Lance knew Kitty didn't want to tell anyone, at least not yet. He still couldn't believe it himself. He was going to be a father. The idea terrified him as much as it exicted him. He had driven Kitty back to the Institute, not wanting her to be walking home alone.
"You didn't have to drive me back," she said.
"I know, but I wanted to, tomorrow I'm going to go out and look for a job. Maybe we'll be able to get our own place, would you like that Kitty?" She paused for a second then nodded. Everything seemed to be happening so fast.
"Lance, I haven't been to like a real like doctor yet. I was too scared." Lance wrapped his arms around Kitty.
"Of course I'll take you. Call me once you've set up the appointment, okay?"
"Kay," Kitty replied soflty walking slowly towards the Institute. She turned around and walked back to Lance. "Thanks," she said with a small smile. Lance leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
"I'll be here for you Kitty, no matter what. You should head on inside before someone sees us and thinks I'm trying to kidnap you or something," Lance joked smiling back at Kitty who laughed and darted off towards the Institute. Lance was still smiling as he climbed back into his jeep and headed towards home. He had meant what he'd told Kitty. He planned to be there for her, no matter what. Without even thinking about it he slid his hand into his pocket. He'd been carrying around the same box for almost three months. He knew Kitty wasn't old enough to marry him yet, and he had yet to even come close to asking, but he did want to ask her. He was ready to admit that, he wanted to marry Kitty, not just because of this, but because he loved her with all his heart. I'll ask her tomorrow, but what if she doesn't say 'yes'? he thought parking in the garage of the Brotherhood house, not even noticing Tabitha and Pietro were sitting on the front porch talking.
