Two Sides to Every Story

The Beginning of the Story

"Shut up Brennan!"

"Hey since when does a spoiled brat like you get to tell me what to do. You could've gotten Shal killed out there"

"How many times do I have to tell you, IT WASN'T MY FAULT"

Sparks started to fly form Brennan's hands as he started to loose his temper.

"You know what Jess, I'm getting sick of you always with everything around here just because you're Adam's blue eyed boy"

"oh so that's what you think is it"

Jesse tried to throw a punch but they both got hit with a psy-blast before he could connect.

"hey what was that for"

"I am so sick of you two bickering like 5 year olds. Now I suggest you both go and cool off for a while, separately and think about what's going on with you guys right now"

"fine with me"

"Me too"

They both threw her muntinus looks as they stomped away in different directions.

Emma ignored their looks and went back down to the lab to see how Shalimar was doing.

At least she was awake now even though she looked like she was fighting to stay that way. Emma walked over to her best friend and gently lay her hand on the feral's arm.

"Hey Shal, how're you doing" she spoke so softly it was barely above a whispher.

"Better than I was an hour ago" the blonde managed a small laugh before she winced in pain again.

"Did I hear Bren and Jess arguing? It wasn't about me was it?"

Emma glanced over at Adam before she answered.

"No, Brennan was just annoyed because Jesse broke his favourite mug that's all. Nothing for you to worry about, you just concentrate on getting some rest ok"

"Ok if you insist"

With that Shalimar fell back to sleep.

"How is she really Adam?"

Emma asked with concern in every note of her voice.

"well she has 3 broken ribs, a concusion, a fracture in her left arm and bruises she'll be feeling for a month but it could have been a lot worse."

He didn't even want to think about what could have happened so he changed the subject.

"So what were those two arguing about?"

"The same as always, Brennan blames Jesse, Jesse tells Brennan to shut up and Brennan calls Jesse a spoiled brat."

"don't worry"

She added seeing the tired look on her foster fathers face

"I separated them before they could break anything. I sent them both off to think about things while the cool off."

"where would we be without you Emma"

Adam smiled as he gave his youngest foster daughter a hug.
