Chapter 7 – Finding out
Brennan suddenly stood up making Lexa jump. "I'm not just going to sit here, I have to do something."
"Brennan what can we do? She said we wouldn't be able to find her, it's going to be really difficult." Lexa responded
"Well she's somewhere out there, I need her, I have to find her. She's my world." Lexa stood up and wrapped her arms around him.
"We'll do everything we can I promise. We'll find her together you're not alone in this."
"You're right there Lexa. We're a team, a family." Jesse added.
"And we stick together to save each other." Came a voice from the doorway.
Back at the dominion.
"Well how do you like your new home Shalimar?" Nikki asked.
"Oh it's just wonderful, wish I'd come here sooner." Shalimar replied sarcastically.
"There's no need for that attitude, we're only trying to help."
"Trying to help. That's a funny way to put it. You kidnap Adam; threaten to kill him if you didn't get his files. Or kill Jesse if we gave you him. Then you make a deal with me to give up my child and that's your way of helping. You need to look in a dictionary."
"True we weren't helping you we were helping ourselves." Nikki responded.
"Really you being selfish. What a surprise, I can't believe you do such a thing."
"We are in a bitchy mood aren't we? Shall I blame it on the hormones?"
"Blame it on whatever the hell you want to."
"Fine but you really should be kinder to me Shalimar."
"Why on earth would I want to do that?"
"Because I hold your life and your baby's in my hands."
They all turned around and saw Adam standing there, "Hi."
"Adam oh my god." Lexa ran over and gave him a hug. He winced as she did this, "Sorry. Come on let's go sit down in the living room."
"Adam how did you get back here?" Jesse asked.
"Well apparently Shalimar made a deal with them."
"WHAT?" Brennan shouted.
"Calm down yelling isn't going to solve anything." Lexa spoke and Brennan sat down on the sofa looking like he really needed to hit something, "I thought the only deal's they wanted was Jesse, your information, or we did nothing and you died."
"Well it appears that they found out something that was much more valuable and Shalimar was willing to give it up." Lexa froze and realised what the one thing that was more valuable and Shalimar would give up for Adam.
"Tell me she didn't?" she asked him
"You knew I was told that Shal hadn't told anyone."
"She told me yesterday after the fight with Nikki and her friends."
"What are you both on about?" Jesse wondered.
"After the fight yesterday I asked Shalimar what was wrong and she had gone down in one punch. She couldn't get up and just said she was winded. But then she told me the truth, but after what she said I can't believe she just gave it up."
"I'm annoyed that she did I certainly wasn't worth the sacrifice (finally got to say the title lol)."
"Shalimar sacrificed herself to the dominion." Brennan asked
"Not just herself." Lexa said sadly.
"What do you mean not just herself." He said getting more annoyed that he wasn't sure what was going on. Lexa lifted her head up to look Brennan In the eyes.
"Shalimar is pregnant."
Soz it short but you got another surprise from Nikki, Adam's back and Brennan finally knows so be happy.
