Chapter Five
Shalimar was sitting, holding Jesse's hand and just starring at her fiancée who had long since fallen asleep. She was glad that the others had left after he'd fallen asleep, she wanted to tell Jesse the news alone. Shal reluclently left his side a few minutes to go to the washroom.
Jesse slowly opened his eyes and immediately closed them again regretting ever waking up. He clenched his eyes tightly and groaned at the pain that was now stabbing through his abdomen. Jesse moaned and tried to roll over to his side but only ended falling off the bed.
" Ooof." Came from Jesse as he hit the ground and the wind was knocked out of him.
Shal who had just returned gasped and rushed over to him. " Oh, my god. Are you okay?"
Jesse nodded and Shal helped him carefully back onto the bed and watched sadly as pain etched itself across his features.
" Adam" she called.
" Yeah, Shal."
Shal laughed slightly. " Jess, uh, fell out of the bed."
Adam looked over at Brennan and then left. " I'll be right there."
Shal was just about to reply when Jesse moaned and grabbed his middle. Shal moved his arms to discover he was bleeding. Jesse had ripped his stitches out.
" Uh, Adam. You might want to hurry, Jesse pulled his stitches."
Upon hearing this Adam quickened his pace. Adam arrived to find Shalimar beside Jesse, looking very worried. He gently moved her over and lifted Jesse's shirt, which he could already see blood soaking through. When he removed the bandage he sighed and looked over at Shal who nodded and left the room. After she left Adam went to work removing the stitches Jesse had ripped out and replacing them. Adam sighed again feeling sorry for the once again unconscious man on the bed.
Brennan and Emma came down the hall to see Shalimar sitting on the floor across from the med-lab. They glanced at each other and went over to her.
Brennan asked. " Is everything okay?"
Shal nodded. " He fell out of bed and ripped his stitches out." They talked for a few minutes and then Adam came out.
" He'll be all right. He's sleeping now if you want to go in."
She nodded and when she reached the door Adam continued " Oh, and, try to make sure he doesn't fall again."
Shal nodded laughing as Adam laughed too. She sat down beside Jesse and waited once again foe him to wake up. Maybe this time she would actually be able to talk to him.

Brennan, Adam and Emma sat in the rec room silently. It was Brennan who first broke this silence.
" Adam, You were talking about Dan's mother when Jesse woke up."
" Oh, yeah. There isn't too much to say."
Brennan shook his head. " Not much to say. Adam he must think you did something to want revenge on you."
Adam sighed and looked sad. Brennan immediately regretted bringing up the topic. Adam spoke " He probably blames me for his mother's death."
Emma gave him a reassuring smile. " Why would he do that?"
" Because I could have saved her but I didn't, she didn't want me to."
" Why?'' Emma asked carefully.

Jesse slowly woke to find Shalimar asleep in a chair beside him. He nudged her slightly and she woke up.
" You're awake." She said.
Jesse nodded " Yeah, and I promise not to fall this time."
Shal laughed and stopped him from sitting up. Lay down. Adam said your not suppose to move."
Jesse grumbled but obeyed.
" Good, now. I need to talk to you." Shal paused.
Jesse nodded again and said " Well I'm not going anywhere." Causing Shal to laugh again.
When she sobered she said." Well first off the others know where getting married." She looked at Jesse's face for a reaction but it remained neutral, so she continued. " I, uh, also found something out today." This time Jesse's face showed fear. " Don't worry it's nothing bad, I..."
A voice behind her interrupted her and she growled. " Do you know when I'm leaving for the underground?"
Shal sighed " No, Justin I don't, go ask Adam, I think he's in the rec room" After he left Shalimar turned to Jesse and smirked, she had completely forgot Justin was here. They had brought him a few days ago so they could put him in the underground but in all the confusion, she was pretty sure that everyone else had forgotten as well.
Jesse touched her arm. " You were saying something. Hon"
" uh, oh yeah. I'm pregnant." Shal laughed at the screwed up look on his face and hugged him, being careful as to not hurt him. When she sat down again she had tears in her eyes.
" What's wrong?" Jesse asked sitting up even though he wasn't suppose to.
Shal shook her head. " Nothing, I'm just glad you're all right. I almost lost you."
Jesse gently wiped the tears off her cheek. " But you didn't and I'm not going anywhere. Your stuck with me, sorry." He said smiling, which caused Shal to break down in a mixture of tears and laughter. Jesse pulled her into a kiss as she composed herself. Shal pulled away a minute later.
" I'm glad you're all right. This kid needs their father."
Jesse smiled. " Yeah, so am I."
