Alexis looked at Lexa "Are you still sick?
Lexa gave a half smile at Alexis. "No I'm fine honey don't worry."
"Ok if you say so but I know you're lying," Alexis smirked.
Lexa raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Oh really how do you know??"
Alexis shrugged "I don't know I just know that you are lying."
Lexa narrowed her eyes in thought. "Come on I think I have an idea on how you...know as you put it....lying."
Alexis perked up. "Do you?
"Yeah," Lexa replied and picked her up, carrying her to the lab. She set her on the bio-bed. "Stay there this won't hurt I promise." She intended to scan Alexis and find out what her powers were.
Alexis shook her head. "No I don't like it in here"
"Its just a scan baby it'll take one minute. Please just stay no one will hurt you. Its just you and me."
Alexis looked at Lexa and took a breath "Ok Mommy"
"Thanks sweetie," Lexa smiled. She quickly scanned Alexis and smiled. "Yep thought so only this is a little...surprise. I didn't even know that was possible." She cocked her head to the side, reading the results with a confused look on her face.
Alexis jumped off the chair before Lexa could say anything and headed to her. "What??"
"Seems you have two powers," Lexa answered. "I've never even heard of that being possible."
Alexis looked at Lexa with innocent hazel eyes. "Daddy has two."
Lexa gave her a confused look at first. "Huh??" Then she realized what she was getting at. "Mmm not really. Its really considered one. You're both psionic and molecular which has never been recorded as possible before," Lexa shook her head.
Alexis didn't get it. "What does that mean?"
"Moleculars that can mass automatically can phase as well its like one power though for some reason its classified differently. It's really complicated." Lexa was really the wrong person to ask. Adam was better at explaining it since he was the one that created them.
"Yeah I know," she said knowing it was complicated because she didn't get it herself at all.
"You're just very special and unique," Lexa smiled and put her hand on Alexis' head, ruffling her hair.
Alexis shook her head. " No I'm not, I'm just a kid "
"Yeah you are a kid but special," her mother contradicted.
Alexis eyes her with a mock pout. "How special?"
Lexa kneeled down in front of her. "Very, very special. Don't ever doubt that whether you were a mutant or not."
Alexis looked at Lexa and smiled. "I won't"
She hugged her. "Now go play and later you have to read a book" She let her go.
Alexis pouted for real then. "A book? Why?"
"You needa learn to read. You start school Monday and yes you have to go."
"But mommy-" Alexis started to argue which Lexa quickly cut off by putting a hand up.
"No buts hun. You'll learn one way or another. Instead of me reading to you, you're going to read to me and no arguing."
"No fair." She walked off sulking. Alexis went to the computers and turned it on.
Lexa smirked in triumph...for now. Thinking about Alexis having two powers made her wonder about the child she now bore. Would it have two powers as well since its parents had different abilities??
Lexa went back into her room and sat on the bed. She gently shook Jesse.
Jesse mumbled and opened his eyes "Lex? What's wrong."
"Nothing but I just found something interesting you might wanna hear."
Jesse sat up. "What is it?"
"Alex has two powers. She's psionic and molecular."
Jesse looked at Lexa with disbelief. "She what?? Two?"
"She's telempathic and chromatic which makes me wonder what the baby will turn out to be." Her hand went to her abdomen. "Two powers hasn't been recorded before or even thought possible." She knew about Ashlocke with his instable powers and feared that for both her children…born and yet to be.
"You know what this means Lexa? We are gonna have to protect Alexis and the baby both more then ever now."
"From who though?? The Dominion don't know about them...lets hope they never do."
Jesse shook his head. " We can never be sure Lexa."
She signed. "Yeah I know." She flopped backwards on the bed.
Jesse looked down at her. "Well let's not worry about that at the moment."
Lexa looked a little unsure as she shook her head. "I can't help it. I'm just worried. What if they find out and then take them away from us??"
"Sanctuary is safe. No one can come in here unless we let them," Jesse replied, reassuring her. He lied next to her.
"I hope not," She said softly
Jesse hugged Lexa "Don't worry I'll even upgrade the system if you'd like."
"That'd help a little," Lexa replied quietly, wrapping her arms around his.
Jesse smiled. "Ok I'll do that tonight"
"Thanks love," she smiled. "Where did Bren and Shal go??"
Jesse shrugged. "Beats me. Ever since Shal was cured they are inseparable"
Lexa chuckled and turned to face him. "My fault sorta. I told Shal the stuff Brennan said and she went after him."
Jesse looked at Lexa "I hope Brennan did the right thing and dumped his girlfriend he has been seeing for 8 months"
"I hope so and I hope you did too," Lexa looked at him with narrowed eyes and a twinkle in them.
Jesse laughed. " I didn't have a girlfriend and well I don't know if Brennan did or not. Jesse heard the phone and grabbed it from next to him on the night stand.
"Hello?" He then waited for a response but heard nothing then someone hung up.
"Who was it??"
Jesse looked at Lexa, shaking his head. "Must have been a wrong number
Lexa frowned. She was a little more paranoid right now but could you blame her really?? "Maybe"
"Don't worry Lexa we are perfectly safe." He said as he got up and headed for the door just as the lights went out
"You were saying??" Lexa said as she got up. "Let's go see what happened."
Jesse just walked out and started to look around
Lexa hurried to find Alexis. With what little light there was she looked around.
Alexis hid under the computer console
Lexa passed by the computer console not seeing Alexis until she was a few feet away. "Alex what are you doing under there??"
Alexis took her time in answering "Hiding"
"Hiding from what??" Lexa questioned
Alexis didn't look at her mother. "I did a bad thing"
"What did you do?? Did you put out the lights?? How and Why??"
"I was playin' on the computer and something came up. I clicked on it," she squeaked.
"Alex hun, next time, ask when there's something you don't know what it is okay?? Now let's see if Daddy can fix it. Jess love, Alex accidentally made the lights go out."
Jesse called back. "Ok I'm on it"
Alexis looked sheepishly at Lexa as she climbed out. "Am I in trouble?"
"No just don't do it again which means no touching the computer when there is something on the screen you don't know about."
"How do I know its there if I can't see it?"
"You....you can't see it what??" Lexa knitted her eyebrows in confusion.
Alexis shrugged "It just popped up when I was playing. I didn't see it."
"Jess did you hear that??"
Jesse nodded and yelled back. "I did."
"Okay then what's up with that?? Is it a virus?? Can't be" Lexa listed.
Jesse shook his head. "I don't think it is."
Jesse went to the other computer and quickly fixed the lights."
Alexis waited till Lexa wasn't looking to start to walk off
"Stop right there young lady where are you going??"
"Potty," Alexis answered.
Lexa growled lowly thinking. "Okay no more computer for now."
"Ok" she walked off trying to avoid Lexa's gaze.
Jesse came behind Lexa. "Where'd she go?"
"Bathroom but probably is going to her room. Hopefully out of trouble for now."
"Lex, she got into the system some how"
"Okay then how did she get into the system?? I don't think its that easy."
Jesse shook his head. "I don't really know."
"Then we get to find out," Lexa said
"How do you want to do this?" Jesse asked getting in front of her then sat at the computer
"Retrace what she was doing. Let's se what she got into" Lexa instructed.
"Okay," he quickly got to work
Lexa stood behind him and watched, her chin resting on his shoulder.
Jesse sighed as he found the history files. "It seems the system was already opened. Whoever was on this last didn't get out of it." He worked on finding who was on the computer last.
"Great did someone hack into our system??" Lexa growled
He shook his head. "No the alarms would have went off. It was someone here."
"Oh good safe then. Now need to make sure that she can only access certain things."
"I'm sure it wasn't her fault."
"Hey, who said I was accusing her. I know she didn't do it on purpose," Lexa said defensively.
Jesse turned to her. "I know. We have a spare computer around here I'll deprogram it and she can use that one."
Alexis went to her room and laid on the bed and grabbed the book and tried to read it. She got frustrated after a while and tossed it on the floor
Shalimar was trying not to think about her dream as they sat in the theater she grabbed Brennan's hand as she cuddled next to him
Brennan held her close to him, resting his chin on her head.
Shalimar fell asleep during the movie
They were unaware someone was watching in the back. When the movie was over everyone got up and left except the woman in the back. She stared at Brennan angrily. He was gonna pay for what he did to her and pay well.
Brennan shook Shalimar awake. "Hey Shal wake up sleepy head. You missed the movie."
Shalimar groaned a bit and opened her eyes, stretching a little. "I watched some."
He kissed her lightly on the cheek and smiled affectionately at her. "You still missed a good movie"
Shal smiled. "Well that's ok. I got to be with you so I'm happy."
He nuzzled her lightly. "I'm glad. Come on lets get out here and find something more...fun to do."
Shal smirked at him. "What are your plans?" She had an idea but she'd play along.
He had a mischievous look. "Oh I dunno what do you think??"
Shalimar smiled seductively. "I think we should get out of here unless the ushers come in and well get a shock." She pulled at him and got up she then stopped and looked around flashing her eyes as she looked around
"What is it??" He asked seeing her eyes glow.
Shalimar continued to look "I thought I sensed someone." Her eyes went back to their normal bright brown.
Brennan looked around as well.. "I don't see anyone so guess it was no one. Come on let's get back to having our...fun." He winked at her.
Shalimar looked at Brennan and then headed out of the room "So you lead the way."
Instead he picked her up and carried her out. "If you say so my kitten."
Shal laughed, "You are full of surprises."
Once they got outside she gasped "Brennan your… your car!"
He set her down and gaped at his car. "What the-??"
She looked at the tires, which were slashed, and the windows all broken with a note was on the seat.
Brennan picked up the not and opened it.
Shalimar looked at Brennan after he set her down to read the note "What's it say?"
Brennan crumpled up the note. "It's noting just a bunch of lies."
Shal looked at him not satisfied with his answer. "Who did this?"
"Someone who has major issues about letting go," he replied with darkened eyes.
Shal looked at him with her arms crossed. "Who would that be?"
"My ex-girlfriend. I thought you didn't love me and not interested so I became involved with someone else," Brennan blushed.
Shalimar didn't know what to say she looked at Brennan for a moment and walked off some
Brennan went up behind her. "Look Shal this was before you became sick and I realized how much you meant to me. I broke up with her months ago and I thought she was over it but I guess not. She'll have to learn to live with it though 'cause I have my real love."
Shalimar just stood there " Brennan she won't. She's gonna keep coming after you."
"Then I'll deal with her," Brennan growled
Shalimar instantly hugged Brennan. "Just as we thought things couldn't get any worse this happens
He hugged Shalimar tightly. "I think things could get worse but lets hope that doesn't happen."
Shalimar sighed. "Brennan they always do…eventually."
"Unfortunately," he growled. "Come on let's get home. I'll call a tow truck and get it repaired."
"We walking?" She barely got those words out when Shalimar heard something and saw a speeding car coming at them "Brennan!!"
He heard tires and Shalimar cry out as a car came hightailing it towards them. Quickly he grabbed her and got them out of the way
The car sped off right as they hit the ground.
"What the hell was that?" She asked, breathless.
"I have no clue but I bet it was Robyn, the ex," he growled. He called the tower and a cab to pick them up.
Shalimar felt a sick feeling the pit of her stomach and her throat suddenly felt dry as she watched the road that the car left
"What??" He saw the look on Shalimar's face.
"My stomach hurts," she said quietly.
"You'll be okay. Come on the cabs here. Let's get home and check out your tummy problem," he said with a half smile.
"Ok" she said quietly and climbed into the cab.
Shalimar was quiet the whole ride home she didn't want Brennan to know she was in pain still
Brennan had the cab driver stop a smile away from Sanctuary, making the driver think they wanted the scenic spot, not home.
Shalimar climbed out and zipped her jacket up
He paid the driver and waited for him to get out sight before he headed to the entrance of Sanctuary. "Shal you okay?? You seem a little pale."
" I'm fine," she said quickly
Brennan looked at her, knowing she was hiding something. He wouldn't bug her about it until she wanted to tell him as long as it wasn't life threatening.
Shalimar leaned against the wall once they got inside
That's when Brennan knew something was wrong with her. "Shal what's wrong you don't look so good."
Shal shook her head. "I don't know my stomach hurts and I feel cramps
He picked her up. "Let's get you to the lab."
Shalimar breathed a little rapidly. "Do we have to? Maybe they will go away later."
"Better to be safe than sorry."
Shal tried to argue "Its late no one is up who's gonna do the scan?"
"I will and if you don't want me to I'll get Jesse up to do it."
"Bren u never ran a scanner before," Shalimar said
"It can't be that hard. I've seen Jesse and Adam do it hundreds of times."
Shal bit her lip a little unsure. "Ok"
Brennan took her to the lab and carried her in, putting her in the chair. He turned on the scanner just like he had seen Jesse and Adam do it. When it was done he was in shock.
Shalimar looked at Brennan "What is it? What's wrong??"
"Shal...your...your pregnant."
Shalimar looked at him in disbelief, shaking her head. "No I can't be."
"Shal...you are....the scans don't lie and I'm sure I did it right."
Shal sighed. " Brennan how can it be possible I was told I could never have kids"
"Huh?? What?? When??"
Shal sighed and told him not in detail why. "Something happened to me when I was younger and I was told that I could never have kids"
"Well guess that changed cause you are Shal. You're gonna have a child....our child."
Shal got up off the chair, still in shock. She went to the console and looked at the results, Brennan stepping back to let her look at the scan results.
Shalimar cleared the screen and walked to the door not saying a word
Brennan walked after her. "Shal....have you known?? Ferals tend to know these things."
Shalimar didn't look at him as she stopped " I felt things for 2 weeks but I wasnst sure till now."
Brennan put both hands on her shoulders.
Shalimar didn't know what to do as she felt Brennan's hands on her. "Brennan I'm scared."
"You'll be fine," he said quietly and wrapped his arms around her.
Shal sighed and nodded solemnly. "I'm sure I will
"I know you will. Come on let's get some sleep you'll feel better in the morning." He laid his head against hers.
Shal "your room or mine?
"Mmm yours. You'll be more comfortable."
Shal "ok" she said tiredly and started
He picked her up, deciding to baby her a little. "Okay my sleeping beauty let's go to bed."
Shalimar smiled sleepily and yawned " i hope u are gonna read me a story
"I'll read you anything you want," he said and kissed her on her forehead.
"You pick." She closed her eyes and laid her head on Brennan's shoulder
"Hmm let's see...Cinderella...nah lets do The Wind and the Willow," he laughed.
Shalimar fell asleep with out Brennan realizing.
He barely read three pages when he saw her asleep. Brennan put her on the bed then climbed up himself. He covered the both of them and quickly fell asleep.
Shalimar slept peacefully the first hour or 2 before she began to have her dreams once again, she could hear voices she couldn't see the faces in her dream she felt restraint
Brennan slept soundly.
Shalimar woke up gasping for air and looked around she was shaking abit and she seen Brennan next to her and laid closer to him and closed her eyes
Brennan unconsciously felt her and held her close to him.
Shalimar looked at Brennan then closed her eyes once again
Lexa woke up when a sharp pain in her stomach. She kept the pain muffled so Jesse didn't hear her as he rolled over some but stayed asleep
Lexa got up and walked out the door to the rec center, alone. She sat on the floor, leaning against the wall breathing hard in pain. Something was wrong and she knew it.
Alexis was awake and in her room trying to read the book. She heard something and walked out of her room "Mommy are you hurt?" She asked Lexa once she saw her
Lexa looked at Alexis and shook her head. "I'm fine baby go back to bed."
"I can't sleep and you are sad and hurting mommy," Alexis said shaking her head
"I'll be fine I'm just a little sick," Lexa lied partially.
Alexis cocked her head in concern. "Want Daddy or aunt Shal?"
"No not yet," Lexa whispered.
"Ok," she walked closer and sat next to Lexa with a book in hand. "I'll read you a story to cheer up."
Lexa smiled weakly. "Okay maybe that'll help." She hid her pain but knew Alexis could probably feel it though she wished she didn't, not wanting to pain her daughter with it.
Alexis took the book and put it on her lap and began to read to Lexa slowly as her mother watched, correcting or helping Alexis with her pronunciation
Alexis did what Lexa said to do and kept on reading, eventually falling asleep
Lexa picked up Alexis and took her to her room, tucking her in. She went back to her room and fell asleep next to Jesse, the pain having gone away.
Shalimar got up in the middle of the night and walked out of the room and out of the garage. She started walking away from Sanctuary
Brennan didn't notice Shalimar leaving, dead asleep
Finally Brennan noticed Shalimar gone at 4am in the morning.
"Hey Shal were are you??" Brennan got off the bed and went to look for her but found no one. Shalimar still hadn't answered him. "Hey Jess, Lex have you seen Shal?? Shes missing."
Jesse yawned. "Brennan its 4 in the morning I'm in bed so of course I haven't seen Shal," he said sleepily.
Lexa just groaned and rolled over.
"Maybe she's in the bathroom or something Bren," he suggested.
"I've looked everywhere and can't find her."
Jesse sighed in mild annoyance. "Trace her com ring."
"I'll try," Brennan answered. "Shes outside walking I guess....but why is she outside at this hour??" Brennan said to himself mostly.
Jesse just mumbled and fell back to sleep
Shalimar walked further away heading for the cliffs that dropped into the crashing waters.
Brennan walked to the garage and headed out to find Shalimar. What was she doing out at this hour?? Usually she'd say or leave a message. Brennan followed the path he found to where she had gone. He spotted her at the cliffs and called her name. "Shal!!"
Shalimar didn't hear Brennan as she continued to walk
He came up behind her and tapped her shoulder. "Shal what are you doing??" He didn't like how close they were going to the cliffs
Shalimar jumped from his touch and looked at him with a blank expression.
He asked her the same question again, looking very worried. He put his shoulder around her and gently led her back towards Sanctuary. "Come on kitten let's go back inside."
Shalimar let him take her back not sure what had just happened
He took her back to her room and yawned. "Come on back to sleep its too early to be up, even for you."
Shalimar climbed back into bed and closed her eyes
Brennan crawled in next to her, covering them up and wrapping his arm around her waist.
Aden sat at the computer, searching through files from a disk he had gotten from a client. "All right where you are??" He was looking for two people, one especially.
He saw that a man took her highly known on the black market for selling assassin weapons.
"Well well, Leo Pierce, twin of Lexa Pierce." He read that Leo had given his and Lexa's daughter to the assassin seller. He'd have to go see this dealer and take back what was his.
One of his men came in. "Sir? " He walked closer to the desk
Aden Valaire looked up from his laptop. "Yes??"
The man answered casually. "You wanted me to find the dealer Sir and we have him in the holding cell."
He smiled. "Good work. Bring him in here in chains."
He nodded and walked off after about 15 minutes later he tossed the guy in a chair
"Where's the child you had with you?? You got her from a man named Leo Pierce."
The dealer laughed "She's dead."
"I don't think so," Aden growled. He knew he was lying. "I know your lying."
He looked at Aden "Who cares where the brat went I sure the hell don't. I'm glad she's out of my hair."
"Who took her?" He knew he could look deeper into his mind but didn't want to right now, not yet
The dealer shrugged. "Some broad, I don't know her name."
"Blue eyes, dark brown hair with a sassy attitude??" Aden listed
"That and more," he muttered
"Thanks and you won't remember anything that we've talked about." He used a psionic blast, knocking him out, erasing the past four hours. "Take him away and drop him off where you found him" He had to find Lexa now and the child.
"Yeah boss," Jake picked the guy up "Why is the kid important?"
"She is the first mutant hybrid with very powerful abilities...two, which has never happened before," Aden answered. "She's of my blood and DNA as well and I want to harness her abilities."
"So she's your kid huh? Congrats sir."
"She was a DNA test child, nothing more." He wanted her powers nothing else.
"But sir she's still a human child and you are well her father," Jake argued lightly.
Aden got back to work. He liked Jake, he was like his right hand, advisor, and consultant.
Jake drove and dumped the man off in the street and sped off back
Shalimar woke up and looked around the room
Lexa woke up and got up again, feeling sick again. She walked out of the room.
Shalimar seen Brennan asleep next to her and peeled his arm off him and tried to get off the bed without waking him
Brennan rolled over sound asleep
She walked out of the bedroom and saw Lexa "Lexa you ok?" She asked looking at her friend.
"Yeah," Lexa said weakly. Her head was light, her stomach cramping severely
Shalimar frowned, furrowing her brow together. "Lex you arent ok and I can tell come on I'll scan you."
She shook her head. "No I'm-" she collapsed on the ground in pain, curling up in a fetal position.
Shalimar ran over to Lexa "Okay I know this isn't fine. Jesse I need you out here now!!!
Jesse heard Shal. He sighed and got up "Yeah what's-" He started and saw Lexa on the ground. He ran over and picked her up "What happened??"
"Just get her to the lab!" Shal snapped
Lexa panted in pain as she saw spots in her vision to where she could barely see. It meant she was about to pass out in pain
Jesse put her in the chair with Shalimar right behind him
"Jess what's wrong?? It hurts bad," she said weakly
He hurried to the console and began the scanner " I don't know honey just hang in there."
Lexa began to tear from it. Breathing hard and rapidly she waited with Shalimar near her. She stared past Shalimar with her eyes half closed. She winced as another wave hit her.
Jesse came over after the scan and injected her with some type of analgesic. "This should help with the pain."
When it took effect, Lexa relaxed and almost passed out but kept herself awake. She had to know what was wrong and she had an idea about what it was over. "What is it?"
"You are having trouble with carrying the baby honey because… well because of our DNA mix," he said reading the results.
"Can you fix it? We're not gonna lose it are we??" Lexa asked quickly, her heart speeding up
Jesse tried to look calm. "Well I'm sure with rest and some meds you should be fine but you have to take it easy."
Lexa sighed. She hated being out of action but knew she had to. "Great stuck in dry dock."
Jesse smiled. "Yeah but u get to spend time with me and Alexis."
She smiled weakly. "Yeah that's an upside. Best one too."
"Shalimar can take over the missions for now right Shal?" He looked at her
Shalimar was suddenly pulled from her daze when she heard her name. "Huh? What? Oh yeah sure."
"You okay Shal??" Lexa asked her quietly.
Shal nodded. " I'm fine I was just thinking of stuff nothing more."
"Okay. Thanks Shal for helpin'," Lexa said to the feral.
Shal smiled. "Any time." She yawned "So is there anything in store for us now?"
Jesse shrugged. "I don't know Lex?"
The chromatic shook her head. "The Dominion hasn't said anything for a while so I guess all is quiet. Let's hope it stays that way for a while."
Jesse nodded in agreement. "Yeah I hope so too."
"Can I go back to sleep now Jess?? I feel fine for now and tired." She yawned
Jesse looked at her then nodded. "Yes."
She sat up slowly getting up on shaky legs and Jesse helped her to the bedroom. Lexa leaned against Jesse. "Why can't things ever be easy??"
Jesse shook his head. "I don't know," he said laying her down. "You sleep and I need to talk to Shal. Something's up with her as well."
"Okay love. Thanks." She said and kissed him gently
Jesse kissed her back and left the room, going back to the lab where he found that Shal had never moved from her spot. "Ok Shalimar Fox what's wrong with you?
Shalimar looked at Jesse, shaking her head after a moment. "It's nothing."
Jesse crossed his arms over his chest. "Shal I know you pretty well."
Shal sighed and gave in. " I'm pregnant Jess."
Jesse's jaw dropped a little. " You are? How? Who?"
Shalimar gave him a are-you-that-dense look
"Ok never mind that I know how and who but you don't seem happy about that."
Shal shook her head. "No I'm fine it's just," she started then sat down "I'm scared and I never felt it like this."
Jesse came over and put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her just a little. "You're okay. Where's Brennan?"
"Asleep," she replied.
Jesse hugged Shal " It will be fine."
" Jesse just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I can't still go out if needed."
Jesse looked doubtful. "Shal that's not a good idea."
Shalimar frowned, upset at his comment. " Jesse you can't stop me."
Jesse looked right back at her in the same defiant look. " I can be as stubborn as you so try me."
Shalimar raised an eyebrow without a smile, saying without words "Oh really??" Then she spoke out loud. "Or what?"
Jesse snickered. "Brennan!" He called
Shal gaped at him in disbelief " You wouldn't?!"
"It's for your own good you will thank me later."
Brennan groaned as he heard Jesse's voice. "What man?? Lexa gone missing at the crack of dawn??" That meant it was still early in the morning and too early to get up. Not even the birds were up at this hour.
Jesse chuckled. "Very funny but no its about Shalimar."
Shal hissed at him. "No Jess."
"Look Shal we love you and I have to."
Brennan sat up quickly. "What's wrong?? Is she okay??"
"She's fine but I think you need to have a talk with her about missions," Jesse replied.
Shal gave Jesse a look that could kill but he ignored it.
Brennan hopped off the bed and went to the lab. "Shal...Jess...what's up with the mission thing??"
Jesse turned to face Brennan and answered him. "Well I heard about her condition and she still wants to go out in missions."
Shal sighed in annoyance.
"Shal you shouldn't go out on missions after the first trimester. Probably not even now," Brennan said.
Shal gave him a defiant look along with a pout. " Brennan that isn't fair I want to go on missions."
"I know but you can get hurt and that'd endanger the baby. You don't want that do you??"
"I hate this," she hissed as she walked off.
"I know you do but remember your not alone in that pretty body of yours," Brennan replied.
"I hate feeling useless and that's what's gonna happen," she complained as she turned around.
"You won't be useless Shal. You never haven been and never will. You have three jobs you know," Brennan said following her.
Shal looked perplexed. "Three?"
"Being a member of this team, taking care of yourself, and taking care of our child," Brennan listed. "That's a lot ya know."
"Brennan being on this team means fighting bad guys and doing missions. That's what I want," she stated.
"Shal you can't and you know it. You'll be pretty heavy in a few months," he couldn't help but smirk at that.
Shalimar narrowed her eyes at him. "You would like that wouldn't you?"
"Oh yeah," he said sarcastically
Jesse rolled his eyes. "Oh boy. " He walked out.
He smirked at Shalimar with a teasing glint in his eyes
Shal crossed her arms, putting her weight on her right leg. " Fat huh?"
"Hey you said it not me," he said putting his hands up in surrender.
Shalimar jabbed him in the stomach and walked out
Jesse was by the door. "Oh damn the next nine months is gonna be hell for all of us," he said about Shal
"Ow," he mouthed and nodded, waiting till she was out and gone to reply. "Yeah...feral high on hormones now that's gonna be fun."
Jesse laughed. "Hide the silverware. She will hunt you down ."
"Guess I'll have to hide somewhere else," he joked. He would never leave Shalimar but hey he could joke about it with his best friend.
Jesse grinned. "Better get a second home and fast and make room for me," he said walking to go check on Alexis
"Hey whoa dude what did you just say??" Brennan asked as it hit him and he followed Jesse.
Jesse turned with a smile that showed pure happiness. " Shal isn't the only one pregnant."
Brennan's jaw dropped. "Aww man, two times the hormones. We are so screwed." He couldn't help but laugh at that.
"Yeah that's why I say get us a place to hide," he laughed himself.
"I'll be sure to look into that later today," he said midly serious. You could only take so much especially when there were two in the same place.
Jesse left Alexis' room and began to make some pills that would help Lexa with her problem.
"What are those pills for??" Brennan asked.
