Part Thirteen: Twins
Brennan thought about the choices for a few moments. Either way she was going to miss the pregnancy and she wouldn't want to be out for eight months. "Adam, we should call Alex."
After giving Adam the news Brennan just sat back down beside Shalimar and took her hand. It didn't matter if the baby was his, Shalimar was and he would always be there for her and the baby. A few hours later Brennan felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up to see Nicole and Emma standing there.
"Adam told us what happened. I'm sorry we weren't here. I wish we could help." Nicole said looking at Brennan.
"There wasn't anything you could do. There wasn't anything anyone could do. She'll be okay. Alex should be here in a few hours and then Shalimar will be okay." Brennan turned back around to look at Shalimar and slowly felt Nicole and Emma leave the room. He wasn't going anywhere.
Three hours later Alex arrived and performed the 'procedure' on Shalimar. He explained though that he would have to slowly reverse the procedure once the child was born. He couldn't just reverse it because the baby would go into shock. He agreed to come around periodically for the next year to complete the reversal.
Brennan stayed by Shalimar's side for the entire week until he felt her twitch uncontrollably. "Adam, I think Shal is in labor!"
Adam rushed in and confirmed Brennan's thoughts, "Get Emma and then I'm afraid you're going to have to wait outside. I'm going to have to perform a C-Section on her."
Brennan did as he was told but couldn't stop pacing as he waited to hear the information on the baby and his fiancée. An hour and a half later Adam emerged from the lab and asked for Alex. "He can do the first part of the reversal now and then I'll let you in."
When Alex emerged, Adam finally let him in and directed him over to Shalimar who was finally starting to move after a week under sedation. He also saw two cribs next to her bed. Two cribs?!? That had to be a mistake.
"Hey Shal, how are you doing?" Brennan asked smiling.
"I'm fine. Adam told me what you did. It was the right decision Brennan. Did you here though; I had twins." Shalimar looked into the nearest crib and saw a head full of dark hair and gorgeous green eyes. In the next crib was another baby with chocolate brown eyes and a little blond hair. "This one here is a girl and over there is a boy. I haven't named them yet. I figured their father would want to help."
Brennan's head whipped around as he looked at Shalimar, "You mean I'm their father? How do you know?"
"It was the first thing he did when they were born. He thought I'd want to know when I woke up. He was right, it was the first thing I asked about."
Brennan heard movement behind him and turned to see everyone standing behind him. They were all smiling bursting to ask some questions. Will spoke up first, "So what are their names?"
"We haven't decided yet. Give us ten minutes and then come back." Brennan said chuckling.
"So do you have any ideas for names?" Adam asked behind them. He obviously was not going to just leave Shalimar after the surgery and the sedation.
Shalimar looked at Brennan and said, "What do you think about Michael for our little blond boy over there?"
"I like it but he still needs a middle name, what about Adam?" Brennan said looking at the man he knew Shalimar thought of as a father.
"I love it!" Shalimar said crying slightly. "What about our little girl here" Shalimar said looking at the brunette baby.
"Ever since the nurse at the first-aid station, I've liked the name Mariella." Brennan suggested.
"It's beautiful. How about Marama for her middle name. I had a friend from New Zealand once. It was her name and she told me it meant Light of the world. I've always loved it."
"It's gorgeous, she's gorgeous and so are you." Brennan gushed looking at his new family.
"Can we come in yet?" Jesse asked impatiently looking around the corner.
"Come meet the newest members of Mutant X, Michael Adam and Mariella Marama." Brennan said smiling. "Adam, I've got a few questions though. How old are they going to be when their advanced growth rate stops?"
"Unfortunately they'll be almost five before the growth rate can be stop. Really they'll only be a year old, but they'll will be for all intents and purposes be five year olds." Adam said frowning.
Shalimar looked up at Adam, "It's fine Adam. They are healthy and there are Brennan's and mine. We'll look after them and we will all survive. That's what matters."
It was the first time she had been really happy in almost a month. Things were finally alright in her life and Gabriel hadn't ruined them. As an afterthought though Shalimar looked up at Adam, "What are their abilities Adam? Can you tell yet?"
"Oh yes, these children are powerful and I can tell most of it already. Both are feral and elemental but each has different traits of the two. Little Michael here has a dominate feral side. I'd say it's probably even stronger than yours Shalimar. Mariella there is the most powerful electric elemental I've ever encountered. She's more powerful than Gabriel or Brennan."
AN: What do you think? I though it would be fun to throw in a little twist. What will Shalimar and Brennan do with two rapidly growing mutants, two of the most powerful yet.
