Rogue

Oh, why not, I've done just about everyone else. No, still don't own them.
Kitty came out of the computer room as another new arrival came in, Rogue. She gave Kitty a big hug, "Hey Sugah, I understand you had another surprise arrival today."
Kitty smiled, "Want to see them? They're upstairs." Rogue's delighted smile answered her as they proceeded into the gallery. Ilyana couldn't be contained, she found that several of the students were only a couple of years older than she and joined in playing with them. "No, we haven't told them that she'll be able to cheat outrageously when her mutant power manifests." She left hanging the unknowable question, whether she was still a mutant.
"Ya'll will have to enroll her in school," Rogue said, pointing out the obvious.
"We've had a couple of the neighbors volunteer to work with her this summer to get her caught up to her appropriate age level. I'm just glad we're in summer break." Kitty opened the door and said, "Sorry for the mess, we just moved in here and have had to absorb three new girls, two of whom we were expecting. We're not complaining!" Kitty said hastily as Rogue started to laugh.
Rogue sighed as she looked at the tiny girls. They were awake but were quietly occupying themselves with their toes. Rogue picked Moira up, having been careful about wearing full sleeves and gloves, and sat down on the bed. Ilyana started to squall, apparently feeling that she was being left out of the attention. Rogue heard her laugh as she picked up the other infant, "Ya know, Sweetie, your Mama and I go back a long way. She saved my life once." Kitty's hand landed on the older woman's shoulder. "I just wish…" the wish went unsaid. The moment needed did not need to be spoiled. "Thank you Kitty, for letting me share in your joy."
"Anytime, my friend, anytime," Kitty answered.
