Author Note: This is another story from my old account, this is the first of a series of one shots I have written. Please Review and let me know what you think.

He was going to be a father again,

He could hardly believe even the thought

When he saw his new child,

His heart almost stopped,

His little girl was home.

It was a few days after Scott and Jean's daughter was born, a few days that seemed to fly by. Her name was Jade Holly Summers and she was the newest addition to their family. The baby lay in the crib, sound asleep, her mother across the hall, doing the same, resting. Scott however was in the room with his daughter watching her. "Nothing will happen to you" he told her, rubbing his finger on her small hand. "I won't let anyone hurt you" The X-men leader declared.

She grew and grew,

And grew and grew,

Her looks were of an Angel,

Her mouth was of another,

The innocence of the child remained,

Her father always protected her.

The park was filled with kids all around, Jade looked up at her father and smiled brightly, her green eyes shining with excitement. "Daddy can I go play...please?" The five-year-old stuck her bottom lip out to add some type of affect. Scott laughed at the look and nodded.

"Five minutes Jade your mother wants you home in time for dinner" He told her and watched the little red head run off towards the jungle gym. Scott went and sat down on one of the benches not too far from his daughter.

"Daddy look!" She yelled hanging upside down giving him a thumbs up (which ended up being thumbs down), and started laughing.

"Be careful Jade" He told her and watched as she grabbed the bar and let her feet drop before hanging there right side up.

"Uh oh Daddy" she said swinging her feet a bit back and forth. Scott laughed at the sight and stood up walking over to her, lifting her to the ground. "Daddy...can I go swing and go on slide?"

"Not for to long, go on" he told her as she ran off again. His eyes watched as she climbed up the stairs and went to the slide where a group of kids were.

"Please let me go down" Jade asked them and tried to go passed. One of the other girls stepped up and pushed her away. Behind his ruby glasses his eyes narrowed as they started to gang up on her, he couldn't hear what they were saying but knew that it wasn't a very good situation. "Let me go down!" Jade screamed, catching the attention of all the other kids and the parents in the area. Scott rushed over.

"Come one Jade, we'll come back later"

"You just watch I'll be back and you'll be sorry" She told them.

"Jade..." He held his arms out and she went to him wrapping her own around his neck. He turned and walked away, Jade stuck her tongue out at the kids.

The young girl soon came to be a young adult,

Always off by herself,

Causing a bit of trouble time and time again,

Her father was always there though,

To protect his baby girl,

"Daddy please let me go to the dance, I promise I have control over my powers and nothing will happen" Jade told Scott as she followed him around the mansion.

"No, its to dangerous, if your powers go out of control you and others could be put in danger"

"Daddy they won't!" She yelled, "Why don't you really want me to go, why! I've been gaining control and I'm ok now nothing bad will happen, the other girls will be there, why can they go and not me?"

"The answer is no Jade and I won't change it" Scott said sternly.

"Oohhh!" she yelled and stomped off out of the room. Scott winced a bit as he heard the door slam as hard as possible and then a loud frustrated scream was heard.

"Looks like you really did it this time Scott" Jean told him. "But I think you were right in doing this, her powers are not fully under control just yet"

Later that night after a lot of the people in the mansion were asleep, Jade was wide awake and crawling out the window. The dance was being held for two more hours and she could still make it. As soon as she reached the ground she went to take off, but was stopped. "Where ya think yer goin?" Logan asked

"None of your business" She snapPED.

"It is when you aint supposed to leave kid, get back inside"

"This really SUCKS!" she screamed and stomped towards the door only to run into Scott. She glared at him "Why are YOU up"

"I was going to take you to the dance" He tells her, "But if you dont want to go.." Jades face lit up.

"Are you serious Daddy!" She asked, and recieved a nod. She hugged him tightly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She exclaimed.

"We better hurry or you'll miss it"

And then the years passed once more,

He walked down the aisle with his daughter,

One of the last moment that he would be hers,

He would give her away,

To another man,

Who would now protect her,

Jade stood at the end of the aisle in a long white dress .She was on the arm of her father and smiled at him, he could only smile back. As the music started they made their way towards her future husband. 'Daddy?' she asked him telepathically.

He turned toward her a little more. 'Yes Jade' She smiled

'Are you alright, I mean'

'Jade, I'm fine'

'Are you crying?'

'No..'

'It's ok if you are you know'

'Jade'

'Yes Daddy?'

'I love you' He told her silently.

'I love you too Daddy'

They reached the end, both smiling, trying not to laugh for a moment. Scott lifted her veil and kissed her cheek. "You know I'm always here for you" he said to her before giving her to the man waiting.
