"How are we going to pay for all of this?" asked Kitty.
"You and Pietro both make good money, but since you'll be out of the job, that leaves Pietro," replied Magneto.
"We'll help of course," Mrs. Pryde added.
"Kitty already has a car that's paid for you, and you have the same. So you don't have to worry about that. Grocery shouldn't be a problem, and the bills would go to Pietro anyway," Ororo stated.
"What about stuff I want? Is Pietro going to be paying for that too?"
"I'll send money every month just to help," Magneto suggested.
"We will too, but you know you have money in savings anyway. Before we forget, you both have to start saving money for the college fund, it's better to start early," Mr. Pryde smiled.
"When will I have to stop working?" Kitty asked.
"That's up to you, but you should really talk to Mr. Sheldon about all of this," The Professor added.
"Do you two even want other people to know about this? Like your co-workers?" Wanda folded her arms.
Kitty shook her head.
"No," Pietro replied.
"Then I suggest that you stop working when you start showing, or at least hide it," Wanda looked at Kitty.
"Ok," Kitty replied.
"It is settled then," The Professor stated.
Kitty left the room to go upstairs to sulk, while Pietro walked out, with Wanda following.
"It was really nice meeting you Mr. Lensherr, I'm sorry we have to meet under this circumstance though," Mrs. Pryde shook his hand.
"I agree," he then spoke softer so only they could hear, "but I really hope they'll end up together. She's good for him. He needs someone like her."
Mr. Pryde added, "We'll see what happens. You were sort of obvious of pushing them together though."
Mrs. Pryde smiled, "You mean you both were. Anyhow, they just need a little shove in the right direction every now and then."

"Mr. Sheldon is expecting you?" Mrs. West asked.
Kitty nodded, while Pietro was quiet sitting down.
"Send them in," the voice on the intercom spoke.
"Good morning, so what brings you two to my office? Are you two getting along?" Mr. Sheldon teased.
Kitty smiled, but didn't say anything.
"Mr. Sheldon, we have something we'd like to tell you," Pietro stated.
"Alright Pietro, what is it?"
"Ki...Kathy is pregnant, with my baby. We're not together. It was a mistake we made a couple weeks ago, and our parents want Ki-Kathy to stay at home with the baby," He replied.
"So is this your two weeks notice?" Mr. Sheldon asked.
"No, Mr. Sheldon, you know how much I love my job. I love what I do. But…you know…we have to face the consequences of our actions, so this is mine. I have to give it up. I'd like to stay as long as I can though," She sighed.
"We really are going to miss you Katherine. You're presence had made our office a brighter place, without you, what would we do? You're welcome to come back any time you want. You're like the daughter I never had, if I could, I'd pass this company over to you two. You two are most valuable people in this office, and I don't know how I'd replace you. So what's your plan?"
"We're moving in together for the baby once we find a house, but please don't let anyone know about this. Our situation is complicated as it is and we wouldn't want to explain it all the time. And please don't tell anyone my real reason for leaving; I don't want anyone to know. I'd like to stay a couple more months though," Kitty added.
"Alright, you'll stay as long as your strength can sustain you and until you can not hide it any longer," Mr. Sheldon suggested.
"Ok, thank you so much!" Kitty hugged him.
Pietro shook his head.
"I know you're not together, but take care of this girl. She's special," Mr. Sheldon smiled.
Pietro nodded just to acknowledge that he heard what he said.

(8th week)
"Who are you calling?" asked Josie.
"Pietro," She replied, and picked up the phone, "Hey Pietro, this is Kitty. Ororo just called, and she wants me to stop by a house. Could you take me there please? Kurt took my car, and it's not too far from the boarding house anyway?
"When are you going to admit you love me Pryde?" He teased.
"Whatever Pietro, so…"
"Yeah, I'm leaving in a few though," He replied.
"Thanks," she then hung up.
"Boarding house?" Josie gave Kitty a weird look.
"What?" Kitty returned the look.
"Mr. Maximoff makes good money, what's he doing at a place like that?" Josie looked surprised.
"Not so loud," Kitty whispered, "he's lived there for a couple of years now. His dad owns it, so he doesn't have to pay rent, that's why he's still there."
"How do you know this? No one here knows as much as you do."
"I've known him since High School, believe he hasn't changed one bit. And the only reason why I know so much is because I dated his roommate for a long time, so I always around," She replied.
"You ready to go?" Pietro smirked watching her.
Kitty nodded, "See you tomorrow," then she grabbed her stuff and followed him out.
"What did she say about the house?" Pietro asked.
"Not much, she just said meet her there," Kitty replied.
"Is this it?" Pietro looked around for Ororo.
"She said 4295 Oak Shore Drive," Kitty said looking at the piece of paper in her hands.
"We'll see," Pietro got out and opened the door for Kitty, which caught her off guard, and then rang the doorbell.
"Oh good, you're here," Ororo greeted them as the realtor let them in.
Kitty was all smiles.
"The front is beautiful isn't it? I'm Erin," She shook Kitty's hand. She was middle-aged woman in a dark blue suit.
Kitty nodded.
"We didn't want you to be spending so much on a house, but we decided that you should have something nice too," Ororo started.
"How much is this?" asked Pietro.
"Affordable, that's what I will talk to you about," Erin took him aside.
"As you can see, it's two-story. There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms. When we found this, we thought it was perfect for you two," Ororo started taking her upstairs.
"The porch is wonderful," Kitty sighed.
"I'm glad you like it. This is the master bedroom, this would most likely be Pietro's room," Ororo opened the door.
"He's going to have a walk-in closet?" Kitty's eyes widened.
Ororo laughed and nodded.
"Nice bathroom," Kitty commented looking around.
"Here's where we thought you'd want the nursery to be, in-between both of your rooms," Ororo led her to bedroom at the mouth of the stairs.
"And this would be mine?" Kitty asked opening door across from Pietro's.
"Yes," Ororo replied, "Then your bathroom, and then the Guest Room."
"This house is amazing!" Kitty exclaimed, "I want to see downstairs!"
"You already know this is the foyer," Ororo stated, "So to the left is the Living room, and to your right is the Dining room."
"Living Room first," Kitty grabbed her hand, and went to her left.
"Straight ahead is the Family Room, and the Breakfast room is to your right with the Kitchen.
"So do you like it?" Pietro asked, as he saw her walking into the Kitchen.
"Haven't seen everything yet," She grinned.
"Ok," He went back to talking with Erin.
Ororo took her past the kitchen, "There's the laundry room in there, this room is for whatever you want, there's the side door, and there's the two-car garage."
"Let's see," Kitty opened the door, "Wow."
"You're almost done. From the Kitchen, this little hallway leads to the Dining Room," Ororo showed her around some more.
"Where's the bathroom down here?" Kitty asked.
"In the Foyer," Ororo led her to the end of the Foyer and in the corner was the bathroom.
"I can't believe I'm going to have a house," Kitty sighed.
Ororo laughed, "You're growing up, Child."
"Pietro," She ran to him, and folded her hands to pretend to beg.
"What?"
"I love it! It's perfect! Please? Please? Can we have it?" Kitty pleaded.
Pietro rolled his eyes, and let out an exasperated sigh.
"Oh, you're wife is so cute!" Erin smiled.
Pietro froze.
"He's not my husband," Kitty gave her a look that said, "Are you crazy?"
"You're not married?" Erin was confused.
"You could say we're roommates," Kitty replied.
"Oh ok, I think I understand now," She laughed nervously.
"We'll take it," Pietro extended his hand.
"Nice doing business with you," Erin sealed the deal.
"Thank you!" Kitty hugged him, and gave him the big kiss on the cheek.
Ororo and Erin laughed.
[Another week later…]
(9th Week)
"Do you see anything yet?" Kitty asked looking into the mirror.
"Not really, maybe a little bit, but it's not that obvious," Rogue replied.
"Did they come back yet from the house?" Kitty was packing her stuff now, since she'd be moving out soon.
"Nope," Rogue took down Kitty's posters, "I guess these go to the trash now, don't they?"
"Yeah," Kitty sighed, "How long have they been up there?"
"Forever," Rogue teased.
"I can't believe I'm leaving. I'm leaving you," Kitty started to cry.
"Kitty, don't cry, I'll be ok," Rogue was well aware of the pregnancy mood swings.
"I don't want to leave anymore. Who am I going to fight with now? Who am I going to have pillow fights with? Who am I going to have my girl talks with?" She started sobbing.
Rogue comforted her friend, and in her mind felt bad for Pietro, since he'd have to live with this till the baby would come.
Soon, Rogue finally convinced Kitty to take a nap, since she was exhausted.
When the rest of them came home that Sunday night, Scott asked Rogue, "How is she?"
"Asleep. She went through another mood swing though. She doesn't want to leave anymore because she'll be leaving me," Rogue laughed.
'She'll be ok. All the rooms are done now to the colors she wanted, the new carpets will come next week, and we'll finish downstairs after we're done with the second floor," Jean grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator.
"I didn't know it'd be this hard to paint a house," Bobby wiped his brow.
"At least we don't have Danger Room Sessions till the house is done," Jubilee grinned.
"It's fun anyway," Amara smiled.
"Did the furniture people call?" Tabitha asked.
"Yes, they'll be bringing it all in two weeks, so you all better hurry with the house," Ororo replied.
"Won't it be weird with Kitty not around?" Kurt started playing with his fingers.
"Of course," Remy answered.
"But don't ever talk about it around her for a while, she'll be wailing again," Rogue warned.
"Who knew living with a pregnant woman was this hard?" Logan chuckled.
"Poor Pietro," Piotr smiled.
"I know, that boy doesn't know what he got himself into," Hank laughed along with everyone else.
[Next week]
(10th Week)
"All the boxes are in the X-Van right?" Bobby asked.
"Yeah," Kurt replied.
"How do you feel?" Ororo asked.
"Depressed," Kitty pouted.
"Hey, at least your morning sickness and nausea isn't as bad anymore," Jubilee added.
"But I won't see you guys at breakfast anymore," Kitty's lip quivered.
"We'll stop by," Jean pulled Kitty into a hug, "Let's go to your house now. I'll drive your car."
"Ok," Kitty sniffled.
So everyone piled into Scott's car, Jean's car, the X-Van, and two motorcycles to Pietro and Kitty's soon to be home.
