(John is sitting at a table, looking for flowergirl dresses. Piotr is tryign to forget that KItty smells like swiffer stuff. Remy is sitting at the table across from John, staring at the grain. Sam, Davis, and Juliano, with his imagine inducer on, are on a nearby couch, confering.)

Okay, welcome back. It's later in the day. The dress shop had no good dresses for transvestites. So John got a specialty catalouge. I'm tryign to decide whether Panther gets to play in this chapter. I'm half afraid she'll have Scott pass out or something like that to save Rogue's integrity. Or undo my swiffer Obsesive Compulsive disorder.

(Kitty stares at the author)

Kitty-I'm sure real OCDs aren't that bad.

Monk would have used moist towelettes, but it's almost the same.

(John sighs. The author goes over to comfort him, but is waylaid by himself and pulls his image inducer off. Panther is in control of the body, and reprogarams it to show only her.)

Panther-Wasa matter Johnny?

(John looks heartbroken at Panther.)

John-Jean's only marrying me so the kid will have her last name. I feel like she doesn't care about me and would ditch us in a heart beat if Scott said he wanted her back.

(Panther hugs the pregnant aussie.)

Panther-Juliano. . .

Fine, fine. But you can't change anything else this chapter, got it? And we're not going to sit here and look at dresses after ward.

Panther-That's what you think.

Scott and Rogue are full blow snogging against the living room door. Scott's hands are everywhere, and Rogue is enjoying every minute of it.

The door gives an ominous squeak, which both parties ingore. That is, until it opens and both of them fall into the room, Rogue pinning the inebriated Scott to the floor. John is on the couch, asleep.

"C'mon Scott. Let's let the man sleep."

Rogue pulles Scott up. Remy prowls into the adjacent hall just as Scott and Rogue close the door and continued macking

"'M goin' t' break into de prof's liquor. You two in?"

Scott is about to comment when Rogue shuts him up.

"Sure sugah."

All three traipse off to Xavier's office.

___

Jean t.ks the door open, silently walking into the room. She kneels next to John and kisses him. John openes his eyes and smiles at her.

"hey you." John said sleepily, turnign over to face his finace.

"Hey yourself. You know John, you look really-"

"Fat?" John says poutily. He is definitly feelinga little heavier.

"You're not fat, you're pregnant. And I was going to say beautiful."

Jean runs her fingers over John's face. John leans his head into it, smiling.

A bit of reality choses this moment to hit John's brain. "I hope our kid is going to be okay." John says, no longer smiling. Jean kisses his forehead.

"It'll be okay. You'll be the dad. I'll be the mom. We'll raise it here. The others will love the baby. We'll love it more. And things will eb good. You'lls ee." Jean kisses John in between every prediction for their future. JOhn eventually smiled int he reflected beauty of it.

"Thanks Jean."

Jean smiles at her future wife. "No problem love."

***

(All females, Panther included are looking at John and Jean with the classic 'Aww you two are so cute together face.' Jean looks embarrassed, but not unhappy, and John is glowing.)

I am sickened. I wrote that for you Panther. Now for what I want to do. . .

***

Remy breaks out another bottle of scotch. All three have already had a lot. Rogue is sprawled across both men. Scott is under her legs, but even more under the influence. Remy pours thre more shots and hands them out. He downs his, and hands the other two off. Rogue sits up to drink hers. After she finishes Remy grabs her face and kisses her. Scott is massaging her thighs, working his way up. Do the math people.

(All are lookinga t Juliano evilly.)

Rogue-The hell was that fo'? Ah've been good.

I need to reassert my authority-

Panther-He's feeling inadequate. I adopted a baby that would have been aborted other wise and he's mad. Killian's so cute though, and he likes to experiment evilly on other people's bodies. Like his momma.

(John squeals and asks to hold the demon child. Panther glares at me for referring to her son as a demon.)

Panther-He's little. And we're evil scientists, so it's okay. Huh Killian?

(All the women, minus Jean, and John start playing with the baby. I regain control of the body and hand Killian off to Rogue, who smiles at him. I then attempt to go watch soccer with Sam and Davis. Panther tries to stop me. We keep going toward the tv.)

Panther-Juliano! We have to ick Remy and Piotr's dresses! Wait! *gives up on that tactic* PAGE FOURTY! BOTTOM RIGHT FOR REMY, TEN, LEFT PAGE FOR PIOTR!

(John flips through the book while the author, Sam, and Davis all watch Germany versus Ireland.)

Kitty-*still layign with Killian* He's such a cute little boy. *notices the chapter has wound down* Should we fade to black now?
