AN: Excuse this chapter because I intentionally had it going a different way, but it ended up like this. This is a rated M chapter!


Chapter 12- Missing You

Everyone returned to the Blackbird where Piotr diligently cared over for his sister, despite Jean's suggestions for him to rest and that she would be more than happy to look over her like she had done with the other children, he wouldn't relinquish his responsibilities. Off in the corner Kitty sat in a seat with her hands wrapped around a cup of hot cocoa, and occasionally taking glances at Piotr.

"You all right petite," Remy asked as he sat down beside her.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she lied and he knew it.

"Peter is back and his sister is safe . . . so why do I get the feeling you ain't happy about somet'ing." He put his hand on her back and rubbed gently in comfort.

Kitty looked back over at Piotr and this time he looked at her in return. He smiled and all she wanted to do was smile back, but it was too hard. His smile then turned to worry, and he excused himself from lllyana. Remy watched as Piotr came over, but disappeared before he became accused of anything. Piotr gave her a small kiss, something he blushed at when he realized that Illyana was now watching him.

"Your sister is very beautiful." Kitty said without looking at him.

"And very bright too," Piotr said proudly. "I have not seen her for five years and now she is already ten years old." Kitty looked at him concerned.

"Ten? Does she have-?"

"I do not know. First it was my brother, then me . . ." he trailed off for fear of admitting Illyana might be a mutant. "I don't want people to hate her for what I am . . . I don't want them to hate you," he held her chin as he spoke.

"Peter there's something that I want to tell you," Kitty began but struggled to get the words out. His unwavering attention was no help either.

"What is it?" He took her hand unconsciously.

"I-" she looked around, but she was drawn back to look into his eyes, and that hurt her more than anything. Tears welled in her eyes and her voice cracked as she spoke. "I missed you." Like Kitty Piotr also was moved by her words that he held her against his chest as she silently wept.

"I'll never leave you again Katya . . . I promise." Piotr rocked her gently, until she cried no more.

After they arrived back at the mansion Jean offered to escort Illyana to her new room, to which Piotr had no objections to. Meanwhile, Piotr and Kitty went back to his room.

The two embraced each other like they never before. Caressing and touching every part of each as if to remember that which was forgotten. "Katya," Piotr breathed heavily, his heart racing.

"Shhh." Kitty muffled his speech with a kiss.

Piotr needed no other invitation as they shifted to the bed that was left untouched since the day he left. Kitty laid on the bed first, then Piotr followed. Their tongues continued to explore each other's mouth until Kitty reached down to Piotr's belt. He moaned with anticipation as he planted kiss after kiss, then she took off her own top and bra, revealing a pair of sizable breasts and near washboard stomach.

Piotr in return, discarded the rest of his clothing and the pants of Kitty. He laid on his back as she straddled atop him. "We don't have to do this" He explained, noticing her hesitation.

"It's what I want." Kitty said as she lowered herself on him, and the painful tear that brought her once more to tears. All the while Piotr maintained his composure and allowed Kitty to adjust before she began moving again.

After a few moments the pain subsided and all that was left was pure pleasure. Piotr was gentle and rhythmic, making it almost seem like an art form, as Kitty matched each and every thrust.

Some time later, their love making grew hot and heavier as both partners reached their climaxes. Screams of ecstasy were unfortunately kept to a minimum, but the release of new life swept over the two in such a rush that they remained that way in each other's arms.
