Disclaimer: I own nothing, I just love mutants and by writing this fan fiction I hope they become more widely accepted. LOL! Keep reading and review review review!!

WHAT??

Why are you so worried...

Feeling frustrated, Lance decided to head back to the tree house. She was supposed to be at the college today, so why wasn't she? Lance took a deep breath to calm himself as he parked the Jeep.

It's okay. You'll just have to find her some other way. Lance reached for the rope ladder, and felt a breeze behind him. That could only mean one thing.

"Pietro how have you been man?"

"I'm alright I just decided to see for myself if the rumors were true, I guess they are since you're here. What're you back in town for anyway?"

"I have to talk to someone that I have unfinished business with"

"If that someone happens to be a petite brunette, she's taken," Quicksilver mentioned casually.

Lance grimaced. "By who?"

"By me."

Both men froze as they heard the sound of a cell phone ringing coming from the tree house.

Did You Really Have To Call Now??

Shit, it's home. Might be about Anna.

"Hello, hey Mom"

"Kitty you were supposed to be home an hour ago where are you?"

"Something came up, I'll be home soon. Tell Anna I love her, Bye."

Maybe the guys didn't hear that. I could phase out but then they'd both know it was me up here anyway. I guess I'll just sit here and wait.

Pietro was, not surprisingly, the first one in the tree house. Lance wasn't far behind. "Kitty, what are you doing here," Pietro asked.

"I come here to think sometimes. Lance I haven't seen you in forever," she stated coldly.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"Pietro I'll see you tonight," Kitty said pointedly.

"I can take a hint. I'll pick you two up at seven."

Lance and Kitty watched as Pietro's blur faded from sight. They looked at one another in silence for several minutes.

"Why did you leave without telling me," the young woman's pain was obvious. "You told me you loved me and then you just left after I slept with you. I guess that's what you really wanted. You didn't really love me you only said that so I'd sleep with you."

Is That What She Really Thinks??

She never found the note I left...

Lance felt the earth begin to tremble underneath them. "Kitty." He watched her reaction pleased that she froze the instant her name left his lips. "You know me better than that, or at least you used to. I still love you, I never stopped. Remember the night that your dad found us in the woods?" Lance rushed on not waiting for an answer. "He told me if I left he wouldn't press charges. I had to go if I had stayed he would've had me thrown in prison. He wouldn't let me say goodbye"

"My father," she stated just beginning to process the information. "Lance can you meet me around ten at Legacy's Lake ? I have to go home and check on Anna before Pietro comes to pick me up."

"I'll be there, um who's Anna?"

I'm A What??

Oh my God he doesn't know about our daughter...

"I'm so sorry. Lance I should have told you the minute I saw you.

Anna is my- our daughter. She's almost three and she's gorgeous. Hold on," Kitty dug through her violet purse hunting for a picture. "Here you go." she watched him as he studied the picture. "She has your eyes. My nose though."

"She's ours," his amazement was reflected in his voice. "I want to meet her."

"I want you to meet too," Kitty conceded. "We were planning on having a picnic tomorrow. I'm sure it would be alright if you came with us, just meet me here at 12:30, okay?"

"I'll be there."

What Do You Mean You Invited Him??

She invited Lance..

"Listen Pietro I know you're not happy that I invited him, but he deserves to meet his daughter. Besides I'm not with him anymore, I'm with you." Pietro listened impatiently as Kitty rambled on. "It's not like the two of you are competing. I mean hell, Pietro we're practically engaged-"

"Practically, but we're not because you can't decide whether or not you still have feelings for him," Pietro said effectively cutting her off. Her silence told him that his guess was right on target. "Kitty, I love you. But you need to decide what, or who you want." Pietro paused, considering what to say next as he watched tears begin to form in her eyes. "I can't be with you if I think you really want him. I love Anna too, you know that."

"Pietro, I just need some time to think alright? Things are getting a little crazy for me right now," she explained.

"I understand that I just need to know that I'm the one for you."

"You are it's just that- his coming back is bringing a lot of- I just never had any closure and that's all I want."

What she said made sense to the silver-haired mutant, but he just wasn't sure if he could trust her about this.

Are We There Yet??

Great, I wish I'd known that he was coming..

Lance made absolutely sure that he was at Kitty's by 12:30, only to find that he wasn't the only man who'd been invited. If his sour expression hadn't shown everyone present he wasn't pleased, the earth's rumbling certainly had. He sneered, "I didn't know he was coming." Jerking his head to indicate Pietro. Then spotting the tiny brunette in Kitty's arms he said, "You must be Anna, you look just like your mother." Looking up at Kitty he asked, "What should she call me- I mean is it okay with you if she calls me 'Daddy,' or should I be Lance?"

"Well," Kitty replied, "You are her father, so I guess you're 'Daddy.'"

"Good." Talking to Anna once more he began, "I'm your Daddy, hon. Fu- I mean, um, gosh you have no idea how weird that sounds. I hope you like peek-a-boo I kick butt at that game." Lance was surprised that as he was speaking the little girl's smile grew. "I guess you like me."

"Okay everything's all ready so let's head over to the park"

"Fine. Kitty, I'll carry Anna we can walk from here," Pietro jumped in throwing Lance a look full of contempt.

How Can I Choose??

They're both great but Lance left me and Pietro's always been here for me. Even after Lance left...

"I know Rogue," Kitty spoke into the phone letting out a sigh of exasperation, while watching Anna color a purple dinosaur. "But I just can't get Lance outta my head. I love Pietro, I really do, but I love Lance too."

"Girl," Rogue's lazy southern drawl made it evident she wasn't from New York. "You have to make up your mind and I can't do that for you. Listen, if you don't make a choice soon you won't have one left. I get that it's a really crappy decision you have to make, but don't make one and you're stuck alone."

"Rogue, why do you have to make so much sense? You're right and I think I know who I'm gonna choose, but I need to be sure whatever I choose is right for Anna too. Bye Rogue"

"Talk to you later, Kit"

Choosing?

Are you sure this is right...

"Pietro, I would love to become your wife," Kitty looked at herself in the mirror trying to decide what to tell Pietro tonight. She'd made him wait long enough, and Rogue was right- she had to make a choice. She was thinking out loud as she muttered under her breath, "Or you could say Pietro I love you,but it's just not right"

Alley Alvers- Thanks you're my first review!! Here's the update you asked for.

WhiteWolfChickie- I love having multiple points of view it helps me get more inside each

characters head which is awesome!!

FelineFairy100- Honestly I have no idea which couple this story is going to end with I'm

a hardcore lancitty fan, but I refuse to restrict myself to particular

couples just because I like them.

LadyChriz- Thank you!! Glad you like it.

I'm sorry that I didn't write in Rogues accent, but I decided y'all really didn't want to read the slaughtering that I would've made of it. Make sure to tell me in your review who you think Kitty should end up with Lance or Pietro? If y'all have any ideas let me know, if I like them I'll try to work them in! I'll update as soon as I have enough written, and can get to the internet again! Hopefully I'll get my own connection in July for my birthday and can update more frequently then! Seventeen in two months minus two days!!
