Hey everybody! Hope you liked chapter 1 of "the seatbelt sign should be on at all times". If you didn't, then tough noogies (raspberry) here's chapter 2 anyway.
If I owned X-Men, I'd be Stan Lee. DO I LOOK LIKE AN OLD MAN TO YOU! Oh wait, you can't see me. I could be for all you know…(twilight zone theme music plays)
Chapter 2 of "the seatbelt sign should be on at all times" called "Never bother a woman in labor"
Scott Summers did not panic.
He was stubborn, overbearing, and obsessive compulsive but panic was just not something he did.
Oh well. Guess there's a first time for everyone…
"LOGAN! Get her on the floor!" Scott demanded as he felt Jean's knees weaken.
Logan didn't need to be asked twice. He immediately got up and rushed to her side to help. Scott placed her on the floor in the open area at the back of the jet next to Emma.
"But I thought she wasn't due for another month?" Rachael asked as she returned (rather hurriedly) from the bathroom with a damp towel.
"She's not," Hank replied, shifting his attention from Emma to Jean as he checked her pulse and blood pressure the best he could.
"It's OK, Jean. You'll get through this," Scott said as he padded her worried face with the damp towel, "If you could do it in the future for Rachael you can do it now. Right Rachael?" he asked, turning to his alternate-timeline daughter.
Rachael looked as if she wanted the earth to swallow her. Anything but release the information that was asked of her. The young phoenix looked from Scott to Jean to Logan then let out a nervous chuckle.
"Actually, my birth was a funny story. See…"
Emma reminded everyone of her presence by screaming in pain.
Hank immediately spun around to tend to Emma.
"My bad," he said resuming the hold on her hand.
"YES! IT IS YOUR BAD!" she shouted.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Jean yelled as she had her first contraction.
"Jean? Are you all right?" Scott asked.
"DO I LOOK LIKE I'M ALL RIGHT?" she yelled at him.
"Mood swing," Logan muttered in his ear.
"THIS IS YOUR DOING SCOTT SUMMERS!" she yelled accusingly.
"MY doing? Does 'I bet you $20 I can make love to you better than Emma' ring any bells?"
The plane went silent.
Jean opened her mouth in shock.
"I DID NOT SAY THAT!"
She looked of the side with an annoyed look and muttered, "I bet you $35…"
Emma glared daggers at her and kicked her telepathically.
She yelped and kicked her back.
They were about to go full out when both were interrupted by simultaneous contractions. The screams that ensued shook the plane.
"THAT'S IT!" a certain royally pissed purple haired mutant yelled from the cock pit, "I AM BRINGING THIS THING DOWN EVEN IF WE HAVE TO LAND ON FREE WILLY HIMSELF!"
Betsy flipped a few controls and the Jet began to descend a little faster that it was supposed to.
"BETSY!" Logan yelled, catching the mistake instantly.
Jean made an attempt to flip the switches back with her TK but when another contraction tensed her body, she lost control.
All the electronics in the jet exploded at the same time and the plane started a spiral turn toward the huge ocean below.
"Damn"
