"It's a girl" the midwife announced to the couple as Ororo just rested in the water grey eyes showing a severe level of exhaustion, but it was only to be expected after what she had done
"You did so well" Charles whispered placing a kiss on his wife's temple
The midwife's assitant went out to where the few other staff members and the students were waiting
"Well, how are things in there?" Scott asked
"Good," she said "and it's a girl!"
"What is her name?" Kurt asked
"They have not said yet" the assistant left back to the room with the new family.
Ororo had dried dressed and was now resting in bed, holding her daughter in her arms.
"Okay, what is the first name"
Charles and Ororo looked at each other and she nodded as he asked her telepathically about the name he wanted
"Nancy" Charles stated
"Do you want her to have a middle name"
"Grace, and of course last name is Xavier" Ororo smiled
Charles held the infant in his arms and smiled she had wisps of dark hair and her blue eyes looked at his face curiously, though he knew she didn't see him that well.
Ororo noticed that Charles's eyes seemed misty and she wondered what that meant.
"Charles is something wrong?"
"No, nothing is wrong, it's just I never thought... never thought I would have a second child, not after the accident. Now I have Nancy here in my arms, it just seems surreal. She's beautiful, like her mother"
"It is real Charles, she is real" Ororo smiled
"Should we get Kathy in here to see her sister?" the assistant asked
"Yes, Kathy is a member of this family" the midwife agreed "if that is what you want"
"Yes, I want Kathy in here"
Kathy was brought in and she sat with her father and stepmother on the bed and looked at the infant in her father's arms
"Kathy, I want you to meet your sister, Nancy"
"Nancy" Kathy smiled as she watched her father place the newborn, Nancy in Ororo's waiting arms they stepped asside as the midwife helped Ororo with the first feeding
"Kathy, I want to remind you that no matter what you are my first born you are still so very special to me" he hugged her tight and she returned the embrace, it was a bittersweet moment for Kathy, she that there was one thing her sister would get that she didn't, a life with her biological mother, but she pushed that thought from her mind as she remembered that Ororo had been so much like a mother to her that it was like she still had her mother present.
"I love you dad"
"I love you too"
"Do you think I could hold my baby sister later?"
"Yes, my dear, you can"
Charles and Kathy returned to Ororo and Nancy content that they were a family and no force in the world could change that
The End
