Every one stared at Jean horrified for a long moment before shifting their gaze to John, Jeans youngest cousin whom she was babysitting for the night. John looked like a miniature version of Jean with thick red hair and huge green eyes. Currently he was trying to grab a hold of Kurt's tail.

Ororo moved over to the red headed teenager. "My dear, what possessed you to look after your cousin here in the mansion?"

"I wish to know also." The professor wheeled into the room before stopping in front of her and picking up the child. "Well?"

Jean played with a strand of her hair. "My Aunt Julie and Uncle Jim who were staying nearby wanted to go to see a show and so they asked me to take care of John." She smiled suddenly. "And I couldn't say no, I live in a school for mutants, could I?"

Kurt twisted his tail out of the toddlers reach. "Err, Jean? Does everyone in your family's name begin with a 'J'?"

"Of course not, I have a cousin Anne – no wait, she's called Joanne." She giggled. "Oh well, must be a family tradition."

"Ja." The blue mutant managed to successfully move his tail away from the danger zone of the cousin who pulled a face. "Looks like he's concentrating."

Professor Xavier nodded slowly. "Your right Jean, though I wish you had at least informed me before hand of your plans."

"Couldn't you have just read my mind?"

"You now fine well that I don't believe in..."

Everyone tuned out of the lecture fondly called 'telepathy and its ethics'. Evan though actually interrupted it. "I think John's going cross eyed."

"Evan!"

"Sorry auntie O."

The woman was about to say more only the back ground drone of the lecture stopped abruptly. Everyone looked over to see why as Professor Xavier lifted the child off his lap very carefully. There was a large wet patch on his trousers now and a very pleased look on the babies face.

"Jean."

"Sorry professor."

-----------------------

Finally, a moment of freedom. Kurt Wagner examined the shelves of DVD's in the rental store. What to choose – a horror that would make Kitty cower in his arms or a horror that would make him laugh? Or perhaps just a general slash fest of a horror where everyone dies.

There was a snort behind him and he looked round with his yellow eyes hidden beneath his hologram to see Logons broad chest. "Ja, Herr Logan?"

"Elf, no horror movies, they're a bad influence for the baby."

Kurt slowly took in Logan's gruff demeanour; the fact that he had been waving his adamantium claws around just ten minutes ago after John had thrown up on his favourite chair and broke into a grin. "Zhen you vont be able to go back to ze mansion."

"Don't act smart, elf." He grabbed a few DVDs off the 'family' rack and walked over to the counter to pay for them. Everyone groaned at the idea of a family movie.

---------------------

The family movies turned out to be a horror that had been put back in the wrong place, a pokemon movie and the Labyrinth. It was decided (to the teenager's complaints) that the horror was unsuitable. The pokemon movie was discretely put away and as the Labyrinth was put into the DVD player. Everyone settled down with popcorn and cola to watch as an extremely bad CG owl was flying around the opening credits.

"Do we, like, have to watch this?" Kitty groaned loudly.

"Yes."

"But professor..."

"We are going to watch the movie as scheduled."

She sighed and settled down against the cushion only to realise it was Kurt; she jumped back and into Scott who she blushed at. As the room was dark, nobody noticed though Kurt did roll his glowing yellow eyes.

----------------------

The Labyrinth was about an over dramatic girl, named Sarah, looking after her little half brother and then giving him away to the Goblin King by saying 'I wish the Goblin King would take you away, right now.' So a bunch of mad Muppet rejects – the goblins – stole the baby and she made a deal with the Goblin King, Jareth. If she reached the castle before the thirteenth hour then she would get little Toby back, if not, the Goblin King would turn him into a goblin.

There was much singing, the girl often acting like an idiot with really bad acting and the Muppet rejects kept stealing the show. It was unanimously decided that whoever wrote the Labyrinth must have definitely been high on something. Though they also agreed that David Bowie made a great Goblin King.

As it happened, the girl managed to miraculously save her little brother just in the nick of time, turn down the Goblin King (much to the girls disgust) and then have an overly happy ending about how great friendship is and lots more mad singing and reject Muppets.

There was a silence as the movie ended before the X-men burst out laughing and started to take the mick out of the various puppets, characters and the songs. Kurt took great delight in annoying Kitty until she hit him and told him to get lost and stop freaking her out.

Then John started to cry and everyone groaned, but not as much as Jean who had to take him to bed early. Everyone decided to call it a night and all warned Jean that if a certain baby woke them up, then she'd be suffering the consequences for a long time.

The red head looked at her little cousin before seething quietly. "You know, I really wish there was a Goblin King who would take you away right now." She closed the door and went to bed, thinking about what Scott would look like dressed in the spandex trousers of the Goblin King.
