"Mommy, is he my daddy?" asked Luna.
"Wait a sec," said Evan. "If she's his kid, then that would mean that.. Oh my god."
"You had sex!?" exclaimed Kurt.
"Yes, okay!" snapped Pietro, cheeks red. "Now don't you tell anyone!"
"Alright, Tro!" said Todd.
"You the man!" said Freddy.
"Don't be happy for me! I have a kid now!"
Luna walked up to Pietro. She looked up and he looked down.
"Are you my daddy? I've been waiting a long time to meet you."
Pietro didn't know what to say or do. After a few seconds, he bent down and picked her up.
"I guess I am. Nice to meet you, Luna."
Pietro smiled at her. She smiled too.
"She must be his kid," said Scott. "She has his eyes, nose, and skin color."
"I don't think she is," said Rogue. "I bet she's someone else's kid and Crystal is just saying Pie's the father."
"There is a way to find out," said Jean. "Crystal, if you and Luna would come to the Institute, we could do a blood test."
"Alright. Hang on a sec."
She walked over to her sister.
"I have to. I'll catch you later."
"Okay," said Medusa.
"Let's find out the truth," said Lance.
They were in the infirmary so they could draw blood from both Pietro and Luna.
Pietro went first.
"This won't hurt too much," said Hank.
"Whoa! You're using a needle?" asked Lance.
"How else can they draw blood?" said Scott.
"Lance, you're not, like, afraid of needles, are you?" asked Kitty.
"Of course not! But I don't like them. They hurt like hell."
"I'm scared," said Pietro. "Hold my hand?"
Scott snickered.
"Don't laugh at him!" yelled Lance.
"I'm not laughing at him," chuckled Scott. "I'm laughing at you. He's getting blood drawn and you're the one who's scared."
"I'm not scared of needle!"
"Who cares?!" yelled Wanda. "Right now we need to find out if Pietro is the father of this kid!"
Lance squeezed Pietro's hand and Hank stuck the needle in.
"Ow! That hurt!" cried Pietro.
"Take it easy on him!" yelled Lance.
"No! My hand! You're crushing it!"
"Oh, sorry!"
"There," said Hank. "Done."
"Luna," said Ororo. "It's your turn."
"I'm kinda scared, Miss Munroe," said Luna.
"I'll hold your hand," said Pietro. "And I won't squeeze too tight."
They took some blood from her.
"Now what?" asked Scott.
"We'll compare Pietro's blood to Luna's to see how close a genetic match they are," said Charles.
They all waited in the living room.
"I hope you know you're stupid," Logan said to Pietro.
"I know."
"This isn't your fault," said Lance.
"How did it happen?" asked Fred.
"You seriously don't know how it works?" asked Scott.
"Not at all."
"Ask your health teacher," said Logan.
"So, Luna," said Charles. "How old are you?"
"Eight, Mr. X."
"You have any powers?"
"Yes."
"What are they?" asked Ororo.
"She's an empath," said Crystal.
"A what, yo?" asked Todd.
"An empath," said Pietro. "You know how the word empathy is to have sympathy or feel what others feel. An empath's power has to do with emotions."
Luna nodded. "I'm able to sense, remove and alter emotions. And I can 'see' the feelings of others."
"See feelings?" asked Lance.
"I see auras."
"Auras?" asked Evan.
"Auras, she can see their entity, their feelings, emotions, and she can tell if a person is good or evil," said Crystal.
"That's all she can do?" asked Todd. "What a lame power, yo."
Pietro punched Todd hard in the stomach.
"Ow! I mean in battle! Otherwise it's a good and useful power!"
"It is," said Pietro. "No power is useless."
Charles nodded.
"The results are in," said Hank.
"And?" said Logan.
"Pietro is Luna's father."
"Told you," said Crystal.
"Man, Tro, you're a dad," said Lance.
"Yeah," said Pietro. "Oh man."
"Taking care of a child isa lot of work and responsibility," said Kurt.
"I know."
Luna ran over and hugged Pietro's leg.
"Daddy."
Pietro picked her up.
"Hi, Lunny. How do you like Earth?"
"It's nice. And big. When I first came I said, Is this Earth? Why does it smell so bad?"
"You must've smelt Todd," said Lance. "Or Blob cut the cheese."
"Hey!" they both yelled.
Everyone laughed.
"Pietro," said Crystal. "The parent must always do what's best for the child."
"Right," said Pietro. "So, maybe you could move here in Bayville so I can see Luna often. And we can do this custody thing. I can take her on the weekends and holidays."
"Actually, I was thinking we get married."
Married? Oh boy.
