Shalimar woke up early the next day eager for the hour when Jesse would be
in her arms once more. She could hardly wait. Of course she also knew her
and Brennan would have to talk. She dreaded breaking his heart again but
it needed to be done. He needed closure to heal. She smiled to herself
knowing that Lexa would be there to comfort him. She was excited because
to waste some time she and Lexa were going shopping for new clothes.
After showering and dressing she went to look for Lexa. The guys would be home by six and it was now 8:30. She wanted to get going by 9 so they could get everything ready. They had decided that together they would make a special dinner. So Shalimar was off in search of Lexa. She could've used her com ring to locate her but, she didn't want to chance a slip up for fear the guys would hear and know what was happening. She found Lexa in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee.
"Well Lexa are you ready to go shopping?"
"I don't suppose you'll let me finish my coffee first?"
"Oh, alright if you really must I suppose it'll be fine."
"Sorry Shal I didn't sleep very well. I'm very nervous about telling Brennan how I feel. Aren't you a bit nervous yourself about talking to him yourself?"
"I am a bit nervous about it of course but, I'm more excited about Jesse coming home. And of course finding you a new outfit today that will surely get a rise out of Brennan. Speaking of the new outfit we really should be going. Don't forget we're also making them a special dinner. I figure we can make them some prime rib, baked potatoes with some dinner rolls and salad. And I am going to make a fabulous dessert also. We should also pick up a nice bottle of wine."
"I guess we should get going then. Sounds like we've got quite a few stops to make."
Lexa quickly finished her coffee and then she was off to finish getting ready. By 10:30 they were finally on their way. It would be 4 o'clock when they finally arrived back at sanctuary loaded down with bags of new clothes and food to make for tonight. They quickly set about getting everything ready so that when the helix landed both men would be happily surprised to find a beautifully set dinner table and both women dressed spectacularly. Shal was the one that actually set the table up for dinner. She had decided that she would set it for two Lexa and Brennan and she and Jesse would take theirs to their room they were now sharing for a private dinner between them. She hoped Lexa wouldn't mind. She just figured it would be a nice way for her and Brennan to be alone and talk. And if Lexa could finally tell Brennan her true feelings by the time Shalimar talked to him it would perhaps be easier on them all. Her thoughts were interrupted by Lexa letting her know the helix was docking. She felt like a five year old on Christmas Eve anticipating the arrival of Santa Claus as she sprinted down the stairs to join Lexa. When she got to the landing bay she saw that Brennan was already off the helix. And from the expression on his and Lexa's faces she could tell something was wrong. Tears started to well up in her eyes and all she could think was where was Jesse and why hadn't he gotten off of the helix?

Thank you for reviewing and please keep letting me know how you like the story. Sorry I haven't really given any indication on Jesse and if he is all right.
