"Is Emma going to be okay?" Shalimar asked quietly as she stood next to Emma in the med-lab; Jesse and Brennan were with her.
It had been a couple of hours and Emma still hadn't woken up yet. The other three were getting worried.
"She should be," Adam smiled at them.
"Are you sure?" Jesse looked up at him.
"Yes Jesse, I'm sure. Shal, could you go and find James and Ororo and tell them to come here?"
She nodded and went.
"Brennan, can you go and find Kurt and Kitty and tell them to come here too?"
Brennan looked at Emma and then turned and left.
"What can I do?" Jesse looked up.
Adam picked him up and sat him next to Emma.
"You, can keep and eye on Emma for me."
A while later the children came back.
"Now, I have the cure to turn you back into how old you were before. It's going to have to be and injection okay?"
They all nodded.
"Good," he smiled, "Shal, you're first."
"Does that mean I'll be big first?"
"Yes."
"Yey!" she smiled excitedly.
Adam picked up one of the syringes and Shalimar came over. He injected it into her arm and then took the syringe out.
"Okay?"
She nodded. Adam then went and did the rest of the children in the order they'd turned into children. Once he'd finished they all looked at him.
"Now what?" Kitty asked.
"Now, we wait. You can go and play it you want."
They all turned and left apart from Jesse.
"What do you want?" Adam asked the boy.
"Can I stay with Em?"
"Yes," Adam smiled at him.
Adam turned back to his work and Jesse sat looking at Emma.

Half an hour later Emma began to wake up. She looked around and saw Jesse was asleep next to her. Adam walked in and smiled.
"How you feeling?"
"Tired," she whispered, "can I go to my room?"
"Yes."
Adam picked her up and took her to her room. He tucked her in and turned to leave. He smiled when he saw Jesse standing there with Shalimar and Brennan.
"She's just tired," Adam told them, closing the door, "she'll be fine."
They turned to walk away. Shalimar cried out, clutching her head. She closed her eyes and collapsed. Adam picked her up and ran to the med-lab. Brennan and Jesse ran after him. Once in the med-lab Adam put her on the chair and she immediately grew and so did her clothes. Adam started the scan and then looked at the results; she was back to normal again. He picked up and blanket and laid it over her.
"Is she alright?" Brennan asked quietly.
"Yes," Adam smiled, "she'll be fine."
Shalimar slowly started to open her eyes and looked around.
"Adam?" she muttered.
"It's alright Shalimar. Can you remember anything?"
She slowly shook her head.
"Well, you, Emma, Brennan, Jesse, Kurt, Kitty, Ororo and James turned into children," Adam explained, "you're the first to turn back."
She slowly began to sit up with Adam's help. She looked down at the two boys looking up at her.
"Brennan? Jesse?" she asked slowly.
"Hello," Jesse smiled.
"Hi," Shalimar smiled back.
"How'd you fell Shal?"
"Slightly tired."
"That's okay," Adam smiled, "just take it easy."
"So I can go?"
"Yes."
Shalimar slowly stood up and the two boys looked at her.
"Can you play with me?" Brennan asked.
"Yes," Shalimar took his hand and looked at Jesse, "you wanna play too?"
He shook her head. "I'm going to see Em."
Jesse turned and left and Shalimar walked out with Brennan.
