"Grand-father?"
"Well, we've always considerate you and the Professor as our parents" approved Scott.
"Ok, this was comfortable until you all started callin' me a grand-father …" declared Wolverine before changing his tone, "Charles and I have may be around the same age despite the appearances, who knows? But it'll perturb the baby to have two grand-fathers with one of them who pretty much can't grow old"
"Good point" admitted Jean, before sharing a glance with Scott "Well, I guess you'll have to settle with being Uncle Logan instead"
"That's better, overall for such a tranquil little girl"
"The new-borns sleep 22 hours at a time, Logan," answered the Professor as he smiled at the little newborn. Can I call her my grand-daughter? he asked the two parents by telepathy whose immediately answered without hesitation that it was okay, "I think my grand-daughter will soon make her voice heard when she wakes up and sees her new family. And for that…I can't tell you how proud I am to be the surrogate grand-father of your daughter, my children."
Hank made his appearance in the room with papers into his hands.
"Oh, you're back. Have you seen the little marvel? She will be coddled by the whole Institute at this rate" he said.
"So? Did you get the results?" asked Jean.
"What results?" demanded Wolverine
"The DNA tests, Logan. Rachel is the first child fathered by two Alpha classed mutants, so that makes her quite unique," doctor McCoy answered him before carrying on, "I'm happy to say that I've confirmed that she's in perfect health and, of course, that she's also carrying the X-Gene, but I've never seen such a case"
"Carry on please" said Jean "I'm not in the right state to interpret it myself"
"It's inactive, but not in the same way as it is for all the other mutant DNA I have studied"
"Does this mean that her powers will appear sooner?" asked Scott.
"Yes, I think so, but as for when and how…I can't tell you just yet. She may very well develop a mutation quite different from yours"
The baby moved in her sleep and reaffirmed her clasp on her mother's finger. Jean kissed her forehead in response and slightly stroked the back of her tiny hand with her thumb.
"I don't think that her powers will appear before age two. Her body will focus on other things for her development before that happens. After that, we'll just have to wait and see. She's in the best place of the world for finding all the help she needs after all."
"And I'm sure that both of you will make excellent parents" said the Professor.
Two days later, the little family had returned to their home. It was late, the sun had set two hours ago, but they weren't yet sleeping. Laid on the side, Jean was feeding her daughter and Scott was softy caressing the cheek of the little baby, the fingers of his free hand intertwined with that his wife's.
"Look at her, it seems that she hasn't eaten in hours" he said.
"Yes, but she'll fall asleep at some point only to restart her sucking ten minutes later as if nothing had happened" she smiled.
Scott smiled and kissed Jean on the temple, impregnating himself of the sight he had in front of him. Despite his shades, he knew that his two women were truly marvellous, for he could see his daughter trough Jean's eyes in all her beauty thanks to their bond.
The camera had gotten a lot of use today. Rachel had been introduced to the students and was considerate as the little mascot of the Institute.
He didn't know what was in store for them for their future, but for the moment he felt truly complete. He was married to the woman of his dreams, his soul-mate, and was henceforth the father of a little princess. At this second, he couldn't be happier.
As Jean nearly finished the feeding, she was close to falling asleep. The baby had been sleeping for a few minutes already with her mouth still against her mother's breast. Scott softly disengaged himself for going to take his daughter into his arms and laying her into her bed.
"Good night princess" he breathed to her before switching on the baby monitor and leaving the room for rejoining Jean into their own bed.
"Thanks" she said, half sleeping.
"You're welcomed sweetheart. It's the least I can do," he answered, knowing that, contrarily to bottle feeding, he wouldn't be able to take over, only bring Rachel to Jean so she didn't tire herself too much.
The young woman curled against him in a way they hadn't been able to for some months.
I love you she sent trough their bond, too tired to speak.
I love you too he answered before briefly kissing her.
She fell asleep and it wasn't long before he joined her in her dreams.
That's all!
