SANCTUARY-JESSE'S ROOM
Jesse was reading in his room when a knock came at the door, "come in." Jesse put his book down when he saw his best friend walk in. "Shalimar! How are you feeling? Should you be up?" Jesse asked approaching Shalimar who looked happy, but her face was red and puffy, she had been crying. "What's going on?"
"Jess, I'm...I'm..."
"What? Are you sick or what?"
"No," she said laughing a bit, "I'm not sick. Adam says I'm fine."
"Then what happed at the club?"
"Jess, I'm pregnant."
"What?!" Jesse hugged Shalimar, "I'm happy for you, so who's the father?"
"I don't know."
"What?"
"Ask Adam, please, I don't feel like explaining right now. Okay?"
"Okay, congratulations again, Shalimar," Jesse said hugging her again before she left.

SANCTUARY-BRENNAN'S ROOM
Shalimar knocked on Brennan's door hoping that he would be as happy and supportive as the others had been. The door slipped open to reveal a damp Brennan with a towel wrapped around his waist. "Come in," he told her.
"Maybe I should come back in a little while?"
"No, no, come in," he told her pulling her in and closing the door. Brennan pulled Shalimar into his arms and held her. "I'm so glad we're going out Shal' , you know I haven't felt so good in a long, long time." Brennan pulled out to see that Shalimar was crying. "What's wrong?" Brennan asked tracing the side of her face.
"Brennan, I don't know how to tell you this..."
"Shal' , I'll love you no matter what."
"I'm pregnant," she told him.
"Pregnant? But we haven't...So, who?"
"I can't answer that."
"What? Now you're sleeping around?"
"No!"
"I can't believe you would do this! God!" Brennan said angry.
"Brennan, it's not what you think...Adam said that..."
"Shut up! Just shut up! Get out!" Brennan told Shalimar who was now violently crying as he opened the door.
"Brennan please let me explain..."
"There's nothing to explain!" Brennan pushed Shalimar out and slammed the door shut. Shalimar entered her room and immediately feel on the bed and cried herself to sleep.
