Disclaimer: Hey, if I owned Marvel, don't ya think Kitty and Kurt would've
already been together? Shiesse!
Hey, thanks for reviewing everyone! Yay, reviews! I'm sorry it's been so long since I've reviewed, but my comp *grumble*grumble* totally got screwed up, and it took me a while to fix it up. But, no worries, this (hopefully) won't happen again, as I've self-lessly *snort* given up driving lessons for a new computer, all so my reviewers don't have to deal with pregnant (pun intended) pauses and my writing process.
That's crap, and we all know it. I just want a new comp. BTW, I'm gonna wait to get 10 reviews for each chappy I add, so I can accomplish my goal of 120 reviews by the time I hit chappy 20. So, if you want more frequent updates, review! Okay, on with the thanks!
Took- Baggins: LOL, I doubt your stories suck. I don't really think my story sucks, I just think it has some bad parts. This is my baby, and I really like it overall. Besides, I think there's a little pity- whore in us all, and my insecurities just show sometimes. ^.^ And I agree, we all need a guy like Kurt...*takes out Kurt voodoo doll and gives it a tremendous hug* And I don't know what more you could want, then Kurt kicking the sh*t out of Duncan. And I agree, wherein I don't like Lance either.
Mrs. Trunks' Mom: Thanks for the suggestion; I'll think about it. Hmm... Well, I guess you'll just have to keep reading to find out the fate of Baby No Name. Thanks for reviewing!
inuficcrzy: Thanks, I love this story too! I hope you liked the whole Kurt beating Duncan to a pulp. ^.^ Oh, and thanks. It's sweet when readers can tell when I'm going through my bitchy times (that, and I think I probably mentioned it, LOL) And fortunately, the movie theatre where my cell phone WAS STOLEN, I DID NOT LOSE IT AS MY MOTHER CLAIMS called and I got my cell back. YAY! To answer your question, I don't know if I'm going to keep bringing Lance into this story, he's not my fave char, and I don't fell comfortable writing with him. I don't know how he would react to stuff, unlike Kitty and Kurt and the rest.
Rogue: Yay! I love reviews, LOL! Well, as soon as I get my new comp (YAY), I'll probably update more often.
Peaches: Ah! Don't go insane on me; I need as many reviewers as I can get! LOL, who cares? I'm already the Queen of the Nuts. *dances chicken dance to Who Wears Short Shorts? *
Persephone: Thanks for reviewing! Ya, poor Kitty... How much more will I put her through??? *Dun Dun DUN! * Yes, I agreed Duncan deserved all that was coming to him!
Snake: YAY!
Cairo of the Nile: Wow, that's the evil side of you kicking in, huh?
GhettoPixiStixLover: thanks!
todd fan: as I said before, Duncan deserved everything that was coming to him. That's why it was such a fun chappy to write! Yay!
Livi: *joins in the pitchfork poking* Thanks for reviewing!
Lucky439: LOL, you'll just have to wait like everyone else to find out what happens to the baby! Muha HA HA HA HA HA! Sorry about my cliffy habit, but unless they invent a Rehab for cliffy addicts, I don't think I'll be cured any time soon.
Kayla: Like I said, I'll review more often, I promise.
Yelhsa D: Yay, thanks!
kill duncam kill kill kill: Ya, I've been thinking about legal action, but it's not quite what you think... Hmm....
And one very special review is left.
Contradiction: Sup, Sista? Lol, Ya, Kurtty is sweet. Thanks for the review and everything else. You've helped me so much! *hug*
and now the ACTUAL chappy...
Chapter 15
"Katzchen!" Kurt yelled, running to Kitty. He leaned near her, concerned.
Kitty's face flushed, and she took a deep breath. "Yea...I'm fine. I- I- just need something to drink." Kurt rushed over to the sink and filled a glass with water. She gratefully gulped it down.
"You sure you're okay?" Kurt asked. "What happened?"
Kitty looked guilty. "I was picking something up, and I just felt this big pain swell across my stomach. But I'm fine now." She assured him.
"Well, I want to take you down to Mr. McCoy, just in case." Kitty nodded, and he teleported them off to the lab.
When they got there, Kurt ushered Kitty to sit on a large metal table. He called out to Mr. McCoy, who came out.
"Yes, Kurt?" He looked behind him to see Kitty on the table. "Kitty was having some pains, and I wanted to make sure she's alright."
Mr. McCoy went up to Kitty, and began doing routine things, like taking blood pressure and heart rates. He took a small sample of blood.
"Well, Kitty. You and the baby both seem to be fine." he said after a while. "My guess is that your pains were Braxton- Hicks Contractions. They can happen throughout your pregnancy. They're perfectly normal. It's nothing like the real contractions during labor, where the cervix actually opens to allow passage through the birth canal."
Kitty shuddered, imagining her labor. "I think I'll start reading up on this sort of thing." She said.
Mr. McCoy nodded and said, "That would be wise. Now, I think there are some things we should discuss. Do you want a home birth or one in the hospital?"
Kitty looked between Kurt and Mr. McCoy. "I think I'd rather have a home birth. Nothing weird, like, under water or anything, but I just wouldn't feel comfortable in such a cold environment."
"That's perfectly fine" Beast said, finding a clipboard and marking something down. I assume the same will then go for appointments."
"What do you mean?" Kurt asked. "I mean, she should have sonograms, and she'll need physicals to make sure everything is going alright. If you want, I can order some machinery, and we can have it all done here."
Kitty nodded; she liked the sounds of everything being done at home. Ever since mutants had been shown to the world, she only truly felt safe at the institute. She looked down at her already slightly swollen belly. Then a thought hit her.
"Mr. McCoy, is there any way to find out if the baby will have powers, or what they are?"
Beast looked pensive for a moment, and then replied with, "That's a very interesting point, Kitty. I think I might be able to come up with a few things that could help us out. Of course, it's still too early. Alpha- Fetoprotein, a test that determines the risk of neural tube defects and Down Syndrome, can be performed at 16 weeks. You're still around 10 weeks. There's also a CVS, or Chorionic Villus Sampling, which detects fatal genetic defects. You're in just around the right area, and I'll look into giving you one if you're interested."
"Sure," Kitty said, feeling a little overwhelmed. She jumped off the table. "Thanks, Mr. McCoy!" she called, as she and Kurt left.
"Wow," she breathed. "I had no idea this was all so complicated. I'm scared, Kurt! I have no idea what I'm doing, and there's so little time!" she cried.
Kurt comforted her. "Shh, it's okay Katz. You'll be fine. Think of how many women do this everyday. I'm sure you can handle it. Besides, I'm here. And so are the rest of the X-Men. You're not alone, Katz."
"Thanks." She sniffed. "I think I'm going to head over to the bookstore and pick up some books on pregnancy."
"Ya," said Kurt. "You do that. I'd go with you, but I'm grounded."
"Oh, yea." Kitty said. "Well, if you want me to stay-."
"No," Kurt interrupted. "You shouldn't stay because of me. Besides, you deserve some time to yourself, Katz."
"Thanks," she said. She gave him a quick peck, and went to find her coat. She told the professor where she was going, and headed to the nearest Borders.

P.S. Sry, I know this was short. It was a pretty non-actiony chappy, but I'm content with it. Well, it's 2 AM here, so I'm gonna hit the sack. Remember to review! Luv Ya'lls!
