"Nah just keep this kid around for yourself." Pietro said.

"Rogue's too young to have a kid." Jean said.

"Coming from someone who thought the kid was really Rogue's." Evan said ignoring the evil glare Jean had shot him.

"He's cute, yo." Todd said looking at him. "Do I get to be his uncle?"

Rogue and Pietro exchanged looks. "Okay ah'm goin` ta put him in his stroller an` tahke him fer a walk now."

"Where's you get the stroller from?" Fred asked.

"I walked back over this morning to the house that was having the yard sale yesterday and got the stroller and a crib. They didn't have a changing table though." Ororo said.

"Need some company?" Kurt asked.

"No it's okay. Ah think ah can tahke Colin on his walk by mahself." Rogue said smiling as she left.

************************************

"So are we going to like keep him?" Kitty asked.

The Professor didn't know how to answer this. "We're not sure yet Kitty. We're thinking of this being a trial run on if we keep Colin or not. For all we know he may be the only person Rogue can touch without getting hurt."

"But also having a baby around is a lot of responsibility, too much for one person." Logan said.

"I'll come over and help if I had to." Pietro said.

"I think we need to have him be able to trust the rest of us." Scott said. "I mean if Rogue gets sick we can't have Colin around her."

"So we'll take him to our house, yo." Todd said.

"I don't think I like the idea of Colin near of you unless we're around or Rogue." Evan said.

************************************

Rogue sighed as she checked on Colin in his stroller. His head was back and his eyes were roaming looking at everything around him. For once she felt happy, being able to touch someone, plus he was super cute. "Well, what do we have here?" A male voice asked.

Rogue stopped and saw Duncan Matthews and a couple of his friends. "Jean's at tha Institute if yer lookin` fer her."

"Maybe we were looking for you."

"Ah doubt it."

"So a baby. Guess that explains all that extra weight you've been putting on. So who's the father of him? Wait let me guess Summers?"

One of his friends laughed. "Yea right. Summers don't go near the Goth when he's got someone like Taryn to keep him happy."

"Would ya just let us pass?" She asked getting annoyed and didn't want to do something she'd really regret for the rest of her life.

"Not until you tell us who the father is."

************************************

Colin looked up and around his mother-look-a-like and saw some big guys. He didn't like them at all. They scared him. He started to whimper. She moved around his stroller, unbuckled him and picked him up. He wrapped his tiny arms around her scared.

************************************

Pietro began to get bored with the X-Men arguing with them and quickly took off out of the front door. He headed in the direction Rogue took Colin and stopped quickly when he saw Duncan and some of his jock friends bother her. His anger raised her he casually walked over. "Problem here, Rogue?"

"No they were just leavin` rahght?" She asked glaring at them.

One of Duncan's friends covered his eyes. "Oh no the Glare of the Goth."

"You know we won't leave until you tell us what we want to know." Duncan said. "Whose the father of your 'ugly' baby there."

Before Duncan could stop him a fist hit his face causing him to stumble back. He quickly put his hand up to his bleeding nose. "What the fuck?"

"Don't ever call my baby ugly." Pietro growled as he put his arm around Rogue.

************************************

Colin cooed happily and touched Pietro's face. He did what he couldn't do and hurt one of the mean people. He was also near her, which made him happier.

************************************

"Whatever, let's get out of here." Duncan said as they walked off.

"Thanks Pietro ah owe ya one."

Pietro shook his head. "Don't worry about it Rogue. He deserved it and besides he kind of his my kid since he thinks I'm his dad and that your his mom."

"Ah guess so." Rogue said smiling at him.

Pietro gulped softly as he looked at Rogue. She was always beautiful but with holding the baby she looked like some sort of Goddess. He slowly leaned towards her as she leaned towards him. Both of they're eyes closed as they're lips neared.

"Hey are you guys okay!" Kitty asked running towards them followed by the Brotherhood and half of the X-Men.

"Damn." Pietro said under his breath as Rogue and he quickly put some distance between them.

"Yea we're fahne why?"

"Duncan stopped by with a bloody nose." Lance said grinning. "Nice going Pietro."

"Well, next time he calls my baby 'ugly' he'll get a lot worse." He said still angry mostly at them coming at a bad time.
