Disclaimer: Check the 1st chapter

Author's Note: Thanks to my reviewers, sciencefictionsquirrel, Dark Pheonix Rising, Liljean15690, lampost, Phantom Creedy Lover, and AliasSpyCrazy. I'm going for 7 reviews this chapter. Until I get 7 I won't update again. I'm bribing, I know, but oh well. I really need a reason to upload these chapters.

"Well, I did give you the cure, but according to the government it only works for a short amount of time. But, you should have control over the Pheonix, because they said Level 5 mutants and over, it would still hold their powers down to where you can control it. So, it seems as if, you'll have all your power, but you'll still have control over the Pheonix," Logan explained to her.

"Oh, wow. That's...that's great Logan!" Jean exclaimed, a huge smile on her face. She jumped up from her bed and grabbed him in a tight squeeze. It seemed as if she was holding on for dear life. Logan was laughing cheerfully.

"Well, as much as we have faith that that's what happened, we still have to watch to make sure you have control over your power, so someone is supposed to stay with you at all times. Storm told me to have you decide who and to tell her as soon as you knew. Plus, I haven't even told anybody you woke up yet," Logan said standing.

"Wait," Jean said grabbing his hand before he got out of her reach.

"Yeah?" Logan asked turning back to her and twisting his hand tighter into her's subconciously.

"I know who I want to stay with me," she said gazing down at her hand in his. She squeezed it and worked up the cournage to look back up at him.

"Ok, I'll tell Storm and have her send them up. Who were you wanting?" Logan asked.

"Well, I was actually wondering if you would stay here with me?" she shyly looked uo into his eyes. The look on his face scared her, he looked shocked and confused. "I mean, if you don't wanna you don't have to, but I feel really comfortable around you, and you're the only person that really understands what I'm going through, and I know that it might be a little weird to you, but I want to try to do something I've wanted to do for a while, and I thought maybe if we stayed together for a while then we could start a relationship, you know more than friends, because, Logan, I think I love you," she rambled on. She suddenly registered what she had said and got the courage to look up into his eyes again, even if she was really surprised with herself.

The look she found on his gruff, rough looking, but beautiful face elated her. It was surprised, shocked, and confused still, but he had a smile too big for his face plastered across it. She realized that the smile he wore looked so out of place, then she thought about how she noticed that the only time he smiled was when she said something he thought was funny or in fact, when she said anything at all.

She smiled back up at him and chuckled. She reached up and pulled him down to where she was seated on the bed. They hugged tightly and she felt him pull away slightly. He looked directly into her emerald green eyes, his hazel ones poured into her's and he leaned forward placing a butterfly kiss on her temple, another on her cheek, and another on her full pink lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. The both of them literally, as cliche as it sounds, saw sparks. It was a dream come true for both of the X-Men. When he pulled away from the passionate kiss they both smiled.

"I'm going to go tell Storm you're awake, okay?" he asked. Just because he felt as if she might want to come with him.

"Uhm, Logan? Do you care if I come with you? I don't really want to stay here by myself. Not yet," she answered a look of fear but trust in her eyes.

"Course you can, Red. You wanna take a shower first or just get dressed?" he asked smiling at her dreamily, which wasn't like him at all.

"Logan, my dear, are you implying that I smell?" Jean laughed.

"What? No! Not at all! I was just wandering if you wanted to clean up some?" Logan said, flustered.

"Logan, baby, I was joking. But, I would like to clean up," she said. A sly smile growing on her face.

"What?" he asked. The look on her face foreign to him.

"Wanna help?" she asked. His face registered what she meant a second after she said it. He nodded and chuckled. He leaned down and placed one arm under her knees and one at the small of her back. She squealed and wrapped her arms around his neck. They then headed to the bathroom...

A Few Hours Later

"Oh, 'Ro? Guess who I've got with me?" Logan said. He pulled Jean along by tugging at her hand. He giggled behind her hand.

"I've got...Jean!" he hollered as soon as he saw the white-haired woman.

"Ohmygodd!" she yipped and ran toward her long time best friend. "I can't believe you woke up! It was so soon! I missed you so much! You don't know how much of a butt Logan is when you're not around!" she shreiked. Her opposites laughed on one part and growled and glared on the other.

The two women embraced and gave each other kisses on the cheek. Logan saw Ororo get a weird look on her face and whisper something into her ear. She shuffled over to the mirror and her eyes widened. "What?" Logan asked innocently.

"I don't even want to know how long you've been awake to get that Jean," the other woman said, trying but failing to stiffle the laughs she was holding behind her hand. "Excuse me for a second," she said. The couple heard hollering laughs from behind the door of the bathroom adjacent to the room they were in.

"Uh, did I do that?" Logan asked the obvious question and chuckled as he looked at the hickey he had placed right on top of her corroted arterie. Grabbing her and wrapping his arms around her waist, they both laughed and looked around at their friend when she re-entered the room. They looked at each other silently knowing what each other wanted to ask the other woman.

"Uh, 'Ro? We were sort of wondering if you, uhm, if you approved of us having a relationship?" Jean asked her closest friend other than the man, of course, that was holding her.

"Of course I do! You guys are too cute! Besides, even if I didn't what would the two of you care? You're in love," she teased and ducked as Jean telekinetically threw a ball of paper towels at her head. She used her powers to chase her friend until she finally gave up and covered her head with her arms while standing in one spot. Jean got her with the towels right in the spot of her that head she couldn't cover up. The three laughed and Storm grabbed a towel, throwing it at her friends. Logan grabbed Jean up and he ran towards the TV room. As the three X-Men chased each other into the room, Logan was still carrying Jean, but, by shifting, she was now straddling his lower back and had her arms wrapped around his neck.

Logan pushed the door open and the couple ran through. He tried closing the door on Storm, but she pushed a gust of wind at the door keeping it open. All three spotted the five eldest teenagers in the school watching some kind of TV teenage drama. Collosus, Ice Man, Rogue (who hadn't gotten her powers back unless she wanted to use them and liked to be called Marie), Kitty, and Jubilee all looked up at the adults in wondering of the two holding to each other.

Marie's heart constricted. She felt as if she couldn't breath. She loved Bobby, she knew she did, but she still had strong feelings for the man that was clearly loving the woman he was holding. Her eyes clouded over with tears and she had to look over at the TV to get them to clear away. She knew she had to talk to someone about this, but she couldn't tell Logan, obviously. Bobby would be an even worse choice. She couldn't talk to Jean because, obviously, she was dating Logan, and they loved each other. Kitty and Jubilee would just make fun of her. Collosus was a friend, but not a close one and probably wouldn't understand. She guessed she could talk to Ororo Munroe, but it would be hard.

Logan noticed the weird looks the teenagers were giving him and Jean and that Marie had turned to where she wasn't facing him, almost as if she was mad. He gave him self a mental note to talk to Jean later about what she thought it could be. He then looked at the woman he loved still clinging to his back and neck and whispered that he was gonna put her down, she nodded and he did so.

"Uhm, sorry. We didn't know you all were in here. We'll head out, now," Jean said smiling at the teenagers. They all looked on in bewilderment. Partly because they had no idea what and when everything had happened with Dr Jean Grey and partly because they had no idea what the sudden relationship between two of the most respected people any of them knew consisted of.

As the adults headed out Jean decided to have a talk with Logan about how to tell everyone about what had happened and how she was now that she was back in her Jean form instead of Pheonix. She also wanted to tell him about her decision on her Mutant name. But, that would have to wait. They now said goodbye to their friend and headed out to get some food for dinner.

Note: Ok, I know that the ending isn't very good because I had no idea how to end it. This chapter was sort of to adress the beginning of the relationship. Marie/Rogue's jealousy, and the friendship and acceptance of Storm. You know what do do, just hit that little button down there that says Review! RR please!
