One week after Kaitlyn Arrived
(Or just after The Adventures in Babysitting ended)
.
.
Ms. Therapist ( who for some reason no one bothered to learn's name) arrived early on a Monday afternoon. She always tried to arrive early, so that she could get Remy out of the way before Logan decided he'd over stayed his welcome again. She was greeted by a harassed and slightly singed Storm. In the background she heard a high pitched scream. At first she thought someone was hurt, but then she saw Kurt run by,still screaming.
"... What was that about?" Ms Therapist questioned.
" Do you really want to know?" Storm questioned tiredly.
"...No?" she replies while watching Bobby chase after Kurt yelling "C'mon it wasn't THAT scary!"
Storm nods and leads her down to her usual office, where she calmly creates a tiny cloud to put out a nearby fire. Kitty is waiting patiently on the bench outside of the office, texting on her hot pink cell phone and chewing gum. Next to her sat Gambit, dressed casually in a white t-shirt and blue jeans, though the shirt appeared to be covered in soot. Rogue was notably absent a scorch mark behind her usual spot.
" Okay,Come right in Kitty" the therapist says.
-Kitty-
"...So , like, this has totally been a like stressful week. Like first the sale that I was like totally planning on going to for like the last month, ended before school let out. Then like no one would eat my yummy cranberry pineapple cherry cookies. Rogue became a mom. and like, I'm totally failing gym and I'm totally never babysitting again,like ever.
The therapist,now used to Kitty's rambling, picked the least headache subject to begin with... " Okay, so Kitty, why do you think no one would eat the cookies?"
" I totally don't know! I mean,like I know I mixed up the salt and sugar canisters but I totally like caught it after the first cup." Kitty says throwing her hands in the air. ( Ms Therapist is to be commended on her ability to hide her total disgust at this statement). "... That's to bad,Kitty. I'm sure they were wonderful cookies" Ms Therapist states,preparing to change the subject. However, Kitty perks right up at her sympathy. " Like,really?! Here I have a few of them, in like my purse." Kitty states,pulling out the offending cookies,much to Ms Therapists dismay.
"...I'm sorry Kitty, I'm on a special diet and am not allowed baked goods." Ms Therapist states thinking fast. After Kitty returns the offending cookies to her purse, Ms Therapist questions her about her shopping trip.
" Oh yeah, so like, I headed to the mall straight from school. But,like as soon as I got there, I totally realized that like the sale was over. So then after I like calmly called Rogue what happened, and like for some reason she laughed for like five minutes... maybe because I had, totally, promised to get her this totally cute hot pink sundress. But like for some reason she, like asked me not to, but totally not that nice." Kitty says,sighing " So then I like went in anyway, but like because the sale was over I was only able to like get this one really cute cardigan."
"...So why are you failing gym?" Ms Therapist asks
"...WAAAAHHH!" Kitty cries, very loudly, before standing and floating through the door. No matter how many times she saw it,it still freaked the therapist out a little when she did that.
Rogue-
Ms Therapist was busy writing her notes when Rogue walked in, she didn't bother to look up, simply stating that Rogue should have a seat and she would be right with her. A moment passes, before Kaitie sniffles and lets out a short cry to state she was ready for her bottle.
Ms Therapist's notes catch on fire, as does her blouse sleeve. She jumps to her feet,staring at her client, while Rogue hands the baby a bottle and puts out the flames. "... What just happened?!"
" Oh Kaitie did it. She's a firestarter. This is Kaitie, my new baby. Mine and Remy's." Rogue states, she loves freaking people out by putting it that way.
Ms Therapist is clearly confused "...umm, Rogue, that baby is clearly not a newborn. Small,yes but not a newborn. Why haven't you mentioned her before.?"
" Oh because,we only became her parents last week. Well I became her Mommy last week, Remy became her Daddy yesterday." Rogue stated while burping the now sleeping infant. " We even have paperwork to prove it!... and you wanna know the best part,aside from not having to go to Bayville High anymore? (Therapist nods) My personal bubble of doom has increased to room size! The only one who WANTS inside the bubble of doom is Remy... Who is officially my boyfriend... for the last 16 hours."
" So then you're enjoying motherhood?" Ms Therapist questions.
" Yes! Kaitie's the greatest baby on Earth! The fires and teleporting don't bother me or Remy at all... though for some reason everyone else seems to be afraid of it."
Rogue was about to continue,when she noticed Jamie out of the window..Jamie eating donuts. The only donuts in the house were hers, as she had just bought them this morning. Why Jamie felt the need to steal from Rogue,no one was sure, because it always ended the same way. Rogue gently set her daughter in the baby carrier, before calmly walking out of the door.
From there, the sound of Rogue's battle cry and Jamie's screams of fear could both be heard. Luckily the baby slept through the entire thing, and Ms Therapist quickly copied out her notes as Remy walks in.
-Remy-
First, Remy peeked at his daughter, to make sure she was indeed, asleep, before sitting across from Ms Therapist.
" So Remy,...Rogue was a little vague on the details about the baby. "
" Oh, she's adopted. We adopted her after she was abandoned, and now were going to raise her together. It's going to be great! Kaitie is the best little girl any Pere could ask for. She has the world best Maman, and were going to raise her right. She's never ever going to feel unloved or unwanted. and-"
" Umm... Remy, a baby isn't a puppy... you can't just decide to keep it. Babies require a lot of work. It is a very long term commitment. If your doing this just as your latest attempt to get Rogue, then-"
" NON! I would never use a child as a gimmick for anything. She is my DAUGHTER now. It doesn't matter how she came to be here. We have all the necessary paperwork to claim her. It would stand up to the scrutiny of any lawyer or court. And if you can't be supportive, then we have nothing further to speak of." Remy then begins to stand, but is stopped by her apology.
After a moment he continues on as if the previous discussion never happened ( he does this frequently, so she's used to it).
" Anyway, I may or may not need a new phone. Because my father may have answered when I called home yesterday... We may also need another new TV because John was angry with Elmo this morning. I told him to just change the channel, but the remote was all the way over on the bookshelf, and apparently John took offence to Elmo's pronunciation of Wallaby. Personally, I never understood why Piotr changes it to PBS before heading out every morning."
"... So then what happened?"
" Well after John put out the fire, we made a new house rule- Johnny has to put out his own fires, I decided to make us some breakfast, but then I remembered that the stove was destroyed yesterday, and the landlord hadn't replaced it again yet, so I decided to head to the cafe . At which point, Johnny decided it would be a good idea to remind me to get dressed because I slept in boxers last night. I didn't sleep very well, and sometimes when I don't sleep well, I forget to do things. So after I got dressed I realized that all of my clothes were dirty, so I packed up my laundry and came over here for breakfast. Xavier's a great guy, he's always saying it's fine for us to do our laundry here, as long as we don't cause any trouble.
So then after I got here, I realized that I still hadn't put a shirt on, and that all my shirts were dirty, so I borrowed one from Mr Stick up his a-( Remy please, I've asked you to watch your language) Sorry, anyway. Then I went to go hang out with Roguey and the baby, played an awesome game of chase with Logan ( he almost caught me twice), helped make lunch after Xavier told Logan to stop playing chase in the house, and came over here to the bench to wait for you."
"... And have you made any progress with your father related anger that we discussed the last few weeks?"
"... Yes. I may need a new phone, but this time I didn't tell him where to stick his bo staff before I hung up... that may have been because Kaitie started crying as soon as he answered the phone.. What can I say? My daughter has good taste."
With that Remy picked the baby up and left. Ms Therapist sighed. All in all it hadn't been a bad session. At least this week he hadn't blown anything up. She made sure to note that he may need to cut back on the coffee, but otherwise, it was an alright session.
She packs up and heads back out, passing the usual gangs of fighting children, a mob of Screaming Jamies, and Logan growling at a door on her way out. Yes, it was a good week. At least she wouldn't have to replace her briefcase... again.
