Josephine didn't pay Sinister any attention as she lovingly stroked Shrapnel's hair, her hands still shaking a little. After a moment she stood up, trying to look tall and strong for the sake of appearances to Sinister, though her big belly betrayed her strength, "Just shut up and help him," she said laying a hand protectively over her stomach and took a few steps back.

Sinister gave her a bitter hateful look as he bent down to a knee and looked over Shrapnel's body. "Well, the implantation was certainly a success," he decided, placing his chin in his hand and surveying his lackey, "Though he certainly has bled-out quite a bit. I'll have to take him back to my lab to treat him..."

"No," Josephine said sternly pushing Sinister back so she was between him and Shrapnel, "you'll help him here, he'll rest here until he's better then he'll return to you," she said her violet eyes not waivering as she stared down Sinister, "Go back to your lab and get what you need, but you won't be taking Sean anywhere."

"No," Sinister replied, "He is my charge, he works for me, I will take him back to my lab, and tend to his wounds. My machinery, while advanced, does not possess the power to make so many trips in such a short time. Either he will return with me, or he will bleed to death here."

Josephine gritted her teeth together, "You could heal him here if you wanted you hateful monster," she growled darkly still standing between Shrapnel and Sinister. Her hand went back to her stomach as one of the baby's kicked but Josephine still stood her ground.

"How," Sinister spat, "My abilities allow me to regenerate my own lost tissue. I cannot transfer that power to another without their first having my DNA. You're a fool, Josephine, let me take him, or he will die."

"Oh like you didn't already take some of his DNA and put it in yourself, nothing like having a vast DNA supply in your body to give yourself some extra strengths," Josephine said and smirked, "Do you think that when I let you see that vision of the future I didn't also go inside you mind and see what you've done?" she asked her eyes narrowing, her eyes widened for a moment as her nose filled with Sinister's scent again, she felt her knees start to wobble, resisting the urge to let Sinister have is way, with well, everything.

"Your logic is skewed, Josephine," Sinister said, "I do not taint my DNA with that of other mutants. I use my DNA to help amplify theirs! You obviously know nothing of my works."
Below them, Sean's eyes opened. Weakly, they adjusted to the dizziness and he tensed his hand. Sinister was here now. "Go away..." he said tiredly, angrily.

Josephine bit her lip and closed her eyes for a moment, 'The fact of the matter is, with the experiments you've done on him you would have had to use your dna on him for the sake of fast healing and that the metal would take into his molecular structure," Josephine said opening her eyes to look down at Shrapnel, she dropped to one knee slowly being careful of her large stomach.
'Hey you," she murmured gently to Shrapnel running her hand through his hair again, she then looked back at Sinister, "Don't make me use my powers and endanger your children Sinister," she said her eyes hardening dispite the fact sinister's scent was driving her crazy.

"Sean's healing factor is natural. It isn't nearly as advanced as mine. As for the blades, it isn't a scientific breakthrough that I sanitized metal and slide it into his skin to develop muscular attention. Do you know how long he was unconscious while healing from the first time I operated on him? Weeks! Almost a full month! What kind of healing factor is that."
He turned, "Sean will leave with me or he will not leave at all. Is that understood?"

Josephine's chin quivered, "It's not up to me, now that he concious, it's hiw own choice if he wants to go or stay," she said her eyes filling with tears without her noticing them flowing down her fair cheeks. She stepped out of the way and stood back suddenly feeling like a stranger in her own home, "I swear if you do anything other then heal him sinister I will come after you," she said looking past Sinister and out the window for a moment to try to clear her senses from Sinister's scent.

"Fine. As it should be," Sinister said, turning back around to face Sean, "Which will it be, Mr. Cullen? Life or death? Me? Or Josephine?" He held his hand out for Sean to take.
Sean looked back at Jo and then to Sinister. His arm raised for Essex's, outstretched.Then it balled into a fist, and with a magnetic push, the blade fired from Sean's arm, and lodged into Sinister's forehead. "Go away," he repeated, his eyes welling in pained tears.
Sinister stumbled back, and yanked the blade from his face, "Insolent bastard child," he cried, "Your blood will stain this house the same as it did my families centuries before!" He tossed the blade to the ground, turned, and disappeared, in another orbital bounce.

Josephine's eyes widened and she was back by Shrapnel's side she chuckled slightly, her nose and lips gently touching his neck in affection, "That was amazing that the most pissed off I've ever seen Sinister," she told Shrapnel before her eyes widened a little as warmth spread from her skin to Shrapnel, somehow her healing abilites were working again, just enough to stop the bleeding so Shrapnel could heal a little.

Sean began to feel its effects instantly. The haze in his head cleared ever so slightly, but he could feel oriented again. He looked up, his eyes bloodshot, "I'm sorry..." he said, breathing heavy still, "He shouldn't have been here. I shouldn't have done that. Not here..."

"Shhh it's fine Sean as long as you're okay, I doubt he'll be back anytime soon," Josephine said putting a finger to Sean's lip her nose and lips still tracing along his neck as she healed him, "Let me know when you can at least limp so I can help you into a bed to rest," she told him.

"I'm fine," Sean said, forcing a smile, "Just leave me here, I'll sleep it off..." He looked up at her, and his un-bloodstained arm reached up and clasped onto her shoulder, "I didn't want to leave you alone," he told her.

"Nonsense, come on," Josephine said wrapping Shrapnel's arm around her shoulder and she helped him gimp his way up a flight fo stairs to s room with a large canopy bed. She had him lay down and she sat on the edge of the bed beside him. She was silent for a moment before she laid down beside Shrapnel her swollen stomach just barely touching his side as she looked up at him, her hand clasped in his so that she could continue healing him, 'thank you for staying," she mumbled to him her cheeks flushing.

"Thank you for telling me the truth," he said, his eyes getting heavy. He closed them to conserver energy, and before long, he was asleep, passed out from the pain. But he didn't let go of her hand.

"Someone has to look out for you Sean," Josephine murmured back closing her eyes, her forehead drifted and rested against Shrapnel's shoulder and she fell asleep as well.

Sean woke up an hour later. His limbs ached, but the bleeding had ceased. There would be bruising, lots of it, stitches maybe. And he'd have to replace the blade in his arm.
He looked up at the ceiling, not caring if Jo was awake or not. "You said I have a brother... who is he?"
