Chapter 6
The guys carefully followed Shalimar and Emma, as the girls walked through the town nearby. Minutes later, Emma and Shalimar disappeared into a drug store.
"Why would they want to go in there? I thought they wanted to buy clothes," Jesse was worried even more. *What if Emma's sick? This vacation doesn't seem to be very relaxing for her.*
"We shouldn't talk. If Shal comes out, she'll hear us," Brennan warned.
Just then, the door opened and Shalimar and Emma came out of the store. Both girls were carrying a bag. "I think we should go back. The sooner we find out, the sooner Brennan and Jesse can give us massages." Shalimar purred at that thought, Brennan gave very good massages.
"I wonder what Brennan and Jesse are doing right now? Do you think we should sneak back in the house or tell them that we're back?"
Shalimar thought for a moment. "I think we should tell them that we're back, but we need to check something out real quick."
The guys ducked in the alley, as the girls walked past them. Jesse looked at Brennan, "How are we going to get back before them?"
"Taxi," Brennan whistled, and a taxi pulled over. Quickly they hopped in. Jesse gave the driver the address, and the taxi sped down the street.
When the taxi pulled up to the house, Jesse paid the driver, and they ran inside. "Let's watch some t.v. until they come back," Brennan grabbed the remote and turned on a basketball game.
Ten minutes later, Shalimar and Emma ran into the room. "Emma and I are going to change into our bathing suits. Meet us by the pool in ten minutes, we want our massages. Then if you want, you can join us for a swim."
"I guess we should go get changed," Brennan said a few minutes after the girls left the room.
"Yeah, let's go." Jesse followed Brennan to his room. Since Emma and Jesse's room was right across from Brennan and Shalimar's, the guys could hear the girls form inside. Both of the guys stopped to listen.
"Emma, are you okay in there?"
They heard the bathroom door open, "Oh my God. Shalimar, this can't be possible. It's positive." Emma shouted out in frustration, "How the hell can it be positive?"
"Emma, the guys can hear you if you shout like that, calm down," Shalimar warned.
There was a pause, and then Emma spoke again, "Less than two weeks ago, I was pregnant and gave birth to Emily. There's no way that I could get pregnant again this fast. Oh my God…what is Jesse going to say? We're getting married, but we never talked about kids. I mean, we're young. And what about Mutant X? I still want to be out there with you guys. I don't want to be kicked off the team." Emma broke into soft sobs, and there was no doubt that Shalimar was trying to comfort her friend.
Jesse stood outside of the door in shock. Brennan had to drag him into the other room. "You okay?" Brennan knew that what they just heard was shocking, it was almost impossible. He didn't know what else to say to his friend.
Jesse sat down on the bed, "I'm going to have a baby?"
"Actually, Emma's going to have the baby. You get to be a dad though," Brennan laughed.
"Wait a minute. Emma's right. How can she get pregnant again so soon?"
"I don't' know Jess, maybe Adam can tell us when he gets back."
"Hold on, we can't let Emma and Shalimar know that we listened to them."
"So we don't say anything about it. You heard Emma, she's scared. She'll tell you when she's ready. In the meantime, we own them a couple of massages, so we'd better hurry up."
"I'm going to be a dad," Jesse was still in a daze, he could hardly believe it.
After changing into their swimsuits, they headed towards the pool. Opening the door to the pool room, they saw two beach chairs laying flat next to the pool. Shalimar was sitting on one wearing her black bikini and Emma was on the other chair wearing her silver bikini.
"Okay, lay down and we'll give you your massages," Brennan said as he walked over to Shalimar.
Lying down on their stomachs, Emma and Shalimar closed their eyes in order to help them relax better.
Jesse's hands were warm and his touch was gentle as he massaged the kinks out of Emma's neck. *She's so tense, it can't possibly be good for her.* His hands left her neck and he began to work on her back, loosening her tight muscles.
Emma was feeling more relaxed with every movement Jesse made on her skin. *Maybe I should just tell him. He's going to know anyway.* "Jesse?"
"Yeah Em?"
"I need to talk with you about something." Turning her head she looked over at Brennan and Shalimar, "Alone," hoping they'd take a hint.
"But my massage," Shalimar whined.
Brennan leaned down and whispered something in her ear. Looking over at a door on the far end of the pool room, she nodded her head. Shalimar ran off towards the door, eager for more of Brennan's firm, but relaxing touch. Seconds later Brennan and Shalimar disappeared into the steam room.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" Jesse already knew, but he had to pretend like he didn't.
She sat up and motioned for Jesse to sit next to her. Taking in a deep breath she said, "I think my body's been healing itself because I'm pregnant and the baby has some kind of healing powers." Looking deep into Jesse's eyes, she tried to sense some kind of reaction. Half of her thought he would be freaking out, while the other half was hoping he was happy.
Sensing her insecurity about all of this, Jesse gave her a hug. "Wow. I'm going to be a father? I can't wait. Is this why you've been acting weird all morning?"
Emma nodded, "I wasn't sure what you would think about all of this. It shouldn't even be possible, last week I gave birth once. Nobody can get pregnant that fast. And how can I still work for Mutant X? That's going to be impossible with a child."
Jesse pulled away and looked into her liquid blue eyes. "When Emily was with us, we managed just fine. You're always going to be a part of Mutant X. But I don't think you should be out in the field until after the baby's born. Everything's going to be okay." He leaned in and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Do you want to go in the Jacuzzi, until Brennan and Shalimar come back?"
"Sure. IF they come back. Shalimar just fell asleep." Emma and Jesse both climbed into the Jacuzzi and began to talk about their wedding and the baby.
The Steam Room
Brennan continued to massage the blonde beauty, who was lying face down on the bench. Shalimar was purring loudly as she slept. Not knowing she was sleeping he said, "Shal, do you want to go out for dinner tonight?"
The only answer he received was louder purring.
"Uh Shal?" He stopped massaging her and kneeled down next to her. *She's asleep. I get up the nerve to ask her out on a real date and she falls asleep.* Gently he brushed a piece of fallen hair out of her face.
"Mmmm, don't stop Brennan," Shalimar said sleepily.
"Wake up Shal, it's too hot to sleep in here. I don't' think it's a good idea for you to take a nap," he said while shaking her lightly.
Shalimar opened her eyes, and noticed that Brennan's face was inches away from hers. "Why did you stop?"
"You fell asleep. It's too hot to sleep in here, you could get heatstroke or something."
Sitting up she gave him an annoyed look, "It's not like I was asleep underneath a boiling hot sun."
He got off the floor and sat on the bench next to her. "I'm sorry. Let me make it up to you. I'll take you out for a nice steak dinner." Brennan looked at her face which was now beaming with joy.
"Brennan Mulray, are you finally asking me out on a real
date?"
"Are you going to say yes?"
"Yes Bren, of course I will," Shalimar leaned forward until their lips met. Wanting more she opened her mouth and deepened the kiss.
After a few minutes, Brennan got carried away and reached around her, untying her bikini top. Before he could successfully untie it, Shalimar pulled back in shock. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Brennan looked at the floor and mumbled, "I'm sorry. I just thought that…uh sorry."
Quickly retying her top, tight, she said, "I think Emma's done talking now. "Let's go see." She headed for the door, but before she opened it, Brennan gently grabbed her arm.
"Are you mad at me? I'm sorry. Do you still want to go out with me tonight? I'll understand if you changed your mind." His voice was soft and gentle like he was afraid to hear the answer.
Shalimar sighed, that was the second time he tried something like that. Both times she stopped him, without really telling him why she did it. "I'm not mad at you, and I'd love to go out with you tonight. But I do think that we need to check on Emma and Jesse."
Brennan got the feeling that she wasn't telling him everything, but he decided to let it go for now. Letting go of her arm, he followed her out the door, and back into the pool room.
They looked around the room for Jesse and Emma. Finally Shalimar pointed to a far corner of the room where the Jacuzzi was. Jesse and Emma were making out, and they didn't seem to notice Shalimar was sneaking up on them.
Standing right behind them, Shalimar cleared her throat, "Ahem. I hope we weren't interrupting anything."
Emma jumped at Shalimar's voice. Jesse and Emma both broke apart and looked up
at Shalimar. Moving off of Jesse's lap,
Emma said, "Uh…no."
Looking up at Brennan and Shalimar, Jesse said happily, "I'm going to be a dad."
Brennan grinned, "Congratulations brother. Any names yet?"
Emma shook her head, "I want to find out the sex of the baby first. Does anybody know when Adam's supposed to come back?"
"I'm not sure, but my guess would be soon. The sun's setting, and there's no way they could stay out all night and day without telling us right?" Shalimar was getting a little worried. First their pilot tried to kill them, then the whole fight on the island. Suddenly they were saved by Adam's 'friend' who they knew nothing about; well except for Adam. She couldn't shake the feeling that the danger had followed them off of the island. Most of the time, her instincts were right. The others started talking about something, but Shalimar wasn't paying attention. She was fighting off the feeling of danger that was forming in the back of her head.
A/N: Stay tuned to found out where Adam and Christina are, and if danger is still lurking in the shadows. Please review! It helps me figure out what I did wrong, (or right :)
