Dangers of Living with Babies
Chapter One:
Xavier and Logan
" Babies are contagious. Like Colds or the Plague"
" Just think about it know I'm right" Logan states. He is leaning against the bookshelf in Xavier's office,while Xavier is busy writing at his desk. "MmmHmm" mumbles Xavier. He's heard this rant for months. Logan had been obsessed with it. Really it was His own fault. He was the one that sent Logan to that seminar. He just hadn't wanted to go himself. He was very busy. " Your not listening Chuck." Logan states. Xavier sighs and put put down his pen. " Logan, I do believe your concern is unfounded." "UNFOUNDED?! It is not unfounded . I saw all their statistics and charts. I'm telling you Chuck, we're sitting on a time-bomb here. And you don't care! " Logan rants. Xavier rubs his head tiredly, they'd had this fight before. " I DO care . But it's not a real concern here Logan " Logan stares at him pointedly before stating " I'm sure that's what they all say Charles. Until it starts. And by then it's to late" Xavier sighs and turns back to his desk. There was no reasoning with Logan over this. There just wasn't. At times like this Xavier would give anything for an explosion, or fire, or enemy attack. Something to detract Logan.
Logan could tell Xavier wasn't going to listen to him. He just didn't understand. He wasn't there. He didn't see all those charts. Just thinking about it made Logan shudder. It was terrifying He didn't think he could save his sanity if it began. Shuddering again, he decides to try one more time. " I'm Tellin you Chuck. Babies are contagious Like colds or the plague." Logan practically yells slamming his fist on the desk. Xavier wonders if it possible to sedate him. Because this subject just kept getting worse. At first it was only occasionally Then it was anytime he saw one of the girls smile at Kaitie ( Luckily most of them were still terrified of the baby, so smiles seemed to be limited to Kitty, Jean, and Ororo.) Then it was every time he saw Kaitie. Now it had progressed to all the time. He didn't t sleep anymore. Patrolling the halls all night long, convinced he alone could prevent the disaster he was sure was coming.
Logan had gone to a seminar nearly three months ago,in hopes of learning how to cope with the addition of an infant to a houseful of teenagers. At Xavier's insistence He was told to bring home any literature they offered and Xavier would look it over later. Logan had come home completely horrified. Their charts and speeches convinced him that now that they had one baby at the school, all the other girls would be jumping at the idea of having one themselves. Nothing Hank, Ororo, or Xavier said could convince him otherwise. Because they didn't see the charts.
" It's only a matter of time Chuck. We need to talk to them about it now. Before it's to late. " Logan states,now pacing in front of Xavier's desk. " I can't take it Charles. Another Kaitlyn. I think I would go insane." At the mention of Kaitlyn, Xavier shudders and takes a swallow of the whiskey he now keeps in his top drawer before stating " I understand Logan. I really do. But do you really think they've forgotten your presentation already? It was last week after all" Logan grumbles in frustration. Xavier's always stubbon like this. He refuses to allow Logan to pull out his charts and horror stories more often than once a month. Clearly he doesn't understand the danger they're in. Because he spends all day locked in his office. Playing Sudoku. Logan storms out, giving up for the day.
As Logan storms into the kitchen he spots Rogue feeding Kaitlyn in her highchair. Kaitlyn sees him and squeals happily. She immediately 'poofs' into his arms. Logan can't get used to that. She apparently does it on purpose. At least sometimes. Rogue smiles at the baby and takes her back. " She's just saying 'hi' Logan" she says to the paling teacher. As usual, he is now having visions of babies. Dozens of babies. With mutant powers. Kaitie, unhappy with being removed from her target, begins to cry. Pulling out the extinguisher, Logan quickly puts out the cupboards behind him before pulling a beer from the fridge. " So what are you two up to today?" he asks. " Well, I was thinking we'd go visit Remy for awhile, then hit the playground." Logan chokes at the mention of that boy " I might be able to talk Kitty into watching her for awhile this afternoon,if you wanted help on your bike" she finishes hopefully. Logan nods, now having visions of Rogue. Moody angry Rogue. Pregnant. That might be worse than more babies. Maybe. He needed to go to the bar. Or get on some of those anti-stress pills. He left the kitchen looking for Hank. After getting those pills he was going to go talk to Charles. Because Chuck had to understand how dangerous this was. Somehow he had to make Charles see it. He'd go grab his charts first.
