Chap 5.

Two Months Later

Lexa was in her room impatiently tapping her foot as she paced back in forth in her bedroom. When her cell phone rang she nearly jumped out of her skin.

"This is Lexa. Oh Thank god! Dr Marcus what did you find? What? Are you sure? Yeah I'll be in touch.

'Oh this is just great. You know what Shalimar you should you be real careful about what you wish for.' Lexa thought to her self as she left her room and went in search of Jesse. "Jesse, we need to talk." Lexa said as she walked into the computer lab. She wouldn't admit that she was terrified of his reaction to her news.

"What is it, Lexa?" Jesse said as he inputted some data into the computer from their last mission.

"Where are Brennan and Shalimar?" Lexa asked stalling for time.

"Shalimar came by an hour ago and said they were heading out for some couple time and not to contact either of them unless death was eminent. Why, what's up?"

"Remember a couple of months ago we had sex with out any protection and I said that it was going to be safe. There wouldn't be any risk."

"Yeah I remember. Lexa, whatever it is tell me."

"Fine, Kilmartin, you got me pregnant. You happy now? I'm having a baby. Your baby." Lexa had her wall in place attitude at the ready for his reaction.

"I'm sorry what?"

"I'm pregnant!" Lexa almost crumbled at the blank look on his face. "Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it." Lexa turned to leave the room. She would not ask herself why his reaction hurt.

Jesse walked over to her, and grabbed her arm turning her around to face him. "Wait a minute! Lexa did you just say you're pregnant?"

"What, are you deaf?"
