>>** >> >>“Daddy! Daddy!” >> >>Michael smiled as he crouched down and opened his arms >>to await Adam’s hug. He held in his right hand a >>bouquet of pink and white roses for Elena – a peace >>offering for being several days delayed. It amazed >>him at times that Elena was so patient with him but he >>was also grateful because it allowed him more leeway >>to carry on his other duties at Section. >> >>Michael sighed and closed his eyes as his son’s little >>arms hooked tightly around his neck. “Hello, Adam.” >> >>He gave the boy a kiss on the cheek and then stood, >>lifting his son up with him and turned to face a >>smiling Elena. A glimmering of guilt assuaged Michael >>as his gaze settled upon her but he quickly tapped it >>down as he stepped into the role of loving husband. An >>hour later he had showered, changed, and was playing >>with Adam on the living room floor as Elena prepared >>dinner. >> >>As the sound of Adam’s laughter filled the room, >>Michaels thoughts turned to consider what his life >>would have been like if his choices earlier in life >>had been different. <i>Where would he be now?</I> He >>liked to believe that he and Simone would have had a >>chance at a real life together but that wasn’t likely >>considering he didn’t meet Simone until after he was >>in Section. And as for Elena, Michael was truly fond >>of her – she was a good and beautiful woman, a >>wonderful mother, but he doubted they would have ended >>up together if Section had not been involved. If she >>had any true idea of the man he really was Michael was >>certain Elena would have escaped long ago. >> >><i> ‘Stop being so hard on yourself.’</i> >> >>A small sad smile lifted the corners of Michael’s >>lips. He could just imagine Simone saying that to >>him. She’d stand with her feet planted firmly apart >>and her hands on her hips and glare at him. <i> >>‘You’ve made the best of what you could with your >>life. Don’t look back, Michael. Don’t ever look >>back.’</I> >> >>With a small sigh Michael lifted Adam up onto his lap >>and held him close. Thank God for Adam. Despite the >>private misgivings he’d had about establishing a blood >>cover, Adam was the one sure anchor in his life. >> >>Michael’s thoughts turned suddenly to Nikita and the >>last encounter they’d had. She’d completed the last >>mission with high marks except for the small fact that >>Alec Chandler was killed when they’d been under orders >>to bring him in alive. Operations had placed the blame >>squarely upon Nikita and nothing Michael had been able >>to say had changed his mind. >> >>Once Michael had been given clearance to return home >>he had stopped by Nikita’s to check on her. As he had >>suspected, she was sullen and angry at the lies she’d >>been told in the beginning of the mission. She was >>angry too that he’d betrayed the small trust they’d >>begun to establish and Michael had tried to explain >>that he’d had no choice. He did what he had to. They >>all did. That was what being in Section was all >>about. And then out of the blue he’d told her that it >>wasn’t what he would have chosen for the two of them. >> >>Michael’s brows furrowed in a small frown. He >>shouldn’t have told her that. It had been a slip on >>his part to let her know he was beginning to care for >>her. But he couldn’t leave without at least >>attempting to make her understand that if he could >>have changed things, he would have for her. >> >>He was startled out of his thoughts as Elena knelt >>down beside him. She smiled warmly at him and Adam. >> >>“Dinner’s ready, darling.” >> >>Michael pushed all thoughts of Nikita and Section off >>to the side as he concentrated on the mission at hand. >> He leaned over and kissed Elena long and deep and he >>felt her breathing heighten. He pulled away then, >>smiled at the dazed look in her eyes, and then took >>her hand in his. “Come on, Adam,” he said, standing >>and lifting his son with him. “Let’s not keep mommy >>waiting.”
