Feral Family Affairs

About Damned Time

It took a tiny bit longer for K and the twins to get the okay to get out of the lab since James had had such a hard time getting started. But ... eventually, the little family made their way up to the dining room to introduce little James and Rose to the extended family. Of course, when they got there, Jean had been sure to allow someone else to hold Rachel simply so she could more easily make herself available to hold one of the newborns.

But ... to Jean's utter surprise, Logan walked past her - only barely edging her out of the way to hand James to Scott. From where she was sitting, she could barely appreciate the look of perfect shock on Scott's face as he smiled down at James in pure disbelief before K carefully slipped Rose into her arms. "Thought you'd want a moment before we disappear with Abbey," K said to Scott, who could only smile wider as he nodded his head - already well beyond words.

"Kurt's been bragging that he gets two, but Abbey's going to be an amazing big sister," Scott said as he grinned at the little boy. "She can't wait to spend some time with them."

"And Jeannie-" Logan started to say, but she cut him off before he could get there.

"So ... does that count as the legal choices too?" Jean asked with a not-at-all convincing innocent expression.

"Maybe," Logan said. "Pretty sure it's a requirement for 'em to have a pretty redhead on deck and ready to go."

"Oh? Heather then?" Scott teased, which got a gasp from Jean just before Scott broke down laughing to himself.

"No," Logan replied, shaking his head. "Natasha's still the pick there. You two get the second slot if she can't handle it."

Both Jean and Scott looked up - more than a little surprised at the choice. "I didn't realize that she was the family type," Jean said before she glanced down at the sleeping little girl in her arms and shifted to a slightly more protective hold on her.

"Shouldn't have to be," K added. "We're a little harder to kill than the average bear, so ..."

"Yeah, we know. You're hoping it's not the case. We're just going to make sure it's not the case," Scott said, still smirking since James wasn't anywhere near as sleepy as Rose was and he was staring up at Scott with an open expression that only newborns are capable of.

"That's the general idea, yeah," Logan agreed.

"Like we'd let them be separated anyhow," Jean scoffed as Rose let out a yawn that seemed far too big for her tiny body. "Are you sure ...."

"Jeannie, we haven't got anything legal made up. If we were to croak tomorrow, that'd leave you with all three of our little ones- and every one of 'em are probably gonna be like me. I'm not doing that to anyone," Logan deadpanned - though he stopped cold when Scott spoke up.

"I wouldn't mind," Scott said, mostly to James as he smiled down at that little guy. "They're not trouble when they're this little."

Logan stared at him for a moment but K cut in to stop the shock factor. "Okay. That's enough for you. If you want a son, you're going to have to get to work on it yourself."

"I'm just saying hello," Scott defended - still smiling as he watched little James. "He's just so little ..."

"Yeah. Wonder where he gets that from," K said as Scott barely held back a laugh and then very gently handed him back to K.

"I'll be next to you at the wedding," Jean promised K as she handed Rose back to Logan. "We'll take the twins so you can do your last minute thing with Kitty, okay?"

"Like Charles isn't dying to hold one," K replied as the little family headed off to retrieve Abbey from Kurt. As it turned out, the two of them were having a proper tea party - if you counted swinging from ropes wearing tricots proper tea party behavior.
