I'll See You When I Fall Asleep

It's A Girl!

Alex made his way into bed after a long day of hard work. He was, after all, part of the Avengers Unity Squad. Jean sat on the bed, reading one of her favorite books, The Giver. She looked up and sighed as she saw him being incredibly tired. But she understood. It was part of the job-Even if she hated the fact that the perpretator of mutant genocide, Wanda Maximoff, worked alongside Alex. Jean understood.

But she didn't want to think about that. Her mind was on the future that was quickly approaching. Jean looked down at her belly and smirked, pondering whether or not to tell Alex that their child would be a lovely baby girl. She of course, chose the latter. "So I found out something today..." She said, trying to ad a little mystery. Alex turned around, his t-shirt showed his perfectly toned muscle, which Jean couldn't resist. "Which was?" He tilted his head, filled with curiosity. "Well... Hank might have accidentally slipped the sex of the baby." Jean bit her lip and crossed her arms, hoping to get a quick reaction from Alex. He smiled and laughed, walking towards the bed. "So is it a baby boy or a beautiful baby girl?" He asked. "Well, remember the names we chose? Chris if it was a boy and Brie if it was a girl? Try guessing, lets make this fun!" Jean declared, knowing that Alex would most definitely get it wrong. "Hmm... I hate guessing game but because it's about our baby I'll say...Chris?" Alex smirked, awaiting for Jean's reply.

She shook her head...

"It's a girl."

She could see something in Alex change dramatically. No longer was he smirking-He had a warm smile and she could swear she saw his eyes sparkle with tears. He climbed into bed with Jean and uncovered her belly. He lowered his head down as his lip quivered. "H- Hey Brie... It's your dad." He whispered. Jean pressed her lips into a thin line, trying to hold back the tears. It was the cutest moment in her life, she decided. "I promise, I'll try to be a good father to you and not screw this up royally. But promise me you won't cause mommy much pain and discomfort, okay?" He kept whispering, which made baby Brie kick Jean's stomach. "Holy cow, she kicked!" Jean gasped and laughed. Alex smiled and laughed, rubbing the belly gently. He didn't want to leave Brie's side so he stayed there all night. Keeping guard of Jean and Brie, his two reasons to live and fight. He placed his hand on top of the belly, protecting the unborn child, while mother to be slept comfortably, knowing her true love was keeping her safe.

Morning came and Jean woke up early, as always. She found Alex on the edge of the bed, which made her chuckle slightly. It was just too sweet to see him worry too much about her.

She decided to shower and eat breakfast. Afterwards, she got a marvelous idea. She called up her old pal, Robert Reynolds, the man known as the Sentry. He'd recently had a baby with his wonderful wife, the gorgeous redhead Mary Jane Watson. Baby Alison Reynolds, as she'd been named,

"Of course I can meet up with you, Jeannie." Robert said with a chuckle, while feeding Ali. Jean smiled and chuckled as well. "Great! I'll see you around three o'clock at Westchester park, got it?" Jean asked. Robert nodded, "Marvelous, I'll see you then, Jeannie." He replied.

Scott and Alex entered the kitchen after sparring for a few minutes in the Danger Room. Scott was definitely not in a happy mood, something Jean quickly took a notice of. "What's up, boys?" She asked the Summers brothers. "Well, Ms. Frost decided to play a little prank on us and made the session a whole lot harder than it was intended to be. Afterwards, I think she went back into her room to bang that guy I honestly don't like-Killian." Scott said. Jean contained the laughter and shook her head. "Well... I did hear some noises last night coming from your room. Care to explain?" Jean asked enthusiastically. "What makes you say that?" Scott raised a brow. Alex groaned and shook his head. "Great, I know that my older brother got fucked by an animal last night-Perfect." Alex said. Scott scoffed. "Well yes, I did get laid last night." Scott said, winking at his frowning younger sibling, while grabbing his cherries. "Great, sassy Scott. Just what the fucking X-Men needed..." Jean said sarcastically. Scott shot a glare towards her direction which was received with a fake smile. "Anyhow, what are your plans for today?" Alex asked Jean. She shrugged, "Well, I'm actually meeting up with Rob today, just discuss life and babies and... Whatever else pops into our heads." A chill went down Alex's spine. "Tell Rob I will never forgive him for punching me after he found out you were pregnant. Seriously, talk about overprotective." Alex said. Jean chuckled, remembering the day as if it was yesterday. "Hey, Rob is like a father to me. He'll always protect me, especially if a certain Summers hurts me. Besides, MJ is like a sister to me and baby Ali like as niece. Don't complain." Jean said.
