Okay so this is a story I've been working on for a while. It's a pretty weird story, and don't even ask were the idea for it came from, I don't even know. So, sit back and enjoy.
'This is so unbelievable.' I thought as I held a small bundle in my arms. She slept peacefully in my arms completely content it was hard to believe she was even there. I smiled and kissed her forehead lightly careful not to wake her up. The small purple blanket she was wrapped was soft and warm. Just like the soft sheets around me that made me feel like I was wrapped in a cocoon, these were way softer than the ones they gave us for our rooms.
"Kitty" I turned to Hank who was holding the little bundle in my arms twin.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I'm done with her, can I see the other one?" he asked. I nodded my head and we cautiously swapped babies, careful not to wake either one. Hank walked over to the other side of the room and started doing tests on her just like he'd done on the other one a minute earlier. Wow, I really need to give them names. I felt a slight stirring in my arms and I looked down. She had her eyes open and was staring up at me blankly.
"Hey there" I said quietly. I gently stroked her cheek, the skin was soft it was like, well, a baby's skin. "Hi, I'm your mommy" I said quietly. My eyes suddenly widened at what I said. Wow, I'm a mommy, 2 hours ago I didn't even know I was pregnant. No this isn't like one of those freaky I didn't no I was pregnant stories. Actually I seriously have no idea what happened, Hank is still running tests. I know for a fact I wasn't pregnant a month ago, because Jean gave me a physical so I could play softball and I'm pretty sure she would have told me if I was pregnant.
"Okay we're done with this one." I jumped slightly and looked up at Hank . "Sorry I startled you."
"Its okay" I said. I smiled down at the little baby in my arms.
"So, I'm guessing you're not going to give them up for adoption." he said.
"Of course not" I said shocked. "I could never do that, they're my flesh and blood" I said. "Right?" I asked worried.
"Yes" he said laughing. "These two are one hundred percent your children." he reassured me. But I guess a small part of me was hoping they weren't. I mean I'm still a teenager unexpectedly having twins is a big shock and huge responsibility.
"Where did they come from?" I asked. It had been gnawing at me since this all happened. I mean seriously one minute I'm a carefree seventeen year old happily listening to Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe, and the next thing I know I'm in the most horrific pain of my life! It was so bad I thought I was dying. Thank god Hank happened to be nearby. Although when he told me I was giving birth I had thought he'd gone crazy. It was seriously just like the I didn't know I was pregnant show!
"I'm not completely sure, but I have a pretty good idea." he told her. I sat up slightly. "Do you remember that guy you fought about nine months ago, Makba?" He asked.
"Yeah, weird dude. He showered me in a strange bright light, but it didn't do anything. And then he cryptically said I'd know what it did later on." My eyes widened and I starred at Professor McCoy opened mouthed. "Did that loser get me pregnant?" I asked completely terrified.
"I believe so, but I don't think he's the father" I sighed happy he wasn't my girls daddy. "When I was looking for causes of this, something caught my attention on the web. A string of the mysterious pregnancies have followed him. And he registered in the mutant database about a week ago, his power is listed as being able to make women pregnant, that was what that bright light did. But he can't be the father of the babies, the father is the first male to come in physical contact with the girl he's impregnated. And another part of his power is that once the girl is impregnated all signs of the pregnancy are masked, so that nothing seems different." Hank explained.
"Wow" I said, my mind completely blown to smithereens.
"Yeah, pretty crazy" Hank said smiling. There was a sudden quiet silence that was borderline awkward. We both turned as we heard the door whoosh open and saw Storm walk in carrying a bassinet.
"Hey, Storm" I said smiling.
"Hey, how are things?" she asked setting the bassinet down next to the bed I was on, the bassinet looked like it weighed a ton. But it was so beautiful it was made of a gorgeous dark wood, it had lacy white bedding and a little covering over it.
"Great, we figured out how I got pregnant." I told her.
"Wouldn't, you get pregnant by-" Storm started.
"Whoa, whoa, no, I am still a virgin" I cried defensively. Storm raised her eyebrow questioningly.
"Why don't I explain to Storm what happened." He said. He put my daughter he'd been holding in the bassinet and walked with Storm into another room. I sat up and carefully set the other baby in the bassinet. Ya know I can't just calling them the baby, or the other ones twin. I studied the two little girls trying to think of two names that would fit the two of them the best. Thank god they weren't identical, or else I would have already mixed them up. The one I had been holding was staring wide eyed up at me. She had brown hair and green eyes and a cute little button nose. The other one had blonde hair and brown eyes and had a tiny birthmark on her hip shaped like a fruit loop. "Hm, how about Tina. No, Jordan, Lily, Amanda, Lauren, no none of those sound right. Oh I got it, Kaitlynn!" She continued to stare up at me blankly. "That's your name, Kaitlynn, I think I'll call you Kattie for short." I reached over and picked her up. "Do you like that Kattie" I said in Baby talk holding her closely. "Now we just need to find a name for your sister. I carefully held Kattie in one arm and picked up her sister with the other. She was still sleeping peacefully. "Hm, how about Madison, Maddy for short." She stayed silent and the only way I knew she was alive was her chest slightly going rising and falling. "I'll take that as a yes" I said speaking baby talk. "ya know I've only known you two for a few hours but I think I already love you both."
"Seems you've already bonded" Storm said. I looked up and Storm and Hank were walking over to me.
"Yeah" I said. I kissed Kattie and Maddy's foreheads and held them close.
"Hey, can I see the one with brown hair?" Hank asked.
"Here names Kaitlynn" I told them.
"Oh, you picked names for them" Storm said sounding surprised.
"Yeah Kaitlynn, Kattie for short." I said Handing her over to Hank. "And Madison, Maddy for short" I said cradling Maddy.
"Those are great names" Storm said sitting beside me on the bed.
"I thought so too" I told her. I looked back down at Maddy, and Maddy stared back. "Hey there look who finally woke up." I said touching her thin blonde hair.A second later she started whaling. "Oh, I bet you're hungry." I said, because it didn't smell like she went to the bathroom.
"Oh, I got you some baby formula from the store. I'll go prepare a bottle for her, and one for Kattie too, she'll probably be hungry soon too." Storm said standing up.
"Okay, thanks" I told her. I cradled Maddy and tried to make her crying stop. "Shh, shhh, sweetheart, Storm is getting you a bottle, just wait a minute." She quieted down slightly but a whimper escaped her every few seconds.
"Wow, you're pretty good with kids." Hank said.
"Yeah, well I have 3 younger siblings and I helped raise them, so I picked up a few things." I told Hank.
"Hey guys I'm back." Storm came in holding two baby bottles and two big grocery bags. "Here" she handed us the bottles and as soon as I put the bottle near Maddy and she started sucking on it like a little vacuum. "They are both so adorable." Storm told me, and I faintly nodded my head. "Oh, and while I was out I got you some starter stuff." I looked and she was holding up the two grocery bags. "Lets see, I got three packs of onesies with cute little sayings on the them" She help a yellow one that said 'Instructions Not Included' and a green one with a little yellow ducky.
"Oh my god those are so cute!" I squealed.
"I got some little blankets, a bunch of diapers that I left up stairs in the kitchen, baby towels." She held up two hooded baby towel one had ducks and the other butterflies. They were so cute I wish I had one that was my size. "Pacifiers, a little baby bath tub which is upstairs, baby lotion, some little socks" she said holding up a pack of baby socks. And I heard myself aww like an idiot. "Some baby wash, burp clothes, and washcloths, just the necessities." Storm said.
"Thank you so much, Storm" I told her.
"It was no big deal" She said hugging me. "It was the least I could do."
Maddy started wriggling around in my arms so I glanced down. She was finished with bottle and I could tell she was about to start crying. "Storm can you hand me a burp cloth?" I asked. Storm ripped open the plastic packaging and handed me a green cloth. I set it on my shoulder and lifted Maddy up. I gently patted her on the back until I heard a small whimpery burp. "That's better isn't it?" I asked Maddy not really expecting a reply. I mean shes a baby all she can do is eat, sleep, and poop.
"And Kitty don't worry about all the other baby stuff." Hank told me. "You can order it online using the school credit card, don't worry about a thing."
"Okay that's great, there's just one other thing." I said. "Who is Maddy and Kattie's father?"
