A New Life

A couple no older than mid twenties strolled down a windy dark park. Leaves reselling in the cold October air in the city of Gotham. A young women with blonde hair and icy warm eyes looked up at her newly husband with his dark black hair and brown eyes as he looked at her lovingly with love and admiration. Happily walking down the now empty park the couple were startled when a tiny wailing was heard in then silent night. Running towards the direction of the sound the couple were shocked when a they came across a black bundle of cloth which wiggled and cried into the chilly air. The young man cautiously walked slowly up the bundle as the women stood behind her husband. Bending down the man pulled the cloth down gently. Both couple gasped when they discovered a tuft of small red curls visibly showing in the moonlight . Along with soft smooth pale skin, bright emerald eyes starred back at the couple with tears rolling down chubby cheeks. A small whimpered came out of pout soft pink lips, immediately the blonde picked up the whimpering baby infant no older than a few days old into her warm arms.

"Greg how can people be so cruel," rocking the whimpering infant back and forth," leaving such a small helpless baby out here in the cold."

"I have no idea Meg," putting one gentle finger and stroking the infants soft cold cheek, " We have to take the baby to the police."

"No Greg"

"Megan don't -"

"What if they put the baby in a orphanage? You know how dirty and crowded it is with all those children. We're doing them a favor with taking this one in."

"But Meggy -"

"Didn't you say yourself you wanted to raise children with me and grow old?" interrupting her husband once gain with pleading eyes.

"Yes but we're only newly weds, we don't know anything about raising childrens. Besides, with my busy schedule in the hospital and your teaching courses at the University there wouldn't be time for kids right now.

"But Greg look at her something inside of me is telling me to keep her and I just can't ignore my intuition."

Sighing Greg took a few minutes to stare at his wife, " Ok, ok then we'll take it to Gotham Hospital. I'll call Thomas and see if he could help us with this predicament. Then if we can we'll go to those adoption agencies. They'll still going to take her to the orphanage for the meantime," looking down at his sorrowful wife he quickly changed topics, "but once that's done we'll do what ever it takes to get her. Meggy are you sure you want a baby right now?"

"Greg you know I can't have babies of my own since my accident, how much I want to be a mother so badly but this little one I don't know….. but I feel as if she's calling me to keep her."

"Well she sure is cute for a baby," smiling down with kind eyes and smile," Never seen eyes that color before."

"Oh she's just a beautiful baby girl, such a beautiful …" suddenly Megan got a weird misty look.

"What is it Meggy?"

"I just never mind," coming out from her daze," she looks like a….. Ann…Ana…Anna Je…Jean….. Yes Jean." looking down at the sleeping infant cradled in her arms. "Welcome to the world Anna Jean Grey.
