BABY ON BOARD
We got up a few hours before dawn, hopin' that we would catch them bah surprise. But Kurt surprised meh, he wanted meh ta absorb his powers. He told meh that it could help meh ta get outta there quicker. Ah was reluctant but he said it would beh dangerous for the child if Ah just tried ta make a getaway, that this would beh easier. He explained how Ah just need ta picture where Ah want ta go and poof Ah'm there and not ta go ta places Ah don't know 'cause Ah may rematerialize through a wall. He didn't want meh ta go alone, but he knew that this would beh safer. He also explained that Ah shouldn't teleport so much with the baby, that it tends ta make any passengers very nauseous and such. Ah couldn't believe how good of a person somebody could beh before Ah met him and with him in mah head, it only confirmed it. He felt the sameway Ah did, 'bout meh bein' his sister. It's hard ta believe that one could bond with somebody so fast. Ah teleported straight ta the facility where Ah had met Kurt.
It was pretty easy gettin' in with all the information they gave meh. The hard part was findin' mah baby girl. After gettin' inside Ah found a pretty brunette in her office workin' late. Ah used that ta mah advantage. Ah took mah gloves off and walked right in then shut the door behind meh.
"Can I help you miss?"
"Whay Ah do believe ya'll can." Ah reached out ta shake her hand and she took it.
"My name is-" She was out. Ah emptied her suitcase that was next ta her desk and undressed mahself. Ah put mah uniform in the suitcase and locked it. Then Ah took her clothes and dressed mahself. Then Ah found a mirror she had in her purse and attempted a tight bun, like the one she had, hidin' mah platinum streaks. Perfect. Ah hid her in a closet and locked it tight. A picked up the suitcase and her purse and walked out. Lookin' for the control room. Her memories told meh that Ah could learn anythin' from there. Boy was she right, all the information Ah could need at mah finger tips. Walkin' 'round passin' as her, Ah had no problems whatsoever.
Ah found her room, 119. Ah couldn't believe it, Ah almost cried when Ah saw her. She was already a few weeks old. Ah grabbed a few extra blankets and put her in mah arms. She was beautiful. Her hair was already thicker and she had mah eyes and a cute lil button nose. Ah checked ta make sure the door was locked, grabbed the purse and suitcase once again and thought of the woods where Scott's car was parked, near the settlement. Ah put her in the car knowin' that Ah'm gonna have ta get a car seat, but layed her the most comfortable way Ah could, took the keys Ah outta mah pocket and left. Oh well if Scott misses his baby, he doesn't need it anymore. Then Ah just laughed as Ah took off north.
Ah drove faster than Scott ever did, but not nearly as reckless. Ah knew Ah had ta get outta there fast but Ah also know that Ah had nothin' ta feed her. Ah had ta find a place soon too. Gotta hide out and plan mah next step. Ah haven't even had the time ta name her. Just as Ah found a lil dinner, mah lil baby girl woke up cryin'. Maybe they got somethin' Ah can give her, there's no way Ah could breast feed her, 'specially now, truthfully Ah don't even know how. So Ah bundle her up, let mah hair down, take off the name badge and head inside. All the women came runnin' ta see mah lil bundle a'joy. Ah didn't even have ta ask, one of the girls came runnin' out with a bottle. But then, Ah had ta see it comin', they all asked meh her name. Ah just not ta freak out and Ah just blurted out, "Anna. Anna Marie."
"Oh, that's beautiful. You are so lucky."
"Yeah, she has the cutest lil nose, and oh look how she just loves that bottle."
"Where are you two headed?"
"Ah'm just passin' through. Need ta go meet up with her daddy."
"Do you need anything?"
"Truthfully, everythin'. She came early."
"Not a problem. We had a few girls come through here that needed to unload some stuff. We have all sorts of stuff and your welcome to any of it."
"Really? Wow, thank you."
"Sure, it's not a problem."
They helped meh out a whole lot. Even had a car seat. They packed up the trunk with all sorts of milk for the baby and bottles of water, baby bottles, pacifiers, and some clothes ta use for diapers. In the back seat they threw in some extra blankets and a couple a'couple of shirts. They were too big for the lil one, but it was somethin'. Then one of them gave me a bag with some extra food in it and a cup of coffee. Ah checked the bag and there was a gun in there too.
"Can't be to safe in these parts. We have heard stories about some mutants that way. If you don't make it to your man fast enough, you will need all the protection you can get." Ah tried not ta flinch with the way she was talkin' 'bout mutants. They were so helpful, don't wanna blow it.
"Thank ya'll so much. Hope Ah can do the same fer ya'll some day."
"You don't worry about that none, just take care of that little one. That will be good enough."
"Can do." With that Ah took off.
