Sorry for the extremely late update. I'm going to go against my word for what I said in the last chapter, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. Here's chapter 7!
&&&&&&
Bobby watched Jubilee in disgust as she ate a bowl of chocolate cereal, with chocolate milk, and with chocolate syrup. Jubilee seemed oblivious to the stares, and no one else seemed to notice what she was eating.
Ray sat down beside Bobby. "Does she know what she's having yet?"
"No…But I pray to God that it's not a girl. If I have to put up with any more hormones I'll scream. I mean, once one hormone rage stops, another starts. I'm surprised the professor hasn't gone nuts yet from all the girls." Bobby muttered.
"I'm surprised the professor hasn't taught Jean about delivering a baby yet." Ray replied.
Bobby paled. "I really don't want to talk about that."
"Sorry man, but you have to admit, it was funny while it lasted. And look at it this way, you're now prepared for when the baby really comes." Ray said.
"Jean doesn't think the baby's a mutant, I really hope she's wrong…" Bobby said, ignoring Ray's last statement.
"Who knows?" Ray said with a shrug.
Just then Logan came in to the now crowded kitchen. "Everyone is to report to the Danger Room for an early morning training session except for Bobby and Jubilee. You two are to report to the professor's office."
Bobby looked over at Jubilee who didn't seem worried in the slightest. He, on the other hand, was down right terrified.
&&&&&&
"Jubilee, Bobby please take a seat." The professor said calmly.
"He hates me! The professor hates me!" Bobby hissed.
"Will you knock it off?" Jubilee said as they sat down beside each other.
The professor sighed, and began to rub his temples. "I would just like to inform you that Evan and a few members of the Morlocks have decided to pay us a visit this evening. Mostly, they are curious about the new addition to the school…And they also want to see how everyone's holding up."
Bobby and Jubilee exchanged looks. "Um, why did you call us down for that?" Jubilee asked.
The professor sighed again. "Jubilee, as much as I am excited about your baby, I also have to admit that I'm somewhat dreading it coming. This is because this house has become louder than it all ready was, and not to mention that the students appear to act insane then they all ready are." The professor said, giving a disapproving glance towards Bobby.
"Hey! It's not my fault her hormones are too much to handle! I am not insane!" Bobby said defensively.
"What wrong with my hormones?" Jubilee asked.
"Nothing dear." Bobby said quickly.
Tears welled up in Jubilee's eyes. "You hate everything about me right down to my DNA!"
"No, no, I…"
"…Is it my fault that my legs look like a giant road map with my blue veins? Is it my fault that my feet are swollen up like two loaves of bread? Is it my fault that some low life got me pregnant so that I now look as fat as a dead opossum on the side of a high way?"
"No, it's completely…"
"SHUT UP!" Jubilee snapped.
"You see? This is what I'm talking about." The professor said.
"It's all Bobby's fault. Right Bobby?"
"Right." Bobby squeaked.
"Have you ever considered seeing a counselor?" The professor asked.
"No, that's not necessary." Bobby said.
"Yes it is. That would be great!" Jubilee said happily.
"Um…" Bobby trailed off as Jubilee went out of the room gleefully.
"You had to mention it, didn't you?" Bobby asked.
"I'll make you a deal, if you can not have a fight with Jubilee tonight, you won't have to go."
"Deal." Bobby quickly agreed.

Later…
Storm invited in Evan, Callisto, Caliban, and Artie (sp?) while Bobby stayed in the kitchen, as far away from Jubilee as possible.
As dinner rolled around Jubilee walked in to find Bobby sitting at the counter.
"Caliban told me you were in here. Is something wrong?"
Bobby smiled nervously. "No, no, everything's fine. I wouldn't want to upset you now so I'll just go into the dining room." Bobby said sidestepping Jubilee.
In the dining room…
"Wow, Bobby. I never would've thought you would be a teenage father. How do you feel about it?" Evan asked.
"Great. Fine. Perfect. Nothing better than finding out you're going to be a father." Bobby said, plastering a cheesy grin on his face.
Callisto looked at him in confusion. "I see…Well Jubilee how are things going with you? Are you excited?"
"I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun with someone to look after. Of course I do get the occasional cravings and hormones, but other than that I'm doing okay."
"You mean daily." Bobby muttered bitterly.
"What?" Jubilee asked.
Ray gave Bobby the sign to shut up.
"I said, you mean daily hormones." Bobby said.
Ray smacked his forehead.
The whole table fell silent. Kitty shifted uncomfortably as Jubilee glared at him.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Jubilee asked.
"Every day I'm either yelled at, used as a tissue, or a playground. I'm tired of it." Bobby said monotonously.
"BOBBY! SHUT UP RIGHT NOW BEFORE YOU GET YOURSELF KILLED!" Jean screamed telepathically.
"He's doomed." The professor said telepathically.
"So you think I'm nothing but a huge bag of hormones?"
"Exactly. See? I'm so glad we came to an understanding." Bobby said in relief.
"Oh we came to an understanding all right…YOU MUST DIE!" Jubilee shrieked, firing a firework across the table that Bobby narrowly missed.
"Oh my! Look at the moon! It must be time to go now!' Caliban said, standing up.
Storm yanked him down violently. "Don't you dare." She said, glaring at the rest of them.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT I MUST DIE? I'M ONLY TELLING YOU THE TRUTH!" Bobby screamed as Jubilee fired another firework at him. This time he threw up an ice shield.
"You're not supposed to tell girls how they really are! That's just suicide!" Ray hissed.
"Yeah, even I knew that!" Logan muttered.
"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT I'M NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF HORMONES! I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE ANGRY WITH YOU! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT THAT I'M GETTING FAT!" Jubilee screamed hysterically.
"CAN'T YOU LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR HORMONES?" Bobby pleaded.
"I don't mean to intrude, but don't you think that you're overreacting just a bit Jubilee?" Callisto asked, interrupting the fight. She hoped the question would a put a stop to it.
Ray slammed his fist on the table. "CALLISTO! YOU'RE AN IDIOT! STAY OUT OF IT!"
By this time it was too late.
"I'm overreacting? I have every right to overreact. You'd be the same way I was if you had to live here. Evan, you know what I'm talking about right?" Jubilee asked icily.
"I'm not a part of this argument by any means." Evan said deciding to hide behind Scott, the fearless leader. Scott himself seemed to have a look of terror on his face.
"Callisto, you don't know what it's like living here. I mean I obviously sleep on the same floor as all of the new recruits, and that would be fine, if they stayed there. But every night they have to come into my room with some stupid circus to perform for me with their stupid questions. I don't have a problem with the girls, it's the guys I'm talking about. Take Ray for instance, he has to be the biggest freak of the whole circus. He's the ringmaster controlling all the other boys to do his bidding. Poor little Jamie has to grow up with that influence. And then, there's the rest of them. Scott has to be the biggest control freak on the planet, while Jean thinks that she's better than everyone else. They're the perfect couple right? Then you have Logan who has to be the burliest man that God has ever put on the face of the planet, and my God! Have you ever pissed Storm off? A hurricane goes through the mansion for three days! And everyday I have to put up with the same stupid circus routine. Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year I have to put up with it. So until you spend a day in this house you have NO RIGHT TO JUDGE ME!"

"Robert Drake and Jubilation Lee is it? I understand that you're having some problems with your relationship and at home, would you care to say a few words on the matter?" The counselor asked the next morning.
Bobby raised his hand.
"Yes, Robert?"
"I have four words to describe the whole situation actually…Holy goddamn fucking shit."
&&&&&&
Sorry about the language, but I got that line from a musical, and I thought it was so funny, I decided to make it a line that Bobby says. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. How will Bobby and Jubilee survive they're time with a counselor? Find out in chapter 8!
