Summary: Classic Scott/Jean/Logan triangle. Takes place after X1, some comic background but not too much. Logan returns from his trip to Canada. Jean has some news of her own.

Rating: PG

"You're back." Jean said. Logan wasn't sure to take that as a question or a general comment.

"Just got in." Logan responded. Logan wasted no time and closed the door by Jean. The two were now standing very close to each other. "I've missed you." Logan said very softly. Jean took a step back, unsure on how to answer, her feelings mixed once again.

"Logan, please don't."

"What?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

He gave a quick smirk. "Look Logan.. I'm sorry but I'm with Scott."

"You weren't with him all those nights.."

"Stop." Jean cut him off. "That was a long time ago.. it was a mistake."

"I hardly call 3 months a long time .. and I have missed you Jeannie.. so much."

"A lot's changed since you left."

"Really? You maybe the telepath Jean, but I can read your mind.. I know you have some weird sense of loyalty to Summers, but I left to give you space but you still have feelings for me."

"I thought you left to discover your past. I told you when you left, I'm with Scott."

"That's not how I remember it.

(Flashback of Jean to Logan 3 months ago)

"I'm with Scott.. I can't be with Scott if you're here.. Logan please.. go to Canada.."

"Forget my past Jeannie, right now I'm only thinking of now and the future.. and it's with you."

"Logan.. I've been through a lot these past few weeks, with Magneto .. you .. please .. I just can't.. I can't keep lying to Scott.. and hurting him. We've been together for so long.. I don't want to hurt him anymore."

(End Flashback)

"It's not my fault you couldn't be honest with Scott. I didn't get anywhere in Canada, but one thing I know for sure now is that it doesn't matter where I came from because being with you… that's all I need.. and that hasn't changed."

"Things have changed Logan… whatever feelings I have for you .. or what we did .. all that doesn't matter anymore. I'm still marrying Scott."

"Jean." Logan tried interrupting.

"We're going to start a family together Logan.. he's going to be the father of my children.. will be the father of my children." Jean said with water in her eyes.

"…"

"I'm pregnant Logan." Logan was shocked. He didn't know what to say. "We just did routine physicals with Hank .. and he thought my blood samples were a little off.. so he ran a few more tests and sure enough I'm pregnant." Jean wiped her eyes and remained in a more composed posture. "A month pregnant.. I don't even feel any symptoms, but I reran the tests again myself .. so Logan please.. I just finished the testing yesterday.. I'm going to tell Scott tonight .. we're friends Logan… I'm sorry." Jean walked out the room. Logan just stood there, unsure of everything now.

"On our only night off.. you order me my favorite dish at my favorite restaurant.. okay I'm worried now. What's wrong?"

"What're you talking about?"

"Jean please."

"Well to be fair Scott, we're only at Paris' Pizza. I mean we're both swamped with work . ..we needed food why not just go to Downtown Westchester .. plenty of parking .. much cheaper too."

Scott put down his slice of his favorite "Supreme Pizza."

"Now that's something I would say. At this point, you would drop not so subtle hints about going to some fancy Italian or Spanish restaurant 30 miles away. Spill it Grey."

"Alright fine.. not here." Jean got up and Scott followed her outside. She took his hand as he led her across the street to a nearby park. They sat on a bench, which over looked the quaint main street of downtown Westchester.

"So?" Scott asked curiously. Now that Logan was back, he hoped it wasn't about him. Scott triedhis best the whole day not to let Logan's return bother him, although it did greatly.

"Okay first, I know for a long time now we've been hung up on when to actually set a date. I know it's my fault."

"To be fair, it's our fault. But after everything that's happened, why not.. let's just choose a date.. people will work around it. Maybe 7-8 months from now. I'm sure that's plenty of time for everything to come together."

"No, definitely not 7 and definitely not 8. I'm thinking much sooner."

"6?"

"How does 4 to 6 weeks from sound?" Scott gave that "what!?" expression on his face. "I'm.. I'm completely down for whatever you want.. I just thought you wanted more time to plan.. I mean we haven't even decided on a venue."

"Well.. I did three things for the wedding.. I got my bridesmaids, maid of honor.. and my dress?"

"Your dress? Really?"

"Yes it belonged to my mother.. beautiful dress. Ofcourse it's a little dated but my mother took it to a seamstress and revamped it and it looks stunning.. I tried it on yesterday and I can't imagine wearing anything else… and I know the bump starts really showing in the 3rd and 4th month so we really need to kick it into high gear if I'm gong to fir in that dress."

"Bump?.. what? .. are . are you?" Scott asked, his voice dry. Jean can only smile. "Scott… in 8 months .. we're going to be parents."

Scott was speechless and was overcome with so many emotions. He got up and gave Jean a big hug. She wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his arms. She started tearing as she can feel Scott's happiness. She told herself she made the right decision, but she couldn't help but think of Logan. And Scott felt that as well.

To Be Continued . . .

Author's Note: No, I have not forgotten about my other stories. "Start of Summer" will actually wrap up pretty soon. I've been so busy that I needed to reread parts to make sure I don't contradict myself. "Rebirth" however, is actually half complete. I'm coming up the middle, where I'm going to be introducing a lot of new stuff. That one I'm putting off until I find the proper time to devout to it. This story was inspired by a recent episode of GG. For those who don't know, it'll be explained with in the next few chapters. This is not as heavy as my other stories, so this one will pretty much wrap up shortly.
