I wanted to update only tomorrow, bu in front of so much reviews I couldn't refuse to do it sooner !

And believe my, there'll be a lot of cliff-anger MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! lol

And I've written an really horrible fic in the evo-verse, which Aerial is correcting (the translation) Muahahahahaha

- "Did…did HE know about it?" she asked tactfully.

Jean bit again her lower lip, searching obviously to hold back a little more her emotions.

- "…no…" she articulated before going on "…I…I was suspecting I was pregnant…but I…I wanted to confirm it….when I knew it…I've decided to wait for our date at his return…but he never came back…I…Oh Ororo, I miss him so much !!" she ended by bursting into tears, burying her face in her hands.

The Weather Witch couldn't hold on her own tears anymore and took her best friend in her arms. They just had had the longest conversation since the tragedy which one had just revealed to her a secret kept buried during all this time. Jean seemed to her to be even more fragile than ever and Ororo was afraid to break her. She couldn't get over it, her best friend was expecting a baby, she who seemed to be unable to look at her own future…but at the same time, this last one was helping her to carry on.

Logan made his appearance into the kitchen and stopped at the sight of the scene. Ororo made him a sign not to step in and he didn't protest even if seeing Jean in this state was breaking his heart (And this even if numerous students believed he was devoid of it)

After some minutes, feeling Jean becoming exhausted, Storm helped her to stand up and lead her to the living-room; Wolverine didn't follow them, respecting her request.

- "Here, lie down"

The telepath stretched herself on the sofa and sighed deeply before drying her tears. She was feeling tired all of a sudden, and felt her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier; all these emotions had exhausted her.

- "That's better ?" asked Storm, crouched near her "Do you want me to bring you something ? maybe something to eat ?"

- "…don't speak to me about food…"

Storm slightly smiled at her remark referring to the nausea accompanying a pregnancy, before seeing Jean shiver.

- "Then, maybe a blanket…?"

The young woman nodded and Ororo got to her feet.

- "Well, I'll be back soon" she said softly.

Sometimes later, she was extending the woollen blanket on her friend and declared:

- "Now I understand better why you were always wearing ample clothes whereas you don't have a lot, you were beginning to have more shapes…"

Jean confirmed with a slight nod, her eyes half shut, as she was falling asleep. Ororo was about to let her rest, but asked her a last question:

- "Do you want me to announce it to the others?, or…"

- "…no, do it…" answered Jean.

Ororo accepted and went to draw the curtains of the living room before leaving the place.

When Storm came back in the kitchen, she found the Professor Xavier and Hank in addition of Logan, this last one having obviously informed the others of the state in which he had discovered the two friends. The three men looked at her without asking her any question as she went to fill up herself a glass of milk which one she slowly drank; wiping away her tears with the back of her hand.

- "So ?" ended by asking Wolverine, his patience having its limits well known "What happened ? I know today's a particular one, but I'm sure there was another reason for havin' wanted to stay alone with her"

The Weather Witch sat down at the kitchen table and stayed silent during a while before ending by nod:

- "Yes, there's something else. You remember that the fact of seeing Jean eat again had reassured us, when we were saying that, at least, she had something in her belly ?"

The three of them nodded, seeming to see more or less where Ororo was driving at.

- "…Well, we didn't know how much we were right, Jean is pregnant." she announced.

- "What ? But how ? When I've found her at the bar, she…. »

- "No no no Logan, you don't understand" Storm cut him, seeing he was on the wrong track "She's pregnant from Scott, actually she's about three and half a months pregnant, and it's that news which had made her so happy last month without us knowing why…"

- "My god…" said the Professor in an overwhelmed voice by immediately understanding what this meant "So, the day which should have been one of the happiest of her life had also been the one having seen her worse nightmare happen…I guess Scott never knew it ?" he asked.

Storm sadly nodded.

- "And she's kept this secret during all these weeks whereas we could have supported her ?" said Hank, incredulous.

Charles spoke again:

- "I guess she hasn't managed to speak to us about that because something was preventing her from doing it or was scaring her ; that's why I've never known – even the rare times where I've had to enter in her mind – and that she has never projected it unwillingly…"

Storm nodded:

- "And here, she didn't tell me about it; the realisation came to me" she specified before adding "I've to admit that at the beginning, knowing she hadn't said anything to me, I felt a little disappointed ; but after I've understood : she had just lost Scott and was afraid to lose the baby she was expecting too."

- "But what is surprising is that she never had let it escape" made notice Hank "that's not the kind of thing a woman would hide, overall when it's a desired pregnancy like I'm sure it is"

- "In other circumstances you'd well know she'd have told us" explained Storm "She wanted Scott to be the first to be informed…poor Jean"

She stayed pensive a while before realising something:

- "But…Now that I think about that, I believe she nearly said it to me, the day after her run away…"

The three others mutants gave her a glance egging her to go on.

- "I found her in tears in her bathroom this day and –after having helped her to re-turn in her bed– she said something to me, she said that she was 'irresponsible', but she hadn't wanted to tell me more even if she seemed to want to by beginning her sentence" said Storm "Now, I understand, she was blaming herself because of her baby"

- "So, if you're right," began Hank as much pensive "When I've found her in the infirmary this very evening, something tells me she wasn't there for a box of Efferalgan…"

- "You're thinking about exams, like a scan by example ?" asked the Professor.

- "Yes, she had the material and the competences to do it by herself" nodded Beast.

- "She'll need us, overall under the circumstances; pregnant, she's emotionally more fragile " declared Storm.

- "Moreover, in my knowledge, this pregnancy is the first one fathered by two mutants, and furthermore of Alpha class mutants."

The Professor nodded.

- "And where is she now ?" asked Logan.

- "In the living-room resting, I made her comfortable on a sofa" answered Ororo "Crying like that had exhausted her, she was slumbering even before I let her ; Besides, she wanted me to announce her pregnancy to you on her behalf"

A silence fell in the room, each one being cut in their own thoughts.

He was in this tiny cell for months, or maybe was it only weeks? He hadn't got a clue, his mind had stayed too long confused by tranquillisers which had been administrated to him and, in any case, time didn't matter, not now…

To be continued….
