Logan seemed to have now words until one rang in his head, "Pregnant. Ally is pregnant." Shit. How long had it been since he had seen her last. It had to be his. Why else would she be healing? He let her hand go for the first time since he can into the room. He walked over the to window. He wanted Sabertooth now more than ever. He had not only attacked Allyson but his unborn child. He took a breath trying to calm him. She would need him to in control when she woke.
Nobody spoke for a while until Logan broke the spell of silence that hung in the room. He turned around to face them. "The baby is okay?"
"I would say so, It will be hard to know until we run some test on her and the child," Beast smiled at him.
"So it would be hard to for someone to off her now?" he murmured.
"Not impossible though," Charles pointed out.
"While she carries your child that is," Beast added. "Is it yours? Only Ally can answer that but I don't know of many other mutants who heal themselves."
'My child', he thought. It seemed surreal. Why didn't you tell me? Did she know? She had to. How could she not. He walked slowly towards her and sat down again. He rubbed the back of his neck and sighed.
Jean walked over to him and put a gentle hand on his arm. "Logan, if you need me ..." She smiled weakly at him. He nodded still looking at Ally. How could he look at Jean right now? She stood silently and walked out.
Beast walked over to Ally and checked her Iv and the medicines he had been giving her.
Logan couldn't remember the last time he had betrayed somebody as badly as he had Jean. He remembered one and he looked up at them.
"How long has she been here?" he asked Beast.
"Just since this morning."
Charles noticed the alarm in his voice, "Why Logan?"
"If she hasn't been conscious we need to wake her." He looked at them both.
"Waking her is not an option," Beast looked down his nose, "She needs to heal."
"She hasn't been conscious Logan but why should we be concerned?" Charles asked again.
"Because her sisters could rip the place apart," he sighed " they protect each other like it's them against the world. If she has cut contact with them."
"They act now and ask questions later?" Beast guessed.
"Not unlike others we know," Charles teased him. " I will contact them before or when they get here."
"If they listen," he looked around the room, "otherwise we have try to bring them down nicely."
"Why wouldn't they listen?" Charles wondered aloud.
"I am not exactly their favorite person," he gave them both a rueful smile, "Justice might listen."
"Logan what exactly are we dealing with here?" Beast sat down in a nearby chair to listen.
"They are all telepaths. Justice is the oldest; he is pretty strong and fast. Then there is Hayley, Allyson and Alexandra they are triplets. Hayley controls fire and has a temper to match. Alex controls ice and can freeze things. Allyson she is a lot like Jean she can use her mind to move things. She helps keep the other two balanced. They can also fist fight pretty well if needed."
"Oh, my," Hank looked worried now.
"We should be prepared," Charles looked thoughtful, "Are they as powerful as they sound?"
Logan shrugged. He turned Ally's dog tag around in his hand. He knew his memory was full of holes but how could he forget Allyson?
"I don't want a brawl at the school but if they are coming we should be prepared." Charles sighed, "I should gather the others." He left the room quietly.
Beast put a hand on Logan's shoulder, "I am sure Charles and the others will handle it."
"They ain't handlin' it alone. I know these guys."
