Wen


- "Jean!" she said by slightly nudging her.

The telepath gathered her thoughts and soon all returned to normal and fortunately nobody had noticed them.

- "Are you all right?"

- "Yes…I've…I've just lost the control for a minute"

- "Do you want to sit back for a while?"

- "No, I'm fine, it's gone. I don't know what came over me"

- "This has happened regularly to you since last year after Liberty Island. Have you talked again to the Professor about it?"

- "Of course I have. He thinks my powers are evolving with more or less regularity. I'm working on it, but sometimes I have these surges, absences…The feeling it's them which are controlling me" admitted Jean before adding in front of her best friend's look "Don't worry, it must be the hormones"

- "Or a future little girl controlling her mother" said Ororo in a lighter tone.

- "Who knows?" joked Jean "Well, let's go somewhere else."

They finished by choosing a beautiful wedding dress shop which was also purposing special maternity ones. Jean found the perfect dress, which she took with some margin at the waist in foresight of the two weeks to come, knowing that at four months of pregnancy she was beginning to become rounded of several inches a week.


The next two weeks melted away fairly quickly. The weather promised to be superb for the next two days and the decorations and the chairs had yet to be placed in front of the white kiosk overhanging the cliff looking out to the sea. Kurt's uncle was scheduled to arrive tomorrow. For Scott and Jean, the closer their wedding day came the stronger their bond became. It would be hard not seeing each other for 24 hours up until the ceremony, but they both knew it was worth it.

- "Hey lovebirds, ya'll be together again tomorrow, so it's not that's terrible" said Wolverine as Scott and Jean were prolonging their kiss.

The couple stayed in each other's arms a bit longer while murmuring some words to each other and finished to part, but not without a last kiss, for going reluctantly each one on to their side.

Logan and Hank took care of Scott and spent an evening on a guy's night. He had never really had a boy's life and his wedding with Jean wouldn't change a lot of things excepted by making it official. Jean went out with Ororo and spent an evening between best friends like they had not spent since their adolescence.


Early into the morning, the priest Wagner arrived and the hours went away more quickly than they should have…

- "Wait Jean, don't move…A hair pin is missing…" said Storm before finishing her best friend's headdress, who was going about her responsibilities as the witness and the maid of honour.

Jean watched through the window as everybody was settled. Even the students were present along with parents (At least those that still had them) and her friends. It was an overwhelming feeling since she didn't have a family anymore and Scott only had his brother left.

She caught a glimpse of her future husband under the kiosk and lingered on this view. Only some twelve hours of separation and she was already missing him.

Nervous? she sent without he could see her.

Impatient he answered.

She smiled and her friend understood:

- "Jean, no cheating!" she reprimanded her in an amused tone as someone knocked the door. "Well, are you ready? Logan's here"

The Professor being invalid, Jean had asked Logan to lead her to the altar and he had taken it as a great honour. Charles would be her second witness by her side and Alex would be Scott's witness along with Logan

- "I'm coming"

She turned herself around, checked to see if she hadn't forgotten anything, took her bouquet, and went out as the sound of the dress brushing against the ground was the only thing that could be heard.

- "Ya look beautiful wonderful Jeannie" said Wolverine "You'll take Shade's breath away"

Now it was finally time. When the nuptial walk started and that his future wife advanced into the drive, Scott believed that he was looking at an angel.

Jean hadn't opted for a classical white dress, instead she chose one with crimsons tones; the down part of the dress consisted of a waist pearly white petticoat raised on one side at mid-size by a claret rose that showed the under-petticoat matching with the corset. Her red-hair was tied into an elegant chignon fixed with a clip imitating the rose of the dress and cascaded down behind her in locks. She was adorned with one velvet necklace of the same colour with a crystal pendant and matching earring…a perfect blend of make-up was illuminating her beautiful face and she was flashing him the smile that he loved so much.

You're marvellous he sent to her through their bond as she was reached his side.

They took each other hands, keeping eye contact, as the priest Wagner began his speech in a modern and devoid of religions mannerism just as he had been asked.

- "We are gathered here today for the union of this man and this woman into the sacred links of this wedding from the love they shared and the happy future they have already gotten a head start on, but that is another story, by being its continuity" he began, evoking a laugh the assembly, "Well, let's come to the facts… These young people want to get married and I'm here for just that, so I'll ask the indispensable questions: Scott Summers, do you take Jean Grey to be your lawfully wedded wife…To cherish, to love, and to honour her through sickness and health, till death do you part"

- "Yes I do" he answered without hesitation.

The priest Wagner asked the same question to Jean, who answered with the same conviction.

- "If anybody here has, for one reason or another, the intention to oppose this wedding, please speak now or forever hold your peace."

Logan turned himself toward the assembly and cast a bad glance…No remark came from anybody. (it's a little reference to "the nanny" lol)

- "The wedding rings" asked Hans Wagner.

Alex held them on a little silver plate There were two white gold intertwined rings, Jean's one had three discreet diamonds encrusted into the precious metal and Scott's was a traditional one.

- "Both of them have written their own vows and so…I shall let them speak"

Scott kept Jean's left hand into his and took her wedding ring, before sinking again his glance into hers and declaring:

- "Jean, you're the love of my life and have since the first day we met and even before I could see you. By this ring, I marry you and engage myself to love you and stay at your side and at our future child's now and forever, until my death."

He glided the wedding ring at Jean's finger. A sniff made itself hear, followed by several others as Ororo and some students wiped their tears. Jean took the remaining wedding ring, keeping Scott's left hand into hers.

- "People say often that the wedding is a trial and that it can be frightening…That it can cause anguishes and doubts. For me, I have never felt anything of the kind. All doubts about you, if only I've ever felt one, have left me. This wedding is the officialization of what we live every day…Of what we feel for each other in ways that aren't expressible. Scott Summers, by this ring, I marry you and give to you my heart…And forever tie it to yours as is the one of two soul mates now and forever," said Jean.

She glided the wedding ring onto Scott's finger and they took each other hands again. Other sniffs made themselves heard, the Professor Xavier had tears into his eyes and even Logan hadn't been able to hold back his back as well, even if he linked them to the slight breeze which was blowing. The Priest Wagner resumed:

- "In love's name, through the unbreakable bond you both share, and with the right which are conferred to me, I declared you husband and wife… You may now kiss the bride"

(if you want to see the dress, send me a mail ;-))
