They arrived together into the kitchen as it bustled with a slew of activity.

"Ah, there you are" smiled Storm "So, what did you think of the surprise?"

"Wonderful" answered Jean.

"What? Which surprise? "asked some curious students.

"Scott and Jean have moved yesterday. Now they will live into an apartment on the new Institute wing" said the Professor as he rolled into the room.

"I believe I owe you thanks too Professor" declared Jean as she stepped for to hug him.

"That is nothing Jean, you needed it, henceforth you will need more place" he said by laying a fathered hand on the belly of the woman he considerate as his daughter "I am glad that you like it.""

"Like it? I love it?" asked Jean "Professor, I don't believe that I'll ever be able to thank you for everything you've done for us"

Charles smiled at this mark of acknowledgment.

"You don't have to thanks me, seeing you happy is enough for me"

The young woman smiled at him before saying:

"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I skipped a meal yesterday and I'm starving" she said before seeing that Scott had just finished preparing her breakfast "You're an angel"


Another week melted away and the couple was still very happy in their new lodgement. Jean had again rounded up.

This evening, both of them had an important discussion. Comfortably settle against the chest of her husband after a good back massage, their fingers intertwined and they were simply enjoying a quiet moment together.

"Scott?"

"Hum?"

"You know that I'll have to begin doing birthing exercises soon, you know?"

"I know it, and I'll be there" he said softly.

"I risk not having a normal birth" she let him hear "Yesterday evening in the bathtub and during all the week, I realized that the water could relax me and even the baby seemed to be sensible to it. So I thought that it'd be great to do the exercises in the swimming-pool. And, why not prepare an aquatic delivery?"

"Have you talked to Hank about it?"

"No, I wanted to discuss it with you first. I know that it's possible, thousands women have done it. I did some research on the web today. It has a lot of other advantages, it's less traumatising for the child, and makes things easier and less painful for the mother. And knowing that I'm allergic at the principal constituent of the epidural, it's a lot more preferable…"

"You're right, I believe you should do what you think is best" answered Scott.

"So you want us to do exercises into the swimming pool? We could do it in the one outside, the infirmary, or even into the bathtub ?"

"Of course" he said by kissing her on the temple "but you risk another a problem"

"Which one?"

"I doubt that your swimsuit will fit you now"

Jean laughed.

"I'll buy a special maternity suit for my big belly. Then, you'd see a female hippopotamus evolving in the swimming-pool, so…."

"Jean…"

"What?"

"You're not fat, you're pregnant and you're beautiful" said Scott before kissing her "Now, you need to sleep"

Jean didn't need to hear it twice and she quickly fell asleep. Scott kissed her on the forehead and switched off the light.


Scott, Storm, Hank and Logan were gone for a mission, something that hadn't happened for weeks. In her state, Jean hadn't been able to follow them and was waiting their return by busying herself with the writing of a thesis.

When she heard the X-Jet's motors, she stood up and went to the hangar. The first one who came down was Storm, but she had a distressed look:

"What happened?" asked Jean suddenly realizing that she couldn't feel her bond with her husband anymore "Scott!"

Ororo prevented her from bursting into the blackbird.

"Scott!"

"Jean, no…There…There has been an accident, he wanted to save people from a crumbling building and…he…he was killed…" stammered Storm.

"No!"

She managed to escape Ororo's grip and enter into the X-Jet despite Hank and Logan's attempts to prevent her from seeing Scott in his state. Now, his body was resting on a medical stretcher, covered with wounds and blood.

"Scott! No!"

She threw herself on him, and cried her heart out

"Scott, wake up! I beg of you…You can't leave us!"
