[Emma's room]
"Emma you in here?" asked Megan as she knocked on the half opened door and stuck her in the room
"Yeah come on in" she replied as she came out of her bathroom
"If this is a bad time I can come back"
"No come on in. what is wrong?" she replied still brushing her hair
"It is probably nothing but that guy Marc well I don't think he is telling us everything"
"Have you been reading him?" Emma asked in fear that the young girl might know what she didn't want anyone else to
"No I don't like reading people because sometimes I get so caught up in their emotions that....."
"That you can't turn it off and they consume you?"
"Yeah"
"I used to have that problem. Don't worry you will learn to control it. So what is it specifically about Marc that bothers you?"
"I don't know I just get the feeling he is leaving something out when he describes this plan or whatever that he keeps going on about"
"Is it possible your own fears are meshing with the fact that Marc's explanation concerns you and Keith?"
"Maybe I mean it has happened before" she replied not totally convinced herself
"Well I will keep an eye on him" she pointing to the middle of her forehead and the young girl laughed
"Ok I guess I will go get some rest then. Thank you for listening to my paranoia"
"No problem I seem to be doing this a lot today and you are not paranoid; you are simply more in touch with yours and everyone else's emotions than they are"
"Yeah good night Emma"
"Good night" Emma replied. After the door closed Emma let out an exasperated sigh. She hated having to lie to the young girl but at the same time she did sense Megan's fear about being involved in the situation but that shouldn't make up for her lying to her. //oh boy Emma what have you gotten yourself into?// she asked herself before collapsing on her bed

[Brennan and Shalimar's room]
"Sean get back here it is way past your bed time" Brennan yelled as he chased his son around the room. The boy just laughed as he used his feral powers to avoid his father's advances "wait till your mother gets back" he said crashing into the couch after missing him again
"Daddy you're funny" laughed the boy as he perched himself on a chair in the room
"Yes he is but he is right" said Shalimar. The boy whipped his head around and came face to with his mother
"But I am not tired" he whined
"I know that you want to roam around at night but you need fight that urge and go to bed" she replied kneeling in front of the chair "You don't want to sleep all day do you? You won't be able to spend time with Uncle Jesse or Aunt Emma"
"No but it is fun to watch daddy try and catch me" the two laughed
"Glad my parenting skills are so funny" added Brennan who was now in a sitting position on the couch
Shalimar merely gave him a small 'I'm sorry smile' before picking up their son and taking him to his room. Several minutes later she returned to their room.
"His nocturnal side is really starting to kick in" he told her as she re entered the room
"Is that why he fell asleep when his head hit the pillow?" she replied smiling
"You know he is you. He enjoys beating me at everything just as much as you do"
"You know he only does it because he knows he can and that you will get so worked up about it"
"So what you're saying I should just let him run around like crazy?"
"No I am just saying you shouldn't play his game because then he has you and he's won. Just like I do when we spar" she added with a devilish smile
"Were you like this when you were his age?"
"I think so, sorry"
"Great can't wait for his teenage years"
Shalimar merely gave him a look that said 'don't even go there.'
Too afraid to challenge her he merely backed off and changed the subject. "So what do you think about this whole death's design thing?"
"Changing subject are we?" she asked with a smirk
"Well ya know I just thought 'hey I value my life'" he replied making her laugh
"I don't know part of me still feels guilty for all of this and the other is scared that one of us is going to get hurt"
"You know I wouldn't let anything happen to you or Sean" he replied putting his arms around her and pulling her close
"Yeah well who is going to protect you?" she asked kissing him on the lips
"Hmm now who is changing the subject?" he asked as he kissed her back
"What can I say? I learned from the best" she replied running her hands through his hair
"He's asleep right?" he asked as he ran his hands along her back and under her shirt
"Yep" she replied rubbing up against him as their kisses became more and more passionate
"Good" he replied picking her up carrying her and laying her down on the bed and covering her body with his own.
