Part 4
~~~
Shalimar remained in a state of unconsciousness for three days without any change what so ever. Brennan would sit by her with Alex and read to her but she never moved. Adam told him that this was her body's way of dealing with the virus but it didn't make feel any better.
It was early on the fourth morning when Brennan began pleading with her, "please sweetie wake up. Alex keeps asking when you are going to wake up and I don't know what to tell him" he began to sob "he needs you..I need you...please"
She never moved...not even a twitch
Putting his head in his hands he began to cry when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking up he saw Adam looking down at him. "Hey" he said hoarsely
"Go to bed Brennan"
"I can't sleep. Any progress?"
"Well I can't reverse what was done but I think I may have found a way to slow it down so she can get it under control"
"Get what under control?"
"Somehow she had developed your elemental ability. It could be because of the virus or the genetic manipulations.... I just can't be sure at this point"
"When can you have it ready?" anxiously he asked "It is going to take some time Brennan"
Shooting out of the chair and yelling "Adam look at her she is slipping away time isn't something she has"
"Brennan..."
"Could the two of you please stop yelling?"
Both men turned and looked down at the exam table in amazement
"Shalimar" said Brennan leaning down and taking her hand in his quickly noticing he felt no energy flowing through it "how are you?"
"How do I look?" she replied trying to crack a smile
"Are you in any pain?" Adam asked
"Other than a headache no, how long have I been out?"
"Three days" answered Adam
"Three days?!" she replied shocked
"Shal calm down" Brennan said running a hand through her hair trying to soothe her and it seemed to be working she visibly calmed down
"Shalimar I may have found a way to slow down the virus but controlling your new abilities will take time"
"Adam what are you talking about?" she asked very confused
"Do you remember shocking Brennan?"
"I shocked..no..when?"
"Just before you lost consciousness you shocked Brennan, he nearly lost consciousness himself"
She was so stunned she was speechless
"Adam thinks you may have developed elemental abilities like mine and Alex's"
Hearing her son's name Shalimar snapped out of her daze, "how is he?" she asked softly
"He's fine he misses his mom though" she smiled at him trying hard not to cry
"Why don't the two of you get some rest?" suggested Adam
"Can I leave the lab?" she asked trying to push her luck
"No you cannot leave I need you here so I can monitor you"
She made a puppy dog face but he didn't give in.
Brennan knew why she wanted to leave so he came up with a compromise, "tell you what Shal, why don't I go and get Alex and bring him here" he said looking at his watch "it's almost time for him to eat anyway" he kissed her on the lips before leaving to go get their son
After he left the room Shalimar looked at Adam, "be honest with me Adam"
"Shalimar you are going to beat this it is just going to take time" he replied before leaving her alone to take in everything he had told her
"Yeah time" she whispered to herself looking down at her hands
"Mommy!!" yelled the young boy as he ran towards the table
"Hey sweetie" she replied holding out her arms for him. He hopped on the chair and curled up on her lap
Suddenly Brennan showed up at the door to the lab "he's fast. I told him you were awake and he took off" he said winded
She laughed and looked down at the boy in her arms "he's asleep already" she whispered to her husband as he sat down
"He missed you and so did I" he said running hand along her hairline "We'll get through this Shal"
"Yeah I know we will" she replied relaxing under his touch again and placing her head on his shoulder
Adam watched the happy family reunion and vowed to himself to save the first child of Genomex he saved....again.
