My husband and my best friend

My husband and my best friend


Doctor Jean Grey looked up at the large mansion, a mansion that hadn’t been either hers or Logan’s home in almost five years. She had no idea weather it could become that again, or if anyone would accept them after what they did to Scott and Rogue.

She smiled as she turned her gaze to her husband of almost four years, who currently was holding their six month old son, Matthew Lucas Grey. And their two year old daughter Lara Ann Grey, stood next to her mother, who held her little hand.

Both children were beautiful. Lara had her mothers red hair and facial features, but her father dark eyes, while Matthew looked like his father, with Logan’s hair but Jean’s eyes.

Lara was already starting to show great promise as a telepath like her mother. It was amazing she was only three, when usually a mutant’s mutation never reveals it self until they have at least reached puberty.

On top of that they expected Lara had also gained her fathers sense of hearing, smell, taste and his healing factor. Her sense of hearing and smell were very sensitive, more so then Jeans, or that of any other human. Plus when she had fallen over when she was two, her knees had immediately healed, without leaving so much as a bruise.

Jean spoke up quietly to Logan, so as not to wake their sleeping baby son. She knew he would be able to hear her perfectly with his extra sensitive hearing. “Logan, how do you think everyone will act? Do you think a lot would have changed since we’ve been gone, we have been gone almost five years after all?”

Logan replied gruffly, and also just as quietly as his wife “I have no idea Jeannie; we didn’t exactly leave this place on the best of terms last time we were here. I guess we’ll just have to take out chances and find out.”

Jean suddenly closed her eyes, as soon as she felt a presence inside of her head, a presence she had not felt in almost five years. It was Charles, she supposed he had sensed another telepath on the mansions grounds, and had checked it out, and discovered her.

Charles said to her telepathically ‘Jean I know you and Logan are on the grounds, come straight to my office, and bring with you, I suspect your children, if that is the cause of the extra mutants I can sense besides your self and Logan’

Jean sighed and said to Logan wearily “Logan, Charles knows we are here. He sensed both you and me. He also knows about Lara and Matthew, he sensed them, just like did you and I, he sensed two other mutants beside you and I.”

Logan froze and commented “What do you mean he sensed two other mutants? If that’s the case, it means not only Lara is a mutant, Matthew is as well, only his mutation hasn’t revealed it self yet.”

Jean nodded and replied “Exactly Logan. Also he wants us to go straight to his office, and of course also bring Lara and Matthew with us.” Logan stiffened and Jean sensed it. She soothed him “Don’t worry Logan; Charles would never harm our children. Never in a million years would Charles Xavier harm a child, innocent or not.”

Logan nodded and replied wearily “I know Jeannie, I’m just protective of them, they are still so little and young, so innocent to the world, I worry, is all.” Jean sighed and smiled as she said “I know Logan, I feel the same. That I must protect our babies at all costs. It’s only natural Logan, as their parents that we feel like this.”

Jean took a deep breath and walked a head, holding Lara’s hand all the while. Logan followed reluctantly, with a sleeping Matthew still cradled lovingly in his protective embrace.

Charles was waiting when Jean quietly knocked on the door to his office. He was dreading Scott and Marie’s reactions to their cheating ex’s return. Things would only be tense and awkward.

Scott and Marie had only just truly gotten over Jean and Logan, and moved on with each other. That was another thing, how would Jean and Logan react to the fact Marie was now Mrs. Summers, and was four months pregnant with the future summer’s twins? She already was starting to show.

Charles told Jean and Logan to enter. The sight that met Charles as soon as the door opened made him sigh. He noticed Jean, still looked just as lovely as he remembered. Only her hair was now passed her shoulders and seemed even more red then he remembered. Logan on the other hand hadn’t changed a bit. He was still the same old Logan.

Charles smiled slightly when he saw the little red haired girl, who holding onto Jean’s hand and was looked around shyly. But what really surprised him, was the way Logan was so lovingly and tenderly holding the little baby boy in his arms. He had never imagined Logan could have been so tender and gentle.

He sighed when he saw both Jean and Logan wearing matching golden wedding bands. Jean also had a small ruby cluster with diamonds on a golden band. Jean and Logan were married. Oh yes things would definitely be interesting when the others found out, he did not doubt it in the least.

Charles cleared his throat and asked, when Jean and Logan had each taken a seat, and Lara was sitting on Jean’s lap. “So it would seem your both married. May I ask your reason for returning after such a long absence, I and everyone else were under the impression you weren’t going to return?”

Jean spoke up “I missed my home. The mansion has been a home to me since I was in my late teens. No where over the last five years has felt truly like home to me, I also wanted my children to attend the best school for mutants, where I attended.”

Logan added “I knew Jeannie missed the mansion, plus I really missed Marie. I cheated on her yes, but I always swore to protect her. I neglected that promise, when I betrayed her and left. Jean understands that I know longer have those kinds of feelings for her, but she also understands that Marie was the first to accept me for who I am, she never once judged me.”

Charles nodded and said “Look listen there are a lot of changes around the mansion over the last five years. Some changes smaller then others, some life altering. Kitty Pride and St John married not long after you left. Kitty is seven months pregnant.” He added “Bobby Drake and Jubilee married last Christmas.”

He went on after a pause, and after he noticed Logan didn’t looked fazed in the least, but Jean on the other hand, she was grinning at the thought of those two couples. And the thought of having a baby Pyro running around soon enough.

“Ororo is dating a new mutant who arrived at the mansion just over a year ago. His name is Warren Warrington, also known as Angel, due to the fact he has wings.” He went on “Also Scott’s younger brother Alex turned up just over nine months ago, he is married to Marie’s younger sister Serenity. They are also now a part of the X-Men. Also Serenity recently gave birth to a little girl Sara Marie Summers.”

He noticed Jean’s eyes widen at the mention of Alex Summers. Knowing she had only seen him a few times. And also the fact Marie had a younger sister. That piece of information clearly surprised Logan as well. Charles went on “Alex and Serenity own a part in the company of Stanford and summer’s enterprises.”

He continued “Scott and Marie are also silent partners in the company, but don’t work at the company on a daily basis like Alex and Serenity do, they are just on hand if important or emergency decisions need to be made and carried out.”

He sighed and inwardly cringed at what he was about to reveal “As for Scott and Marie. Well, it is safe to say they have moved on and are over the two of you.” Jean and Logan didn’t know what to think of this. On one hand they were relieved they were able to move on, but on the other they were more then a little sad that their once loved ones had moved on without them being there to see it.

Charles visibly sighed and shifted in his wheel chair. Jean and Logan eyed him suspiciously when they noticed he looked more then a little uncomfortable. Logan asked “What aren’t you telling us Chuck?”

Charles sighed yet again and pinched the bridge of his nose and said “When I said Scott and Marie had moved, I meant they’ve moved on with each other.” Jean and Logan’s eyes widened slightly at this piece of information.

Jean asked “What you mean they are dating each other?” Charles chuckled and replied “Oh no not at all. I do believe they are so much more then that. The fact of the matter is that Scott and Marie Summers are expecting twins, Marie is four months pregnant with Scott’s twins.”

Jean choked out “You mean they’re married to each other?” Charles nodded and sighed looking at Logan disapprovingly when he growled “You mean one eye has knocked up Marie?” Even Jean glared at him for this and said “Oh honestly Logan, leave it alone. And please don’t use that foul term in front of our children, I don’t wish nor do I need them picking up on phases like that.”

Logan grumbled and asked “How long have they been married?” Charles replied “Almost nine months.” Logan snorted “Nine months, huh, they sure do work fast don’t they.” Charles chuckled and replied “Oh believe me, their private life is more then a little interesting to say the least. Lets just say St John and Kitty Pride soon found out rather quickly that there is no winning against them.”

Logan raised an eye brow at this, while Jean flushed. Charles’s meaning was more then loud and clear, when he described Scott’s and Rogue’s private life as more then a little interesting.

Charles gestured to the large photo on the wall behind him. “It was such a beautiful day, I was given the honour and opportunity of walking Marie down the isle and giving her away to Scott” He commented with evident pride and joy.

Jean and Logan took in the large photograph on the wall. It had been blown up and dominated half of the wall. If they had a hard time believing in the fact Scott and Marie were married, that notion was soon squashed.

Jean was stunned to see that Scott was not wearing his glasses or visor. And Marie she looked stunning. It was evident that Marie was no longer a teenager, like she was when they left. She was a woman. She and Logan quickly noticed the gems around Marie’s neck and in her ears. Logan was clearly floored over how beautiful Marie looked. And the fact one eye was not wearing glasses or a visor surprised Logan.

They noticed everyone in the photo. Ororo and Hank, Charles, A blond man who looked like Scott, who they automatically knew to be Alex, then there was a woman who looked almost exactly like Marie, but with darker wavy hair. It was obvious she was Serenity, Marie’s younger sister.

Also in the photo was, St John, Kitty Pride, Bobby Drake and Jubilation Lee. They noticed everyone was happy, as they beamed for the camera.
