She sat in her car, wondering if Brennan was thinking about her. She knew she should stop but she couldn't help it. She loved him, even as much as she hated him at this moment, hating him for choosing Shalimar and not her. And now she was in a pickle and she was going to have to find away to get along with it or work through it at least. She spotted a payphone across the street and thought it might be best if she should call her cousin and let them know that she was coming. She quickly finished the last of her tatter tots and through the trash away. She pulled her car into the gas station across from Sonic and pressed the phone number to her cousin Liva.

"I love him. I really do. I don't know why it took me so long to admit to myself, I guess I was just afraid. Now all I have to do is tell him." Jesse gave a small smile. Emma was just like her mutation, emotional. He skipped a few pages; not wanting read her private thoughts, hoping that she wrote down why she left the way she did. " I finally found out why I was sick, and I'm scared. I didn't want to believe it, not after the announcement they made today. It would seem petty, like jealousy. And I've known for a few days, I just wanted to make sure. They would have brought that up and I would have to give them everything. I should have told Brennan before."

Jesse closed his eyes tightly and put his finger in the book and closed it. He quietly got up and went to Emma's bedroom door, but first he looked both ways to make sure no one was coming his way. He made his way to her bathroom and looked for the trashcan. He found it, he looked inside and he felt his stomach drop. " That I am pregnant." The stick in the trashcan proved positive. Jesse slowly made his way back to his room and sat down on the edge of his bed and put his head in his hands. "Damn you Brennan." He swore.

Brennan sat in a chair in his room staring at the same spot he had for the last half an hour. He didn't know why he did what he did, but he did it and one person who was like the brother he never had is angry at him and one person whom he loved left him. He gave a deep sigh. Yes, he now could admit to himself, he loved Emma. 'I'm a coward.' He thought forlornly. He guess what they say is true: you never know what you have until you've lost it. Well he now knew what he was missing and he hated himself for it. He ran his hands roughly over his face and shook his head in hopes of clearing it. He pulled out his sleeping clothes and put them on and went to bed.

1:45 AM: Flashbacks-

A slender body beneath him. Long legs wrapped around him. Red hair wrapped around his hand. Gasps and moans that spurred him on. Big blue eyes that stare up into his as they came.

Brennan's eyes snapped and he bolted up in his bed, gasping for breath. It was their first night together that he was dreaming about. He got out of bed and returned to the chair in his room and blinked back the tears that were forming in his eyes. 'Where are you Emma?' he thought desperately.
