Later….

Okay, it was 11:00 Am when Kat finally arrived home from whatever she was doing the night before (probably still singing with Scott), and she was closely followed by Mel and Kurt who had only just gotten up.

Bounce, Tristan and Jubilee had left us to this pregnancy hunt; however we had been joined by Hank who had heard the news via Richard.

"Kat take a seat…" Hank said shifting off of the sofa to give her room (it was almost as if she was contagious the way he moved).

Bobby burst in at that moment

"Hey guys!" He said marching into the kitchen and bringing in a tub of ice ream to share with Kat.

Wolverine promptly snatched the ice cream off of him with a growl of "Not in her condition"

Bobby just blinked rapidly before wailing "He stole my ice cream!" and running to Hank for comfort.

Wolverine moved towards Kat awkwardly…he wasn't going to…was he? I ran to get a video camera, a tape recorder…anything! I grabbed Mel's Polaroid, that would do!

"I'll make an honest woman outta ya, even if I wanna slice n dice ya everyday of ya life, I promise I will refrain by using alcohol as my will power. I promise you that all of our days will be shitty, but as long as the baby is well cared for who gives a damn!"

Kat burst out laughing, which made Wolverine turn purple "Wolverines pregnant!" She informed the room with a giggle.

We frowned; Mel and Kurt looked on puzzled.

Wolverine gritted his teeth fighting to control his temper "Nah your tha one who's pregnant …" He almost choked as he said the next word "…darlin'"

"I am?" She sounded unconvinced before she remembered something "Yes I am! So hunny bear…" she looked at Wolverine "..What were you saying?" She broke into song before he could answer though. The song happened to be 'The hills are alive with the sound of music', Wolverines favourite, worst song of them all.

"The person who sang that song was a nun, like me!" She announced before continuing her solo

"Kat that song was sung by a nun; however nuns are virgins which is something you are not…apparently!" Mel pointed out gently

"The baby's Jesus!" Kat screamed doing a circuit of the room arms waving, before she sat down again and resumed her song.

"Its no good I just can't do it, I would rather pull out my wind pipe, or have my really sensitive nose positioned by Scott's really smelly arse for the rest of my life than do the honourable thing, if it involves marrying her!" Wolverine pointed a quivering finger at Kat who was still singing and he ran out of the room hands clamped over his ears

Bobby looked at Hank "Goody! I'm going to be a daddy!" He clapped idiotically before stopping and thinking for a moment. "Have you got a shrink ray?"

Hank looked puzzled "No, why?"

"Well I was thinking that if we shrunk you, you could be baby's teddy!"

"Good help this dear sweet unborn child!" Hank said eyes turned skyward

5 Minutes Later

Jubilee walked into the room flanked by Bounce, they had apparently already heard the news.

"Kats having a litter!" Jubilee announced as if we didn't already know

"If she has too many will we have to drown them?" Bounce asked sadly

I worried about them sometimes

Minding my own business

"So how long do you think you've been pregnant?" I asked

Kat merely shrugged

Bobby was so excited by the news he had run straight out to get himself a pregnancy suit, and Hank had suggested to Kat that she look after a bag of sugar as if was a baby to she how she would cope.

Bobby was now wandering around the mansion in a body suit that made him look like he was pregnant. He had been tripped over a grand total of 22 times by Wolverine who was both angry that one of the girls he had trained was up the duff and amused at the thought of Kat looking after a baby.

Richard walked in the room with Hank, to where Bobby was sat in his body suit and Kat was sat munching on her bag of sugar with a spoon. The fore mentioned bag of sugar had writing all over the side in thick black marker, but the handwriting was so atrocious that I couldn't understand what it said, in fact I think a large number of the letters were back to front . It had become a little game between me and Wolverine earlier in the day to try and decipher it.

"Mmm….My babies tasty!" She mumbled to herself

"Poor child!" Beast said sadly

She carried on speaking to her 'baby' obliviously "You came out of my belly, so I can put you back in"

Maybe someone should explain to her that that wasn't a real baby.

"I know to have a child so young when she's still a child herself…or at least seems like one" Richard agreed

"I was referring to the baby whom she is devouring" Hank said with a sad smile

"Oh yeah right!"

Kat suddenly snapped out of her sugar eating trance and noticed Hank and Richard for the first time.

"Do you have a hair of Wolverines?" She asked Hank

"Er no…" He began before I rudely cut in

"There are probably plenty of them in the plug I'd try there"

"Why?" Hank asked clearly puzzled.

"Because I want to clone him and train him then I can pit good Wolverine against scary Wolverine and prey to god the good one prevails otherwise I'll get a hit on the head!"

Richard looked amused as he strode into the kitchen to get a beer (it was a ritual of his: come home from lab, get beer, go back to lab).

 "Kat, I think its more likely you'll get a claw in the gut... you know Wolverines picky about his DNA..." I sad trying to keep a straight face, and failing

Kat looked sadly at her spoon

"Ok... can I try it with Xavier? I can make him have hair and they can have a wheelchair fight a week to amuse us... and do our evil bidding... you didn't hear me say that right..."

"Kat I hate to point out this obvious floor in your plan…" I began before Hank interrupted

"No you don't you love it!"

"Yes, yes I do! Anyway as I was saying Xavier hasn't got any hair so how do you plan on getting his DNA?" I said

"He can't be bald all over surely…" Hank began before I hit him on the head with a rolled up newspaper

"I was hoping you would give me some ideas…" She said imploringly looking specifically at Richard.

"Don't look at me, I gave up evil plans the day I stopped working for Microsoft"

I sat down on the floor "I can't understand anyone wanting kids, their like Vampires they suck you dry then put you in a home."

"Vampires don't put you in a home my dear" Hank pointed out

I pulled a face at him but continued unhindered by his negative comment about my comparison "You know humans are the only animals that have children on purpose, with the exception of guppies, who like to eat theirs!"

Hank looked at me "P.J.O'Rourke?"

"Yup!" I grinned proud of my vast knowledge of quotations.

"I take it you don't want children" Hank said eyebrows raised

"Hell no! The way I see it is all they do is cry, dribble and crap! Then when they talk all they can do is answer back and treat you like your thick, when it is in fact them who are lacking in brains. Then they get older and never visit and shove you in an old people's home that smells either of cabbage or urine, or in some dreadful cases both!!" I ranted

"So you would never consider it? At all?" Hank seemed intrigued

"Well I suppose if I was married…don't get me started on marriage….I don't want to do that either…and my husband really wanted children and I loved him enough then *maybe*." I said considering me with a baby, I'd probably drop it

"What if, god forbid, you had an unplanned pregnancy?" He leaned forward this was the kind of debate Hank liked; where he asked all the questions  

"Abortion, I would only ever consider keeping it if I was in a stable relationship with someone I trusted."

"You're very cynical you know, about everything, life" Richard said waving his hand around the room

"What just because I don't like babies who drool all the time?"

"No just your attitude about life in general"

"And I love you too, now bugger off!"

Kat as a mother what a terrifying thought!!  Ok so Mel's view on the whole thing coming up in the chapter!!

Please do review or you'll be emmmm….ignored!
