Big thankyou toAscaDuin for reviewing the last chapter :)
Chapter 4: Feelings uncovered.
Brennan and Jesse were playing Basketball in the courtyard and as per usual with men their conversation soon drifted onto girls.
"So when are you going to tell her?" Brennan asked Jesse.
"Tell who, what?" He answered even though he had an idea who and what Brennon was on about.
"Lexa of course." Brennan winked.
"So what do I need to tell her?" Jesse questioned and scored from the 3point line.
"How you feel." He replied but before Jesse could say anything he continued. "You need to tell her that you love her and don't even try and deny it." Brennan went and sat down.
"How did you know?"
"Everyone knows. Well except her obviously." He replied
"Good she can't find out."
"What do you mean she can't find out?" Brennan asked.
"If she finds out she'll freak there's no way a beautiful woman like her will ever like me that way." Jesse argued
Brennan stood up and walked over to him, "Trust me you need to tell her. Weather she feels the same or not because otherwise it'll just eat you up inside. You have to tell her in case something happens to either one of you. Especially now that we have trouble with the dominion again."
"You're right but I just don't know how to tell her."
"You'll know when the moment comes you'll know. Just don't let it pass you." Brennan started walking back inside and stopped and turned, "Want some food?"
"Sure." Jesse and Brennan went inside to the kitchen.
"Wonder where the girls are?" Jesse said as he noticed they weren't around.
"Don't' know." Brennan walked over to fridge and found a note on it. "Oh wait there's a note. It says,
Hi Jesse and Brennan
Congrats to whoever won basketball. We assume you're now hungry so we put the note on the fridge also there's a sandwich made up for each of you in there. Don't expect it all the time. We've gone shopping don't know what time we'll be back. Hopefully we'll be back for dinner or we'll get takeaway again.
Love Shalimar and Lexa.
P.S Brennan I've taken your credit card. Thanks hun.
"Typical she takes my card." Brennan complained.
"Oh well I'm sure she'll buy something that'll be for both of you." Jesse winked.
"Oh shut up." Brennan opened the fridge up and took out the sandwiches, "Here." He passed them over.
Meanwhile Lexa and Shalimar were shopping in town.
"So where do you want to go for lunch?" Lexa asked
"How about the little café over there on the corner. I hear the food is pretty good and not over expensive." Shalimar replied
"Sure ok. Lets' go now I'm starved and I've got everything that I needed to." Lexa said and started walking over there.
"There's just one more thing I've got to get, you go ahead and get us a table I'll be done in about five minutes."
"Fine but I'd hurry not sure how long I'll be able to not order food." Lexa joked and walked into the café. Shalimar crossed the street and went into the pharmacy. A few moments later she came out with another small bag in her hand and walked into the café where Lexa was. She looked around and strolled over to the table she saw Lexa sitting at.
"So ordered anything yet?" she asked.
Lexa smiled, "No but now that you're here I can." Lexa called the waiter over to their table and ordered a cheeseburger and chips with a coke. She looked over to Shalimar, "Hey do you want the same?" Shalimar nodded and Lexa told the waiter the same for her. The waiter walked off and returned with their drinks.
He said, "Here you go ladies, your food will be ready shortly."
"Thanks." Lexa and Shalimar both said. He walked over to another customer and left them on their own.
"Do you think we should get the guys a little present." Shalimar suggested.
"Well we did make them lunch and plus they have us, there's nothing else they could want."
"Well Brennan has me but does Jesse really have you?" Shalimar asked.
"Well I don't know it's complicated."
"How? You even like him or you don't," She stated.
"I feel like I love him but if it didn't work or he didn't feel the same I don't know what I'd do." Lexa says and Shalimar sees the tears in her eyes at just the thought of that happening. She pulls her into a hug across the table.
"Hey it's ok. I felt the same way about Brennan but after Adam was taken I knew I had to tell him before I lost him. Because never telling him and then losing him would have been harder on me, than telling him and him not returning the feelings." Shalimar explained.
"You're right. I just need to work out the right moment or simply when I have the bottle to." Lexa jokes. The waiter returned with their food and Lexa immediately started eating it.
"God you are hungry." Shalimar joked
"Yeh you'd think I was pregnant or something." Lexa didn't notice Shalimar shift in her seat as she said this.
"Um right. I'll be right back just need to go ladies room." Lexa nodded and Shalimar walked into the toilets. She came out about ten minutes later.
"Wow you took your time I was about to send out a search party." Lexa smiled then noticed the look on Shalimar's face, "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine just need to eat something." Shalimar sat down and started eating. She looked up and realised Lexa had finished hers, "You getting desert?"
"Nah nothing that really appeals to me." She replied looking at the desert menu, "Are you when you've finished that?"
"No when I finish this let's just go." ten minutes later Shalimar had finished and Lexa paid the bill.
Lexa looked at her watch when they got outside the café, "Come on then let's go home. The guys will start to wonder what's taking us so long."
"Well I think that would be me."
"God what does it take to get rid of her?" Lexa said.
"I don't know but as soon as I find out I'm doing it." Shalimar promises.
"Oh I'm so scared, no wait a minute I'm not." Nikki smirks.
"Does that smirking annoy you as much as it does me?" Shalimar asked Lexa.
"Sure does lets see if we can do something to wipe it off her face." Lexa said and blasts her using her powers. Nikki is flung back, hits a wall and then falls to the ground.
"Nice one Lexa." Shalimar complements her,
"Well I do try."
"Not hard enough." Nikki says as she gets up from the ground, "Now I don't like the odds at the moment 2 on 1 so how about we change them to, let's say 10 on 2. That I prefer the sounds of." More soldiers turn up and surround them.
"Great a party and I forgot to bring dip." Lexa mocks, "Shal you ready."
"Sure bring it on." Lexa noticed that Shalimar didn't sound as confident as she normally does but decides to ignore it. So the fight started Nikki just stood and watched as her men attacked them. She couldn't stop smiling.
Lexa blasted two of them and were knocked out, "Well it's not too bad." She says and turn to blast another but gets kicked in the head, "I really shouldn't have said that." She gets back up and punches the one that just hit her back and he falls to the ground, she kicks him again to make sure he stays down. She looks around and sees two guys on the floor near Shalimar and works out the new odds 5 on 2 but sees Nikki just standing there not getting involved, so really it was 4 on 2. But then she saw Shalimar fall to the ground and start mumbling about something, as she was hit in the stomach hard. Just as she thought this was as bad as things could get. The five guys that were unconscious all got back up. "CRAP." She yelled.
She thought 'okay new plan get Shalimar out of here, get back to sanctuary and come back later to kick these guys asses.' She dodged a punch coming her way and blasted them again she knew this would only keep them down for a little bit but hope it would be long enough for them to get away. She saw one go for Shalimar and kick her in the back. It had taken her a few repetitive blasts on these guys but they finally stopped getting up. So that's how to do it she thought and ran over to Shalimar. She picked her up just as they were getting back up. She had an arm around Shalimar's waist and then she pulled Shal's arm around her neck to support her. She moved as fast as she could with Shalimar who was in a daze. Lexa turned around to see how close they were behind them and realised Nikki must have told them all to stop as they were walking in the other direction.
"Thank god." Lexa said out loud. She placed Shalimar on the floor so she was leaning against the wall. "Shal." She shook her.
"I'm okay now I think… pain's going." She tried to stand back up but sat back down feeling dizzy.
"Shal you're not okay. What happened one blow wouldn't normally take you down?"
"I don't know just an off day I guess." Shal said but Lexa didn't believe that answer.
"There's something else isn't there." Shal didn't look her in the eye she just stared at the ground, "You can tell me anything, and I won't tell anyone not even Brennan or Jesse if you don't want me too." Shalimar looked Lexa in the eye and knew she meant every word she had just said and started to explain.
"Well I've been feeling bad for a few weeks and I went to the…" Shalimar was interrupted by a loud noise and they both looked up. The helix landed near to them in the alleyway. Jesse and Brennan got out and came running over to them.
"Oh my god what happened?" Jesse asked Lexa while Brennan bent down next to Shalimar.
"Nikki. Well and a few of her friends." Lexa stated, "How did you know where to find us?"
"Well we tried to contact you through the comlinks and they weren't working, well either that or you were ignoring us, or weren't able to reply. So we thought well really we panicked and luckily the tracers on the comlinks were still working so here we are." Jesse explained. Brennan helped Shalimar up and she balanced against him.
"You feeling better now?" Lexa asked Shal nodded her head.
"Yeh let's just go home I'm tired." They all agreed with her, got into the helix and headed back to sanctuary. Shalimar and Lexa went straight to bed when they got there and slept until the guys finished making dinner.
Nikki and her minions went back to their headquarters. Nikki sent them away but one asked to talk to her so she led him into her office area.
"What is it you wanted to talk about then?"
"When the blonde girl…"
"Shalimar." Nikki corrected.
"Yes her. When she fell to the ground clutching her stomach she was mumbling something and I heard what it was." He informed her.
"Well what was it then?" Nikki questioned.
"She said 'no not the baby, not my baby'."
Nikki smiled, "Thank you, you may leave now." He left her alone. "Excellent Shalimar you've got yourself pregnant and I'm sure the head of the dominion will be thrilled with this news."
Nikki left her office and walked up to his to tell him the news.
