Summery: I'm not putting one because I never write what I say.
Disclaimer: I only own Livia and the kids and anybody else that doesn't belong to Tribune and other people who I can't remember.
Note: And please excuse any spelling mistakes. We had upgraded our computer or something like that and it came back without Microsoft Word (word doc.) which means no Spell Check, So I'm doing this by hand with dictionary. I hate dictionaries, so many words that start to jumble up.
And I'm sorry about the delay. And I'm writting another B/E fic but I'm not posting that one until I finish it, so except it in about five years. ;- P
*** Emma and Livia sat in the doctors waiting room, Emma reading a book that she had bought a few weeks ago and Livia was tapping her foot in annoyance. She wasn't annoyed with the doc but the waiting, she hated waiting.
"Would you stop?" Emma said in a exsaperated voice and layed a hand down on Livia's knee. " I can feel you annoyance and its making me annoyed."
Livia looked up, confused look on her face. "You can feel? How can you feel annoyance?" She looked over to her cousin. Emma quickly looked back into her book when she realized her slip and luckily for her the doctor called her name.
Emma braced herself and heaved up from the chair and followed the doc and could feel the confusing emtions emminating form Livia.
"Hi Emma. How're you feeling?" Dr. Zimmer ask as he settled her down. She looked up and gave him a smile that reached her eyes. "I'm fine, but they're active."
He looked up startled. "They? Did you get an impression of a they?" He asked quitely. She nodded her head.
" We think Emma's gonna have twins." Livia said from the back. Dr. Zimmer looked at Emma's stomach and nodded his head in agreement. " You do seem to big for someone carrying just one." He took out the clear gel that she had come to know and laid back as he lifted her shirt and spread it over her stomach and turned on the machine.

Jesse rented a car and drove around for what felt like hours but was only twenty mintues and he was already lost. 'I should have stayed on foot. NO chance of getting lost then.' He thought tiredly. How was it that he had walked nearly all over the French Quater and didn't feel the least bit tired but when he drove around for ten minute he felt like he was ready to sleep for a week?
Finally after the last wrong turn he tried his best and headed back to his hotel. He'd take a cab, no matter the cost. He looked around and steard the car around making sure not to run down any body who happened to cross the streets.
After fifteen mintues he gave up and stopped at a Cafe Du Monde and decided that caffine was just what he needed.
***
Livia helped Emma from the car as they parked in front of their favorite place. Emma watched as Livia reached across the passenger seat and grabbed both of thier purses and felt a stab of envy that Livia could do that and she couldn't even see her feet.
Livia stood next to Emma and linked her arm through Emma's and headed into the cafe. "Do you really think that you're going to have twins?" Livia questioned when they grabbed the table near the window they always sat in.
Emma gave a sigh and put her elbows on the table and rested her chin in her hands. "I don't know. Either the doctor gave me the conception date or I am having twins and their hearts are in sync and that the body we see is hiding the other body." She balled her fist up and rubbed her eye. "Either way I wish I knew for certain."
And she really did. The sonagram showed on child and one heart beat but she felt two heart beats and she felt two lifes in her. It was giving her a headache. Her thoughts were interrupted when Livia set her decaf coffee in front of her. " I can't wait till I can go back to caffinated drinks." She said with a sigh as she took a sip.
***
Jesse had gone to the restroom first before he decided to start on his coffee. While he was in there he couldn't help the helpless feeling that came over him. What if he never found Emma or the baby? He missed her, he missed the sister that she had become to him. And he knew Shal missed her, she had never had a someone she thought of as family without some mesure of pain. And she was like the daughter that Adam never had but somehow aquired when she was on the run from the GSA.
He washed his hand and splashed water on his face, he went to reach for towles only to realize that they were the hot air dryers. He gave an aggrivated sound and went into one of the stalls and grabbed a bunch of T.P. and dried his face and hands. Only to spend the next minute picking off pieces that decided he was a good place to stay.
After making sure that there wasn't any on his hands, face or shoes he made his way back into the Cafe only to come up short.
There sitting in a table by the window was someone who look excatly like Emma or it was her. He then heard her laugh at something that the girl next to her said and with a start realized that it was the girl in the picture that he had.
"Emma?" He found his voice to be unually loud in the nearly deserted cafe. He watched as her back stiffened and she slowly turned around in her seat, blue eyes impossibly wider than they already were.
***
Emma had been listing to one of Livia's tales from when she was growing up when she heard a familiar voice call out her name. Livia stopped mid sentence and Emma felt her eyes grow big and she felt herself stiffen as she turned around to look at the owner of the voice.
"Jesse?" She said slowly standing up from the table, her body getting ready to run should the others be here as well. Not that she could get anywhere she thought half in annoyance and half in fondness of her baby or babies.
He took a step forward and Emma quickly decided to scan for the other. "They're not here. The others." He had guessed what she was doing when her eyes seemed to go vacant.
She gave him a small smile. " What are you doing here?" she asked as he pulled up his chair, which happened to be right next to them, and sat near her. He then impulsively reached arcoss and gave her a hug.
And they talked about everything from the moment she left until a few mintues before meeting again, they talked for an hour. He telling his side, she telling her's for nearly an hour and would have continued but Livia had to pick up her kids. And they invited him to the house as he followed in his rental.

Back at Sanctuary
For the first time in months Brennan was able to breath easier. He had Shalimar had come to an uneasy agreement and were now talking to each other without the feeling that Shal was gonna kill him and Adam was actually anwsering his questions with descriptions. They were not singled answered anymore.
The only thing that blocked out the sunshine was the absence of Emma. He wasn't that worried about Jesse, unlike Adam he believed that Jesse could take care of himself even if Brennan didn't always show it. After all Jesse was the brother he never had and he didn't want to lose what family he gianed in such a short time.
But he missed Emma more than he thought possible. He knew he was falling in love with her, hence his out of the blue attraction to Shalimar. He had a stedy girlfriend before and it ended badly. She had crushed his heart and now he himself had crushed his own heart and that of a girl he loved.
It was after Caleb when he realized that he loved her. And it had scared the hell out of him. He had gotten used to being on his own and then he meet this girl with baby blue eyes and a dolls face and a soft voice and he was under far faster than he would have liked.
He gave a sigh and threw on a shirt and slipped his feet into his flip flops and made his way down to the kitchen for something to drink. Truth was he didn't realize what he was doing until reality hit like a mac truck as he stood in his new room and a brand new ring on his finger with a muddled recollection of how it got there.
And she was standing next to him, the same amazed look on her face that must be on her own. She had tried to apologize to him when they were checking out her room about the trouble she had got him in. He had brushed it off, saying it was nothing and that he was glad to help her out.
It was only a three months later that he and Emma began their 'realtionship'. Sometimes he regretted. Sometimes because he hurt her and he had used her. But not the other times because if she came back an allowed him to in some way a part of her life, he was going to be a father. He didn't care is she allowed him to be known as the baby's uncle, he wanted to be part of their lifes.
He opened the fridge and as many times before he came face to face with a container of Emma's raseberry tea that she loved drinking. No body had touched it since she left. He remebered kissing her and tasting the lingering tast of the tea. Before he knew what he was doing he had grabbed a glass and was drinking down an entire glass in a few big gulps.
He hoped that Emma came home soon. And Jesse, Shal was being snippy and Jesse was the only one who seemed to keep her in control. He wiped the his mouth with the back of his hand and let out a loud burp before placing the glass in the sink.
***
Shalimar had been in her room all day waiting for a call from Jesse. She really needed to talk to him. She wanted to know if the kiss, well almost kiss, that they shared was the begining of something more was just a fluke. And she really missed him. She had only talked to him a few times on his cell and to her it wasn't enough and it made her snippy. But only at the little things like, someone not doing the dishes or not picking up after themselves.
She got up from her bed and put on her tiger striped silk robe that was a gift from Jess and reached for the door but as an after thought she reached for her cell and carried it with her on her way to Emma's room. Jesse had done an excellent job of cleaning it and getting it to its almost orginal state.
She reached out a hand to touch the budda that she had in her room when she jumped at the sound of her cell phone ringing. "Jesse?" She asked hopefully. "Who else?" and she gave a small laugh.
"Did you find anything? Her?" she asked hesitently. " I found her, Shal." She felt her breath leave in one long exhale. "Can I..." He cut her off. "You can tell the others that I found her but not where and tell them I don't know if I'll be able to convince her to come back."
The only thing that she could get out was a disbelieving "Oh My God!" in a whisper. "Yeah, I know. Listen I gotta go, I call you later. Bye." He had hung up before she could tell him bye.
On her way back to her room she ran into Brennan. She must have looked like she was in shock because he had asked her if she was okay. The only thing she could get out was "Jesse found her." She watched as his jaw dropped open and he stood still like a statue.
