~Babies do NOT come from the stork...or the hospital~
Chapter One
Friday
" I see... yes... yes we will be there with in the you." Xavier hangs up the phone and turns to Logan. " I'm afraid we must go collect young Mr Maddox from the police station. " Logan turns from his charts, that he had just finished setting up, for the third time today. "...Why?" Logan asks, beginning to become annoyed.
"It appears he tried to purchase a baby from Bayville Medical. " Xavier states,rubbing the bridge of his nose, and wishing he had more tea. The vein on Logan's forehead stands out far enough that you would almost think it was a second nose. " HE WHAT?!" Logan screams. Everybody in the institute pauses in their current activities, wondering who did what, and thankful it wasn't them.
ooOOoo
" What kind of school are you people running there that an eleven year old doesn't know how children are born,anyhow?" asks the police officer in charge of releasing Jamie to his guardians Logan responds through gritted teeth " I personally run the class on this subject, though I feel lessons need to be far more frequent than once a month." Logan is still rather rattled over learning of Rogue's new-found control yesterday...He hadn't been to bed at all last night. " Well I don't think all your students have been paying attention" The officer replies,Logan opens his mouth to answer,but is cut off by Jamie's " Oh, do you mean your Babies are contagious so don't even look at each other speech The officer raises an eyebrow. The vein on Logan's head reappears. Jamie looks at them blankly. This is going to be a long day.
After agreeing that clearly some of the children haven't been paying attention. Logan usher Jamie out the door, Logan muttering about charts and graphs. The officer stares after them for a moment, still wondering what kind of school the Xavier Institute was to have children that unaware. From what the boy said, he was wondering if they were one of those ultra-conservative religious groups that don't believe in mentioning sex. Acting as though it was a bad word. Not that there was something wrong with groups like that. Just, what other explanation was there?
ooOOoo
Logan drives carefully, his fists white against the wheel, and the forehead vein not calmed down... at all. " So do you want to tell me what exactly you were doing kid?" He finally asks, A few minutes before the institute.
" Well you see what happened was..." Jamie begins.
~Earlier that day~
Jamie was trying to catch Kaitie so he could play with her. Rogue was being stingy again. She was still mad over the fishing line/ magnet attempt. Which had been over four hours ago. She was no fun,really. He watched carefully,waiting for an opening. At last he found one, Rogue set the baby on the floor next to her,so that she could mix a bottle. Jamie jumped into action, using his newest 'steal Kaitlyn' plan. It was brilliant It was perfect. It involved fishing line. Jamie had tied a Teddy Bear ( not Rogue's he does learn despite popular belief ) to the fishing line and was slowly leading Kaitlyn away. Today they were going to finish their Pirates game... As long as no one caught them.
Ten minutes later he had Kaitlyn sitting on his bed (not near the edge this time) and he had just climbed onto his dresser when Rogue came in. She was beyond angry. Honestly, no one around here knew how to have fun anymore. He ran, of course, and hid in his tree. While he was waiting for Rogue to give up and go out, an idea came to him. If Rogue was going to be selfish with her baby, and no new ones were popping up yet, despite Logan's claims of it happening any minute now, he would go get one of his own.
After Rogue and Kaitlyn drove off, most likely to meet Remy, he climbed down and went to his room. He needed to get his allowance from his hiding spot. A new baby couldn't cost more than a hundred bucks right? He'd probably even have change,maybe. He'd been saving for almost a year, to buy a scooter. But this was even better.
Jamie took the bus downtown and made his way to the hospital. Where he followed the signs to the nursery. First he stared at all the babies in the nursery,wondering if they let you pick of if they just gave you one at random. He's a little concerned that they didn't have any price tags showing. In fact they all seemed to have name tags, maybe these were the sold ones? Then where the available ones? He looks around until he finds a nurse.
He explains to her how he'd like to buy one of the babies she had available, and asks how much one is. She smiles at him and asks where his parents are . Maybe were one of those things you had to have a grown up's permission before you can buy. So he tells her they sent him to go ahead and pick one out. ( He's seen Jubilee, Amara, and Kitty do this to buy CDs so thought it might work) But then the nurse frowned and called the police.
~Now~
Jamie had finished talking,and they were back at the school. Logan sat quietly for several minutes before stating " Jamie you can't just buy a baby from the hospital. You have to have one of your own, or adopt like Rogue did with Kaitlyn." Jamie frowned at this and asked Logan on the way inside how you 'have' one.
Logan ordered the sex-ed curriculum off the internet later that had next day shipment. Clearly there was a lot for these kids to learn. Meanwhile he was going back to bugging, I mean talking to Xavier, Because the classes needed to be more often,clearly. And he needs some of Xavier's special tea. Because he had a headache. He also needed to hunt up a certain three girls.
