Shalimar woke up in the middle of the night and looked around she had been in the lab for a month recovering from all she had been through, she climbed off the bio bed and snuck out of the lab

Lexa was asleep but woke up. She put on one of Jesse's shirt and got up, walking out the door. She was thirsty yet again

For the past two weeks, she had been getting waves of sickness and did not know why. She didn't get checked out just waving it off as a little bug.

Shalimar was in the kitchen when she heard someone coming

Lexa blinked sleepiness out of her eyes. She saw the light in the kitched and furrowed her eyebrows together.

Shalimar was drinking some juice she didn't care she was gonna get caught

"There better be more in there because I'm really thirsty Shal," Lexa said.

shal poured lexa a glass handing it to her

Lexa took it and drank it. "Thanks. Glad to see you're up. How you feeling??"

Shalimar looked at lexa " I feel great I just wish Adam and brennan would lay off me and let me do things

Lexa chuckled. "You know Brennan never left your side. He said a lot of things that were...very nice."

Shalimar sat down and looked at lexa "he did?

"Mhmm," Lexa nodded sitting across from her. "How much do you care about him??"

Shalimar sighed " a lot

sometimes I just think about him for no reason

"He loves you, you know."

Shalimar looked at lexa " is he really the guy for me? im so scared lex

"Does Jesse look like my type??" Lexa contradicted

Shalimar smiled "no but I can see he will do anything for u

"There you go my point is made," Lexa grinned. "Brennan would do the same for you and said he would pretty much only beat around the bush about it."

shal " what if he finds someone else better then me

Lexa snorted. "Let me know if he does. Shal I don't know if you'll find someone better than Brennan besides mine," she winked. "He would risk and give his life for you I saw that. When you were in pain and then died...he literally cried. He didn't give up on you one bit."

Shalimar looked at lexa " so I should give it a chance?

"I'd go for it. If you don't you'll always wonder what could have been. Trust me those what if questions are something that will bite you in the ass if you don't go for something."

Shalimar got up and went over to lexa and hugged her " what would I do without u lexa"

Lexa hugged her back. "Probably do just fine," she joked. "Now go for him girl." She drank the rest of her juice then poured some more.

You ok u seem different?

Lexa cocked her head. "I do??' She felt differed at times yeah but didn't think she acted different

shal " yeah I can't explain it

"I feel fine," Lexa replied, confused. "Maybe it's being with Jesse and have Alex around."

shal " u do seem happy

Lexa nodded. "I am....very....now you go see Lover Boy and tell him how you feel or whatever." She laughed at Shalimar and winked. "I think you'll find him to be very...affectionate with you."

shalimar smiled and walked out ,heading to brennans room

she didnt bother to knock as she went in and seen him sprawled out on the bed asleep. she walked over and sat down on the side and watched him for a few minutes then suddenly she leaned down and kissed him once then again with more passion

Brennan jerked awake, completely taken by surprise by Shalimar's kiss

"Shal what?? You shouldnt be out of bed."

shalimar put her finger on his mouth and straddled him

He was a little confused by her behavior but then again didnt mind it at all.

He reached up and played with her hair then brushed her face with his fingers

"What's that??" He asked quietly.

shalimar put her hands on brennans chest and leaned down " im in love with you mulwray

Brennan said nothing at first then looked into her soft brown eyes. "I've always loved you Shalimar."

shalimar smiled and kissed him " i want to be yours

"You are mine," he whispered and kissed her back gently

Brennan held her close and kissed her, burying his face in her sweet golden mane

shalimar "i love u always" she said as she fell asleep

"good" she said very faintly

He pulled the blankets over them both and fell asleep, hugging her

Lexa woke up after only sleeping a little over seven hours. She walked out of the room and headed to the kitchen to get something to eat. She made some bacon and eggs and pured herself some coffee.

alexis woke up and stumbled out of her room and went to jesse's and jumped on him

jesse yelled and jumped up "damn alexis u shouldnt do that u scared me"

alexis "its fun"

jesse " almost giving me a heartattack is fun?"

he looked at the time and got up

Lexa wolfed it all down and put the dishes away. She headed down the stairs back to Jesse's room. "Morning sunshine," she said brightly.

jesse looked over at lexa "hey lex"

She kissed him and smiled. "Morning did Alex you wake Jesse up for me??"

alexis " yes

she smiled and jesse gave her a look

"Thanks dear. Oh there's bacon and eggs on the stove and juice in the fridge

alexis looked at lexa " are you sure you said that yesterday and it wasnt true

jesse laughed

"There is I made a lot," Lexa stuck her tongue out playfully at her and winked at her.

jesse "so alexis dont u go to school?"

alexis " i dont go to school

"Well I think it's time that she started this year. I think registration is next week," Lexa smiled.

alexis " i dont need school im smart enough

alexis u should go it will be fun

" no it wont" alexis said

"Can you multiply and do algebra and name the 16th president," Lexa tested.

alexis looked at lexa for a moment and shook her head " i dont want to go

"Come on Alex you have to go and you might like it. It's a requirement you go anyways."

alexis " i dont want to" she ran off

"Oh well you gotta anyways," Lexa smirked.

"So what's in store for today??"

"well i get to do shals check up but i doubt she will walk into the lab

Lexa laughed. "You can get Brennan to persuade her she'll listen to him I bet."

jesse sighed " yeah he can get her to do anything"

"Well they love each other so of course he can," Lexa chuckled

jesse looked at lexa " you have been eating alot more lately lex

"I have??" Lexa looked at him funny.

yeah more then shalimar and brennan eat

jesse walked over to her "maybe i should scan u"

Lexa gaped at him. "You insulting me there hun?? And I'm fine I'm not sick"

jesse "no of course now honey im just concerned, u were sick a few times last night and the night before

"It's just a bug. It's gone now dont worry," Lexa said her arms around his neck, forehead resting aginst his.

jesse kissed her nose " i just dont want anything to happen to u

"Thanks love, I promise Im fine," Lexa said and nuzzled him

jesse " just one scan please,ill have shal do it

Lexa sighed. "Okay, okay one scan but I doing this for you."

jesse kissed her "thank u"

shalimar started to wake up when she heard jesse's vioce over her ring

Brennan heard the voice to and stirred.

jesse looked at lexa as he talked over his ring "shal get into the lab please dont make me come and drag u"

"Oh now that is the way to get a girl to go to the lab with you Jess," Lexa snorted.

jesse smirked at lexa " shal please come to the lab i also need your help

shal mummbled something not so nice and rolled over

"did she say what i think she said?"

"I'm not going to even ask," Lexa raised an eyebrow with a small smile.

jesse sighed "hey bren your girl needs a check up

: "Huh," Brennan said sleppily, his arm around Shalimar.

shal needs to come and be checked to see how she is progressing

Mmm okay okay I'll talk to her," Brennan mumbled. He shook Shalimar lightly. "Hey Shal you need to go to the lab."

shalimar groaned and shook her head "no too sleepy

"Come on," he said and began to kiss her again. "If you go now when you come back we can have a litte fun." He gave her a sly look.

shal yawned and kissed him " you will do anything to get a girl to do what you want" she smirked

"Only you," he replied.

she rolled over ontop of him and kissed him again "ok ill go for u"

"I'll be waiting," he smiled and ran his index finger down her stomach

shal got up before she changed her mind and grabbed brennans shirt and put it on before she left his room and headed to the lab

Lexa went in and sat on one of the beds, waiting.

jesse had shal sit in the chair as he ran the scan " well shal u need to eat more other then that u seem to be getting back to yourself

shal looked at him "yeah if thats so then when do i get to go back to work

jesse " i dont know that ill have to talk to bren about

"brennan ?

jesse nodded" hed kill me if i sent you out if you werent ready

"Dont go there Jess cause then this would turn into a whole big issue," Lexa warned.

"He kill you, I kill him, Shal kills me whole big cycle." she teased.

jesse was about to say something else but lexa spoke up " we can discus it later shal

shal swore under her breath

jesse sighed " i do need a favor

"Ooo temper temper there Shal dear," Lexa said.

shalimar gave lexa a look

Lexa gave her one right back.

shalimar stop ok i need you to scan lexa for me i promised her you would

shal sighed and jumped off the chair

"I dont know why I even need one," Lexa grumbled.

"only fair shal had one now u have one" he walked out to talk to brennan

shalimar went to the controls

Lexa grumbled and sat in the chair. "Worry wart."

shal scanned lexa and waited for the results

jesse knocked on brennans door

jesse "hey bren i need to talk to u its about shal

"Yeah sure come in Jess," Brennan yawned.

jesse walked in and looked at brennan " boy u must had had some night u look beat

"Yeah I did," Brennan smiled putting his hands behind his head, the covers on him.

jesse sat down " shal wants to be on missions again but im still worried about her"

"Why??" She seems fine and is acting fine too," Brennan said. He knew she was because of last night

jesse " bren she lost weight and hasnt been putting much on

jesse " bren she lost weight and hasnt been putting much on

in the dojo she missed her target 3 times and shal never missed one in her life

"Dont worry she'll eat more and just needs to get back into the game. She was really sick Jess. Let her train and I'll watch her galdly."

jesse laughed " brennan she wont get any work done if u are there u cant keep your hands off eachother he teased

Brennan chuckled. "I can say the same for you and Lexa. You two are attatched especially past week or so."

" im in love with her "

"And I'm in love with Shal so we're even bro," Brennan smirked.

jesse left brennans room

shalimar looked at the screen in shock

Brennan closed his eyes, smiling. "Later Jess."

Lexa turned her head to look at Shalimar. "What?? You look like you've seen a ghost."

shal" i..." she looked at lexa

"What??" Lexa sat up and looked at her.

shal " your pregnant

Lexa laid back in the chair. "What?? I'm...."

Lexa's mind reeled.

shal came over to lexa and sat down " you are gonna have a baby"

Her first pregnancy had been forced but now she was pregnant by choice in a way. "I...I know just...."

shalimar took lexas hand " it will be ok"

Lexa tried to speak but nothing came out at first. "Dont tell Jesse yet. I wanna get it together first...let...let it sink in a little."

" i wont i promise" she hugged lexa and left her alone to think

"Thanks Shal," Lexa said quietly.

SHe hugged her back

she smiled " i'm gonna go if u need me call"

Lexa laughed. "Go see your lover boy and have fun. I'll be fine thanks."

shal smiled and walked out

shalimar walked back into brennans room and shut the door

Brennan sat up. "Took you long enough thought you were never coming back," he teased.

shal " i almost wasnt i seen this hot guy " she started as she walked near him " he wanted me to go with him

he was almost hard to resist

Brennan gave a hurt look that was fake. He could hear the tease in her voice. "Oh really and who was that??"

"well as a matter of fact his name was brennan too" she went right next to his bed

"And what did this...Brennan look like??" He asked.

well he had brown hair brown eyes and some heavenly muscles

"Hmm and why did you not go with him??" He smiled mischeviously.

shalimar straddled brennan " he was very tempting but i had someone waiting for me"

Brennan chuckled softly. "Well I'm glad you came back."

Brennan chuckled softly. "Well I'm glad you came back."

shalimar styarted to kiss brennan "me to" she moaned against him

Brennan kissed her back and put his hand on her hips pressing her closer to him

shalimar started to whisper things in his ear

Brennan laughed. "Arent we just a little naughty?"

shalimar bit him lightly " i can be real naughty

"Oh really??" Brennan looked at her seductively. "I bet you cant." He was teasing her.

shalimar growled seductively and started to kiss brennan hungerly

Brennan returned it, getting into it then loosing himself in the one he desired the most.

alexis was walking passed brennans door when she heard moaning and groaning and went running "mommy!!!!!

Lexa was still in the lab. She had gotten off the chair too look at the results which read the same thing over and over again no matter how many time she blinked to try and make it go away. It wasnt that she didnt want this child it was just a big change. She was glad this wasnt a forced one just the thought of being with child again scared her just a little. She sighed and leaned against the consol of the computer when she heard Alexis.

She hurried out of the lab. "What is it sweetheart??"

alexis ran over to her " i heard nioses

alexis pointed to one of the bedrooms

Lexa laughed. "Oh dont worry about that honey. It's nothing importatn. Did you need something else??"

alexis " i need help with my shoe

Lexa smiled. "Okay let's go get your shoe on." She took ALexis' hand and led her back to the room.

alexis looked at lexa " i called u mommy is that ok?

"Of course baby," Lexa replied with a little encouragement in her voice.

She was a little surprised she had acutally answered to the name "mommy" Well better get used it it Lex soon you're gonna have two. Lexa said to herself

alexis " i love you

Lexa's heart skipped a beat. "I love you two baby no matter what."

alexis looked at lexa as if she were gonna ask her something but she changed her mind

Lexa opened the door. "Okay up on the bed and let's get this shoe on."

she hopped on the bed

"Okay shoe on and then we are going to clean this lovely mess up," Lexa said and put her shoe on, buckling it.

alexis " its not that bad i like it this way

:"Alex you can barely walk in here."

alexis "yes keeps bad people away

"You dont have to worry about bad people coming in here or in the house at all."

: i have bad dreams still

"Well you dont have to worry about anyone coming in here except me, Jesse, Brennan, or Shalimar. No one but us know we live here and it has to stay that way."

alexis looked at her "ill clean my room"

"Good girl. I'll help and then I'll pop in a movie for you. Do you think maybe soft music might help you not have nightmares??" She suggested.

alexis jumped off the bed "i dont know

"We'll try it tonight see how it goes." She began to pick up clothes and put them in the hamper. "You get your toys so you can put them where you want but that means away and not on the floor."

alexis put her toys in the toybox

Lexa left and put the hamper in the laundry room then went back to her room which was almost clean

alexis was bored so she thought she would toss her toys across the room to the box

Lexa went watched her toss her toys. "Dont brek anything. So what do you wanna watch later??"

alexis put the rest away " i want to watch emperers new groove

"Okay well let's go put it on the big screen then let's see if Jess will watch it with us."

alexis "where is he

"I'll put the movie in then go find him." Lexa put the DVD in and pressed play when the menu came up. "I'll be right back." She walked away and when Alexis couldnt see her she leaned against the wall and slid down to the floor. Her left hand lay on her stomach as she winced in pain and felt sick.

alexis felt funny and could feel pain but not her own she started to send calming images

Lexa began to relax for some reason. The pain was there but it began to fade and the sickness lessed. Her breathing became more normal.

alexis sat down on the couch

Lexa got up and went to find Jesse, having no idea where he went.

he was on the phone in adams office

Lexa went to her room then Jesses but didnt find him. She heard talking in Adams office and knocked on the door.

jesse "come in

"On the phone with your girlfriend??" She teased.

jesse hung up "always" he winked

"Nothing just wanted to see if you wanted to watch a movie with me and Alex unless you're busy." Lexa shrugged.

jesse got up " im never too busy for u or alex

Lexa smiled. "We're watching the Emperor's New Groove. The llama movie." Personally Lexa loved that movie it was just plain funny.

jesse laughed " u and alexis love that movie"

Lexa pouted like a child, doing it just for grins. "So, its cute."

jesse hugged her and followed her into the living room

: alexis looked very bored

rommangel: She hugged him back. "Bored already??" Lexa asked sitting on the couch next to her.

alexis " yeah

"What do you wanna do then??"

watch this movie she smiled

jesse turned it on and sat down

he started to say everything before the cartoon character did it drove alexis nuts

Lexa got a little confused then shrugged it off. "And you say I love this movie," Lexa laughed. "Come on you're driving her nuts."

jesse laughed

Lexa said the lines in her head. She loved the llama. "Oh no now I feel so bad, bad llama," was one of her favorite lines.

alexis glared at jesse "damn it dad knock it off"

jesse looked at her in shock

"Alex!!" Lexa turned to her in shock. "Dont ever use that word damn it again!!"

alexis put her head down " sorry"

Lexa cupped her chin gently. "It's okay hun just dont say it again okay??"

alexis "yes mommy

"Good girl." She kissed her on her head then let go, laying back on Jesse.

jesse hugged lexa and watched alexis lay on the other end of the couch "did u hear her"

"Yeah I did. Called you dad and me mommy twice today." She put her arms over his that were laying on her stomach.

jesse " wow she called me dad

Lexa smiled contently. She still couldnt tell him her condition yet, she just couldnt. When she was more comfortable and used to it she'd tell him

jesse laid his head back and closed his eyes

Lexa watched the movie, only half paying attention to it. Close to the end she fell asleep.

shalimar came out of brennans room and noticed that jesse held onto lexa as they slept she stood in the door watching them,

Brennan had boxers on and was drying of his wet hair. He went over to Shalimar and wrapped his arms around her. "What you watchin'?"

shal "them"

"The little love birds," he teased

shal sighed " they are a family all 3 of them

shal smiled "i know "

she then turned around to face brennan " i want us to have a family some day

"We will Shal, we will," Brennan reassured her.

shalimar looked serious "i dont know if i could see u as a dad u are just too much of a kid

Brennan looked hurt. "Aww come on Shal I can be serious. What's wrong with being a kid at times??"

shalimar kissed him " i didnt mean it in a bad way baby"

"I hope not," Brennan kissed her back. "That was just plain mean. I think you need to be punished."

shalimar looked at him shocked "punished? how?

"By making some lunch," he smirked

shal hit him " i dont cook"

"Owww," he hissed. "Fine let's see what else I can make you do," he teased and began to think.

shalimar rolled her eyes and walked away

shal " i heard that

"I know you did Kitten," he grinned.

shalimar headed to the garage

Brennan left her alone and went to find food. He was a very hungry elemental.

shalimar hopped on her bike after deciding she drove off
