"Can I open eyes now," Ororo asked Wolverine as he guided her to the dining room. Jean had finally given her the A-ok that she was fine to leave the med lab.
"Not yet, Beautiful," he said with one hand on her shoulder while the other remained around her waist.
In the dining room, everyone was getting ready to take their places for Ororo's surprise birthday party.
"Okay everybody single file. Now the second Ro and Logan come in everyone just yell surprise as loud as you can," Jean said.
"Um, is it really appropriate to yell surprise to a woman who was a victim in a sneak attack that nearly killed her," Emma pointed out.
"Fine, everybody to say surprise in a really quiet whisper," Jean said.
"Now," Logan said for Ororo to open her eyes which she did.
"Surprise," everybody whispered in a hushed tone.
Ororo gasped and smiled, "Thank you all." She kneeled down to embrace her father, who kissed her cheek, "Happy late Birthday." He still couldn't believe he almost lost her. Logan looked at the scene in awe as a daughter hugged her father. It made him wonder if someday he'd have a moment like that. Logan felt a presence behind him, "What do you want fur ball?"
"I just thought I'd say thank God you were there to save her. If it had been me I would have been too late," he said. The two men had finally had tension-free conversation to Rogue it was almost shocking.
"Wow," Kitty commented, "I never thought I'd see those two getting along." Jubilee silently agreed and looked over to Emma who was currently talking to Jean.
"So have you told him yet?" Emma asked the red head. Jean looked over her shoulder at her husband who was talking to the Professor. The morning after Ororo woke up she decided that she should take a pregnancy test considering that her and Scott were still in that newly wed phase.
'No,' Jean told the very pregnant blonde telepathically.
'Why?' she asked.
'Because I want to make sure first, I mean yeah I did a home pregnancy, but I want to be properly examined,' she stated before taking a sip from cup.
'You're a doctor can't you examine yourself?' Emma smirked.
'Maybe so, but just in case I want a second opinion,' Jean said.
'So what you're going to have Hank examine you,' Emma jokingly said. But then realized her friend was serious. 'Well that's not so bad. After all he does have a history in medicine. Plus examining you will probably be the closest way Hank can have an action,' Emma said suggestively.
'I wouldn't say that. Hank and Megan seem to have been growing closer,' Jean remarked taking a glance at the blue creature laughing at something the Pixie mutant was saying.
'Oh, there's nothing there believe me'- Emma groaned clutching her round belly. Jean allowed the blonde to lean on her as she found her a chair to rest on, 'Are you alright?'
"The baby's kicking that's all," Emma said. 'Alex, honey, can you please get me a glass of water and a plate with cake,' she asked her husband telepathically. Jean smiled at the scene and wondered if she was indeed with child.
Cher Lloyd's Want U Back started to play and Jubilee asked Bobby to dance with her. Bobby being a nice guy agreed, but the Vietnamese girl couldn't help but observe him checking out Kitty. "Why don't you ask her to dance?" Jubilee asked.
"I don't think she'd"- pausing before he revealed too much. "What are talking about? Who?" he asked with a confused expression.
"Kitty," she grinned, "You keep staring at her."
The thirteen year old had left him speechless.
"I think she'd love to dance with you," she said pulling away from him and turning to call Kitty over. Bobby literally froze when the brunette came closer.
"Bobby asked me to ask you if you would like to dance with him," Jubilee said in a cheerful tone.
Kitty smiled and took Bobby's hand and the two began to dance.
"How are ya feeling, Beautiful?' Logan asked as he leaned over on the wall that the weather goddess's back was pressed against the wall.
"Incredible thanks to you," she said with a soft smile.
Scott handed his wife a piece of cake and then he caught a glimpse of sister and Wolverine. The X-men leader's stance became hard. His wife quickly noticed and followed her husband's gaze. A smile molded onto her lips and she placed her light tan hand on him as if saying 'let them be.' She knew Scott would be protective of his sister.
"So do you want me to give you your present now or later, Beautiful," he asked.
Ororo thought about it for a moment, "Later," she said her mocha skinned forehead touching his tan white forehead. The two shared a small kiss, which caught Hank's attention. The blue creature looked at the woman he once loved in the arms of another man, but the strange thing was that he felt no hatred toward the man; but he did feel respect for him.
Later that evening the African beauty stood in front of her mirror holding up a variety of clothes to her body observing which one looked better. She came to the conclusion that floral cream top and a pair of fitted jean looked the best. She spun around looking in the mirror carefully making sure she looked okay. 'Logan,' she thought. She hadn't even known this man very long and she could feel herself falling for him. It had taken Forge a long time to get close to her without her feeling awkward, but Logan wasn't like Forge at all. He was different. When Forge would kiss her, he would just go all the way and she could never breathe when she wanted to when they kissed. But with Logan he would look into her eyes and see when she was ready, and they would breathe together, like they were both just one breath. Not to mention, but in Ororo's opinion Logan was a far more better kisser than Forge.
A knock on her door pulled the snow haired beauty back to reality. She quickly opened the door to find Jean.
"Wow, look at you," the red head commented on her friend's outfit. "Where are you going?"
"I don't know," Ororo confessed, "It's another surprise. Logan's gift to me is a night out."
"Well, that's sweet of him," Jean said with an eager grin on her face, "You two seem to be getting along nice."
"He is and we are," the weather goddess replied.
"Ro, there's something I need to tell you," Jean said with a serious tone. Ororo gave her a nod to let her know that she was there for the red head. "I think I might be pregnant."
Ororo gasped both of her hands covered her mouth and then her hands moved away to reveal a smile on her face, "Jean, do you really think so?"
"I took a home pregnancy test, but I'm going to get a doctor's opinion from Hank. I haven't told Scott yet, because I want to make sure," Jean said with her hand on her small belly. Ororo pulled her into a hug, "I'm so happy for you."
"I'm so happy for you too," Jean said.
