The red head gave them a unsure look then looked at her friend, Ororo. The two older woman knew better, from past experiences with the men watching the kids that they couldn't handle it.
"Maybe we should get Kitty or Ann to watch them" Ororo suggested.
Matt looked at Alex then the two smiled and used a bit of their powers combined to push the two out the back door. "Bye" Alex and Jack said telepathically to them.
Jean looked at Ororo "did they just?" "Oh yeah" they figuring that if they thought they could watch the kids them they could.
The small room the two stood in was the playroom, a room made for the little kids of the school. All of the 14 kids were sleeping. Quietly.
"Easy" Alex said, thinking they could handle it.
"How hard could it be" Matt replied, putting his hands into his jacket pockets.
A small hand reached out to slowly grab a stuffed teddy bear then pulled it under the blanket, causing a loud cry.
They looked at the small boy that was crying, "what happened?" Jack asked before reading his mind.
"Wheres the teddy bear" Alex said, beginning to search for the small stuffed animal.
"Like I would know" he said searching with him.
Matt covered his ears, his enhanced hearing made the crying a lot louder then it actually was so he walked over to the small boy and tried to quiet him.
"Shhhhhhhh" he said softly to him as he squatted on the ground in front of him, the boy paused for a moment before crying again.
Matt covered his ears again not noticing the person who pulled his cheeks. The small boy stopped to giggle, seeing his cheeks being pulled and pushed together by a pair of gloved hands.
"All ya gotta do is make him laugh, its the secret trick" a young woman said, leaning against Matt.
He lightly smiled, seeing her. "Since when were you so good at this kind of stuff?"
"It comes naturally t' a woman" the brown haired woman said with a smirk, rather glad to see him.
Alex rolled his icy blue eyes at them, looking at the boy with the teddy bear. "At least now we know what happened to the teddy bear" Alex said, leaning against the wall.
Matt looked up at her then held her shirt as he pulled her into a soft kiss, forgetting about her mutation.
"EEEEWWWWW" the little boy said as he pulled the blanket over his head.
"Get a room" Alex said before throwing a pillow at him.
"Hey!" He yelled at him, standing up then tossing the pillow back at him.
A sly smile found its way across Matt's face, "so when are you gonna ask Meagan out?" He blushed and looked away. "Why would I ask her out?"
"I never knew he liked Meagan, an' hes blushin' must be true!" Becca said with a clear smile across her face.
"I don't"
"yeah sure ya don't"
Becca and Matt looked at him,"hes totally crushing on her" they both thought, causing him to blush even more.
"I don't like her!" Alex yelled at them causing the small boy and several of the little mutants to start crying.
Matt covered his ears at the loud crying, wondering how the heck had his father lived with four kids! Cause he knew he'd screamed and cried at least once then his younger siblings weren't much better.
"Poor Matt" Becca said, before walking over to one of the youngest kids and gently rocking him. "Why don't we just put them to sleep?" Alex asked picking up a little girl then attempting to rock her to quietness. Matt sighed, his eyes turning a deep red for a moment before all the kids went to sleep.
Looking around, the other two were surprised. He'd really put them all to sleep with just his mind.
Becca set the little boy back under the covers, then let out a sigh of relief as she sat down in a tiny wooden chair.
"You shouldn't do that" she harshly said to him. "Why not?" "Got them to be quiet, so its fine" Alex and Matt said, defending him.
"Well, the kids are our responsibility an' they could get hurt by doin' that." She explained calmly.
"Yeah I suppose."
Alex looked at Becca, reading her mind. "Why are you thinking about that?"
"What" she asked before Matt raised an eye brow.
"About you killing him if he ever did that to your kids" Alex answered, hearing Matt choke. "What?" The couple said, looking between each other and him.
"Read her mind, shes thinking bout having a baby" Alex looked at Matt, reading his mind. "Never thought she even wanted to have kids, wait, does this mean shes pregnant?" the young man was beginning to worry bout the whole thing.
"Does this mean you are having a baby?" Matt asked, completely lost.
"NO, the whole under the covers thing doesn't work when I could put ya in a coma."
Alex rubbed the side of his head, "too much information."
"You like Meagan so you better ask her out better its too late." Matt said, putting his thumbs into his black zip up hoodie's pockets.
"Whys that?" He asked, guessing it was just one of those of those things where he was trying to get him to ask his sister out. "Cause, shes gonna move out of the school soon" he answered, hating the idea.
"What?" Becca asked, not believing it.
"She and this guy had sex and she got, yeah, but you two can't tell anyone" he said, looking at them.
"So shes pregnant." He just nodded.
Alex looked at him, unsure of what to say that. "Was it that Chris guy?"
"Yeah, they went to a party and she can't remember doing it with anyone besides him so yeah"
"So its his?"
"Sorry man, but its his."
They were both serious as they didn't look at each other.
"Is she positive? I mean maybe its not, maybe its just a mistake?" He asked, knowing how unlikely it was but hoping for some chance.
"Alex" Becca started before being cut off. "Yeah she is, she went to the doctor and he double checked and everything. Plus since shes got a healing factor and he does too meaning that the baby will most likely survive and be born even if its early" he explained, knowing that he wasn't helping. "Shes freaking out over the whole thing, she could really use some help. She doesn't want to talk to me about it and I'm fine with that but she does need to talk to someone about it" he finished.
"So Alex would be the best person to talk to but also the worse." Becca thought looking up as she thought about it.
Meagan sighed, this wasn't going well and her plan was failing, "note to self, never ask Matt for help again." She thought to herself, going back to her book. Not that she was actually reading since she had so much on her mind already. She was at a table in the cafeteria as one hand was stroking the orange cat grandpa Charles had given her nine years ago and the other hand was holding up her head.
"You smell different, are you using a new shampoo or something?" Daizuo said, leaning against the table to get a better sniff of her. She glared up at her before squeezing his nose "I thought the Japanese's school were suppose to teach you something about being normal."
"Yeah well, cousins are a special case" he said, giving her a soft smile. He was a lot like Matt since his mother was suppose to be like his genetic sister. They were different but when they were younger people would think that he was her younger brother by accident, since his dark brown hair didn't begin to lighten till he was around 13 making him look like her father, his uncle, but the blue eyes and the more Japanese look always though people off. He was even taller and skinner then Matt, something about his grandmother always being worried about him getting hurt at gyms. Similar to her brother, her father, and his mother, he had honor, something she never had much of. He liked to wear loose jeans that were held up by a belt with a tight shirt.
She just gave him a fake smile then looked back at her book. He dropped the smile realizing something was wrong, "what are you so down about?"
"Nothing"
"If she likes me then she won't talk to me bout being pregnant." Alex said, disagreeing with both of them.
"Yeah but she also has know ya since she was like five, and has held a crush since then."
"I believe when she was 12 she told the teacher that I was cheating on my test by using my powers."
"Yeah but she also healed ya when Sinister nearly killed ya" Becca said leaning against Matt.
"She likes ya and if ya ask her out now then she might not leave. Chris has to go back home in September for school, she's going to go with him unless you stop her. Thats just it" Matt said, not wanting to say it but feeling forced to.
Alex blinked at Matt, taking in everything he could on the subject from Matt's mind then sighing. "Why can't I ask her out when she comes back next spring? Help her then?"
Becca hit him, not hard just hard enough to say it was a stupid idea. "Think bout how Logan and Jean would react to learnin' bout her havin' a grand kid? Logan wouldn't be able to blow off any stream an' might not alone her t' stay or Jean might cry over it."
"Na, dad would kill Chris after findin' out then would play the part of the good father along with mom, who'd be helpin' her every step of the way. But Chris' folks are rough," "Chris' dad would be able to just kill the baby or make it grow and be born sooner. Then he could continue aging the baby till he was old enough to pass as a normal kid at the school" Matt started letting Becca finish as Alex realized the outcome.
"No way hes that powerful" Alex argued.
"Magneto's daughter could make Magneto the ruler of the world and change the rest of it an' ya don't believe us?"
"If hes that powerful then it might be for the better that the kid is born like that, then he'd just be able to go on like any other kid"
"Teen aged mothers do have a lot of trouble in life but Megs' ain't a weakling. Shes been kidnapped, she saw Logan without mom, she could handle another kid around here."
"The hardest part would be the actual being pregnant then givin' birth" Becca said, remembering something her mother had said about why she only had two kids.
Alex sighed, rubbing his temple with his fingers to think the whole thing though as Matt put his arm around Becca's waist.
"Don't ya dare say it" Becca said, her arms were wrapped around Matts' torso with her head resting on his chest as they slowly and still gently danced. She wore a short black dress that her parents wouldn't let her wear but looked just as nice while the Matt on the other hand wore black slacks with a loose white button up. His hair was neatly braided, his arms kept her close to him as if he didn't want her to leave.
"Say what?" He asked, having no idea what she was talking about.
"I know what ya thinkin' bout an' if think thats gonna happen t'night then you're dreamin" she said with a playful tone.
"I was thinkin' it could just happen here"
"Even think about it" "sorry but I think 'bout ya way too much to not to" he replied causing a soft blush to find its way across her face.
"Well if it was gonna be any guy I'd choose you. But not now" she said quietly, her voice trailing off.
"Yeah I know, can't a man joke?"
She closed her eyes, her head was still resting against his chest "as long as I can joke bout you turning gay then crushin' on Alex, then go ahead."
"Gay and kids are two very different topics, so find something else to joke about"
The two continued their mental conversation as Matt was elbowed in the gut by his so called girl friend.
"Nap times over" a young black haired boy said as he pulled on Alex's jeans.
"Doug," he sighed, picking up the boy. "Are you sure you don't want to sleep another 5, 10 or even 30 minutes longer?" The boy shock his head before being taken over to the drawing table where crayons covered the floors and table.
Four boys who looked the exact same began to wrestle as someone unexpected watched from the doorway. She choose to stay quiet as the kids started to wake up from nap time, as loud as possible.
A baby began to cry due to the noise in the room then Alex picked him up, trying to get him back to sleep or to stop crying. He wasn't at Matt's level where he could put everyone to sleep without messing up somewhere along the line.
Meagan sighed taking the still crying baby from Alex then slowly rocking him in her arms, causing him to stop crying. Alex just watched her, she was able to get the kid back to sleep within seconds. "Its called rocking" she said, noticing that he was watching her.
"I know" he replied, looking away. "So why are you still here?" She asked, looking at him.
"What do you mean?"
"Your parents run the other school and school is about to start again."
"Oh" he looked away. "I'm still here cause of you" he answered. She blushed setting the baby back in his crib.
Looking at him she saw that he was serious as she read his mind on the subject.
"I love ya Meg and I've always loved you for as long as I could remember. I've always just been afraid of what you thought of me."
"Alex" she said quietly.
"She loves you and he loves ya so go talk" Matt ordered them, grabbed them by the arm as he pulled them out the back door then locked them out.
"Matt" she yelled at her brother.
Ororo and Jean, came home later that night to find all kids sleeping somewhere within the room with their babysitters. Matt had four boys on top of him as all four were holding him down, and fast asleep, Becca had a toddler beside her as she slept within inches of Matt. Alex and Meagan were sitting next to each other as they slept against the wall with a toddler in the middle.
"How long do you think they've been like this?" Ororo asked her as she turned off the lights.
"Since Matt accidentally put everyone to sleep." She answered, watching her son sleep for what could be the last time he would let her see him sleep.
