I don't care...

Care if I'm old

I don't mind...

Mind, don't have a mind

Get away...

Away from your home

I'm afraid...

Afraid of a ghost

The door slid open with a soft creak and silent feet padded just inside the doorway, the room smelled of lavender and baby powder. Dawson moaned in his sleep kicking off his blankets, "Nnn?" He grunted pulling himself up into a standing position with the help of the bars on his crib. The figure slowly stepped up to the side of Dawson's bed and hesitantly touched his shoulder with the tips of their fingers. A clearer better look at Logan triggered a memory from the day's earlier events and Dawson did what came natural, he screamed. Sitting straight up nearly knocking over the figure in the process, Dawson let out a startled yelp and thrashed wildly falling off the side of the bed.

"Dawson! It's me! Jennifer!" The shadowy figure hissed reaching down to help Dawson to his feet once he calmed down.

Dawson panted for a few seconds trying to calm his racing heart, "What are you doing?" He gasped accepting her hand and climbed to his feet.

"Ah didn't mean ta scare you," Jennifer whispered as her eyes slid over to the door, "Ah'm just…" She hesitated looking back at Dawson who had sat back down on the bed and was now listening to her intently, "Ah can't sleep."

"What's wrong?" Even in the dim light he could see the pale tone her face had taken on.

Jennifer shook her head tiredly, "Ah told you about my… my mutation right?" She whispered sitting down next to Dawson, he nodded and she continued, "Well not only can ah see them but they look exactly how they died," She shuddered slightly, "There's this one guy… he's a soldier of some type, ya know he's got the uniform an' everything, but half his face is blown off and…" She squeezed her eyes shut trying to block out the picture, "Well he was in my room tonight starin' at me and ah got a bit creeped out…"

"Hey, it's cool," Dawson shrugged then scooted back and laid down, "You can stay here if ya want."

Jennifer smiled, "Thanks." She yawned laying down, Dawson's arm wrapped around her waist and the two fell back to sleep almost instantly.

The sun's rays shined through the half open window waking the room's inhabitants. Virginia sighed and snuggled closer into the warmth on the other side of the bed.

"Sorry but I have to get up this morning." Bruce whispered lightly kissing her neck.

Virginia groaned, "Do you have to?" She murmured tiredly easing open her eyes as Bruce crawled out from under the sheets.

He nodded running a hand through his mussed hair, "Yea, I have a big board meeting back in Gotham and I have to give Dick a night off."

Virginia sat up, "When will you be back?"

"Hopefully tomorrow afternoon." Bruce kissed her on the forehead.

"Maybe we can show Dawson around Gotham sometime?"

Bruce frowned slightly then shrugged, "Sure." He said grabbing some clothes before going into the bathroom for a quick shower.

Jack wandered into the kitchen carrying Danny, Cane and Hayley following behind, "What are you hungry for?" He asked glancing over his shoulder at his wife and son who had taken seats at the table.

"Cereal!" Cane shouted grinning widely as he squirmed in his almost to small Ninja Turtles pajamas.

Hayley smiled at him, "That sounds good." She said looking up at Jack who was taking out some bowls and spoons.

"Me too." Danny whispered around her thumb.

Jack nodded, "Good, an easy meal to make." He carefully poured each of them a bowl then carried Danny over to a chair and sat her down before serving everyone.

A couple of moments later Jamie stalked in yawning and stretching, "Morning." He greeted everyone as he fished around the 'fridge.

Not long after him the kitchen was full with chattering adults and children as everyone fixed themselves something to eat.

"Tommy!" Jubilee called after her son as he chased after Blake around the kitchen, "If you two are going to run go outside!"

Roberto chuckled taking a glass out of Jubilee's hand, "Thanks." He smiled kissing her on the cheek.

"Hey!" Tommy stuck his tongue out at Blake then dodged an airborne Cheerio aimed at his head from Cane.

"Stop throwing your food Cane!" Hayley scolded her son before turning back to her own meal.

Danny watched with wide eyes as the boys scarfed their food down as fast as they could then each ran from the room shouting and giggling.

Piotr opened the door side stepping the three boys as he walked in with Rogue, "Where's Jen?" He asked looking down at his wife.

Rogue shrugged, "Still sleepin' ah guess."

"Good mornin'!" Jennifer smiled walking into the kitchen and grabbed an apple from the fruit basket.

Piotr raised an eyebrow, "Sleep well?"

"Yea ah slept surprisingly well last night."

Stephanie and Dawson walked into the room holding hands; Jennifer took a bite out of her apple and smiled at the two as they approached her.

"Hey Jen, we were wondering if you wanted to go see a movie with us today." Stephanie asked reaching for an orange.

The smell of burning toast filled the kitchen and Luke cursed rather loudly as he pulled open the toaster oven door and reached in grabbing the blackened pieces of bread. He shouted again having burnt his fingers and dropped the toast onto the counter scattering crumbs all over.

Nikki gasped jumping back slightly, "Are you okay?" He asked quickly grabbing onto Luke's hand to see if he was badly hurt.

Luke pulled his hand away, "I'm fine, I'm fine." He waved Nikki off as he cleaned up the mess.

Nikki looked a little hurt but perked back up and helped clean up. Rob stalked into the kitchen, permanent marker marks still all over his face. Everyone kept quiet about it as he made himself a bowl of cereal and left to eat outside on the patio like he did every morning. Logan walked into the room just as Rob left and the room suddenly became quiet and filled with tension.

"Mornin' dad." Dawson mumbled as Logan walked through the kitchen to the 'fridge.

Logan smirked slightly, "Mornin'." He grunted pulling out a carton of orange juice.

Stephanie squeezed Dawson's hand, "Hey, why don't we go out and eat breakfast? I know this great place!"

"Sure," Dawson nodded hesitantly, "Sounds great." He smiled and let himself be led out of the kitchen.
