Yay! Chappy 10! I finally feel good about this story again. The rough time has passed! Yay!

Kurt was in shock. Had he heard correctly? He stopped the embrace.
"Kitty?" he asked carefully. "What did you just say?"
Through tears in her eyes, Kurt could see a wide smile.
"I love you, Kurt."
His heart leaped. "You love me?" he asked, incredulously. "Mein gott, Katzchen!" he cried. He lifted her up and swung her around.
"Oof, Kurt!" Kitty said. "Careful." She was still in pain, and weak.
"Oh, Kitty." he said. "I'm so sorry. I was just so happy!" His face glowed. He put her gently in bed, and smiled.
"Ever since I met you, Katz, I was head over heels for you." Kurt said, lovingly.
"I didn't know how I felt, Kurt. Then, I realized it. It was like- like-." She said, unable to find the right words.
"Like a giant load was lifted off, no?" Kurt finished knowingly.
"Yes. It was." Kitty smiled. Looks like her life wasn't so horrible after all.
* * * * *
Kitty grumbled. "Mmmph." she said, still waking up. She sat up in be, and looked over at her clock. 8:09 AM. Breakfast would be in about 20 minutes. Just enough time to shower and dress.
She got up, and enjoyed the feel of carpeting under her feet. Last night, Xavier had allowed her to move back up to her room.
Xavier already knew about everything that had happened. She had permitted him to probe her mind after she had told Hank.
He, too, told her she should feel free to discuss anything with her housemates. She had told him she'd think about it, not intending to.
Now, as she turned on the water, she thought it might not be such a bad idea. When Xavier had proposed it, she was still going through a rough time.
Now, she and Kurt had a date tomorrow night, and she had pretty much moved on.
She got into the shower, enjoying the feeling of the steaming water hitting her skin. She scrubbed herself clean, and, as she had done for the past two weeks, found her hand lying gently over her abdomen.
Kitty wondered about the small life growing inside of her. She would have to tell them soon. She didn't know when it would begin to show. Maybe tonight was a good time, after everyone had had dinner.
Tonight was Friday night, and, at the Xavier Institute, that meant movie night.
_Yes._ Kitty decided. _Tonight, I'll tell them._ She stood in the shower, just stood.
* * * * *
"That movie was great!" Jean said, talking about the just watched, Bang Bang You're Dead. Everyone agreed.
Kitty was lying in Kurt's waist, watching his tail flick back and forth lazily. They were on the couch.
_Do it now._ She thought to herself. _I don't know._ She was nervous. She had already needed to relive the events twice before, and it was painful each time. _Coward. They say it gets easier each time._ So she took a deep breath, and said, "Guys? Could I talk to you for a minute?"
Jean, Scott, Rogue, Evan, Kurt, and Ororo looked toward her. Professor X and Beast nodded their heads encouragingly.
"Um, I think it's only fair that I told everyone about, you know. What happened." She said, looking down.
"Kitty," Kurt began. "You don't have to-."
"Yes," Kitty interrupted him. "I do."
She took another deep breath, and began.
"Remember, about two months ago, how we went to Mitch Conner's party?" she asked. Jean, Scott, and Rogue nodded.
"Well, I got a little drunk there. I wanted to be a lone for a while, so I headed upstairs. I went into a bedroom, and lay down. By this time, I could barely see two inches in front of me.
"I was waiting for it all to pass, when someone came in. It was Duncan Mathews. He- he- he raped me."
Everyone gasped. The boys looked extremely angry, especially Kurt. The girls all looked sympathetically at Kitty, and she looked down. Scott looked pissed off, and was about to say something, but Jean shook her head at him.
After a few moments of silence, Kitty continued. "I- I didn't know what to do. I don't remember much after that, I think I cried a bit, got dressed, and then it was time to come home.
"I didn't tell anyone what had happened. I was still in shock. I went to school, did my homework, and kept my mouth shut. I avoided the football team in the halls. For all I knew, life was back to normal.
"Then I began feeling sick. I had dizzy spells, and nausea. So I went to a doctor's office. And he told me I was pregnant."
Again, everyone gasped. Kitty now had tears in her eyes, remembering everything. Before anybody could say anything else, she kept on.
"That night, I was extremely depressed. I don't remember much, except that Rogue came in and comforted me. I think I began screaming, and the professor," Kitty gave a nod in his direction, "gave me some sleeping pills. And then I dreamt. Horrible images flashed through my mind, and when I woke up, the room was dark. I thought my life was over, and I went to the bathroom and finished off 3 prescriptions."
Kitty was now silently crying. No one moved. Everyone was in shock. Then, Kurt gave Kitty a hug.
"It's alright, Katz. We're here for you." She embraced him, and said, "Thanks. It's good to know I have you guys."
"Kitty, we're glad that you felt you could tell us all this. We know it must have been hard." Jean said warmly.
Ororo went up to Kitty and hugged her as well. "Yes, Kitten. We'll help you. Now you've been through quite an ordeal, so maybe you should go up to your room and get some rest."
Kitty nodded, and stood up. Kurt led her back to her bedroom.
Everyone now knew, and Kitty was drained. She *had* gone through a lot. Kurt stuck her under the covers.
With a peck on the cheek, he left the room.
Before closing the door, he turned around and said quietly, "Sleep well, my love."
* * * * *
Oh, wow! I must admit, this chappy was a long time coming. But now I face a dilemma. From the beginning, I planned to have the baby die. But now I am not so sure. I think this could work, and besides, kitty's gone through enough, don't ya think? Anyhoo, what I am going to do is this. I'm going to give ya'll a week. I'm putting out a vote to decide whether or not baby no name lives or dies. Whichever choice was the most votes, wins. Personally, I want the baby to live. But it's in all of your hands now. Please Review! Night!
