Chapter 8 – Planning

"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."

"WHAT!"

"She found out a few weeks ago and told me the other day." She saw the hurt look on Brennan's face,

"Why didn't she tell me? I'm the father I had a right to know." He said angrily.

"She wasn't sure what you'd think, she wasn't even sure about what she thought. She was scared and confused."

"She still should have told me. We would have worked it out together. We never spoke about having kids but…"

"But what Brennan?" Jesse asked.

"I love the idea and now I might be about to lose it all."

"We'll find a way." Adam said confidently.

Back at the Dominion.

"What do you mean, you hold both mine and the baby's life in your hands? You don't have control here, your boss does." Shalimar argued.

"I might not be completely in control but I could kill you now and just make it look like an accident he'd forgive me after a while."

"You evil bitch."

"Thanks hun." Nikki smirked, "You might as well start to get used to me and this place, because you're going to be here for a while." She said and walked out of Shalimar's room, sealing the door.

"It's as if they don't trust me." Shalimar said to herself as she heard the door lock. She started going through her bags but then decided she couldn't be bothered and needed to have a bath. She ran the water, got undressed and climbed in. She laid there and starting thinking to herself.

Did I make the right decision? Of course I did. Adam's safe the rest of the team and that's what matters. I never wanted to have kids anyway.

You sure about that? A voice said in the back of her head said it sounded like Brennan.

Yes of course I'd be a rubbish mum. Absolutely terrible.

Who you trying to convince me or yourself?

I'm not trying to convince anyone I would be a bad mum. We never even talked about having kids. It was never on the agenda.

Well we should have spoke but you didn't tell me did you.

It doesn't matter now it's too late. The baby will be happy here.

So leaving our child in the hands of the dominion is the best thing. Yeh right. He said sarcastically. She hated it but maybe he had a point.

No it's just a voice, it doesn't mean anything. She got out of the bath trying to forget everything she had thought about. Got dressed again and climbed into the bed. But she didn't have a peaceful sleep.

Back at Sanctuary.

"There's got to be some way to get her out of there." Lexa said

"There is." Jesse stated.

"Don't even think about it." Adam interjected.

"What?" Brennan asked.

"He's thinking about handing himself over to the dominion."

"Why not? It'll save Shalimar and the baby. 1 life for 2 seems a fair trade off." Jesse argued.

"But she'd never forgive herself. I love the fact that you're willing to do that Jesse but we need a plan that'll keep all of us safe." Brennan replied.

"Well I may have something that'll help." Adam pulled out some sheets of paper from his pocket and laid them out on the table. "Some blueprints of the dominion."

"How did you get these?" Lexa asked.

"I've still got a few tricks up my sleeve. They were going over the blueprints in front of me. Talking about building something new I think. I didn't pay attention to what they were saying just to where they were putting them. Once when they left me I stuck them in my pocket. They didn't think much of it, just assumed they'd lost them and got some more. Didn't think to look in my pockets as they had already been emptied when they first captured me. But it doesn't really matter how I got them all that matters is I did and how we can use them to help Shalimar."

"True." They all agreed and gathered round the table to look at them and think of ideas to get in, rescue Shalimar and get out all safe and sound.

After hours of looking at the blueprints and going over various ides, Jesse pointed at a mark on the blueprints, "This looks like the easiest way to get in an out. Problem is we don't know where Shalimar is, she left her comlink here."

"Well we're just going to have to rule out areas she most likely won't be and hope we're right." Brennan slammed his fist on the table making them all jump.

"We hoping we need to do more then just hope for the best. There has to be some one that can help"

"Maybe I can." They all turned as they heard the soft voice, that they recognised but didn't believe it was possible. Adam spoke,

"Emma…"
