Rising Light

Chapter 2.
Blair and Tyler sat side by side on the sofa while they supervised Mackenzie, Christopher, and Alaric's school lessons. The young couple knew that something was up since Nora usually refused to allow anyone to help her teach the younger kids.
Annabelle walked into the room and sat down next to Blair. "The adults are having some kind of meeting in the lab."
"Of course they are." Blair muttered, her fingertips warming with heated light. "They can't ever bring us in on the meetings."
"You'd think they would." Annabelle sighed. "Especially since they are talking about the two of you."
"Theresa" Tyler warned as he shot his twin sister a look, "don't go there right now."
Annabelle scowled at being called by her middle name. "You're little secret is going to be out soon enough."
"I know." Blair whispered as she laid her hand over her stomach in a protective gesture. "I just wanted this to be a happy time."
Jason Eckhart sat at his desk going over the files that he had on Mutant X. The margins of the papers were filled with his own personal notes and by his side he had a stack of information that had been collected by the agents who had worked for his father.
He picked up a dart and threw it at the picture he had taped over the dartboard on his wall. He smiled evilly when the dart pierced the picture right between the eyes. "You'll pay for this, Mulwray."
The med bed shook violently from Brennan's fist slamming against it. "There is no way in hell that Tyler is the father!"
"There is no doubt about it." Jesse argued. "I ran the DNA comparison test five times. You're son has gotten her knocked up!"
"Jesse! Brennan!" Adam called, feeling as if he had been taken twenty-five years into the past. "I would appreciate it if you two could handle this in a slightly calmer fashion."
Both men took a deep breath and backed away from each other.
"I have run the tests myself." Adam continued. "There is no doubt that the baby is Tyler's."
"He just couldn't keep his hands off of her!" Jesse took a step closer to Brennan.
"So what, she's absolutely innocent in this! Blair dresses a lot more slutty than Shal or Lexa ever did!" Brennan stepped closer to Jesse.
"Boys!" Nora said as she stepped between them. "They are both responsible. It takes two to tango, or to make a baby. Now I don't want there to be any fighting. We need to work this issue out as calmly as possible, and with out upsetting Blair. Knowing her she is probably very happy about the baby and I don't want to see any of you ruin this for her."
"Nora is right." Shalimar spoke up. "If we turn this into a fight we'll drive each other away and probably drive the children away in the process. Now I know that none of us want that so why don't we calm down and talk about it."
