The Return of the Phoenix
The next morning, Jean sat at the kitchen table enjoying a hot cup of coffee. She was alone in the massive kitchen. Scott wlked in to the kichen and noticed Jean alone. He sat down across from her.
"Morning," Scottgreeted.
"Good morning," Jean replied after taking a sip of her coffee.
"So," Scott fidgeted in his seat.
"What do you want to talk to me about Scott?" Jean asked.
"What do you want to do about us?" Scott asked.
Jean chuckled. He was never one for small talk.
"What do you want Scott?" Jean asked after she stopped laughing.
"I want Emma," Scott answered.
"Good because I don't want you anymore," Jean responded.
Scott was stunned at her bluntness.
"I'll have a lawyer draw up divorce papers," Jean got up and washed her empty mug.
"Goodbye Scott," Jean spoke before leaving him alone in the kitchen.
Jean walked up in the stairs. She was lost in her own thoughts she didn't notice someone coming down the stairs. She walked right in to them.
"Sorry," Jean mumbled.
"It's alright darlin'," Logan grabbed her arms to help her balance herself.
"Hi Logan," Jean blushed.
"Morning Red," Logan greeted back.
They stood they for a moment, gazing at each other's eyes. His blue eyes locked on with her green ones, searching for answers.
"Mom," Rachel broke the moment as she came to the foot of the stairs.
"Morning sweetie," Jean broke the gaze with Logan to look at her daughter.
"I'm not interrupting anything am I?" Rachel asked.
"No!" Logan and Jean said in union.
Rachel smirked. She knew she did. It's not like she never noticed they way those two looked at one knew Logan was deeply in love with her mother. And she knew her mother had strong feelings toward Logan as well.
"Are you hungry Mom?" Rachel broke her train of thought.
"No. But I'm going to take a shpwer and then go in to town to run some errands. Did you want to come with me to town?" Jean asked.
"Sure. Let me know when you're ready to go," Rachel turned around and went back the way she came.
"So," Jean turned her attention back to Logan.
"I better let you go. We can always talk later Red," Logan continued his way down the stairs.
Jean watched him go down the stairs until he was out of sight. She continued up the stairs to the guest room that was hers. She noticed Emma outside her door.
"What do you want Emma?" Jean asked, anoyed by the blond's presence.
"Stay away from Scott," Emma warned.
Jean laughed. She opened the door to her room and slammed it in Emma's face. She did not want to have to deal with her so early in the morning. Jean got in the shower. She changed in to some blue jeans and a t-shirt. She still couldn't shake off this bad feeling she had all morning. She heard a knock on her door.
"Ready?" Rachel asked.
"Yep," Jean closed the door behind her and the two red heads were off.
