"Baby, you have to stay away from Mommy for a while till I get better," Kitty said gently stroking Eliza's hair.

"Are you still taking me to school?" Eliza asked.

Kitty shook her head, "Your Daddy will."

"Ok, night Mommy. Love you," Eliza blew a kiss, and started to walk out, and then Pietro came into view.

"Night Kitten," He smiled.

"Night Pietro," She smiled back.

"You need anything?" He asked.

Kitty shook her head, "Make sure she's in bed before 10 at least, its way past her bedtime."

"Of course," Pietro picked her up and started tickling her.

"Daddy! Stop!" She screamed.

"Night Baby," She sighed as they walked out.

The next day, "Morning Kitten," Pietro teased, sitting on the edge of her bed.

She moaned.

Pietro put his hand to her forehead, "You're still burning up. I'll call the Professor if he could send someone to take care of you."

"You don't need to, I'm fine," She said groggily.

"If you need anything just call. I'm taking Eli to school now, see you at lunch," with that Pietro went downstairs.

"I'm ready Daddy," Eliza smiled big with her backpack on and everything standing by the door.

Pietro took her hand and led her to the car.

At the school, "You behave ok? I'll pick you up. Love you," He kissed her.

"Bye Daddy, love you too," She hugged him and ran to her class.

"Elizabeth, who's that man that dropped you off?" Ms. Hart asked.

"Oh, that's my Daddy," She beamed.

"Well, you have a very handsome father," She commented.

"I know, that's why I love him," She giggled.

Later, "Mommy! Mommy! Guess what?" Eliza ran into the house looking for Kitty

"In here Sweetheart," She called out from the living room.

Pietro laughed when he saw this. Kitty sitting on the couch in sweats, a t-shirt, hair in a messy ponytail, covered in blankets, and a tissue box beside her. "Don't laugh," She glared.

"Mommy, my teacher said I have a very handsome father," She said proudly.

Pietro smirked.

"Oh please," Kitty rolled her eyes.

"So, what would you like for lunch, Ms. I'm-Jealous-because-my-daughter's-teacher-said-her-father-is-handsome-and-never-said-anything-about-me," He walked into the kitchen.

"You're so lucky I'm sick. I don't even have the energy to yell at you," She shook her head.

"So what did you do today?" Kitty asked as Eliza was getting her stuff out of her backpack.

Eliza gasped and her eyes went big. "Daddy! Tell Mommy what my teacher said about me!"

Pietro walked in and pulled Eliza onto his lap, "She did something very good on the playground today. I think she got it from you, because I would've done the complete opposite."

"What happened?" Kitty asked.

"It wasn't my fault, Mommy," She said "He pushed me down. Eliza held up her hands to show that they were badly skinned.

"Ms. Hart told me what she did when she got up," Pietro continued.

"He made me mad."

"I'm sure he did, but your teacher said that you didn't hit him or push him back either," Pietro finished.

Eliza shook her head, "I wanted too."

"But you didn't. That's what important Annie, you controlled your anger. I think that's really great," Kitty announced proudly.

"You do?" Eliza asked.

Kitty nodded and smiled.

"You're Mommy learned control at the Institute; you know that place where Grandpa Xavier lives?" Pietro asked.

"Uh huh," Eliza nodded.

"Maybe when you're older, he can teach you control," He added.

Kitty looked at Pietro surprised.

"Over what Daddy?"

"I don't know. We'll find out…someday. Hopefully, that someday is far, far, away," He chuckled.

Kitty laughed in agreement.

"She has to know about us, all of us," Pietro whispered.

"I know, she already asks me why Uncle Kurt is fuzzy, and why Aunt Rogue always wears gloves," She replied.

"Why not now?" Pietro asked.

"We should do it when everyone is together, or would that be too traumatizing?" Kitty wondered.

"Um...we should do the smallest group first, but no Morlocks please, she might get too scared," He replied.

"Annie, why don't you put your stuff away, while Mommy and Daddy talk," Kitty gathered her things together and handed it to her.

"Ok!" Eliza then skipped her way to her room.

"Brotherhood first, Acolytes next, New Mutants, and then the X-Men," Kitty stated.

"I guess," Pietro shrugged.

"I don't know how she'll take it, to find out that almost everyone she knew ever since she was a baby is a mutant, including her parents, and when she realizes she's one too, I don't know," Kitty shook her head worriedly.

"We can only hope that she'll understand, we are her parents after all," Pietro added.

Kitty sighed, "Only time will tell."
