Two weeks came and went until it was Christmas day. Most of the kids went home until only Scott, Rogue, Rita, Logan, and Xavier were at the institute. Logan gave Rita a golden locket. A tear ran down her face as she hugged and thanked him. "I've never gotten a gift from anyone before. Thank you." Logan hugged her back, careful not to squeeze her stomach, the Professor noticed.

Three days after Christmas people begun to come home. The first was Evan and Ororo.

"Do they always go away together?" Rita asked Logan as they sat in the rec room.

"Yeah they do, Ororo is Evan's aunt." Said as they watched the T.V.

"I never would have guessed." Rita said standing up and stretching.

At that moment Evan walked in and looked at Rita. "Geese Ri, how much turkey did you eat? You're getting fat." Evan said sitting down and putting 3 cups of coffee down on the coffee table. "I brought us some coffee to sit and drink"

"Sorry even, I can't drink it, for New Years I'm going to make my resolution be giving up caffeine so I can sleep better." Rita said, hoping he would believe it. She stood up and looked at Logan. "I'm going to talk to the Professor."

Rita sat in the all too familiar brown leather chair. She looked into the nice face of the man who had given her a home the last month.

"You wanted to tell me something?" Charles asked the sweet girl that was looking out the window at the iced over pool.

"Oh, yeah" she said, coming back to reality. "I though you should know that I was or am currently pregnant." She said and looked down in her lap.

"I know, I was just waiting for you to tell me." Charles explained.

"And you aren't mad?" Rita was just as shocked as the day she found out.

"What you did was yours and Logan's choice, not mine but I trust you will tell the others soon. And that you both will keep and care for the child. It would also be a good chance to see if the X-Factor is hereditary." Charles finished, and wheeled around to hug Rita. "Congratulations Rita, and congratulate Logan as well."
