Rogue had finished changing his diaper and putting some new clothes on him as she carried him downstairs with Kitty and Kurt behind her to give him a bottle. "Rogue where's the ski mask?" Jean asked.
"Ah don` need it."
"Ze baby can touch Rogue vithout her absorbing him." Kurt said.
"That's great news." Bobby said smiling.
"Ah guess so." She said moving him to her hip as she opened the refrigerator and took out the milk.
"I'll get it for you." Evan said grabbing a bottle from the diaper bag and poured some milk in it and put it in the microwave for forty-five seconds. "Um... how do you check if it's warm enough and not too hot?"
"You like dab it on your arm." Kitty said doing so. "Perfect." She said handing it to Rogue.
"Thanks ya two." She said moving the baby once again and put the bottle in his mouth.
*******************************
He put his tiny hands around it as much as he could and drank the milk. He was happy he was in her arms again and she didn't have on that funny hat. If he had found someone that looked so much like his mommy, maybe he would find someone that looked a lot like his daddy too.

The doorbell rang and the students looked up. "That would be the police." Ororo said going to answer the door.
The professor moved as he went into the entry hall where Ororo was letting the two police officers in. "Good morning officers."
"Good morning Professor Xavier." One said tilting his hat at hi. "You said you had a baby here?"
"Yes, he was left on our doorstep yesterday evening."
"Well, we got some good news and some bad news about the child and it's parents." The second officer said.
"Better let them say the good news first Chuck." Logan said.
"Um... where is the baby?"
"He's having a bottle now." Ororo said.
"Well, we did discover who he is. His name is Colin Mandrake and he's eighteen-months-old. His parent's names are Michael and Celina."
"And where are they?"
The officers both looked at each other. "They came to the station yesterday after you made your phone call to us. Said they left they're child in the care of some people at the Xavier Institute. Told us everything we needed to know about him. We tried to get more out of them like why they left him but they drove us. Here's the bad news. They died in a car accident last night and the baby has no living relatives."
"That's terrible!" Ororo gasped.
"Yes and we have two choices for you. To give us the baby and we'll place him in an orphanage or you can adopt the baby."
The professor sighed. They were too busy and had too much of dangerous lives to keep the baby around, but thought about one of his students. The untouchable girl who could touch the baby without harming it. "Do we get time to think this over?"
"Of course. We'll give you a week." The first one said handing some envelopes to him. "His parents gave these to us.
Logan opened them and stared in shock what was in the huge manila envelopes. Three of them were full of hundred dollar bills, two were full of coupons for food and diapers, and one had a letter with a picture. "Now I know why the baby went straight to Rogue." He said showing the picture to Ororo and the professor.
In it was a happy looking couple and the baby. The woman had on Goth make-up and a white stripe in her hair. The father was tall, lean, and had light blonde hair almost white. "Know who this reminds me of." Ororo said.
"Yes, Pietro Maximoff." Professor Xavier said.
