"That's our sacred moment, then?" asked Sabertooth, curiously. Bonita quickly nodded when Professor Xavier and Beast came in.
Bonita woke up thinking about that night. She can't seem to forget but she also the daily reminder of the bump that seems to be growing on her body like a mole.
She immediately starts feeling sick and rushes to the bathroom to lose what she had just a few hours. Why am I feeling so sick, thought Bonita. There was a knock at the door and Bonita quickly gathered her composure.
"Come in," yelled Bonita, feeling weak while doing it.
Beast comes into the room looking grim with all that blue fur. There was a smell of the lavender perfume that she didn't recognize him using before she went to Magneto. Even that wasn't helping anything.
"Are you alright?" asked Beast, sounding worried about her. She shook her head as she wraps her arms around her stomach, "I can't stop feeling sick to my stomach." He approached her, putting a palm on her forehead. "You don't have a fever. You must've got the stomach bug that seems to be going around," said Beast, reservedly. The smell of lavender made her sicker in her stomach.
Bonita turned to rush to the bathroom but unfortunately hurled on the floor, missing Beast's Armani suit. As soon as she did that, she fell to the ground, fainting, only to wake up in the hospital wing feeling hungry. Beast sat next to her with Sabertooth at the far end of the bed looking at her. She sat up, feeling disoriented, and clutching her swollen stomach, "Where am I?"
"You are at the wing, Bonnie," said Sabertooth, not sounding to happy. I wish Beast could leave us alone, Bonita heard Sabertooth's line.
"Why didn't you say anything about being pregnant?" yelled Beast. Bonita slowly looked up raising an eyebrow.
"I didn't know I was. Why make such a big deal about me being pregnant, anyway?" said Bonita, still feeling hungry. Then she got a bombardment of Beast's angry rants flooding her mind. "STOP IT!" screeched Bonita, clasping her ears, rocking back and forth in a fetal position on the bed.
Sabertooth growled at Beast, who in turn, growled back. "You do realize that this could be dangerous to have?" asked Beast, still angry at Bonita while worried about her. He couldn't control the beating monster that seemed to be dancing in his chest as he saw her like this.
"How can I? I didn't know this could happen. Why be so angry at me if I don't know what's wrong with me? I can't help myself," said Bonita, feeling helpless, quickly laying on her side facing the opposite side away from Beast.
Sabertooth just stands there not showing any remorse to the child, thought Beast. "Leave her alone," said Sabertooth, still not showing any expression. "I'm hungry. Can I get some fries and burger? And maybe some Chinese stir fry with Shrimp Chow Mein. Please?" said Bonita, almost begging. Beast and Sabertooth both leave the room to get the food.
An hour and half later, Bonita had just finished off a pound of rice with soy sauce when Storm came in. "How are you…" Storm started to say, seeing the leftover food on the bedside table. She looked confused, looking at Beast and Sabertooth who just stood there in absolute awe.
Beast looks at Storm and then back at Bonita who seems to be falling asleep. "How long have she been eating?" asked Storm, quietly, while approaching Beast. "At least 45 minutes," whispered Beast, astonished that she ate that much. She eats like a teenager, thought Beast
8 days later, Bonita's stomach had gotten bigger. Storm carefully monitored the girl and the baby while Sabertooth was close to Bonita's side. It was becoming apparent that Bonita had no interest in Sabertooth, even though; Sabertooth was seemingly distant of her for the past 3 to 4 months of being there.
Bonita didn't want Sabertooth to leave and yet she couldn't make him stay. He seemed to be agitated that she was in the wing, thought Bonita. She was becoming confused about him and Beast.
A month later, Sabertooth disappeared. Bonita had a feeling that she wouldn't be seeing him stay until the baby's birth. She now wants it out of her body and feeling fat at the same time.
Beast and Xavier were in Xavier's office, sitting silently.
It was Beast who broke the silence, "What's wrong with me? I don't understand it. She's unaware what could happen to her and yet I feel helpless of not helping her cope with it."
Xavier looked at his old friend, "Unfortunately, she took this path on her own accord. There's nothing you can do except be there for her when it's time. But right now, she needs a female guidance on how to control her body. Mystique didn't do it."
Bonita heard this, as Storm was checking the vitals on both her and the baby. "Storm, is something wrong with me?" asked Bonita, worried that she was in trouble. Storm stopped what she was doing and looked at Bonita. Then she gently touched one of the girl's small hands, gently saying, "No, there isn't anything wrong with you. You just need someone to help you to get through this difficult time. Makes sense?"
Bonita was about to answer when… BOOM!
The lights flickered in the wing as Storm and Bonita jumped when they heard the explosion. Bonita was gone in a flash, recognizing that it was Magneto and the group that did the explosion.
Magneto had Beast in the air as Beast was about to hurl himself at him when Bonita got there. "Bonita, so nice of you to show up," said Magneto. Bonita felt this anger rise in her seeing Beast in this. "Put him back down," demanded Bonita. Magneto looked at her curiously.
Mystique ran at Bonita. Bonita screamed at Mystique, throwing her back to where the door should've been. Toad whipped out his tongue toward Bonita and she dodged, only grabbing it with her arm and started to twirl in circles, making him lift off the ground. She threw him against the stairs, yanking his tongue, somewhat dislodging it to keep him from using it.
Sabertooth saw this and he ran toward her in attack mode. She turned to him, raising a hand as if to stop him. Suddenly, he started to float in the air and stopped at the same level as Beast, choking.
"I see that you've managed to do the same thing as me. Well, almost," said Magneto, looking admirably at Bonita and then turning his attention to Beast, pushing him back into Xavier's study. Xavier came out of the study in his wheelchair. "That's enough, Bonita," said Xavier telepathically. Bonita looked him confused.
Both stood still as they both exchanged looks. Magneto decided to take action between the two. He aimed at Bonita's swollen belly and Bonita started to scream in pain. "Not so tough, after all," said Magneto. Sabertooth fell to the ground, gasping for air.
"Don't do this, Magneto," said Xavier. Beast ran out of the study to a screaming Bonita, who was twisting and turning while protectively still holding her stomach, despite Magneto passing the physical barrier. "Stop, Magneto. Sabertooth, do something," screamed Bonita, still squirming in pain.
Then Magneto stopped, laughing, "Oh, that's right. Sabertooth did take a bit of a nosedive into you, didn't he, you little slut? Oh, well, better luck next time of getting the girl."
Magneto walks away with his beat up gang, limping away out of the hole they created. Bonita lay on the floor. "The baby. Something's wrong with the baby," said Bonita, sounding worried.
She was rushed down to the wing as Wolverine, Cyclops, Ice-man, and Pyro stood guard of the hole. Storm started to use the ultrasound machine when water came rushing out, soaking the floor and the bed. Bonita pushed herself up, screaming and pulling her wet pants off as she starts pushing. "Bonita, no. Don't push yet," yelled Storm.
"It hurts. I want it out," screamed Bonita, thrusting her pelvis in the air as she pushed. Beast positioned himself at the end of the table with the yellow lab coat that Bonita got him for his birthday 4 years ago.
He had the gloves on, getting Bonita stir-upped, inserting his large hands in her vaginal canal. He couldn't help by disapproving for her current actions but he was going to help her give birth to the one thing that was probably going to help her learn her lesson.
30 minutes later, a large pink thing came out screaming. Bonita had just blacked out from exhaustion and preeclampsia. The baby was 5 months premature but it looked healthy. 15 minutes later, Bonita came to and held the 8 pound juggernaut. 3 hours later, the baby died.
As it turns out, the baby had internal bleeding. Bonita named it Emily Jane McCoy. The preeclampsia was stopped and Bonita was walking about a month afterwards. Bonita wasn't the same person after Emily's death.
