Rogue follows Kitty through the small drugstore located a couple miles outside of Bayville. It shouldn't be this embarrassing to buy a pregnancy test. She thinks as Kitty leads her through the aisles. As far as anyone here knew she was happily married and trying to get pregnant. Then again, maybe it was different when you were trying to conceive. All she knew is that she didn't want anyone from school seeing her make the purchase. Especially, someone who could mention it to Remy.
"We should probably get you one that says it clearly with words." Kitty says, as they approach the shelf that stored the condoms and plan b pills. "The one that you had just had the lines." Kitty was doing all of this just to make her feel better, Rogue was aware of it. She couldn't help to feel grateful for the valley girl playing along like they both didn't know what the answer was most likely to be. "This one is supposed to be extremely accurate."
"Thanks." Rogue says, as she takes the test from the other girl. "Can Ah ask ya somthin?" She asks, her voice dropping to a whisper. When Kitty nods, Rogue continues. "Have you ever had to…" The southern girl trails off.
Kitty's cheeks sprout up in a pink tint. "Well…uh, like…..once." Her eyes dart around the store making sure no one was within ear shot. "I was late once, with Lance. It was just a couple days, but I like totally freaked. So, I made him go buy me one. I think he was more scared about it than I was."
Rogue nods, as she picks up a package of gummi bears that was located on the end of the aisle to hide the test until she could make it to the self-checkout. "What about you and Peter?"
"We haven't gotten there yet." Kitty says, as they checkout. "He's old-fashioned. He wants to, like, take it slow."
"Ah wish Ah would have." Rogue mutters, only half meaning it. She and Remy had, had fun together outside of sex, but she did enjoy it.
"I do too." Kitty admits, her face dropping slightly. "I thought me and Lance were going to be, like, forever. Apparently, he didn't feel the same way."
The ride back to Bayville was quiet. Rogue had decided to wait until later that night before taking the test. Remy was still gone on a private mission for the Professor and wasn't expected back until at least midnight, so she wouldn't have to worry about him wanting to spend time with her.
A million things were going through her mind the rest of the day at school. She still had three months before graduation. She didn't have an official job, she just had the allowance that the Professor gave her like he did the other kids who didn't have parents back home to help support them. Would he cut her off once he learned she was pregnant? Should she get an abortion? Would she kill the baby if she touched it? Would she have to have a C-section? Would her powers absorb the baby and cause a miscarriage? What would Remy want? He wasn't the type of guy who wanted kids, he had mentioned how careful he was when it came to sex. Did that mean he never wanted them? What would Logan think? What would the team think?
When she finally made it home she went straight to her and Kitty's shared room and locked the door. She just wanted to be alone.
"Have you taken it yet?" Kitty asks, as she phases through the wall a couple hours later.
"Not yet."
"You should, Rogue. Putting it off won't change the results."
Rogue groans, grabbing the test she stuffs it into her shower caddy before going to the bathroom.
She stalled looking at the answer on the test. Opting to set it down on the counter to shower and brush her teeth before finally coming back to it. It had been about half an hour at that point since she had taken it, plenty of time to tell her she was mistaken. That the other test was a fluke and she wasn't pregnant. That this was some kind of sick joke the universe was playing on her to show her she wasn't ready for a child and should have never been having sex in the first place.
Picking up the test, the emerald eyed girl looks down at the results. "Fuck."
