This is the last chapter ladies and gents! Thanks to all the loyal fans and a special thanks to Lavender Gaia, Wen1, and jenskott for being my first reviewers ever!
Sorry for the delay. I had surgery on my foot and I was under the weather for a lot of days. I have a cast which I have scribbled GO JOTT! all over. GO JOTT!
I am unworthy to own X-Men. They belong to Stan Lee who belongs to his mother.
None of the movies are mine either.
The final chapter of 'the seatbelt sign should be on at all times' called 'Doritos, Anyone?'
"Kata, Kristen, and Kiara. Interesting choice of names, Ororo" acknowledged Jean.
"I didn't name all of them" responded the weather witch, "I named one, and Logan and X23 named the others."
"Which one did you name?" asked Emma.
The three new mothers were sitting in the common room of the Xavier Mansion. They're husbands had gone out with the babies to give them a day to rest. The rest of the mansion's female population thought that is was a good idea and therefore shooed their own boyfriends, best friends, and brothers out of the house for the day.
"I named Kiara. It's an African name that was common among my people."
"Interesting" commented Rachel as she walked into the room with Kitty and X23.
"Who named Kata?" asked Shadowcat.
"That was Logan" X23 responded for her. "He said it's Japanese for a fighting form"
"Kid's gonna love that…" muttered Betsy as she walked in with chip bowls and popcorn.
"So that means that you named Kristen. Right, X?"
"Yeah. Like the actress Kristen Dunst"
"I didn't know that you liked Kristen Dunst" said Ororo to her adopted daughter.
"I don't" she responded. "I just thought the baby looked like her."
The women laughed.
Rachel and Kitty entered a few minutes later with pizza and chips which she handed out among the gathered women.
"Did I tell you who I talked to the other night?" Kitty asked Jean.
"No. Who?"
"Rahne. It turns out that while you guys were missing, Jamie got her pregnant and she's going to have a boy in 1 week."
Jean gawked.
"What? So soon?"
"Well, she is part dog" supplied Rachel.
"You hear that ladies?" Betsy turned to Ororo and Emma. "Your girls already have a potential boyfriend!"
"Don't even go there, Braddock" muttered Emma.
The rest of the women laughed.
Just then, the 3 Stepford Cukoos entered the room followed soon after by Moonstar, Karma, and a multitude of female students.
The students talked among themselves about random things (a/n: Not the game. Literally random things) from boys to fashion to mutant powers while the teachers and staff discussed school related material.
After about 20 minutes, Rachel stood up and cleared her throat. The girls were silent.
"Ahem…Ladies and…well…Gentle-Ladies!" The girls giggled.
"Today, on our first annual 'Spend a Day without Guys Day', our movie choices are…drum roll please!"
The girls and women did multiple drum rolls on their thighs.
"Pirates of the Caribbean!" She held up the movie and the girls went wild.
"Ocean's Twelve!" Another roar of approval.
"The Notebook!" A similar response.
"Spiderman 2!" Some students began chanting "Tobey! Tobey! Tobey!" with the cheers.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand!" she held up the final movie, squinted at the title, shrugged her shoulders and threw it behind her. She went to the movie cabinet and picked out another movie.
"And, the favorite classic, The Princess Bride!" Another wave of cheers erupted, its loudest voices being that of the teachers.
"Now" she announced, "I will take a mental poll to see which movie you wish to see first"
She closed her eyes and most of the students did likewise to project their thoughts to her.
She opened her eyes and announced the winner.
"Our ladies say…Pirates of the Caribbean!"
Two different chants erupted. Half of the girls chanted "Orli! Orli! Orli!" and the other half chanted "Johnny! Johnny! Johnny!"
Jean was the only one who wasn't joining in. She sat there, biting her lip and contemplating what to do.
The food began being passed around and she somehow ended up holding the bowl of Doritos. Her mouth watered but she didn't take anything.
Rachel sat down next to her and popped in the movie with her powers. She looked over to her mother.
"Mom? Are you OK?" she asked.
Jean looked at the bowl of Doritos, then at the Johnny Depp movie, then at Emma who was shooing some girls out of the way so that she could see the movie. Jean had to hide a smile.
"No, I'm not feeling well. I'm going to go to my room. Can you check up on me when the movie's over?"
Rachel looked a bit disappointed but nodded.
Emma overheard Jean and turned to look at her as she got up and walked away.
"Hum, your loss" she said to her while turning back to the movie.
Jean smiled to herself as she heard Emma's comment.
Not entirely
Not the longest chapter, I know, but I hope I ended it well. If you didn't read the first chapter, then you won't get the ending of this one.
Don't be disappointed though. I have good news! I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico (which isn't mine either)!
Ok, not really, but I do have good news! Drum roll please!
(buda buda buda buda buda buda buda buda buda buda pish!)
THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL!
That's right! The story of Jessica, Emily, Kristen, Kiara, and Kata is to be continued in the sequel to "The Seatbelt Sign Should Be On At All Times" to be called "The Grandchildren of the Atom" You'll get to see the return of the X-babies in this story plus the addition of other X-children like Rahne and Jamie's boy. Yeah, I know it's been done, but you've never seen it like this!
It'll probably come out when I have On the Outside of Eden on a roll. Be sure to look out for it!
One last thing before I finish: the naming of Ororo's babies. Kiara is the name of Simba's daughter in The Lion King II, Kata is indeed Japanese for a fighting form (I know because I do martial arts), and Kristen is the name of my Confirmation godmother.
That's my story! Thanks for tuning in!
Strayphoenix, over and out!
