Hey Guys! So I get that I'm being a little sporadic when it comes to posting, but I'm trying to figure out what people actually like from my stories, so I'm posting a bunch that have been sitting around for a while. If all goes well this is meant to be a prequel of sorts to a longer story that I have almost entirely finished. This is going to be a series of one shots following Scott(Cyclops) and Jean Grey's daughter. It has very little in the way of plot, but its just meant to show he growing up and her relationships to the people around her.
1971
Scott sat on the floor, running his fingers through his hair. He couldn't believe that this was happen. He knew, of course, that sometimes it did happen, but he had never imagined that it would happen to him and Jean.
He sighed. He hadn't been very kind when she had told him. At first, he had thought that she was joking. When he had realized that she wasn't, he couldn't speak. He didn't want to either, for fear that he would say something awful. When he finally did say something, it was only a chocked out "Um.. I need to.. Wow.." and he had stumbled from her bedroom. A place he wasn't supposed to be in the first place, and if he had followed that rule, then they wouldn't be in this situation. He felt bad about his abrupt departure, but he still didn't know what he was supposed to say or do next time he saw Jean. How was he supposed to react to this? They were fifteen. If they were older he imagined that he might be happy, but they were still just kids themselves. They weren't ready for this.
He heard footsteps coming from down the hall, and stood up quickly, glad that his glasses covered enough of his face that no one besides an empath would be able to tell what he was he rose he recognized his elder brothers approaching figure. He wasn't sure that he wanted to see Alex just then. Usually he would go to Alex about any girl trouble, but he was pretty sure that Alex hadn't been in this situation before.
"What's up, Boy Scout?" His brother asked him, obviously having no idea what was really going on.
Scott sincerely meant to respond with the word: 'Nothing', but what actually came out was;
"Jeans pregnant." He bit his tongue sharply as his brothers eyebrows shot into the air.
"Um, wow, what?" Alex demanded. Then he shook his head. "Not on." Scott was silent as his brother lead him to his bedroom. No one spoke until Alex shut his bedroom door tightly behind them.
"Now tell me what's going on, Scotty."
Scott exhaled heavily.
"We didn't think this was going to happen." he burst out, " I mean obviously we knew that it was a possibility, but we were careful. I mean, I'm not even old enough to drive, there's no way I was looking for my girlfriend to get pregnant. I don't understand how this happened, I mean, I know, but I'm fifteen Alex." He stared at his brother, tears slipping out from under his glasses. "Alex what do I do?"
His brother frowned at him, and exhaled heavily.
"Scott, this stuff happens, no matter what kind of precautions you take. You're a smart kid, you knew the risks of having sex before you did it. Right now you have to make a choice. You can either leave Jean to deal with this on her own, or you can support her through this. It takes two man."
Scott looked at the ground. They both knew that he wouldn't just leave Jean. Alex continued.
"Now I'm assuming that you had a little freak out when she told you and you did a runner. Not cool. I highly recommend going back to her room and actually talking this out."
Scott nodded at his brother.
Somehow Alex always knew what the right thing to do was.
