Disclaimer: The disclaimer saying I don't own the X-Men was stolen by Pietro
Todd stood outside Pietro's room with Wanda. They had decided it would be pointless to hide Wanda's condition and since Pietro was her brother he should be the next to know. Neither was sure how Pietro would respond to this news. Wanda was afraid he'd make some kind of scene and then tell their father who would definally make things worse. Todd wasn't too worried about Pietro making a scene, but was a little more worried about whether or not Pietro would blame him for this entire mess and try to break him and Wanda up. Pietro did sometimes have an over protective streak when it came to his twin sister.
"Are you going to knock or do I have to?" Wanda asked softly sliding her hand into Todd's. Todd gulped and looked at the door again.
"I'll do it," he said building up his courage and bringing his free hand to the door. He tapped softly and hoped that maybe Pietro wouldn't hear him and they could go back to hiding out somewhere planning their future.
"Come on in, it's unlocked," Pietro said from inside his room. Wanda looked up at Todd, and he squeezed her hand in reassurance. Slowly Todd pushed the door open and the couple walked in. Pietro was sitting at his desk writing something, which he quickly shoved into an already open drawer.
"Toad, whatcha want?" he asked not seeming to notice Wanda.
"Wanda and I want to talk to you about something."
"Um... It wasn't me, I swear it wasn't! I was on an um... date, yeah that's right I was on a date!" Pietro exclaimed quickly looking very guilty of whatever he was claiming he hadn't done.
"Someone's got a guilty conscience, but whatever you did or claim you didn't do, that's not why we're here," Wanda said impatiently rolling her eyes at her brother.
"We're here because..." Todd started as Pietro spun around to look at the couple. His blue eyes widened.
"Todd, if you're in here for the reason I think, you're a very dead little amphibian!" he shouted as Todd quickly hopped out of the room with Pietro chasing him with a baseball bat.
"Well,
that went well," Wanda muttered sitting down in Pietro's chair
to wait for him to come back. A few minutes later, well it seemed
like minutes, knowing Pietro it might have only been a few seconds,
Wanda could hear her brother running back up the stairs.
"Welcome
back," she muttered dryly. "I trust you didn't hurt Todd
too badly, after all my baby is going to need a father," she
added boredly. If Pietro had been chasing Todd around like that he
probably was right about knowing already.
"He's tied up for now, how did this happen? Don't you have any sense? Do you want me to take you anywhere to have this taken care of?" Pietro asked rapid firely as Wanda just rolled her eyes.
"It was an accident, yes I have sense, and no, I'm not having an abortion if that's what you mean," she answered already getting slightly annoyed with her brother.
"But..." Pietro stuttered as if not believing his sister was really going to go through with this, after all it was going to be Todd's child.
"But what? Todd and I talked about it, and I want this baby Pietro, I don't know why exactly, but I do, and if you've got a problem with it than you can just learn to deal." Wanda stood up slowly and turned to leave. Pietro stared at her a few moments and then darted over to her.
"If this is what you want Wanda, then I'm behind you all the way," he said quickly wondering if he should go untie Todd, but that had already been taken care of by Kitty and Lance.
