(6th Week)
"Are you ready?" Amara asked.
"I hope so. How do I look?" Kitty asked looking into the mirror.
"Beautiful," Jean smiled as she walked in.
Kitty started pacing.
"Don't worry, I'm sure it'll turn out ok," Tabitha commented while she flipped through a magazine/
"We're here for you ok? No matter what," Jubilee promised.
"Thanks you guys. I know I can't do this without you," Kitty smiled. She was glad that they were just as understanding as the Professor, the only ones still weren't talking to her were Scott and Logan.
"Kitty! You're folks are here!" Jamie yelled from downstairs.
"Kitty!" Mrs. Pryde hugged her daughter.
"Hi Mom! Hi Dad!" Kitty greeted her parents.
"You remember Ororo and Mr. McCoy right? Mr. Logan is out of town right now," Kitty gestured toward them.
"Of course," Mr. Pryde replied, and soon her parents were chatting away with her Instructors.
Kitty let a deep breath and smiled at the girls watching from upstairs.
"Father, what are we doing here?" Wanda asked.
"Same question. And why just us?" Pietro questioned.
"I'm just as clueless as the two of you," Magneto replied, dressed like he usually would when he wasn't wearing his cape and helmet.
"Come in Erik, we've been waiting for you," The Professor let them in.
"Nice to see you too Charles," Magneto walked in.
Pietro looked around and saw that everyone was just watching him, not the way they usually would. 'Something must be up,' He thought.
The Professor led them into one of the living rooms, and Pietro was surprised to see Kitty, Ororo, and a middle aged couple inside. There were two couches on the opposite sides of the room. The couple was in one, while Kitty sat next to Ororo on one of the two couches in the middle of the room.
"Mr. and Mrs. Pryde, I'd like you to meet Mr. Lensherr, and his children, Pietro and Wanda," The Professor set himself between the two couches in the center of the room.
Wanda and her father sat on the couch opposite of the Pryde's, while Pietro sat by himself on the couch by the Professor.
"I know you are all wondering why you are here, but please be patient, there's something that must be done first. Ororo may you please excuse Pietro and Kitty for a while," The Professor started.
*What are you up to Charles?* Magneto asked.
*You have to wait Erik,* He replied.
"Ok, what's going on?" Pietro asked.
Kitty was just quiet following Ororo into the Library.
Once they were inside, Ororo left, and they sat down.
"I'm sorry," Kitty whispered.
"What?" Pietro asked.
"I said, I'm sorry," She repeated louder this time.
He looked at her, she looked nervous, "Do you mind telling me what's going on?"
Kitty took a deep breath. "Pietro, I don't know if you know or not, but I'm…um...I'm..."
"Out with it Pryde!" He added sarcastically.
"You know what; you're not making it any easier! I was at least hoping to let you know when I'm in a good mood, but you ruined it!" She shouted.
"What is it?" He started showing his irritation.
"I'm pregnant Pietro. Are you happy now?" Kitty seethed and rested her head in her hand.
"Are you sure?"
"Pietro why would I tell you if I wasn't. My trip to the doctor earlier this week confirmed it. I wanted to let you know because this child belongs to you too. That's why we're all here today, because I want to tell our parents," Kitty stated.
Pietro was silent.
"Well…aren't you going to say something? Or I have finally shut the 'Speed Demon' up?" She rolled her eyes in emphasis, "don't you dare blame me for this. It's your fault too!"
He finally looked at her, but he still didn't say something.
"We have to go back in there and tell them. If you leave now, I'm still going to tell them" She stated.
"Who said I'm leaving? I'm staying. What are we going to say though?" He finally asked.
"I don't know, I'll just tell them what happened," She replied.
"You're not going to go into details are you Pryde?"
"I'm not stupid Pietro! I'd rather not think about that night anyway," She got up and phased through the door.
"We can't go in there fighting, it'll only make things worse," He suggested.
"Then stop being a jerk!" She phased through some more walls just to get away from him.
Kitty came into the room, "Where's Pietro?" Ororo asked.
"Coming," She sat down, and tried not to show her frustration.
*Kitty you have to calm down* The Professor stated.
She frowned, but nodded.
Pietro walked in.
"Ok, so why are we here?" Wanda asked.
"Kitty has something to say to all of you," The Professor explained.
"I know you can't promise to nervous, "I'm pregnant."
Mrs. Pryde gasped, while Mr. Pryde turned red.
*Charles, please don't let be what I'm thinking,* Magneto looked to the Professor.
"So why are we here?" Wanda asked, not caring at all if Kitty was pregnant, it isn't her problem, sure she felt sorry for the girl, but she didn't want to be in X-Men territory just to hear that.
"Because I'm the father," Pietro answered.
"How could you let this happen?" Magneto started yelling, "There better not be others Pietro! How could you have been so stupid?"
Wanda was just as bad. "You moron! How could you do that to a sweet girl like Kitty?"
Kitty bit her lip as she looked at her mom, who was crying now, and her dad was ready to do the same thing Magneto was doing. Ororo went over to her mother to try to comfort her.
"Kitty, we thought you'd know better!" Mr. Pryde pointed his finger angrily at her. "And we let you come stay here thinking they'd take care of you."
"It's not the Professor's fault. It's mine. It did it. I'm twenty-two years old now Dad, the Professor let's us make our own decisions, let me. And now I'm facing the consequences of my actions," She tried to blink back her tears.
"You had your whole life ahead of you! You have a great job and everything! How did you let this happen?"
Kitty started chewing on her lip, and looked at her mom, who was now crying. She saw Pietro getting yelled at, the same exact way she was.
"She better be the only one Pietro!"
"She is, I swear!" He yelled right back.
"I thought we taught you morals!" Mr. Pryde shouted.
"So how did this happen?" Mrs. Pryde sobbed.
"I don't want to talk about it," Kitty answered.
"She's an X-Man stupid! We're part of the Brotherhood! They're the good guys, we're the bad guys! What's going to happen to us now?" Wanda shouted.
"Your enemies?" Mr. Pryde asked.
"Not entirely," She answered
"How come you never told us about him?" Mrs. Pryde sniffled.
"Why do I need to? We're not even together," Kitty replied.
"What?" Mr. Pryde had a vein popping out on his forehead.
"Was this a one night stand Honey?" Mrs. Pryde asked.
"You could say that," Kitty replied.
"Oww!" Pietro yelled.
Wanda was hexing her twin like crazy, while her father kept yelling.
Kitty's mother kept on crying, while her father was doing the same thing Magneto was doing.
Kitty sighed.
More yelling.
"Do you think yelling at us is going to change anything! I don't think so. This baby is still inside me and there's nothing you can do to change that," She shouted back.
*That is enough* The Professor sighed. *All of you need to understand what's done is done. Kitty's right, yelling won't do anything.*
Mr. Pryde calmed down and sat down next to his wife who was now just sniffling.
"Kitty wanted to let you know because she believes all of you have a right to know. Pietro and Kitty already know the consequence of their action, and now it's up to them on what to do," The Professor stated.
"How many weeks?" Mrs. Pryde asked.
"Five," Kitty replied.
"Have you thought about what you're going to do Kitty?" Magneto asked. He felt responsible for all of this. The only thing he wanted right now is for his grandchild to never go through what any of his children went through.
"I'm not having an abortion, but I don't want to give him or her up for adoption either. I want to keep this child," She replied.
"Are you going to marry my daughter now?" Mr. Pryde asked.
The word, 'marriage,' made Pietro flinch.
"No, he won't," Magneto interrupted, "If they marry, they'll just separate, it'll just traumatize the child."
Mr. Pryde agreed, "But what will Pietro do then?"
"Can you support both yourself and the baby?" Mr. Pryde asked.
"I should be able to, my job pays good money," She answered.
"Kitty, you can't work, and raise the baby alone at the same time," Mrs. Pryde commented.
"That's shouldn't be a problem," Magneto said.
"And why is that?" Pietro asked.
"Because you have to take responsibility with what you've done," Wanda hated her brother even more now.
"What? You want me to pay child support?" Pietro sat down comfortably now since the yelling was over.
"No, you won't have to," Magneto answered, "I hope you don't mind, but I have an idea for their consequence."
Pietro and Kitty looked at each other and exchanged nervous looks.
"Go ahead, let's hear it," Mr. Pryde listened intently.
"I say they move in together, Pietro works, while Kitty takes care of the baby. Pietro supply the needs while Kitty takes care of the house. So no matter what, the child will always have both parents, than having to always take turns. I don't want my grandchild ever turning out the way my children did. I know I haven't been a good father, but now I need to make things right with my grandchild. The presence of both parents makes a difference, if they're raised right. Kitty turned out fine, I'm sad to mine didn't," Magneto explained.
"We could try it out and see if it works," replied Mr. Pryde.
"Are they actually agreeing on something?" Kitty asked.
Pietro nodded, he looked terrible. Wanda really did a good job making him pay.
"Question, if we're both adults now, how come you're deciding what we're going to do?" Kitty butted in.
"Because the decision you made got you in this position, now it's not only you that you have to care about now, so we're going to make sure to make the right one," Mr. Pryde answered.
"I agree," Magneto was calm now.
"I think its better this way, but what about their love life? Will they still be dating?" Wanda asked.
"I don't really see a problem right now, but sooner or later it will be, but for now it's fine. We have two rules for the two of you having the baby, you will not be sleeping with anyone period, except each other, which I doubt will happen anyway, but still. If this happens, the one who did it can not even touch the baby anymore. No drinking and no drugs. If this happens, the one who broke it will have to return home for a week, at either the Institute or the boarding house, and only telephone calls are the only contact allowed between parent and child," Magneto stated.
"I like it," Mr. Pryde looked to the Professor.
"Is it alright with the two of you because we'd like your opinion as well?" The Professor questioned.
"Since we're allowed to date, what happens if we find someone we'd like to marry?" Kitty asked.
"That's the only way for you to get out of this. Marriage, but you can not marry just to marry, you have to be sure that this person is the one who you think will be a good parent to the child," Magneto added.
"Fine," Kitty replied.
Pietro just raised his eyebrows to let them know he was listening.
"Then we'll find you two a house, and you'll move in a soon as possible," said the Professor.
"I'm sorry Mom, I'm sorry Dad," Kitty hugged her parents.
"It's ok Sweetie, we're sorry for over-reacting," Mrs. Pryde held Kitty close.
"You had the right to over-react, we're ok right?"
"Of course, but you do realize that your life isn't yours anymore right?" Mr. Pryde asked.
Kitty nodded, "Everything changes from here on out."
Author's Notes: So how was it? I tried to make the parents as angry as I knew possible, because my parents don't really get mad, so I don't know how they're supposed to be. And the part where Pietro and Kitty talk how was that? And the part where they have to live in together, I got that idea from Friends, since Ross and Rachel lived together for a while when Emma was born, so I figured they'd be 'betrothed,' in a different kind of way and fall in love later on. And about how she did get pregnant, no, they weren't together, it was a one night stand for the both of them. Read and review please.
