Chapter 7
Um…what?
It had been one month since Rogue's birthday. It was a Monday morning, and Kitty woke up in a very good mood. She took a shower, dressed, and headed downstairs for breakfast. She looked around at all the half-asleep students and rolled her eyes. She poured herself some orange juice and took a seat beside Jubilee, who's head was on Bobby's shoulder, and Rahne, who had transformed into her wolf self and was curled up on the floor where her chair should have been.
Kitty was sitting across from Rogue, who had a far-off look in her eyes and was obviously not with them. And Kurt was beside her, eating everything in sight as usual. She smiled to herself. At least someone manages to be somewhat awake in the morning.
That's about the time Scott and Jean came in. They sat down on the other side of Rogue. They seemed to be having an argument telepathically, because Scott looked pissed and Jean had the look on her face she normally did when she was trying to calm her boyfriend down.
Kitty just shrugged it off, not wanting to get involved. Whatever Scott was mad about, he'd get over it eventually.
"I am not going to let him get away with this Jean!" Scott yelled out loud.
Or not.
Kitty really didn't think that this fight was going to have a good outcome. She started to get up and leave, but was stopped by Scott.
"Sit down." He said harshly.
Kitty, having never been spoken to that way by Scott before, did as she was told. What in the world could I possibly have done now? She wondered.
You haven't done anything, Kitty. Jean reassured telepathically. It's just,
"Kitty, Alvers called this morning," Scott said.
We know you're pregnant. Jean finished.
Kitty spit outher drink. "What!"
Earlier that morning
"Hello." Scott said, answering the phone.
"Hey shades, is Kitty around?" Lance asked.
"No she's not." Scott answered back through gritted teeth.
"Where is she?"
"If you must know, she's in the shower."
"Well, could you tell her I called?"
"Probably not."
"And why would that be?" Lance asked, trying his hardest to ignore the fact that he was talking to Summers.
"Because she shouldn't be hanging out with a no good hood like you!" Scott yelled into the phone.
Lance at this point had pretty much lost all courtesy, if you can call it that, toward the X-geek leader and decided to piss him off, hoping Kitty wouldn't be too upset with him.
"I'm sorry you feel that way, but I just thought that Kitty should know that I'll be with her one hundred percent of the way."
"What are you talking about?" Scott asked as Jean walked into the room and asked him who was on the phone. Alvers, he mouthed. She just shook her head and sat down on the couch.
"Well, I found her pregnancy test in my bathroom. I just want her to know that I will be there to support her. Would you tell her that for me shades?" Scott was now completely pale and kept opening and shutting his mouth, but no sound came out. "Thanks. Bye." And Lance hung up, laughing.
Scott put the phone down, and it took him three tries to get it right. Jean, who was now very worried and somewhat curious, stood up and helped him over to the couch.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Alvers…Kitty…pregnant…going to kill…" Scott managed, confusing Jean. He pointed to his head and she nodded, using her telepathy to see what was making Scott act like this. Once she found it, she also went pale.
"I think we need to talk to Kitty." Jean said.
"I think I need to kill Alvers." Scott said.
Back at breakfast
"How could you do something so stupid Kitty?" Scott shouted at her.
"Scott, Kitty, maybe we should talk about this somewhere more private." Jean suggested as the others all looked at the three of them, wondering what was going on.
"There's like, nothing to talk about." Kitty said, voice full of malice, and she stood up and left the room.
Kitty rode to school with Rogue. What are they thinking? Kitty thought angrily. Why do they think I'm pregnant?
"Kit, is somethin' botherin' ya? And why was Scott yellin' at ya at breakfast?" Rogue asked.
Kitty didn't answer. She was still thinking about the fight earlier. Scott had said Lance called. But what would that have to do with me being pregnant? Unless…I'm like, so going to kill him. Kitty was even angrier than before.
They pulled into the school and Kitty went off to find Lance. She got her books out of her locker and decided to see if he was at his locker. Nope. She then decided to check Pietro's locker, and sure enough that's where she found him.
Lance and Pietro were laughing at something and didn't notice Kitty come up beside them. She set her book-bag down and tapped Lance on the shoulder. He turned toward her and she shoved him into the locker.
"What the hell did you tell Scott this morning when you called?" Kitty asked, beyond angry.
Lance started stuttering and Pietro pulled her away from him.
"Do you think I enjoy my team leader being angry with me and thinking things about me that aren't true?" Kitty continued, still being held back by Pietro.
"Kitty, I didn't mean anything by it. Summers was being a jerk so I decided to, er, piss him off." Lance said, keeping a safe distance from his girlfriend. She's scary when she's mad. He thought.
"What exactly did you tell him?" Kitty asked, glaring at him.
"Well, you see, I said, er, that I found your pregnancy test in my bathroom and for him to tell you I'd be there to support you." Lance said innocently.
"Lance Alvers…" Kitty began, phasing through Pietro's grasp as Lance prepared himself for a slap. "That is like, the funniest thing ever." She said, and then started laughing.
Lance and Pietro looked at Kitty,then at each other, and then started laughing as well.
"Man, you should have seen your face." Pietro said, between laughter. "I thought you were going to wet yourself."
"Shut up." Lance said, as Kitty started laughing harder.
"Lance, like, promise me you won't let this get out of hand. I don't really mind if just Scott and Jean think that, because Scott deserves it, but what if Mr. Logan hears about it?" Kitty said after controlling her laughter.
Lance went pale. "I didn't really think about that."
The bell rang and Pietro went off one way and they went the other.
I hate school so I'm not writing it…Lunch
"You don't think he was serious do you?" Jean asked Scott.
"I don't know, Kitty has been acting kind of moody lately. Plus, she hasn't really been eating a lot and she's been holding back in the Danger Room." Scott said, glaring at Kitty who was sitting with the Brotherhood members.
"Don't you think she'd tell us though?" Jean asked.
"I'm not sure. I think being around Alvers has changed her." Scott said.
"What are y'all talkin' 'bout?" Rogue asked as she sat down beside Jean.
"Well," Jean started.
"Rogue, is Kitty pregnant?" Scott asked bluntly.
"What? How the hell would Ah know?" Rogue said.
"Well, you two are pretty close and we figured she'd tell you something like that." Jean said.
"Alvers said she was, and Kitty didn't deny it at breakfast. I think that says it all right there." Scott said.
Rogue was shocked. Kitty…pregnant? Oh my God.
"Ah…Ah don' believe it." Rogue said.
"Don't believe vhat?" Kurt asked, joining them.
"Kitty's pregnant." Scott said.
Kurt's smile immediately left his face. Zhey're joking right? I'm her best friend; she'd tell me zhat vouldn't she? Of course she vould…I zhink. Zhen again, maybe she doesn't vant us to know.
Kurt was having an internal battle. He didn't know what to believe. Hadn't she told him about her illness?What would make this any different? Kurt was confused and hurt, not knowing what to think.
But Kitty was Kurt's best friend, and he intended to find out what was going on; and maybe kill Avalanche in the process.
A/N: Kitty is NOT pregnant (just in case I confused anyone; because I confuse myself all the time.)
