Gretkken walked into the rec. room, holding Rose on her hip. She saw James sitting on one of the loveseats, while Rouge popped a movie into the VCR. It looked like Drumline. James looked up when he saw them come in, and noticed that there was no more room for her to sit down. Rouge and Logan had taken one of the couches, Ororo and Kurt had taken another, and Jubilee was sitting next to him. Gretkken seemed to notice this also, and decided to sit on James's lap with Rose on hers. Rose squealed with delight and shouted out, "daddy!" as they sat down. James Remembered when he had first met Gretkken almost two years ago...

It was about two in the afternoon on a cool fall Saturday when James was walking down the steps to go outside and play basketball. He had already been at the mansion for a year, and had just turned 14. He loved being around so many other mutants but that annoying jubilee kept hitting on him. He liked her as a friend, but that was enough. He was walking past the front door when he heard Miss Munroe talking to someone there. His curiosity got the better of him, and he peeked around the corner and got a pretty big surprise! There was a girl who looked startlingly like Mr. Wagner, only she was purple and had 5 fingers instead of three. She was also very pregnant but couldn't be any older than he was! She was saying something to Storm about how her mother told her that her brother was here at the school, and that she was hoping to meet him and maybe stay there. James saw Storm nod and before he could move, she had turned around and was staring and smiling straight at him.

"James! Would you be so kind as to show Miss Wagner to the Professor's office?" Storm asked and he mentally gasped at the girl's last name.

"Of...of course Miss Munroe, sure!" he finally stuttered.

"Thanks! I would take her myself, but I really need to grade the tests that you guys took yesterday." She said as she started to walk off, humming absently to herself. Miss Munroe sure was happier since Mr. Wagner had proposed to her a week ago.

He gestured to the girl to follow him since she didn't seem to have any belongings except her purse. As they started walking, the girl started talking in a quiet voice, in which he could hear a very faint German accent.

"My name is Gretkken Wagner by the way."

"James O'Connour"

"Do you happen to know if my brother is here? I just found out about him a few weeks ago. His name is Kurt Wagner."

James stopped walking at this point. So she was related to Mr. Wagner.

"Um... yeah. He and Storm, the lady who talked to you at the door, there're engaged."

He saw her gasp at this point.

"Wow! I just find out I have an older brother, and now I'm going to have a sister-in-law too? Cool!" she exclaimed, smiling.

"So how did you find out you had an older brother?" James inquired.

"Well, I grew up in Germany, moving back and forth between Germany and the USA with a circus that had taken me in at the age of five since my real mother was afraid for my safety because of my looks, though we kept in touch constantly. And she had just found my brother, Kurt, and told me in her last letter that he was here.

"Did she also tell you that he was in a German circus too?" James asked.

"Yes. She explained quite a bit about him." She replied.

"Not to sound rude, but may I ask how you got...well..." James started slowly.

"Pregnant?" he nodded. "No, I don't mind. Well, about 8 months ago my then boyfriend and I had been going out for about a month, but his parents weren't too happy. Oh and I have been permanently in the USA for a year now, so we met at the school I was going to at the time," she continued, "one day we were hanging out at his house, his parents were out, and he...well...he raped me." She paused at his astounded face mingled with pity. "I broke up with him that day and I found out that he hated mutants, as did his parents, and he had dated me just to make them mad. He went even farther though because he was mad they wouldn't buy him a car. I left the family I was staying with and wandered around, eventually finding out that I was pregnant. Finally, at seven months, I got a letter from my mother about my brother, and decided I would come here."

"That is some story, and I think you are very brave for going out on your own like that." James said as they reached the professor's office door. "Well, I'll be seeing you around." He said as she knocked on the door, and he slowly walked away.

Well, he certainly did see her around he thought as she leaned against him on the couch; Rose laughing as the drummers on the TV played a catchy beat. He and Gretkken fell in love almost immediately, and he promised to take care of her and her baby for the rest of their lives. They even decided a couple months ago that they would get engaged soon and then get married on Gretkken's 20th birthday since he was older by a few months. He would then legally adopt Rosie, who had taken to calling him daddy, (which he didn't mind,) and they would be a happy family.
