Here is the continuation, enjoy…and review lol
Wen
Both of them didn't wait and what a passion kiss! Into a thunderous applause, they received the inevitable confetti and rice grains, as Jubilee made a spurt of fireworks from her hands which went to explode into an azure blue sky.
The inevitable photos sessions followed, Kitty had filmed the ceremony and Kurt took over from the party. The newly married couple didn't leave each other's side anymore as Alex and the Professor went to join them after having appended their signature as witnesses, and warmly congratulated them at their turn.
The dinner followed and Scott and Jean opened the dance with a slow rendition of Bryan Addams 'Everything I do' which was represented the bond they shared and the impact extended to the rest of the students and professors as the music that followed helped to further show the majesty of this event. The young bride even wanted to dance with the one she considered as her father, and even the Professor Xavier was surprised to see the easiness with which she could lift him and keep him up thanks to her telekinesis during the 3 minutes of the song and this without particular concentration. Jean didn't show any tiredness and he was really touched for having been able to dance with her as if he was not even paralysed. He would think again about the evolution of her powers another day.
When came the cake was served, as the beast man Alex had to make a little speech, and although Scott had feared the worst, he stayed serious and didn't glide any joke into his text. The Professor Xavier spoke also at his turn:
- "This day is a big one…" he began "Scott and Jean, I remember the day when you came to the Institute as if it was yesterday. You were my first students…frightened by your past and by your powers which you were ignoring the true nature of and which had isolated you from the rest of the world and even alienated you from your own family. I raised you as if you were my own children. You have grown, Ororo came to join you, and little by little the Institute had welcomed other students. I have always known that something special was linking you and I felt it at your meeting and in time managed to confirm it myself.. As two adolescents, you dated even though Logan has had difficulties in accepting it…"
- "Hey!" made a grumbling voice "I wasn't that crazy about it at the time, that's all"
Some laughs resounded under the tent where the reception was taking place. The Professor smiled and resumed:
- "So you began to date and you were of a surprising maturity for young 16 years old. We knew you were responsible and three years later, we let you move in together. From students, you became professors, from young recruits, you became leader of the X-Men or doctor specialist of genetic; and, despite the trials which had almost parted you forever some months before, now, here you are…married and soon-to-be parents. And I am very proud of you" he finished.
The assembly warmly applauded, as Jean came to kiss him on the cheek and Scott gratefully shook his hand.
The hours passed as the moment for Scott and Jean to depart on their honeymoon finally arrived. It was set to be a long week on an isle in the Pacific Ocean, isolated and scantly populated, where the inhabitants had nothing against mutants and were totally ignoring their existence. By security, the X-Copter was at their mode of transport since it would be easy for them to camouflage it.
- "Well bro, here you are…You're officially bound by the binding rope of marriage tied in a noose around your neck !" said Alex.
Scott briefly laughed:
- "I couldn't dream of a more beautiful rope" he replied before laying a kiss on his wife's lips.
- "Come on man, wait to be alone for that!" joked the younger Summers brother "Anyways Jean, I'm happy for having you as an official sister in law; welcomed into the family, as small as it is…well for the moment"
- "Thank you Alex" said the young woman.
The others came to say their goodbyes:
- "Be careful both of you, don't act too much irrationally" said Ororo by hugging them each at their turn.
- "Don't worry, I have a little chaperon right here in my belly" joked Jean by passing her hand unto her abdomen which was growing more rounded by the week "She won't keep herself out of the limelight"
- "Take good care of Jeannie, Slim" said Logan "But I know ya will. My congratulations to both of ya, this wedding was superb, even if I repeat myself by sayin' it's not not makin' me feel any younger, even if only mentally"
They laughed at this notion, knowing that Wolverine was a lot older that he seemed because his mutation healed him of all sickness, injury, and even of age. It was now Hank's turn to speak.
- "And Jean, don't forgot…not too much direct exposition at sun and…"
- "I know Hank, I have had my doctor diplomas for several years now…" she answered by smiling at him.
The Beast smiled back, as the Professor moved forward to say his goodbye:
- "My children, what could I say that I haven't already said? I will only repeat myself in saying that I'm very proud of you. I give you all my congratulations and I wish you all the happiness you deserve"
- "Thank you everyone" said Jean and Scott simultaneously.
They were about to go, when Jean remember something she had forgotten to do and gathered all the girls that had been invited.:
- "Okay ladies, ready for the tossing of the bouquet? And no cheating!" she said, by referring to their powers.
A Hubbub of encouragement answered to her as she smiled, turned herself and threw her bouquet which was caught by Ororo…
After four hours of flight, the X-Copter had landed on the little isle where they had made their reservation for a bungalow looking out over a beach of the Pacific Ocean. They were very well received and congratulated at their arriving to the hotel. They took their key and an employee laid their baggage into the lodging comfortably equipped and went away with a generous tip.
Finding themselves alone into this paradise, Scott took Jean into his arms, making her pass through the doorstep of the bungalow.
- "Hum, you've put on a few pounds…" remarked Scott.
- "Is that any way to talk to your wife, Mr Summers?"
- "But I haven't précised how much I love these new pounds" he added by posting himself behind her for embracing her, his cheek against her temple, and his hands on her belly.
Jean leaned against him with a sigh of well-being as he soothed her by gently placing his hands on her abdomen.
