At Xavier's 'School'
When they got back too the school, Scott led Buffy towards a bedroom at the Professor's request. He halted at the bed and watched Buffy fall into it rythmitically. She didn't sleep though. She just laid there staring at nothing. He was concerned.
He reminded himself to call his dad about this. His dad wasn't a mutant, but he understood that it wasn't some disease or something. He didn't personally like hanging around a bunch of kids with power over him, but the uneasiness was all that was there. He accepted his kids with it.
Terry, his little brother was surfing on some beach in California. He stopped by every now and then to say hi and check in. But once he learned to control his power, he went back to the beach. They were fine with it as long as he didn't get himself killed.
Scott looked after his cousin for a while, before leaving. It had been a long time since he had seen her. And she wasn't looking very good now anyway. He had missed her. They had been close friends, but then Celia had died. The two of them had never gotten over it, and they had drifted apart. He was saddened by her death, but it was Buffy who had shut everyone out. That included her parents.
Buffy had been the only other person in the room with Celia, and ended up with scratches. They had all assumed the Celia had scratched her during the seizure. Scott had forgotten something that Buffy had told him though. She had confided in him that she had tried to save her from the thing that killed Celia, to be thrown across the room.
He left the room with a quick look at his cousin, and old childhood friend. She looked bad, like she hadn't been eating. He hadn't heard that she had returned to LA. He remembered his dad telling him that when Hank finally got his wanted divorce, Joyce had dragged her off to some small town two hours away. He shrugged and reminded himself to ask his dad about that too.

12 hours later
Professor X went with Scott to see how Buffy was doing. When they got there. They knocked on the door. When there was no answer for a few moments, they opened the door and walked in. Scott had told him about his childhood with her and Celia, but not the part that he had blocked out. Just that Buffy had had the traumatic experience of watching their other cousin die horribly.
When they opened the door, Scott was a bit shocked. She was in the exact same position she had been in when he left her there 12 hours earlier. She hadn't changed. That's when Logan decided to come in.
He was behind them, looking at the girl on the bed. She looked... bad. He felt a brotherly protective vibe. He had only gotten that vibe with Rogue, so he was curious about the girl. And then he heard it.
"Professor, her heart's slowing down." They were still until Logan rushed out. The two other men looked startled, and they motioned for him to get her to the sickbay. The Professor used his power to get Jean to the medical bay to prep the area.
Two minutes later, she was on a gurney/bed with two electrical clamps to her chest. They were giving her CCs of a heart and blood drug to speed her system up, trying to get it to work.
Ten minutes later, and an exhausting process afterwards, they had her heart beating again. And this is after she had flat-lined four different times. They hooked her up to a machine to watch her heart for them, and Jean went to do blood tests. The others left, and Storm joined her on the blood work.
Two hours later, Jean called the professor back, with the results. "Professor, this is strange. She has used as much of the drugs as possible, which is also impossible because of the work the body has to do. And her body is healthy in every way, except that it is malnourished. And the scan only pointed about three/out of thousands of X genes. I even checked the machine twice, with the same results as before. Then there is the fact that her body is healing rapidly- not as fast as Wolverine's, but fast enough. There's nothing I can find that shows why she would have flat-lined though. Her body is extraordinarily strong."
The professor took this in, and looked at Jean. He knew something else was up. "What else is it Jean?" She sighed.
"I find this almost impossible, because she hasn't really eaten, but..." She sighed again, not wanting to be put in this girl's position. "She's pregnant professor. And the small fetus looks to be about 8 or 9 weeks. If she was eating properly, she would be showing in a few weeks."
He was quiet for a time while he took it in. "Well, I think we aught to tell Scott. He should be the one to tell her." Both doubted that the poor blonde girl as aware of this fact.
Jean nodded and went back to working. She was getting curious about this girl. Storm was still busy over the microscope. Jean went to the computer and typed away.

A few hours later…
The Professor had just told Scott the news a few moments ago. He was a bit shocked, and still trying to get it through his head. His favorite cousin was pregnant, depressed, and not at her home. He wondered if she even knew about her pregnancy. He doubted her friends and family would. So he asked the professor about it.
"Professor, do you think we should contact her closer family about this?" He asked. He waited for his answer.
"No, not now anyway. She is still unconscious, and I doubt that she would want to see her family or friends in that state. Maybe you should call your father though. He is a nice man and would probably support her.
Scott nodded. "I was thinking the same thing." He replied honestly. And a few moments later, he walked off to the phone down the hall. "Hello, dad? Yeah, it's me. It's about Buffy..."

I just thought of something; Why didn't Logan hear the baby heartbeats? Uhm… well, just pretend he missed it or something. …Buffy's heartbeat is the slower one. He would have to be pretty close to her or concentrating pretty hard to hear them. Does that clear that Q up?
