X-Men: The Heart Of A Steel Man

Chapter 9(book 2)

A month later
"So I know it's been a year... since we last talked about this but I wanted to ask something. Well I really just want to know how you feel about this baby situation?"

"Oh...well I...I'm fine. Really."
"Then...you wouldn't mind talking about it? If you were able to have children hypothetically? What would be their names? What would the baby shower look like? What's—what would be your plan?" Dr. Wells, the therapist or counselor that they have been assigned to for s year Now was finally able to press them about the baby and what not.

"Nina? What woukd you think the babies gender would be. It's okay. Talk freely as much as you want. I won't stop you. You know this." Nina hesitated for a second and took a
Swift glance at Piotr. His mind was somewhere else but he was listening.

"I...well like I've said before i...I would like to have—twins. Yeah...twins. Maybe girls? Um, I'm not sure about names but I'd like to have twins. And I would have liked for each month of me being pregnant and so forth even after to buy a box of diapers. I mean babies do Uh...use the bathroom a lot so it would be enough for who knows how long. It sounds stupid I know. And—and for a baby shower? I'd like to not know their gender but have my best friend, Rogue set up the baby shower however she'd like. Oh, oh I would have so very much loved to have a hand made cradle. Piotrs good with woodwork and painting, so he could make it. Ah...I'm—-I'm rambling." Nina furrowed her brows.

It never hit Piotr as much as it did Nina. She was the one to actually have the baby but for Piotr. It just never clicked in his head till recently. He just wanted one of her to hold, he was correct. In fact, he had already made one. It was supposed to be a baby shower present but every since he kept it hidden, almost destroyed at one point. It had both their names on t with a blank spot for another name.

His expression had gone unshaped but he was hurting.
"Oh god, no no. That diaper situation sounds pretty legit. But it could cause problems. And the cradle. Amazing idea. Piotr?"

Piotr had been taken a longing look outside the window. Only Nina's hand breaking him out of it.
"What—What? Oh yeah...right. Uh.." he had no words due to not paying attention. Luckily he was saved by the ding. It was time to go. Piotr stood up and stretched as Nina did as well. Piotr led the way but Nina stayed back for a second.

"Uh, Dr. Wells?"
"Yes?"
"I, I did the hint you told me to do. On my anniversary?" Dr. Wells clapped her hands together.
"Yes, well?"
"I don't understand...what...what exactly was it supposed to do? It's not like we haven't done that before...?"

"I know. But it helped the both of you in some way right?"
"I guess. I think?"
"Good. Now just go home and get some rest okay?" Dr. Wells suggested and waved goodbye at the female.

Three months ago
"Listen...nina I...I want to help you. I can still obviously see you're still sad. But not completely"

"And what's that supposed to mean? I...this anniversary was supposed to maybe...be different then last years. Last years was sad but it...it meant something and I have nothing to give."

"Listen. Make him a nice...dinner. You know. Something not vegan. Mainly a steak. And yes I know you're vegan but maybe change this. And then, you have a pond in the back? Take him out there and spend some 'time' together in it. I promise you, you'll be alright."
