WOW...mmmmm, wow! That was a great chapter, can't wait for the next one. But can 'Ro kick Jean in her shin next time, that'll hurt a lot more.

Author's Response: Merciless little thing, aren't you? I'm dying laughing over here, great suggestion! The slap was brewing under the surface for a while. Ororo's been the one suffering during all this, so she got to vent a little in this chapter. She might vent some more in a minute...

I guess it was Lorna's knee-jerk reaction to comfort Jean in that moment, but I didn't quite like that. And Jean didn't make a mistake. She a made a conscious decision to sleep with Pietro. In 'Ro's bed, no less. Poor Ororo. Not only does she find out that Pietro lied to her about having a kid, but she was also the "other woman" for a time.

Pietro's just a bastard. There's nothing he can do to redeem him in my eyes in this story. And Scott. :( Betrayed by his wife and his friend. He'll be so hurt. I can't get over the fact that Jean is worried about how Ororo leaving will look to her friends. It's still all about her and her feelings. She's being totally insensitive.

At least Ororo has Logan and her friends. Speaking of friends, YAY for Anna Marie and Remy! They were always one of my favorite pairings to 'ship. I'm getting long-winded in this review, so I'll just end this by saying this was another great chapter and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Author's Response: Lorna was a witness to what happened, and don't worry about her being too sympathetic. They've all been friends for a long time, so yes, the immediate reaction will be to comfort Ororo, but they'll want to know what possessed Jean to do something so stupid, too, and they won't find out if they all declare her Queen of the Bitches right off the bat. Yeah, Jean had a big part in it, Pietro had a big part in it, and Ororo took a risk when she even took Pietro back in the first place. Pietro is irredeemable, which is fine. He had his chance to stop hurting people, and he never took it. There will be bits and pieces of Anna and Remy; I like them together, I admit it, even if they are not my favorite. Thanks for giving feedback; it's always insightful to see what thoughts jump into folks' heads when I write this stuff!!!

I knew that ho Jean was gonna be all up in that mess.

As for that Bitchass 'Tro..how you gonna leave your woman when she is five months pregnant, and then cheat on the woman you left her for. I hope Logan kicks his ass!!!

Finally, poor RO, that is a lot to take in about a guy you thought you loved.
Hope she lets the cat out of the bag, maybe then Scott can find a decent woman for himself.

Author's Response: Jean was up in it pretty much from the beginning, if you hop back to about the third or fourth chapter, she was pretty nosy, so you're right. Right on the nose. Pietro wasn't through being selfish when his daughter came into the world. We'll see more of that too. Ororo might not have to tell Scott, it depends on how my muses guide me...on the one hand, he'll be in the dark, or on the other hand, he'll be hurt.

Gaaaaah! Kill that bastard!

This is a lot to take in. But then, who cares?

Kill him!

PS. You're brilliant. Who wouldn't follow this story?

Author's Response: hee hee hee...yeah, that 'Tro. We'll have to deal with him next, won't we? The next chapter is already in sloppy progress, my mind is puzzling over "if I were a guest at a party where a fight broke out, what would I be telling my friends at the water cooler the next day?" The visual ain't pretty!

Nothing worse than realizing that your best friend isn't so 'best'.

Jean is crazy. Ororo just put two and two together to realize that she was sleeping with her man and she's worried about how it'll look when she leaves?! Telling her that she can't do that to her? *slaps forehead in frustration* This woman just kills me. I don't understand how Scott puts up with her.

'Tro and Logan finally meet...FIGHT!!!!



Author's Response: Jean likes appearances and is compulsive. Her reasoning for sleeping with Pietro might be just as compulsive as it is selfish; she didn't mean to hurt Ororo, but she didn't think that far ahead. Scott loves her, but again, he's dazzled by her domestic habits, beauty and love of surface gloss, she makes him look good, too, in a trophy wife way. The fight is coming up. I'm still puzzling out the dialogue in my head...and it's silly. Blame my muses.

1. She slept with Tro didn't she? What a harlot! I hope 'Ro kicks her ass.
2.She had to sleep with him...why else would 'Ro notice the wired bra thingy? If that isn't a plot point then i dont know what is!
3. Loved Logan touching her...long live pda
4.Jean is REALLY vain...didn't notice up until this point. She is more hurt over the break up then both of them combined.
5. cant wait till the next chapter...

Author's Response: 1) ...just wait...mwuhahahaHAHAHA. 2) plot? what plot??? 3) yup. I love touchy feely Logan, too. He will still be snarly, growly and kick ass in this, but yes, he's cuddly. 4) She was always a little vain, never more until now. She's a Smug Married, like in Bridget Jones Diary. 5) me too, when i get around to writing the damned thing...thanks, girl.

Poor Ro. I feel sorry for Jean when Ro puts it together that those skanky red panties are hers. They are hers arent they? Scott and Logan are a mess. lol

Author's Response: now see, everyone thought they were Emma's! Not the case. After all, Jean got oodles of lingerie at her bridal shower, didn't she? I like Scott and Logan, too.

Oooh. Stiffy Jean. That's new. It's usually a stiffy Scott.

Matter of fact, I like this Scott. He's fun. As for Logan, he's classic.

Brilliant descriptions, mate.

Author's Response: Normally I hate Scott in the comics, but I liked him in the movie, even if he was a wuss. He had one or two good lines in each, but just was not a strong character. I like stories that redeem him a little. Glad youlike the descriptions. I tend to beat them to death, but I like the image in my head to come across in the story. I have met people like these...
