Thanks to The emo princess, spanishprincess, and afan for their reviews
read and review!Jean laughed and curled her head into his neck.
"What?" he asked.
"We'll see what you say when we won't even been able to lay with each other like this because I'd be too fat"
"It won't change the way I see you"
She didn't respond, only savouring his contact, before saying:
"Do Scott, you know that I know you've been hiding something from me for weeks now?"
"Yeah" he answered with a smile.
"And you don't want to tell me what it is?"
"No"
"And do you know that your daughter is finding you being really unkind towards me at the moment?" she joked.
He smiled and delicately kissed her.
"You'll know soon"
She seemed content with the answer. She trusted him. The fact he wasn't even unconsciously projecting his secret, was making her suspecting that the Professor to be helping him. Of course, to read her husband's mind would be pretty easy for her, overall with her evolving powers, but she respected his desire to keep it a surprise… whatever it was.
"Do you have any more classes to teach?" she asked.
"No, I'm finished for the day" he answered by laying on his back.
"In that case, I think I'll requisition my husband for keeping me warm" she said by curling a little more comfortably against him.
"You're cold ? We're in the middle of June!" he remarked.
"Pregnant women always have surprising sensations, haven't you read your book?"
He smiled, enlaced her a little more and started massaging her back, which didn't seem to displease to Jean.
"So, what have you done this afternoon, other than sleeping?" he asked.
"I read a little…"
"No television?"
Following Hank's medical advice, Jean stood up only for going to the bathroom. She hadn't gone down for meals for five days. Scott also dined with her on a tray and was doing his best so she didn't feel bored and that was why he had bought her a little TV. He knew that Jean was an active woman and staying in bed for a week in the same room was tough on her.
"No, not today. Between the soap-operas and the anti-mutants debates, I'd rather abstain from it." she answered.
Then, somebody knocked to the door.
"Jean?"
"Come in Ororo" the young woman invited, knowing it was her.
"Oh, you're not alone"
"No, I'm sequestrating my husband" smiled Jean.
"I can come back later if you want ?" purposed the weather witch.
"No that's okay, you can stay" answered Jean before smelling something "Tell me, you wouldn't happen to have honey croissants in you bag?"
"You're incredible" smiled Ororo before pulling out the food in question.
"No, I'm pregnant, and hungry, there's a difference. Thanks, you're a true friend Ororo" she said by catching it.
"What is this about?" asked Scott.
"Just women's stuffs, you wouldn't understand" answered Ororo by sitting at the edge of the bed.
"So, what's new?" asked Jean after having swallowed a mouthful of croissant, holding a bit to Scott.
"Since yesterday? Nothing unusual, except the classical friendly fights between some students. There wasn't too much damages. Otherwise…Oh yeah, Kurt found himself stuck cleaning the Jet for a week for having appeared in the girl's sleepover party that they had organized last evening"
"Oh, that was what that shouting was about?" she said after having finished the croissant, laying her head back against Scott's chest, half closing her eyes. "I was too tired for informing myself by telepathy, and as I haven't heard anything break down…yet"
Ororo laughed at this point:
"It wasn't very pleasant. Logan was the one who caught him"
"I know I wouldn't have been too thrilled if I were in his position. I can't say I wouldn't have done the same" answered Scott "Kurt has to take his behaviour in consideration"
"Yes, that what I was thinking" approved Storm "And you Jean, what would have you been up to?...Jean?"
The young woman had fallen asleep.
"Pregnancy" answered Scott with a smile.
"You're trapped now I guess"
"It doesn't bother me. I think I'll take a nap with her"
Ororo stood back.
"If in one hour you don't come down, I'll bring you your dinner"
"Thank you Storm"
"You're welcome"
Two weeks had melted away as Jean approached her seventh month of pregnancy and stayed relaxed as much as possible. Some days before, she had passed a check-up of her baby. She was measuring some 11.8 inches and they even had the right equipment to a scan in three dimensions thanks to the Institute resources which allow them to see their child in another way. She had opened her eyes. Scott was continually astonished and both of them could spend hours looking at the mother-to-be's belly which, sometimes, had a little bump appear from their daughter's head, knee or heel.
Scot had just finished his lesson and he passed to watch Jean's class. When she felt his presence, she turned herself toward him and smiled before concentrating back to her students and keeping on her session teaching other young mutants with psychics powers.
Scott, could you meet me in my office asked suddenly the Professor by telepathy.
