Chapter 16

Logan's Pov

"Jean?"

My head immediately snapped to the door as Ororo uttered that horrible name.

"Ororo!" Jean sobbed, walking into the house, tears streaming down her face. In her arms were her suitcases and a tiny bundle.

"Is--is that a baby?" Ororo gasped as Jean nodded.

"OH! I LOVE BABIES!" Aqua squealed. With her arm around Jean, Ororo steered Jean into the living room and sat her down on the couch.

"Whose baby is it?" Ororo asked, taking the tiny baby into her arms. Jean buried her face into her hands and cried even louder. Awoken by the noise, the baby started to wail loudly. 'Ro tried desperately to calm the baby down, but the wailing just got louder.

"HERE, LET ME HELP!" Aqua shouted through all the noise.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Ororo shouted back, rocking the baby back and forth.

"WHAT?!" Tidus bellowed.

"WILL YOU PEOPLE PLEASE SHUT UP!" I shouted, my ears pounding.

"WHAT!?" They all shouted.

"SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted again.

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Aqua shouted

"SHUT THE HELL UP!"

"WHAT?! SPEAK LOUDER!"

"SHUT UP!"

"DID YOU SAY SOMETHING, LOGAN!?" Ororo shouted.

"ARGH!" I walked right up to Jean's ear and shouted with all my might, "SHUT UP!" Jean jumped into the air and grabbed her ear. Once her wailing stopped, the baby stopped crying too.

"Oh that's good," Aqua said, "so what were you saying, Logan?"

"Oh never mind," I grumbled, "it's a good thing Jean and that stupid baby stopped crying, or else I might be deaf by now."

"I'm so sorry, Logan," Jean sniffed, wiping her face with her sleeve. Frowning, Ororo handed the baby to Aqua and put her hand on Jean's shoulder.

"whose baby is it?" Ororo asked softly. Still sniffling, Jean looked away.

"Is it yours?" Looking ashamed, Jean nodded. Aqua and Tidus gasped and looked at me.

"Hey! Don't look at me! I never did anything with her!" I exclaimed, rising up my hands in defence.

"Nobody said you did, Logan," my sweet, beautiful Ororo said, "I completely trust you."

"I knew you would," I grinned. I wanted to lean over and give her a kiss, but 'Ro shook her head. I leaned back onto the couch and scowled .

"Who's the father, Jean?" 'Ro asked, ignoring me. Jean's eyes started to water again. Oh no! Not again!

"Don't cry, Jean. We'll be there to help you," Tidus assured her quickly.

"Yup! We'll all be there for this cute little baby. I mean, who doesn't like babies?," Aqua said as the baby blew a raspberry, "that is soooooo CUTE!"

"Tell us what happened," Ororo said. Jean bit her lip and nodded.

"I bet that all of you wondered why I went back home so suddenly," Jean started sadly.

"Not me," I muttered.

"Well, it's because my father died. It was such a hard time for me, and I felt so sad and depressed," she continued, ignoring my comment, "After the funeral, I went off on my own to a local bar. I wanted to drink away my sadness, so I ordered dozens beers and drank them all. After that, everything was a blur. I remember a man coming up to me and ordering me some more drinks, then everything went black. When I woke up, I was naked in a bed with a man I didn't know." Jean started crying again, but luckily, the baby was fast asleep.

"So the baby's father is that man?" Ororo said as she let Jean cried on her shoulder.

"Y--y--yes," Jean sobbed. She was crying so hard that I actually started to feel sorry for her and that was a really uncommon thing.

"Don't worry, we'll help you take care of the baby," Tidus said, frowning.

"Yah," I agreed.

"Oh Logan! After you hear what I did next, you'll probably hate me!" Jean sobbed.

"What did you do?!" I asked, trying my best not to sound angry. This was proving to be really hard.

"After I had the baby, I had to sign this form from the hospital.. I had no problem doing that, but--but when I got to the part where it said 'father's name,' I couldn't think of anyone to put on it. So--so I put you name," Jean said the last part really quietly.

"WHAT!?" We all shouted, jumping up from the couch. Well, everybody except for Ororo and Jean. 'Ro was staring into space with her famous Ice Queen face.

"How could you!" I snarled.

"Yah! You have no right to do that, Jean!" Aqua exclaimed, putting the baby down. Tidus remained silent.

"I'm sorry," Jean sniffed, "I'm so sorry."

"Well sorry ain't enough!" I barked. Now I was REALLY pissed off. Sure, I felt sorry for her, but not enough to say that the baby was mine! I wasn't about to let this come between me and 'Ro! And Jean had the nerve to act all innocent and upset! Just as I was about to yell at her some more to release my anger, Ororo stepped between us.

"What's done has been done. There is nothing more we can do about it," Ororo said calmly. Then she picked up the baby and asked, "What's his name?"

"Blaze," Jean said quietly, surprised by her calm voice.

"The name suits him well," 'Ro said before walking up the stairs and into her room.

"Is it just me, or is Ororo acting so calm really weird," Aqua said when Ororo was out of sight.

"I'm worried," Tidus said.

"It's all my fault!" Jean exclaimed, burying her head in her hands again.

"'Course it is. I'm going up to check on her," I said before I leaped up the steps.

When I got to 'Ro's attic door, I saw that the door was slightly ajar.

"'Ro?"
"Go away," 'Ro's voice sounded quivery.

"Are you okay, 'Ro?"

"I'm fine."

"Can I come in, darlin'? I really wanna talk to you."

"I'm fine, Logan. I just want to think about some things."

"Please 'Ro. I NEED to talk to you."

"Fine then. Come in."

I walked inside and up the stairs to her room. The moment I stepped in, Ororo's scent engulfed me. Plants were spread all over the room, making it look like her precious greenhouse. I found 'Ro sitting on her bed, the little baby in her arms. She was looking down at the baby and didn't even seem to notice my presence

"Sit down," 'Ro said, not looking up from the baby. I sat down uncertainly and looked down at what Ororo was so entranced in. Little Blaze was fast asleep. His little hands were balled into fists and he seemed so calm and peaceful. For the first time since Jean came back, I felt peacefulness sweep through me.

"I wonder what's it like to be in his mind," Ororo said after a few minutes. She looked up into my eyes, and once again, I felt myself being sucked into those blue orbs. I shrugged, not knowing what to say.

"It must be so peaceful and innocent," 'Ro said, stroking Blaze's little tufts of hair, "he's really a beautiful little boy, isn't he?"

"Yah, I guess," I replied, looking back down at him.

"Don't you think he deserves a complete family?" Ororo asked.

"Yah, but I don't want to lose you," I said slowly.

"You won't, Logan." 'Ro put Blaze down and wrapped her arms around my neck. I hugged her back, and buried my face into her hair.

"I love you, Ororo. I don't want anything to come between us."

"Nothing will, Logan. I promise. You can be Blaze's father and still be my boyfriend, right?"

"Of course. If that's what you want."

"There's nothing I want more," Ororo replied. We were complete bliss. It was the perfect moment…and then we heard crying.

2 Weeks Later

Third Person's Pov

"So where are we going now, 'Ro?" Logan asked.

"Hm…I think that we should go eat something quick and then bring something back to the institute for Jean and Blaze," 'Ro replied. They were riding in Scott's car….again. Unfortunately, Scott DID come back and he wasn't happy about all the water on the seats of his car. Scott through a fit and made Logan swear NEVER to use his car again. Luckily, Ororo wasn't around at that time, so now Logan could 'pretend' that he never promised Scott anything.

"Hey! That's a good idea," Logan grinned, "but that would mean less quality time for us." Logan wasn't happy about the idea of taking care of a baby that wasn't his at first, but once he spent some time with little Blaze, he stopped complaining. With Ororo's help, Logan slowly got use to taking care of Jean and her little son.

"Oh well, you're really boring anyway," 'Ro giggled.

"I dare you to repeat that," Logan grinned, looking at her quickly.

"I'm sooooo bored…but I'm so happy being bored!" Ororo laughed.

"You better be, darlin'," Logan said, kissing her quickly on the cheek, "so are we still up for the movie tonight? Or am I too 'boring' for you."

"Maybe. I don't know, I might get bored to death," 'Ro said, pretending to think.

"But I thought you were happy being bored with me."

"I am, but we're always watching the movies that you want to watch."

"Fine then, oh wonderful weather goddess. This time, I will let you pick," Logan said, "now will you please do me the honour and go with me to the movies tonight?"

"Hm…fine then," Ororo laughed, her eyes sparkling.

"So whatcha wanna watch?"

"Um…how about Van Helsing? Hugh Jackman is so hot!" Ororo said, watching for Logan's reaction.

"Hugh Jackman? Hot? I never thought those words could be put together!" Logan laughed.

"He is too hot! He's second to Orlando Bloom! You're just jealous!" Ororo said, crossing her arms.

"You're right. I am jealous. I'm so damn jealous of Hugh Jackman that I'm going to go over to his house and kill him! He's not going to get away with getting my girl to say he's hot!" Logan snarled.

"Oh Logan! You're so silly!" Ororo laughed.

"I'm not joking, 'Ro. I'm really going to kill that guy."

"You wouldn't!" Ororo said, but her smiled faltered a little, "Would you?"

"I might, since I'm so insanely jealous," Logan pouted as he stopped the car at the fast food restaurant.

"Aw. Don't be, Logie. I only think Hugh Jackman is hot because he kind of looks like you," Ororo said, pinching his cheeks teasingly.

"Oh really? So you think I look like Hugh Jackman, eh?" Logan said, an evil grin spreading across his face.

"Logan, you wouldn't," Ororo said.

"Oh yes I would," Logan grinned. Then he leaped onto Ororo's side and tickled her. A few steps away, a group of teenagers raised their eyebrows as they heard loud laughter coming from a car.

That Night

Ororo took one last glance at the mirror and picked up her purse, ready to head downstairs for her date. Suddenly, her cell phone rang…or talked.

"Hey Ororo!" The familiar voice said, his voice muffled by her purse. Groaning, she reached into her purse and got out the sleek, black cell.

"Hello, X34," Ororo said weakly.

"Hi beautiful! You got a phone call," X34 said, winking at her.

"Where's it from?"

"From a phone in a nearby baby help centre."

"I mean who's calling," Ororo said, trying to keep her cool.

"That stupid guy. The one with the weird, pointy hair."

"You mean Logan?"

"Yah, that guy," X34 said, "I seriously don't know what you see in him."

"Can I just talk to him?"

"I mean, he has such a temper and…"

"Can I just talk to him?"

"He's not even good looking! I mean I'm way better looking then he is…

"Can I just talk to him," Ororo said, starting to feel angry.

"I would understand if you fall for me, but for him!? Why him--"

"CAN I JUST TALK TO HIM, BUB!?" Ororo shouted, sounding a lot like her boyfriend.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so ashamed of you, Ororo! You've been hanging around that pointed hair guy too much! You're even talking like him!" X34 exclaimed.

"For the hundredth time, can I just answer the call!?"

"Fine. Be rude then," X34 said, sticking out his tongue at her. There was a click and then she heard Logan's voice.

"'Ro? Can you hear me?"

"Yes she can, stupid," X34 said.

"Shut up, X34!" Logan and I shouted together.

"Fine," it grumbled.

"So when are you picking me up, Logan?" she asked.

"I'm sorry, 'Ro, but I don't think we can watch Van Helsing today."

"Why?" Ororo asked as her heart sank.

"Stupid Jean says that she signed us up for this stupid Child care thing. It's supposed to teach us to be better parents. I don't wanna go, but Jean said that I had to or else she'll tell you that I wasn't taking good care of her."

"Oh…well that's ok. I understand," Ororo said, trying to sound cheerful. She regretted telling Logan to swear that he would take good care of Jean and never saying no to her demands that he was able to do.

"I promise we'll watch it next time, ok?" Logan said, "oh, and can you take care of Blaze for a little while?"

"Sure," the disappointed goddess replied. Then from the background, she heard Jean's voice.

"The lesson thing is starting. I gotta go, ok?"

"Ok. Bye, Logan."

"Bye. I love ya," Logan said. Then there was a click and Ororo put the cell down.

"See? I told you! That guy doesn't deserve a girl like you!" X34 exclaimed.

"Shut up, X34," Ororo said tiredly, sitting down on her bed.

"Do you really like that guy THAT much?!" X34 asked.

"I'm going. See you later, X43."

"No wait, Oro--" Before it could finish its sentence, Ororo turned the cell off. She sighed and headed downstairs.

"What are you doing here, 'Ro?" Aqua asked, when the white haired woman walked into the kitchen.

"Yah, you're suppose to be out on a date with Logan," Tidus said, as he took out the ice cream from the fridge.

"He had to go to some class on being a good parent with Jean," Ororo replied, taking a spoonful of the ice cream.

"What!? That's like the third time this week that he blew you off!" Aqua exclaimed, spooning a huge block of the ice cream into her mouth.

"I know, but Jean needs Logan more than me, right now," the weather goddess said sadly. Suddenly, they heard Blaze start crying upstairs.

"Oh! I got to go check on Blaze now, see you later," Ororo said as she hurried out of the kitchen. Tidus sighed.

"Is it just me, or does it seem like Ororo's getting sadder and sadder each day?" Tidus said, plopping himself on the chair next to Aqua's.

"Yah, I know. It's all because of that stupid Jean!" Aqua exclaimed as she swallowed another spoonful of ice cream.

"Yah, and if I'm right, then it's Scott's fault too."

"Scott? How do you know? You're hiding something from me, aren't you, Tidus?" Aqua accused, pointing the spoon at him.

"Yah, but that's only because I wasn't sure back then."

"So are you sure about it now?"

"Yah."

"Then what are you waiting for? Tell me!" Aqua said impatiently. Tidus nodded and told her about what he heard Scott and Jean discuss on Christmas Eve.

"So you mean that Jean might be tricking Ororo and Logan into breaking up?" Aqua said.

"Yah, and if I'm right, she might succeed. I mean, look at Ororo! She's been looking so sad lately. I'm really worried, sis."

"Same here, bro," Aqua frowned. The ice cream in her hand was forgotten, which proved how worried she was.

"We gotta make sure the plan doesn't work! They're the first people that make me really feel that I'm not alone in this world. They're like mom and dad," Tidus said, biting his lip.

"I know how you feel Tidus. Even though I don't remember mom and dad, I know that they were really good people. I know that Ororo and Logan are the closest people to being our parents and I hope they never break up," Aqua took a deep breath, "So what's your plan?"
