It had been a few days since she and Nightcrawler had spent the entire night in his room, and she had yet to let Logan in on her heart's true desire: to be with Kurt. Evidently there would be no prolonging things any longer - through their carelessness, Storm and Kurt were now expecting. Or Storm was, rather. Kurt probably wasn't expecting anything. But he was about to find out. Just as she'd done the past few nights (at least at some point), Ororo slipped through Kurt's unlocked door and blinked her tear-reddened eyes in the darkness. It was warm in the room, and particularly dry, which did nothing for her irritated features, but felt welcoming nonetheless. She moved for his bed and pulled the blankets down, "Kurt?" she eased down, carefully and sat in the empty space beside where he lay. Her eyes were already welling again due to an infinite amount of mixed emotions.

She was pregnant. It wasn't her 'lover's' child. She had a horrible virus that made her feel far less than motherly. The baby was coming far sooner than any normal pregnancy would've allowed. She hadn't told either of the men in her life about her condition. She felt old, unhelpful, and like a burden. Yes, there the tears came again.

"I was downstairs earlier, in the lab," sniffle. Her hand snaked through blankets and sheets to find his and she squeezed hard when she finally caught her target. "I have some news for you." Pitching the whole subject as though it was a bad thing would never make the situation better, would it?
