That evening while watching TV Emma asked Adam if he'd told Annie that Ty had been hurt.

" No I haven't" he replied while yawning.

" Don't you think you should, I mean if the situation was reversed wouldn't you want her to call you?"

" Yes I would. But considering it's been almost a week, can it wait till morning, I'm to tired to deal with Annie's melodramatics at the moment" while trying to stifle another yawn.

" Alright Adam, if you're this tired go to bed, you don't have to watch this movie now."

" Thanks and goodnight" he said giving her a quick kiss.

************

Adam took Emma's advice and called Annie the next morning and told her about Ty getting hurt.

" How could you let this happen? You said she would be safe with you!" Annie said her voice getting louder with agitation.

" It was an accident, she's getting better" Adam replied trying to reassure her.

" So when will she be well enough to come home?"

" She doesn't want to leave Sanctuary she feels safe here and this has become her home."

" Fine, but I want to see for myself that she's ok."

" Ok, I'll have someone I know pick you up and bring you here today."

" Good I'll be waiting."

************

Once Adam was done talking on the phone he called his contact and asked him to pick Annie and bring her to Sanctuary. He then called a team meeting where he told everyone what was going on, he also asked everyone to be on their best behavior while Annie was staying with them. At six that night Adams contact dropped Annie off at Sanctuary.

" So this is the whole in the wall you call home?" Annie said her voice filled with disdain.

" Yes, this is our home" Adam said calmly. Then pointing to the others he introduced them " Annie these are the members of my team, Jesse Kilmartin, Shalimar Fox, Brennan Mulwray, whom you've already met."

" Ah yes the criminal who seduced our daughter."

" And this is Emma Delauro."

" Ma'am you don't know me so don't judge me , I've done things in the past and yes most of them were illegal, but I did what I did to survive and I'm not ashamed of that. Secondly you need to get your facts straight I didn't seduce your daughter." Brennan said all of this while trying to keep a tight rain on his temper which was starting to loose control of.

" Well I'm happy for you, but what you have to say is of no interest to me" then she turned to Adam " So is that your bit on the side?" she asked pointing at Emma " I see you like them young these days."

" Mom that's enough you're being crude and it's totally uncalled for." Ty said wheeling her wheelchair into the entryway from the living room. " Emma is a kind and caring person who doesn't deserve this."

" Oh my god!" Annie exclaimed as she rushed to her daughters side " Are you alright? Shouldn't you be in bed?"

" Relax mom it looks worse than it really is. I'm fine and I don't need to be in bed." she said trying to reassure her mom.

" Why don't I put your bags into the guestroom" volunteered Jesse, taking Annie's suitcase.

Shal, Emm and Adam followed Jesse's lead leaving mother and daughter to talk.

" Do you need anything hon.?" Brennan asked " because I still have some work I need to take care of."

"Thanks Brenn, but no I don't. Be careful, I love you." Ty told him with a grin.

" Love you too. Don't overdo it." Brennan said with that I know everything look on his face.

" So is he off to steal someone's car or maybe rob a bank?"

" That's not funny, he doesn't do stuff like that anymore he's a good man and I happen to love him." with that said she turned her wheelchair around and rolled herself back into the living room. " Take a load off." she said pointing at the huge sofa. " So how is everyone?"

" They're all worried about you and frankly so am I."

" As you can see I'm fine so stop worrying."

" Actually I don't see that at all. I see my daughter who is normally a physically active child in a wheelchair paralyzed."

" According to dad that's temporary, just till the swelling goes down."

" Well I talked with a specialist back at the Glenoak hospital and he says this could very well be permanent."

" If by some twist of fate this is permanent, then I'll adapt. I'm a feral mom I don't give up that easily I way to much to live for."

" How did this happen? And please don't tell me it doesn't matter because it does."

" I went on a mission, it was a setup, and I got hurt end of story."

" No not end of story. The end will be when I get you back home and away from these freaks who put your life in danger."

" Mom, I am one of those freaks" she yelled her eyes flashing yellow " and for the record what happened is my fault, Brennan warned me not to go and I ignored him. Getting hurt is one of the risks you take when you're a part of this team. It could have just as easily been Shal or Emm who got hurt, but they were lucky. These people are my family they love me for who I am and they don't judge me. This is my new home and I'm not going anywhere."

" What about the rest of us?"

" You're also my family and I love you, I'll still come home and visit."

" Is because you're afraid to leave, are you afraid of how that guy would react."

" Brennan? He would never hurt me. He loves me and I love him. Also mom you need to learn to accept him because he's going to be a part of your family as well."

" What are you talking about?"

" Brennan asked me to marry him and I said yes."

" But you two barely know each other."

" I know everything I need to know about him and his past. I'm also 8 weeks pregnant with his child."

" What were you thinking?"

" We didn't plan this but we're both happy. Dad says the baby's healthy."

" So is the baby gonna be different like you?"

" My guess is yes. Both Brennan and I are new mutants, so the odds are 99.9%. We probably won't know what kind until after the baby is born but that's ok."

When Ty said this Annie got up off of the couch and stormed out of the living room in search of Adam. She found him in his lab and they got into a heated argument were Annie broke several glass objects.
