A/N: I'm not sure how I come up with these things. I guess I have a twisted little mind. Read and enjoy. Let me know what you think of this strange story.

Mistakes: by Elizabeth Robbins

I screwed up, big time. I've done some things that, in retrospect, weren't necessarily all that smart but this time...

Everybody does it from time to time. Screw up, I mean. We're only human, or in my case, mutant. I'm not even sure how it started. No... That's not true. I know how it started. I just don't know how it got so out of hand.

I had just found out about the brother I never knew I had. I was so angry and disappointed with Professor Xavier. I remember feeling betrayed. He had known all along about Gabriel. He had known that he was alive and he had sent him to The Living Island to rescue the team. And when the rescue team failed and went missing, he gathered another team and sent them in. Not once, in all the years since that time, has he ever mentioned the Summers he sent into danger. Not once did he tell me that I even had another brother. I guess you can understand why I was so angry.

I have no idea why she was the way she was. All I know was she was there and she comforted me when I needed it the most. I could sense that she was upset about something but I never asked. She always has been very private. I guess I felt like I would be intruding on her privacy.

She's beautiful. That's not very unusual here in the mansion. Most of the women living here are beautiful but that night, she was so vulnerable; almost delicate. She always puts on the mask on the invulnerable woman; the bitch. I think seeing her looking so broken, I wanted to fix her.

God! How could I have been so stupid? I guess it wouldn't have looked so boneheaded except I'm the leader of the team. In all my adult life, I have never had unprotected sex with any woman I wasn't either married to or in an exclusive relationship with, until this time. How in the hell could the leader of the X-Men be so stupid to forget to use a condom? I'll bet Logan's laughing his ass off. The boy scout forgot to take precautions. Oh, yeah. He's having the time of his life right now.

I'm paying for that now. She's pregnant.

Jubilee called me this morning and chewed me out. They were never friends, even when they were on the same team but Jubilee insisted I took advantage of her. Not to mention the hurt I inflicted on Emma Frost. Emma had been her teacher and guardian. Jubilee still feels a little protective of her.

Oh, Emma! I'm so sorry! I wish it had never happened. I wish I had gone to you for comfort.

But I didn't. I have to own up to my responsibilities and take care of her and the baby. I can't marry her. We don't love each other. Hell! We're not even sure we like each other but the baby's mine. I'm going to do right by her.

I'm going to try to be the best father I can. I know I wasn't with Nathan and Rachel. This time, it will be different. I have to show the love because Monet sure as hell won't. She's such a cold bitch.
