Chapter Eighteen.
Jean nodded "yes, we should check how far along you are," Jean commented and Charles nodded, "agreed, we don’t know the full extent of a mutant pregnancy yet," Charles added making Mokuba chuckle awkwardly.
"Glad to be the first."
"Are you okay?" Scott asked frowning and Mokuba chuckled, "I'm fine, Scott. Really, are you?" Mokuba asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay."
As Jean placed an ultrasound device on Mokuba's stomach, the sound of a strong, steady heartbeat filled the room before the image of a baby appeared on the monitor.
Scott and Mokuba's faces instantly melted at the sound of their child, and seeing the little thing made their eyes swell with love.
"Oh my God, that's our baby!"
"They are absolutely incredible."
"Strange, your baby's developing quite well, quite quick actually your baby's already 18 weeks old, yet your body is the same as usual," Jean commented causing Charles and Scott to look worried, “that's not good, Professor can you...do you know why that is?" Scott asked, concerned.
"My best idea is that Mokuba's x-genes are accelerating the pregnancy too quickly for Mokuba's body to catch up with," Charles explained before Mokuba paled, "oh shit, was I pregnant this whole time?! When I nearly got myself killed to save Rogue twice when we fought Magneto, did I endanger my child?!" Mokuba asked panicked.
"Hey, Mokuba, calm..."
"Calm down?! Scott, I could've killed our child and they're not even here yet!" Mokuba quickly said feeling sadness, "no, you didn't, your daughter's just fine she's got your forcefield around her, I can sense it now," Jean said easing Mokuba's panic.
"Did you say daughter?"
"Are we...we're having a baby girl?"
"At 18 weeks, you can tell the gender."
Mokuba closed his eyes and placed a hand on his stomach, he couldn't feel her kick or anything, but he could feel something; his powers were protecting something inside him.
"But she's gonna be okay?"
Jean nodded before Charles looked thoughtful.
"Mokuba, I want you here every other day so I can make sure both you and your child are okay," Charles declared making Mokuba chuckle, "trust me, I will. I'm not going to endanger my daughter's life," Mokuba assured.
"Are you okay with this? Having a baby, I mean, please don't do this for me 'cause this is what I want," Scott said nervously and guiltily, Mokuba smiled reassuringly "it is, I promise," Mokuba assured.
"You want this?"
"Ah huh."
Scott grinned before pulling Mokuba into a bear hug, who hugged back.
Word quickly spread that Mokuba was expecting and was constantly getting congratulated, though he appreciated it.
Rogue even helped Mokuba and Scott decorate the nursery.
Then a few months later, Melissa Katherine Summers was born.
"She's incredible."
