Chapter 11
Dinner in hell, I mean the Grey's
The car ride to Anna-Dale on the Hudson was a long and quiet ride. Scott was still upset that Jean had tricked him into getting him to go to her parents, and soon to be his parents, house. Jean was still furious because Scott had finally started comparing their problems to their enemies.
"Scott this isn't going to be as hard and miserable as you think it is," Jean said finally breaking the silence.
"Jean, what kind of person tells their husband that they're going to go to their inlaws, that they're pregnant, and Storm, the Professor, and Logan already know!" Scott said agitated.
"Well if you would listen to me instead of having a one track mind all the time! There more to life than just sex you know!" she yelled at him angrily. The car was silent for the rest of the ride.
At the In Laws
"No that is not my sisters car, she wouldn't dare invite my sister and me at the same time. Oh I absolutely hate my sister. I can't believe my mother!" Jean whispered in spite.
"You know you're really cute when you're angry," Scott said. "They probably don't know we're hear yet. We can just turn back now, call them up say you're sick, and then hope to have a quiet even without any interruptions."
"No way! My mother brought my sister into this! There's no way I'm letting her play up the favorite child without a fight!" Jean said and rang the doorbell.
"Why couldn't it be Jean's parents on that plane that day instead of mine. Wait no maybe Sara would have powers instead. Bad image. Bade image," Scott thought to himself.
"Heard that," Jean sent over their link.
"Damn."
"Jean how wonderful to see you," Sara greeted her with an obviously forced smile and a hug. "Steve, how are you."
"It's Scott Sara," Jean said stepping inside.
"Just fine. You look lovely like always," Scott said.
"Thank you," she said in an inhumanly sweet voice.
"Jean," said her fathers kind and warm voice, "You're just in time for dinner."
"Hi daddy," she said hugging her dad. To be honest Jean didn't like anyone in her family that much, but if she had to choose, she would definitely choose her father over her mother and sister.
"Scott," he said shaking his hand heartedly.
"Mr. Grey," Scott said.
"Oh Jean you're finally here," her mother said. "Now we can finally eat."
"Aunt Phyllis, Uncle Roy, Cousin Roger? Mom how many people did you invite?" Jean asked.
"Oh just a few sweet heart," Her mom said.
"Mom the whole entire family is not a few!" Jean said temper rising when she entered the dining room.
"Oh don't over exaggerate, Jean! How many times do we get the whole family together for one nice meal?" her mother asked her.
"Seven," Jean said. "And there isn't a time where nothing gets broken or someone drop kicks someone into next week."
"Maybe this wont be so bad after all," Scott thought to himself.
"I heard that and yes it will!" Jean sent back to him.
"You two sit down while I go bring in the food," Mrs. Grey said.
"Don't be silly mom. I'll do it. I can do it so much faster. Wait maybe you don't want me to do it because you still haven't told everyone of what I am. Are you that ashamed to have a mutant in the family?" she whispered to her mother grinning. She knew she hit a cord.
"Be quiet Jean and sit down," her mother said dangerously.
"Come on Scott. The sooner we start this the sooner it's over," she said pulling him by the collar.
Dinner was an interesting affair. Scott and Jean spent most of the time making fun of Sara with her favorite cousin Brian. Brain was the same age as Jean and also hated Jean's sister. Everything was fine until some people started drinking to much wine.
"Well I'll go clear the table and bring in dessert," Mrs. Grey said playing the role of the perfect host. Once everyone was served and through their first serving Sara stood up.
"Everyone I have an announcement to make," she said smiling.
"Oh no, she is not steeling the spot light from me again!" Jean said.
"Jean don't do anything stupid," Scott said to himself.
"I heard that!" she yelled in his head.
"I need to stop thinking," he thought again.
"Mark and I are getting married," she said holding out her hand so that everyone could admire her oversized ring.
"Well big sister good for you but you're not the only one who has a bit of good news to share," Jean said standing up.
"This is going to end badly isn't it," Scott said to Brian.
"You have no idea," Brian answered him.
"Well everybody, Sara's news is certainty unexpected," she said forcing a smile down Sara's way. "Scott and I are getting married, and we're having a baby." Jean was having the best time of her life. She only wished that she had a camera to capture the look on Elaine Grey's face. The look of pure horror on her face was the greatest gift her mother could ever give Jean.
"Well that is certainly unexpected news," Mrs. Grey said.
"Congratulations," Brian said trying to break the tension. He hugged Jean and shook Scott's hand.
"Well why don't I clean up and then we can go sit in the great room and chat," she said.
"No wait mom I'll do it after all can do it in a fraction of the time," Jean repeated.
"Don't be silly Jean. I'll do it. It's been so long since you've been with your family since you're always at school," her mother said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, I am always at school, with my real family. You see everybody, mommy dearest hasn't been telling everybody the whole truth. Yes, I am going to an extraordinary school with exemplary teachers, and a very very different curriculum. No, it's not a school for kids with perfect GPA's. It's a school for people with special gifts. I go to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in West Chester, NY. I am now a teacher there and so is Scott. And no we didn't' have to go through college to teach because you don't have to to teach at this school. All you have to do is complete you high school education, and show control over gifts. If you haven't figured it out yet. I am a mutant at Xavier's and I have been for the last 11 years. So here's to you mom the greatest liar and the worst mother that ever lived!" Jean said downing her wine glass. Everyone stared at her.
"I knew there's a reason I always liked her," Brian said.
"You're shouting everyone," Jean said.
"Huh?" Roger said.
"I'm telepathic and I'm telekinetic. Not like you would know that because of mommy dearest," Jean said. "Come on Scott let's go."
As Jean walked out of her family's house she could have swear she heard over all the commotion of thoughts the same warm and caring voice that she had heard since she was little.
"Good Girl," her father said.
Well my fans one story down another three to go. Since I have no School because I have no midterms I thought that I would update everything so I hope you like. Bye!
Oh yeah the disclaimer. I own nada, zip, zero and zilch.
