Okay, this is an exciting chapter, and I know for a fact some of you are going to hate me after you read it.
Window seats are pretty nice. This new room of mine is great, it even has a built in window seat with fancy pillows. Hank just finished putting together the cribs and the girls are both resting comfortable in their separate cribs. Kattie's is a dark wood crib with purple flowered bedding and Maddy's is a white wood crib with pink butterfly bedding. They both look so adorable, and Hank gave me a for sure that he would know who their father was the end of today, and also I'll get a copy of their birth certificates. Storm and Hank still haven't contacted the teachers on the cruise to fill them in on what's been going on. Hank assured me that it'd be better to let them finish their vacation, then let everything explode into a huge freaking ball of craziness later.
Five days later:
"Come on you guys" Bobby said running into the mansion carrying two large suitcases. Jubilee, Kurt, Rouge, and Amara. He burst through the doors only to find Professor's Monroe and McCoy waiting on the stairs. He started up the stairs but was stopped by the professor's.
"Bobby, you can't go upstairs right now. Would you please stay in this room, tell everyone else that too. Gather everyone here we have an announcement" Professor Monroe instructed.
"k" he went back outside to get everyone else.
"Do you really think this is the way to tell them?" Hank asked Storm.
"Yes, this way they all get the facts first hand, and they know the correct story. Besides as soon as they see Kitty they're going to know that something is up." she pointed out. Soon all the students and teacher filled into the room.
"Ororo, Hank, what's going on?" Professor Xavier asked walking inside.
"We'll explain in a moment." Storm told him. That seemed to be enough for him, he walked over to Jean and Scott and started talking with them. Logan walked in an joined them a moment later.
"Is everyone here" Storm called out. They all looked around and someone yelled 'I think so'. "Time to get started" Storm said.
"Well, in the week you were all gone there were some, interesting developments" Storm began. "They involved a student here, Kitty Pryde." All the students started talking all at once. Hank cleared his throat, which seemed to regrab their attention's.
"Is Kitty Okay!" Kurt yelled.
"Yeah, yeah, Kitty is fine, now. But do to what happened things here will be a bit, different. I believe many of you remember the mutant Makba from a few months back." Hank said.
"The weirdo!"someone yelled.
"Yes, well many of you remember the flashing light that he surrounded Kitty with, and how he said she'd find out what it did later on. Well, we found out what it did." Storm told them. All the students had worried looks on their faces, they all knew Kitty, and knew how nice of a girl she was, and how she always went out of her way to help someone else. "At first we didn't understand how what had happened happened. But after searching the internet vigorously, Professor McCoy found that Makba had registered in the mutant database and we discovered he was the cause of what happened to Kitty."
"What happened to her!" Jubilee yelled out.
"Well it turned out Makba's power is concealing the fact that the bright beam causes the victim to become, pregnant." Storm told them. There was a sudden and collective 'WHAT!'
"So Kitty had a baby" Bobby yelled.
"Yes, but-"
"Storm you should have contacted us" Jean told her disappointingly. Everyone started yelling over other voices, everyone was either voicing their opinions or just standing their catatonic. But they all felt shocked and betrayed.
"HEY!" someone screamed, they all recognized the voice and the room immediately silenced. "Would you all shut up." Everyone parted and Kitty walked through the doorway. Holding a baby car seat in each hand. They could all see clearly that both babies were girls, what with the pink car seats and pink matching jumpers and the little headbands.
"Whoa, is there two there" Bobby said pointing to them sleeping babies.
"Yeah, got a problem with that." Kitty growled angrily.
"Now all of you shut up and let them explain. I'd explain, but I'm tired, and I'm going to bed." Kitty started up the stairs, feeling about a million eyes on her back and headed to her room. The room was dead silent, and as soon as Kitty was out of earshot Storm started explaining again.
"Now, yes Kitty had twins. No, we were not aware until she had them. That is what Makba's power does it masks all sign of the pregnancy until, well, ya know. Also we decided to tell you this way so all of you heard the facts right the first time and none of you heard them second hand and heard it wrong. And to why we didn't tell you. Kitty already had enough going on, she didn't need a million people breathing down her neck and telling her what to do, and how to do it. She's completely capable of taking care of her own children. And after seeing her take care of them for a week I can say without a doubt that she is a very very good mother." Storm told them. They all kinda nodded. Thinking about it now, Kitty had always been kinda motherly.
"Also Makba is not the girls father." Hank said, which raised a bunch of eyebrows. "It seems that in every case, and Makba has done this to many women, not just Kitty. That the father is the first male to come in physical contact with her after it happens." he told them.
"So, who's the father?" a girl asked.
"Well, we don't believe that information should be shared right now." Storm told them.
"Go ahead" "Yeah tell us" "It can't be that bad" were all heard in the next few seconds, all at once the noise rose and everyone's voices was trying claw over someone else's voice.
"Everyone quiet!" yelled Jean. "Now, who is the father of Kitty's kids?" she asked.
Storm took a deep breath and looked out a the group of people, everyone seemed to lean in farther. "The father is, Charles"
Please don't hate me, but I've been planning this since I first had the idea for the story. Hope you enjoyed it. RR
