Disclaimer- I don't own anything, all familiar characters belong to Marvel.

Shout Outs-

TheLegendaryManHimself- The X-Men and the B-Hood? You can bet that that would be ONE messed up family!

Needles- I think that you'll find that Polaris is related to Magneto, check out 'TheDraco' storyline form Uncanny for confirmation.

Ruby631- I guess it would be weird to witness your own birth.

Slickboy444- I'd love to see you write a Wandurt fic, it is one of my fave pairings.

Agent-G- If you'll remember correctly, it was Wanda's 19th birthday a few chapters back, so she isn't a minor.

Xavier's-

Kurt and Wanda were sat in front of Xavier's desk while Logan, Ororo and Hank stood by. TJ and Rogue were also there.

'I believe that there was something you wanted to ask me.' Xavier said to Wanda.

'I was wondering whether I could move in.' Wanda replied. 'It's getting kinda crowded at the Brotherhood place and I was looking for somewhere with more room.'

Logan narrowed his eyes suspiciously, she was hiding something.

'You Brotherhood types just don't up and leave. Why d'ya really wanna move in?'

'Logan, there is no need to act so suspicious.' Xavier said calmly. 'Is there anything else that you wish to tell us?'

Wanda bit her lip nervously and looked to Kurt for confirmation. Kurt smiled in reply and gently squeezed her hand. Wanda took a deep breath and decided to dive right in.

'I'm pregnant!'

Wanda winced as she anticipated the inevitable freak out. But it didn't come, all four adults just sat, or stood, there dumbstruck.

'Kinda sudden, I know.' Wanda said. 'But I can't raise a kid in a piece of crap place like the boarding house.'

'Oh my stars and garters...' Hank mumbled.

'Elf, a word.' Logan growled.

'I know what you're going to say, Mister Logan.' Wanda said. 'And when Kurt asks me to marry him, I want it to be because he loves me, not because he knocked me up.'

'Rogue, Talia, did you both know?' Xavier asked.

'Yup.' TJ replied.

'Yeah.' Rogue added. 'We were the first ones to know, bein' family an' all.'

'Well I dare say that congratulations are in order.' Ororo said. 'Even if it is rather early to have a child.'

'No offence, Miss Monroe.' Wanda replied. 'But I am eighteen, I'm not a minor.'

'I don't see why you cannot have a place here, Wanda.' Xavier said. 'We have plenty of room.'

'Thankyou Professor.' Wanda replied with a small smile. 'You won't regret this.'

As Wanda and Kurt got up to leave, Logan piped up again.

'Just make sure there ain't no shenanigans!'

'A little late for that, wouldn't you say?' Hank smirked.

San Francisco-

Xavier and the other adult X-Men weren't the only ones about to receive unexpected news. Mystique was about to receive some too.

She was presently enjoying the So-Cal sunshine in the balcony of her swanky apartment that she shared with Irene Adler, aka the precog mutant Destiny.

Mystique was about to reach for her glass of wine when she heard Irene gasp in shock.

'Irene, what is it?' She asked concernedly.

'It's Kurt and Wanda, I have foreseen something most... unusual?'

'Don't tell me she's moved in with the X-Men.' Mystique snorted. 'Although, it wouldn't be too unexpected, she'd do anything to get away from that fool Pietro!'

'That is one of the things.' Irene replied. 'I sensed something else... A baby! Raven, you're going to be a grandmother!'

Mystique spat out her wine in surprise.

'WHAT?' She choked. 'Don't tell me that my son has knocked up Magneto's only child!'

Irene just gave her a knowing look. Well, the best knowing look that a blind person could give.

Mystique groaned and held her head in her hands.

'He is going to be so pissed!'

'What makes you think that Magneto even cares about the child?' Irene asked.

'He won't care about the fact that his only daughter's been knocked up, he'll only care about the fact that her offspring will be a worthy addition to the Acolytes or not.'

'You're not thinking of going to Bayville. Are you?' Irene asked. 'It's a little late to develop a conscience, don't you think?'

Mystique got up off her lounger and strode back into the apartment.

'This may be the last chance I ever get to make amends with Kurt and Rogue.' She replied. 'I won't let Magneto use Wanda's unborn child in his little power play with Xavier, grandchild or not.'

Irene just smiled to herself as Mystique started to prepare for her journey to Bayville.

'I always knew she had a heart.'

Bayville, two days later-

Several members of both the X-Men and the Brotherhood were helping Wanda move in to her new room at Xavier's. Todd and Crystal were lugging a heavy trunk into the room while the mother-to-be stood by.

'Geez Wanda, what kinda stuff have you got in here?' Todd groaned. 'It feels like you got the kitchen sink in here.'

'Yes Todd, I actually pack the kitchen sink when I move in to new places.

'Toddie being a moany-pants?' Felicia asked as she carried in two more heavy cases with ease.

'Is he anything else?' Wanda smirked.

'To think I actually had a crush on you.' Todd muttered as he put down his side of the trunk.

'Well I gotta say, we'll all be sad to see you go.' Crystal said as she lowered her end too. 'The boarding house won't be the same without you.'

'It's not like I'm moving to Australia.' Wanda replied. 'I'm only down the road.'

Crystal moved out the way as a rather large bed was carried through the door.

'You sure you don't need a hand with that, Peter?' Wand asked.

'No, you sit yourself down.' Peter replied as he backed in to the room with Kurt carrying the other end of the bed. 'We can't have you carrying a bed in your condition.'

'Geez, people would think that I've got a disease or something.' Wanda smirked.

'Is zhis everyzhing?' Kurt frowned as he helped Pete put the bed down with a groan. 'I don't zink my back could handle any more.'

'Yeah, that's everything Fuzzy.' Wanda replied as she rubbed the elf's shoulders and kissed him on the cheek. 'Good work.'

'Don't I get a kiss?' Todd asked hopefully.

'Being pregnant doesn't mean that I can't hex you.' Wanda replied with a mock frown.

'I think I'd better go, yo.' Todd said as he backed away fearfully. 'I think I can hear Felicia calling me...'

'But I'm right here, Toddie.' Felicia replied. Too late, Todd had already run away.

'Well watching all this heavy work has tired me out.' Wanda said. 'I'm gonna get me a drink.'

'Ja, a drink vould be nice.' Kurt added. 'I'm parched.'

Peter, Crystal and Felicia all echoed his sentiments and started to walk down the stairs.

'Calling all X-Men, we have an intruder on the premises. Report downstairs immediately!'

Everybody hurried downstairs to see what the trouble was.

Outside-

Mystique halted on her path up to the front door as numerous laser cannons popped out of the ground. She put down her luggage and waited for the incoming welcome party.

And what a welcoming party, Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Shadowcat, Rogue, Nightctrawler, Toad, Crystal, Black Cat and some blue girl that looked suspiciously like a certain fuzzy elf.

'Stay way you are Mystique!' Cyclops demanded. 'Don't you move one step closer!'

'I'm not going anywhere Cyclops.' Mystique replied. 'As you can see form my luggage.'

'It's not like we're going to let you just waltz in.' Logan added. 'Not after all the stuff you've done.'

'I'm here about the baby.' Mystique replied.

'How did I know she was going to say that?' Wanda sighed.

'Well I am the grandmother.' Mystique said. 'I want to help.'

'Oh yeah, like ya don't wanna use the kid for yah own use!' Rogue snorted.

'I'm not the only one that might be interested in the baby, have you thought about the possibility of Magneto?'

'What do you know about my father?' Wanda hissed.

'Destiny had a vision and she thinks that the baby will be in trouble. I'm here to make sure that it doesn't happen.'

'And what makes you think that we can trust you?' TJ asked sceptically. 'It's not like you've been so trustworthy in the past.'

'And who might you be?' Mystique asked a she eyes up the stranger.

'My name is Talia Josephine Wagner, I'm Kurt and Wanda's daughter.'

Mystique just blinked in confusion.

'Right... So, are you going to let me in or what?'

'She don't smell like she's lyin'.' Logan said.

'And I can't sense the fact that she's hiding anything.' Jean added.

'Ah still don't like it.' Rogue muttered. 'But it's not lahke ah got any choice in the matter.'

Reluctantly, the X-Men lead Mystique inside. Xavier could always scan her for any ulterior motives.

TBC...

Mystique gets to know her granddaughter.
