Thanks for the reviews and keep them coming.

[Sanctuary]
Brennan paced the floor and immediately pounced on Adam when he exited the lab.
"How are they?"
"Their fine the bullet only grazed her side"
Brennan let out a huge breathe as he ran a hand through his hair
"Then why did she pass out?" asked Jesse
"Well there are some things that pregnant women can't see, smell or eat or it could've been the trauma of the situation that caused Shalimar to faint. I really don't know what exactly caused it but she is fine and well fainting is normal for pregnant women who exert themselves" replied Adam
"Can I see her?" asked Brennan
"Sure"
[Lab]
"Hey" she said weakly as he came in and sat next to her.
He didn't say anything he merely looked at her.
"What is it? What is wrong?" she asked
"I thought.." then he just broke down crying hysterically in her arms "I though I lost you and the baby. Why did you jump in the way?"
"When I heard him cock the gun I...I want my baby to have its father in its life"
"Wow pregnant ferals are really protective of their family's huh?"
"You have no idea" she replied kissing him passionately. "Oh I forgot to tell you Adam said he knows of a doctor who will keep our anonymity and is willing to do my check ups since Adam really doesn't know about gynecology. So we have to make an appointment for an ultrasound"
"Can't wait but we make a deal right here and now"
"What kind of deal?"
"One where you promise me to stay in sanctuary and let us go after who did this"
"Brennan..."
"Don't Brennan me. Promise me you will stay here" he kept rambling
"Brennan...."
"Shal let me finish..."
"BREANNAN" she yelled. That got him to shut up "I already told Adam that I would stay here and help him until the baby was born"
"Oh well ok" he replied feeling a little foolish "sorry"
"And they say ferals can be overprotective" playfully she said
"Cute, real cute"

"So do we have any idea who at Genomex might have organized this?" asked Emma
"No but I can tell you this whoever did do this might be making a play for power in Eckhart's absence" replied Adam
"Well how do know that it wasn't Eckhart?" asked Jesse
"We don't but there would have been something in Genomex's database about him being released" replied Adam
"So now what?" asked Jesse
"Well Alan said this guy visited him in prison before he was released so he had to of signed in, right?" supplied Emma
"Good point. You two check the visitation logs for anyone who visited Alan before he was released and then cross reference them to anyone who works at Genomex" ordered Adam
"What are you gonna do?" asked Emma
"I'm gonna check with my contacts and see if any of them recognize what was done to Shalimar's baby"
~~~ [Later that evening]
Jesse and Emma had searched all the visitation logs and didn't find any names that matched up to anyone who worked at Genomex.
"This is hopeless he probably gave a fake name" said Jesse rubbing his hands over his face.
"What about the security tapes I mean he may have been able to change his name but a camera caught him then we can cross reference his picture" suggested Emma
"Yeah good idea Emma" complimented Jesse
"Thank you"

[Shalimar's Room]
Brennan had taken Shalimar back to her room after Adam released her from the lab with the stipulation that she get some rest.
They were currently lying on Shalimar's bed. Brennan had head on her stomach and was talking softly to the baby, recounting stories of mutant x.
"I don't think it can hear you yet"
"You never know" he said before returning to talking to the baby "So Uncle Jesse phased and the bad man's bullets bounced off him and then daddy hit him with a bolt of electricity knocking him unconscious" Shalimar gasped "what is it what's wrong?"
"Nothing you just said 'daddy' it sounded cute" she replied smiling
"I didn't even realize I said it but I like the way it sounds too" he replied moving up her body to kiss her
"I thought Adam said I was supposed to be resting" she said between kisses
"You want me to leave fine I'll leave" he said getting up but was quickly pulled back
"I didn't say anything about leaving I was just repeating what Adam said" she replied pulling him back down for a kiss
They continued to kiss for a while before falling asleep spooned together each with a protective hand on Shalimar's stomach.
