Chapter 4; the Parents

Most of the students had gone to see Hellboy, but the younger ones and a few older students had stayed at the mansion.

The only one who saw Scott and Rogue was Kitty aka Shadowcat, who made a big squeal when she spotted the baby.

"Hey Rogue, like, when did this happen?" asked Kitty, giggling as she pointed towards the baby. Rogue blushed lightly while glaring at Kitty.

"It didn't, Scott and I found her in the garden and the professor wants us to take care of her." Rogue said, as Rachel slowly took her gloved finger and held it.

"Who would leave a baby, like *this* cute all alone?" Kitty asked Rogue and Scott. Scott explained what happened and the letter.

_-*-_
--*--

As Rogue gently rocked Rachel to sleep that night, Scott watched them carefully from the door.

He had never known Rogue could actually be so like a mother, of course he never knew she could take care of a child let alone a baby. But he had learned long ago that Rogue was full of surprises.

Scott walked over to Rogue as she gently lay Rachel in a small crib that they had bought an hour or so ago.

"Good night, Rachel. Sweet dreams baby girl," Rogue said as she gently kissed Rachel's head, which was protected by her thick brown hair.

"Sweet dreams Rachel," Scott said as he also gently kissed Rachel, but on her forehead. Scott turned around to Rogue, and whispered gently so to not wake Rachel up, "Wake me up, if she starts to cry, if she doesn't I'll come over in the morning."

Rogue nodded, "Okay, good night Scott." Rogue said as she walked Scott to the door.

"Good night Rogue," he said as he kissed her bangs. Rogue looked up at him surprised. Scott grinned down at her and walked towards his room, which he shared with Kurt.

^_^

The next morning, while feeding Rachel, both Scott and Rogue got a message from the professor to come to the office with Rachel.

"Let's go sweetie pie," cooed Scott as he picked Rachel up, Rachel giggled a baby giggle (lol) with her bottle in her little hands, and as for Rogue she just laughed as she got up.

"Come on Scott," Rogue said as she grabbed his hand and started to walk to the professor's office.

^_^

"Professor, have you found out anything about Rachel's parents?" asked Scott, as both Rogue and him sat down in Xavier's office.

"Yes," began Professor Xavier. "I found out that Rachel's mom, Mrs. Metis Celio-Fox is a good person and a supporter to mutants who married Mr. Allen Melpomene Fox, a non-mutant supporter and will kill any mutants he finds. Mr. Fox has already been accused of ten mutants' death, but he was not put in jail for them."

Rogue snorted in anger and Scott looked like he was going to kill someone.

"Kill ten mutants! And not even in jail!" yelled Scott, "Why the *hell* not?"

"Scott, please calm down," Rogue gently pressed her gloved hand on his shoulder. Rachel had started to cry since Scott burst out. "Its okay sweetie, it's alright." Rogue gently rocked Rachel until she was calm again. Rogue glared at him.

"I'm sorry, but I just couldn't help it," Scott apologized. "Its just he *killed* mutants like us, and has a daughter who is a mutant! What would he have done? Kill her?"

"I don't know Scott," the professor said, looking down at a sack of papers. "But I wouldn't doubt it."

Rogue looked surprised and looked at Rachel who was holding her finger. "Oh you poor baby," Rogue said, she gently hugged Rachel with out hurting her. "Thank god you're here."

"Yes, thank god she is here."

^^

"Where did you hide her?" yelled a man of many muscles and huge ugly yellow/brown teeth. He hit a person who was beneath him, quivering in fear.

"I WON'T TELL YOU!" yelled the woman, though she was scared out of her mind, she would not let that evil bustard of a husband kill her only offspring. "YOU WILL NOT KILL HER!"

"I WILL AS SOON AS I FIND HER!" screamed the man, hitting the woman with a club. "TELL ME!"

"NO!!!" screamed the woman, she was crying now, she knew she will die, but she didn't care. She will not let him harm her baby.

"THEN YOU WILL DYE!!!" the man yelled at the broken woman and hit her on her head for the last time.

'Please be safe, my beautiful daughter. Please, I love you...' And with that only one thought, she died.

Answer for the Question in the last chapter:

Metis represented wisdom, and her reputation for being wise was recognized and respected by mortals and immortals alike in literature, myth, and poetry. Metis is the daughter of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. She was the first wife of the Olympian god Zeus I do believe, and the mother of the goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts, Athena.
