Excuse any medical discrepancies that are in this part I went with what I
remembered from when my sister was pregnant. Enjoy
~~~
Jesse and Emma were driving to Dr. Lithe's office
"So what exactly are we going to say to this guy? Hey we know your research is being used on our friend's baby can you tell us how to reverse it?" mocked Jesse
"Ya know ever since Shalimar announced she was pregnant you have been so cynical" said Emma "You still think Brennan is wrong for Shalimar, don't you?"
"None of this would've happened if they weren't together" fumed Jesse
"How can you say that?" she was shocked by his confession. Lately she had been sensing animosity towards Brennan but this was totally new to her "I was right that night at the club, you are jealous" "I'm not jealous that they are together. I'm jealous because maybe I want what they have with each other"
"You're being so rude because you're lonely?" she asked trying hard not to laugh
"See I knew if I told you, you'd laugh"
"No I am not. That's really sweet" she replied "I just thought it was something else" she added thankful that he wasn't pining over Shalimar
"Well I have been thinking a lot about someone" he replied smirking at her.
"Really?" she smiled back and he nodded
A few minutes later they pulled into the office parking lot.
"So what's the game plan?" she asked getting out of the car
"Well let's see what security is like, if it is tight then we use some finesse to gain access to his computer"
"And if it isn't?"
"We use finesse anyway...c'mon"
"Ok" she said loud enough for only her to hear
They entered the office and walked up to the receptionist
"Hi is Dr. Lithe in?" asked Emma
"I'm sorry he is out at the moment. Can I help you with anything?" asked the receptionist curious as to why they were asking
"I was interested in his latest research and was wondering if I could have a moment of his time"
While Emma distracted the receptionist Jesse phased into the doctor's office and began looking through his files
"I'm sorry the doctor is very busy"
"Well I could always come back some other time thanks" said Emma walking away from the desk. "Jesse are you in?" she asked into her ring
"Yeah and I'm almost done downloading his hard drive. Man this guy keeps everything on his computer" he replied as he typed
"Ok well hurry, I don't she bought my story"
Popping the disk out of the drive Jesse put everything back the way it was and phased out of the office
"I'll meet you at the car"
"Ok" she replied
Arriving back at the car they pulled out of the lot but quickly noticed they were being followed.
"Damn they really didn't buy your story" said Jesse looking in the rear view mirror
"Yeah well it wasn't a very convincing story" she replied looking out the back window "can you lose them?"
"Not a problem" he replied swerving the car
After several left and right turns they managed to elude the cars following them long enough to make it to the secret entrance to Sanctuary. Parking the car in the garage they let out a coupled sigh and got out of the vehicle
"I hope Shalimar and Brennan's doctor appointment went better than ours" she stated moving towards the door and smiled to herself as she sensed Jesse watching her walk away.

[Same time across town]
Brennan and Shalimar walked into the clinic hand in hand and approached the receptionist.
"Hello, can I help you?" asked the woman behind the desk
"Yes, Shalimar Fox to see Dr. Schilling" said Shalimar
"Have a seat and I will call you in a moment"
They smiled at the woman and moved to take a seat in the waiting room "Nervous?" he asked
"A little but excited at the same time" she replied
"Ms. Fox"
They went to the doorway to meet the doctor
"Hi, I am Dr. Schilling come with me"
After shaking hands with the Doctor they followed the woman down the hall into an exam room.
"Ok put this gown on and get on the table and I take it you are Brennan?" he nodded as Shalimar went into the alcove to change. "Well in that case dad move over to that side of the table so you can get a good view of screen" she said positioning him as Shalimar came out of the alcove and hopped on the table
"First we'll do an ultrasound, then dad will leave so I can do a physical exam ok?"
They nodded in response
"Don't be afraid to talk I won't bite and I'm sure Adam told you I know everything so don't hesitate to ask any questions"
"Sorry we are just kind of excited" said Shalimar
"Alright so let's get started" she said turning on the machine "This jelly might be a little cold"
Shalimar cringed a little.
"Everyone does that. So let's see this little one" she said as she looked on the screen for the fetus. "There you are" she said when she found it
Brennan and Shalimar were in awe.
"It's so tiny" said Shalimar
"It won't stay that way for long trust me. There is the heartbeat" she said pointing to the fluttering on the screen.
"It is so fast" said Brennan holding Shalimar's hand
"That's normal. Would like some pictures?" they nodded in reply and the doctor printed them out. "Ok dad here you go and now you need to leave so I can do mom's exam" "Ok I'll be right outside" he replied kissing Shalimar before leaving the room
A few minutes later the doctor and Shalimar emerged from the room. Brennan walked over to them
"Everything looks good and I'll need to see you again in three weeks to see how everything is going. Here is my card call me anytime and congratulations"
"Thank you" said Shalimar as she and Brennan left the office
"I wonder how Jesse and Emma made out at Dr. Lithe's?" asked Brennan as they made their way back to Sanctuary

TBC...What does the disk Jesse made hold?
