Chapter 7
Note: Sorry it is so short, but well it's been a while and I figured something is better than nothing. Let me know if I need to fix it.

The club was packed, people that where getting a nice buzz from their drinks had already reached the dance floor and letting themselves bumping and grind on everyone they could get their hands on. Brennan sat in the corner waiting for Shalimar to get back from the restroom. He figured that he owed Shal this since they were a couple but he hadn't done couple things with her.
In fact they had been a couple for at least five months now, and the most they had done was hold hands while they were on a mission. He couldn't bring himself to do anything else with her. He was weighed down by too much guilt about Emma and Jesse wasn't letting him forget that either. In fact Jesse seemed to know a whole lot about Emma lately. And frankly he didn't like it, He was the one Emma usually told things to. Him, not Jesse.
He sulked more into his beer and didn't see the brunette in the corner trying to catch his eye.

Shalimar looked in the mirror and just looked. For the past five months she had been badgering Brennan about taking her out and now that he did, she would rather be home with Jesse. Crazy she knows. But since Brennan has been having his little episode, she had started spending time with Jesse. She would rather have the company of another female but she ran off.
So she found herself spending time with Jesse at the malls and movies and in the labs and computer area. She had forgotten how much fun he could be, considering he liked to be inside instead of jumping off an airplane. But Brennan is boyfriend her boyfriend and he should start acting like one; there was nothing he could have done.
But the more she thought about she started to remember bits and pieces of conversations that taken place between Brennan and Jesse. They had always a little bickering between but lately it seemed like Jesse was accusing Bren for Emma's disappearance. ".....She wouldn't have left if you hadn't been insensitive towards her." Jesse said coldly. "What makes you think that I was insensitive towards her?" Brennan demanded back hotly. "All you had to do is look at her face that day. You had no intention of telling her what was going on did you?" The last part was laced with anger and hate at Bren.
Shalimar shook her head. That conversation was from a few weeks ago. Brennan had found Jess in her room again. Shal wandered if the day he was talking about was they day they became a couple. She never really asked Brennan about the time he and Em spent together. She remembered a few times they came back all rumpled but Emma said they had gone to the park or to a club. Emma always had a flush to her cheeks and Brennan looked more relaxed. Suddenly the bottom of her stomach seemed to drop out. She knew the answer.
How could she have been so stupid? She always smelt Brennan on Emma and visa versa. Then the last couple of weeks Emma's sent seemed to change. She was pregnant. Shalimar's grip on the sink became so much that she broke it off the wall. A small 'oops' could be heard from her before her anger came back and went for Brennan.
^^^^^^
Brennan was on his fourth drink and wandered if Shalimar was going to stay in there forever. If she wanted to look in a mirror they could have stayed at home, for christ sakes. All of sudden the crowed seemed to sense a predator in the air because they parted like the red sea and the blond feral stopped in front of electrically charged man. "You got her pregnant" It was more of a statement than a question.
Brennan looked up, eyes slightly glassy. "Who?" She looked at him in anger and hurt. "Emma. You got Emma pregnant." Hand on her hips she waited for him to confirm her answer. Brennan shook his head. "No, she's not. She told somebody if she was. And what makes you think I did it." This had come out of now where and his mind was alittle fuzzy at the moment.
She turned around and grabbed both their coats and pulled him by his T- shirt to the doors of the club. "Where are we going?"
"Back to Sanctuary. Jesse knows. He knows everything." As they reached the pavement, Shalimar shoved him out and he almost tripped but grappled onto the parking meter. He let out a soft 'oomph' when he caught his jacket that Shal threw at him.
^^^^^
Jesse let out a brilliant smile as he hit gold. In the back of her closet there was small shoebox that held a few letters and pictures. And an address someone named Livia lived Louisiana. He stuck the paper in his pocket.
