The Five Times Pyro Babysat
Intro
I've had this idea floating about in my head for a while and just had to write it.
Imagine the scenario – Bobby continues to see Marie for a while after she gets the cure but then realises that he really is in love with John (who of course he went back for and saved at Alcatraz). But by the time Bobby realises his true feelings...Marie is expecting their child. So Bobby moves out of the mansion and into a nearby apartment so he can keep playing teacher and x-man as Marie stays at the mansion to have the baby. John returns to the Brotherhood but is allowed regular leave to go visit his boyfriend (cause we all know Mystique has a soft spot for the little pyromaniac!)
John and Bobby's relationship is merely a by-product in this story – I really just want to concentrate on John and his baby skills – but it is still very much there so if you don't like boy/boy then get the hell outa here. Thank you. (If you like the whole baby idea I could expand it into a longer story...featuring a more in depth look at our favourite fire and ice couple...)
Anyway...in chapter one the baby is only a few weeks old and just gets progressively older until by chapter five she has just celebrated her first birthday.
Really it should be called the five times Pyro was left alone with Bobby's baby as I'm sure not all of them strictly count as babysitting, but that just doesn't sound so good.
Sorry about the ending...I just couldn't get an ending I liked.
