"Are you sure?" Jean asked.
"Positive. I thought about it and I just can't kill something that's never had the chance to live. It's murder." Rogue said.
Jean couldn't say that she wasn't pleased with the answer. She hated abortions; that was the reason she hesitated on giving the pill. She knew Rogue, and she knew how she felt. Whether the baby was expected or not it was always the mother's choice, not a doctor's precaution.
"Do you realize how hard this will be?"
"Yes."
Jean raised an eyebrow, a little trick that she picked up from Logan.
"And no. I figure I'll finish school here and take a few college classes here. Get an education. I'll find a steady job that's able to support my needs and than head out into the world with a baby at my hip."
"What about Bobby?"
Rogue hesitated.
"He'll never want to speak to me again. Good boys always go to the good girls with no children."
"You can't possibly expect me to believe that."
"Well that's what I believe."
A couple moments passed before Rogue asked in a hesitant voice, "Are you sure tests are correct?"
"This thing is never off, no matter how early on you may be." Jean said rubbing the top of the large metal machine. Just looking at it made your head spin wondering how to operate it.
Rogue nodded meekly.
"Sorry." Jean apologized.
"Don't be. Who knows? Something out of this is bound to turn out good, right?" Rogue said placing her hands on her stomach. It was a nervous habit she picked up, "I always have wanted to be a mother. Looks like Christmas came early for me this year."
For the first time in two days Rogue smiled. Jean smiled too.
Everything was going to turn out fine.
A/N: Hopefully I explained this whole thing out a little better. Every thing about the X-Men are high tech and way advanced than modern day technology. So in order to have made the last chapter work I had Jean use a magical mystery machine of wonders that spewed out the truth in record time.
Bear with me on this one.
