Chapter 1

Jean remembered it all too clearly and she hated it. She often watched Logan sleep when she couldn't do so herself. She found it relaxing and she always thought he looked so cute whilst he was asleep. She loved him so much; he had helped her through the toughest time of her life and she couldn't help but think how lucky she was whenever she looked back to that day six years ago…

Jean walked briskly back to her and Scott's room, she had just had a very interesting lesson trying to explain genetics to a class, which unfortunately had Jubilee in it and she liked asking questions about Jeans life every few seconds. As she opened the door she almost walked straight into Scott who was carrying a bag.

"Jean! I wasn't expecting you back for another 2o minutes."

"I let the class go early." She was confused, his voice was emotionless and it was as if he didn't want her there. "Why do you have your bag?" she looked past him into their room, there was a note on the bedside cabinet. She walked past him and picked it up. "What's this?" She could sense him trying to walk away and with her telekinesis made it so he couldn't move. She read the letter and she could feel her heat breaking as she did so

Dear Jean,

By the time you will read this I will be gone. This is hardest letter I have ever had to write but I think this is the best way for you to find out. I have been having an affair…

Jean stopped reading. Scott looked at her, still unable to move, and was very worried "I should have been out of here by now" he thought, Jean heard his thought and her eyes glowed red as Scott flew through the open door with such force it pulled it off its hinges.

Logan was walking down the corridor down to his room, he felt like a ride on Cykes bike. Then all of a sudden Scott flew through the wall from Scott's and Jeans and landed in front of him. Before he could either help him up or laugh at him he heard Jeans voice coming from the room.

"You cowardly Son of a Bitch!" She shouted at Scott and started throwing things at him telekinetically. "You were breaking up with me by letter!" She looked to Logan who was standing close by; she had tears streaming down her face. "Who is she?"

"You don't know her." Scott replied.

"I asked who is she not do I know her!" Her eyes glowed red again as more objects were aimed at Scott's head.

By now there was a crowd forming in the corridor, watching the normally conservative jean Grey losing it at her Fiancé, or soon to be ex-fiancé as they all guessed.

"Her name is Emma." He stood up and looked defensive. "I'm leaving Jean I can't put up with it anymore!"

"Put up with what?" She shouted, fully aware of the Professor arriving.

"You. You've changed since Alkali Lake and your constant flirting with him" he pointed at Logan "doesn't help matters either."

"Hey, don't involve me in this." Logan put his hands up defensively. "This is your fault! We were fine until you got here!" he shouted at Logan. Logan was going to shout back when he heard a sob coming from Jean he was amazed how quickly she could go from being so angry to being in pieces.

Scott looked at her, and Logan could sense no remorse for destroying the beautiful woman in front of him. If Jean weren't right there he would have ripped his throat out. He would never treat Jean that way if he had her, Scott had no idea how lucky he was, or as the case stood now how lucky he had been.

"How could you do this to me?" She whispered, hoping that no one could hear, but Logan did. And the desperation and grief in her voice destroyed him. Scott didn't care. He just walked away. "No, Scott." She tried to go after him but Logan stopped her and held her in his arms. "Let go of me." She shouted whilst crying.

"No way. He isn't worth it." Jeans legs buckled at the intensively of her emotions, but Logan stopped her from falling to the floor.

"I love him, why has he done this." She whispered so only Logan could hear. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, needing the support. All she remembered after that was being carried to Logan's room.

It did still hurt when she thought about it, how Scott could have simply just done that to her, but now she was pleased it had happened. If it hadn't she would still be with him and wouldn't have Logan as a husband. And she certainly wouldn't have the little girl sleeping next door. It was four years ago to the very day little Madeline (Maddie for short) Charlotte Grey had been born. Logan joked that Jean was looking forward to Maddie's fourth birthday party more than Maddie was herself.

"You're staring at me again." Logan's voice startled her out of her trail of thought.

"Sorry, I couldn't sleep." She had one hand on his chest whilst leaning on her other arm on the bed. She was looking directly into his eyes. He ran on of his hands over his face.

"What time is it?" She looked to the clock on the bedside table.
"8.30."

"She'll be in soon. Asking where her presents are and when are we going to the mansion." Logan groaned, as hyperactive their daughter was she was also very predictable.

When Jean had found out she was pregnant, the Professor had immediately started planning for a house to be built on the site of the mansion. It was a suburban sized house with several rooms; Jean did miss living in the mansion still but she loved her own house all the same.

"I can't believe how quickly the past few years had gone. It will be our anniversary soon." Jean pondered slightly on what Logan would be going this year, it was their forth anniversary, she had refused to be pregnant on her wedding day, saying she didn't want to look like an elephant in a white dress. So they got married a month after Maddie was born.

Logan heard the door next-door open and little feet running to their door.

"Here she comes, we are in for a hell of a day." Jean laughed at him before kissing him gently on the lips. The door opened and Maddie walked in

"Mummy!" She bounded into the room and slump threw herself on to the bed, landing on Logan in the process.

"Ow!"

"Sorry daddy." She giggled.

"Its ok sweetie." Jean said as she sat up to look at her daughter properly. "We all know daddy's a grouch first thing in the morning." She laughed at the look on Logan's face.

"I'm having a shower." He said as he stood up. This is going to be one hell of a day he thought as he closed the on-suites door. He heard jeans voice in his head saying I heard that in his head.

"Damn that psychic link."

When I first started writing this it was going to be a one shot, but now i am turning it into a story... that is if you want more.
