Joy
Chapter Six
"Will someone please tell me what is going on? Now." Michael demanded again, his gun pointed at Owen, along with Alex's.
"What is this? Point guns at the hero day?" Owen asked sarcastically.
"Everyone is on the same side here. Put the guns down." Nikita commanded with authority, ignoring her tear stained face.
"What is he doing here? What does he mean that he's the hero?" Michael lowered his gun, but still looked suspicious.
"I found the black box in London." Owen announced as he got up from the floor. He picked it up and tossed it to Michael. "See?"
"Then why were you on the floor."
"He kind of surprised us." Alex admitted, and Michael knew something was weird. His two best students had been snuck up on by Owen?
"Why were you in the bathroom anyways?"
"What is this, twenty questions? Alex and I were just having a moment. It's nothing." Nikita said defensively.
"I think we should go." Owen whispered to Alex.
"Good plan. Burgers sound good?" She replied in a soft voice.
"Let's go." Alex and Owen slowly backed out of the bathroom and left the apartment.
"Why were you crying?" Michael asked in a softer voice and took a step towards Nikita.
"I don't want to talk about it." Nikita could feel her mask coming back on. She wanted to figure out how she felt about being pregnant before telling anyone else.
"So Alex gets to know, but I don't?" Michael tried to get closer to Nikita, but she stepped away.
"Just let it go. I can deal with it myself." Nikita brushed past Michael and started to leave the bathroom, but he grabbed her wrist.
"You can tell me anything Nikita, I love you." Nikita sighed in defeat, she would have to tell him eventually.
"I'm pregnant." Michael was shocked. He hadn't expected that. Why hadn't he used protection with Nikita? It had been years since Michael had slept with anyone, so he just forgot. Michael was happy about the thought of a baby, but why was Nikita so upset?
"Are you going to keep it?" Michael braced himself for the answer, it would kill him inside if she got an abortion.
"Yes." Nikita answered. "I could never murder my child."
"It's mine, right?"
"Of course, you were my first since Daniel." Nikita admitted.
"Why are you so upset about this? Shouldn't you be happy?" Michael wanted to be happy, but he couldn't knowing that Nikita was unhappy.
"I'm scared Michael." Nikita finally let her mask fall. "I want to destroy Division, how can I do that with a child? Will I even make a good mother? How can I raise a baby after doing so many bad things?"
"Nikita," Michael stroked her cheek with his finger. "We will still make Percy pay for what he has done, even if it has to wait a while. We are going to raise this baby together and you will be the best mom in the world, I promise."
"Do you really think so?"
"I know so." Michael pulled Nikita into a passionate kiss, that lasted until they both needed air. "You have no idea how happy you make me."
"You are such a romantic." Nikita smirked.
"And you love me for it." Michael lifted Nikita up and carried her all the way to the bed.
Alex grabbed her car and was about to unlock it when Owen grabbed the keys.
"I'm driving." He announced.
"I own the car, I get to drive." Alex retaliated.
"You have to get the keys first."
"I'm not playing this game. Do you even know where we're going?" Alex asked.
"No, but you can give me directions." Owen was smirking, until Alex kicked him in the groin and took the keys.
"I don't give good directions."
"Was that really necessary?"
"Yes."
"So what should we name the kid?" Michael asked, as he snuggled Nikita.
"Are we really talking about this now?"
"What? It seemed like the right time." Michael smiled.
"You seriously have sex with me that roughly and then expect me to talk about what you want to name our child?"
"Admit it, I'm a sex god."
"Yeah, whatever." Nikita didn't want Michael's ego getting too big.
"Wait, she's pregnant?" Owen asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, I know right. Don't tell her I told you though." Alex didn't want to lose Nikita's trust.
"That kid is going to be one huge bad-ass." Owen and Alex laughed.
"But it's going to be so adorable!" Alex squealed. "I'm going to be cool Aunt Alex that buys it awesome presents!"
"What about me?"
"You can be creepy Uncle Owen that nobody likes." Alex smirked.
"You're mean."
"You're going to have to go to the doctor eventually." Michael insisted
"No! I don't want to!" Nikita protested.
"Why not?" Michael couldn't believe that Nikita was so against medical help.
"I don't like doctors. They scare me." Nikita confessed.
"Is that why you had a panic attack in medical after your second mission?" Michael laughed at the memory.
"Yeah, just ask Amanda. She locked me in a straight jacket until I confronted my fear and slowed my heart rate down." Nikita shuddered.
"What about when you're giving birth? Are you going to go to hospital?"
"Shut up! I still have nine months to figure that out."
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know." Alex put down her burger and put a hand on Owen's shoulder.
"It's okay, life goes on." Owen sighed. "I just miss Emily so much."
"You'll find someone else eventually. Just look at Nikita and Michael, both of their past loves are dead, but they found each other." Alex tried to console him.
"Don't remind me, they're probably sucking on each other's faces right now." Owen joked.
"I bet they're doing more than that." Alex laughed.
"I have to go now, Percy said he needed me for a late night recruit training thing." Michael sighed.
"I understand." Nikita was sad, but she knew that Michael had to go.
"I love you." Michael knelt down and touched Nikita's stomach. "And I love that you're carrying our child."
"Just leave before you start crying or something." Michael laughed.
"You just make me so emotional."
"I had a fun time Owen." Alex dropped him off at a hotel.
"I did too, but it would've been better if you let me drive."
"Maybe next time." Alex didn't realize what she said until it was out of her mouth. This was supposed to be a one time thing.
"Of course." Owen leaned in and kissed Alex. "Will I see you at Nikita's tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Alex breathed in shock. Owen had told her all about his dead girlfriend, and now he was kissing her? She was confused, but liked it. Owen winked at her as he got out of the car and Alex laughed.
"Things just got a lot more complicated." Alex said for the second time that day.
