Logan stood in a dark corner across from the stairs and watched Scott, Jean and Joey walk in the front door. Joey was asleep and being carried by Scott. Jean walked closely by carrying jackets and a happy meal box. Logan knew in his heart he still loved Jean but his head was telling him to hate her. He still hated Scott, he always would. He fought with himself to keep him from jumping down those stairs and attacking Scott and possibly killing him. But he knew he would have to keep the peace somehow but the thought of him and Scott getting along made him sick. He had to do it if he was going to find a permanent home here. One bit of harm to anyone here would see him being sent far away from this place he recalled Xavier saying when he spoke to him a few days ago. He had to stay here, he wanted to watch over Rogue. She meant a lot to him and he was sure he meant a lot to Rogue too. With that thought and the fact that the three mutants were walking towards the stairs, he made himself scarce. He would try to wait until morning to stand face to face with them.

"I am so tired." Jean said as she made her way up the stairs slightly hanging onto the banister. "Think I'm going to pay for this meal in the morning."

"No you won't," Scott said following her. "You haven't morning sickness in weeks."

"Men, you think you know everything." She replied and stuck her tongue out at him. Scott laughed and Joey slightly stirred in Scott's arms.

"Shh.." Scott whispered. "Go back to sleep."

"Well, I like to think I know some things about your pregnancy." Scott said. "I was good and helpful with your last. Why should this be any different?"

Jean sighed. "You go put him to bed. I need to lie down and I'm going to fall asleep in the hall."

"Ok, I'll be back soon." Scott said and made his way down the hall.

She saw him go into Joey's room and looked down at her stomach. "I hope you are a girl."

"Hey," A low voice came from behind her. She jumped and looked around, her arms raised in defence.

"Oh, Logan." Jean said. "I thought you were someone else."

"So, you're pregnant, again." Logan said looking down slightly. "Guess a congratulations is in order."

"Logan," She said and reached from a hand and held it. "I'm glad you came back, I was worried about you."

"Why?" He asked in disgust.

"Logan, it was my fault everything happened the way it did." She said. "It wasn't Scott, you can't take it out on him. I'm glad you're back."

"Yeah right," Logan said and smirked.

"Logan I really am. Things may have not worked out right for us in a romantic sense, but I still want to be your friend." Jean said and reached out touching his shoulder.

"I don't want to be your friend." Logan said. "I want to be more. I can forgive Jean."

"No Logan." Jean said and took a step back breaking contact with him. "I love Scott. You know that. Me and Scott, we were meant to be."

"So I was just an interlude?" Logan said and walked closer to her and leaned to whisper in her ear. "There's a name for people like that. I just thought better of you." He walked off down the hall and Jean felt tears sting her eyes.

Scott walked to the door of Joey's room and turned his light off. He smiled as he saw Joey hugging his little Cyclops teddy and smiled. He yawned and opened the door.

"Daddy?" Joey said rising from his bed. "I'm really happy that Mommy is having a baby."

Scott smiled and quickly walked back over to him. When they had told Joey about the pregnancy, he was quiet and didn't respond much. This was the first time he said anything about the baby and Scott was happy that is was positive.

"I'm glad you're happy Joey. Everyone is happy about it." Scott said and sat beside him. "And you're going to be a big brother." It brought tears to Scott's eyes and he thought about his own little brother. "You are going to be the best big brother ever, you're going to watch over your baby brother or sister."

Joey nodded and smiled. "Yup, I'm going to take good care of him. I want a little brother." He said. "But I little sister would be good too."

Scott smiled and hugged him. "You get some sleep little guy. You're going to need all your sleep for this baby." He tucked him in and kissed him. "You take good care of the baby Joey. We're all going to be a happy family."

Joey nodded and Scott left the room. Once he closed the door, he let all his tears fall from his eyes. He quickly made it down the hall and down to the sub basement. He went straight into the gym and found a punching bag waiting for him in the centre of the room. He hit it at full force. And again, harder. Each time was harder and more aggressive. Even the man who looked on was shocked at Scott's strength as he punched away at the bag. He wouldn't be surprised if it was knocked right off the ceiling. This was not a good night for Logan and he wanted to get out of this room as soon as possible. But Scott would see him. Just then the door to the gym opened and Jean walked in and tried to restrain Scott.

"Scott stop it." She said trying to pull him back. "Look at your hands Scott, please stop it."

Scott's hands were covered in blood as he continued to punched the bag. Jean sensed Logan's presence in the room and looked over. "Logan help me!" She shouted and he came out from the shadows.

"Take it out on me One-Eye." Logan said walking towards him and Scott stopped dead looking at Logan. He ran towards him and attacked him and they both beat each other senseless. Jean wanted to break them up but she knew they both had to do this. It was the only way forward. She saw Scott getting weaker and weaker and eventually he fell to the floor and burst out crying.

"I couldn't save him." Scott choked out and Logan looked at Jean as she walked over.

"I'll take care of him," She said to Logan and he walked out of the gym.

Logan felt good but bad at the same time. He was so glad to beat the shit out of Scott but what did he do? He caused Scott to break down like that. What did he do? He thought to himself as he walked out of the elevator. He saw the small figure walking on the other end of the hall.

"Jo…." Rogue started to shout but saw Logan in front of her. "Logan," She said and quickly made her way down the hall. She hugged him slightly and quickly focused her attention back to Joey.

"Joey, come back." She said and ran after him. Logan looked at Joey and saw some of Scott in him. He'd just beat up that kids dad. It had to stop. For that boy's sake and for the sake of that unborn baby. He knew it was the right thing to do, but there was so much anger still there. Logan looked at Rogue and Joey seeing the boy's tears stabbed him in the heart. He went over and kneeled down beside him and Rogue and gave him a hug.

"You're Dad is just upset just now kid," Logan said. "Come on we'll get you back to sleep."

Rogue looked up to Logan, seeing the responsibility he took upon the boy. "Ok Logan," Joey said and took his hand.

"You coming?" He asked Rogue and she nodded walking with them.

Jean and Scott had been sitting in the gym for five minutes now in almost silence apart from the sobs that Scott was letting out. He was curled around Jean and she held him tight whispering words of comfort. She sensed in her mind that Joey was hurting for a brief second but now he seemed to be calm and almost asleep. She couldn't get her head round what had happened over the last half hour. Logan bringing her to tears, Scott suddenly having a full on rage then fighting with Logan and now Logan was sitting with Joey trying to get him to sleep. She had try to find out what was wrong with Scott and what caused his sudden outburst but he kept her out. His sobs had started to calm now and he was starting to relax and coming back to his senses.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for that all to happen Jean." He whispered. "I just needed to get it out."

"Get what out Scott?" She asked softly stroking his hair.

"Al….Alex." He choked out. "I failed him."

"Scott, you know that's not true." Jean said and held him more tightly. "You tried your best to save him, you were only a child yourself Scott."

"I promised I would take care of him and I didn't." He said and stood up.

"You can't change what happened that day Scott." She said and stood up with him. "I know your parents and Alex will be so proud of you. You've taken care of me and your son."

"I hope so." Scott said and looked at his hands.

"Come on, I'll see to them." Jean said and walked out to the infirmary.

Scott sat in the kitchen a few hours later watching the morning sun rise. He played around with the soggy cornflakes he had poured himself over a half hour ago. He only had one spoon full and it had made him feel sick.

Logan walked into the kitchen looking at him and went into dangerous territory and sat beside him. He sighed and lit up a cigar.

"You mind not smoking that near me." Scott said keeping his eyes on the sun.

"Don't mind at all." Logan replied and continued to smoke. Scott stood up and dumped the bowl into the sink and went into the fridge pulling out a bottle of water.

"I hear Jean's pregnant," Logan said breaking the silence.

"What's it to you?"

"Hey, I'm just trying to make conversation." Logan said standing up looking towards Scott.

"I didn't ask for one," Scott said.

"What was that about last night?" Logan asked. "I know not all of it wasn't about you wanting to beat me senseless, like that would happen anyway."

"None of your business Logan," Scott said and walked over to him standing face to face. "I appreciate what you done last night for Joey, but don't make a habit of it."

"Well maybe he would think different Cyke, you can't control your son." Logan said.

"I wouldn't think about it." Scott said and proceeded to leave the kitchen.

"Hey," Logan said and Scott stopped to face him. "When do you want a re match?"

Scott showed a slight grin. "Anytime you want, you know where to find me dickhead." Logan smiled as Scott left the kitchen.

Scott walked up the stairs to his bedroom and collapsed on the bed beside Jean. She woke up and turned round to face Scott. "Hey." She said stroking his face. "You ok?"

"Yeah," She sighed. "Just had a talk with Logan."

"And?" Jean said bluntly, remember Logan's words last night.

"I think we've came to, some sort of understanding." He said and curled up to her. "But sleep now, we can talk later."

"Ok, sweetheart." Jean said and hugged him and he was soon asleep. It had been a tiring night for him and he needed some sleep this morning before his afternoon classes started. She slipped out of bed once Scott was asleep and went down to the kitchen. She came face to face with Logan as he was preparing to leave.

"Sit down Logan," She said stopping him and pushing him back to the seat. "We need to talk."
