"Wait, 1993?" Taylor repeated.
"Yeah, isn't that weird? That's like, 18 years ago."
"How'd you manage to find a copy of 1993 though?" Zac asked. "You'd think they'd all disappeared by now."
"Oh, I was doing an interview with Chance, you know, that new girl band? It was done at Gwen's house and I was asked to hang out afterwards y'know? Gwen just happened to have it. It was the only one she ever had and it belonged to her parents."
"Oh, ok. So, what about it?"
"Ok well, we started looking up all these records and stuff, just for the fun of it. Anyway, as a joke, we looked up motherhood."
"Why am I suddenly getting a bad feeling about this?" Taylor asked.
"Oh gee, I dunno." Babsie replied with a smirk. "Anyway, the woman who had the most kids was this Russian who lived in the seventeenth century. She had a grand total of… wait for it… Zac, you might wanna put down that drink… 69."
It was a good thing Zac put down his drink.
"69!" Taylor, Zac, Rita and Isaac exclaimed.
"Ooh, I am so glad we set up the video camera." Babsie replied gleefully. "I wanna remember that look for the rest of my life! Yes, 69. Including 16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets. Personally, I feel sorry for her. I hope I never have quadruplets. Let alone four sets, my goodness."
"69." Zac said again, still obviously amazed.
"Yeah, and the second most was 55, then 42, 39, 32, 28, 24 and two women with 22."
"And you remember those numbers off the top of your head?" Rita asked.
"Yep! Oh ok, I wrote them on my hand, see?"
"Tay?"
"Yes Zac?"
"Do you get the feeling Babsie trying to lead up to something?" Zac asked suspiciously. "You're not planning on having 70 kids are you?"
"Nah, there's not that many X-men." Isaac replied with a grin.
"Oh ha ha." Taylor retorted. "Babsie's pregnant again isn't she though?"
"Yep. However did ya guess?"
"Yeah, well, I just wanted to prove that it's not all that bad to have 15 kids ok?" Babsie said. "So lay off."
"Oh, go take your own advice." Zac replied.
