Chapter One
It was four days latter after being told she was pregnant that Rogue had finally decided on who she would tell first. While telling Mystique and the Brotherhood where the first on her list, telling some of the others at Xavier's would be more prudent, with all the things that went on they needed to know first. So there where three important people at the institute she felt that she had to tell first: Logan (who she thought of as a older brother), Storm (her mother figure), and lastly but not least her younger brother Kurt. So here she was pacing the Professors office waiting for said three people to show up.
Charles Xavier watched his young charge pace back and forth she was sending off vibes of nervousness and worry. He really did feel sorry for the girl she had been through so much and still things kept happening to her. 'Although, if anyone does hurt her I feel sorry for them. Getting on that young womans bad side is not a good idea.' he thought to himself almost chuckling evilly in his head.
Rogue side again checking herself over again she decided that she looked very good today. Dressed in khaki shorts and a emerald silk cami and tennis shoes she looked like any other normal woman her age 'For once in my life I am actually dressing like how I want.' she thought to herself. She was brought out of her thoughts when the door opened. Logan and Storm walked in together, after there usual greetings they settled in with storm sitting and Logan leaning against the wall with his arms folded. Rogue sighed and gazed back out the window she was standing at while the others chatted about some mundane things.
For the next five minuets Rogue would catch the three adults looking at her intently, which she ignored and waited patiently for her little brother to show up. 'Probably getting something to eat.' she thought while watching Bobby and Ray chase after Jamie. A minute latter an army of Jamie's where chasing them, making Rogue chuckle mentally. 'I will have to remember to buy Jamie something special for that.' After a few more seconds there was a familiar 'BAMF' and the smell of brimstone as Kurt had finally arrived with a sandwich and a coke in hand.
"Sorry, everyone for being late." Kurt said around his food. Without even looking Rogue rolled her eyes and with a sigh "Don't talk with your mouth full Kurt" it was the 167th time she had told him that in the past week. Kurt smiled sheepishly and mumbled an apology for his manners. Rogue looked at each of them for a moment, each one of them where special in there on way to her. The one thing they all had in common was that no matter how hard Rogue had pushed them away from her, they never gave up. Oh, they knew when to give her space and when to get away from her when she was in a bad mood, but they never stopped trying to get closer. Eventually she gave them her trust a little at a time, she didn't want to get hurt again and they knew and respected that.
"Ahem" Xavier cleared his throat and sat up straighter in his wheel chair. "Rogue, I think you should start now." he said rather diplomatically. Rogue glared at him and he shrunk a little in his chair and almost whimpered. She turned back and looked at the her 'family' and sighed. 'Well, here goes nothing.' she thought sarcastically to herself.
"Now, I don't want any interruptions or anything while I am talking this very serious and I will explain every thing first then you can ask your questions understood." once realizing how serious this was they nodded. However, right as she opened her mouth to start explaining Scott, Jean and Kitty fell through the door via Kitty's phasing them in apparently on accident since they all landed in a heap on the floor. Rogue sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose closing her eyes and trying hard not to kill them. Oh, she knew what was going to happen now.
"Professor, as the leader of the X-Men I think me and Jean should stay and listen if this is important ("Hey, like, what about me") and Kitty." Scott said looking warily at Rogue. Jean stood looking smug next to him. 'Why that little..' Rogue's eyes narrowed and she stared the three down making them take a collective step back. Rogue smiled an evil smile motioning for them to take a seat in sweeping hand motion.
"As I have told everyone else, keep your mouths shut until I am finished talking understood?" she asked acidly. The three new comers nodded in consent. "Good" she sneered "For a little while now I have been feeling very weird and ill." she started but both Kitty and Kurt interrupted at the same time. "Why didn't you tell us?" and "Are you like, ok?" They quickly shut up when Rogue growled and sent them such an evil glare that even Logan looked scared. "LET ME FINSIH" she shouted making them jump. With a sigh she began again "Like I said I have not been feeling well. I have been nauseas to the point of actually being sick, also mood swings and dizziness. So I went to Beast and had him check me out. Four days ago he told me the results of the test." Rogue took a deep breath and relaxed a little bit.
"Beast told me that during the time that my powers where in flux something happened. During that period of time I came into skin to skin contact with a male and my DNA picked up 'his' DNA and merged it with mine.(From the look on Storms face she had already figured it out) Although, I am a...Virgin (Realization dawned on Logan and Jeans faces) Beast has informed me that I am now pregnant. Officially one month and two days pregnant as of today." with that she simply left.
She had already discussed it with the Professor that after she told them she was leaving immediately to talk to Mystique and the others. The Professor looked over at the people Rogue had left him with. "I will answer any questions you all have. All of you should know that Rogue has decided to keep the child and raise it no matter who the father is or if they want to take responsibility over the child or not." Seconds latter Charles Xavier was swamped with a million questions and had to call Beast in order for him to help answer all of them. With a sigh he started explaining everything again.
Rogue had grabbed her purse, keys and a shopping list she had made over the last few days before leaving. Jumping into her black jeep she drove off to the Brotherhood's Boarding house. She had looked up some information on the Internet and found an amazing website that gave great detail about each month of pregnancy showing pictures of the baby's development. It had also recommended some great books to help prepare the mother-to-be for everything. As she drove she tried to wrack her brain thinking of who could possibly be the "father" of the child now growing inside of her. It had been such a depressing and drawn out time which only ended a month and two days ago. It had been so hectic that the days had blurred together and she couldn't recall who she had come in contact with.
She pulled into the driveway behind Lance's jeep and parked. Rogue stared at the house for a few moments collecting her thoughts and with a sight pulled her keys out of the ignition and stuffing them into her purse. Grabbing her purse she jumped out and headed to her 'doom'. Oh, telling Lance and the others will be easy it was squaring off with Mystique that she wasn't looking forward to. Squaring her shoulders she made her way to the door and knocked loudly. Mere seconds latter Pietro opened the door and greeted her in his usual manor.
"Roguey-we-weren't-expecting-you-today-so-wonderful-of-you-to grace-us-with-your beauty!" he said like he was speedy Gonzalez. Rogue gave him a tired smile "Hey,Speedy. Could you gather everyone up for me I need to talk to everyone, including Mystique." at the last part Pietro was surprised but nodded and led Rogue to the living room and sped off to gather everyone up. Moments latter booming could be heard as Fred made his way down the stairs. He smiled and greeted Rogue before taking a seat. He was followed by Todd and Lance who greeted Rogue in there usual manner. Lance with a smile and a nod of the head and Todd by hugging her and sitting right beside her on the couch. Moments latter there where shouts, explosions and cussing but eventually Wanda and Tabatha came down stairs as well followed by Mystique and lastly Pietro who sat on the other side of Rogue.
"Ok, I need to talk to you guys. This is serious and I want all of you to be patient and wait until I am done speaking then you can ask questions or whatever ok." at the seriousness of her voice they all nodded and stayed silent. Mystique looked at her daughter for a moment before she sat and nodded as well. Rogue sighed and began to relay the message she told the others earlier except she added more to it. "...so I have decided that I am keeping the baby no matter who the father is. I just wish I had some clue who it could be." she had finally finished with a sigh. She looked at the people in the room and realized that they where thinking about everything she had told them. Mystique was the first to react to the new...
