Chapter 7:
I finally got everyone out of my room, Kattie and Maddy are like tiny magnets. I had people coming in and out of my room, I don't think the door shut at all during this time. And Bobby almost dropped Kattie, his holding privileges have been severely cut. I was surprised how well everyone took it, I thought at least someone would threaten to tell their parents. But then again Professor X did give all of us a chance to be normal and fit in, I should have had more trust in my friends. Right now I am laying on my bed catching up on my Tumblr, I swear it is the best website ever freakin created. And oh joy, classes start up again the day after tomorrow. Oh crap, who's going to watch the girls, I can't take them to class with me, can I?
Knock, Knock
Oh god, more visitors. I'll just tell them the girls are sleeping right now.
Kitty got up and walked over to the door. She opened the door, and was shocked to see Professor Xavier on the other side. She thought he wouldn't show up until at least tomorrow.
"Uh, professor, hi" she said awkwardly.
"Hello Kitty, may I come in?" Professor Xavier asked.
"Sure" Kitty said moving aside. He walked in and Kitty shut the door behind him.
"So, Kitty, this, is quite a predicament we are in." He said, stating the obvious.
"Yeah, professor-" Kitty started.
"Kitty, you can call me Charles" He told her.
"Okay, Charles" Kitty said, the name sounding weird coming off her tongue. But they did have twins together, without ever being 'together'. So, weirder things had happened.
"I just wanted to discuss-"
"Wahhhahh" Charles was cut off by the loud cries of a baby. Kitty raced over to the cribs and turned on a light that was over the cribs. Charles hadn't even noticed the cribs because it was so dark. The only light that was on was a small one by the bed. Kitty picked up a cry baby and Charles walked over to see her.
"Hey sweetie, what's wrong?" Kitty said rocking the little blonde haired baby. The baby stopped crying and looked around at Kitty face. "Oh, you little trickster." Kitty said tickling her belly. Being only a week old the baby really didn't respond. "Uh, Charles, do you want to hold her?" Kitty asked him looking really wide eyed and hopeful, a look no man can resist.
"Uh,no, I'm good" He said backing away slightly. Apparently the look wasn't as good as Kitty thought.
"Waaaaahaah" Now both of the babies were awake.
"Would you please hold her while I take car of Maddy?" Kitty asked. Charles held up his hands and tried to back away. But Kitty glared at him until he stopped. Charles took a deep breath an held out his arms. Kitty smiled and gently set the baby in his arms. Charles looked kinda awkward holding a baby, which made Kitty smile and laugh. Then the whaling of Maddy snapped her out of it and she picked her up. "Oh, god, I don't even have to check, you smell." She walked over to the changing table between the cribs. She quickly changed Maddy's diaper, receiving loud protests from Maddy in the process. Charles was just kinda standing there, awkwardly holding Kattie. "There all done." Kitty said picking Maddy up.
"So,uh, her names Maddy?" asked Charles.
"Actually its Madison, and you're holding Kaitlynn, but I call them Maddy and Kattie." Kitty told him. Charles nodded and looked down cautiously at the baby in his arms, like it would suddenly jump up and attack. Kitty had to laugh at the situation.
"What's so funny?" Charles asked.
"You look like you've never held a baby before." she told him.
"Oh, well I have, it has been a while though." he confessed.
"Well, you might want to change her position or she'll probably start crying." Kitty informed him. He looked a little panicked and didn't seem to have any clue what so ever about babies. "Here" she said stepping closer to him. "Holder her like I'm holding Maddy. Close to your body, and rest her on the crook of you arm." Charles shifted Maddy around until she seemed content and almost instantly fell asleep. "See its not so hard" she told him. Kitty saw a smile cross his face as he looked down at Maddy. Kitty smiled brightly and gently set Kattie down in her crib. She motioned for Charles to do the same, he gently set Maddy in the crib. He looked almost sad to not have her in his arms anymore. "So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Kitty asked.
"Well, I, to be honest" Charles started. "I came in here fully prepared to let you take care of Maddy and Kattie by yourself." Kitty didn't seem at all surprised by that. "But after actually seeing them and holding Kattie, I'm not exactly sure anymore that that's the right choice."
To say Kitty looked shocked would be an understatement. She had fully expected him to tell her that she could raise the girls by herself, as if they weren't his kids. Even though he barley played a role in their conception, he actually seems to care about their well being.
"If you wanted I could help you out." Charles told her. But Kitty was still to stunned to speak. "Kitty?" Charles asked waving his hand in front of her face.
"Yeah, sorry" Kitty apologized. "It's just, I was sure you were going to tell me you didn't want any thing to do with them." Kitty told him.
"Well, it's nice to have a surprise every once in awhile." Charles told her.
"Yeah" Kitty laughed. "But I think I've had enough surprises in the last week to last a lifetime." she said grinning.
"Same here" he said smiling. They stood their in awkward silence for a minute or two. "So, I should probably let you get back to whatever you were doing." he said before quickly exiting the room. Kitty walked over to Maddy crib and lovingly looked down at her.
"Enjoy your peaceful sleep sweetheart, because I have a feeling the next few days will be anything but peaceful." Kitty told her sleeping daughter's.
