Thanks to The emo princess, Summers groupie, Dani and Helen for their reviews
That's crazy how more reviews I can have in so little time when I leave you in such a cliff-hanger, I should do that more often…. Come on, I know that you're more than 4 readers to read this story, just leave a review, it's always agreeable ;-)
Here is the continuation, enjoy…and review lol
Wen
He injected beta-mimetic and antispasmodics in order to try and stop the labour
"Try to calm down sweetheart" said Scott by running his fingers through his wife's hair.
"I…I can't Scott"
Hank went with the decision to give a sedative to Jean, for he knew that her panic, even if it was understandable, was affecting her baby and risked to further aggravate the situation.
"It's a sedative" he said to her by injecting it into arm .
"I don't want to lose her…I beg you…" she said one last time before sinking into unconsciousness.
"Tell me that you can do something Hank" said Scott anxiously.
"I have administrated her a product which should stop the labour. We'll have to wait and see if it's enough…"
One hour later, Jean was coming out of a woolly sleep with Scott still at her side:
"Hey…"
The young woman, upon blinking several times for finding her vision, she recognized the infirmary and remembered why she was here:
"The baby!" she gasped in a worried voice as she put her hands on her abdomen. But thankfully…The nightmare she had lived didn't repeat itself, for her abdomen hadn't lost its rounded shape and she even felt her daughter giving her a kick.
She sighed heavily, crying for joy without even noticing it.
"Everything's all right sweetheart" Scott reassured her by wiping away his wife's tears "It's was a false alarm. Hank managed to stop the labour. The contractions became less frequents and have ceased"
"So everything's all right? "
"Everything's all right" confirmed Scott by laying his hand aside Jean's while placing another on her belly as he spoke to his daughter "You gave us quite a fright missy. You still have some months to spend in you mother's abdomen even if we're looking forward to welcoming you"
Jean smiled for she loved these precious moments. Scott kissed her before explaining to her what had done Beast.
"Hank doesn't have any explanation other than the accumulation of overworking and stress…Even the strain cased unconsciously which the apprehension of this stage of your pregnancy brought to you"
Just at this moment, Hank appeared:
"Well, you're awake Jeannie" he smiled "I guess Scott had filled you in on your situation?"
Jean nodded:
"Thanks Hank…Thanks for saving her"
"Oh, I only did half the work. She has hold on by herself. She didn't want to go. Nevertheless, as a precaution I want you to spend a week in bed so you can get total rest. The less you stand up the less possible any further mishaps can take place, so just relax yourself"
"Ok, I will"
"Well, I'm glad that you're accepting it so easily, even if you're depriving me of the argumentation I so readily prepared for" smiled Hank
"I'd do anything for being able to carry this baby until her term" answered Jean with determination.
"I'll prescribe you something for helping you to sleep and relax. And if you feel the slightest alert, you know what to do. Scott, I think you can bring her back to your room now. She'll be confined to it for a while…But be careful. Remember to get lots of rest love birds," précised Beast with seriousness even if a smile was appearing on his lips.
"Don't worry, we'll do whatever is necessary" said Scott "I'll take care of her and do whatever it takes for her to stay in it for the long haul, even if she blows me up after some days…"
"It's not my fault, it's the damn hormones. Besides, I haven't had many mood swings lately"
The two men shared a glance.
"I'm talking about mood swings, not my temper" she made remarked, which made them laugh.
"Let's go sweetheart, I'll take you back to our room" said Scott as he passed his arms under her knees and shoulders
Jean wrapped her arms around his neck and let him carry her.
The entire Institute had known about the story and a lot of students wanted to know what happened. Thankfully, they were reassured to know that it was a false alert and that the X-Men Leader's wife hadn't lost her baby, even if she had to be careful from now on.
After the last class of the day, Scott went to their room. As he silently entered, he noticed that Jean was sleeping. He softly covered her with a blanket before lying down beside her, watching her sleep peacefully with one hand on her belly. He did the same and felt his daughter giving some little kicks, as if she was having the hiccups. He stayed in this position for what seemed like one hour, savouring the simple close proximity of his wife. Nevertheless, she began to stir from her sleep.
"Hey, have you been here long?" she asked.
"A good hour…you spend a lot of time sleeping, you know?"
"That's because of Hank's pills. As long as I'm asleep the baby can wiggle around as much as she wants and it doesn't bother me" smiled Jean by massaging her belly.
"Only two more days"
"Only two more days, that is if Hank thinks it's enough. I haven't had any other contraction, but I don't want to take any risks"
"I know…" murmured Scott by laying a kiss on her temple before letting his lips connect with hers.
As usually, their bodies were seething at the simple proximity of the other, and Jean had to break the kiss reluctantly.
"Hey, remember what Hank said about rest pretty boy," she told him with a smile.
They gently lay in front of each other in a comfortable embrace.
"I love you" she said
"I love you too, and you dunno how beautiful I think you are"
