Crystal sat down in a small diner as she waited for her food. Thomas looked at her with a smile as he watched her nose crinkle. The smell of bacon and sweaty loggers was beginning to take its toll on her.

"You okay there Mama?" Thomas said as he watched her carefully.

"Yeah," She replied as she looked at her coffee. "I'm just trying to ignore the smell…of… EXCUSE ME!"

Thomas gave a small chuckle as she ran to the bathroom. It seemed that not too long ago his wife was doing the same thing, but now his son's mate was pregnant and it was a new generation of Creed she was carrying. He was about to knock on the bathroom door to check on her when she opened the door.

"I'm better now," She said as she straightened her shirt. "Oooh I smell blueberry pancakes!"

He shook his head and sat with her as they waited for the people from the Xavier institute to come and get them. He had a feeling that there was going to be a huge surprise in store for both him and his daughter-in-law when the people finally did arrive.

Victor slammed his fist down on a broken log as he looked around the small island.

"Damn it," He growled as he lifted a log and threw it at a broken shed. "How in the hell am I supposed to get to her now?"

Pyro, Juggernaut, and Avalanche just looked at him and whispered amongst themselves. Finally one of them spoke up.

"We'll help." Juggernaut said sure of himself. "If we work together, we can have you out in no time, sir."

Victor looked at the trio and growled to himself. They may not be the brightest stars in the sky, but when they put their heads together they could come up with some intelligent ideas.

"Fine," Sabertooth said tiredly. "Avalanche, you make a pit big enough to fit all these logs, Juggernaut you put the logs in the pit, and Pyro, you burn the logs. I want a bunch of small pits, that way we won't have a large fire that will attract near by airplanes."

The men nodded and began working right away. Victor helped Juggernaut with the log clearing while Avalanche and Pyro did their thing.

"So," Juggernaut said as he threw a log into a near by pit. "You really love the bird don't you."

"What's it to you?" Sabertooth growled as he flung a log into the pit.

"I think it's a good thing that you found someone to love," Juggernaut said as he tossed another log. "Not all mutants get to be happy."

"I ain't happy just yet," Victor said as he picked up another log and tossed it. "I still got to find her."

"So," Juggernaut said as he broke a small tree over his knee. "Find her."

"I don't think that'll be easy," Victor replied as he found a piece of wood that would be perfect for making a small wooden tiger for the baby's mobile. "She's pretty pissed and I kind of said some things that wouldn't exactly make her want me."

"Like what?" Juggernaut asked with crossed arms.

"Like," Victor said as he thought for a moment. "Like get that damn log out of the way, and stop asking so many questions."

Juggernaut just rolled his eyes and continued to clear the way. As night began to fall the group of men began to realize that even if everyone on the island pitched in and helped that it would take a week just to reach the island shore and clearing the shoreline would probably take another week in and of itself.

"Come on Sabe's," Pyro pleaded. "Just let me burn a path and then you can get to your little sex toy faster!"

"Because you bleached blond idiot," Victor growled. "If you burn all of this at once, then you create a huge fire with a huge smoke plume and then every plane, jet, and water patroller this side of the world will know where we are and then we're all screwed!"

Victor was about to walk away when he realized that he had forgotten something very important.

"And if you ever call her a sex toy ever again," Sabertooth growled in pure rage. "I will cut you from chin to groin, pull out your intestines, and more than gladly strangle you with them!"

Pyro swallowed hard and nodded slowly. Normally if someone threatened him like that he wouldn't pay them any attention, but it was Sabertooth that threatened him. It was well known that Sabertooth had a nasty reputation of which statistics were ten times out of ten carrying out his threats.

Hank and Logan pulled up to a small diner.

"This is the place," Logan said as he put the car into park. "I recognize the smell of the small bakery on the corner."

"Well," Hank said as he got out of the car. "No need in keeping them waiting."

Logan rolled his eyes and walked toward the diner with Hank. Logan noticed a young woman running to the bathroom as they walked into the diner.

"I think I found them," Logan said as he motioned in the direction of the young woman's table. "It's the one with the laughing man and puking woman."

"Thank you Mr. Logan," Hank replied dryly. "Let's see if they are the ones we're looking for."

"You first Obi-Wan." Logan said as Hank walked past him.

Hank walked over to Thomas and cleared his throat.

"Excuse me," Hank said as he tapped Thomas on the shoulder. "You wouldn't happen to be a Mr. Thomas Creed would you?"

Thomas turned around and gave a polite smile.

"Yes sir," Thomas responded politely. "That's me and Ms. Crystal will be back in a moment."

"Good," Hank said smiling. "I'm looking forward to this, I mean I've delivered children before, but never were both parents mutants."

"Great," Logan replied sarcastically. "Another thing for Doctor Furball to go nerd over.

Tigress walked back to the booth.

"Oh, good you're here," Thomas said standing up. "Crystal this is the doctor I was telling you about, Dr. McCoy this is Crystal and Baby, and Crystal and Baby this is Logan."

"Hey," Logan said as he looked at Thomas. "Haven't I seen you somewhere before?"

"Yes," Thomas replied as he straightened his sleeves. "I'm your father."

"My stars and garters," Hank replied looking between the two men. "The resemblance is uncanny."

"Yeah, yeah, " Tigress said as she looked down at her food. "One's just as ugly as the other, can we get down to business because I'm going to have to go back to the bathroom soon."

"Why," Hank asked in concern. "Do you still feel nauseated?'

"No," Tigress replied dryly. "Because I'm not even showing yet and this kid's already big enough to do the Samba on my bladder!"

"Right," Hank said quickly. "Mr. Logan we'll have to deal with the domestic issues later, right now we have a far more urgent issue, we can talk with Mr. Creed later."

"I'll see you later this afternoon," Tigress said as she gathered her things. "And remember I have a list of everything on the kitchen counter, if you have any questions don't be afraid to call me…"

"Thank you Crystal," Thomas said with a smile. "But I think that I can take care of myself for at least a day, who do you think took care of me before you stumbled into my yard?"

"Do you want me to answer honestly or lie?" Crystal asked as she buttoned up her coat.

"Which ever is funnier." Thomas said with a mischievous gleam in his eye.

"I think that the crazy lady with all the racoons and cats," Crystal said as she picked up her to-go box. "You know her she lives about ten miles south of us, yeah I think she took care because when I came you couldn't even tell that there was a person beneath all that hair. You looked just like one of her damned crazy animals!"

Thomas erupted into laughter and saw her off.

"Be good to her boys," Thomas said as they go into the car. " 'Cause if you're not she'll kill you."

"Really," Hank replied in alarm. "She'll kill us?"

"Yep," Thomas replied smiling. "She'll guilt you to death!"

As Hank drove Logan and Crystal to the institute Crystal became hungry.

"Hey," Crystal said rubbing her stomach. "Could we stop and get some lunch, I'm starving."

"Of course," Hank replied as he looked for a restaurant sign. "What would you like?"

"A nice big juicy steak covered in grape jelly with a side of celery sticks and peanut butter."

Hank and Logan exchanged a quick look and began looking for the nearest mutant friendly steakhouse.

Victor was laying down on the roof of his island complex when he became hungry. He suddenly began craving steak covered in grape jelly with a side of celery sticks and peanut butter.
