The day was finally upon the young couple and the rest of the occupants of the mansion. Kitty had called her mother and father saying that it was only a few more hours until the big moment. With a few of he belongings packed, not knowing how long the labor and delivery would be, she got everything in the car and Piotr drove away.
At the hospital Kitty explored her room and made herself as comfortable as possible. One of the nurses had come in just a few minutes after the expecting parents had arrived, you can imagine what Piotr though of him.
"You're a man?"
"Last time I checked," he responded. Kitty gave a little chuckle as he walked over to her bedside. Kitty already had on her paper hospital gown, so when the nurse started to lift up the bed sheets, Piotr became a little precautions.
"What are you doing?"
"Seeing how far long she is," he replied, like it was only obvious. "Only five centimeters." He stood back up, Piotr practically stood nose to nose with this guy. He took a step away from Piotr and said to Kitty, "If you start to feel any discomfort, you can walk around. There's a little cafeteria down the hall if you feel you can keep the food down. Shouldn't be long before you can welcome a new life into yours. I'll check back periodically to see how you're doing." The nurse walked over to the door and stepped out.
After that, Kitty immediately got out of bed to stretch out her legs. Piotr stood next to her, supporting her weight in his outstretched arm. "Where to?"
He asked.
"I'm feeling a little hungry," she pondered. "To the cafeteria." She exclaimed, throwing her right arm in the air and holding onto Piotr with her left.
By high noon, Kitty's and Piotr's family started to arrive, along with Professors Xavier, Logan, Rogue and Kurt. They all visited Kitty for a little while, one at a time of course, as she was getting ever closer to her delivery and didn't feel that much strong. Her parents dropped in baring gifts, stuffed animals and balloons, that's when her water broke.
"Oh my gosh, its time!" Mrs. Pryde screamed. The others outside the door must have heard it too since they came rushing in. Mrs. Pryde rushed out to go get someone. Piotr was at Kitty's side in a flash, doing her breathing as the doctor came in.
"Everyone needs to clear out, father, you'll need to suit up." The doctor ordered. Everyone listened and cleared out. Piotr went to wash up and change into one of those paper gowns. When he came back into the room Kitty was breathing mush harder, sweat pouring down from her forehead, and all the while screaming for drugs to be shot into her.
Patiently everyone waited into waiting room. Thoughts running through their minds. Is it a boy? Is it a girl? Will it be a mutant? The name? Godparents? Rogue looked at the wall clock, quarter after three. She looked to the hallway hoping for Piotr to come any second. Already five o'clock, everyone was asleep in their chairs, except Logan and Xavier. Finally Piotr came out slowly, with a wide smile on his face. Kurt jumped up from his seat, "So . . .?" He stared at him.
"It is a boy. Kitty's resting in her room." Piotr sighed and repeated, "It is a boy." Mr. and Mrs. Pryde woke up from their uncomfortable sleep. Piotr told them the news, then everyone became anxious, that they stirred from their sleep, and headed over to see the new baby boy.
Inside Kitty's room she was, like Piotr said, resting. Quietly everyone came in and right by Kitty's bed was her son. Piotr gently picked him up and showed everyone. Illyana pushed through everyone to see what they were all so interested in. Piotr lowered him arms and Illyana pulled back the blanket. "This is Nikolai," he said. Kitty gave a deep breath and opened her eyes to everyone surrounding her.
"Hey," she said tiredly. Piotr turned over to her and handed her Nikolai. "My sweet baby," Nikolai yawned as well. "Sweet little Nikolai Michael Rasputin Jr."
"Junior?" Her mother asked.
"After their father," Kitty pointed at Piotr, Mikhail, and Illyana.
"I like it." Illyana said, tickling Nikolai under the chin and laughing. Everyone else laughed too.
One year later the entire X-Men team, Kitty's parents, and Piotr's siblings were all seated in a grand hall. Piotr and Kitty stood in front of the hall dressed in very formal clothes, as well as everyone else. Piotr was wearing a black tuxedo, white undershirt, and a white bow tie. While Kitty was fitted into a short train white dress with a little belly stretching out.
"Do you have the rings?" asked the impressive priest. Mikhail, Piotr's best man, walked over and handed him the two rings. They each repeated after the priest for their vows, and placing the rings on each others' finger. "I now pronounce you, man and wife. You may kiss you bride." Piotr happily did so and everyone stood up clapping for the happy newlywed. Mrs. Pryde stood up with Nikolai, waving his tiny hands at his parents. Kitty's face glowed as she and Piotr broke their kiss and looked out at everyone. She put her hands on her stomach and looked up at Piotr.
"I love you Piotr Rasputin."
"And I love you, Kitty Pryde-Rasputin."
