Nobody but the telepaths knew anything was amidst by dinner time.
The Professor sensed heavy burdens on both Jamie and Kitty as they made
their way into the dining area. The only one's missing were Rogue and Remy
who were eating in Rogue's bedroom and Logan and Kelly. A few minutes
later Kelly came in, alone, with a smile on her face and a sparkle in her
eye. The tension was so thick that it could be cut with a blunt scissor.
Jean was calmly pouring herself some soda when she dropped the bottle on the counter and grabbed her head. The anger and fear overwhelmed her thoughts and she excused herself and ran to her room while trying to block out the thoughts. Scott quickly entered and grabbed her in a warm hug, stroking her face.
"Are you all right?" he asked, his voice full of concern and his brows furrowed. Jean breathed in deeply and relaxed as she gained control.
"I'm better, I just-I lost it for a minute there. I felt Kitty and Jamie's thoughts so clearly and it was too painful," she said. Scott pulled her closer if that was possible, and murmured soothing words. She snuggled closer and closed her eyes. "Something's not right Scott. They were thinking about Kelly," she said. Scott pulled away slightly and gave her a weird look.
"Kelly? Why would they think about Kelly?" he asked. Jean shrugged and stared at her doorway, fear that wasn't her own making her shiver. "I'll talk to the Professor to see if he knows anything." Scott offered and he comforted her, forgetting about the meal awaiting them below.
***
Bobby and Ray finished wiping up the spilled soda after the Professor received a mental message from Scott saying Jean was okay. They all sat down at the dinner table in preparation of taking their meal. Kelly stood up and said that she had an announcement to make.
"Everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that Logan and I are having a baby," she said. She bit her lower lip in a mock attempt to look innocent. Before anyone could say a word, or question Logan's absence, Jamie vomited on the floor. His retches caused everyone but Kitty and the Professor to forget the news.
The motherly instincts in Ororo kicked in and along with Hank she took Jamie to the med lab. Kelly's mind shifted to intense anger and the Professor looked her way. Her thoughts weren't controlled right now and he got a nasty glimpse into her personality when he 'overheard' her call Jamie a 'little sh*t'.
He allowed his mind to wander and when he met Jamie's all he picked up was pain, fear and dread. Than he remembered his conversation with Kitty when she had first returned and how she had asked him to watch out for Kelly. He felt guilty at having allowed that to slip his mind. At first everyone had been wary of her until Logan had begun showing trust and allowing her to join them on assignments, he had taken her in just like he had everyone else. Logan could always sense someone's true self, even if they were lying, now the Professor wondered if Logan and he could have failed for the first time.
He made his way down to the med lab after they finished cleaning up the mess and he looked at the pale young teen lying on the bed. Jamie was asleep and looked peaceful regardless of what had occurred. The Professor allowed his mind to enter Jamie's and went through the past couple of days. At fifteen Jamie (1) was just beginning to grow up, but he was stuck in the nastiness of puberty and teenage angst that came along with it and hadn't yet learned to maintain his control.
A memory caused the Professor to gasp. He then realized why Jamie had reacted the way he had at Kelly's announcement. There was more to this and he regretted having allowed her to join the institute, all that had occurred was his own fault. He made his way to Kitty to speak to her and to take action.
***
At the same time as the Professor was dealing with Jamie, Kitty had spilled to Rogue everything that had occurred. She sobbed as she told Kelly's announcement and then went back to tell her about her relationship with Logan. Rogue held Kitty in her arms and began to tell her it wasn't worth it until her memory returned of what happened before she had been attacked.
"Oh my God! Kitty I just remembered something!" Rogue said.
"What is it?" Kitty said, the hot tears still flowing.
"Kelly was talking to someone on the phone about Logan not being the father! You have to tell him Kitty!" Rogue said, she tried to climb out of the bed but she winced at the pain in her back, her reason for not coming down to dinner.
"He might not believe me. He'll think I'm jealous," Kitty said. Rogue grabbed her upper arm.
"You have to tell him Kitty," Rogue said. Kitty nodded and kissed Rogue on the cheek before leaving the room to find Logan. She went to his bedroom and knocked on the door. Kelly opened it with red eyes.
"What do you want?" she half screamed. Kitty noticed the anxiety and wondered what was going on.
"I wanna talk to Logan," she stated and tried to make her way in the room. The next thing she knew. She was holding her bleeding arm from a large iron shard that Kelly had shot. The pain was overwhelming since it had cut her deep but she stood up to make her way into the room. When she phased through the door she found nothing but blood on the floor and the large balcony windows open, blood trailing past the door. No Logan was in sight.

Kelly buckled her seat and looked back at the sprawled form of Logan on the corner of the helicopter. She turned her face towards her partner, Gavin, who gave her a wink. Their plan was going to get solved. She drove the copter and wondered how he had managed to guide it to the institute when he could barely move because of the weakness of his bones. They'd need to do the surgery as soon as possible, and she couldn't wait to begin.

Crummy Chapter? Yes, I agree. Sorry for the late updating. I really am. When I wrote (1) its cause I had a major plot hole, if years had passed than Jamie has to be fifteen at the minimal. So hopefully the crappy explanation helped. Anyway, Review please. And thanks for sticking by me. Love you all! Plus read RoadTrip! By ScitzyJadedCookieChaos if you'd like. Thanks.
