SORRY SORRY SORRY! I am getting really bad about updating, but I hope you all like this chapter, so ENJOY!
Kitty slowly opened her eyes. The motel room was dark, but her eyes still had to adjust. She remembered what had happened the night before, with Pyro coming back and then coming to this motel. It all seemed like a dream to Kitty, but then she felt someone beside. She turned over and saw Pyro sleeping on the bed next to her.
Kitty smiled and gave Pyro a quick kiss on the nose, which only made him grunt but not wake up. Kitty was very happy to have him back, but Kitty knew that she couldn't stay in bed all day, so she carefully got up, not wanting to wake Pyro, and went over to Rosie, who was sleeping.
Kitty then got some clothes to wear for the day and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
As she stood in the shower, Kitty began to think about her life now. Pyro was back, that was a really good thing, but what would that do to their marriage? Even when they were together they didn't spend much time together, and now they all of the sudden went from not seeing each other very often to being with each other 24/7, and that sort of worried Kitty. Now they would have to learn to deal with each others routine's, habits, and likes and dislikes. Kitty calmed herself about that. She knew that all newly weds went through that, so Pyro and her would just be going through it later then usual, nothing to worry about.
But then there was Rosie.
Kitty was glad that Pyro had accepted fatherhood, but accepting and doing were two totally different things. Kitty was worried that Pyro wouldn't know how to be a father. He had told her that his own father had left his family when he was really young, so he didn't remember him much, which meant that Pyro wouldn't have anyone to model after in fatherhood. Of course, Kitty realized, parenthood was basically just guesswork, so she and Pyro were in the same boat. They would just both have to work together and hope that they raised Rosie right.
After Kitty was done worrying and taking a shower, she got dressed then stepped out into the main room, where she found Pyro laying on the bed flipping through channels on the t.v.
He looked but when she came in.
"Hey." He said.
"Good morning." She answered.
Kitty sat down on the bed next to Pyro. "Anything good to watch?"
Pyro shrugged. "Don't know, everything's just commercials'."
Kitty just nodded, and watched the channels go by. Suddenly, she had a strong urge to ask Pyro something.
"Pyro?"
"Yeah?"
"What are we going to do now? I mean, we can't stay at this motel forever, we need to find someplace to live."
Pyro stopped flipping through the channels and thought for a moment. "I actually never really thought about that part. I just thought that we would just sort of travel around, you know, like a really long road trip. Then again, I never thought I would have a kid who would need more structure then that."
Pyro paused, then said. "And I guess I would never have enough money to have normal house. I barely have enough for this motel room."
"Then how did you think we were going to afford other motel rooms and gas?" Kitty asked.
"I figured that I would get small jobs as we went along, enough to make money too but essentials."
Kitty sighed. "Pyro, I do think that the plan sounds cool, but we have to be more responsible now with Rosie. We need to figure out a way to get enough money to start saving for a house, or at least rent for one, and we need money for food, and other stuff too."
Pyro gowned. "I know, I know. Hey, give me a break, I thought this up at a truck stop so I wasn't exactly in a place to really think about stuff. I guess I'll have to get a job to make some money to pay for this motel while we save up, unless you have any better ideas."
Kitty thought for a moment. "Actually, I do."
Pyro looked intrigued and motioned for her to continue, so she did. "When I was about two, my parents opened up a savings account for me to put all my Christmas and birthday money in. After I discovered that I was a mutant, I ran off, but I forgot to get all the money for myself out of the savings account, so I think that it all should still be there, if my parent's haven't taken it all out yet, but it's worth a shot."
Pyro seemed to like that idea, so he said. "And how are we supposed to get this money?"
Kitty smiled. "Don't worry, I know how."
That afternoon, Kitty, Pyro and little Rosie walked into the local bank, which was the bank chain that Kitty had her savings account at, and asked the clerk for Kitty's savings. After giving the correct information, the clerk went to the back of the bank, then returned with a folder that had Kitty's money in it.
They all thanked her and left. When they got back to the truck, Pyro asked Kitty something. "So, how much do you actually have?"
"Oh, about two thousand dollars."
"What?! You didn't tell me you had that much. I was thinking more along a couple hundred at most."
Kitty grinned. "Well, I guess we have enough money to stay at a motel for a while. Now all we need is for you to find a job."
Pyro rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I know. Don't remind me."
The next day, Pyro and Kitty were heading to the local store to buy some food. As the drove along, they passed an R.V. park that was also a trailer park. Kitty saw a sign at the front building that said that there were trailers to rent, and it was only two hundred a month.
Kitty suddenly had Pyro stop, then got out and went over to the main building, asked the lady at the desk if the sign was correct, then asked what kind of trailer she could have.
The lady told her that it would be a basic trailer, a one bedroom, one bath, and that all the maintenance would be covered by the landlord. The lady also mentioned that Kitty would be able to use the laundry station here, since the trailer didn't have one.
Kitty asked the lady for the papers to rent the trailer, and by the time she came back to the truck, she and Pyro were now renters of a mobile home.
After Pyro's stunned silence was over, Kitty and Pyro got their stuff and went to the trailer. It was a basic one, no decoration but red paint on the outside.
Inside, it had wood paneling on the walls, and orange carpet on the floors, making it look very 70's ish. The kitchen was small, but had good working appliances, although they were all brown. The bathroom was very white, and the bedroom had a full size bed, but nothing else. The living room was connected to the kitchen, and it had a huge wall of bookshelves and storage, which was all a very ugly brown.
Kitty didn't really like the decor, but she knew that she could make the place more homey, and that was enough.
After their small amount of stuff was put away, Kitty and Pyro put Rosie to bed, then went to bed themselves.
