~*~*Chapter 2*~*~

Shalimar stepped into the hot-tub after Brennan and settled down on his lap. "I love you." She said softly as she kissed him.

Brennan smiled, "I love you, too." He turned and opened the champagne bottle, pouring it into two glasses. "To us..."

Shalimar smiled up at him as they gently tapped the glasses together.

~*~*Sanctuary*~*~

Emma lay on the couch, almost asleep, with her head on Jesse's lap as he stroked her arm. They had gotten pizza for lunch and then put on a movie.

Adam walked in carrying Mina, who had fallen asleep on the way home from the park. He took her up to her room and then went to tell Jesse and Emma they were back. He walked into the rec. room and smiled when he saw Emma half asleep. "Jess, I'm back." He said in a whisper.

Jesse turned and nodded, before gently lifting Emma's head and slipping out from under her.

"Were there any calls or e-mails?" Adam asked, after they were out of the room.

"Nope, no one called, no one e-mailed." Just then the computers beeped. Jesse frowned. "Looks like I spoke too soon."

Adam smiled and opened the e-mail. He read it silently and then looked over at Jesse. Adam was about to give him the command to get Emma and then go, but Jesse was to fast.

Having already read the e-mail himself, over Adam's shoulder, he said. "Don't worry, we're on it."

Adam smiled and shook his head before going to the lab and preparing it for the visitor they would be having.

~*~* 20 minutes later. *~*~

Jesse and Emma arrived at the park and sat down on the bench near the playground. A few minutes passed, before a little brown-haired girl, who looked to be about three or four, came up to them. "Are you Mutant X?" She whispered, holding two little dolls in her hand.

Emma and Jesse exchanged looks. "Yes," Emma replied.

"My mommy needs your help. She's sick."

"Where is your mother?" Jesse asked.

The little girl took his hand and pulled him over to some trees. They found a woman sitting on the ground with her face buried in her knees.

Jesse went over and knelt beside her. "My, name is Jesse. I'm with Mutant X. Emma and I are here to help you." He said softly as he helped her stand.

She took her daughters hand and slowly looked up.

Jesse and Emma stood in shock. They couldn't believe it was her.
