The One

Author's Notes: Thanks again for the reviews. I fixed the mistake in the last chapter, good job for being observant! When will they get together? Not yet, that's for sure. But they will, don't worry. They're not stable, if you noticed. They fight, they hate each other, and then they're ok and civil at other times.
(20th Week)
"Kitty, I'm afraid you're starting to show," Mr. Sheldon looked so dismayed.
"I was ok two weeks," Kitty bit her lip.
"Do you want people to know? Because so far you've hidden it, and no one has a clue to what is going on, you can still go to work you know," He stated.
Kitty shook her head sadly, "I can't. I don't want them to know, at least not now."
"I understand," He added.
"I'll get my stuff then and have someone take me home. Thank you Mr. Sheldon," She hugged him, wiped a few stray tears, and left.
[At the Institute]
"Are you sure that you are ok?" Ororo asked.
She shook her head, "Ororo, I just left my dream job because I'm pregnant," She cried.
Ororo held the crying girl, "It's hard, that is why you must never forget that there are lifetime consequences for what you do."
Kitty just sobbed.
"Child, it is ok to cry," She added soothingly.
[Later that day]
"Kitty, Pietro's here," Jean walked in during a cooking lesson.
"Ok, thanks Ororo, I'll see you tomorrow," Kitty quickly wiped her hands, hugged Ororo, and met Pietro in the foyer.
"You ok?" He asked gently.
She shrugged.
"Let's go home," He grabbed her box of stuff and headed for the car.
[At the Doctor]
"I'm getting itchy," Kitty stated.
"Don't worry, it's normal, your skin is stretching," Dr. Rhodes replied, "You know you don't need to even come here for this."
"What do you mean?" Kitty asked.
"Watch, Pietro come here, place your ear here," Dr. Rhodes instructed.
Sure enough, Pietro heard a heartbeat.
"Wow," Kitty said in awe.
"You're doing well. Blood pressure is normal, just keep exercising," She added.
"I will, thank you," Kitty smiled.
(22nd Week)
"End of second trimester," Mrs. Pryde beamed over the phone.
"Mom, it's so hard. I can't sleep at night, she moves around so much, and she sleeps during the day," Kitty complained.
"I know, Sweetheart, now you know how I felt, every mother goes through that. That's just the start of your sleepless nights," She chuckled.
"Oh, Mom, you went through so much because of me and I don't even treat you right, I'm sorry," Kitty apologized.
"It's ok. Just take care of yourself ok?"
"Of course, thanks Mom, I love you."
"I love you too Honey," Mrs. Pryde hung up soon after.
(23rd Week)
While Pietro is at work, Kitty goes over to the Institute for a good swim, and then Ororo helps her with cooking.
"Let's take it a notch higher," Ororo started.
"Pietro doesn't mind the sandwiches for lunch," She added.
"I know that, but you have to pack him five just for him to be full. Those are simple, nothing to do with heat, except maybe a toaster," Ororo laughed.
Kitty's hand flew immediately to her tummy.
"What's wrong?" Ororo asked.
"It's these Braxton Hicks contractions, they happen after a good workout, which I did earlier. Dr. Rhodes said it's good for me, it's supposed to prepare my body for labor," Kitty sat down and put her head down.
"We'll finish this tomorrow, take a nap," Ororo led the girl to the quiet living room.
[24th Week]
Kitty went into Pietro's room, and found him still in bed.
"Pietro, wake up. You're late for work," She nudged.
He just turned around, and started coughing.
Kitty put her hand on his forehead, "You're burning up. I'll call Mr. Sheldon."
"Hi, may I please speak to Mr. Sheldon?" Kitty was downstairs on the couch with the cordless.
"Mr. Sheldon, there's a Kathy on the phone for you," His secretary spoke on the intercom.
"Kathy Pryde?" Rex who was inside in a meeting.
Mr. Sheldon nodded, and picked up the phone. "Hey Katherine, how are things?"
"It's good, I'm just calling to let you know that Pietro is sick and come to work today," She replied.
"Ok, thanks for letting us know, I was wondering where he was. Thank you. It was nice to hear from you," He added.
"I know, I'm sorry if bothered so I'll let you get back to work," She stated.
"Good bye," He hung up soon after.
"Who's he?" Rex asked.
"Pietro is sick," Mr. Sheldon answered.
"Oh, I wonder who called," Rex was curious.
"Pietro, go take a bath, while I wash your sheets," She started to gently shove him off the bed.
He just groaned.
"Fine, I'll fix it for you," She exhaled loudly, "brat." So she went into his bathroom, and got the water nice and warm.
"Go now," She started to shove more.
He trudged slowly to the bath.
Kitty had some difficulty taking the sheets off than before, she really was getting bigger. She changed his sheets, and left to go sit for a while.
She sighed as her belly ached to be scratched she then put some olive oil over it.
She watched TV for a while, and decided to check up on the sick Pietro. She found him in bed freshly bathed, and fast asleep. She walked downstairs to get a glass of water, and some pills, for him to take when he wakes up. And Kitty went to work on lunch, since she was getting better at her cooking skills.
"Kitty," Pietro called out from upstairs.
"What?" She walked upstairs.
"I need more water," He handed her his cup.
"I'm bringing some soup up," She stated as she left the room.
'Who knew being a pregnant nurse could be tiring?' Kitty thought to herself as she went up and down the stairs for Pietro.
