Disclaimer: Mutant X does not belong to me, the only thing that does is anybody who is not originally on the show (can I say duh?) like Sam and the baby and Emily (she's dead I know but still mine hehe)
A/N: thank you to whoever is still reading my story (I think maybe they are two people lol) if I didn't scare you off yet I'm sure I will eventually (although I wish I didn't, I tend to lose more readers this way *sigh*) anyway for all who I did not scare off, here is…
Chapter 7
On the beach
Adam and Christina were sitting in the sand, in front of her house, watching the sun set over the horizon. Earlier, Christina took him all over town, showing him where all the good stuff was. Then they went to a restaurant for dinner and walked back to the beach.
They sat in silence for a few more minutes, until Christina spoke up, "We'd better go in now. Your team might think there's something going on between us otherwise." Standing up, she began to brush the dirt off of her butt.
Adam stood to his feet also, brushing the sand off of his pants as well. Then he looked over at Christina and gave her a smile, "Let's head in then." Together they slowly walked back to her house.
"Adam?"
"Yes?"
"Would you like to watch a movie? It's still early but I already showed you the whole town," Christina asked, silently wishing that he would say yes. *How can I just tell him that we've made a mistake? It was stupid to break up just because work kept getting in the way. We're here now. Work's not coming between us. But how can I possibly tell him that I still love him?*
Adam's response interrupted her thoughts, "I would love to. Maybe the others could go find a club or something in town. That's more their style anyway." *Did I just say that out loud? Nice going Adam, let her know that you want to be alone with her some more. I need to tell her how I feel. Who am I kidding? We've been alone all day long so far and I haven't told her yet.*
As they walked into the kitchen, they noticed that Jesse and Emma were eating dinner.
Feeling their emotions of love that seeped out between Adam and his 'ladyfriend,' Emma spit out her water.
Jesse looked at her, and she started to blush. "Are you okay," he laughed.
"Yeah. Hey Adam, and Christina. We saved you some food," Emma pointed over to the pots on the stove.
"We already ate. Adam and I are going to watch a movie. There are some really nice clubs in town, if you want to go check them out." Christina walked into her living room and started searching for something to watch.
Shalimar and Brennan came back from their dinner and at the mention of going out for the night, they both raced upstairs to change.
Adam turned to go, but Emma stopped him, "Can Jess and I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure." Adam walked over to the table and sat down. "Is something wrong?"
"Not exactly. I've been healing myself the past two days. I knew it was weird, so I talked to Shalimar. She mentioned a new mutant who had the same power as I have now."
"Yes I remember. He was a psionic-molecular. But how could you heal yourself? Do you think your powers are changing again?" Adam was afraid the trip may have to be cut short, incase she needed to be scanned. All of his equipment was back at Sanctuary.
"My powers aren't changing. I'm pregnant. The powers are my baby's. What I wanted to ask you is how can this be possible? It wasn't too long ago since I've had Emily. No one can get pregnant this fast, but yet, I am."
Adam looked at the concern look on both Jesse and Emma's faces. "I wish I could tell you, but I'm not so sure of the reason myself. When we get back, I want to you to stay and work with me in the lab, instead of out in the field. That way the baby will be safe until it's born."
Emma sighed, nine months of staying off of the field. *Great, I'm usually stuck in Sanctuary anyway. But now I'll really be stuck in there. I'd better make the rest of this vacation count.* "Okay Adam. Jess, let's go get changed before Shalimar and Brennan leave without us." Emma ran up the stairs to their room, with Jesse close behind her.
Smiling, Adam walked into the living room and sat down next to Christina. The movie started and neither of them noticed five people leaving the house. Four were together, but one lurked behind, in the shadows.
Genomex
An agent walked into Eckhart's office. "There's a phone call for you sir, on line one."
"Thank you, now get out!"
Picking up the phone he said, "Yes? They're where? Yes. Keep an eye on her, when she's alone, put the governor I gave you on her neck. Then take her someplace and call me, I'll be waiting. Oh and Sam, if you touch her before I get there, I'll put you in stasis. Don't forget that you have a governor on also and if you don't want me to activate it them you better behave. So keep your hands to yourself. I don't want her harmed. She's alone now? Well go get her. I'll be waiting for your call." Quickly hanging up the phone, he grabbed a vial of purple liquid. *After she drinks this, that baby will be born in nine hours. Then I will take the baby and raise it myself. Maybe it could even turn my skin normal once again. What a perfect weapon, none of them would actually be able to hurt it.* Smiling at his newest plan to destroy Mutant X, he left for his helicopter.
A club somewhere in town
Jesse and Emma were dancing , when she pulled him off of the floor to a table. "I'm going to get some water, do you want anything?"
"Nah, don't be too long," Jesse called as she disappeared towards the bar.
Emma was almost at the bar, when she heard someone calling her, "Emma!" Looking around into the crowd, she didn't' see anybody she noticed. "Help! Emma!" Frantically Emma looked for the voice, and her eyes fell on one of the exits. Quickly deciding that someone might need her help, she pushed her way out of the door into the ally way.
"Hello? Is anyone out here?" The ally way was dark, so Emma decided on using her powers to see if someone really did need her help, or if she was hearing things.
A wave of fear washed over Emma, but the fear was her own; she couldn't use her powers. Quickly she turned around and opened the door. But before she stepped inside, someone grabbed her from behind and threw her on the ground.
"Hello again Emma," Sam said with an evil smile on his face.
Emma started to get off the ground, but he pushed her down on her stomach. Pain ripped through her neck as he put a sub-dermal governor on her. "That's so you can't run off and use your powers like you did last time." Then he took out a long strip of cloth and tied it around her as a gag, while pinning her to the ground with his knees in her back.
Emma was struggling to get out from under him, but he had her pinned fast to the ground. Roughly he grabbed her hands, and tied them behind her back. *Oh my God, he's going to kidnap me! Jesse, I know you can't hear me, but I need your help!*
"Relax, I'm not going to do anything to you…yet. First my boss wants to see you." He jerked Emma to her feet, and dragged her to his car. Emma tried to pull away from him, but with his feral strength, he managed to keep a hold on her. After shoving her into the car, he climbed in and sped off down the street. Eckhart would already be at the motel when they got there, but Sam phoned him, just incase. "Yes sir, I'm bringing her now. Nine hours after she drinks it? Then I can have her? Why thank you sir. No, I didn't touch her, well she has a few bruises on her back and arm. Yes, we're almost there. See you soon sir." Sam hung up the phone and continued to drive in silence.
Emma heard the conversation, and was worried. *Nine hours? I'm not drinking anything. Please Jess, notice that I'm not there.* She continued to plea in silence for Jesse to save her, even though without her powers, he wouldn't be able to hear her.
Back at the club
Jesse was desperately searching for Emma, it was ten minutes since she left to go get the water, and she didn't some back yet. Walking out to the dance floor, he spotted Shalimar and Brennan. "Brennan, Shalimar, let's go!"
They walked over to Jesse, and Shalimar said, "Where's Emma?"
"I don't know, she was going to get water. That was ten minutes ago. She never came back. What if some…" he was interrupted by someone else's thoughts.
*Jesse, help me! If there's any chance you can hear my thoughts…Sam took me. He tied my and put a governor on my neck. I'm going to see his boss. We're pulling into a motel on Grove and West street. He's opening the door to room 104. Oh my God! He's working for Eckhart. Please get me, I don't know what they're going to do.* Her fear lingered in his mind, after a few seconds her voice returned. *Eckhart just poured a vial of purple stuff down my throat. Jess, I think he's after our baby! It's going to be born in nine hours, I think. Hurry and get me! Unless, you can't even hear my calls for help.*
Brennan looked at Jesse; after he cut himself off, he just stood there in a trance. Putting a hand on his friend's shoulder, Brennan said, "You okay?"
Shalimar snapped her fingers in Jesse's face, "Hey Jess, you there?"
Jesse broke out of the trance, but Emma's fear and sadness remained with him. "We have to save Emma. She's at a motel on Grove and West street, room 104. Eckhart's after our baby, and Sam's there too. He's the one who snatched Emma in the first place. Don't even ask how I know, I'm not sure myself. Emma's got a governor on. But we have to save her." Jesse took off for the exit, with Shalimar and Brennan at his heels.
After they were all in the car, Jesse sped down the street, hoping that Emma and the baby could hang on until they got there.
A/N: Can Jesse, Shalimar, and Brennan take on Sam and Eckhart without their powers? Will they manage to save Emma and the baby? Or will Eckhart deliver it and keep the baby for himself? Find out next time on Mutant X. Please R&R! I'm begging you…*gets on hands and knees* Any feedback is good feedback in my book, so help me out will ya? :)
