My apologies for the delay, RL and my muse(kicks out to muse) went on vacation with out me. Damn her.

Six weeks had passed for our heroes since the kidnapping and insemination. Emma and Sean had settled into a routine of sorts. There were weekly visits from Cecelia and Madelyne, checking up on them and the health of the child. The food was tolerable, and that was being kind. They coped as well as they could, given the situation. They tried to keep the usual "professional" distance between them, but soon gave up. Sean usually woke up first, to find they had both snuggled into each other during the night.

This particular morning, Sean did not wake up, until he found himself on the floor. He blinked a few times and turned his head as he heard odd noises coming from what passed as their bathroom. He glanced over to see Emma, being violently ill in the toilet. Ah, great, the morning sickness has started, and it's nae even breakfast. Sean thought to himself. Then he went over to her placing a gentle hand on her back, even as he moved her hair away from her face with the other.

It seemed to take forever, but finally Emma recovered enough to sit back. Just in time for their trays to arrive. Sean went over to get them, and judging by the look on Emma's face, she wasn't ready to eat. He was about to try and convince her to try, when the lights all went out.

Meanwhile, at Xavier's:

Another morning, but different from the others. Charles Xavier sat in cerebro, hoping against hope he'd find his missing teachers and Cecelia. Suddenly, he was stunned! He picked up all three mental signatures in one area. He concentrated on it, and was shocked at the company with them. Madelyne Prior. Scott's first wife. He sent out a telepathic page to all the X-Men and the members on Generation X. I've found them all. Get ready to go NOW!

In less than twenty minutes, the team and the students were assembled. They flew quickly over the land below them, to where Charles had pinpointed their location. Charles briefed the entire group on who was behind the disappearance, and they were surprised, to say the least. After landing, Kitty went in first, phasing through the walls with ease. She managed to find Emma and Sean, sitting in the dark, talking quietly.

Kitty used her powers to get the power dampening anklet off of Sean. According to plan, while she was doing that, Logan was making an entrance for everyone else. The way he did it best. With his claws. The rest of the X-Men followed him into the building, intent on rescuing their friends and capturing the insane redhead.

When Jean and Scott confronted Madelyne, she was shocked and dismayed. Not only had her plan failed, and miserably, she'd been caught. And her telepathy was no match for Jean's. She shouted,

"NOO! You Bitch!" Before she fell unconscious. The guards were easily taken care of and soon the door to Cecelia and the other cells were opened. Emma stood up as Beast entered the cell. They were free, and they could go home. She meant to say something sarcastic, but never got the chance. She did something she'd never done before and would never do again. The White Queen, fainted. Sean caught her quickly and looked at Beast in alarm.

"Good Lord Hank, she's never passed out like this before, maybe it's somethin' with the baby." He blurted out, not realizing what he'd said before it was too late. Both Kitty and Beast glanced at him like he'd gone insane. Sean picked her up,

"It's a long story. We'll explain it all later. Right now, she needs proper medical care." With that, he walked out of the cell they'd shared for over a month.

After all the loose ends where tied up, there was a somewhat joyful reunion with Sean and the students. Less joy due to Emma being unconscious, but Hank brought her around during the flight back to the mansion. Then it was time for a debriefing.

And that is where I will leave it. Until more inspiration hits, anyway.
