Begin Remy's Pov.
I knocked loudly on Kurt and Kitty's door. I had just got back into the city when my bike broke down. I had about five dollars in my pocket and I was able to get within three blocks of their house. They could give me a ride to the hospital. A very tired looking Kitty answered the door.
"Who… Oh! Remy! Hi when did you get back?"
"Just now, can you or Kurt give me a ride to St. Michael's Hospital? I have to get to Rogue."
"Is she having the baby?!"
"Wait! You knew?"
"Well, of course!"
"Why does everybody know about my baby except me?"
"It wasn't like you were around much." She said stepping back and letting me through the door. "Kurt wake up Rogue's having the baby!" she called into the bedroom. I glanced at the mantel clock, 12:42. Kurt was out of the room in a flash, still pulling on his pants.
"Ok lets go I got the video camera and… Remy! Wow you're here! It's good to see you." Kurt said coming over and shaking my hand. "You know about the baby?"
"Uh, yeah! I found out about two hours ago."
"I think we better get going." Kitty said dangling her car keys. I walked out the door.
"Rogue is not going to be happy about this." I could here Kitty murmur to Kurt.
Begin Rogue's Pov
I was lying on my back when Jubes walked in the room. She had a strange look on her face; I figured it was because Hank was checking my dilation at the moment.
"Well Rogue it looks like we panicked a little. You are about 3 centimeters; your contractions have slowed down so I don't think you'll deliver for at least six hours yet. So get comfortable try to rest because I want you walking here in about an hour. Try to sleep and I'll be back in about an hour. Hey Jubilee" He said walking out the door.
"Hi," she said smiling. Then she looked at me and stared at the floor.
"Jubilee, where have you been?" I asked a little worried.
"I took a cab home, got my car, and packed you a few things." She said holding up a duffle bag. "Do you want to change out of that paper night gown." She said somewhat sheepishly
"Oh god yes." I said and got out of bed. I put on the light, cream-colored gown with embroidered pink flowers. I slid back into bed. "Jubilee, what is the matter? If it's about Hank…"
"Rogue I was scared."
"What?"
"When the orderly told me I had to get that thing signed, I got scared."
"Jubilee honey, that's standard procedure."
"I didn't know that! And now I'm in trouble!"
"Why?"
"They said I had to get a family member who was over age to sign it! Then they said I could get vocal consent so I called dad!"
"Why would that get you in trouble?"
"Hold on and I'll tell you." She said and went into the
bathroom. She put the chain on and opened the door. "I couldn't get a hold of
Dad, he went to the airport already."
"And?"
"And, and… I called Remy." She said and slammed the door.
"WHAT?!"
"I'm so sorry Rogue, try to stay clam, think of the baby!" came her muffled reply.
"Come out here Jubes!"
"No,"
"Yes!"
"Please don't hurt me."
"I can't promise anything but at least you're in a hospital."
She opened the door and slowly came out.
"Come here." I said from the bed she inched closer. "Closer," she was standing right by the bed I reached up and took a hold of her ear.
"Ow,"
"How long ago did you call and what did he say?" I gritted out
"Leggo of my ear." I twisted harder.
"Answer the question."
"About two hours. And I didn't talk to him." She squeaked. And I let go of her ear.
"Who did you talk to?"
"I don't know some person."
"Some person? Does that mean some guy or some girl?" she didn't answer. "Don't make me give you a new piercing." I warned
"A woman it was a woman! Oh god, it was not suppose to be like this! All I wanted was to eat snails and drink wine." She said sobbing and crumpling to the floor. I couldn't see her but I could hear her I waited about 3 minutes before I caved in. I could never stand to hear her cry. Even when we were kids.
"Jubilee it's okay. Please get up."
"Oh Rogue I'm sorry." Her head appeared over the side of the bed. It was streaked with mascara and red.
"He was going to find out sooner or later I guess. Go clean your self up and hang out in the hall. Call Kitty and Kurt let them know what's going on, I need to get some sleep."
