Scott picked up his ringing phone.
"Hello?" "Hi." "Hey Logan, how're you and Ororo?" "We're doin good, hey, we're headin to the park soon after this, he wants to meet Jessie." "Yeah? That's cool." "Yep." "When are you guys going to be back?" "With the way things are goin, hmm-hmm, maybe never." "What?! Did you talk to the Professor about this?" "Hang on Cyc don't drop those visors yet, we'll be back before nightfall." "What about Jessie?" "We'll come get her in a little while." "Ok, we'll be ready." Scott hung up his phone and put it back in his pocket. "Are they coming?" Jean asked, Scott nodded to her. "Soon, he didn't say when though." "Ok." She turned toward a bigger part of the room they were in. "What do you think?" "Looks good." "Think she'll like it?" "You know she likes anything with natural decorations." "Yeah, but I want it to be perfect… She is my best friend you know." "Yeah, besides me." Jean smiled to Scott, then turned giving him a kiss which he returned whole heartedly. "Ew!" Said a small voice behind them, they turned just in time to hear another little voice, "Yucky!" Jessie and Rebecka were looking at them with disapproving faces, they laughed out loud at the two little ones who didn't quite have a taste for romance yet.
There was a knock on the door, "Wonder who that could be?" Jean said curiously looking to Scott, the kids giggled at how funny they thought they were being. Scott went to the door, opening it a moment later, a familiar face came into view. "Daddy!" Jessie yelled excitedly, the small group came into the home, Logan stepped in first, then Ororo, her Father and T'chala. Jessie jumped onto and hugged her Dad's leg before he could really do anything, he smiled down at her. "Mommy!" She said excitedly, unwrapping herself from her Father's leg, "Hey Baby." She said smiling to her daughter, Jessica ran to her Mom, she picked her up hugging her. The excited eyes of Jessica landed on the two unfamiliar faces right behind her parents, her face lit up as she saw the older of the two. She knew immediately, "Grampa!" She said loudly reaching out to him, taking notice of this, David's eyes sparked brighter happily knowing this was the little Granddaughter that his daughter and son in law had been telling him about.
Looking between her daughter and Father, she laughed a little bit at the action and reaction between both of them. "Yes Jessie, this is your Grandfather." Ororo said happily, "Hello Jessie." He said back smiling, she then put the little one down on the floor who then jumped up and down ecstatic that she finally got to meet her Grandpa. The four came all the way into the house, David looked down to the happy two-year-old smiling joyfully to her. "Scott Jean, this is David Munroe, Roro's Father." Logan introduced them, the young couple looked to the elder man who smiled at them once his attention was pulled away from the happy little girl running around him joyfully. They approached him to greet him and welcome him to their home. "It's wonderful to finally meet you Mr. Monroe." Scott said extending his hand to him in welcome, David took his hand gratefully. "We've been very excited to meet you, your daughter's an amazing woman, that we are very proud to know." Jean said after her boyfriend, she also shook David's hand, he smiled to her at her comment about Ororo. "It's wonderful to meet the friends of my precious Ororo." He said beaming. "Oh, and this is T'chala, a friend of 'Roro's." Logan said looking at the other man, a second later David turned his attention to the man behind him. "This man is the one that helped me to find my daughter again, he and his kingdom were very helpful to me." "Did you say his Kingdom?" Scott asked looking at the man being introduced. "Yes, this man is king of the country Wakanda, and has chosen to be my friend for these past months." The two that didn't know this were astonished that they'd have the honor to be in the presence of a king in any span of their lifetime. "Wow, it's a pleasure to meet you your highness." Jean said stretching out her hand to him, he shook her hand with his own, then shook Scott's as well, who was as surprised as his girlfriend. "Well… forgive us for not having our home prepared for such an honor, we didn't know that we'd have a king visiting us this evening." T'chala smiled gently, raising his hand in a dismissive gesture to them. "Oh, please… it is quite alright. Ororo is a good friend of mine, that I haven't seen in a long while. I am just happy to see her again." They settled for that, smiling happily to him.
T'chala noticed near the two that had just greeted him that there was another child, a little bigger than Jessica, the one who had run up to David a moment earlier. She just looked at him, with that curious child look. "You're a king?" She asked eyes wide and staring, he smiled at her, "Yes, my name is T'chala, and I am also known as the Black Panther, I am the king of the country Wakanda,." Little Rebecka's face was still in wonder, but then turned to a smile as well. "You're a Panther?" She asked tilting her head to the side. "Becka, It's not polite to ask so many questions of someone you just met." Scott said to her, she lowered her head apologetically, "Sorry your majesty." Scott said to the man, T'chala looked to him and smiled slightly.
By the end of the night all of them were so amazed that they all had a hard time thinking about resting.
Ororo smiled joyfully snuggling into her husband's chest, he could feel the emotion rolling off her as she faked sleep, he knew she was awake though, they'd been together a long time, even besides their relationship. He knew when she was awake or asleep, he knew when she was worried, or happy, or if she was telling the truth or lying, and it was the same with her to him. They could tell if either was irked in any way. "Ro… I know you're awake." He whispered to her, she shifted in his grasp, then looked at him happily, "You figured that out didn't you?..." "I know you better than anyone else darlin'." "Hm, this is true." She said settling back down with him, "Thank you." She said happily, "For what?" "Being there, for me." "Part of my job Ro." She gave him a strange look for a minute. "And I love doin it for you." He said quickly, pulling her head closer to his and laying a kiss on her forehead. "I love you too James." They smiled to each other sealing their moment together with a kiss. Logan was very happy about the fact that she got to see her Father again. They went to sleep shortly after that.
