"Hey,"
Logan snuck up behind Jean.
"Hi," she smiled, turning to
give him a kiss.
"Mama...no," he grumbled, trying to
push his parents apart by wedging in between their knees. When it
occurred to James that Logan was a permanent resident of Jean's room,
he became a little possessive of his mother.
"Oh, not again,"
Jean sighed.
"Listen, you..." Logan picked James
up.
"What," James muttered under his breath.
"You
love Mama, and so do I. So, we're just gonna have to share,
okay?"
"Okay," James sighed.
"Good boy,"
Logan placed a kiss on James' cheek, whose mood improved as he
squirmed and laughed from Logan's facial hair.
"Remind you of
anyone," Jean asked as he swatted James on the rear gently,
sending him off to play.
"He knows a good woman when he sees
one," Logan smirked, though she saw a flicker of disappointment
in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"It's been three
months," Logan frowned.
"It's gonna take some time, he's
only two," she reminded him.
"We repeat it to him all
the time," he sighed, sitting on the couch.
"You have to
remember, he runs to you, he smiles at you."
"He does
that with Bobby," Logan grunted.
"He'll make the
connection," she reassured him.
James ran up, smiling at
Logan, his earlier aggravation over their kissing long
forgotten.
"C'mere you," Logan picked James up under the
armpits, and his son giggled because he knew what was
happening.
Logan growled, and nibbled playfully at James' neck.
James squirmed, and Logan started tickling him.
"Mama,"
James squealed.
"I can't help you, honey," Jean
laughed.
Logan lifted his son's shirt, and blew a noisy raspberry
on his stomach, making him scream with glee. Jean smiled at seeing
Logan so open with James, always interested in what James had to show
him, wanting to teach him something new.
"Think I should get
Mama," Logan asked.
"Yes!"
"Oh no, don't
bring me into this," Jean pushed away from the back of the
couch.
"C'mere, you'll only make it worse," he
growled.
"That does not work on me," she laughed, trying
to resist the urge to run.
"I only had to look at you to make
you run back then," he smirked.
"You're lookin' at me
now, does it look like I'm running," she asked with a
smile.
Logan had her over his shoulder before she could react to
him lunging for her, carrying her over to the couch.
"Let me
down," she laughed.
"No problem," he tossed her onto
the cushions, crawling on top of her as he growled.
"Big Wolvie," James giggled as Logan sniffed along Jean's neck, licking her jaw lightly.
"Go get help, oh I'm so scared," Jean pretended with James, who ran off as fast as his little legs could carry him.
"He shares well enough with Paro…maybe we should give him a full-time playmate to learn to share with," Logan commented casually.
"Logan," she admonished, smiling up at him.
"What?"
"Another baby," she asked in disbelief.
"Couldn't hurt," he shrugged.
"You weren't there for the birth," she smiled wryly.
"Jean, he's my boy…" Logan began hesitantly.
"I know you're hurt that he doesn't call you Daddy. Another baby would take that much longer to learn to say it, it won't be long."
"So no more babies," he asked.
"Let James get a little older, then we'll see."
Logan kissed Jean, moving so he could lie next to her.
"He loves you."
"I know he does," Logan sighed.
"Don't the two of you do anything around here," Bobby frowned, carrying James who had run into the Iceman first.
"Big Wolvie's got Mama!"
Logan growled, wrapping his arm and leg around her.
"I am a hostage, my day is completely full," Jean deadpanned.
