Chapter Two.
A/N: Can't say I'm surprised or disappointed about the amount of reviews I got because I kinda expected it, this being an AU and all. But for those of you who did review – thank you, thank you, and thank you! Now that I've got it clear in my mind that I won't be getting much reviews for this story, I've decided that it'll be for fun – YAY! So here's another update... Now for this chapter, Wanda and Pietro are twins but she dropped out of school and got a job to take care of their father. Pietro kept a part-time job and being the braniac he is stuck with school so that he could eventually go on to college, get a degree and a well-paid job to take care of his Dad and sister. Enough said, on with the story.
I don't Own X Men Evolution.

"Dad, I'm home." Pietro walked through the front door and flung his backpack onto the floor. "Dad? Wanda?" He scanned around the living room oddly, realizing that it had been unoccupied for some time now. Wanda hadn't been over today. He sighed nonchalantly and headed for the kitchen... no one there either. He grabbed a can of soda from the fridge and headed upstairs. "Dad? Dad are you home?"
When he mounted the top of the stairs, he could hear his father coughing. He immediately took on a worried look and hurried towards his father's bedroom. "Dad? Dad, are you okay?" Pietro rushed to the bedside.
"Pietro?" His dad wearily opened his eyes... "how was school today son?"
"It was fine. Have you been to see the doctor today dad?" He looked at him concerned.
"This morning I saw another specialist but the answer was the same as always, nothing." His father let out another loud cough.
"Dad this is really weird. I mean there must be someone out there who can find out what's wrong with you."
"Calm down Pietro, it's alright..."
"No, it's not alright, and I wish you would just stop pretending that it is. We don't even know what this is, with each day that passes by you get sicker, I mean you could die any time now." His tone of voice rising with each passing word.
"We have to have faith Pietro and believe that everything will be alright. I have an appointment to see another specialist tomorrow, maybe then we'll find out more." His father stretched out his hand and took that of his son's.
"But what if something does happen to you, what are Wanda and I going to do?"
"Faith Pietro, we have to have faith. Now what about you?"
"What about me Dad?" He stated matter of factly.
"You have graduation soon, have you prepared your speech yet?"
"Nah, not yet. Things have been really busy at the store and Mr. Logan wanted me to take on more hours. But I'll get to it though, there's still plenty time left."
There was a silence that hung between them. Although it was not an uncomfortable one, Pietro still felt the need to eliminate it.
"Dad it's getting late. I'm gonna head over to the store now." He got up and walked to the door.
"Oh Pietro..."
He quickly spun around upon hearing his father speak... "yeah Dad?"
"I just want to thank you." He smiled at his son warmly.
"Thank me?" Pietro held a puzzled expression.
"For holding down a job a the store and still doing well at school. I'm really proud of you son. I love you."
He smiled. "I love you too Dad. I'll see you later."
My dad; the best in world. Even though I don't get to spend as much time with him as I'd like to, I wouldn't trade him in for anything else. He has a rare condition, as a matter of fact it's so rare that no doctor can identify was it is. He's been this way since I was a little boy, so I'm kind of used to him hardly being around. It was harder on Wanda though, having to drop out of school and getting a job. I told her that I should be the one but she stubbornly said me no and insisted that I finish my education. I hated when she got all mom-like on me. Wanda, to know her is to love her.
