Description: POV (choose-your-own-X-woman), Wolverine. Babysnippet.
Notes: Flashes are little snippets of life, focusing on various
members of the X-Men, but mostly Wolverine, Jean Grey and Gambit, in
all of the X-Men universes. There is no real continuity in Flashes;
they are simply my way of getting little scenes in my head onto paper.
:) If there's any kind of shipperyness, it will be indicated in the
description.
More notes: Devil Doll, I'm apologizing now. The summary should have
been warning enough, so you can't kill me for this. I'm sure you all
can guess who I pictured when I wrote this, but feel free to
substitute your favorite X-gal. ;)
Feedback is cherished. :)
He's sprawled on his back on the bed, shirtless and wearing
sweatpants, dozing with the baby on his chest. She's sleeping
soundly, as she always does when she can hear one of our heartbeats,
clad only in her diaper. The muted, rainy sunlight filters in through
the blinds.
I can't remember ever seeing anything so beautiful in my life.
He stirs, shifting a little, and the baby stirs too, making a soft
noise. His hand lifts on instinct to stroke her back, soothing her
back into sleep. I crawl onto the bed as lightly as I can and curl up
against his side, resting my head on his shoulder and my hand on top
of his.
He turns his head and smiles at me.
I have everything I need right here.
