It was two o'clock in the morning at the Institute, and the entire mansion was silent, save for the quiet murmerings of some talk show host and the tiny bursts of canned laughter eminating from the television in the Sitting Area. But Mrs. Grey, resident doctor, telekinetic and X-Man wasn't focused on the television. Her lovely eyes, usually filled with emotion, whether it be anger, passion, love, laughter, were distant. Her mind had been far away as of late, with wonderings and unfinished thoughts. But that morning, she realized that sometimes peace of mind is an even bigger hassle. Brushing back a few firey locks halfheartedly, she sighed and continued with her staring into space.
(( Wolvie, come here! ))

Wolerine peeked his head around the corner. He had woken from a dream, and seeing that Jean had left the room, had followed after her. "Hey," he said entering the sitting area, "What are you doing out here? I'm the insomniac, remember?"

Turning slowly to face Logan, she snapped out of it and smiled slightly. "Hey, lover." Moving over on the couch so he could sit if she wanted to, she looked over to the clock, and realized the time. Oh. "Just thinking. About everything. The school, you, me, the students, John's test results..." Something else was on the tip of her tongue, you didn't have to read her mind to see that. "How are you doing? Another... dream?"

"So what else is new, right?" He sat down on the couch with her and looked at her with his big brown puppy-dog eyes. "Is something bothering you?" Something wasn't the same about her, but he couldn't put his finger on what.

"Not wrong. No." Mrs. Grey shook her head in a very defeated manner, before raising her hand to her forehead. Thoughts, thoughts, she was picking up on everything lately... "I mean, I'm not ill. Just wondering about some things. Like us."

"What about us?" Logan looked a little worried.

"Oh, not exactly us, it's more like..." Casting her green eyes around the room, she appeared to be looking for a sign, anything to make this easier. Or at least get it out of her mouth. "More like, me. Have you noticed anything different lately?"

"Um... maybe a little, but nothing overly dramatic." He wrapped his arm around her. "I love you no matter what," he said, delivering the line that they all learned when they went to man school.

Jean pulled her legs up and tucking them partially under her, leaning into him, but at the same time mentally screaming at herself. What was wrong with her? She wasn't a child! And why would she fear his reaction? She loved him, he loved her... Nothing could really change that... Right? "Well, what if... What if our situation were to change... slightly?"

"What do you mean?" Logan was intrigued. He'd love Jean no matter what, but something was definately off. There was something she wasn't telling him. Something about her...

"I love you so much." She said, breathing deeply and snuggling closer to Logan. 'Jean, do it.' She hissed in her mind. "And I... Well, more to say we... Well, no, I..."

If one could die from suspence, Logan would have been buried and his grave site covered with grass already. "Yes?"

Jean gently took the hand not around her shoulders, as if to comfort him during what she was sure would be a blow. "... Logan, I'm pregnant."

Logan blinked a couple times, his brain slowly registering what he had just been told. "You're?" he laughed a little then went back to looking dumbfounded, though he still had a stupid grin on his face. "Tha-That's that's wonderful."

Jeans whole face lit up, half with suprise and half in happiness. "Really? I mean, yes, I thought so and... Oh, wow." Jean wasn't thinking to clearly right now, as she gently squeezed Logan's hand in hers. "I'm pregnant..." She murmered once more under her breath, as if just getting it.
