Hi! School day here in the Philippines is almost over. *sigh* I really don't want to leave this fanfics hanging so I'm cramming my work before graduation days' finally arrive. My mom didn't give my allowance last week so I didn't had a chance to post this earlier. Anyways, how am I doing so far? I was thinking for writing a sequel to my last fanfic 'The Pain in Letting Go' but all the ideas came rushing out of my brain and...ZAP...I went blank. Don't you hate it when that happens. Well, I'd like to thank my readers for sticking with me this far. I hope there's some way I could repay you. LOL. Okay... here we go again. Hope you'll enjoy. Please continue reviewing.
*I'm Sorry*
Chapter 3
Shalimar seems to be getting bigger and bigger each day. Adam told her not to go working out anymore but she insisted of doing exercise even for on to my work now, while you take your nap." Adam tucked her in her bed and placed a kiss on her forehead like he usually do.
"But..." Shalimar called out. She was hoping to do some 'ass kicking' work out this day but Adam shook it of her.
"Ah uhh..." he waved his index finger, gesturing a NO, NO. "You're not leaving this bed in five hours."
"Five hours? Adam, that's a lot of wasted time." She hoped to convince him to let her out but to no avail.
"Well you wasted some of your time last night when you prowl so you have to get that sleep back." He explained.
"But..."
"Hmmm?" Adam raised his brow. "Who's the doctor?" he mischievously asked.
"You are." She replied.
"Good. Now rest here and if I saw you out of this room before five hours, I'll have no choice but to strap you in the lab." Adam grinned and left.
*******
"How is she?" Brennan asked Adam as soon as he stepped out of the room.
"She's fine." He replied. "What are you still doing here?" he then asked Brennan. Adam knew Brennan was supposed to be working out in the dojo now.
"I decided to check on her first." Brennan answered as he pointed at his room, where the feral was.
Adam smiled. "I told her to stay in your room. I suggest you leave her like that. She might convince you to let her out." He grinned.
Brennan laughed and nodded. "Then I'll be working out now."
"Okay!" Adam agreed and left him.
Brennan walked towards the dojo where he found Emma sparring with Jesse. Emma accidentally tripped and Jesse was just in time to catch her. Emma laughed when she landed on Jesse's strong and broad frame. Brennan watched them together. His heart ached as he sees how happy Emma is with Jesse. His Emma...his...
How long could he still pretend that Emma means nothing to him? He stood there, far from them; far from the woman he loves. He wanted to be close to her and yank her away from Jesse. His hands literally inched to touch her but she was so far from him...far...he could not even say 'hi' to her any more. Then his was lost in his thoughts when Jesse brought his lips near to her ears. Brennan gasped ~is he going to kiss her?~ he thought...
Meanwhile******
Emma was trying her best not to think about Brennan. She was keeping herself occupied with new defense styles, which Jesse is teaching her.
"Not like that..." Jesse announced when she fell on his arms and he laughed at her as she laughed at herself.
"This is harder than I thought!" Emma whined although it was just a pretense since she knew exactly how hard it is. "Let's take a break!" she suggested.
"Break? You are not even sweating yet!" Jesse grinned at her though she was really sweating like a pig. Emma gave Jesse a smack on his shoulder and he mouthed an 'ouch'. Emma laughed at his expression. He was really sweet for a man who grew up in a rich family. She leaned at him and sighed.
"I have something to tell you!" Jesse was about to whisper something to Emma when they heard movements from afar. "Brennan!" Jesse called out as Brennan accidentally leaned on a flower pot. Brennan didn't know what to do nor what to say and Emma was flustered by Brennan being their. Brennan nodded to acknowledge Jesse. "I came to see if I could work out in the dojo." His eyes were on Jesse and he intentionally avoided Emma's eyes.
"We just started." Jesse said. "But you could join us if you want." He suggested. Emma gasped. ~please say no~ she thought to herself.
"It's okay I'll just wait in my room. I could use a little rest anyway!" Brennan replied and then turned to his room. He still avoided Emma's eyes and it sting him from inside. He wanted to look at her, to look at her grieving heart. He wanted to hold her-hold her for the rest of his life. But how could he do that? He is going to be a father now. And besides, Emma seemed to be having her time with Jesse...with Jesse...the thought of them together impair his senses.
He walked swiftly to his room, never looking back. He did not want to see Emma, caring lesser and lesser for him each day. ~and what do you expect? She will love you even after you broke her heart?~ his thoughts haunted him. He was being selfish but this is what he really feels. He needed Emma like a choking man needed air.
At last, he reached his room. He got in quickly and closed the door. He turned to his right side and found a photo of him and her together. Photo that was taken years before this mess began. There was a light from Emma's eyes. Radiance that is now gone. His hands automatically moved to trace Emma's image. Her lips was sweet and he wanted her even more. How could something that is so beautiful be capable of hurting him this much. ~hurting you? Aren't you the one hurting her?~ a small voice in his mind taunted him. He sighed and returned the frame in its position.
Shalimar never asked why he was keeping that photo of him and Emma. Everyone knew that they are bound with a special connection they had the first time they met. No one asked anymore. There were even times when the group was looking for Emma and they would ask him where she is and for some crazy reasons all his hunches about where Emma is seemed to be correct. Emma told him that it was because of the psionic bind.
He smiled at that thought and then walked to his bathroom to take a quick shower. He almost jump at his feet when someone opened the bathroom door from inside.
I know you all want this fic to go according to your loved couple but please be reminded that this is a Brennan/Emma story. For the S/B fan, I appreciate you comments but sorry I can't grant your requests. Again, this is a BrennanEmma story….
I appreciate your reviews….thanks…
