Chapter 6
Note: Sorry it's been so long, I have been really busy. With finishing High School and now graduation practice. Well, I hope this is good for you. God, I haven't updated in a month, almost. Very sorry. Here's a short piece.

Emma stared at her reflection in the semi-fogged mirror. Her mind kept running in circles, ' I'm going to have a baby, I never told the father and the others might be looking for me.' Her hand moved down to rest on her still flat stomach, ' Maybe I should have left a note?' she gave a snort and shook her head, she was asking her unborn baby what to do.
Emma shook her head and finished drying off and went in her room to put on a pale blue summer dress. It was sleeveless and scoped just a little on the neck and stopped three inches from her knees. She bought the dress two days after the outside new mutant doctor confirmed that she was pregnant. She didn't know why she bought it, only that she liked the color, she shrugged her shoulders, and at least she could wear it when she was far along. She found a brush and rubber band and put her hair in a ponytail.
She walked slowly down the stairs as she heard children laughter and the sounds of dishes and something that was frying being made. Emma could smell the cinnamon and syrup that was being used. She walked to the doorway to the kitchen and leaned against it and watched Livia and her kids. She made it look so simple.
Livia looked up and caught Emma standing in the doorway. " Hi. You hungry?" she asked her. Emma thought about it for a second and moved into the kitchen. "Yeah, I could eat." Livia smiled her approval. Livia set a plate on the table and started giving her food. Emma sat down at the table, the awkwardness she felt at intruding on her cousin now gone.

Jesse was once again back in Emma's room. He had read and reread Emma's journal so much he knew it by heart. Some of what he read made him angry and pity Brennan. Jesse loved Emma like a brother and if Brennan couldn't see that his sister was good enough for him, then all's the more shame on him. Jesse was looking though everything now; underneath her bed, in her closet, anywhere. And while he was doing that he was cleaning her room at he same time. No need for her to come back home, when she chose to, to a room that smelled like the perfume counter at the mall.
" What the hell are doing?" Brennan demanded angrily. Jesse turned to look at him and through him a glare. " Whats it look like." Jesse snapped back. Brennan walked further into the room. He looked around; it looked cleaner than it did a few days ago. The smell of perfume wasn't as strong as it used to be. " You are cleaning her room?" Disbelief colored his voice. Why would Jesse do such a thing? " Yes. I didn't want her to have a messy room when she comes back." Jesse said.
Brennan looked at him, confusion clear in his eyes. " What makes you think she'll come back?" At that moment Shalimar walked into the room. " She who? Emma?" she questioned both boys. Jesse looked at her. " Of course Emma will be back. And when she does, she'll have some surprises with her." Brennan folded his arms over his chest. " What kind of surprises?" Jesse just shook his head. " She would have told you, but you had to be stupid and never learn it." With that Jesse walked out of Emma's room with a shoebox he found full keepsakes. He hoped it would lead him to find her.

Adam was cleaning out some of the old e-mail inside the computers when he realized that there was quite a few to a Dr. Zimmer. The name sounded familiar. He searched his mind for the name, when he almost had it, he heard the beeping from his inter com. " Yes?" He waited for the person on the other end to answer. " Adam, Proxy just came up with another new mutant. He's causing a lot of trouble." It was Shalimar. He took a deep breath and pushed the save button and closed everything down. " Okay, I'll be right there."
^^^^^
Brennan walked back to his room, his mind going over what Jesse had said. He didn't want to admit it, but Jesse knew something that he didn't. He didn't like that very much. Brennan could feel the guilt weighing heavily on his shoulders. He knew that the tension in Sanctuary was mainly his fault. He should have told Emma that was thinking seriously about dating Shalimar. He knew he hurt her, he just never took into consideration how much it would hurt her. He slide against the door he had been leaning on and sat on the floor, he drew his knees up to his chest and rested his head on his folded arms. ' I want her back. She is the one I want' he thought forlornly. ' Tuff, you should have thought about that when you were screwing her and left her to date some one more adventurous.' The evil part of his brain said. He made his way to his bed and slid under the cover, his last thought was ' It wasn't screwing.'

Hope that was okay.
