Thanks to Summers Groupie, danae, The emo princess and DiazF, for their reviews, it really means a lot !
Like last time, it's really by respect for you that I carry on to update cause if I was listening to myself, I wouldn't go on the web at all, I'm really not well morally in these times.
But Enjoy, read and review
Wen
Scott led her wife toward an armchair.
"Sit down"
"Wait, you knew about this?" she asked.
"Yes" he admitted with a smile before briefly kissing her.
"That's the second time"
"I know, but it always makes for a better surprise and that's not easy with a telepath" he answered
The other rejoined her by by bringing in her present. Jean laughed as Kurt spoke to his friends and to his professors:
"I told you we should have left it in the box. No need to be a telepath to know what it is. It wasn't even worth wrapping"
"This is from all of us" said the Professor
Jean unpacked the pushchair.
"Thanks you all! It's superb and it really seems comfortable"
"This is a polyvalent one," said Ororo, "It's not heavy, can be used in several positions: landau, buggy etc and can also be changed into a rocker, a mose basket, and it's compatible with SafetyBase for the car. I'll show you all the features"
"Well, that's even better" she smiled.
Other presents followed: soft toys, new-born and first months clothes, a birth book, a baby changing bag a musical box, and others gifts from Scott which included a superb mobile to fix their baby's bed, a romper, and a baby-monitor.
The party was followed by a dinner and the students let themselves unwind as they listened to music, but they were careful not to have it too loud because the baby had shown Jean, by moving, that loud sounds were bothering her
The couple left relatively soon into the evening, for Jean was exhausted. They put the presents in the landau, thanked everybody once more, and went to the elevator
"If we wanted to do a census of the Institut's members, we would only have to pick up the fingerprints on my belly" joked Jean as they were arriving to the first floor.
Scott smiled and she added:
"Ca, you imagine that, in two weeks, a little girl will be sleeping into this same landau?"
"Yes, I try, but I think it'll be even more wonderful than anything I can imagine"
Scott rolled the pushchair out of the elevator while keeping an arm around Jean's waist, who had laid her head against his shoulder as they entered their apartment
"You should go to bed. I don't think you'll have trouble falling asleep tonight. We'll just have to wait and assemble the stuff tomorrow"
"Hum…" made Jean by getting out of her somnolence "You're right, I'm gonna change and go to bed.
When the young man rejoined her, she was already in a deep sleep, laid on her side with one bended leg pulled against her belly, the only position which was comfortable for her.
At 11 p.m., Jean was suddenly pulled out of her sleep. She pressed a hand on her belly and looked around her. Everything was calm and she heard Scott's regular breath. The place was bathed by the light of the full moon. Damned, she had finally managed to get some sleep whereas for several days, between the tights cramps, accompanied by pains which were spreading themselves from the low abdomen to the kidneys and the diffused and persistent pain back, the awakenings had become usual. She turned herself for resting on her back and closed her eyes in order try and fall asleep again.
Whereas twenty minutes later, she was about to fall back asleep, she felt a little contraction on her low belly, but given it had been happening often these last few days, she didn't think too much of it and closed again her eyes. When another contraction came back after the same lapse of time, she asked questions to herself, but she didn't wake Scott up, telling herself that it could very well be a false-labour.
Having said that, during the following hour, the contractions became closer and more regular…
"Scott" said Jean by laying a hand on his arm, slightly shocking him.
"Hum…Jean?" answered a sleeping voice before gathering his mind and turning toward her. Something was wrong, he felt it immediately "The baby?"
"I'm having contractions…For the past 2 hours, one each every ten minutes for half an hour," she said.
"What? Why didn't you wake me up sooner?" he asked by switching on the light.
"It could be a false labour, but here the contractions are getting closer and becoming painful" answered Jean, her hand on her belly.
"I'll warn Hank, don't move"
"Oh, I won't go that far…" she said as her husband was eclipsing in boxers.
Taken by a need to go to the toilets, she stood up nevertheless for going to the bathroom. Two minutes later, she was returning into the room when:
"Oh my god…"
One floor below, Hank was preparing himself for the delivery. Scott had told him everything he knew. . It was the full moon and Beast wasn't ignoring that it had a lot of repercussions on the pregnancies, but the labour could very well stop by itself.
They were getting out of the room; when Scott received a message and grew pale:
"What? What did she say?" asked Hank.
Still like it ?
Let me know !
The more I get reviews, the sooner I update !
