They'd fallen asleep like that, fully clothed. When Wanda awoke, at first she wasn't sure where she was. A blue, fuzzy arm around her reminded her of earlier that day. She turned, seeing Kurt still asleep. A golden eye slit open, then he shifted with a yawn.
Wanda leaned forward and kissed him, pulling his face to her with her hands. He kissed back, and the shifted together, her underneath him. He was careful about her belly, but brought one hand to it as they kissed. It had been a long time since they'd been physical with each other, and the more they kissed, the more Wanda yearned for it. She needed him, right now.
Her hands moved down his body, first slipping under his shirt. She stroked them down further, pulling on his pants, her hand working the button. As she dipped her hand into his pants, he tensed and pulled away from her.
"What are you doing?" he arched a brow.
She furrowed hers at him. "What do you think?" she leaned in to capture his lips again.
He pulled back. "Wanda," he sighed. "I can't do that."
She sat up on her arms. "What are you talking about?" she looked at her growing belly. "You have."
"I know," he paused. "But, the baby."
"What about her?" she asked.
"What if-" he paused again. "What if I hurt her? What if I… bump into her or something?"
Wanda rolled her eyes, sitting up fully. "Kurt," she sighed. How did she even begin to explain?
Before she had a chance, he made a face. Looking to her he frowned. "We're busted."

Professor Charles Xavier sat across from the two young mutants, his fingers steepled. "We have strict rules about this, Kurt," he addressed the boy. "You know this."
"Ja," Kurt nodded. "I was going to bring her to you, Professor."
"I am aware," he answered. "But you took her to your room first. And you're cutting school."
"She was upset," Kurt frowned, gesturing to her. "We discussed it, Professor. She's my first priority."
"Kurt," he started. "I admire your want to protect her and your child. But still, we need to follow the rules." He paused. "I will not be punishing you, but I ask that you follow the rules in the future. As for you, Miss Maximoff," he turned to Wanda. "I suppose we will have to find a place for you."
"I want to stay with Kurt," she told him.
"I'm afraid that's not possible," Xavier responded. "We have a responsibility to our students, and to the parents of our students, to not encourage any sexual behavior. As such, we'll be finding you a room in the girls' dorms."
Wanda sighed, looking to Kurt. He gave her a small smile, with a shrug.
"It's temporary, Miss Maximoff," Xavier told them. "You see, we're not equipped to deal with the unique needs of an infant. As well, I have no intention of putting mother and child on one side of the institute, with father on the other." He looked to Kurt. "I am trying to find a suitable place for the three of you, that will still fulfil our standards and rules. Until then, we'll have to settle with what we have."
Kurt nodded, and reached out to take Wanda's hand. She took his as well, and he gave it a squeeze.
Xavier smiled at them. "I will have everything settled in the hour."

Kurt helped Wanda pack her things at the boarding house, and bring them to the institute. Thankfully, no one was around when they 'ported back and forth. By the time they had her stuff moved, Xavier had allocated her a room, between Kitty and Rogue.
Wanda sat heavily on the bed as Kurt put down the last bag. She let out a breath, her hand going to her stomach. She moved to stand again, to reach for a box, but Kurt stopped her.
"Sit," he told her. "You tell me where it goes, and I'll unpack."
She sat again, and began directing Kurt with her things. He was swift, getting most of it unpacked rather quickly. As he worked, she lay back, her hand stroking slowly over her stomach. Their daughter began to move, and Wanda gasped as she felt the poke on the outside of her stomach.
"What is it?" Kurt turned at the gasp. Wanda simply reached out and took his hand, pressing it to her stomach. After a few beats, there was another kick. Kurt's eyes widened, and he looked up to her.
Wanda smiled wide at him. "Can you believe it?"
"Mien kliene lieber," Kurt knelt down in front of her, pressing his cheek to her stomach. There was another soft poke, making him laugh. "She's strong!"
Wanda nodded. She'd been feeling the baby for weeks, and loved now being able to share this experience with him. They sat a few more moment, Kurt against her, the baby kicking every so often. Wanda lifted her hand to run her fingers through his hair. As mundane as it was, she wanted to burn this memory into her mind forever.

By the time Wanda was fully unpacked and settled, the other kids were coming home from school. She and Kurt had found their way to the TV room, settling in for a movie. She lay on the couch, her head against his shoulder, comfortably. When they heard the door slam open, and the voices of the others, she shot up and moved away from him, out of habit.
Kitty entered first. "Kurt! Where have you been all…" she trailed off at Wanda, sitting beside him on the couch.
Rogue and Evan followed behind, each stopping as well. "What's she doing here?" Evan quirked a brow.
Kitty's eye went to Wanda's belly, now entirely obvious. She leaned to Rogue. "I knew it. Didn't I tell you?" she whispered.
Kurt looked to his friends and his girlfriend. "She lives here now. She's moved in today."
Evan still looked on dubiously. Rogue crossed her arms. "She's an X-Man now, then?"
"No," Kurt shook his head. "She needs a safe place for her."
"Cause she's pregnant, right?" Kitty jumped in. She looked to Rogue again.
Wanda sighed. The drama, the scandal! "Yes," she told her.
Kurt reached out and took her hand. He smiled at her, then turned to his friends. "We are having a daughter."
His friends expressions changed, their mouths literally dropping open. Kitty was the first to speak. "Are you, like… what?!"
"What do you mean we?" Rogue demanded.
"Wanda and I," Kurt clarified. "The baby is mine."
"Oh man," Evan sighed. He closed his eyes and threw his hands up. "Ok, I quit." And walked out of the room.
The girls looked after him, then turned back to the couple on the couch. "How did you end up getting Wanda pregnant?!" Kitty asked.
Wanda scoffed. "Is sex ed that bad?" she mumbled.
Kurt ignored her, looking to his friend. "We've been dating for a year." He looked to Wanda. "She's my entire world."
Kitty continued to stare. "But-" she paused. "But she's-"
"You're with Lance," Kurt countered.
"That's different!" Kitty threw her hands up. "Lance isn't crazy."
Wanda's expression turned angry. She stood, shakily, and glared at Kitty. "You don't know anything about me."
"Wanda," Rogue started.
Wanda just looked between the two of them, and felt a need to be away from them. She pushed past and headed up to her room.
Kurt met her there. "Wanda!"
She looked to him. "That's what they think of me? Crazy Wanda, huh?"
He sighed. "You're right, they don't know you," he moved closer to her. "Very few people do. I'm lucky enough that you let me get to know you." He placed a hand on her arm. "Don't be mad at them."
She shook her head. "What am I supposed to feel? It's like everyone is against me today!"
"I'm not," he told her. "And who else matters?" He pulled her close. "It's you and me, Wanda. At least, until it's you and me and…." He paused. "Gemma?"
Wanda smirked, and shook her head. "Better than Marlena, though."
