Wrong Side of Right
Chapter 5
Marie was rudely awakened by a ear-piercing squeal and someone throwing their arms around her neck
"Oh my God! Rogue!" A voice said into her ear "It's great to see you!"
"I think she's sleeping." Another voice came from further away, followed by a loud crack
"Ah can't sleep with you two can Ah?" Marie replied, cracking an eye open and pushing Kitty off her. "You'll hurt the baby if you're not careful, sugah." She warned. Kitty shrieked, making Marie wince
"You're pregnant Rogue?" the younger mutant asked, her eyes going to Marie's stomach "Oh my God! Seriously? That is so cool! You're gonna be a mom! You're, like, totally-" her shouts were cut off when the other occupant of the room, Marie's other best friend Jubilee, put her hand over Kitty's mouth, and gave her a look
"Be quiet Kit." She ordered, then smiled at Rogue "Honey, it's great to see you again!"
"Great to see you to Jubes." Marie replied "Both of ya." She sat up and hugged her two friends carefully, careful about not touching their skin "I've missed ya two." She whispered
"We've missed you too, Rogue." Kitty replied shakily, tears running down her cheeks. Marie pulled away and laughed at her friends tear-stained face.
"I'm staying this time round, sugah." She laughed, standing up from her bed. She padded over to the wardrobe, opening it to find a large number of clothes inside. Randomly grabbing some, she disappeared into the bathroom.
"We've got a lot to catch up on, honey!" Jubilee yelled as Marie brushed her teeth. "Like, I have to tell you who Kitty's boyfriend is!"
"Shut up!" Kitty shrieked, there was the sound of Jubilee's laugh, and then shrieks from both girls. Rogue shook her head, smiling. She had forgotten how much fun her friends had been before she left. Throwing on the clothes – a pair of black trousers and a dark pink shirt. It wasn't her usual style of clothing, but it suited her well, and she liked it. She exited the room to find her two best friends engaged in a heated pillow fight on her bed, yelling obscenities at each other as they did so.
"Do you mind!" Marie shouted over the top of their voices, and they quietened down, bouncing slightly on the bed before coming to a stop. "I have to sleep on those." She nodded her head at the now beaten and sorry-looking pillows "And my baby doesn't need to hear you two all day long. I know I have to, but the little one shouldn't suffer it to."
"Hey." Jubilee started as the two-toned moved to her dresser and ran a brush through her hair "You feeling all right? You going all… weird."
"It's hormones Jubes." Kitty said excitedly, bouncing off the bed "Rogue! We have to go out! Come on! The baby needs loads of things for when it's born and shopping would be a brilliant time for us to catch up!" she grabbed Rogue's arm, dragging her towards the door
"Kit!" she laughed, pulling back to stop her friend "At least give me chance to grab my shoes and a coat, please!" Kitty reluctantly released her friends arm, and she moved across the room, pulling a pair of boots from the wardrobe, she put them on, and slipped a trench-coat over her arms as she walked back to where the other two were waiting expectantly by the door.
"Okay." She sighed, holding out her arms "Let's go!" her two friends whooped, grabbing her arms and marching her from her room and down the hall
"Hi Logan!" Marie called as they passed by the bewildered Canadian "Going shopping, back later! Bye Logan!"
