Chapter 4

A/N: Yay I got more reviews, even though it was only one review I'm happy none the less, keep up the reviewing guys, so I can have ideas to write more. In my opinion this chapter kind of stinks, and it took me a couple of days to write, so this one a well is a little rushed but please bear with me.

Logan walked up to me and gently stroked my cheek and kissed my lips softly. He had that worried look in his eyes. He seemed to be doing that a lot lately, though I guess considering all the stress I've been under lately he has the right to worry about me and my little one. I smiled for him to calm his worry, I was rewarded with Logan's usual smirk as we walked over to the exam table and Logan helped me on it. I would finally get to see what my baby was today, whether it was a girl or a boy, I prayed to every god in the world that Hank wouldn't bring up what Scott had been trying to get me to do for weeks now. Because It was one thing I swore I would never do, and that is take another life, even if it was an unborn life. Lifting my shirt up I smiled a little at my growing stomach, it was still a small swell but one could begin to see it through the clothes I wore, just a little though, while as before it was barely noticeable.

"How are you feeling Ororo?" Hank asked me as I replied with a soft fine.

"Nothing out of the ordinary I should be worried about?" He asked again as I felt the coolness of the gel he squirted on my belly. I didn't have that whine reaction like most women did, My body temperature worked differently, so what would normally be cold to most women was cool to me.

I soon felt the little wand moving across my belly as Beast searched for the baby's heartbeat, I smiled hearing a small sound coming from the machine as I looked over at it and watched Hank try to find where my baby was.

"Ah here we are." Hank said smiling as he showed us the outline of my baby.

"Is it alright?" I asked worried if my baby was okay from all the stress I had been under.

"Its heartbeat is a little fast, So I want to monitor that, just to make sure it doesn't remain that way. Would you like to know what your having Ororo?" He asked.

I nodded silently, smiling. I would finally get to see what my baby was, I had already had a few names picked out and once I found out what my baby was I would choose the name, Technically in Africa we didn't name our children until after they were born, that or a few days after, but I decided to break away from tradition and name my baby once I found out its sex. I smiled as I looked at the screen seeing my baby was a bit shy. Chuckling some I gently rubbed the side of my stomach as i felt my baby squirm a bit and roll over.

"Brilliant idea Ororo." Hank said smiling as he moved the wand a bit. "Looks like you're having a baby girl."

A girl...I felt my heart swell with happiness as I brought a hand to my mouth and leaned my head against Logan as tears of happiness fell from my eyes. A little girl, I could finally have a family, even if shadowking was the father, I wouldn't let him anywhere near my baby, she would see Logan as her father and Logan alone. A sudden thought had come across my mind, along with my happiness came worry and sorrow. That dream I had, They would lock my little girl away, I wouldn't be able to see her again, I couldn't risk that. I couldn't risk losing my baby to Scott and whoever else agreed with his twisted logic. Goddess that would mean I would have to speak with the professor about it, that was something I had dreaded since I figured Xavier thought it was in everyone's best interest that I kill off my child. I would never do such a thing, not now not ever, I want her to be apart of this world, I want to give her a happier life than what I had, though at this rate it seemed her life would only be full of hatred, even so, I'll be the only one in her life to make her smile.

Hank gently wiped the gel off my belly as I sat up slowly feeling my baby roll back over. I smiled a bit and rubbed my belly. "My little baby." I said softly.

I felt Logan kiss my forehead as he placed his hand on my stomach and held me close to him, as if he was afraid that I was going to leave him for good. I wouldn't leave Logan for the world, He seemed to be the only one to actually agree with me on the fact that my child hadn't shown any darkness what so ever. After being helped down from the table I scheduled another appointment in two weeks and Logan and I left the infirmary. Walking down the halls together we passed a few of the students as they waved to us smiling at the fact that we were walking together and seemed happy in each other's company.

Another month passed as did the seasons, winter was beginning to turn to spring and I was now in my fifth month of pregnancy, my once small swell now noticeable though my clothes, and my mood swings, in full 'swing'. As requested by Hank I took a maternity leave, much to early in my opinion, But considering the stress I've been under I suppose Hank did make the right decision. So now I'm just laying here on the couch while the students go about switching to their next class. Hank was covering my classes for me, though there wasn't much to cover since I had everything planned out for months now, all he really needed to do was take roll give them their worksheets, and then have them get in groups and take two groups outside to help care for my garden.

"Having fun?" Rouge asked leaning on the couch.

"Mm?" I asked looking up at her. "No...not really, I took care of what needed to be done and now I'm bored." I replied as I sat up to stretch and rub my stomach.

"So watch some TV then. You can watch soap operas with me." She said and took the remote as she clicked the TV on and turned it to the soap opera channel.

I couldn't quite understand why women watched these shows, there was really no point in them, well unless you were the type of person that liked love triangles and watching women cheat on their lovers for another man and or women, then those were the kind of shows for you. About half an hour into the show I sat somewhat amused leaning my cheek on the pal of my hand as I watched Rouge cry over the show. I don't know why I found it so amusing but I did. I handed her the box of tissues as she blew her nose and I shook my head and looked up at the kitchen door as Xavier came out of it in his floating wheelchair. While I'm on the subject Professor Xavier and I aren't exactly on the best of terms at the moment, ever since our argument about my baby girl, I had stopped talking to the man I considered to be somewhat of a father to me, though he was more of a father to Scott than myself...I wondered if that was why Xavier went so willingly and agreed to Scott's idea of having me abort my baby..

Now there's not a day in my life that I''m thinking about what Scott and the others, say. What right do they have to pass judgment on myself and my child. Aside from Logan, Kurt who seems to pop up every now and again, has somehow kept me out of a possible no coming out of depression. I thank the Goddess that we are good friends. I remember telling him long ago, that i had lost faith many many years ago. Hell I even gave up on the word luck, though when one is a thief, luck is the only thing they have to count on. Speaking of thieves I haven't seen Remy for over a month now, I wonder where he got off to...knowing him he probably went home to the guild to talk business with his adoptive father Jean-Luc. Remy was one of those persons that liked to live their lives to the fullest.

"Ya only live once chere so you gotta live life to its fullest."

He had told me that at one point in time, I wasn't really the type to live my life to the extreme, live it to its fullest yes, but not to the extreme. I heard the roar of a jeep engine and heard it cut off a while later as Logan walked in. I smiled and got up with a bit of difficulty as I silently cursed about my weight and walked to him and kissed his cheek, and then his lips as he returned my kiss with a passionate one.

"How ya feelin?" He asked placing a hand on my belly.

"Do you really want to know?" I asked as I smiled.

I saw a look of uncertainly on Logan's face as he smiled and placed a hand around my shoulder as he walked with me upstairs. I soon felt Logan press me up against my wall and he pinned me there and began to kiss me again, this time more passionately than last time, A slight moan escaped my lips as Logan slipped his hand up my shirt and rubbed my stomach. I felt my baby squirm a bit as I moaned again.

"Logan...don't...the baby" I said as I moaned again.

"I know Ro, I'll be gentle." He said kissing me again.

I felt my baby squirm again, and wanted to place my hand against my stomach to calm her. Unfortunately For me both my hands were pinned against the wall as Logan continued to kiss me and down my body.

Two hours later we both rested in my loft as I pulled the sheets up around my body and looked at my Logan who was out cold for the time being. Getting up slowly I went to my closet and put on a T-shirt and pants as I put my robe on and tied it loosely around my belly as I rubbed my stomach and smiled as my little one slept within me. Walking out of my loft I shut the door softly and walked down the hall, on my way to the danger room wanting to have a nice little evening at the beach.

Sighing some as I entered the observation room I sat down with a slight moan as I complained about how much my back hurt.

"Cerebro Upload my environment program A nice clear water beach for today." I said as I stood and took the elevator down to the room as the program started. I walked to a beach chair sitting down on it and laying back as I watched the waves crash against the sand.

"You still need a name don't you little one?" I asked looking at my stomach and smiling."How about Kida." I said smiling at the name.

"Yes...that's what your name will be, Kida, N'dare Monroe." I said softly as I lay back against the seat yawning as I soon began to fall asleep.
