Okay, so...you guys can hate me forever now...I didn't get to write 3 chapters this weekend, but tonight, I'm going to write like a bunch of chapters. I decided not to send this one to my beta because she's probably going to be asleep and such, and I didn't want to piss you guys off even more...I apologize for the length of this chapter because I was busy with family all weekend. Lots of grandparents' birthdays and all...but no school tomorrow so I'm going to work on a lot of chapters tonight.

Chapter 5

Amanda's henchmen had arrived just as Sean had managed to lift Alex up and out of the area. He would have gotten Amanda good had Alex not been injured.

Sean was carrying Alex's limp body, running through the woods towards the van as fast as possible. Alex had lost a lot of blood.

"Nikita!" Sean yelled to get her attention. The van was just up ahead. Nikita quickly slid the door of the van open and helped Sean get Alex inside.

"DRIVE!" Nikita yelled to Michael.

...

Alex slowly opened her eyes. She felt pain all throughout her body. She scanned the room. Sean was asleep in a chair near her bed.

"Sean," she called out weakly.

He instantly jerked his eyes open.

"Hey," He said as he stood up,"Are you feeling okay?"

"I'm fine. My leg just hurts a lot."

"Good...good."

"What happened?"

"You got shot, Amanda got away, the usual."

"Oh, well that explains the pain..." Her mind raced through everything that happened. She was shot on a roof. They were going through the forest. Pain. The pain in her stomach.

"Is the baby okay?" A look of worry on her face.

"They're fine."

"They?"

"Oh, uhh, they're twins...they did an ultrasound when you were passed out."

"Oh..." She wasn't sure how to feel.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not sure I'm ready to be a parent, let alone to two kids. My papa had always trained me to be the one to inherit his fortune. To be able to survive on my own. To be the successor to Zetrov."

"You'll be fine. And the rest of us will be here with you, to support and help you. Not to mention me."

Alex gave him a small smile.

Nikita opened the door and peeked her head it.

"Alex, you're finally awake." Nikita said softly. Sean got up and left the room.

"Yea. How's Michael?"

"He's finally come home since we had to kill Heidecker and got a bunch of information on the company he worked for."

"What?!"

"He tried to shoot us because we figured out Kosta's payments were children..."

"I'm so sorry."

"At least we have some sort of a lead on finding the company and having a small chance of fixing his hand." Nikita said with a smile.

"We'll it's great he's not being so distant now..." Alex said.

Nikita smiled and gave her a hug.

"Yea, it really is...how are you holding up with this new baby thing?"

"I'm doing okay I guess. I'm just glad Sean's here with me. Too bad I'm going to be out of commission for a while..."

"Yea, with the way things are now, we could really use you around here...but it's great to have you back."

...
