Bored

Chapter 41

Six months later, on the Island…

Jubilee sat in the living room of their house, reading a book by Charles Dickinson, but got bored after a while. Sighing miserably, she tossed the book aside, and slowly pushed herself up. Being pregnant made getting around a little harder, especially when you have your own personal doctor keeping a very attentive eye on you.

"Now, Mrs. Creed." cried the doctor, rushing over to aid her, "You mustn't-"

"For the umpteenth time, doc, I'm not Victor Creed's wife!"

"I'm sorry, but with the way you two act, it's hard not to believe that you're not married to one another." Jubilee twitched her tail irately. He continued, "But honestly, Mrs.- Uh… I mean, Miss Lee. You really shouldn't be moving around so much. Especially when you're in this stage of your pregnancy. It's not really healthy for you nor the baby."

Jubilee sighed, "I know, but neither is me sitting around doing nothing. I need fresh air! I need excitement or something!"

"Be careful what you wish for, Miss Lee. You just might get it."

"Yeah, well… Almost anything would be better than sitting around here and watching myself get fatter and fatter everyday. Where's Victor? Maybe I can sweet talk him into taking back to the main land for some enjoyable shopping."

"He's out front, but I don't think he's in the mood to talk right now. He just came back from the main land and let's just say that him and his financial advisor didn't quite see eye to eye."

"His financial advisor?" she raised an eyebrow, "Why would he need a financial advisor?"

"Victor Creed doesn't tell me anything. To him, I'm only here to watch after you and his future child, and nothing else."

"That's Victor alright. Oh, well, I'm still going to ask him to take me to the main land."

"Don't say I didn't try to warn you."

"Yeah. Yeah." Jubilee walked out to the front porch where she found Victor sitting on the front steps, "Hey, Vic."

Creed turned to look at her, "Hey, Snow. Whatcha want?"

"What makes ya think I want anything?" she asked sweetly.

"Come on, Jubes. The only time you ever come to me is if ya want something'."

"Awe, Vicky-Poo! Can't I just come to you without wanting something?"

"No." he said flatly, "And don't call me Vicky-Poo! It's disturbing. So, whaddya want?"

Smiling mischievously, Jubilee sat down next to Creed, and hugged onto his arm, making sure that he couldn't get away. She looked up at him with big blue eyes and said as sweetly as she could, "Could you, please take me to the mainland? It's so boring around here."

"Hell no! If we go to the mainland now, we're sure to be seen by one of Weapon X's ops."

"But you go all the time."

"That's because I know how to keep a low profile."

"Oh, and I don't?"

"Sorry, Jubilee, but with your features you stick out like a sore thumb."

She got angry and pushed herself away from him, mumbling under her breath, "Well, I wouldn't stick out so much if you didn't let Weapon X snag me that night."

"I heard that."

"Good!" she stood up and started to head back inside the house, but Creed grabbed her wrist. Gritting her teeth, she snarled at him, "Let go of me, Creed! I'm not in the mood for this!"

"I ain't lettin' ya go, until you've calmed down some." she tried to pull herself freed, but he simply pulled her onto his lap and held her firmly, but not too much to hurt her or their unborn child. "I know yer stressed and bored from not having anything to do around here. An' I know you hate not being able to go outside after dark cause of those things out there, but ya gotta understand that this Island is our only hope to keep Logan and Weapon X from finding us."

"I know…" she leaned her head into his chest, a single tear ran down her cheek, "It's just… Hard. I miss being able to shop in malls and being able to do the things that I use to do before I turned into this. I also miss my friends…"

Creed sighed, he gently hugged her, and whispered in her ear, "Get dressed. I'm takin' ya to the mainland, so we can do some shopping for the baby."

Jubilee looked up at him in surprise, "Really?"

"Yeah." he smiled, "Plus I wouldn't mind gettin' some sparin' equipment, so I can teach the little tike to fight."

Jubilee smiled and kissed him on the lips, "Thank you, Vic."

He chuckled, then cleared his throat, quickly regaining his manly composure, "Now hurry up or else I'm gonna leave yer ass behind."

With that Jubilee made her way back into the house, after she came back out, they headed to their boat and sailed back to the mainland.
