Chapter Three: The Return
Do I still need to explain something about what's gonna happen down there? ;-}
Ariana- Glad you liked the last one. I'm trying to keep my chapters both, funny and suspenseful at the same time. Hope y'all like it and one more thing, I just love baby Groot lol.
Emily- Awww I'm glad you loved the chapter. You're gonna see more of Mr. Victor Sabertooth Creed's big ol' softy side in upcoming updates.
Guest- No, the killer is not the character that is in my profile pic but his storyline's definitely connected to the big scary guy with Logan like claws you are all seeing in the picture. I'm sure all the die-hard X-comic fans like me have recognized him by now but for all those who don't know him, you guys'll have to wait a little more because that's what the suspense's all about right? ;-}
Last but not the least, there's an Italian to English translation in bolds in the last segment and if I translated something wrong in Italian, please sue Google Translate.

The dense tension in the air tickled Aks's nostrils and forced her eyes open. Her Mate was preoccupied with something and she needed to know it. She turned over and adjusted the pillow between her legs as the doctor's advised her before possessively flopping her half-sleepy head onto his upper arm. Victor smirked and wrapped an possessive arm around his Mate.
"What do you think...we should go?" Creed asked, caressing the bare flesh of her arm with the gentlest touches of his claws tips. Aks was still a rookie when it came to smelling emotions and body languages. That's why, she couldn't catch the hidden agitation in James's words like him. The trip wasn't just about the fucking marriage. There was some other and serious reason behind it.
She sighed. "Well...It's not like Jean's a damn good friend or something, but professor and others really want us to be there. Besides, it's just one week's thing right? Then we'll come back home."
Victor just sighed in response. Aks bit her half lower lip. She placed her hand on his naked chest and drew some lazy patterns on the furry surface. "But if you think it's not good for the baby, we won't go."
he looked down at her with a little smirk.
"Get back to sleep, we'll talk about this in the morning because ya always look like hell when ya don't get enough sleep."
she gave a mock pout and buried her face into Victor's chest, looking for comfort and warmth that made her sleep so peacefully every night. Victor pulled the blanket up to their shoulders and sent a slow slumberous purr into her ear that immediately calmed her senses down and sent her into a serene sleep, something Creed's often done these days since Aks started gaining these new feral traits.
At first Victor was quite shocked and worried about these sudden and powerful changes in his human Mate's body but when Hank explained their unborn Cub's high level mutancy to them and also said that the Cub was sharing its feral abilities with its mother to prepare her for a successful delivery, Victor prepared himself to adjust with her ferity thing as well as her mood swings.
Feral or not, his Aks was already precious enough to be taken care of but deep down, Victor and 'Tooth, both were pleased with this transformation. It connected the trio to their Cub on a whole new level. He didn't know if these changes'd stay after the pregnancy or not but honestly, it was good to have a 'Feral Mate' for a few months.

Aks rolled and lazily threw her arm on Victor's side to grab a feel of his warm body but only found the cold and empty sheet. She ran her half lidded eyes around. He wasn't in the room. No sound from bathroom, either. The clock showed 6:45 on the wall. She narrowed her half covered irises.
Where's he gone so early?
She slowly slipped outta the blanket and sat up on the edge of the bed. She focused on the movements going on outside. A sharp sound of picking up and dumping down the heavy objects echoing in the air again and again. She cocked a brow.
What the hell is going on outside?
She slipped into a robe and sauntered out of room. As she came out, the first thing she saw was Logan's yawning face who also rushed out of his room after hearing the same sound. After a mutual 'good morning' nod, they turned their attention to the source of now ceased noise that was Victor, nursing a beer on the couch with two big trolly luggage bags on either side of him.
"Is that what I'm thinking that is?" Aks asked with folded arms and a little knowing smirk.
"I said I'd tell my decision in the morning. I've decided." he shrugged. "we're goin'."
A couple of wide grins spread on the lips of two other ferals.
"Awesome. I'm just gonna call Xavier and-"
"Hold it right there, Jimmy boy." Victor shot up and paced over to his Mate and wrapped an arm around her. "Lemme tell ya somethin' already, I'm just doin' it for my Mate's happiness but I'm NOT playin' with my Cub's health in the process. I don't want ANY kinda trouble or drama around my Mate and Cub from Wheels or your people in the freak house or...there'll be hell to pay." the low snarl had a clear warning for the smaller man and 'his people'.
The lower feral's jaw clenched at the growling words but he still controlled his anger and nodded before hurrying back to his room to look for his phone.
"Soooo," Aks shifted her eyes back to her Mate with a mischievous glint in 'em. "Ready to go back to X-holes?"
" Yeah. But only for you." His hand gripped her round ass with the line. The giggling blush took over her face again, fighting that leering grin of Creed.
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
"Not a fan of flights?" smirking, Aks asked Logan whose head was spinning due to the flight sickness. On the other hand, Aks was also fighting her morning sickness but thanks to her feral 'superpowers', her breakfast was still in her stomach.
"You guys don't deserve to be on a plane." Victor smirked from under the magazine his face was hidden behind for a little nap that was destroyed by the disturbed scents of other two ferals.
"Shut up, Creed." Logan groaned and leaned back. Aks also tossed her head back and closed her eyes for a while.
"Where the hell did it go?" Aks's eyes snapped open at Logan's shocked question. His narrowed eyes were stuck at the joint of her shoulder and neck. Something he couldn't see due to that turtleneck sweater yesterday.
"It healed." she smiled. "With the start of the seventh week of pregnancy, when the healing factor started and it just didn't make the mark go away." she had that mysterious smile before she pulled her left hand's sleeve up.
The big oval-shaped burn mark was gone like it was never there.
"Whoa, furball didn't tell me THAT!" Logan plopped back into his chair with a wide surprised grin. "So basically, you're totally 'unclaimed' nowadays." Logan smirked.
"Don't even think about that, runt!" Victor growled out through his locked jaw against the magazine.
Aks chuckled. "He's right. He's keeping 'the biting ceremony' for after the delivery and for now, he's got some other kinda claim on me." she wriggled her left hand's fingers in his face, showing off the gorgeous red ruby on the platinum.
"Oh yeah, Jubilee showed me that on that book face of hers." he blurted out with a soft twirl of eyes.
"You mean Facebook, right?" she chuckled again.
"Yeah." he tried to sound unaffected. "So, when are you guys tyin' the damn knot?"
"Well Victor's ready whenever I am but for now, i just wanna focus on our baby." she gave a brief smile. "And why are you bein' so formal about the date or other stuff? You're gonna be his goddamn best man, Mister." she winked.
Logan nodded with a simper and quickly looked away. In spite of knowing how deep Aks's feelings for Victor were, he still wanted her to have second thoughts about their relationship. He could see how much Creed was trying to change himself for her and his 'Cub' but still, it was all just...'temporary' in Logan's eyes. Maybe because he's seen his brother's savage urges for violence and bloodshed so closely for the past so many decades and could not let Aks and her child regret her decision in the future.
"We're ready to land, people." the pilot informed the trio from the cockpit. Victor tossed the magazine aside and straightened up.
The three ferals smirked to each other.
"Finally." Aks grinned as she unfastened her seat belt.

"Essi sono tornati a Xavier, Maestro."- They have stepped on Xavier's ground, Master.; a gravelly voice wrapped in a black cloak informed the dark silhouette sitting on a glimmering throne in a dimly lit room.
"Ben fatto."- Well done.; the dark figure shot up from the throne with a slight flash of his sharp canines and glowing white eyes in the dark.
"È giunto il momento. Andare, preparare tutti."- The time has come. Go, prepare them all.
