Author's note: 98 reviews…that's even more than great and makes me really happy. : ) So, I thought about something: Number 100 will get a message from me and…nah…I won't tell. ;)

The Carebear mentioned here is of course a hint to Kavi Leighanna's fanfic Rebirth. You guys should read it! ; )

Changes Chapter 27

Loud hammering echoed through the mansion on the next day. Peter and Scott where trying with the help of Hank to fix the wall in Logan's old room since the early morning.

"God…", Hank moaned and paused for a brief moment, while he let go off the wooden slat. "I believe if you only give him enough speed, my friend, Logan could easily destroy the whole mansion at once…and afterwards he'd just get up and walk away…"

Peter smiled and hit another nail into the wood. "Where's he anyway? It's his wall in the end…", Hank asked.

"He was repairing the banister the last time I've seen him", Peter said and look at his work.

"He's playing the lovely father who goes shopping with his girlfriend…", Scott grunted. "Rogue and Bobby included."

"Ah, come on, Scott…", hank said and shook his head, while he steadied the next slat. "You should really get over it…"

"I'll never get over it!", the other man said barely audible and got up.

"You just don't like the fact that it is Logan on Jean's side now… It would be a complete different situation if it…"

"Leave it!", Scott hissed angrily.

"Why? Because you just won't accept the truth?", Hank shot back. He eyed his opposite frowning.

Scott put his hands to his hips. "Which truth? That he's all of a sudden every girl's darling here?"

Hank raised an eyebrow and looked at Peter in confusion, since he didn't know what the other man was talking about. "I suppose he means the situation in the kitchen after Jean put him back together…", he explained and kept on working.

"Oh, so you're jealous!", Hank smirked and handed more nails over to Peter. If they kept on working like that they should be done in a few hours. Nevertheless, they still had to plaster the wall.

"I'm NOT jealous!", Scott said more loudly and handed over the next slat.

"No, of course not…", his opposite noticed. "You're only acting like a cuckold!"

Scott let the slats fall to the ground and looked at him furiously. "What the hell do you know!", he nearly yelled in anger. His blood was boiling within him.

Hank faced him angrily. He couldn't believe how much the man in front of him had changed lately. "What I know?", he asked in return. "A lot! You envy Logan because he has what you want!"

His opposite snorted. "I don't envy animals…."

Hank ignored it. "You do!", he gave back. "He and Jean are not only happy with each other, you're also pissed because Jean is expecting his children instead of yours!" Scott breathed heavily because of his growing anger. "Come over it, Scott!" Hank said more calmly. "You say you love her…then let Jean be happy…"

Furiously, Scott turned around and left. Hank could only shake his head and sighed. Finally, Peter and he went on with their work, knowing that it would take them much longer now to finish it…

"Oh my gosh! Isn't that cute?", Jubilee shrieked and pulled an orange-yellow romper suit with little giraffes from a bar full of baby clothing.

"Yeah, kid…as cute as the previous twenty", Logan grunted and turned around to face Jean who was smirking. "Didn't you say Bobby and Rogue!", he asked frustrated.

Jean smiled. "Well, you know her, don't ya? Come one, she's having fun…stop being a sourpuss!"

"Sourpuss, eh?", he asked her and raised an eyebrow. "Exactly because I know her, I'm asking!" He sighed and looked around, noticing every spot of the store. Somehow he felt completely lost in the middle of so many pregnant women, toys, changing tables, cots, baby clothes… And over-excited teenage girls, he added as he looked at Jubilee, who had grabbed the next two romper suit. Logan rolled his eyes while he switched his look to Bobby and Rogue. Both of them seemed to enjoy going through all the baby stuff. The he watched Jean again who went through the clothes next to him lost in thoughts. He had to smile. Even if he felt lost, he felt still happy…

Suddenly, Jubilee grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the shelves with cuddly toys. "Come on, you gotta help me out here!" she said and let go off him. When she looked up into his stressed face, she pouted. "Ah, come on, Wolvie…you ain't no fun today! I still need something cute for Rogue's baby…"

He shrugged. "Don't ya have enough selection here?", he asked her and folded his arms in front of his chest.

She gave him the same look. "Come on! Stop sulking and be of help!"

"I'm not sulking!", Logan grunted. After he realized that Jubilee wouldn't stop annoying him before he picked something out of the shelves, he gave in sighting. "'Kay…!" With a raised eyebrow he went through the stuff next to him, before he held something out to her. "Here!"

The girl looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "You want me to give Rogue's baby a Spiderman action figure…!"

"'Kay, hold on!", Logan grunted and put the figure back. Finally, he grabbed something else. "Better!", he asked frustrated.

"A carebear?", she eyed it curiously. "Yeah, that's one's cute!" Jubilee smiled at him. Logan just wanted to return to Jean, when she stopped him. "Hey, mister! We're not finished here, yet!"

"Jesus, Jubes! You got your bear, so what else do you want!", Logan asked annoyed. Gosh, he hoped his kids wouldn't be like that…

"You gonna have two kids soon, remember? So,…we need to find two more!", she said grinning widely at him. She didn't know why, but she loved to annoy him.

Logan snorted and narrowed his eyes. Finally, he grabbed another blue and green carebear and held them out to her, but she shook her head. "What! What's wrong with them?"

"Nothing! I only wanted YOU to pick something for YA kids!", she winked. "I already got something for them…"

With that she joined Rogue and Bobby again, leaving Logan only more frustrated than he already was. He looked down at the two bears in his hands, before he shook his head and sighed. Thank God, no one of the Brotherhood could see him just now… Especially 'Ro and Hank would have loved to see the strong Wolverine standing in the middle of pregnant women with two bears in his hands… He walked over to Jean who had finished looking for baby clothes and was now looking at beds. Logan sneaked up to her and placed a kiss on her neck, which calmed him down again. "Got everything?"

Jean smiled up at him. "We still need two beds and a changing table…" Her eyes caught the bears in his hands. "They're cute!"

Logan put them into the cart and took care of it again. "Yeah,…and Jubes stays at home from now on!"

She smirked at him. "What do you think about these two ones?", she asked him and pointed to two wooden, white painted baby beds. One had blue bed linen with sleeping bears on it, while the second had yellow ones. Giraffes and elephants were smiling from it.

"Fine with me!", he said after taking a closer look at them. "What about that changing table and the small bathtub over there?"

Jean turned around. Finally, she saw what he meant. "Yeah,…"

"Do we got everything then?", Logan asked her while watching to the other three mutants, who were eyeing a small bed closely. Of course, Jubilee wanted to talk them into the yellow one. He smirked. That girl really was crazy…

"I think so", Jean said after she had went through her list. "Do you think they deliver all the stuff?"

Logan shrugged. "We could also leave Jubes here…", he said smirking and earned a look from her. "I'll go and ask. What about eating something?"

Jean took her eyes from the list she'd made at home again. "Oh, you can go and eat something with Bobby. We'll meet there!"

Confused he looked at her. "What about you and the girls?"

She smiled mysteriously. "You'll see!"

Nearly two hours later, Logan and Bobby were still sitting in the Pizza Hut restaurant and waited for them. After everything had been settled with the owner of the store and after the guy had promised them to deliver everything within the next two days, the girls had handed over the bags to the guys. Then they'd headed off to an unknown place within the mall. Both men had ordered something to eat and drink and waited for their return…

Logan took another sip from his third coke, while Bobby was staring out of the window, turning the empty glass within his hands. The grown watched him smirking. It was in his nature to wait, but apparently not in Bobby's. Nevertheless, even Logan asked himself where the girls were…

"What are they doing so long?", he heard the boy asking and shrugged.

"Girls stuff, probably…"

"Over two hours!" Bobby turned his head towards Logan and frowned.

"Well, you know woman, pal!" He only smirked.

"You know Jubes, Bobby corrected him and Logan's smirk became even wider. "I bet she's heading from one shop to the next…"

"Probably…", the adult grunted. "So, how's Rogue doing?", he asked after a while.

"Good. Thank God, she doesn't have any problems so far…" Bobby suddenly became serious. "I only hope…", he broke off while putting down his glass.

Logan knew what the boy wanted to say. "Don't worry! I'm pretty sure that she can touch the child…"

"Yeah, I hope so…"

"What's it gonna be?", Logan asked and drank a bit again. This conversation reminded him a lot of their previous one, before Striker had attacked them. A lot had changed since then…

"Mrs McTaggert said a girl", Bobby smiled.

"Already got a name?"

He shook his head. "We're still discussing it."

"Well, you still got more month than we have…", Logan said smirking.

Bobby looked out of the window again. "What about your twins?"

Logan put the glass down. "Jean wants to be surprised, so we don't know the gender."

"Any names already?"

"Nope", he shook his head. "We haven't talked about it, yet…"

"It's about time!", Bobby said as suddenly his eyes widened.

Logan frowned. "What? What's wrong!", he asked worriedly and turned around. His chin dropped, too…

"What are you staring at, Wolvie?", Jubes asked, but he didn't even take notice of her. His eyes were fixed on Jean who came closer. Jubilee had to laugh. "Guys, you're drooling!"

Bobby still stared at Rogue. He was too surprised to react. Her hair had the same color, but it was way shorter than before. It only reached up to her chin now… Shyly, she looked at him. "You like it?"

He swallowed as his brain finally started to work again. "Yeah! It looks great! I'm just…pretty much surprised…"

Rogue smiled and sat down next to him, while Logan was still staring at Jean. He noticed that several men had turned their head toward the red haired woman with the phoenix necklace around her neck, but he didn't care. She was his mate… Her hair was only shoulder length anymore. The cut itself was a mixture between before Alkali Lake and after it. She smiled at him and he moved aside to so that she could sit down. "Okay?", Jean asked worriedly, but as an answer he only kissed her hungrily, totally forgetting about the people around him.

"See? Drooling!", Jubilee said to Bobby and Rogue who only smiled.

"Love it!2, Logan said between two kissed, before he turned to Jubilee. "And I head that!" She only shrugged. "You wanna eat something?", he asked the girls, but they only shook their heads. "Okay, then lets go!"
