A/N: Yes, I did not die, or give up this story, I just have been swamped with work and writing parts of my other stories but I decided to finish this chapter to prove I did not forget about it or die! I hope to get the next chapter out before the New Year! Hope you enjoy. And thanks to everyone who reviewed, as well, don't kill me for not spell checking, I will then maybe I'll edit this chapter if there are too many mistakes, but most might be accents.
The Son of Logan and Ororo: Yeah, I would like to read that, I think that sounds like a good idea. Jamie is cool, maybe I'll get him and X-23 together in my story later heehee.
Report: Well most of them there are reasons why they have huge family's. Wanda and Ray have a huge family cause Ray likes kids. Rogue and Remy do because well think about it, they wouldn't have that many opportunities to have sex, so they'd probably not use protection. Tabitha and Sam is obvious, Sam grew up with a huge family so he wants a huge family. Three is a normal family size so the rest are normal, other than Kitty/Lance, but Kitty wanted two daughters and Lance wanted a son, the last baby was unexpected. And most aren't trophy wives as you'll learn later. I'm sorry if you think it's too many OC's, didn't mean for it to seem that way, .
ThessalyD: Yeah, but you can always make smiley's like this . hehee. Or :)
X-TREM-X23: Well I didn't add Logan, cause I had no idea how old he is, and I must have forgotten Ororo and X-23, but both are in this chapter for a small bit. I think I might get Jamie and X-23 together, cause I could actually not think of anyone for Jamie and I think X-23 would be perfect, Jamie might be in not the next chapter but the chapter after that, X-23 has a small role in this chapter, but she might get bigger rules once everyone comes in the story.
kiwi's angel: So sorry I haven't updated in awhile but I've been so busy with my other stories and this chapter is a bit long and such and then school started, and now I'm rambling, I'll try to get the next chapter done before the New Year though.
linzer-b: Yeah it is supposed to be a lot of kids, I had actually thought of having another in the DaCosta family but I decided against it cause there were too many as it was, I'm glad you liked the detail I put in them, I had a few as original character ideas so it wasn't too hard to twist it into a daughter or son of the original X-Men or New Recruits. Yeah, I actually plan on having peoples powers expand or get them during the whole course of the summer. As well as the birth of Amara's next child and last child I added a bit about why some of the people chose where they lived and a bit about what they had been doing for like jobs and such.
Lance Avalanche Alvers: Thanks, I wish I could have gotton this done earlier for you guys but I hope you aren't mad it took awhile ::bites nails:: Thanks for reviewing!
Goofn1: Wow that is awesome of Kat's birthday being then, I actually picked mostly random dates, but yes, I don't know what they will name their son yet, but they will think of names in an upcoming chapter with a few other people.
Shippou1990: Thanks for reviewing and I shall try and get my updates more frequent.
Riderazzo: There shall be plenty of Lancitty, I love that coupling, and there will be more in future chapters, not too much in this chapter nor the next for people are arriving and such.
Spunkypippy: I'm adding more, and I hope it turns out well, it's just an idea, it doesn't really have a plot, but shh no one has to know that, unless I can think of one, or if other people think there's one.

Chapter Two
Arrivals and Surprises
Airplane - Lance and Kitty Alvers
Lance and Kitty had packed up and drove their van to the airport and boarded the plane that night at eight o'clock. They had put most of the luggage with everyone else's luggage and had a few carry on bags. Cindy and Kat sat besides Kitty; Lance and Jon sat behind them on the plane.
Kitty and Lance had stayed awake until Kat, Cindy, and Jon had fallen asleep. Then they too had fallen asleep and woke up in the morning. Kitty noticed Kat gone and Cindy was still asleep. She glanced back at Lance and saw he was asleep still as was Jon. A few minutes later Kat came back from the bathroom on the plane and took her seat next to her mother. She rebuckled her seatbelt and glanced at her mother.
"What time is it mom?" Kat asked as Kitty glanced at her watch.
"Only six." Kitty replied as she looked back at Lance who just woke up.
"Hey Kitty, Kat, is Cindy up?" Lance asked seeing both of their eyes looking back at him.
"Cindy's still asleep." Kitty said to her husband as an announcement came over the speakers.
"Please buckle your seatbelts for we are landing." The voice said, so Kitty made sure hers and Cindy's were buckled as Lance buckled his own and Jon's. Finally the plane had landed and Lance woke Jon up.
"Jon, wake up we're here." Lance said to him.
"Awesome!" Jon said as he unbuckled his seatbelt and jumped out of the seat. Kitty had woken up Cindy and they had grabbed the carry on luggage and left the plane. After they got off of the plane they had went and gotten their other luggage and stood at the airport sitting on a bench.
"Mommy what are we doing?" Cindy asked her mother.
"Waiting."
"For what?" Jon piped up.
"That." Lance said pointing to where Xavier rolled over.
"Who's that?" Jon and Cindy said at the same time as Xavier rolled up to them.
"Kitty, Lance, it's good to see you two, it's been a long time." Xavier said to them.
"Too long." Kitty said bending down and giving her old teacher a hug. When Kitty finished hugging him Lance shook his hand.
"That's Professor Xavier." Lance said to his son and daughters.
"I'm Kat, nice to meet you Professor X-X-"
"Just call me Professor X." Xavier said smiling at the young girl, recognizing the voice from the phone the other day.
"Alright Professor X." Kat beamed.
"This is Cindy." Kitty said pulling the young girl from behind her legs where she hid.
"And this is Jon." Lance said as Jon smiled at him.
"Everyone, Professor X is a telepath he can read minds and stuff." Kitty said to her children who got frightened expressions on their faces.
"Don't worry I won't read your minds." The professor said and added telepathically.
But I may send messages to you Kat smiled and Jon started looking around and Cindy hid behind Kitty's legs.
"So who else are we picking up?" Lance asked.
"Sam and Tabitha should be arriving shortly with their children, Scott and Jean are still at the institute preparing your rooms and tidying up. Bobby and Jubilee will arrive this after noon as well as maybe Rogue and Remy, I don't know how many stops their plane is taking, I couldn't get them a direct flight."
"Oh my god I like haven't seen Rogue in like forever!" Kitty said slipping into a slight Valley Girl accent. Xavier chuckled.
"Kurt and Amanda are arriving tomorrow as well as Amara and St. John and Rahne and Roberto, they are all out of the states. Ray and Wanda are arriving tonight hopefully. Logan's already there as is Hank and Ororo, we couldn't reach Evan anywhere and Jamie said something about a conference meeting he was in saying he'd call us back last night but he didn't. X-23 is also at the institute."
"This is going to be so much fun!" Kitty said grabbing a few bags of luggage.
"No I'll get them, Pretty Kitty, you gotta save your strength." Lance said bending down and picking up the bags, Jon grabbed some bags as well.
"Alright if you insist." Kitty said.
"Where's the car so we can put these inside." Lance asked.
"The limo is right over there." Charles Xavier said as Lance nodded and him and Jon strolled off with luggage and putting it inside. While Lance and Jon did that Kitty, Kat, Cindy, and Xavier talked and caught up and learned more about the children.
Airplane - Sam and Tabby GuthrieTabitha and Sam had boarded their own flight to New York the night earlier as well. They had packed up everything and Sam's mother drove them over in a van, dropping them off. The Guthrie family boarded the plane, which took off fast. Tabby, Jen, and Andrew sat behind Sam, Sami, and Tim, in the plane. After everyone had fallen asleep, Sam remained awake until he could no longer remain awake and then he drifted off into a short nap before being woken up by his wife.
"Sam, Sam, yo, Sammy boy." Tabby said, she was leaning forward and shaking his shoulder. Her older daughter turned around and looked at her mother.
"He's sleeping."
"I kinda figured." Tabby responded as Sam woke up.
"What ahre y'all doing?" Sam asked as he looked up seeing the seatbelt message on.
"Waking you up to tell you we're landing so you should get your seatbelt on and Tim's." Tabby said, she already had her own on and so did the others. Sam buckled Tim's and then his own and soon the plane had landed.
"Thank gawd." Tabby said unbuckling her seatbelt. "That was so long."
"Yeah, ya had ta sit there foah ovah an hour not doin' anahthang." Sam said jokingly to his wife.
"Oh shove it Sam." Tabby said playfully as she unbuckled Jen's seatbelt and woke up Andrew, Sam woke up Tim while Sami began to get the luggage.
"Hey, can someone get my carry-ons, I got my hands full with this one." Tabby said lifting up Jen into her arms. After a small argument between Andrew and Sami, the family had left the plane and gotten their other bags.
"So, now what?" Sami asked looking around the airport.
"Ah donno." Tim said jumping from the different colored tiles on the floor.
"Tim settle down." Tabby said as he walked back over to his family.
"Ain't thaht tha professuh?" Sam asked seeing a man in a wheel-chair who was bald.
"Oh my gawd! Lance, Kitty!" Tabby cried out running over to her friends, still holding young Jen and giving them both a huge hug as best as she could with Jen.
"Tabby!" Kitty said welcoming the embrace as did Lance who had tried to look macho with it. Sam followed slowly, grabbing most of the bags and the other kids, reluctantly followed.
"You cut your hair, looks good, aww Lancey grew out his mullet." Tabby said moving her hand to feel his hair. Tabby's hand was smacked away by Lance's as she grinned then looked at the professor hugging him as well. Sam shook Lance's hand and hugged Kitty and shook the Professor's hand too.
"Sam's hair is wow, short and looks good." Kitty said smiling as the southern boy blushed.
"Thanks, Ah guess." Sam said as Kitty noticed Jen in her arms.
"Aww she's so cute, how old?"
"Three, and getting too old to be picked up soon." Tabby said shifting positions as Sam put his hand on her shoulder.
"Here give 'er ta meh." Sam said as Tabby handed the still sleeping Jen to Sam. Kat came running up from near a limo and right to the others were, with Jon and Cindy trailing behind.
"Are these your kids then?" Tabby said looking at Kat, Cindy, and Jon.
"Yeah, and another's on the way." Kitty said as Tabby smiled and looked at Kit's stomach.
"How far along?"
"Not that far about two months or so." Kitty said smiling.
"So who ahre these people, Dad?" Sami said looking at her father.
"That's yoah motha an' Ah's friends, Kitty, who was wit' us, an' Lance who was wit' tha Brotherhood, which yoah motha was wit' foah awahle." Sam said as Sami nodded her head.
"Mom, who are these people?" Whined Jon from behind as Kitty giggled.
"Tabitha and Sam, they're friends of mine." Kitty said looking at Andrew.
"Now, I think we should go to the institute, and get you settled in, come on, you can put the luggage in with the Kitty and Lance's." Professor X said as Tabby grabbed a few of the bags, Lance helped her cause Sam was carrying Jen. After they all got inside, the limo driver drove them to the Xavier Institute For Gifted Youngsters.
Xavier Institute For Gifted Youngsters
As the limo neared the gates Sami looked out the windows and started hitting Tim. Tim looked at her as she pointed out the window. They saw a huge gate and behind that a huge mansion!
"That's where you lived, ma?" Sami said to her mother as she nodded her head.
"Yeah, least for a bit then I moved out and moved back in." Tabby said remembering moving to the Brotherhood house then leaving and living on the streets and going back. Sam chuckled at Tabby as did Kitty.
"Yoah motha thought thaht place was so borin'" Sam said to his sons and daughters.
"Hey dad, where'd you live if you didn't live here?" Jon asked Lance looking up at him.
"Well a different house, not as glamorous but it was fine as long as I was with my friends." Lance said remembering the boarding house they lived in.
"Yes, that got rebuilt, did you know that?" Xavier said.
"It did?" Lance asked sounding slightly disappointed.
"Aww.." Tabby said remembering the dilapidated form it was once.
"Yes, I could show you later." Xavier said to them as he punched in his gate code and it opened for the limo as it drove in. It pulled up at the front and the driver helped Xavier get out and into his wheelchair. The rest of the kids and adults got out grabbing anything they brought in and the luggage.
Sami and Kat ran to the top of the stairs and rang the doorbell laughing as a man who looked to be in his early forties opened the door. He had black hair and brown eyes and stared down at the kids.
"Oh great more kids." The man said in a rough voice as he saw the other children besides their parents. Tabby looked up at her daughter and Kitty's and saw standing behind them Logan.
"Badger!" Tabby said running up the stairs as the two girls moved to the side as Tabby hugged Logan. This caused Kitty to look up and see Logan.
"Logan!" Kitty said as she ran up the steps and joined in hugging Logan.
"Haven't you learned my name yet, Blondie?" Logan said to Tabby as she giggled.
"It's your nickname." Tabby said as he nodded.
"Let me guess, that's your daughter." Logan said pointing at Sami.
"Yeah how'd you guess?"
"She looks a lot like you and Sam, so you two are-"
"Yup." Tabby said as he nodded and turned to Kitty.
"That your daughter."
"Yeah."
"With- Lance."
"Yeah, I remember you refused to come to the wedding." Kitty said to him as he growled. "He's different now Logan, and I'm glad I married him." Kitty said as her daughter looked perplexed and Lance walked up the stairs carrying luggage with Sam and all the other kids behind.
"Logan, how are you, I'd shake your hands but they're full."
"Meh ta." Sam said as Logan looked at the two young men.
"Any luggage I can help you with?" He asked as Sam nodded.
"Can ya take some from meh?" Logan walked to Sam and grabbed the luggage as everyone moved to the foyer. Jen had been up by then and had walked so neither Sam nor Tabby had to carry her.
In the foyer all of the kids stared up at the huge walls and the decorations on the walls. A second later a red-head walked down the stairs and saw everyone and turned back and started going back upstairs.
"Who was that?" Sami asked watching the girl disappear, Logan groaned.
"That would be Red's daughter, Rachel." He said as Tabby laughed.
"So Shades and Red did do it, any other children?" Tabby asked as Logan rolled his eyes.
"Hey there." Said Jean as she walked down the stairs and into the foyer where everyone stood.
"I wonder if she's still as stuck-up after she got laid." Tabby whispered to Sam, Kitty, and Lance, Logan heard it and coughed as the other three giggled.
I heard that Tabitha Jean's voice inside her head rang.
"Hey Jean!" Kitty sad to her walking over and giving her a hug. "Where's Scott?" Kitty added looking around.
"Right here." Scott said entering the foyer through the kitchen. After a bit of an introduction of their kids names and ages; Scott lead Sam and Tabby to their room and Jean lead Kitty and Lance to their room. The kids remained in the foyer with Logan as Xavier wheeled to his office.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logan stared at the seven kids before him, he hoped they weren't just like their parents. He sighed as he saw the one walk over to him while the rest interacted with the others.
"Why do you look so glum?" She said to him, 'Sami, I think that is, yeah, as annoying as her mother' Logan thought to himself.
"Well 'Ro should be here with ya not me." Logan said as someone entered the front door of the institute, Logan looked up and saw X-23 come inside.
"What are all these kids doing here?" X-23 asked as Logan laughed.
"Today starts the reunion summer."
"Oh right, so who are these?"
"Who are you?" Kat asked turning to her.
"X-23."
"That's not a name." Jon said to her as she scowled.
"It was the name I was given so it is a name." She said as Logan sighed, it was going to be a long summer.
"So what does she do?" Asked Kat.
"This." X-23 said as she unsheathed her claws, Kat merely rolled her eyes.
"What about you?" Kat said looking at Logan, who unsheathed his claws but having one more than X-23.
"Is she you're daughter?" Andrew asked as Tim elbowed him.
"She can't be he's like forty and she's like in her thirties." Tim said as Logan let out a laugh.
"I'm not in my forties, bubs, but I am not her father." He said as Tim scratched his head and looked at Logan.
"Well then-" Tim began as X-23 cut him off.
"We're kinda related, but it's complicated." She said looking at the seven kids. "So, I'm scared to ask, but what are all your names?"
"Well, I'm Sami, and those are my brothers, Tim and Drew, and that's my sister Jen." Said the blonde pointing at her siblings respectively.
"And I'm Kat, and Jon is my brother, and Cindy is my sister." Kat said pointing at her brother and sister.
"So who are the parents?" X-23 asked.
"Tabitha and Sam for Sami's bunch, and Kitty and Lance for Kat's bunch." Logan replied looking over the kids again.
"I might be walking into a danger zone, Logan, but they have powers don't they?"
"I suppose so," Logan said glaring at the kids, "Okay who has powers?" Logan asked them. Sami, Kat, Jon, Tim, and Drew raised their hands.
"Okay, that's quite a lot." X-23 said to them.
"All right, you better not burn down the institute." Logan said to them as Sami laughed.
"We won't burn it down…"
"What are your powers exactly?" X-23 asked glaring at the kids.
"Well, I can produce well kinetically charged bombs, and a force field to protect me from anything!" Sami said to them as Logan thought 'Her mother's powers, and her mothers personality great, guess that's also Sam's power with the force field.' Logan thought as Kat began to explain her powers.
"My mom says I have corporal intangibility, but I don't know what that means, I uhh, go through things like my mom." She finished up smiling.
"I can make earthquakes like my father, but I uhh get headaches from them." Jon revealed as Logan nodded in sympathy, the kid was only eight so it made sense.
"I make bombs, different kinds, I can make ones like Sami, and I can make smoke bombs and other kinds." Tim said to them smiling devilishly. 'Great gotta watch the Guthrie kids.' Logan thought to himself, watching X-23's reaction to their powers.
"I kinda just got my powers, the easiest way to explain them is a force field protects me when I blast off of the ground." Little Drew said to them.
"And he's a klutz." Tim added elbowing him.
"Hey, stop it Tim."
"Hey where are Cindy and Jen?" Asked Sami looking around.
"They're in the kitchen." X-23 said as she left to go fetch them.
"So what are we doing here?" Jon complained.
"I'm bored." Drew said sitting on his suitcase.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So how have you and Sam been, Tabitha?" Scott asked as he picked up some of their bags. Tabby grabbed a few as well as Sam as they headed into the elevator.
"We've been good, you know how it is."
"Yah, Scott, what about yah?"
"Jean and I have been well."
"How many kids?" Tabby asked as the elevator doors opened.
"Two."
"Names, ages, the jist of it?" Tabby persisted as they exited the elevator and headed down the hallway where they made their room.
"Nate's seventeen, and Rachel is thirteen."
"Weh saw Rachel." Sam said as Scott peered at him through his red sunglasses.
"Really?"
"Yah, sheh walked down tha stairs then turned 'round an' walked back up 'em." He said as Scott laughed.
"Yeah, Rachel isn't too keen on having more people around and with accents."
"Aww shucks." Sam said as Scott laughed.
"Here's your room, hope you like it." Scott said as he set down a bag and opened the door. The three of them walked inside the huge room decorated plainly with two dressers, a desk, and a king sized bed with two night stands. It also had a couch and a chair inside and a desk chair besides the desk
"Nice, you guys still got style." Tabby said putting down the luggage and lying down on the bed. Sam laughed at his wife and brought the bags to the center of the room.
"Where will tha kids beh stayin?"
"In the Children's Quarters, it's the hallway besides this, we're not sure who will be sharing with who." Scott admitted to the two.
"Okay, that's good." Sam said as he brought the bags Tabitha dropped to the center with the others.
"So, Sam, Tab, when did you guys get married?" Scott asked sitting down in a chair near the door.
"Sixteen years ago." Tabby said with a laugh.
"Who was invited?" Scott persisted.
"Jus' mah famahly." Sam said to Scott, "Weh had ta keep it small, yah know?" Sam said as Scott nodded his head.
"What about.." Scott let it hang as Tabitha understood what he meant.
"None of my family was there, Dad's in jail last I heard of him, and, mom's well," Tabby let out a small laugh, "Mom could be better if she was alive." Tabby revealed as Scott nodded apologetically.
"Sorry Tabz."
"No it's fine Scott."
"Hey yah called him Scott."
"Whaddaya know, Slym, I called ya your real name." She said as Scott laughed.
"Well, I'll leave you two to unpack, I think I'll go try and find Rachel and Nate, get them to meet your kids as well as Kitty's." Scott said as he shut the door and left the two alone together.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kitty, how have you been?" Jean asked as they walked up the stairs, Jean levitating most of the luggage with her telekinesis.
"Great, Lance and I had an amazing honey moon."
"I bet." Jean said with a sly smile.
"Yeah, and how have you and Scott been?" Lance added as they walked down the hallway.
"Good, very good. Two children, whom you will meet when they come around." Jean said to the two who nodded.
"What are their names?" Kitty asked.
"Nate and Rachel, but you saw Rachel. Rachel is what, two years older than Kat?"
"Yeah, thirteen then?" Lance asked as Jean opened the door to their room.
"Yeah, she is thirteen and here's your room." Jean said to them as the three walked in a room similar to Tabitha and Sam's. "The children are going to be in the hall next to this and will share rooms." Jean said sensing their question.
"So what powers do your kids have?" Lance asked as he put down the suitcases he carried as Jean stacked the others besides those.
"The same powers." Jean said with a chuckle, "They have telepathy, and some telekinesis, quite a handful." She said as the others nodded.
"I'll bet, but that has to be cool, you going to have any other children?" Kitty asked.
"Nah, Scott and I are happy with our son and daughter."
"Yeah, so are Lance and I as soon as we have this one." Kitty said motioning to her stomach. "I won't have more than four children." Kitty said as Lance blushed slightly.
"Yeah, after our first two, ones, I told Scott no more." Jean said with a chuckle, "They were both born in the institute."
"Really?"
"Yeah, in Scott and my room." Jean said to them as Kitty smiled.
"That's so cool!" She added to her as Jean nodded.
"So, why did you two leave the institute after you got married?"
"We wanted to have a place of our own." Kitty responded to Jean as Lance nodded his head.
"Well, why didn't you just get an apartment in Bayville?"
"Well, Kitty's family lived in Illinois so they helped us out in getting a house." Lance replied as Jean nodded her head slowly.
"Yeah, my parents were like totally supportive unlike Logan." Kitty added as Jean shook her head understanding.
"Oh well, I should go, I'll let you two unpack." Jean said as she left the room shutting the door behind her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"They're here." Rachel said as she paced around in her brother's room. Nate watched his younger sister walk around his room and rolled from his back to his stomach.
"They can't be that bad, what'd they look like?"
"Well there were two blonde adults and two brunette adults. Then there was a lot of children."
"A lot?" Nate said raising his eyebrow.
"Seven, I think. And that's only with two families, there is going to be so many people." Rachel complained.
"I don't think it'll be that bad, as long as I don't share my room, and if there are some hot girls." Rachel rolled her eyes at her brother's comments. There was a knock on the door and Nate and Rachel looked at each other.
It's father. Rachel sent telepathically to him.
Yeah, he is looking for us.
Why?
He wants us to meet the other kids.
Not now. Rachel sent back as Nate telekinetically opened the door.
"Nate-"
"We know, not now though, later." Nate said to his father who shrugged.
"Yeah, dad, later, much." She said as Nate telekinetically shut the door.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few hours later Ororo had taken the children upstairs, after a few quick calls to everyone they figured out who would share rooms accordingly by age and gender. Jen and Cindy were taken to a room to be shared with Emily Drake who would be arriving shortly as Bobby had said their plane was landing when they called.
Sami was taken to a room where she would share with two other girls and Drew was taken to a similar set-up. Jon was put in a smaller room that he would share with one other boy, Will Crisp who would arrive later. Kat was taken to a similar room as Jon to share with Wendy Crisp she learned. Tim was taken to a room like Sami and Drew; it was larger which meant he'd share it with two other people.
After the kids got settled in their rooms they all went into the parlor where they began to play games with each other. After their lunch the doorbell rang, and the adults who were in the living room got up to answer the door. Kitty and Tabby darted to the door ahead of the rest and swung it open to see Jubilee, who looked sleep-deprived holding onto her newly born daughter. Bobby stood besides her with luggage at his sides as well as two girls.
"Jubilee!" Tabby said hugging the younger girl being careful to not hug too tight or hurt the baby. "Hey Sammy; Bobby and Jubes are here." Tabby said as Kitty hugged Bobby and they switched. The two allowed the Drake family to enter helping with the bags. When they went inside everyone exchanged greetings and such.
Jubilee introduced her children as the rest of them entered, minus the stubborn Rachel and Nathan. After the hello's, Jean took Bobby and Jubilee to the room they would use with their new born while Scott took Andrea to the room she would share with Janet and Amelia when they arrived. He also took Emily to the room she shared with Jen and Cindy.
After the Drake's had unpacked the door rung again and the Crisp's entered as well. The mothers and fathers all greeted the family as well as a few of the older children, but still not Nate and Rachel. Ororo again lead the children to their rooms, as the adults were lead to a room by Scott and Jean. The rest of the adults settled back down in the recreation room while waiting for the others to get back. The children had eagerly begun to play, or follow people upstairs.
In the Recreation room Cindy, Emily, and Jen were playing nicely on the ground. Sami was no where to be seen as Tim and Drew were playing around. As well, Jon, Kat, and Andrea followed the rest upstairs hearing that their roommates had arrived. Nate and Rachel were still unseen, and they would soon learn they would be getting roommates as well.
Ororo took Sean, the oldest to Nate's room and explained that Nate wasn't too fond of sharing a room but to not let that scare him. She also explained that to Sarah as she let Sarah settle into Rachel's room. Kat showed Wendy to her room, as did Jon to Will. That left Ororo, Andrea, and Janet in the group. Ororo led them to their room and told them to unpack then come downstairs once they finished, she had also told everyone else that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Downstairs the adults were chatting away to each other. Talking about their kids, what they've been up to and just getting to know what they have been doing ever since they left the institute. Eventually Wanda and Ray came down the stairs together smiling brightly.
"So when did you two get together?" Tabitha asked seeing them sit down.
"Well we started talking a lot more and then he finally asked me out and I guess you can say I fell for him." Wanda said as Tabby nodded her head.
"That's so romantic." Kitty said as Jubilee and Jean nodded their heads in agreement.
"Aww your daughter is so cute." Wanda said to Jubilee looking at the newly born baby.
"Her name is Erika she was born yesterday."
"Wow, oh my god." Kitty said as Tabby's mouth hung open wide.
"And you took her here?" Jean asked, very surprised.
"Yeah." Jubilee said. As the woman talked of the children, then men were talking about what they did for a living.
"Well, I work in a business factory." Bobby said to the men whom nodded their heads.
"I work with children." Ray said, "It's like a school but there aren't that many things for the kids to do other than school work, and I'm trying to get them to do more things." Ray added.
"Like what?" Scott asked.
"Sports for the boys, gymnastics for girls, it's hard though." Ray said.
"Sounds like you enjoy it though."
"Oh yeah, I do, I love children, if you couldn't tell from how many we've had."
"Wow, what happened ta tha boy Ah knew who was such a hot head?" Sam said with a smirk.
"Wanda helped me change a bit." Ray said with a smile.
"I know what you mean, I quickly grew up thanks to Jubes." Bobby said with a smirk.
"Sam probably calmed Tabitha down." Lance said as the men laughed.
"And Scott an' Jean are alreadah perfect." Sam said making Scott blush.
"Kitty worked on Lance well." Scott sai as the men let out a laugh.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While the adults were conversing, Sami had wandered off looking for someone her age, or maybe she just wanted to explore, she wasn't too sure. She continued down a hallway where she heard a noise. She listened carefully and then walked towards the noise stealthily, she peaked around the corner and saw a girl with red hair and a boy with brown hair and white streaks in it, he looked older and she looked younger. The boy looked tough wearing a black shirt that was tight and showed off his muscles, while the girl wore a pale blue tank top and tight khaki pants.
"Hello?" Sami said walking into the room, Rachel jumped in the air as Nate laughed.
"Who are you?" Demanded Rachel trying to cover up her surprise, she hadn't sensed her at all.
"Sami, ya must be Rachel and Nate, right?" She said, as the two of them nodded their heads.
"What are you doing back here?" Rachel demanded as Nate chuckled, he looked over Sami, starting at her blonde hair moving his eyes slowly down her face looking into her bright blue eyes. His eyes shifted down to her pale pink tank that showed off her large bust. His eyes traveled down to her stomach then to her hips and saw her black mini-skirt with fishnets. His eyes continued down her legs finishing off at her knee high boots.
"Don't mind my sister, she is annoyed at the fact of more children being around." Nate said as his eyes quickly traveled back up her body, Sami blushed slightly.
"Shut up." Rachel said turning to her brother angrily.
"Ahem." Sami said as Rachel blushed a bit forgetting she was there.
"So, you found us, so you must at least be half-intelligent." Rachel concluded out loud.
"Thanks, glad ta see you think Ah'm smart, even with an accent." Sami said with a small smirk. Nate laughed with Sami and Rachel turned and glared at her brother.
"Anyway, how old are you two?" Sami asked them as Rachel sighed.
"Thirteen."
"Seventeen, what about you, you look older than Rachel."
"Fifteen, so yes I am older than her." Rachel sighed.
"Okay, well you seem okay so far, just don't talk with that accent."
"Sorry, ma said not to do that either, it just comes out at times, don't know." Sami said as Rachel smiled.
"So, why aren't you with the others?" Nate asked.
"There are younger than me, well other than Sean who just came, he's my age, but he's unpacking right now, he shares his room with you, Nate, and Sarah shares with you Rachel."
"Great." Both children complained.
"Anyway, if you don' count them closest to my age would be Kat and my brother, but you guys are more my age and everything, but I was just wondering around."
"Oh." Nate said with a smile, "Well you're pretty enough, so I shall allow you to be in my company." He said smiling widely, Rachel rolled her eyes and Sami blushed a little bit.
"So, who's your mother and father?" Rachel asked.
"Tabitha and Samuel Guthrie." Sami replied, "And you are Jean and Scott Summers daughter and son, right?"
"Correct." Nate replied.
"So what kind of power do you have?" Rachel asked.
"Well Ah can make these bombs." Sami said as she formed a bomb in her left hand, "And I have this force field that I can put up so I can't get hurt." Sami said as she closed her first around the small bomb and reabsorbed it with ease.
"Does your force field by any change allow you to not be sensed by telepaths?" Nate asked curiously.
"Ah don't know, Ah've never been around a telepath before."
"Well, Rachel and I are both telepaths, and we couldn't sense you coming, so your force field might have something to do with that."
"But Ah didn't have it up." Sami said, confused.
"Maybe we just weren't paying attention, Nate, we could have dropped our guard."
"Maybe." Nate said, his blue eyes staring at Sami. "Anyway, now we know her, and I'm glad we do."
"So what do you guys do around here for fun?" Sami asked changing the subject.
"Well, there's not too much to do, but there's a mall, and a pool, and many other things." Rachel said as Nate smirked.
"I think the Danger Room is fun."
"Sounds dangerous." Sami said as Nate shrugged.
"Not too dangerous for us, maybe you can try it out with us."
"That'd be awesome."
"So, you staying the whole summer?" Asked Rachel.
"Yeah, from what Ma and Pa have said."
"Well then, you can experience it definitely." Nate said with a grin.
"So, what do you guys want to do now?" Sami asked as Nate looked around.
"Dinner is going to be soon." Rachel said.
"How do you know?" Sami asked curiously.
"Well, I can hear projected thoughts of hunger." She responded nonchalantly.
"Yeah, that's why I was looking for a clock." Nate said then looked at Sami's wrist.
"Oh Ah have a watch, it's six."
"Wow already." Nate said, then he received a telepathic message from Charles Xavier telling him that dinner was ready.
"Dinner's ready." Nate mumbled as Rachel nodded her head.
"Time to face the music, so how many kids are here, not counting us three." Rachel asid to Sami.
"Well there's Tim, Drew, Jen, Kat, Jon, and Cindy. Then Andrea Emily and Erika, but she was born yesterday. Then Sean, Sarah, Wendy, Will, and Janet, so far that makes it fourteen, not counting us three, and counting little Erika." Sami said to them as Nate nodded his head and Rachel sighed loudly.
"Great… and we still have four families to come." Rachel said out loud. Nate chuckled and moved across the room and held out his arm for Sami and Rachel to take.
"My ladies, let's go to dinner." Nate said as Sami took his arm as did Rachel and the three headed down to the dining room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the dinner table already seated were most of the children. The children sat at a different table while the adults sat at the other table. The children's table had down the right side, Cindy, Jen, Andrea, Will, Kat, Tim, Sarah, then Sean. Down the left side starting at the same end was Emily, Janet, Drew, Jon, Wendy, then three seats where Rachel, Nate, and Sami would sit. And they did sit there once they had arrived. At the adult table Xavier sat at the head and then down his left sat Ororo, Hank, Jean, Kitty, Lance, Wanda, and then Ray. On Xavier's right sat Logan, Scott, X-23, Bobby, Jubilee, Tabby, and Sam. After the dinner, most of the people split up going different directions.
"Dad, mom, taking Sami and Rachel to the mall, back at ten." Nate called as he telekinetically grabbed his keys off of the hook and grabbed his sister and Sami's arms and headed to the garage.
"Least they are getting along." Scott said sensing Jean's worry.
"Yeah, but Nate should be getting to know Sean, and Rachel should get to know Sarah."
"Don't worry, Jean, our son and daughter are easy to get along with." Ray said to them as he helped clear the table.
"Yeah, Sarah gets along with most people."
"Rachel can be difficult to get along with." Jean replied to Wanda, "She thinks she's better than most, but she is a sweet girl at times."
"Don't worry, Sarah is intelligent, she should win Rachel over." Ray said then Jean nodded.
"I hope you're right, what about Sean, he's a few years younger than Nate, and Nate hates sharing his room." Jean said.
"Sean, he's emotional and a hot-head at times." Wanda said that made Jean chuckle.
"Nate can get like that when he's not acting macho."
"Yeah, but they I think would get along. I mean maybe Nate can give Sean some pointers with his telekinesis." Wanda said as Ray and Scott laughed.
"Let's hope they don't kill each other first." Scott said as the four of them continued to work on clearing the table.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sean, wait up." Sarah called running up to her older brother.
"What do you want?" Sean asked as she shrugged her shoulders.
"There is no one to talk to here."
"You can say that again."
"So, what do you think of your room-mate?"
"I barely met him at dinner, he kept talking to the girl across from me, what about yoru room-mate."
"She seemed engrossed in conversation with her brother and Sami I think her name was."
"Yeah, the blonde babe?" He said as Sarah hit his arm.
"Ow, what she was hot."
"Whatever, I hope there are some guys my age around here."
"Right now they are all below eleven." Sean said with a sigh as he reached the library with his sister.
"I know what's with that?
"Well, form what I heard from Ray talking with Ororo, that there should be a few more older kids arriving."
"How old?" Sarah perked up.
"I think Ororo said this one family had a girl that was sixteen and a guy that was thirteen."
"Yes!" Sarah squealed as Sean chuckled and he used his telekinesis to bring himself a book.
"And another family will have a girl about my age." Sean said smirking.
"What you got there?" Asked Sarah peaking over at the book he held in his hand.
"You want it? Just some random book, I know Dad said he liked this one book, got to find it."
"Oh this book looks interesting." Sarah said as she finished reading the back.
"Well, have a nice hunt, I'm going to my room to read." She said, and with that she exited the library leaving Sean to search through the books.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How does it look that everyone is settling in?" Kitty asked Sam as she sat down besie him on a couch in the recreation room.
"Well, it looks ta meh that Sami is fittin' in fahne. Tim seems ta lahke hangin' wit' yoah Kat an' Wendy. Then Drew is wit' yoah Jon and Will last Ah saw him, an' Jen seems ta beh lovin' being with Emily and Cindy." Sam said as Bobby and Jubilee entered the room, Jubilee had just put Erika to sleep and had a baby monitor with her.
"Hey." Bobby said to Kitty and Sam as he plopped down in a chair and Jubilee sat beside Kitty.
"So do you guys think your kids are fitting in?" Kitty asked looking at Bobby and Jubilee, to her it seemed most of the kids looked happy.
"Well Erika is a lot quietr than either Emily or Andrea was." Jubilee said with a smile, her hair was a mess and she pulled it up in a pony tail.
"Andrea seems fine, and Emily adores Cindy and Jen." Bobby responded as Kitty clapped in excitement.
"I know, Cindy looks so happy with your kids." Kitty replied as Sam nodded his head.
"What tahme should thay all go ta bed? Ah know Ah usuallah put mah Jen ta bed aroun' eight, but sheh is a year youngah than both of yoahs."
"No, eight was bedtime at our house." Jubilee resoponded, "Heck even Andrea went to her room at eight, although we saw her light on until nine."
"Yeah, Lance and I put Cindy to sleep around eight, some nights eight-thirty if the family was doing something."
"Well this is good, all our kids get to bed the same time and they all share the same room, which makes sense." Bobby responded.
"What about Andrea?" Asked Jubilee to Bobby more than anyone else.
"Well, maybe a half hour later." Bobby said as she nodded her head.
"We'd have to ask Wanda."
"So guys, how have you two been, Bobby, Jubilee?" Asked Kitty as Jubilee smiled.
"We're fine, living in California, when my parents had died I inherited all the money and well, we're living in the house I had grown up in." Jubilee revealed.
"Yeah, her parents were rich."
"Bobby!" Jubilee exclaimed as he laughed.
"Well they were, but it's amazing, especially in the summer, or year round, heck its California, beaches all around and everything!" Bobby exclaimed.
"Yeah, we took the girls to the shore every other weekend it seemed. They love it there."
"Weh all shoulda kept in touch bettah." Sam said as the three nodded their heads agreeing.
"After this summer, I'll e-mail you guys, or write, or something!" Kitty said as they laughed. "Yeah, maybe we can have our children visit each other, cause they are like practically cousins cause of how we grew up."
"Yeah, that's right Kit, but that means like incest for Sam and Tabby and Bobby and I."
"Well you know what I mean." Kitty said as they laughed.
"Yeah we do." Bobby said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So what do you want to play?" Asked Kat to her two friends, Tim and her roommate Wendy.
"Well, back in Kentucky Ah used ta chase tha chickens around, but Ma always yelled at meh." Tim said as the two girls laughed.
"That sounds like fun!" Little Wendy said as she put her finger to her chin in thought. Her blue eyes darted around the room they were in.
"This house is huge." Kat said looking at her two companions.
"Yeah, it's lahke three tahmes as big as mah farm house." Tim said looking around. He glanced at Kat, she was sticking her head through a wall and looking into the room beside the room they were in. She pulled her head back and stood up straight, her hands fiddling around with the edge of her pink shirt while she looked from Tim to Wendy. Wendy stood still, a smile on her face while her eyes revealed her fear, although Kat didn't understand it.
"Let's go outside." Wendy suggested to the three of them and they agreed walking out the front.
"Ah love being outside, you're so free." Tim said jumping off of the stairs in front of the institute's doors. He landed squarely on his feet from practice doing the same thing. He formed a small bomb in his hand and he chucked it in the air, allowing it to explode causing a thick gray smoke to cover the area.
"Tim?" Wendy called out as she slowly descended the stairs, her hand held in Kat's.
"Hey Time, where are you?" Kat asked.
"Here." He said running behind her and pulling on her shirt as well as Wendy's.
"Hey!" The girls cried out as he ran down the stairs and tripped at the bottom skidding on his knees, which were showing through his pants, which had holes in the knees. After a few seconds the smoke cleared away and the girls saw Tim walking around on the ground below them. Kat ran over to him followed by Wendy and the girls tackled him to the ground as they laughed and rolled in the grass.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a sitting room upstairs sat Jon and Will. The two of them were quite bored and didn't know what to do with themselves. Jon was lying on a couch while Will's calves were on the chair's seat and his upper body was on the ground with his thighs against the side of the chair.
"Jeez, where's Dad when you need him." Jon complained, he was starting to get a headache.
"What do you mean? I can't be that boring!" Will said as Jon smiled.
"Nah, it's just that I get headaches from my powers, and well I'm starting to get one."
"Oh, what is you power anyway?" Asked Will.
"Like my father I can make earthquakes. What about you powers?"
"I can negate a mutants powers for a limited time. Hey I got a great idea." Will said as he moved his legs and did a back flip and looked over at Jon.
"What is your idea?" Jon asked curiously.
"Well, since your headaches come form you power, and my power is to negate other mutants powers, then maybe I can negate your power so that you don't get headaches."
"It's worth a shot, what do I have to do?" Jon asked sitting up on his knees on the couch.
"Nothing just let me concentrate for a few seconds on you." Will said as he shut his eyes and concentrated on Jon and his energy's. After a few seconds Jon felt a tingling sensation and his headache stopped.
"Well my headache is gone…" Jon said as Will smiled.
"Try using your power."
"Kay." Jon said as he tried to make a low rumble but couldn't. "Excellent it's not working!"
"Yea! I'm so smart." The two young boys high-fived each other then Jon curiously asked,
"When will my power come back?"
"I don't know, it kind of comes and goes, last time I had stopped my mother's powers for a day, and the least amount I've stopped someone's powers with would be three hours. I can't restart your powers though." Will said with a shrug.
"Oh that's okay, I just wanted to know how long I would have being headache free."
"Oh, well you got at least three hours, then we would have to go to bed anyway, what time do you normally go to bed?" Will asked as Jon thought for a second.
"Usually I go early cause I have a headache."
"Oh well, I usually go to bed around nine, nine thirty if I get lucky." Will said as Jon nodded his head.
"Sweet I guess I can stay up as long as I want as long as you're also up." Jon said excitedly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While most people were upstairs or on the first floor there were two adults downstairs in the sub-basement level one in a small room hidden off from everything else that was furnished with a few couches and chairs. The two adults in the room were talking quietly and sitting on the one couch. Tabitha looked toward the door, hearing a noise then settled down after not seeing a thing.
"So Lance, how're you and Kitty, I haven't seen you guys since the Wedding." Tabby said as Lance shrugged.
"Just went to Kitty's home state of Illinois, what about you, it's been a long time."
"Well, Sam and I got married up in New York and that's where Sami was born actually, then we had wanted to take a honeymoon so we left Sami with Sam's family and we left. Then we came back and decided to live with his mother until we could afford our own house. And well we got our own house with a small farmhouse as well and have lived in Kentucky ever since." Tabby quickly summed up.
"What about your father?" Lance asked as Tabby shrugged.
"What about him?"
"Did he walk you down your aisle at your wedding?" Lance asked, remembering how Kitty's father had walked her down the isle.
"No."
"Did Sam's father?"
"Sam's father's been dead."
"Oh, well…"
"I walked down it myself, Lance, let's not talk about me anymore, what have you been doing?"
"For a job? Kitty's father got me a job in his factory. I'm a manager. Makes good money, but it's boring. Kitty also works."
"Yeah she told me about it. Well that sounds good then, so you're expecting another then?" Tabby said as he nodded his head.
"I hope it's another boy, we have two girls already."
"Well, least you're not like Bobby and Jubilee whom have three girls. Jubilee said she doesn't want to have another kid but when I was talking to Boby he said he wants a son. So Jubes might end up having another kid."
"Kitty said she wanted two girls, so I had said okay, but then I wanted at least a son, and this was kind of just happened pregnancy type thing."
"Oh, well Sam wants a big family, having lived up having his own big family, so I don't think we're settled with kids yet. I think he wants to have seven, which I'll be exhausted I mean we already have four, I think that's fine but I remember on our honeymoon he talked about having seven or eight kids."
"Wow, that's a lot." Lance said as Tabby nodded her head.
"That's what I said but Sam is very persuasive." Lance laughed.
"Anyway, I'm actually expecting another kid, but hush hush about it, I don't want to tell Sam yet."
"Really!?" Lance said sounding surprised and excited.
"Yeah, but don't tell anyone, cause I want it as a surprise for him, I think I'll tell everyone tomorrow at dinner."
"How far along are you?"
"Sam as Kitty, two months."
"Wow."
"Yeah I know, but please don't even tell Kit."
"I won't, I promise Tabz." Lance said hugging Tabby.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You guys are so lucky." Came the voice of little Janet as she talked to Drew and Andrea.
"What do you mean?" Andrea said as she looked at Janet carefully.
"Both of you have powers, and so do all my brothers and sisters. But I don't."
"You should get a power soon then, my little sisters don't have powers either."
"But you do!"
"Mah little sistah doesn't have a powah, but my oldah brothah and sistah do, actually Ah just got this powah two months ago." Drew said with a smile. "And Ah got in trouble cause Ah knocked down a tree." He said blushing.
"I got my powers last year, I was six and I wanted ice to skate on so bad I made my own ice on our driveway, Mommy and Daddy didn't like that too much." Andrea said as the two others laughed.
"What powahs do yoah oldah brothahs and sistahs have?" Drew asked Janet as he shifted in his position to be laying on his stomach propping himself up on his elbows.
"Well," Began Janet as she sat Indian style on the rug, "Sean has telekinesis, Sarah has electricity, Wendy has hex bolts, and Will has the ability to negate other powers."
"Wow, what are your parents powers?" Asked Andrea from on the couch looking down at the two.
"Electricity, and Mom has hex bolts and this blue thing that negates powers of mutants."
"Hmm, no idea what yoah powahs can beh." Drew said thinking of his powers and his sisters and everyone else's in his family.
"Well I think Emily will get to make fireworks like Mommy." Andrea said. "It'd make sense since I got Daddy's powers."
"What about Erika?" Asked Janet.
"No idea she's just a baby though." Andrea said forgetting about her sister. Andrea absentmindedly formed an ice ball in her hand and threw it up in the air a couple of times.
"Wow." Janet said as Andrea looked over and dropped the iceball on the carpet.
"Whoops." Andrea said and she pushed the iceball under the couch and Andrea and Drew laughed.
"Yoah luckah, Ah mean wit' meh, Ah blast inta thangs and knock 'em down." Drew said as Janet sighed.
"Least you got a power." She said while pouting.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a sitting room downstairs, Cindy, Emily, and Jen played together quietly. The three of them were playing with the blocks building a mini-town. Cindy was designing the buildings with red blocks while Emily got green and Jen had yellow.
"There are more red blocks." Little Emily complained.
"Nuh uh." Cindy said to her.
"Yeah there are." Emily said as Jen watched the two older girls fight.
"No, there are more green blocks."
"No there aren't you have way more."
"Fine then." Cindy said getting up and knocking down Emily's buildings.
"You did not just do that!" Emily cried out getting up and knocking down Cindy's buildings. Soon the two began to fight and Jen watched them. She stood up gingerly holding two yellow blocks and tapped both girls on the shoulders.
"What do you want?" They both said as she held up her yellow blocks.
"Do you want some of muh blocks?" She asked as the two feuding girls stopped and smiled.
"Oh Jen." Cindy said taking the one yellow block while Emily took the other. The three girls began to play again until each of their mother's came into the room.
"Jen, bedtime." Tabitha said reaching down and picking up her youngest daughter.
"You too Cindy." Kitty said as she took Cindy's hand.
"Oh no you don't Emily." Jubilee said as Emily tried to escape the room. "Your turn too." She said picking up her daughter. The three mothers's carried or walked them to their room and put them in their beds and kissed their heads.
"Night night, Jen, Emily, Cindy." Tabby said as she left the room. Kitty and Jubilee said goodnight to each of the kids and left following Tabby.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eventually all of the kids were in their own beds asleep and Nate, Rachel, and Sami had come home from the mall holding bags of clothes and other things. The three of them had went up to their own rooms and had went to sleep at around eleven. The adults had soon started to leave to go to bed as well, and soon the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters was quiet with everyone asleep.
Airplane – Rogue and Remy LeBeau
In an airplane headed to Bayville finally, Rogue Remy and their children were settled down. They had made extra stops and had to change airplanes but they were finally on their way to the institute. They would arrive early in the morning and most of them were excited. Rogue sat next to Liz and Luke while Ana and Henri sat back with Remy. Luke and Liz were quietly sleeping and Rogue stroked her daughter's hair. Liz was covered up all the way but her face and she felt sorry for the poor child. She turned to watch her son Luke sleep when she heard a muffled laugh behind her.
"What are y'all laughin' about?" Rogue asked turning around and looking at her two eldest children and husband who acted like a child at times.
"We're doin' not'in', ma cherie, jus' playin' cards, y' know Remy an' Ana, we jus' love cards."
"Ah lahke cards ta!" Henri said as Rogue smiled at the three of them, she could tell they were playing poker.
"Bettah watch it kids, yoah fatha is a great pokah playa." She said as Ana nodded her head.
"Ah know ma, he taught me ta play too, so he just better hope Ah didn't surpass him."
"Remy don't think that's possible, pet'te." Remy said smiling at his daughter.
"What about me Pa?" Henri said.
"Non, no one can beat Remy LeBeau de master of de cards." He said as Rogue rolled her eyes.
"You keep thinkin' that, Swamp Rat." Rogue said as she turned back to them then back to the front watching her two youngest sleep.
"How do ya do it, Pa?" Henri asked as Rogue smirked, she could tell Remy just beat him and Ana.
"Dat's Remy's secret, an' 'e didn't cheat eit'er." Remy said smiling at his son and daughter.
'Good thing these two are asleep, that way no one can see their eyes.' Rogue thought to herself, her two children whom had taken after her father with their eyes were asleep. She began to stroke Liz's white hair again and smiled to herself about her children.
Airplane – Amara and St. John Allerdyce
In another airplane flying over California were Amara and St. John. Amara sat beside Amelia and St. John sat beside Pyra and Jake. Amara was slowly drifting off into sleep, joining her sleeping son Jake, and daughter, Amelia, although both St. John and Pyra were still awake.
"Oy betchya we'll arrive tomorrow mornin'." St. John said to his daughter.
"Oy donno, Pa, Oy mean, the time zones moight make it different." She said thinking of the jet-lag they would have.
"Oy know but still." St. John said to his daughter.
"Oy don't even understand whot toime it is, pa!" Pyra said annoyed that she wasn't wearing a watch. "Blimey, the only toime that Oy decide not to wear a watch is the toime Oy want one." Pyra cried out as St. John laughed at his daughter.
"Not to worry, Sheila, all Oy want to know is that when we get there we'll get brekkie."
"That's roight, Pa, Oy'm starved!" Pyra said rubbing her stomach.
"Well we can eat lata." St. John said as she nodded. Pyra reached into her purse and began fumbling around for a few seconds.
"Bloody 'ell, Pa, Oy left moy lippy at home Oy think!"
"Don't ya have anotha one?" St. John asked, he thought most girls had more than one lipstick.
"Oy hope so." She said as she fidgeted around and began fixing her make-up.
Airplane – Amanda and Kurt Wagner
Kurt and Amanda Wagner were flying over the Atlantic Ocean, Kurt had told his sons to be on their best behavior and so far they have. He sat besid Derek and Amanda sat in the seats behind them with Don. Both of the boys were sleeping and Amanda and Kurt had been quietly talking but had now fallen asleep as well, they couldn't wait until they got to the institute, for they had missed everyone.
Airplane – Rahne and Roberto DaCosta
Similar to Kurt and Amanda, Rahne and Roberto sat on either sides of their young daughter. Sandra was asleep and her parents fought trying to go to sleep but the trip from Scotland to the United States was a slightly long one and the two of them had eventually drifted off into sleep.
