"What?? What did you get??" Lexa asked drinking some white grape juice.
Adam moved in closer. "Maybe you and I should speak in private alone."
"Okay," Lexa said slowly.
Adam looked at Alexis and then walked down the stairs
Lexa followed. "I'll be back you just enjoy you're ice cream."
Alexis nodded. "Okay," she put the spoon in her mouth
"Adam what is so…secretive??"
Adam turned around "Alexis isn't your brothers."
"Oookay then who's??" Lexa asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I ran the DNA and I got a 99 match."
Lexa didnt follow. "Details please."
Adam sighed. " The tests revealed that you are her mother."
Lexa's jaw dropped. "What?? But I...I...I'll be right back I think." Lexa stumbled to her room, slamming into her door then opened and closed it behind her.
Adam watched her go and walked in to check on Alexis.
Lexa splashed water on her face and tried to breath. She left her bathroom and slumped on the floor, leaning against her bed. She didn't remember being pregnant at all it just didn't make sense.
Alexis ate her ice cream the let Adam lead her in the Rec. room and put some cartoons on for her so Lexa could think.
He then went to check on Shalimar who was not waking up since her seizure.
Jesse was ready to inject Shalimar with the antidote. "Adam it's ready."
Adam put it in Shalimar's IV and looked at the guys. "Now the hard part waiting."
Brennan took Shalimar's hand and held it. "She'll be just fine."
Adam walked off and led Jesse away. "I noticed how close you and Lexa have gotten and I think she could use u right now."
Jesse looked at Adam saying nothing and walked out heading to Lexa's room. He knocked, "Lexa honey?"
"Come in," Lexa said distantly. She was trying to let it all sink in but things kept clashing.
Jesse walked in and shut the door behind him. "Hey what's wrong?"
"I...Adam....ummm," She stammered. Where the hell to begin?? "Adam ran a DAN test cause I asked him to and....Alexis isn't Leo's kid....she's....she's mine."
Jesse almost fell when he heard the news. "Yours?" How?? When?? With who?"
"I don't remember anything. I wasn't with anyone," Lexa said in a shaky voice.
Jesse moved to sit with her
"Jess....I cant remember being pregnant, I don't remember sleeping with anyone. How can she be mine?? Who did this to me to where I can't remember anything??" Lexa had tears coming down her face.
Jesse wrapped his arms around her " i don't know Lexa but ill help u find out i promise u"
Lexa sank into his arms crying
Jesse kissed her on the head " shhhh its ok"
Jesse " if your brother had her wouldnt he have known some info?
"I don't know...I cant ask really since he's gone," Lexa whispered in a shaky voice
"I know but think Lexa maybe there was a place you two had when you were kids a place to keep secret things or letters for each other to find?"
"No he never got the chance when he was in Eckhart's facilities and I know before that nothing happened," Lexa answered.
Jesse sighed. "I don't know Lex I'm sure it will come back to you"
"I hope so Jess. I want to know how this happened," Lexa said in mild anger.
"I know u do." He looked Lexa into her sparkling blue eyes. "What are u going to do about Alexis?"
"I want to keep her here. I don't know where else to take her anyways."
Jesse smiled. "Well she seems to be a great little girl i look forward to get to know her"
Lexa smiled. "Me too." She got up and crawled onto the bed. "Come here."
Jesse crawled onto the bed with Lexa and gave a smirk. " Oh so you trying to get me in bed huh?"
Lexa smirked. "Maybe." She lied down. "Stay with me please??"
Jesse gathered Lexa in his arms and laid with her "Until you're sick of me."
"Well you'll be here a long time Love," she smiled warmly and closed her eyes as she lied on his chest.
Jesse kissed her on her head. "Sleep ill be here when u wake up"
Lexa fell asleep instantly. She began to dream and they weren't extremely pleasant ones either.
Lexa heard shouting and ran to see where it was coming from. She ended up in a lab to see...herself?!?! She was strapped down with pants on and a her shirt pulled part of the way up. A doctor had a needle and went to Lexa, used a cotton ball to clean a spot on Lexa's lower abdomen then stuck her with a needle. "NOOOO!!!" Lexa screamed in both pain as well as dread
Then things began to spin and then slowed down. Lexa again saw herself only she had gained a good thirty pounds or so from being with child. She heard screaming and felt a sudden sharp pain.
Lexa gasped and bolted awake, her hand on her stomach. She was breathing hard, panting.
Jesse woke up and looked at Lexa. "Lex? What's wrong?"
"I....I was dreaming and it was so real. I remember what happened....how...how I ended up with Alexis well parts of it anyways."
Lexa turned to look at him, tears welling up in her now glassy blue eyes. "Jess they forced it all on me...they...violated me. They forced me to become pregnant."
Jesse sat up and wrapped Lexa in his arms. "Whoever did this Lexa they will pay if they haven't already. Why did they want you pregnant?"
"I'm not sure. They never told me anything. Most of the time I think I was under the control of that damn implant because most of the pregnancy is just a big blank. Them sticking me with the needle and the labor is pretty clear but...that's it," Lexa said in a choked voice, laying her head against Jesse, curled up in his arms.
Jesse laid his head against hers. "What do you want to do about it?"
"Nothing...I don't think I want to remember all that," Lexa whispered.
Jesse sighed. "Ok, we can move on and figure out things for Alexis."
"Should we keep her here or put her with someone??" She whispered, letting a few tears roll down her face.
"Whatever will be the best thing for her Lexa."
"So not helpful," Lexa smirked and tilted her head up, kissing him.
Jesse smiled. "Well she's a good kid I can tell and she seemed to have been through a lot. She's your daughter Lexa how does that make you feel?"
"I don't know it's still kinda sinking in," Lexa frowned.
Jesse sighed loudly. "When its time, you have to decide what you want done with her."
"You sound like a psychologist you know that," Lexa laughed.
Jesse laughed. "Well don't tell anyone I don't want my secret out.
Lexa giggled. "I'll tell everyone in the whole wide world," she said sarcastically.
Jesse acted hurt. " Oh break a boys heart."
"Mmmhhmm," Lexa raised an eyebrow. "I can tell it's oh so broken."
Jesse nodded and was about to kiss her when he heard Brennan yelling at Adam
"Do something Adam she cant breath!!!!"
Alexis was outside the lab watching and scared.
Lexa sat up and jumped off the bed, running out the door to the lab. "What the hell is all the yelling about??"
Jesse came running in behind Lexa as Adam worked on getting Shalimar's airway clear
"Oh god, Adam what's wrong why cant she breath??" Jesse yepled
Adam shook his head. " I don't know"
Brennan looked at Lexa and Jesse in disbelief. " She was fine a minute ago. She was talking then.....she, she started to gasp for air." He started crying without knowing it
"Damn it!!" Lexa yelled.
"Brennan calm down," Jesse said
Brennan pushed stuff off a counter out of anger.
Jesse yelled. " Brennan calm down now!!"
"Brennan stop!! That isn't helping!!" Lexa yelled.
Brennan ignored them and sat down staring at Shalimar. "Don't leave me Shalimar," he whispered.
Lexa leaned against the windows. She picked up Alexis and held her.
Alexis asked in a tiny voice, "is she gonna be ok?"
"I don't know baby, she's very sick," Lexa answered softly
Adam worked on her as long as he could then he looked up at the others. " I'm sorry but there was nothing that could have been done it was too late."
Brennan looked at Adam and shook his head. " No you have to do something she cant die!!" He yelled as he got up. "Please Adam bring her back!"
Lexa choked. "No way she cant-"
Jesse just stared at Shalimar not saying a word. There laid his friend, his sister and teammate on the bio bed, gone.
Lexa walked out with her daughter, not wanting her or herself to see Shalimar's dead body.
Jesse went to Brennan and put his arm on his shoulder as a mild comforting gesture.
Brennan automatically hugged Jesse and started to cry.
Jesse held Brennan. "She will always be with us"
Brennan sobbed. "She was my life Jess…"
Adam was about to put a sheet over Shalimar when Brennan broke away from Jesse and grabbed at Adams hand "no"
Adam understood and let Brennan have his time
Jesse just stood there wishing this was just a nightmare and he would wake up at any moment in his room
Lexa went up the stairs and put Alexis down. She slid against the wall sitting on the floor and tried not to cry.
Alexis watched Lexa closely " Are you sad?"
Lexa nodded. "Yeah she was a friend."
Alexis sat next to Lexa "its ok she will always be there"
"Yeah but it's still not the same. Don't worry I'll be fine," Lexa said distantly.
Lexa was overwhelmed by everything. It was almost too much to handle. She compartmentalized everything but one thing wouldnt stay behind a wall. She began to cry
Adam turned around to do some things he couldn't bare to see Shalimar
Brennan went to Shalimar and kissed her on her lips and brushed the hair from her face. "You can't die on me Shalimar I won't allow it. I just wont." His tears hit Shalimar cheek and slid down her face.
Brennan looked at Shalimar one last time then moved away just far enough and formed a coil and shocked her.
Jesse looked at Brennan in surprise after the second shock "Brennan stop!!!!" He went to grab Brennan and was pushed out of the way
"Brennan she's gone" Adam said firmly and grabbed Brennan on the shoulder but Brennan wanted nothing to do with him. Brennan shoved him and shocked Shalimar one last time with a stronger bolt.
Lexa turned her teary eyes to see blue bolts. "What the?? Come on let's see what is going on." She got up and ran to the lab.
"Brennan what are you doing?!?!" Lexa yelped
"Stay away Lexa!" He warned and then started to form another bolt when he heard someone gasp for air and he looked at Shalimar in shock
Lexa's jaw dropped. "Adam she's...she's alive!!"
Adam got up off the ground. "Quick someone hand me a oxygen mask."
Jesse handed it to him still in shock.
"Slow breaths Shalimar nice and easy" he said in a calm tone to her as she looked dazed and confused.
Lexa on impulse hugged Jesse and kissed him. She kept herself from hugging Shalimar who was still sick and just back form the dead.
Jesse picked up Lexa and spun her around. "I can't believe it!"
Adam looked her over, checking her eyes and vitals.
Brennan walked back and took Shalimar by the hand. " Don't you dare do that again."
"Too many shocks in one day for me," Lexa breathed.
Jesse nodded. " I know"
"Adam is she going to be okay now??" Lexa asked hanging onto Jesse still of fear she might collapse in shock and joy."
"Well she doesn't have her fever anymore and she's alive thanks to Brennan." He turned to look at them. "She will not be active for a long time she needs to heal"
Jesse laughed. "Don''t worry she won't be leaving her room for a long time."
"What are you gonna go stay and sleep in there with her??" Lexa said acting hurt but was joking.
"I would never leave you alone at night Lex, we both can bunk with her," he teased
"I think she'd be a little cramped and wouldn't want....I think I'll just stop there," Lexa smirked. "Brennan can watch her. Not that you can peel him away from her anyways."
Jesse looked over at Brennan and Shalimar. Brennan was talking to Shalimar and playing with her hair as she stared at him sleepily. "Nope."
Jesse looked back at Lexa and leaned in close to her. "Too bad no ones asleep," he said softly in Lexas ear"
Lexa looked at him in the eyes, giving him a sweet seductive smile. "They will be soon," she said very softly. If not well....then we can play later."
Jesse kissed her and made out with her a little bit then looked at the time "It's late"
Brennan let Shalimar sleep but didn't move from his spot as he watched her.
"And this little missy," Lexa addressed Alexis, "needs to go to bed."
Adam hooked Shalimar to machines and then headed out to go back to his hideout to sleep.
"She can stay in my room," Lexa said. "Then I can stay with you," she gave a small teasing smile
"Wear those pink hearted pjs of yours," he whispered to her.
Lexa snorted. "Your wish is my command. See you in say fifteen." She went over to Alexis and took her hand. "Bed time for you sweet heart."
Jesse went to his room and changed to his boxers and cleaned up
Alexis whined a little. "Bedtime?
"Yes bed time for you its late. You can stay in my room," Lexa said. She led Alexis to her room and pulled out a shirt. "Here you can use this."
Alexis took the shirt. "Okay." She really didn't want to put it on with Lexa in the room.
"You can use the bathroom to change and you can use the new toothbrush under the sink."
Alexis walked into the bathroom
Lexa got out her pjs and no she didnt have pink hearted ones. She had a black top and blue and green plaid flannel pants.
Alexis climbed up onto the sink and brushed her teeth then came out of the bathroom
"All set??" Lexa asked sweetly putting her clothes in the hamper.
Alexis climbed up on the bed and nodded. "Yeah."
"If you need anything you come knock on one of our doors or look in the lab okay??" Lexa pulled the covers from their neat position and let Alexis get in.
She would have to tell the child who her real parents were but both had had enough for one day. She put the blankets over her. "Night Alexis. I'll see you in the morning."
Alexis hugged Lexa "Night and thank you."
Lexa hugged her back. "You're welcome hun." She got up and went into the bathroom to clean up. She headed out her door, turning off the lights and closing the door quietly. She headed to Jesse's room.
Jesse lay in bed with his eyes closed
Lexa closed the door behind her and jumped on the bed, bouncing on it then whacked him with a pillow.
Jesse looked at her and hit her back "Now what was that for?" He asked. Quickly he grabbed her and pinned her down beneath him.
"Mmm cause it seemed like a fun idea," she smirked.
Jesse grinned. " Well I have a better idea."
Lexa gave him a sly look. "Oh really and what would that be??"
