It's been a year since you gave birth to (baby's name) and had agreed to be Jean's girlfriend. It had come as a complete surprise to you. You had just given birth to (baby's name) when Jean turned to face you and professed her love for you. You were still in shock after the pregnancy so it took quite a while to respond to her and ever since then, the two of you had been dating.
It hadn't surprised you how quick Jean had come to take the role of (baby's name) other parent. The only thing that was stopping the three of you from becoming an official family was just the papers that said you and Jean were married and that Jean had adopted (baby's name).
For the last two weeks, you've been trying to figure out how to ask Jean about both things. You knew that she was the one for you. No one else could ever compare to Jean.

You've got the ring and the papers that Jean would have to sign to officially adopt (baby's name). Now all you just needed was to pick the perfect date. You worried that the day you asked her would be the wrong one and eventually you would just delay asking her. You've had both things in your hand for the past week and you hadn't made a move or plans to ask her.
You let out a loud groan at the fact that another day had passed. You were just beginning to think that no day would be perfect to ask her.
"Is everything okay?"
You jump, startled about the fact that you hadn't realized that Jean was quietly cradling (baby's name) in the living room.
"Shit, Jean. You scared me."
She laughs quietly, quickly putting her finger on her lips to quiet you.
"I just got her to sleep. Give me a second."
You nod and watch as she heads upstairs to lay her down on the crib. She comes back and turns on the baby monitor. It wasn't needed as the two of you could use your powers but it gave the two of you a sense of peace to be able to watch her.
"Come on. Spill. You've been like this since the beginning of the week. What's going on."
Jean tugs your hand so the two of you could lay down on the couch.
"It's nothing, Jean. I'm just stressed."
"I'll say. I can feel the stress the moment you come into the apartment. What's stressing you out? Maybe I can help?"
You shake your head, burying your face in her neck. There was no way you were going to spoil the surprise because you just couldn't figure out a way to make the proposal special.
"Okay, okay. You don't have to tell me. We can just lie here."
Jean just laughs as you nod.

A month passes and you're a nervous wreck as you wait for Jean to come home. Inspiration had struck in the middle of the night and you had spent the majority of the morning to plan the surprise. Jean had gone to the X-Mansion to teach classes and you thankfully had the day off. The lock is turning and you quickly dim the lights and get on one knee in the middle of the room.
"..(y/n)?"
Jean covers her mouth as she looks down at you and then the wring. This had been the last thing she had expected when you demanded for her to come home on time.
"Jean, you've been with me through thick and thin. You were there for my pregnancy and you take care of (baby's name) like one of your own. She is one of your own. The only thing that is missing to make it official is the adoption papers. I've known you were the one since the beginning. I love you and I can't picture my life without you. Will you marry me and officially adopt (baby's name) as your own."
