Blix Howlet: To answer your question, Logan does not know. The only people that do are Vi, Carl, Hank, and the others who went to visit Ororo. Logan will find out soon enough, I won't say when.

Chapter 5:

A week later, Charles and the others left, but before hey did, Charles promised to send Ororo money every month so she could pay the bills and buy baby things. He would sed her money, because right now Ororo was unable to work. The day after they left, Ororo got a visit from one of her neighbors. She heard a knock on the door and opened it to find a woman that couldn't have been no older than thirty and two boys. "Hi my name is Jessica Pratts and these are my sons Timothy and Anthony."

"Ororo Monroe." She held out her hand and Jessica took it. "How old are your boys?"

"Timothy is ten and Anthony is nine. How far along are you?" she asked motioning to her stomach.

"Just got into my seventh month." Ororo said as she rubbed her stomach. "Why don't you come in."

For the next few hours, they talked. Jessica mentioned that the neighborhood they lived in was full of mutants, so Ororo would not have to hide her powers. Jessica nor her kids were mutants. She told Ororo that she divorced her husband when Anthony was a baby. Ororo told her about the whole situation with Logan and Jessica said, "Well don't worry, I'll be right her o help. I'm right next door."

"Thank you. Do you know that you are the first person who..." Ororo stopped and placed a hand on her stomach.

"What is it?" Jessica asked.

Ororo smiled. "She's kicking." She grabbed Jessica's hand and placed it on her swollen belly. "Feel."

"It feels good doesn't it?"

"Yes, it does. Too bad Logan is missing this" Ororo said. It was quiet, the only sound was the sound of the T.V. from the other room. Ororo and Jessica were in the kitchen. Ororo was drinking orange juice and Jessica, apple juice.

One month later, Ororo and Jessica were talking while they watched David play with one of his friends from down the street, while Timothy was at his friend house. They sat on Jessica's patio and just relaxed. "How are the firework shows around here?" I was July 3rd. One day before Independence Day.

"One word. Amazing. I've been here for seven years and every year they get bigger and better."

"Good I love big shows. Where do we go to watch it?"

"The park a few miles down the road. By the way, when is the baby born?"

"August 1."

"Just one more month." Jessica smiled.

"Yeah." Just then they heard the phone ring and Jessica stood up.

"Hold on. Let me get that." She rushed inside to pick up the phone.

A few minutes later Anthony and his friend Bob(short for Robert) came to get a drink of water. "Where's mommy?" Anthony asked.

"She inside. She went to answer the phone." Ororo said. Just then a sharp pain shot through her stomach and she grabbed it in pain.

"Are you okay?" Bob asked.

"Tony go get your mom. Hurry." Ororo said through gritted teeth. He ran inside.

"Okay so I'll see you on Thursday at ten." Jessica was scheduling a meeting with one of her clients. (A/N: She's a lawyer.)

"MOM...MOM." Tony yelled jumping up and down in front of his mother.

Jessica shushed him. "Okay bye." she hung up the phone. "What have I told you to do when I'm on the phone?"

"Mommy, Ororo's hurt."

"What?" Jessica ran outside and saw Ororo catching her breath. "Ororo what's wrong?"

"I think I just a contraction."

"Okay. I want you to relax I'm going to call the hospital to tell them that we're coming in." Jessica ran inside and called the hospital and Bob's father so could take Bob and Tony while she took Ororo to the hospital. She came out of the house. "Okay we just have to get you to the hospital and get you checked in."

"What if something's wrong with the baby. She's a month early."

"Hey don't worry. Both Timothy and Anthony were both early and nothing was wrong with them. Your baby is going to be fine."

"Okay, but first can you to get my overnight bag. It's in the closet as soon as you walk into the house." Ororo smiled.

"Okay I'll be right back." Jessica left and got Ororo's overnight clothes and Bob's father came and got the boys and then Jessica took Ororo to the hospital. By the time they got her checked in they discovered her contractions were fifteen minutes apart. While Ororo got settled in Jessica waited in the waiting room. She had Ororo's bag and purse and inside was her cell-phone. She dialed Vi's number and waited for someone to pick up. RING RING RI-

"Hello."

"Hello. Is this Vi Daniels, Ororo Monroe's sister?"

"Yes. Is everything okay?"

"This is Jessica Pratts. I am Ororo's neighbor down here in Virginia and I called to tell you that she has gone into labor."

"Does she want me to come down there?"

'To tell you the truth, she doesn't know that I am calling. I was hoping that you could come down here and it could be a surprise for her."

"That's a great idea. I'll take the next flight down there."

"Okay. Bye."

"Thank you Bye." They hung up the phone and Jessica then called the number to Charles office. RING RING

"Hello."

"Hello. Is this Charles Xavier?"

"Yes. Who is this?"

"This is Jessica Pratts, I am a neighbor of Ororo's and I called to tell you that Ororo has gone into labor."

"She's four weeks early." Charles said.

"These things happen." Jessica said. "I was wondering if you could come down here. I wanted it to be a surprise for Ororo..."

"Okay. I'll take he next flight."

"Okay. Thank you."

They hung up the phone and a few minutes later Jessica got word from the nurse that she was aloud to go in a see Ororo. She walked in and heard a beeping sound.

"Hey." Ororo greeted.

"Hey." Jessica said She walked over and sat down next to the bed. She looked at the machine that was beeping and then back at Ororo and then smiled.

"The babies heartbeat." Ororo said. Just by the sound of her voice you were able to tell that this was one of the happiest moment of her life. For the next few hours Jessica helped Ororo through her contractions and then Jessica's cell phone rang. "Hello...Okay...I'll be there in about 30 minutes...Bye" Jessica hung up her phone. "I'm so sorry Ororo. I have to go. I have to go and pick up the boys and do some other things." She had to pick up her sons and Charles and Vi at the airport.

"It's okay. You have been here for me all this time. I don't want to hold you from doing anything you have to do." Ororo said.

"Okay. I'll be back in a few hours." Jessica said.

"Just go." Ororo said. She watched as Jessica leave the room. Two hours later Ororo's contractions were ten minutes apart. She had a large window that looked out in to the city and she was looking out of it when she heard a knock on the door. "Come in."

The door opened and Jessica came in. "Hey I have a surprise for you." Jessica said.

Ororo ha a confused look on her face until two people walked through the door. "Vi? Charles?" The two walked over and Vi gave her a hug. "What are you doing here?"

"Ms. Pratts called and told us that you were in labor." Charles told her with a smiled on her face.

"She did?" Ororo looked at Jessica with a smile on her face She mouthed 'Thank you.'

"How are you feeling?" Vi asked

"Right now I'm fine. But when those contractions hits.. It's a whole different sorry." They all laughed. After another five hours Ororo's contractions were now five minutes apart. Jessica and Vi were getting some food to eat in the cafeteria and Charles stayed with Ororo. She was having another contraction while Charles wiped her forehead with a cold damp washcloth. Charles had wanted to asked her a question but didn't know how to bring it up. "Charles?" Ororo said after a few minutes.

"Yes."

"You've been distracted ever since you got here. What's wrong?"

"I wanted to talk to you."

"About what?"

"Logan."

"Forget I asked."

"Ororo listen. I think.." he was interrupted.

"Please Charles. I know that I shouldn't have left like that, but I was heart broken. What he and Danielle did really proved that Logan loves her more. He chose her over me." she said.

"Why didn't you tell him about the baby?"

"I told you..I was waiting for the right time. But then Diana and Danielle came. Diana wasn't the problem, Danielle was. Danielle finally got to him. Sh gave him what I couldn't. The one thing he wanted."

"What was it? You loved him. That's what he wanted. You gave it to him already." Charles said.

"No, she gave him a past. That's what he wanted. Now he knows his name, his pas, he knows who he is, and he has a family."

"Yes right here." Charles placed his hand on her stomach. "His family is this baby and you are taking it away form him."

"What he doesn't know won't hurt him." Ororo said.

"But this isn't something that should be kept from him. He should know that he about to become a father again. He should be here to witness her first steps, and not to mention her birth."

"Which I hope happen's soon." Ororo said as pain shot through her stomach.

Charles stayed with her and held on to her hand until the contraction ended. "What are you going to do?"

"I am going to forget." Ororo said. "Well at least try to forget. I admit it won't be easy, but this is something I have to do. I want to forget the love we had for each other, the times he protected me, and all the pain he's caused me heart. I know that there's one thing that I can't forget. It's the daughter he gave me. I love her. I don't want to love him anymore."

"When ever you feel ready, come back home."

"I don't know if that'll ever happen." Ororo said.

Another five hours later, after fifteen hours of being in labor, Ororo was ready to push. It was around 1:30 in the morning, hen Dr. Peters said ,"Okay Ororo your ready. I want you to push."

Hope you like it. Please REVIEW
