That night, the professor showed them his surprise. He bought dressers, a crib that would turn into a bed when the baby got older, a changing table and a rocking chair. It was all in cherry wood. This was Kitty's favorite.
Five months later
Rogue and Amara helped Kitty walk into the house. Lance carried the baby in followed by Kitty's parents, the Brotherhood and the rest of the X-Men bearing all her gifts.
"Five months of puking, mood swings, and crying paid off", Pietro said slapping Lance on the back. "This kid is the cutest baby since I was born." "Pietro, you are so full of yourself", Rogue laughed. Kitty smiled. Ever since she announced her pregnancy, everyone was really cool about it. The X-Men and the Brotherhood were getting along great.
"Lance Marcus Alvers", Kitty said holding the baby in her arms. He's perfect. Lance took Marcus from Kitty. Kitty wanted to name him after Lance but she also liked the name Marcus, so that's what they called him. "Welcome home Marcus." he said smiling at his new son. He held Marcus any chance he got. He also beamed over his new son every chance he got. He loved to show off his pictures of Marcus to his co-workers, friends, and anyone else.
The professor came in to see the baby. He didn't get to come by the hospital, because a new mutant had come to the mansion, but he did send flowers. Lance pouted in a joking way as he handed his son to the professor. The professor smiled as he held Marcus. Kitty had been like a daughter to him, so Marcus was like his adopted grandson. No doubt this baby would be spoiled.
Kitty watched as the professor smiled at the baby. Her heart dropped for a moment as the professor's smile faded into a frown. "Professor? Is something wrong?" Kitty asked. "Kitty, may I speak to you and Lance in private?" he asked her and Lance telepathically. Kitty nodded as she excused herself and Lance to go into their bedroom with the professor.
AH!!! What's gonna happen? Is something wrong with Marcus?
