With Dustin's help Kari was able to make it into the infirmary, but once she laid down on the bed something crossed her mind. "Where's Logan?" At the same time she came crashing back down to Earth. They weren't exactly on good terms and she was getting her hopes up.
"Last I knew Psylocke had gone off to go fetch the animal. I don't know if she's had any luck convincing him to come back or not but he should be here before too long. We were all worried about you. What happened..?"
"Too much Terrence, and I think I should wait until he's here to explain everything."

"I hope she finds him soon then. Excuse me a moment I still haven't taken any of my meds this morning." With that he exited the Infirmary.

Tanwen sat down in the chair next to Kari's bed.
"So you are with child, eh?" he asked, "that is a very lucky lad or lass in there. I think you will be a good mother. Is there anything I can get you?"

"Thank you Tanwen, I appreciate that. I can't believe I just found out though. I've been carrying for nearly two months. Sadly I'm afraid there's little you can do. Maybe let me know when Logan gets back, he needs to know about this." Kari said as she began to sob a bit. "Damn these hormones, they'll have me crying at infomercials."

"I will let you know as soon as Logan gets back" Tanwen replied, "my mother had much trouble with hormones. She would just watch something funny, which usually helped. I recommend The Three Stooges."
He left Kari to rest.

Before he left Kari looked Tanwen directly in the eyes. "You're a sweet boy, don't ever let yourself be convinced of anything else."
With that she was alone. All there was left to do, was wait. She thought to herself about the things they'd been through, all the times that they just managed to get through by a thread. They'd always handled things before. But this was different, it wasn't some enemy from the outside invading their paradise. It was an enemy of the worst kind. One from within...
"It's good to see you're back. I went to go fetch Wolverine. I can sense that there are some thing you two need to talk about. You can fill me in later. But I suggest you get this over with now." Psylocke said with a stern but concerned compassion in her tone. "I'll leave you two alone now..."
"Betsy..." Kari whined softly.

Logan caught the words sinister and headed to the infirmary. "Hello Kari" he said gently, a rare thing from him, "you look more than a little green around the gills."

"I needed help Logan. I had to, Sinister was the only one with the professor gone who could help me figure this out. He just asked for a bit of my DNA. I figured out a way for me to free them, thanks to his help. Plus he found something else." Kari hesitated for a moment. "I'm sick because he had to inhibit my healing ability a bit. Otherwise... I could lose, this." Kari said through worried tear filled eyes. She wasn't sure how he'd react. But she lifted back the sheet covering her revealing the now slightly more evident expansions of her lower abdomen. "I'm pregnant Logan."

"You went to Sinister, Kari?" Logan questioned, throughly shocked that she would do something so foolish, "you put yourself and our child in danger! Do you have any idea what Sinister would do if he got his hands on your powers?"

"I didn't have any other choice Logan I've been pregnant for almost two months without so much as a symptom. I would've lost our child if I hadn't done this. As for my DNA, in a couple hours I expect to hear a string of curses all the way from his hideout when he finds my blood samples are all cauterized and worthless in their canisters. I'm surprised they made it through his tests without spoiling." Kari did however have one thing on her mind.
"I don't think he did anything to the baby though. I was asleep most of the time. But still, I think he wants to recruit me. It sounds strange I know, but he was too nice. Too sincere, it was weird." This brought her back to a previous thought, one she wasn't looking forward to facing.
"So what happens now? I can release Professor X, and Jean tomorrow... Then? What happens to us?" Kari said trying to hold back the building tidal wave of emotion raging through her.

"Sinister doesn't have a nice bone in his body" Logan replied, "and if he did anything to you or the baby, I'm gonna rip his whole skeletal system out, one bone at a time." His anger briefly unsheathed his claws, but he retracted them.
"I don't know what's going to happen Kari, but whatever it is, we'll face it together. We might have our differences, but I will always love you."

"You have no idea how good it feels to hear you say that, Logan." She said as the overwhelming feeling of sadness began to fade out of existence. There was no longer a feeling of great weight pressing her down, and she felt as though she could breathe a little easier. "And I was fooling myself if I ever thought I could stop loving you. I'm so sorry, the other night I was out of control. You're the one I want to face the rest of my life with." She said wiping the sweat off her face. "I love you..."

"So, any ideas on names?" he asked.

"Not the slightest. I don't even know if the baby's a boy or a girl yet." Kari said finally able to focus on more pleasant things. A name... That was a good question, who knew? "I suppose a name will come to me soon enough. "So what are you hoping our baby will be? Boy or Girl?"

"I'm fine with either gender" Logan replied.
