The next day…

(5th Week)

"Are you ok?" Bobby asked knocking on the bathroom door.

"What are you doing?" Rogue passed by and gave him a weird look.

"Uh…nothing, just waiting for the bathroom," He tried to smile normally, trying to hide his nervousness.

"Ok, what happened?" She was getting ready to take off her glove.

"Nothing, I'm waiting," He chuckled nervously.

"You have your own bathroom," she pointed out, "you can read. It says, 'Girls.' Who's in there?"

"I'm ok, go before someone…"Kitty stuck her head out, and was surprised to see Rogue there, "heh…hi Rogue."

"What are you doing?"

"Bobby tell her. Be right back," She disappeared back inside.

"Um…," He moved closer to her to whisper, "she's taking a pregnancy test."

Rogue's eyes bugged out.

"Go in there, she might need you more than she needs me," He knocked on the door and walked away.

Kitty poked her head out again.

"Are you done?"

She nodded.

"Do you want me to wait with you?"

Kitty let her in.

"Are you ok?" Rogue asked as Kitty sat with her back on the wall, while she copied her.

"No. My future lies in this test. But thanks for being here," She exhaled slowly.

Rogue was silent, she felt like this wasn't the time talk, just to listen.

"I don't know what to do anymore. I've got a great job, and I'm really going somewhere. Am I ready to give it all up?" Kitty covered her face with her hands.

Rogue scooted closer to her just to let her know that she was still there.

"If it's negative, then nothing will change, and I'll stay from this for a very, very long time," She started.

"But what if it's positive?" Rogue shut her mouth right after that, she shouldn't have said anything.

"I know abortion is wrong, but…but no. It's wrong, I won't do it," Kitty shook her head.

"I agree, but there's also adoption, I mean I was," Rouge added.

"I know, because then I wouldn't have to put my career on hold. But I can't do that though, I couldn't bear having my child calling someone else, "Mother." No. I'll keep him or her," She decided.

"What are your choices?" Rogue asked.

"Abortion, but I'm not doing that. Marriage, but I don't think Pietro would want to marry me. Not adoption. That leaves me with single parenthood I guess," Kitty sighed.

Beep. Beep.

Rogue looked and it was Bobby's stop watch. She folded her hands and closed her eyes.

Kitty got up, took a deep breath, and with shaking hands picked it up. She gasped and covered her mouth with her hand. The test was positive.

Rogue opened her eyes, and watched as Kitty sunk to the floor and started crying.

She rushed to her and opened her arms, while Kitty cried.

An hour later, Bobby felt it was about time to check on Kitty. He checked the bathroom first, but it was empty, so he went to her room.

Knock. Knock.

"Come in," Rogue called out.

"How'd it go?" He asked walking in.

Kitty was lying in bed, with her back facing Rogue, breathing slowly.

He went to her side of the bed and saw her tear-stained face.

"Bobby, I'm pregnant," She said softly.

"I know," He sighed, "we're here ok? Get some rest. You need it."

"Thanks Rogue," He mouthed before he walked out.

She nodded.

A couple hours later…

"You should tell the Professor, you know he's just waiting for you to tell him," Rogue suggested.

"I know. I'm just scared. He's going to call my parents," Kitty pursed her lips together.

"They're going to have to find out anyway," Rogue added.

Kitty nodded, "It's now or never."

"Good luck," Rogue wished.

"Thanks," Kitty took a deep breath and phased downstairs.

*Come in Kitty* The Professor sat in the Library.

"Hi Professor," Kitty half-smiled.

The Professor just watched her as she sat down.

"I know you already know what's going on. But I'm telling you, because I'm not really sure of what to do," She admitted.

"Thank you for coming to me. I will contact your parents, do you want to tell them or would you like me too?" He asked.

"Me, but I do want you to be there, because I know my dad will not be as understanding as you," She replied.

"Ok, I'll set an appointment with them to come here. Are you going to tell Pietro? Because it's up to you," He stated.

She nodded, "It's his child too."

"You made the right decision, because you will not take all the blame in this, both of you will have to face the consequences of your actions," He stated.

"I know," She agreed.

"That means his family should be there too," He added.

"What?"

"Kitty, since you've decided to tell him, you've both have to make a decision with what you're going to do," He pointed out.

"Ok," She numbly agreed.

"I'll tell you when the date is after I talk to your parents, thank you Kitty," He made his way to the phone.

"No, thank you Professor, you've been so understanding," She hugged him and then walked out.

Author's Notes: Ok, so the truth is out, and now I can tell you the real reason for the number of weeks at the beginning of every chapter, it's the number of weeks she's been pregnant. I hope that wasn't confusing. So here's chapter 5.
