Chapter 5 of Junior X
Dilemas, Dilemas.
The past week had been an enjoyable and relaxing week for the Wagners, indeed. They were away from everyone and everything, and had time to get reaquainted with each other and become use to this new
idea. They splashed around in Breakstone Lake, having water fights and the like, and just generally learning to enjoy life again. After all, they had so much to look forward to now.
The week had passed quickly for the young couple. They had bothed looked forward to being with their friends again and dreaded it all at the same time. No matter how much they went over this, it didn't seem
to make them feel more at ease about the situation.
So here he was, laying flat on his back in bed in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. "We're suppose to go home today." Kurt thought to himself. He looked at the small alarm clock on the table beside him and flicked on the lamp, hoping not to wake Kitty. He couldn't help but look down at her. She was fast asleep, her beautiful head resting on his chest with one arm draped across his stomach. "Four oclock a.m." Kurt thought to himself. They had both went to bed at 9:00 p.m., hoping to rise in enough time to get back to the mansion by 8:30 the next morning. Kurt had slept well these past couple of nights. In fact, it was the best rest he had had in over a year. The peace of mind and total bliss of bringing another child in this world had totally changed Kurt's outlook on life for the better. But tonight, his mind refused to shut down and sleep. He had been awake since he hit the sheets. His brain kept playing out all the possibilities. "What will they think?" Kurt kept asking himself. Kurt smiled down at his wife. He wondered, would she want to start back toward the mansion this early? Kurt kissed her gently on the forhead and brushed her long hair out of her face. Her eyes fluttered open, and she jerked awake suddenly.
"Oh, Kurt, honey is everything o.k.?" She questioned him frantically. She assumed something was wrong with him to be waking her so early. "Areyouhurtinganywhereohmysweetheartmylovewhatswrong!?" Kitty blurted almost incoherently as she stroked Kurt's hair. "IhavetocallMcCoyOHGOD!!" Kitty panicked as she reached for the cell phone on the side of her bed.
Kurt looked at her in confusion, and gingerly grabbed her wrists. He pryed the cell phone from her small fingers and smiled, kissing her on her cheek. "Oh, baby, I'm fine!!" Kurt smiled and grabbed her in a tight embrace on the bed. "I just wanted to see if you were ready to go home!" He snuggled his face in her hair, his own long dark hair falling into Kitty's mouth. She grinned and spat it out, wrapping her arms around his muscular chest. "Oh, Kurt, I'm sorry!! I just thought something was wrong and I...." Kitty was interrupted by Kurt's lips meeting hers.
"I assure you, I and junior are doing wonderfully." Kurt grinned and patted his stomach. "Remember how well Hank said I was doing when he was up at the cabin yesterday?"
"Yes, yes I do and with great relief." Kitty grinned. "Honey, are you sure you want to go home now? I mean, it is early, and I want you to get some rest."
"I promise, I will rest as soon as I get back to the mansion." Kurt smiled at his wife. "I just want to get home, so we can prepare for the big meeting." He arched his black eyebrows at her and she nodded in agreement.
"O.k. If you promised to get a sound sleep when we get there." She brushed her fingertip along his lips.
"I Promise." He said, gingerly kissing the finger in return.
******************************************
At 5:00 a.m., Kurt and Kitty had returned to the mansion. They tiptoed in the dark building. Most of its occupants were fast asleep and neither wanted to wake anyone up.
Of course, most did not mean all. The Professor had sensed their return. He had been up since three anyway. Even the world's greatest mind suffered from occasional insomnia, and the return of two of his
"Children" back home was all of the more reason to be awake. Especially considering what one of his children was going through.
"I could feel that you had returned." the Professor said as he hovered in the living room. "Tell me, Kurt, how was your rest?"
Kurt flashed his fangs in a wide grin at the Professor. He was looking more and more like the old Kurt. He had gained some of his weight back, and
the bags under his eyes were completely gone. His youthful vigor was back, as well as his roguish charm.
"Wunderbar!" Kurt exclaimed happily, giving his mentor a hello hug.
"I take that you are very well, then, as Hank has informed me. You did follow his advice? " The Professor questioned.
"Ja, Ja." Kurt reassured. "Every last word. My beautiful wife made sure of that. Nothing strenuous. Just moderate, light exercise,and no
gymnastics or teleporting. I've been resting well, and eating like a horse." Kurt laughed. He sounded so full of life, so ecstatic. It made Kitty's
and the Professor's hearts light to hear him carry on so well.
"Very good." The Professor smiled satisfactorily. "Did Hank tell you of the team meeting I have planned in the Warroom this evening?"
"Ja, that he did." Kurt smiled nervously.
"You have prepared for this, I assume?"
"Ja."
"And you have weighed all the possible reactions?"
Kurt ran his hand through his hair and looked the professor in the eye. He smiled. "Ja." was Kurt's simple reply.
"Wonderful. Please do not be too concerned, Kurt. These are your friends, your family. I'm sure you will leave with full
support. Until then," he looked back at Kurt and then toward Kitty, " You both need plenty of rest. You will have a long
day ahead of you." The Professor hovered back upstairs. "Goodnight, children." The Professor said before dissappearing
down the upstairs hall.
Kurt looked down at his wife, who had her arms wrapped around him in a loving embrace. He yawned ."It has been a long
trip." He ran his hands through Kitty's chestnut hair.
"Yes, it has." She smiled and then asked. "Are you still nervous about tonight?"
Kurt stroked his chin in thought. "I would be lying if I said I weren't." Kurt explained. "After all, this is absolutely unheard of.
Entirely outrageous." He smiled. " I just don't think anyone on earth is ready to accept a pregnant man. " Kurt walked
to the bay window, his back to Kitty and just stared intently at the garden in the front courtyard, deep in thought.
Kitty looked at her husband, standing in the full moonlight shining through the window. It casted a glow on his blue fur
and long black-violet hair. His rippling, strong arms crossed across his chest as he stared out the window, his mind wandering.
Dressed in nothing more than a simple white tank top and baggy, faded jeans, she was in practical awe at how beautiful he was.
"And to think," she thought, "When I first saw him, he scared the crap out of me. If only I could take it back somehow."
Her eyes drifted down to his taught, flat stomach. "My child, our child, is actually in there , growing." She thought as
her heart slammed in her chest with the intense rush of love she felt for them both. Kurt's glowing, golden eyes, the eyes
that showed her his compassionate, loving soul, span back around to Kitty. He walked over and embraced her.
"You know something, though?" Kurt whispered in her ear. "These are our friends, our family just as the Professor had said.
"They have always been there for us, and supported us. They will be here now, I'm sure of it." Kurt said, trying more to convince
himself than Kitty.
Kitty looked up at her husband and grabbed his chin, making him look her in the eye. She had always loved him. As a friend at first,
a teammate, a lover, a husband. "We're talking about people who have went on intergalactic adventures of epic proportions. Encountered god-
like creatures, battled the beyonder, even some who have had their bodies altered or switched.." She snuggled her head in his chest
as he wrapped hids strong arms around her. "If there is one thing we have learned about being x-men, it is to expect the unexpected.
This pregnancy is going to catch them off guard, of course, but they will adapt, as always." Kitty said reassuredly.
"I'm sure you are right, my love." Kurt smiled.
"Of course, I'm right! Remember, I'm the brains of the operation, remember?" She giggled, and Kurt chuckled hardedly.
"The important thing is that we're happy, we love each other, and we will finally have a family again." Kitty kissed Kurt passionatly.
She then looked down lovingly at his abdomen and began to rub it soothingly. Kurt had always liked having his stomach rubbed.
"Just like a loving puppy." Kitty used to joke to him about it, but she had really made it a ritual this past week, since he was now
carrying their child.
"Let's get to bed , tiger." Kitty purred. "After all, tour resting for two, now."
Kurt nodded whole heartedly in agreement. He looked back out the window. The sun was beginning to rise.
The two adjorned to bed. This was indeed going to be a long day.
