Oh, this is great! There's a terrific sense here of how they really are all a family, with those moments of tragedy interspersed with happiness and just the everyday stresses of growing up. Terrific -- thanks for writing!

Heh, well, you just know that in X3's first scene, everything Charles says to Jean is really just shorthand for "Hello, little girl, we're your new mutant daddies."

She learns that Scott sleeps with his mouth slightly open and small smile on his lips, as though his dreams are always pleasant, even though she knows they often aren't.

Awww. A beautiful look at the evolution of their "mutant family" and the Scott/Jean relationship. Very nicely done.

This was just fantastic!
I especially liked this:
"The following year, her rage and hurt at Erik's departure have dulled into a bruise that only aches when she probes at it."
Made my morning.
