Phoenix Back to Stay (Earth-1992)

Phoenix Recovered
A year and half after the Phoenix, along with Jean, last went to the White Hot Room. Jean helped repair the Phoenix with finding and assimilating the many Phoenix Force fragments. With the Phoenix's mental stability in check, the Phoenix thanked Jean by allowing her to return to Earth with her loved ones and allowed her a favor. Jean asked for the Phoenix Force to restore Cyclops's mind to the way he was before his personality was altered by the possession of Apocalypse, and then offer him the choice of staying the way he was or changing back into his new self.

Jean's Returning
Jean then arrived in the night at the Xavier Institute where she was greeted by Professor X who recognized her presence. Jean told Charles that she completed her task of helping restore the Phoenix Force and asked if she was again able to stay with the X-Men, her family. Charles said, "Of course you may stay here. There will always be place here for one of my first and brightest pupils." Jean then went to her room to have a good nights rest. That same night, the Phoenix visited Cyclops in his dreams. She told him that she was going to return his mind to the way it once was while letting him retain all the memories and emotions he has experienced, since his change. She also told him that this would be a trial and that she would give him a week to decide if he wanted to remain the way he originally was or return to his new personality. Cyclops didn't have any time to respond when he saw a bright flash of light, and then he awoke the next morning.

Cyclops's Decision
Scott awoke to find his love, Emma Frost by his side, still calmly asleep. He noticed that his love for her still remained, but there was something else calling for his heart. He got up out of bed and got ready for his day ahead of him. During this time, he thought about his dream the night before, but couldn't figure out if it was real or not. He pondered if he felt different, and started to think that he did feel different, but was going to brave on through the day. When he reached the kitchen door he saw the back of a woman cooking. It took him a second to realize who she was, and then she turned around. It was Jean, a woman who he hasn't seen in a long time. His heart started to race as she said, "Hello Scott. Please sit down   and we can talk over breakfast.  She then explained how she helped fix the Phoenix Force, and that she was back to stay.  She didn't mention her favor though because she wanted his heart to decide what he wanted to be.  Scott during this talk felt a love for her that he hadn't felt in a long time.  He just felt like holding her in his arms once again, but stopped himself.  Scott realized that his heart also belonged to Emma.  A little afterwards Emma walked in and out first only saw Cyclops.  She said, "Hi honey. How are you? I didn't see you in bed this morning...", and then stopped when she saw Jean. Cyclops then walked up to Emma, and took her to the Study.  He then told her about Jean's current situation.  Emma then said it was okay and kissed Cyclops.  Scott afterwards realized he didn't give out as much passion as he usually did.  Scott then thought about his decision throughout the week, and thinking about his life with Jean and with Emma.  On his last night before his decision, he walked up to Jean's room and went inside and closed the door to find Jean lying in her bed in her nightgown reading a book.  She looked up when he closed the door and then asked him what he wanted.  Jean got up and walked towards him when he just stood there and stared.  She then asked if everything was okay.  Once she was near him, he opened his arms and embraced her.  Scott then kissed her and realized he had a passion for Jean that he didn't have with Emma. He then proclaimed his love for her and the couple spent the night together. That night in his dreams, the Phoenix returned as she said she would. She then asked for his decision. Cyclops responded that he wanted to remain the way he was before being possessed by Apocalypse.

Emma's Departure
The next morning Cyclops awoke with Jean in his arms, and it felt right, until the door burst open. Standing in the door way was no other than Emma who awoke to sense Scott was not remaining faithful to her. She saw Jean next to Cyclops and then told him they were through and that she was leaving. She then went out the door and slammed it. There was nothing that Scott was able to say to calm her down, and to remain at the Xavier Institute. In hour after finding Scott with Jean, Emma was packed up and gone in a cab with tears in her eyes as she looked back at Scott, her true love. Scott felt that he lost something that day, but did find happiness within his new life with Jean.

A New Beginning-Scott/Jean
Scott and Jean renewed their vows, and then went on a honeymoon together. A month afterwards, the couple were pleasantly surprised to find out Jean was pregnant. They couldn't wait for the coming of their first natural child together, not a genetic son(Cable), a genetic creation son from another universe(X-Man), or a daughter from another universe(Rachel).
