Chapter 4: Just A Little Fun
Shalimar took a quick shower and changed into some clean clothes. Brennan had already changed while Shalimar was in the shower and waited for her down in the rec. room. Shalimar soon came down; she wore a pair of tight black sleek pants, a tight red T-shirt with a very low V-neck, and her long black leather jacket. Brennan was dressed in his normal all black clothing and his long leather jacket.
Brennan smiled when he saw Shalimar come over to him. "Ready?"
"Yup." Shalimar answered.
"Have a good time." Jesse said bouncing Devon on his knee.
"We will." Brennan said giving his two children a kiss on the top of their head.
Shalimar walked over beside him and also gave them a kiss. "Now don't forget to feed them, put them to bed early, and read them ……" Shalimar started to explain before Emma interrupted her.
"We know Shalimar, Brennan already told us everything." Emma said with a huff.
"I know but." Shalimar started.
"No buts just go." Emma replied waving for them to get going.
"Come on Shal, let's go." Brennan said draping his arm around Shalimar's shoulders and led her towards the door. "Don't wait up." Brennan said to Jesse and Emma before they left the room.
"Don't worry we will." Jesse yelled back.
Brennan led Shalimar to the front door and outside; were he had the black Audi waiting out front. He opened the car door for Shalimar then ran around the front of the car and climbed in. He started up the car and took off down the driveway.
"So where are you taking me?" Shalimar asked curiously.
"You'll see, but you'll have to put this on." Brennan answered pulling out a blindfold and handed it to her.
"You have got to be kidding me." Shalimar said taking the blindfold and tied it over her eyes.
Brennan drove for ten minutes; he kept glancing over at Shalimar and noticed she was starting to get very inpatient. "Were almost there." Brennan announced.
"Good." Shalimar replied. After a few more turns, Shalimar finally felt the car pull to a stop. "Can I take this off now?"
"No not yet." Brennan said getting out of the car and went over to the passenger side. He opened up the door and helped Shalimar out of the car.
Shalimar stood beside the car with her hands out in front of her trying to find Brennan. The next thing she knew she felt Brennan pick her up into his arms. "What are you doing?" Shalimar asked with a giggle.
"Nothing." Brennan replied as he started to walk away from the car.
Shalimar tried to figure out were Brennan had taken her, she swore she heard leafs crackling underneath his feet. Not to long after Brennan had picked Shalimar up he put her down.
"Can I take this off now?" Shalimar asked him.
"Not just yet." Brennan said and after a few seconds she heard Brennan's voice again. "Alright you can take it off."
Shalimar quickly took off the blindfold; she was standing at the edge of a cliff that looked out at the city. Shalimar was speechless, she just looked at the lights that shown brightly across the sky. "I love this place."
"I knew you'd remember." Brennan said walking up behind Shalimar and wrapped his arms around her waist and placed his head on her shoulder.
"How could I forget, this is where you took me on our first date." Shalimar replied turning around and gave him a kiss.
"Yup." Brennan replied.
"Thank you." Shalimar said with a smile and gave him another kiss.
"Your welcome." Brennan replied after the kiss. "Want to sit down?" Brennan asked motioning to a blanket that he had laid down on the ground.
"Ya." Shalimar answered and as Brennan sat down on the blanket. She sat down between Brennan's legs and he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him. They sat there for a half an hour just in silence as they looked at the city lights. "So why did you bring me up here?" Shalimar asked Brennan.
"I wanted to ask you something." Brennan answered her plainly.
"So what is it?" Shalimar asked as she pulled away from Brennan so she could face him.
Brennan took a deep breath and thought about how he was going to word his question. "Before I ask it I want you to know it has nothing to do with Sydney and Devon, well it does but that's besides the point. The main reason is that I'm madly in love with you and I would do this no matter what the situation was. So hear it goes." Brennan took a slight pause. "Shalimar will you marry me?"
Shalimar's eyes widened and she was speechless, she was trying to process Brennan's question as fast as possibly. She quickly leaned forward and gave a deep long passionate kiss.
When Shalimar pulled away from the kiss Brennan knew her answer. "So I take that as a yes?"
Shalimar smiled and kissed him again as her second answered. Brennan smiled sweetly at her. "I love how you answer." Brennan said and kissed her once again.
Brennan broke away from the kiss and pulled out the ring box out of the inside pocket in his leather jacket. "Here." Brennan said taking a hold of Shalimar's hand and placed the ring on her finger.
Shalimar looked at the ring. "It's so beautiful, I love it."
"So do you want to go back and show it off to Emma, Jesse, and Adam?" Brennan asked.
"Nope." Shalimar said shaking her head. "I want to stay right here for a little longer."
"Ok." Brennan said pulling Shalimar close to him again. "You're not worried about Sydney and Devon?"
"No I trust Emma and Jesse. Besides when was the last time we got to go out by ourselves?" Shalimar explained.
"Good point." Brennan answered hugging Shalimar tighter.

Jesse and Emma sat on the couch in the rec. room watching TV with Sydney and Devon on each of their laps.
"So do you think Shalimar said yes?" Jesse asked Emma out of the blue.
"Yes, of course she will." Emma said as she stood up and placed Sydney on the couch and walked over to grab a drink. "Shalimar loves Brennan."
"Your right." Jesse said agreeing with his girlfriend. Jesse turned to Devon who was on his lap and smiled at him. "Girls are always right." Jesse told him in a childish voice. Then without any notice Devon's eyes turned a bright yellow and he reached over and took a big chunk out of Jesse's arm. "Holy CRAP!" Jesse yelled holding his arm that was starting to bleed.
"What happened?" Emma asked as she headed quickly back over towards the couch.
Jesse placed Devon on the couch beside his sister and got up holding his arm. "He bit me."
"He what?" Emma asked.
"He bit me, and broke the skin." Jesse replied. "He's not supposed to have teeth!"
"Let me see." Emma said looking at Jesse's arm seeing defiant teeth marks on his arm. "That's impossible."
"Tell that to him." Jesse said pointing to Devon who had propped himself up on his feet and looked over the back of the couch and stared at Jesse and Emma, along with his sister.
"They can't have teeth." Emma explained.
Jesse was going to reply but saw Sydney start collecting energy in her hand. "Shit!" Jesse said lunging himself on Emma bring her to the ground behind a table as the bolt of energy passed over them and hit the wall creating a huge burn mark where it hit.
"What just happen?" Emma asked a little stunned about what just happened.
"Sydney just through a bolt of electricity at us." Jesse explained to her, and lifted over the table and another bolt electricity came at him. He through himself right back down on top of Emma. "Now they're both doing it."
"This is not good." Emma said.
"You got that right." Jesse replied. "Adam, could you help us?" Jesse asked into his comring.
"With what?" Jesse heard Adam ask.
"Devon and Sydney, they're going postal with their powers." Jesse replied.
"What?" Adam said surprised.
"You heard me, HELP!" Jesse begged.
"I'll be right there." Adam replied.
"Be careful of the bolts of electricity flying at you when you come in." Jesse told him as he heard another bolt fly over the table and hit the wall behind them.
Adam ran down the hall to the rec. room. He entered the room and a bolt of electricity immediately came at him, Adam dove to the floor and crawled over to Jesse and Emma who were lying side by side facing the two twins.
"When did this start?" Adam asked.
"Only five minutes ago, when Devon's eyes went Feral and he bit my arm." Jesse explained as he held his arm. "He has teeth."
"Are you sure?" Adam asked and Jesse should him the teeth marks on his arm. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine, I'm just worried that they're going to do major damage." Jesse said.
"I'm calling Brennan and Shalimar." Adam told them.

"So are you excited to plan the wedding?" Brennan asked Shalimar.
"No!" Shalimar replied strait forward.
"Why not? I thought it was every girls dream to plan their own wedding." Brennan explained a little surprised at her answer. "I mean even Emma has her wedding planned out to the smallest detail, that's if Jesse ever gets the balls to asks her."
Shalimar gave a small laugh. "That just not my kind of thing. I was raised be my father, sort of. Until he through me out on the street when I was ten, I never got the chance to dream about that stuff. All I cared about was where I was going to get my next meal from or where I was going to go to stay warm." Shalimar said to him trying not to get emotional about the subject.
"Well now you can. Unless you want to go down to the city hall and get married by the priest down there." Brennan said jokingly pulling Shalimar's body closer to him.
"Actually that sounds great." Shalimar replied plainly.
"Your joking right!" Brennan said with a laugh.
"No I'm serious. I have no family or friends to invite to a wedding. The only people I want there is Jesse, Emma, Adam, Devon, and Sydney." Shalimar explained as she counted them on her fingers.
Brennan didn't really know what to say. "So how's two weeks from now?"
"Are you serious?" Shalimar asked him.
"Ya, lets do it in two weeks." Brennan suggested.
"Sounds good to me." Shalimar agreed as she placed her head on Brennan's chest and they sat looking out at the city in silence.
"Brennan, Shalimar are you there?" Brennan heard Adam's voice coming from his comring.
"Ya were here." Brennan replied.
"I think you should come back right now." Adam ordered them.
"Why? Is everything ok?" Brennan asked.
"No not quite, just get back here." Adam said.
"We'll be right there." Brennan replied standing up with Shalimar.
"What's wrong?" Shalimar asked him.
Brennan picked up the blanket and started walking away. "I don't know he didn't say."
"Do you think it about Sydney and Devon?" Shalimar asked a little worried.
"I don't know." Brennan replied as he and Shalimar starting running towards the car. They climbed in and Brennan drove towards the Sanctuary as fast as he could without putting the car out of control.
Brennan pulled into the driveway and parked the car in front of the main door, instead of taking the time to park it in the garage. They both jumped out of the car and ran into the Sanctuary. "Where are they?" Shalimar asked as they both stopped in the hallway.
"I don't know." Brennan said before he called Adam on his comring. "Adam where are you?"
"Down in the rec. room." Adam's voice replied. Brennan and Shalimar ran quickly down the hall towards the rec. room.
Brennan opened up the door and he and Shalimar rushed in to find Jesse, Emma, and Adam on the floor behind a table. Before one of them could ask what was happening they found out first hand, when a two bolts of electricity flew over at them. Neither of them moved as the bolts missed their bodies by a foot. They looked over at the couch where the bolts came from and saw that their two children were the ones shooting at them.
Shalimar was the first to make a move towards the couch and Brennan followed suit. The two angry parents stopped only a few feet away from the couch. Shalimar crossed her arms and just stood there with a disappointed look on her face. The two twins eyes turned yellow and were about to gather another bunch of energy, when they saw whom they were going to through it at, they immediately stopped and their eyes turned back to their normal color. Sydney and Devon squealed and smiled as they reached with their little fingers out at their two parents. Brennan and Shalimar stood there ground and didn't move a muscle.
Devon got angry when his mom did come over to him when he reached for her, his eyes turned a bright yellow almost as bright has his mothers feral eyes. Shalimar saw he eyes and flashed him her own and gave a low growl warning him not to push her. "Don't you dare give me those eyes mister!" Shalimar said to her son as his eyes slowly turned back to its baby blue color, and he plopped himself back down on the couch beside her sister who had given up already.
Shalimar and Brennan finally went over and picked up their children and walked back over to Emma, Jesse, and Adam who started getting up off the floor. "What happened?" Shalimar asked them.
"They went totally crazy with their powers." Emma explained. "I mean look what Devon did to Jesse." Emma said grabbing Jesse's arm and showed them Jesse's bleeding arm.
"He bit you?" Brennan asked with a slight laugh.
"Its not funny, the little bugger broke the skin." Jesse said butting pressure back on his arm.
"Hey he didn't get that from me." Brennan said in defense, as Shalimar just glared at him. "Well he didn't." Brennan added.
Shalimar was going to say something back at him, when Emma noticed the ring around Shalimar's finger. Emma almost lost it. "OH MY GOD, YOU SAID YES!" She squealed jumping up and down.
Shalimar started to blush a little when Emma brought up the subject. She shook her yes in reply. Emma got close to Shalimar and looked at her ring. "Congratulations."
"Thanks." Shalimar replied.
Emma could control herself anymore. "Shal it's going to be so much fun helping you plan your wedding." She said jumping up and down.
"Emma calm down." Shalimar said in a soothing voice. "We decided not to have a wedding."
"What?" Emma, Jesse, and Adam all asked in unison.
"We want to get married at the city hall in two weeks." Shalimar answered.
"Two weeks?" They all asked again in unison.
"Ya, that way the kids can have a mother and father that are married before they turn one." Brennan explained.
"Your serious?" Jesse asked them.
"Ya!" Shalimar replied.
"Cool!" Jesse said, but did not look like he was that thrilled to hear the news. "I want you both to know that I'm very happy for you even though I might not be showing it, but I'm concentrating more on my arm that is still BLEEDING!" Jesse explained raising his voice so he could get Adam's attention.
"OH right, I'm sorry Jesse. Lets go down and clean that up." Adam suggested.
"That sounds good to me." Jesse replied before walking off with Adam to the lab.
"Tomorrow I want to run some test on Sydney and Devon to see way they are showing their powers so strongly." Adam said before leaving the room.
"Sure!" Shalimar said then turned to her son and tickled his stomach until he was laughing uncontrollably. "You are so bad."
"I wonder who he got that from." Brennan said to Sydney underneath his breath.
"I heard that." Shalimar said hitting his arm with her free hand.
Emma laughed. "I'm going to go check on Jesse."
"Alright." Shalimar said. "And I need to put these three to bed." Shalimar explained giving Brennan a smirk.

"Ah, Eckhart I'm glad you called. I was wondering when you wanted these kids." Mr. Fox told Eckhart from his computer.
"In two weeks I want them here in my custody, Fox." Eckhart ordered Shalimar's father.
"I'll be my pleasure." Mr. Fox replied. "What would you like me to do with my freak of a daughter and her boyfriend?"
"Whatever you want to do." Eckhart answered. "I don't even care how you get the kids I just want them."
"As you wish." Mr. Fox said with a smile as the screen to his computer went back to its original desktop color. Mr. Fox leaned back in his black leather chair he thought long and hard on a strategy he could use to kidnap his two grandchildren. Then he knew what he had to do, hunt down his own daughter.
