Dealing Chapter 3
A/N: I apologize for not being able to post it sooner (its been written out for like ever and a day now) I just wasn't able to get online and update my story. I hope you guys are still enjoying this one as well as all my others.
The Past Revisited
Adam, Brennan and Shalimar found the new mutant the next day. After successfully putting him in the underground they returned to sanctuary. Emma and Jesse were in the rec. room curled up together on the couch watching a movie when the others walked into the room.
Brennan sat down in a chair, "Hey guys. Don't you two look cozy," he grinned.
Emma just smiled and Jesse wrapped her tighter in his arms.
Shalimar sat down in another chair and watched Adam go back into the lab. Then she turned her attention to her two younger friends on the couch. A sparkle on Emma's left hand caught her eye and Shalimar looked from Emma to Jesse, "Do you guys want to tell us something?"
Emma's eyes sparkled and she said happily, "Jesse and I are getting married two months from now."
Brennan sat straight up, "Since when did you two start going out anyway? Now you're getting married? I don't think it's a good idea." He wasn't happy; Brennan didn't think Jesse was good enough for Emma. Mostly he didn't want Jesse to hurt Emma by calling off the wedding. Emma was much too fragile for Jesse to mess with. Marriage was a big step and he didn't know if his two friends were ready for that.
"I didn't know you two were seeing each other. How long have you been together," Shalimar asked.
Jesse grinned, "About two months. And we both want this; we're not rushing this if that's what you think. Emma and I know each other better than our own selves."
"Jesse and I love each other," Emma smiled and kissed Jesse on the lips.
Shalimar smiled, "Well congratulations you two." She got up and went over to the couch, giving them both a hug.
Brennan still wasn't pleased but he saw how excited Emma was and decided he should try to be happy for her.
They all sat quietly as the movie continued. Before it finished they all fell asleep.
3 weeks later
Jesse and Emma had Jesse's stuff moved into Emma's room. The halls of Sanctuary were dark and quiet. Everyone was asleep, including Adam. Suddenly the silence was broken when Emma started whimpering and kicking. "No…" she mumbled and kicked Jesse's leg hard.
Jesse woke up and turned to Emma, "Em? Honey, wake up." Gently he shook her.
Her body stiffened as he touched her shoulders. Tears fell down her face as Emma continued to struggle.
"Sweetheart? It's okay. Wake up," lightly he touched Emma's face. His heart broke to see her like that. All of the sudden her mind reached out and connected with him. Emma's emotions overpowered Jesse and knocked him out.
Emma's Dream
Jesse looked around wondering what happened. His eyes fell on two people. Realization swept over him and Jesse ran over to them. Massing a fist Jesse hit the guy and pulled him off of Emma. Then he kicked the guy some more as Emma pulled her pants back on. She continued to cry on the ground and hugged her knees to her chest.
Jesse left the guy alone and went over to Emma, sitting next to her; he pulled her into his arms.
"Jesse," her voice cracked as another sob caught in her throat.
Jesse held her tightly, "Em, this is a dream. You have to wake up. You're safe in Sanctuary. Please wake up." He planted a kiss on her temple and the world seemed to disappear.
Jesse and Emma's room
Both Emma and Jesse woke up. Emma was trembling so Jesse pulled her closer to him. "You're safe Emma," he stroked her hair and tried to calm her down. It had been awhile since Emma had those nightmares, he was afraid why she was having them again.
Wiping the tears from her eyes Emma said, "I think I'm going to be sick," and ran into their bathroom. She threw up into the toilet. When her stomach finally calmed down, Emma wiped her mouth and flushed the toilet. Jesse walked into the bathroom just as she was brushing her teeth.
"Are you okay?" Jesse was concerned; Emma never got sick to her stomach after she woke up before.
Emma spit into the sink and rinsed out her toothbrush. Then she set her toothbrush in her cup and turned to face Jesse, "I don't feel good." All of the sudden she burst into tears and fell to the floor sobbing.
"Oh Emma…" Jesse ran to her side and hugged her. "Maybe Adam should check you out."
Emma nodded and Jesse helped her up. Jesse leaned in and kissed Emma's tears, that got her to smile a bit. Putting his arm around Emma he walked her to the lab.
Adam heard footsteps and looked up; Emma was pale and didn't look to good, Jesse was worried. "Are you sick Emma?"
Emma nodded and Jesse helped her to the chair. Emma laid down and Adam scanned her to see what was wrong.
Adam read the results as they popped up. "Well you're not sick. Emma…you're pregnant," Adam said.
"I'm what?" Emma could feel tears coming again. She was freaked out and she was positive Jesse was too.
Jesse shifted nervously on his feet, "Um, how many weeks?"
"About three weeks. Jesse…is the baby yours?" Adam had no clue about anything that was going on and he was in shock.
"Yeah," Jesse smiled but Emma didn't notice.
Emma climbed out of the chair and ran to her room. As soon as she left the lab, her tears fell. Running into her room Emma shut the door and locked it. Then she collapsed on the bed sobbing.
In the Lab
Jesse turned to Adam, "I'd better go see if she's okay." Quickly he ran out of the lab and headed for his and Emma's room.
Adam saved the results; in two more months he could find out what type of powers their baby would have. Then he turned back to his other work.
Jesse and Emma's room
Jesse knocked on the door, "Emma? Are you okay?" When she didn't answer Jesse phased through the door. His eyes fell upon Emma, whose body was shaking from crying so hard. Slowly he walked over to the bed and climbed on it. Laying down next to her, Jesse pulled her into his arms. Lightly he kissed her forehead, "Shhh. Em, it's going to be okay."
Emma looked at him with tear filled eyes and slowly shook her head. Unknowingly to Emma, her mind connected with Jesse's and it melded with his. All her emotions hit Jesse like a ton of bricks; she was scared, guilty, worried, and there was a hint of happiness but all the other emotions overpowered it.
Jesse gently wiped away her tears, "Em…it's going to be okay. It's a bit scary, but we're going to be parents, and I'm glad that we are. I hope it'll be a girl so she'll be as beautiful as her mother," Jesse smiled at Emma. Then he lifted up Emma's tank top and kissed her stomach.
A small smile spread across Emma's face, "I want a girl too." Emma snuggled closer to Jesse and soon she fell asleep, she was exhausted. Jesse kissed Emma and held her tightly. Even though he wasn't tired anymore his eyes shut and he drifted off to sleep. But instead of his dream, he was in Emma's. Jesse had no idea how or why he was pulled into her mind again but he would keep her safe. Remaining in Emma's dream he protected her mind as she slept.
Later that morning
Emma and Jesse woke up at the same time. Looking at Jesse, Emma smiled, "How did you do that?"
"Do what," Jesse asked.
"You came into my dreams with me. When I felt you…I felt…safe. Do you think you can do it again tonight?" Emma's eyes were filled with hope.
"I don't know how it happened. But if I can somehow do that again I will." Jesse tenderly kissed Emma on the lips. "How are you feeling this morning?"
Emma saw a gleam in his eye and laughed, "I don't feel sick. I'm still a little scared though."
"Me too Em…but I'm sure we'll be the best parents." Jesse grinned, "Since you're not sick do you think you want to…" he whispered something in her ear.
Emma laughed, "Jess, we're the only two people in this room…you didn't have to whisper. And does this answer your question?" Emma kissed him passionately.
"I was hoping that would be your answer," Jesse kissed her back.
Emma broke off their kiss and went into the bathroom.
"Are you sick again Em?" Jesse peered at the bathroom door which she left open.
Emma threw her clothes out the bathroom door and turned on the shower. "Want to join me," her voice was light and playful.
"Oh yeah!" Jesse took off his clothes and joined Emma in the shower after he shut the bathroom door.
