"Come on let's get you out of here." Brennan slowly stood up out of the
water supporting Emma as her head rested against his chest.
They made it to her room inch by inch leaving a trail of water behind them. He pulled back the covers and helped her crawl into bed. He was about to ask her if she wanted to change, but the minute her head hit the pillow she was sound to sleep. He gazed at her for a moment. *She looks so peaceful* He covered her with blankets as a drop of water fell from his chin onto her cheek. He slowly wiped it away. Not once did she flinch from his touch. He glanced at her one more time and then began to leave the room.
"Brennan," Her voice was a mere whisper
He stopped with his back towards her, "Yeah."
"Thank you." He smiled at her even though she couldn't see him and continued out of her room in his damp clothes.
"What happened to you?" Shalimar followed the trail of water that led to Brennan a couple feet from Emma's room.
"Emma fell in the pond." It was silent for a moment before they both let out a little chuckle
"How's Jesse?"
"He's still sleeping. I was just about to go check on him." Brennan reached out and rubbed her shoulder. She reached up and put her hand on his. Letting out a sigh they both went their separate ways.
Shalimar reached Jesse's door and stopped. *I can't do this, I can't do this*
"Someone out there?" Jesse's voice came from inside
She opened her mouth to talk, but nothing came out.
"Adam?" Getting no response he walked over to the door and opened it
She had her back to his door getting ready to walk away when the voice she's been longing to hear spoke again.
"Shal, where are you going?" She turned to face him
"Um. Nowhere. I came to see you."
"Good I could use some company." He held out his hand directing her inside his room
"Where are your crutches? Adam said he wants you to use them for a couple of day until you're up to full strength."
"I am watch this." Jesse turned to face the door. He held out his left hand, formed an electrical ball and threw it at the door panel on the wall. Instead short circuiting it, it sent out bolts of electricity everywhere, then bursted into flames. His door begun to simultaneously open and shut.
"Oops."
"Ooo! You're in trouble." She said trying not to laugh
"It's not funny Shal, Adam's going to kill me." The smile on her face became even bigger causing her to cover her mouth with both her hands.
"Come on, laugh it up." Suddenly she burst out laughing.
"Shal! It's not funny." Jesse was now trying to keep a straight face
"Shal!" By this point he joined Shalimar who was in tears from what he thought was because she was laughing so much. They were both holding their stomachs that were in pain from laughing so hard. She glanced at Jesse *It's nice to have you back*
Adam stood out side of Jesse's room in peace watching and listening to the two. He stood there for a minute or two soaking in their happiness and joy, before leaving to check on the other two.
He made his way to Emma's room first. He opened the door to her room and peaked in. "Emma?" He saw her sleeping in peace for once. There was no movement, whimpering, or heavy breathing. He quietly closed her door and made his way over to the next room.
He knocked on Brennan's door before opening it. "Brennan?" He glanced around his room to find his bed made up and a pile of wet clothes on the floor. He walked out of the room and made his way over to the dojo. Walking up the stairs he found Brennan sitting in the middle with his legs criss- crossed with each arm on a leg and on each hand every finger was up except for his pointer finger and his thumb.
"Damn it."
"Something wrong?" Brennan quickly turned to face the carrier of the unknown voice
"I don't know how she does it Adam. I'm going to go insane. There's too many feelings, troubled, happy, scared, frightened, love, hatred, content ness. I can't do it. " He uncrossed his legs and stood up rubbing his temples.
"Why don't you ask Emma to help you? Tomorrow. Right now you need to get some rest."
"Yeah. Good night Adam." Brennan walked past Adam down the stairs and made his way to his room.
"Good night."
