It's been a while but never too late for new chapter! As always thans to my wonderful editor Bellamodel1 :D Enjoy ;)


It's been 2 weeks since Michael left her on the porch. She wondered if she will see him ever again. He had done his part. made sure she was save, away from division's big eye. Michael had no more obligation to her.

The weeks passed her on. Turning her new home into anti-invasive fortress. She installed an unbelievable amount of cameras, motion sensors in the nearer and further surrounding of the house to make sure no one would surprise her. She needed extra precaution cause she was not so fast and agile as she used to be which was hard to accept. Moving was becoming harder every passing week. She was getting tired quickly and slept most of the day not mentioning the tons of food she absorbed. But apart from this, Nikita felt incredibly happy. She was loving this baby more and more every day.

The town was lovely but Nikita tried to keep a low profile. No neighborhood parties, no chit-chats outside the local store, she restrained only to greet her closest neighbors but never stopped to chat not wanting them to ask dangerous questions like where is she from or where does she work.

Today she started to furnish the baby's room. She knew it would be a girl. She found out the baby's sex last week. Michael would be happy. After days of dilemma Nikita decided to paint the room yellow. She always loved that color. It was a color of hope. Hope that after night comes a bright day with sun shining. She felt exactly like her day was beginning. This baby was a light in the darkness she was looking for this whole time. She finally had something to live for.

She worked all day with minor breaks for snacks. She tried to keep busy not to go crazy cause she was not born to lay on the couch all day and all physical activities like jogging or yoga were impossible due to her big belly.

When she finally finished she was stunned how beautiful the nursery turned out. Evening sun was making it even more warm and yellow.

-I hope you will like it pumpkin. -Nikita smiled to herself and placed her hand on her tummy. She was pleased but also so tired with the all-day activity that she only managed to wash off the paint and went to sleep immediately.

Few hours later Nikita was woken up by beeping of computer signalizing someone stepped on a sensor she installed 50 meters away from the house. Still sleepy, She stood up quickly and grabbed her gun. She was looking on the cameras all around the house when she heard someone knocking on the door. It was too late for neighbors to visit and Knocking on the front door was not exactly in Division's style.

Nikita cautiously and slowly got closer to the door with the gun in her hands trying to shake off the sleep from her head. As she looked in the peephole she lowered her gun and opened the door quickly.

-Michael, what happened? –she asked seeing his face tense and pale and shaken. She moved from the way to let him in and hid the gun. Michael passed her by, sat on the couch, buried face in his hands and whispered:

-I'm sorry….

-For what?

-You were right. You were right all this time.

-right about what? –Nikita was confused

-About everything. Kasim …. was division – He raised his head and looked at her. The Pain in his eyes was unbearable

-What? Wait… how do you know?

-I got his trace about a week ago and followed him since then. He was about to meet some Canadian mob-boss and I knew where they would be.

-You went there on your own? –she was angry. He was always so reckless.

-Birkhoff helped me. Off the record. He knows how important it was to me. When I finally got Kasim he started to say strange things. Things he shouldn't know. He confessed that Percy hired him to kill me in order to get higher in Al Kaida ranks and become his mole. But Kasim turned against Percy and stayed loyal to his comrades.

Percy was deceiving me all this time Nikita… Since the day he walked into my hospital room and recruited me to work for him… He used my pain to work and kill for him. I was serving blindly the man who is responsible for my family's death.

Nikita was shaken. Her eyes filled with tears. She knew Percy was capable of everything but she would never suspect that.

-If I'd just listen to you five years ago… Things would have been different.

- Things will be different. – she sat by his side and hugged him. Her big belly was touching his and he could feel the baby moving. Michael closed his eyes to remember that moment. Nikita was the only real thing that happened to him. Only one he was sure of. And not long ago he was ready to betray her.

Michael moved her away to look at her face. In her eyes he saw compassion and something more. He recognized this feeling. He felt it too but pretended it doesn't exist.. He couldn't pretend any longer. He kissed her. She looked at him seeing love in his eyes and kissed him back. Their kiss was gentle and lingering but quickly turned into a passionate and strong one. She felt tingling in her stomach when he broke the kiss. She wanted more. Nikita started to unbutton his shirt when he stopped her only to whisper:

-Are you sure it is not gonna hurt him?

-I'm sure she won't mind.

-Wait.. she?

-It will be a girl, shut up already –she shut his mouth with a kiss and continued to struggle with his shirt.


Meanwhile in Division.

Birkhoff had enough of this day. Percy was a madman since some stupid guy who was about to watch his money appeared to steal his 30 millions. Birkhoff knew it was only a small part of Percy's money but still it made him furious. He felt a chill thinking how horribly this man's life ended.

He grabbed his energy drink, and was about to leave Operations when he was stopped by computer beeping.

-What now…. – he was furious that something is keeping him in this madhouse longer than needed. After whole day in Division he was fed up with it so much he needed whole pack of energy drinks to recover. Nerd was immediately back in front of the screen.

-It cant be…. He said shocked as he saw what the alert was about. A while ago he created new program "Shadowtrack" which was specifically designed to look for any Nikita's activity. It was shortly before her death and when she was already gone he thought it is pointless to tell anyone so he forgot about it. His fingers rushed through keyboard as he was digging into it. Those were photos of Nikita in some supermarket in Bradenton, Florida.

-Florida?-he muttered to himself

They presented tall young woman with her hair tied and wearing sunglasses. She was carrying shopping bags full of groceries. There was no way he could confirm it is her. Maybe Shadowtrack made mistake? He enhanced photos.

No. It was definitely her. Same pose, same smooth, watchful. and graceful moves.

Nikki fooled us again. She is freaking good. But I'm better. - He looked through the rest of the photos. They were made 15 minutes before as she entered the store.

-Holy crap…. what the….- He cursed as he saw pictures of Nikita now there was no bags covering her anymore and what he saw made him freeze.

Always slim Nikita now had a big prominent belly.

-No freaking way…. – he grabbed his phone and dialed Michael's number but instantly pressed the red disconnect button when there new photos appeared. Nikita and somebody else on the beach. The man beside her was wearing sunglasses and a suit. Definitely not beachwear. He instantly recognized him.

-Mikey what the hell were you thinking…. – he whispered to the computer and looked in the direction of Percy's office.

-Yeah… there is no other choice but…..


And? What do you think? :D
