Author's Note: This story is now fast-forwarding to 14 years in the future! *twilight zone music plays in the background* j/k, it won't be like the TZ, but it is in the future time. Sorry ta those of you who liked havin' 'em live in that crappy bunker with the war an' ev'rything. ;P I had an idea for a story, but didn't want to start a new one without finishin' this first, so i thought i'd integrate my new idea with the old one. B'sides i was kinda havin' pretty bad writer's block with the way it was going. *shrugs* Plus i got bored...short attention spand..heh heh. Anyways...
READ THIS the rest of this AU is gonna be more like Ultimate-verse (don't worry, ya don't needta read ult. to understand. ;P ) That's just ta give ya a better picture of the characters now that they're older..even though in Ult. they're *still* teens..oh well. Speaking of 'older', their ages *now* are: Jean-35, Logan-about 36-37 (looks wise atleast), Remy-36, Rogue-33, Kurt-24, and Jubilee-22.
Chapter 5: Parenthood...who'd have guessed?
Recap: The full out war on mutants has been over now for 10 years. When the war ended, a man named Professor Charles Xavier created a school for mutants where he'd train them to fight for the good of mankind.
The mutants of bunker 117; Remy, Rogue, Jean, Logan, Kurt and Jubilee were contacted by Xavier and taken in to live at his school. There they met other mutants; Scott Summers, Ororo Munroe, Hank McCoy, Kitty Pryde and Evan Daniels, to name a few.
When first settling in to the institute, Jean and Logan finally tied the knot and were married. Rogue and Remy soon followed suite and were married a year later.
Present: Logan and Jean now have a 5 year old son together, and they are all still living at the Xavier mansion. His name is Jack Logan Grey, and he is also a mutant like his parents. Jack's mutation has been noticable since birth. He is mainly a werewolf, although he always looks that way. Covered from head to toe with a thin layer of soft brown fur. He has no tail though, and no snout. A face more human than wolf, but he does have the animalistic senses.
Jack possesses the healing factor of his father, but no signs of a mutation similar to his mother's. He has gorgeous green eyes like his mother, and facial features more like his Dad, and at times, with a temper to match.
Logan walks through the front doors of the mansion, carrying with him an old duffle bag. All of sudden he hears the sound of small feet padding across the floor. He looks to his left and sees his little 5 year old boy racing around the corner, heading straight for him.
Jack is running as fast as his little legs can carry him (which is pretty fast, given his wolf-like traits) towards his Dad who's been gone for a few days. "Daddy!!"
Logan drops his duffle bag and outstretches his arms as the small boy leaps into them. "Mad Jack!" He says lovingly.
Jack grins and Logan ruffles the boy's hair, making him frown.
Jean then walks in the room, noticing the 'Kodak moment' of her little boy in his father's arms. She smiles, quickly heading towards Logan. "Welcome back."
Logan grins, putting Jack down. He embraces his wife in his massive arms. "Miss me darlin'?"
"It's been lonely here without you." Jean says, kissing him on the cheek.
They hear a squeel from the small boy still standing right beside them. "Eww..."
Logan chuckles, looking at Jack. "Whatcha been up to Mad Jack?"
Jack starts rocking back on his heels, his hands behind his back. "Nooothin'." He grins.
Jean gives him a certain motherly 'look'. "Tell Daddy what you did Jack."
Jack grinned sheepishly. "I cwimbed up on the roof out the window."
Logan laughed. "That's m'boy."
Jean looked at Logan sternly. "Don't incourage him Logan, he scared me half to death!"
Logan sighed. "Ahright." He picked Jack back up in his arms and looked at him with serious eyes. "I don't want'cha scarin' yer ma now 'kay kiddo?"
Jack nodded. "'Kay." He said quietly.
Logan nodded and put him back down. He shooed him away teasingly and Jack ran off, laughing and skidding around the corner.
As soon as Jack was out of sight, Jean wrapped her arms around Logan's neck and kissed him passionately. "So, how was your mission?"
Logan shrugged. "Eh, same ol', same ol' I guess. A few scrapes, some fightin', nothin' really unusual."
Jean turned to look into his eyes, her face marked with worry. "You're okay right?"
Logan grinned, leaning forward to kiss her forehead. "'Course I am darlin'. Y'don't gotta worry 'bout me." He put his hands on her shoulders and held her at arms length, lifting her chin slightly with his hand. "I heal fast remember?"
Jean half-smiled, running a hand through Logan's thick, wild hair. "I still worry though."
Logan wrapped his arm around her shoulders and began walking upstairs. "Atleast I get ta hold ya tonight. I missed that."
Jean sighed contently. "Yeah, me too." She smiled.
After unpacking his things, and getting greeted by some of the other mansion's residents, Logan makes his way into the rec room to relax and maybe have a beer or two.
Remy and Rogue were sitting on the couch together watching a movie when he walked in. They turned around as his presence was known in the room. "Oh, hey sugah." Rogue smiled that warm southern smile at him.
"Uh-Hey Rogue, Cajun." Logan nodded at them both.
Remy waved a hand up, still watching the movie.
Logan sighed, figuring they probably wanted some alone time. He turned around and started towards the kitchen to get a beer anyway.
Upon reaching the kitchen Logan saw Jean and Jack. He sniffed the air. "Mmm..I smell fresh cookies."
Jack looked up, he was sitting on the counter making cookie dough balls. "You can't have any cookies 'till after dinner." He said in the most serious voice he could muster.
Logan grunted, stepping closer to the cookies on the pan that were already done and cooling on the counter. "That so?" Just as he reached for a cookie, the entire tray moved out of his grasp. "Hey?! What gives?"
Jean smirked, using her telekinesis to keep the cookies away from Logan. "No cookies until after dinner Logan." She said teasingly.
Logan crossed his arms. "C'mon Jeannie, just one cookie."
Jean shook her head. "Not what kind of example would that be setting for Jack if I let you have a cookie now?"
"Yeah!" Jack said, sticking out his lower lip. He didn't understand what they were talking about, but Mom was the one with the cookies so he went with her.
Logan sighed in defeat. "Ahright, ahright." He looked at Jack who had just stuffed a few chocolate chips in his mouth from the open bag.
Jack noticed his Dad looking at him sternly. He snuck a few more chocolate chips, then sneakily hopped off the counter and handed them to Logan.
Logan winked at him, taking the chips and tossing them in his mouth.
"I saw that!" Jean yelled.
Logan snapped his head up. "Make a run for it kiddo!" He whispered at Jack.
Jack howled playfully and took off out of the kitchen.
Logan soon followed suite as Jean stood glaring at him. He grinned sheepishly, running out of the kitchen and howling like Jack.
"Get back here you two!" Jean yelled, laughing as she ran after them.
Hank McCoy was walking out of his lab when he heard some strange howling and then little Jack came flying around the corner, just missing him. He quirked an eyebrow, turning to look at the small boy. "My stars and garters!" He gasped. "What is going on here?"
All of a sudden Logan flew around the same corner as Jack, but wasn't able to miss running into the large, blue-furred Doctor. "Yaaaaaahhhhhhooooowwwww!" *SMASH!*
Jean then came skidding around the corner, stopping just in time to see Hank sprawled on the floor, with Logan flat on his back beside him. "OhmyGod!..Are...you two..okay?!" She gasped between laughter and catching her breath.
Logan got up, rubbing the back of his head. He looked down at Hank apologetically and offered a hand to help him up. "Sorry 'bout that Hank."
Beast rolled his eyes, glaring at Jean who couldn't stop laughing. "I swear, the two of you are worse than Jack sometimes!" Hank said, shaking his head.
"I wouldn't be laughin' if I were you." Logan grumbled, staring hard at Jean.
Jean squeeled as Logan pounced on her, attacking her with tickles. "Logan! Hahahaha!"
Hank merely sighed and walked away.
Logan continued tickling Jean as she squirmed, falling to the floor in the middle of the hallway. "Haha!Loganstop!haha!" She blabbered out.
He finally stopped tickling her, letting her catch her breath. "Had enough Jeannie?"
"You're awfully playful today Logan." Jean said smiling, still lying on the floor.
Logan smirked. "Guess maturity don't come with age huh?"
Jean sat up, wiping the laughter tears from her face. She suddenly became serious. "Did you ever picture our life ending up like this Logan? I mean, I know it's bad but, sometimes I used to think I would die during the war...I never imagined having a future afterward. Especially nothing like this."
Logan gently brushed a hand through her soft, short hair. "Nope, I could never imagine having a life as good as it is now."
Jean smiled, giving him a quick kiss before getting to her feet. "Well, we better go find our son before he causes some trouble."
Logan chuckled, getting up off the floor. "Parenthood...who'd have guessed." He said to himself, before following Jean down the hallway.
