Chapter 2-Hiding Away
SANCTUARY-MEDICAL LAB
Adam had run the tests he needed on Sierra's blood samples. It revealed that her body was still being affected by the acceleration process. Instead of one day equaling one month, one week equaled one month. Adam was worried. If he let her body accelerate long enough, then Gabriel wouldn't recognize her. She would be safe. Adam mixed up a serum that would halt the acceleration, the DNA would need to be fixed a bit Adam sealed off the lab, and began to write an e-mail:
Eve-
Sierra's test results reveal that she ages one month per week, I've made a serum to halt the acceleration, but when should we stop? So, every twelve weeks equals a year. E-mail me ASAP!
Adam
Adam sent the e-mail and hoped that Eve would respond soon. I had been two and a half weeks, so Sierra was two and a half months old. When would they stop the acceleration? When could they tell Shalimar that her daughter was really still alive and well living with his sister in the U.K.? He had lied to his children, all of them, and worse of all that he had hurt the one person in the world that loved him most.

The Next Day...
Adam opened his e-mails, there were surprisingly two from his sister:
Adam-
If we wait until she's five, I believe that it would be in the best interest of Sierra and her parents. Her hair is starting to curl. She is so beautiful, Adam! The second e-mail I've sent has a picture of Sierra. There should be another package arriving at your PO Box in the next few days.
Eve
Adam opened the second e-mail. Sierra was beautiful, she had short, curly, light brown hair and brown eyes. Eve had her dressed in white and she was smiling, she looked like an angel. Adam started to cry, "I wish I could show them," he said softly. Adam printed out the picture and then deleted the e-mails. Adam hid the picture in a panel of the lab.

Jesse brought Adam his package as usual, Adam sealed off the lab and ran his tests. Everything looked normal. At the bottom of the package was an envelope. He opened it:
Adam-
I can't believe that today she's two! She's so beautiful and so intelligent! There's only thirty six weeks left! I hope you've been testing the serum on her current bloodwork, so there won't be any problems. See you in nine months!
Eve
Adam smiled, only nine months until he could tell his children that Sierra was alive, and that she would come home to Sanctuary with Eve. "How I wish I could tell them," he told himself knowing that every month on the day Sierra was born that Shalimar isolated herself away from everyone else. Eve had also included an updated picture. She was more and more beautiful in every picture. Her hair was in ringlets and shoulder length.

"Jesse, would you mind going to my PO Box?" Adam asked.
"Only if you agree to not lock yourself away in the lab all day, again," Jesse told him, "AND as long as Emma can come. We want to go out to lunch, and Emma says that there's important shopping to be done. You know Shalimar's birthday is coming up, Adam."
"I know. You two have fun, just don't forget to check my box," Adam told him.
"Thanks, we'll be back in a while," Jesse told him. "Come on, Emma!" Jesse yelled as he put his brown coat on. Emma ran down the stairs and walked with Jesse out to the garage.
"What are they up to?" Shalimar asked as she and Brennan walked up behind Adam.
"Hey," Adam greeted turning to face them. "They're going out to lunch and shopping."
"Mail pick-up?" Brennan asked.
"Yes, that too," Adam agreed. "So, why don't we all have lunch?"
"All THREE of us?" Shalimar asked surprised.
"Unless you have other plans."
"No," Shalimar told him smiling.
"Then let's go eat!" Brennan told her. They walked off to eat lunch.

Okay, I know I haven't updated the two other stories, and you who have waited for them to be updated know which ones I'm talking about, I'll get to them ASAP! Promise, I just have my two brothers and my best friend's graduation coming up along with my math class (that I hate!) going on.
