What changes everything
A/N Hello! Again, may be 'minor suggestive adult themes', so rated T for a reason. Then again, it could just be me being paranoid so it might be fine. Either way, I hope you like it!
A few weeks later
Charles stares at Lena from his position from across the chess board. What she is saying to him makes him smile, and he flirts back. Erik glares at them. He still thinks their new relationship is inappropriate, firstly because of the sensitivity of it; they are meant to be finding Shaw, and secondly because here are children present. Hank's new invention hasn't escaped his notice, and he's pretty sure whatever is going on inside those two heads isn't pretty.
Erik grips his newspaper tightly, his knuckles going white as he looks at the chessboard. Charles has let him down in many ways. However this ends, Erik's sure they won't part as friends.
He scowls when Aiysha laughs. Alex is trying to teach her how to play table football, but is totally failing. Unless you count beating her hands down teaching her. Aiysha doesn't seem to mind though.
Hank notices Erik glare towards the two telepaths, and he pulls a small metal device out of his pocket. He begins to fiddle with some of the knobs, and a small whirring sound begins. Hank looks up quickly to see the reaction of the test subjects, but they are motionless.
Aiysha looks over at Hank curiously. He hasn't used it before, so she's curious to see if it works.
Erik walks over to Hank and stand behind him, his eyes fixed on the small screen. He's grateful Hank has kindly made the device out of metal, so if things go to far, Erik can crush it. Erik doesn't particularly want the children knowing about the relationship between Charles and Lena. It would completely set them off course to finding Shaw, and finding Shaw is the most important thing at the moment.
Letters flash up on the screen, and Hank turns one of the knobs excitedly. He screws up his nose. He doesn't understand what Charles and Lena are talking about. For once, the genius is stalled.
He doesn't have much time to ponder this, though, because an even stranger thing happens. This takes him less time to get to the bottom of. He glares at Erik, after watching his new toy collapse in on itself.
Erik gives him a stern look. Hank crosses his arms, sulking.
Lena suddenly gets up, holding her stomach. That's weird, she thinks. It's not due for another week at least. Nausea washes over her, and she runs out. She dashes as quickly as she can up to her bedroom, her stretched arm unlocking the door whilst she's still running up the stairs.
She makes it just in time. Lena leans back on the cold bathroom floor, and it chills her hot, feverish body.
Lena doesn't like being ill. It means she can't train, and can't think straight. So hopefully Shaw won't attack in the next few days.
Raven and Aiysha rush in, to find Lena sprawled on the floor, completely and utterly asleep. Between them, they lift her onto her bed and lock her door.

Lena crouches on the bathroom floor. The light flashes the exact colour she doesn't want it to flash. Congratulations, the screen tells her, a baby is on the way!
Lena curls up in a ball, and begins to sob.
