Chapter 10: Who Knew?!-Killing is Lucrative
I own nothing
Later that night, around 11:30 to be specific, Mystique and Magneto were sitting in bed.
"This was unexpected-" said Mystique not sure how to react, "I don't blame her for being upset. I just happy Toad had the boy in the lab during her little electrical out burst."
"Well it certainly explains why she was so sick during the first trimester," said Magneto as he went back through the paperwork Xavier faxed over.
"Three against one hardly seems fair," said Mystique.
"I think you mean three mutants against one mutant," said Magneto.
"What?! How can you tell?" asked Mystique, "It still so early."
"It seems they've inherited more from their father than we would have thought," said Magneto with a smile.
"What do you mean?" asked Mystique completely bewildered.
"What does that look like to you?" asked Magneto tracing part of the ultrasound with his index finger.
"It looks like a-Well, they are all boys," said Mystique rather flustered.
"It's not," chuckled Magneto.
"Then what is it?!" asked Mystique shooting him a superior look.
"A tail."

The next morning Victor woke up, took a shower and got dressed, while Storm lay completely under the covers.
"I'm going to the kitchen. What do you want?" he asked.
The lump under the comforter the bed didn't move.
Victor rolled his black eyes, "I know you're no asleep!"
Still nothing.
"Fine," sighed Victor. If there was one thing he had learned quickly, it was to leave Storm alone when she was upset.
Storm was in no mood to move. Her body ached and a migraine was threatening to ruin an already horrific morning.
Victor just had to say one more thing, "Are you sure you want to by laying on your stomach?"
FWAP!-Victor got winged with a pillow.
"I'm going, I'm going," said Victor as he put the pillow back down on bed and headed out the door.
-------------
Meanwhile in the lab the teens were sitting around on their asses, while Mystique flipped through a magazine and Toad worked on the hard drive of a computer.
The teens knew something was up, just not what.
~Silence~
Rogue was the first to break it, "Are you gonna tell us what's goin' on or do Ah have to kill John?"
"For the love of everything holy!-she not kidding," said John nervously.
"He's got a point," said Bobby with a grin.
Toad looked over at Mystique.
"No secrets this time," she decreed.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiip-Toad sent a Xerox across the table to the teens.
"The hell-" Py cocked his head like a puppy, "What is this a fuzzy blueprint of a pyramid?"
Rogue rolled her eyes, "It's an ultrasound, dumb ass."
"What are we supposed to be looking at?" asked Bobby inquisitively.
"Triplets, all male," explained Mystique.
Speaking of triple-Can I get a tripple jaw drop?!
-------------
Later that day around 6ish, pm that is, Victor returned to the room with a tray of food. Don't get me wrong, he would have returned earlier, but both Magneto and Mystique had advised him otherwise.
She was still under the comforter.
"Go away!" she grumbled from beneath the covers.
"You haven't eaten all day!" objected Victor.
"I don't~Nnnnnngh~care!" Storm insisted.
"Sounds like-they-do,"said Vic raising an eyebrow.
"Ugh, fine," Storm seceded by sitting up in bed.
He put the tray down over her knees.
"You want to tell me what all of this is about?" asked Vic as he popped a beer for himself.
Storm was silent for a minute, "I'm sorry Victor, but one was bad enough-"
"The hell is that supposed to mean?" said Vic getting a little more than defensive.
"I mean financially wise-one child is expensive enough, but three?"
Victor laughed, "Is that all?!"
"Well, no," said Storm a little confused at his reaction, "I mean we also need a house, then there's the whole mutant issue and I never planned on living at the Institute my entire life. I also always planned on having children-I just never planned on when-and-I still have to tell the kids!"
"Whoa, clam down-one problem at a time," Victor attempted to put Storm's mind at ease.
"Firstly, the ankle biters already know and once they got over their initial shock Mystique told me they're all really excited and secondly," Victor got up and retrieved a small object from the top drawer of the bureau and handed it to Storm.
"A bank book?!" ok it's safe to say-now-she was confused. She had always pictured Victor as a man who lived life day to day, so to speak.
"And if you want a house all I have to do is make a call," he said rubbing one of her stomach.
Storm opened her the book and her jaw dropped (That's been happening a lot- huh?), "V-V-Victor there's 2.6 billion dollars in here!"
"Ya," said Vic rubbing the back of his neck, "I have twelve more of those laying around here somewhere."
