Disclaimer:I do not own Mutant X, Tribune and Marvel do. : )
Author's Note: Hi all! Thanks to all who have been r/r. Anyways there's two chapters posted today, but that's only because I can't promise posting tommorrow night or on Sunday because I'm going to prom! So, I'm not in HS anymore, whatever! I still get to go! Anyway, I'm going to try to get chapters up for "Returning to Westchester," and "Mutant X's European Tour" soon, so enjoy the two chapters!
Mutant X
"The Price We Pay"
Chapter 5
SANCTUARY-MEDICAL LAB
Adam had made sure that Shalimar was put to bed as soon as they arrived. Brennan had volunteered to stay with her in case she woke up and needed something or was confused. Adam had sent everyone to bed while he went to the lab. Adam was looking at Shalimar's pregnancy results on the computer when Emma entered. "What are you looking at, Adam?"
"Go back to bed, Emma."
"You were lying earlier."
"What?"
"About Shalimar. What's REALLY going on Adam? Don't lie to me or...us."
"Emma..."
"No, Adam! No more secrets!"
"We can't tell Shalimar,...yet."
"What?"
"Gabriel wanted a child. He wanted Shalimar to be the mother, but wanted a child with the telepathy gene AND be feral. But the child couldn't be Gabriel's because the DNA wouldn't fuse correctly, so I used someone else's DNA..."
"Who's?"
"Is it important?"
"Yes!"
"Brennan's."
"Oh my god! Is Shalimar really pregnant?!"
"Yes, we artificially impegnated her."
"And Brennan's the father?"
"Biologically. Genomex had a DNA sample from when Eckhart had you both, and I thought ...at least we KNOW Brennan. Was I wrong, Emma?"
"No, since you HAD no choice I think you did great. So, why can't we tell, yet?"
"I don't want her to stress out, and well I wanted to give her some time to feel comfortable back home again."
"I promise I won't tell."
"Good, but not even Brennan or Jesse."
"Promise."
"Good."
"Adam, you know you can talk to any of us."
"I know, it's just...I don't know I guess I usually talk to Shalimar about stuff."
"Well, I'm always here if you need to talk."
"Thanks Emma."
"Come on," Emma said pulling Adam out of the lab. "NOW GO up stairs and go to bed. Hurry, I want to sleep, too!"
"Okay, okay!" Adam told her as they walked up to their rooms and went to bed.
