Note: Thanks for all your reviews once again, keep them coming please!
aniki19 – I am trying to update faster but we will have to see how that goes anyway. Thanks for taking the time to review though. Hope to see chapter 5 of your story very soon!
P.S - Don't worry you will find out what has happened to Jesse soon enough (next chapter promise), but I thought I would throw this chapter in just so you can see how they are all dealing with the situation. Plus I just love Brennan and Emma what can I say!
Chapter 3: Worries
Emma silently sat in the passenger seat of the car watching the scenery flash by at speed as she had being for the past ten minutes since saying goodbye to Shalimar at sanctuary after ensuring the feral that she would be careful and that they would leave the safe house and package behind at the first hint of a trap. It was difficult watching Shalimar go to the hospital to be with Adam as it was what her heart desperately wanted to do as she had so many things to say to him such as I love you and I'm sorry for forcing you to talk even though her mind told her that she did the correct thing, that the team deserved to know the truth but there was no way in hell that she was going to allow Brennan to pick up the package alone. Just the thought of losing Brennan making her shiver. Plus she herself was willing to go to any lengths for the safe return of Jesse. Snapping out of her thoughts she noticed that the car was slowing down even though they was not near the safe house. "Brennan"? She queried.
"I think we need to talk," he answered bringing the car to a halt on a side ride and turning the engine off. Turning in his seat so that he had a better view Brennan started to shyly speak. "I want to say thanks for coming with me, I know you really wanted to go the hospital with Shal".
Emma stared at him amazed once again at how he seemed to know exactly what she was thinking as if he was the psionic and not her. She believed that she had covered her emotions well even Shalimar with her heightened sense's had not suspected. But then that was Brennan for you she thought, at times it felt as if that connection that she had made with him on their first meeting in the club had never really been broken.
"I know you Emma" he stated amused at her lapse into daydreaming obviously trying to reason how he had gathered that piece of information.
"Yeah I wanted to go to the hospital Brennan if the truth is told but if there is any hope for Jesse then we need go now I understand that".
"Thanks for sticking up for me back there though, I know that you have you doubts that Eckhart even has Jesse, hell for all we know he may well have died at Naxcon and the police were correct in their assumption" Brennan admitted to Emma and for the first time himself in the process.
"Brennan I've already thought of all the possible scenarios and so has Shal for that matter". "You're right he may have died at the explosion and that's why there's no comm. Signal and why I can't get a hit of him but to accept that I also have to accept that there's also the chance that Eckhart did get to him before us and I cant link with him as he's unconscious for now and that we may very well be walking into a trap".
"Yeah well until I see a body then I'm going under the assumption that he's still alive Emma I'm not going to give up on him, I now for a fact that he wouldn't on us".
"Brennan I know that, I feel exactly the same and Shal does for that matter she was just upset about Adam, you're not alone in this ok?" "Don't block me out please," she pleaded now staring directly into his eyes, feeling his walls beginning to rise once may as she did back at Naxcon. "I'm here for you, always". "Anyway there's no way I'm going to let you go to the safe house alone" she admitted.
"What you're protecting me, I thought it was suppose to be the other way around" he teased at the comment that she had just made resulting in a blush from her. "Though seriously Emma maybe you should wait in the car, if this is a trap at least they wont get both of us".
No! She retorted sensing his desire to protect her above all-else even at a cost to himself "like I said to Shal I'll scan the safe house before we go in so we know what were dealing with". "But I do know this Brennan" she whispered to him becoming aware of his presence as she grabbed his hands and placed them in her own "if we go down then we will go down together and not by being picked off one by one do you hear me".
Slowly Brennan released one of his hands and gently wiped away the tear that had began to fall down her face and pulled her into a hug as best as possible since they were in the car "Yeah I hear you" he whispered into her ear.
However as strong as she tried to sound for Brennan's peace of mind inside she felt like a little girl who wished she could wave a magic wand and make it all better. Needing this reassurance she pleaded to Brennan. "Tell me it's going to be ok Brennan, that Adams going to recover and we'll all be round the dinner table eating and laughing with Jesse as soon as we rescue him from Exckhart please".
"Oh god Emma I as much as I wish that I could I can't you know that".
"Then lie to me just for now please" she begged new tears streaming down her face knowing that it was an irrational request, that she would never believe it anyway but yet the child within needed to hear it.
Bringing his mouth next to her ear, his one hand stoking her hair the other keeping her in his embrace he once again whispered to her "I cant but I can promise you this Emma that no matter the outcome for Adam, Jesse and even Mutant X I will always be here for you and Shalimar, I love you both so much there's no chance in hell that anyone can tear me apart from you or her". "That I can and will promise you"
Oddly these words gave her the confidence and reassurance that she needed more than his lies ever could as she did not only hear his whispered words but felt them come from his heart and could feel his love for both her and Shalimar wrap around her as if it were a sheet of silk. "Thank you" she replied giving him one final squeeze and then breaking apart.
At this action he straightened him self in the seat once more before turning the engine back on once again heading for the safe house his mind becoming focused on his mission ahead, of being able to deliver Emma's wish to her and Shalimar.
