I'll See You When I Fall Asleep

Never Leave Your Man With His Bros

After saying goodbye to Rob, Jean decided she would do the one thing every pregnant woman did best—Buy junk food for her and her baby. She drove to the local restaurant where she went all out on ordering; 1 hamburger, 1 milkshake, fries, and a cupcake. “Will that be all?” Asked the friendly cashier. Jean thought for a moment but quickly shrugged. “No, that will be all.” She replied with a smile.

            But even then, she wouldn’t be able to enjoy her meal…

            Pizza cartons, plastic bottles, shirts, shorts and cans of Red Bull—Just a /few/ of the things Jean found as she walked into her room. This was, of course, a mess from her boys. Alex, Scott, Bobby, Kurt and Warren. They didn’t even notice the redhead as they were too busy playing Grand Theft Auto 5. They kept yelling at the screen as if the game would magically come to reality. “BEAT THAT HOE, ALEX!” yelled Bobby as Alex kept /beating up the game hoe/ . Jean looked at the game then back at the men. “And these are the times when I feel as though as if I married a child…” Jean told herself, “And sometimes the children of the institute are more mature than the adults…” she finished, then proceeded to clear her throat as loudly as possible. The men slowly, carefully and worriedly turned their heads to face the pregnant woman. She crossed her arms and frowned. “So. Who would like to start explaining?” She asked. Bobby pointed at Alex who then pointed at Scott—Who then pointed back at Alex. Alex frowned and shook his head. “Here for each other… My ass.” He mumbled angrily.

Jean turned her head towards Scott and raised a brow. “Aren’t you supposed to be with Logan and baby Eli? Or being the fucking face of mutantkind?!” Jean asked with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. Scott looked up and stuttered, “Y- Yes, ma’am…” He said softly.

She then turned her attention over to Bobby Drake. It’s like the new ice age and world war collided, he thought. “Robert, aren’t you supposed to be taking Lorna out on a date? You know damn well that’s Magneto’s daughter—You don’t want her to call her father and his brotherhhod because you missed out on your date, now do you?’ She asked, trying to get Bobby nervous. His eyes widened at the mention of Magneto. He got up and walked straight to Alex, patting him in the back and giving Jean’s stomach a slight wave goodbye.

Jean then went onto Warren Worthington. The mutant Tony Stark looked down at the ground with occasional glances at Jean. “I’m just going to—“ He was cut short by Jean, “I really hope you have a good explanation for Betsy. Instead of spending quality time with her, you decide to join these men. /Shame/ on you, Warren. /Shame/.” Jean said as a means of guilt tripping Warren. Warren pressed his lips together silently. “You’re right, Jeannie—My bad. I’ll see you gentlemen soon… I hope…” Warren said, power walking out of the bedroom.

As Jean turned to face Kurt Wagner, the teleporting German mutant did just that—He teleported away. “Du bist auf eigene faust!” Kurt said quickly, before disappering into a bamf. Scott’s jaw dropped as he saw Kurt disappear. “Wha—Huh? I'm left alone?!” He said. "No one said you had to stay..." Jean said. "Ohh. Good luck, baby brother." Scott said, getting up and walking out of the bedroom, again, angrily mumbling under his breath.

That left Alex and Alex alone. He gulped, looking up to see his pregnant and angry wife.”Sooo…” He said nervously. Jean furrowed her brow, “So?”

“We had a party… Sorta. And it /might/ have gotten slightly out of control. /slightly/. We got caught up playing video games and we ordered food and it was meant to end before you got back, /but/ the game is just too damn interesting.” Alex said, playing with his fingers. “Jeannie, I swear I’m so sorry. I’ll clean up and I’ll clean up for the rest of the year. But /please/ forgive me.” Alex put a puppy face on, trying to charm Jean. He didn’t really know what to expect. Maybe a slap to the face? Maybe being sent to sleep with Doop? Or worst, with Wolverine and Scott. Well, I do deserve it, he thought.

But all he heard was laughter.

He looked at Jean with a puzzled look on his face. “Jeannie? Are you ok?” He asked, wondering if her laughter was a hormonal side effect. He walked towards Jean, though very carefully. She nodded and kept laughing. “You should have seen you guys faces! Hilarious! Ahh, now I know how to scare the shit out of you, Alex.” Jean said. “Well… A pregnant omega level mutant who can easily become Phoenix… Not someone I want to mess with, right?” He said with an uneasy chuckle. “Besides, I really didn’t want the boys in here. They made their way in and one thing led to another.”He shrugged. “Well, alright. I guess I’ll let it slip just this once. We need to get in parenting mode—For Brie. No more.. Beating up /hoes/…” Jean said. Alex’s eyes widened and s light blush appeared on his face. “You umm, heard that?” He asked. Jean nodded, “It was impossible not to. By the way, Rob doesn’t care if you forgive him. On the contrary, if you impregnate me again, he'll castrate you.” She chuckled. “Thought so. But castration? That's a bit rough on the family jewels” He chuckled as well. Jean moved into his arms, which he quickly wrapped around her. "I love you so much." She said softly. Alex kissed her forehead and smiled. "I love you too, Red."
