Chapter 10
Logan paused outside the door to the infirmary still thinking there was something wrong with his hearing.
He had been coming back from the danger room (working on some 'enhancements') and had noticed that the mansion was oddly silent. Although when he looked at a clock he hadn't thought it was odd. Practically everyone was at school.
At least that's what he had thought.
He had been walking towards the stairs, intending on going into the kitchen to scavenge for what was left of breakfast.
That's when he'd heard it.
A very loud shout coming from the direction of the infirmary.
"YOU ARE NOT ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT GIVING ME A PREGNANCY TEST!!!"
Logan had paused with one foot in the air.
Pregnant! Someone here in the Institute!
Who? Jean? Sure she and Scott were going out, but Logan didn't think it was that serious. Kitty? Logan growled at the thought. But Kitty had broken up with Lance ... a little over a month.
However, Logan then realized something that made him look up with a start.
It had been a GUY who had shouted out that statement.
And oddly enough the guy had sounded like he had a German ... Elf!
Logan couldn't believe it. Sure Kurt had some rather interesting mutations, but pregnant! Logan had never thought any man could actually pull that off!
But then again, Kurt had been acting odd lately. The stomach cramps, the fatigue, ... the fact that Magneto had surgically operated ... implanted something in Kurt!
Logan growled again. A stunt like this would be low even for a slime ball like Magneto. But by now Logan wouldn't put anything past that mutant.
And now that he thought about it, the elf had had a slightly different scent about him ever since he had gotten back to the Institute.
Logan had noticed it right away when Kurt was quite literally dumped at the gates, but he'd discarded it as nothing. Maybe just some scent that Kurt had picked up over the couple of days he was gone.
But then Kurt had gotten better and the scent hadn't gone away. If anything it had gotten slightly stronger with each passing day.
Logan had actually been just about ready to talk to the Professor about it because in the past he been able to detect certain ailments in people just from their scent alone.
Logan sighed. He wasn't going to find out any answers by just standing around and wandering.
Growling again, he turned on his heel and headed back in the direction of the infirmary where he was sure the shout had come from.
Not standing on formality, Logan didn't bother knocking when he entered the infirmary. He simply walked in ... just in time to see Kurt faint dead away and Scott run forward to catch his falling friend.
Scott caught his friend in time, but staggered under the dead weight in his arms.
"What the heck happened to Elf?!"
Jean, Kitty, and Beast all jumped at Logan's unexpected shout, and Scott almost dropped Kurt from shock.
The Professor simply turned his wheelchair around to stare at Logan with a grave expression on his face.
It was then that Logan noticed the item Jean was holding in her hand.
Jean, noticing Logan's stare and raised eyebrow, quickly hid the item behind her back with a blush rising to her cheeks.
"Is that what I think it is?" Logan asked gruffly.
Jean flinched from Logan's tone while everyone else remained silent not knowing what to say.
"Uh ...," Jean started.
Logan sighed and lowered his tone. "Was it elf that I heard shouting from down the hall?"
*You heard ... that!*
Logan nodded at Jean.
Jean sighed and brought her hand out front again. Sure enough, there was a pregnancy test in her hands.
"Then you should know Logan, that the test came out positive," Jean said.
Logan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Elf is ... pregnant?!"
Kitty laughed nervously from her seat in the corner. "I always like thought Tabitha would be the first one to be in this position."
"Kitty," the Professor said in a warning tone, "I know this situation is disbelieving, but let's refrain from making condescending remarks about our teammates."
"I'm sorry Professor," Kitty said quietly. "I meant for that comment to be joking, not insulting."
The Professor nodded and then turned to Logan. "Was there something you wanted to say, Logan?"
Logan nodded as he walked across the floor to help Scott, who was straining under Kurt's dead weight.
Together the two men moved Kurt to the bed while Logan started talking. "I have noticed over the past two weeks that Elf's scent has been somewhat different. I was actually considering coming and talking to you about already ... then I heard that shout from down the hall."
"You can actually smell things like that?" Hank asked.
Logan shrugged in response. "I've never really spent much time around pregnant women so I guess I didn't recognize the scent. And passing people in that condition in crowds wouldn't have helped because in a crowd several scents are mixed."
A slight groan from the infirmary bed suddenly had everyone looking at Kurt.
"Well, ... I'd say he's waking up from his faint," Scott said.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Kurt blinked his eyes as everything in the infirmary slowly came into focus.
As the images became clear he realized that Scott, Jean, Kitty, Hank, and the Professor were all staring at him expectantly.
"Feeling better, Elf?" a gruff asked from directly above him.
Kurt gulped and tilted his gaze upward. Logan was staring straight at him.
"Herr Logan?! Do you know about ..."
"Yeah I've been clued into the situation," Logan responded, "but I'm still having a hard time believing all of this."
Kurt groaned and smacked both of his hands into his head. "And here I was hoping you'd just give me a blank stare and ask what the heck I was talking about. Then I'd know it was all just a bad dream. But it isn't."
No one knew what to say. But then again, what did you say to a guy who found himself pregnant?! Kurt had turned 18 the previous September and had had to endure more burdens than even some people in their 30's and 40's.
But this was something else. A child. Something that Kurt would have with him the rest of his life. The news would have been hard enough for any 18 year-old to deal with and the situation just made it that much harder for Kurt. This pregnancy wasn't because of a mistake or a one night stand. The decision for parenthood had been forced on Kurt.
'But why?' the Professor thought to himself.
'For what reason would Magneto have to impregnate Kurt?' There had to be a reason. The Professor seriously doubted this was just some kind of weird new hobby of Magneto's.
"I think we should try and contact Magneto," the Professor said suddenly speaking up in the dead silence.
"Vhat?!" Kurt yelled before anyone else could respond to the Professor's remark. "Vhy do you even vant to bring that ... that miserable excuse for a human being into all of zhis! He's the reason I'm in this condition to begin vith. Ich hasse ihn! Er hat mein Leben nichts miserabel gemacht!"
Even the Professor backed away in surprise as Kurt jumped from the bed. Standing at his full height, with his hair tossed wildly, an angry look on his face and his fangs bared, Kurt for once looked scary.
The other X-men had never seen Kurt like this before.
Kurt, seeing the fear in their eyes, immediately regretted his outburst and sank back down on the bed with a sob. He dropped his face into his hands as he continued to cry softly. "Warum? Warum ist dies immer zu mir passieren?"
Kitty moved forward, still a little shocked at Kurt's angry outburst, intending to comfort her friend who was quickly turning into something more. However, the Professor spoke up first.
"Kurt, I think we should run a few more tests just to see if ..."
Kurt started shaking his head back and forth in a negative gesture. "Nein Professor. Please no more tests, no more infirmaries," Kurt paused as he looked up at the gathered X-men, "and no more operating tables!"
Kurt's last statement sounded almost like a threat directed to anyone who dared to try and experiment on him again. But Kurt didn't stick around to see anyone's reactions. With a loud 'bamf' and a small black cloud, Kurt suddenly disappeared from the infirmary.
Jean squeaked in surprise at Kurt's sudden disappearance. "I certainly hope he had the sense not to leave the Institute. In his emotional state he shouldn't be out and wondering around."
Kitty jumped to her feet and started running towards the door to the infirmary. "He probably just like teleported to his room."
The Professor did a quick mental scan of the Institute while Kitty phased through the door. He quickly found Kurt's signature.
*Kitty, he's on the second floor of the Institute. But I don't think he made it to his room.*
Kitty heard the Professor just as she got to the front landing.
*Like thanks Professor* she replied back.
Kitty ran up the stairs to the second floor and immediately headed left for Kurt's room.
She screamed in surprise as she almost tripped over Kurt who was lying on the floor just off the foyer where the hallway started.
Kurt's face was pointed towards the floor so Kitty couldn't see his expression, but from the way the rest of him was trembling she could tell Kurt was crying.
"Whoah, I almost tripped over you Fuzzy," Kitty said as kneeled down beside Kurt.
"I'm not going back to the infirmary," Kurt replied stubbornly.
Kitty smiled and placed a hand on Kurt's shoulder. "They didn't send me here to drag you back Kurt."
Kurt sniffled as he sat up on the floor. "I wouldn't be surprised if they did. Everyone's always looking over my shoulder nowadays. We have to look out for Kurt. We have to protect Kurt. Vhen did I become the center of attention here! I hate it! Everyone's looking at me like I'm about to completely break down any minute. And the worse part is ... I'm beginning to think they're right, Keety!"
Kitty looked at Kurt with a disbelieving look on her face. "How can you say that Kurt?! You're far from fragile. You're a valuable member of the X-men team. Even if you are ... pregnant."
Kurt growled. "Valuable? Yeah right. I get kidnapped by Magneto and don't even escape on my own, I have an assassin attempt on my life at the movies, ... and now I can't even do a simple teleport up to my room!" Kurt pounded his fists on the floor in frustration. Kitty winced slightly at Kurt's gesture, but didn't try to stop him. She didn't like feeling helpless anymore than he did.
"Vhat's going to happen to me Keety?!" Kurt howled out. He then completely broke down and started crying openly, not even caring that Kitty was sitting right there.
Kitty's heart went out to Kurt. She absolutely hated seeing her best friend.
Odd how she hadn't always thought of him as her best friend. But now she thought of him that way for quite some time. And of course, she was also developing feeling for him in a completely different nature.
However, she sadly realized that a romantic relationship might have to be put on hold with the situation that Kurt would be facing in the coming months. But looking at the sensitive guy before her, Kitty had the feeling that Kurt would be worth the wait.
It had taken a long time for the two of them to get the steady friendship that they had at the moment, but the result was one of the strongest relationships that Kitty had with anyone.
How appropriate that they would now be developing feeling for each other.
All this was running through Kitty's head as put an arm around her favorite fuzzball and let him cry on her shoulder.
Kitty lightly placed a kiss on top of his head before trying to answer his question as best as she could. "I'm not sure Kurt. But there's a whole mansion full of people who won't let anything happen to you. We'll help you figure this out."
Kurt stopped crying, but still remained in Kitty's embrace. He took a deep breath before speaking. "I'm scared, Keety."

Rogue came tearing through the front of the Institute with a bang. Ever since she'd ran into Tabitha and Amara at school she'd been frantic to get home.
It her little brother was getting sick enough to the point were he was throwing up in the kitchen garbage can, then things must have gotten bad.
Rogue was almost at the stairs, and Tabitha and Amara had just walked through the front door when the Professor.
"Rogue, Tabitha, Amara, please come here I wish to speak with you."
Rogue jumped around in surprise and realized that she'd ran right by the Professor, Logan, Scott, Jean, and Kitty who were all sitting in the couches just off the entrance.
The Professor's look was completely blank, but everyone else's expression's were so forlorn that Rogue immediately grew even more concerned.
"Okay, where's mah brother?" Rogue asked walking up to them. Tabitha and Amara also silently walked up to the group.
"He's upstairs in his room sleeping," the Professor answered, "and I'd prefer if he remained undisturbed since he's had a very tiring day."
"Is something seriously wrong with Blue?" Tabitha asked. For once even she didn't have a joking tone.
"Not exactly," the Professor said, "but what did manage to find out why Kurt has been feeling so horrible lately."
"What is it?" Amara asked shyly.
The Professor sighed. "I had hoped to break this news to all the other students as a whole, but it might be easier to just tell the three of you now. For what I have to tell you is fairly unbelievable."
Rogue felt laughing at the Professor's words until she looked around at the expressions on Scott, Jean, Kitty, and Logan's faces.
They looked like they still had some disbelief in their features.
Even Kitty was unusually down.
Taking a deep breath, Rogue looked right at the Professor. "What's wrong with mah brother Prof?"
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"HE'S WHAT??!!"
Kurt winced as he woke up at the sudden shout and then heard two other exclamations as well. But they were drowned out by the sound of heavy footsteps on the stairs.
"Rogue no!" Kurt could hear Jean yelling. "Kurt needs some time to himself."
Kurt suddenly started panicking as he sat up in bed.
Rogue. Coming to his room.
From the loud shout he'd heard coming out of his sister's mouth, chances were she'd just been told about her impending aunthood.
But Kurt was in no way ready to deal with questions. Especially the questions and weird looks bound to come with a male pregnancy.
So when Kurt heard the sound of a had turning the knob on his door, he did the only thing he could think of.
He teleported. Taking his blanket with him.

Hey! I actually managed to type up a chapter in one night ... no thanks to my fussy computer which started freaking out when I accidentally hit the keyboard. Grrrr. Oh well. If I'm motivated enough I might actually get another chapter posted before the end of the week. I guess we'll see. Sorry if the ending was a little rushed.
Reviews:
Nightrider: Weird in a good way or a bad way. Mpreg is not for everyone, but for me weird is good and normal is evil. But that's just little old me.
Qui: Find out if the word is spelled Oy or Oi. I'm curious. Thanks for the weird review. Even though it had nothing at all to do with NB, and I can't remember what you said about it on AOL. Oh well. No harm done.
Amity Raven: I can just feel my ego inflating from your review. No I'm just kidding. My co-writer for daughtersofgondor was actually amused at your review. Most of our stories up until we started writing "A Second Chance At Love" last month have been kind of on the humor/parody side. But now with the above mentioned story and a couple one shot fics, we've been moving into a more drama and angst direction.
It must be the time, because I started writing Nightcrawler's Burden around the same time. Maybe you just prefer X-Men Evolution over Lord of the Rings, but if it's a change of tone that has you interested in this story then we have some new stories on daughtersofgondor that are certainly a darker tone.
Sorry, I'm shamelessly advertising, but I thought I'd let you know if you were interested.
Raskolian Phoenix: I can read slash for X-men, I just can't write it. So, you'll never have to worry about slash from me. In the Lord of the Rings genre you can ... but not here. hee hee. It's okay those stories are all under a different pen name.
Just like mpreg isn't for everyone, slash isn't for everyone. Hope you enjoyed the update.
Maxine-chan: yeah, in a pregnancy story I think there should always be at least one guy fainting. It just seems to fit. Plus it's quite funny.
Just realized I forgot about the little bit of German:
Ich hasse ihn: I hate him
Er hat mein Leben nichts miserabel gemacht: He has made my Life nothing but miserable.
Warum ist dies immer zu mir passieren?: Why is this always happening to me?
I think I got everything ... let me know if I didn't. Thanks for all the reviews!

Raskolian Phoenix: I can read slash for X-men, I just can't write it. So, you'll never have to worry about slash from me. In the Lord of the Rings genre you can ... but not here. hee hee. It's okay those stories are all under a different pen name.
Just like mpreg isn't for everyone, slash isn't for everyone. Hope you enjoyed the update.
Maxine-chan: yeah, in a pregnancy story I think there should always be at least one guy fainting. It just seems to fit. Plus it's quite funny.
Just realized I forgot about the little bit of German:
Ich hasse ihn: I hate him
Er hat mein Leben nichts miserabel gemacht: He has made my Life nothing but miserable.
Warum ist dies immer zu mir passieren?: Why is this always happening to me?
I think I got everything ... let me know if I didn't. Thanks for all the reviews!
