At some point during the night Kattie, Maddy, and I must have fallen asleep at the table. Because the next thing I knew I was being woken up by Carter.A little background info here, Carter is one of the other three who failed their exams and had to stay behind and miss an awesome cruise. He's 13 and his powers include microwave manipulation, and the ability to be completely sweet and adorable. The second part isn't really one of his powers but he's seriously just like a human lollipop.
"Hey, Carter" I said yawning rubbing my eyes. "Oh, crap, I feel asleep" I shot up and looked worriedly over to the empty spots were Kattie and Maddy had been last night.
"Don't worry Kitty." I looked behind me and I saw Hank and Storm holding the girls. I sighed and sat back down.
"I brought them both down here to change their diapers, I must have fallen asleep." I told them. "That was so irresponsible of me, the-they could have rolled off the table and got hurt." I buried my head in my hands feeling so guilty.
"Don't worry, Kitty" Storm said, and I could feel her hand on my shoulder. "You're not going to do everything perfect from the beginning. You're a new mother in a frightening situation, you're still learning. And if you ever need any help don't forget we're always here for you if you need it." Storm said. I stood up and hugged Storm, careful not to squish my baby.
"Thanks, Storm. You don't know how much that means to me." I told her honestly. "Hey, let me see my kid" I said laughing. She handed me Maddy and smiled warmly. "Hey, Hank"
"Yes?" he asked. Looking up from Kattie who he'd been rambling to in baby talk.
"Did you finish those tests?" I asked curiously.
"No, not yet" Hank said. "I should probably go continue working on those. He handed Kattie over to Storm and I walked out of the room toward the infirmary.
"Well, now what?" I asked know one in particular.
"Oh, Kitty that reminds me, I found you a new room." Storm told me. "Come on I'll show you" We said bye to Carter and Storm grabbed my hand and started pulling me toward the stairs. We went up the stairs and then stopped at the seventh door on the right. Storm pulled a little key card from her pocket and swiped it through the slot on the door. A lot less things were being stolen since we updated to the key cards. And it made me feel like I was in a fancy hotel. Storm pushed open the door and we walked inside. The room was bare except for a queen sized bed with a canopy and a dresser.
"Wow, its huge" I said completely stunned. Dang, I didn't even know the mansion had rooms this big. That sentence was pretty stupid, its a mansion it has huge room!
"Yup, and its all yours. Well, you're, Kattie's, and Maddy's" she clarified. I walked over to the bed and sat down on it. Oh my, god, it was like sitting on a pile of baby ducks. "Hey how about I leave you with the girls and I go get the bassinet from your room." Storm said. I nodded and Storm set Kattie on the bed next to me and left the room. I stood up and put Kattie and Maddy in the middle of the bed and watched them.
"When you two are bigger we're going to do all sorts of fun things together. Like shopping, listening to music, partying. Well, not to much partying." I said. I don't need my girls being crazed party animals. "Man, I'm gonna have to get a job. How am I going to support all three of us. I hope your daddy will be able to pitch in, whoever he is."
"You having a heart to heart" Storm asked walking into my room, wow, my room, that felt nice. She set the bassinet down next to the bed and sat down next to me.
"I was just wondering what I'll do once I graduate. I don't have a job, I don't know how I can support myself." I confided in her.
"Don't worry kitty, everything will works out in the end" Storm said hugging me. "I can already tell that you are going to be a wonderful mother to these girls."
"I hope so" I mumbled. "Well, let's get this room set up." I told her jumping off the bed, suddenly feeling like I had drank 4 monsters.
"Why don't you start bringing over stuff from your old room. I'll watch the girls, oh and don't carry anything too heavy." she told.
"K" I said walking out of my new room and heading toward my old one. I opened the door and started taking inventory of everything I needed. I opened my closet and pulled out as many clothes as I could carry and started walking back to my room. Storm was putting the girls in the bassinet so I started hanging my clothes up, in the huge walk in closet! This was the best room ever, I really need to check out the bathroom. I set up my clothes all nice and neat. If I start off neat, it might actually stay that way.
The rest of the day was spent fixing up my new room, bring in the baby stuff Storm had gotten me yesterday, and being just plain silly with the girls. We took a bunch of pictures, the first pictures ever taken of Maddy and Claire. I have to remember to put the pictures in the baby books I ordered when they get here tomorrow. I was surprised that Hank didn't have a heart attack when he saw how much I spent, actually he said he was surprised I didn't spend more. Everything I ordered should get her tomorrow, so another moving day tomorrow. Except we get to assemble cribs and strollers. Yay!
Next chapter is gonna be a great chapter, it is probably my favorite. And it will reveal who Maddy and Kattie's father is. RR
