yeah yeah...but if she was dead then that's worthy of a mentioning.
"the page says Emma is the mother, about a dozen times..."
cause i just put it in there.

I have noticed that the series has of yet officially named Emma as Ruby's mom. I don't believe the topic of Ruby's mother has even come up, but it's not like it's necessary for the current story. Who outside of old world stories announces them self followed by their lineage, ala Lord of the Rings. I look at it like this. What are the odds that Scott was to have a child with some other woman, and this offspring would inherit his optic blast powers and the ability to have a jeweled body form? Ruby's personality is also very similar to Emma. She's often mocking and playful. The way she teases Layla and asking if she slept with Madrox. Just because Ruby has blond hair doesn't mean a lot. Remember that Emma isn't a natural blond. Though this fact came out after the creation of the Stepford Cuckoo clones were created for the comics. Not to say that a brunette can't have blond children. X-Men: The End and GeNEXT have both shown Emma having blond children.
I find it interesting about how Ruby seems to know Madrox pretty well. Though from Madrox's point of view he has only known her from a few days. I believe in her introduction with him. She stated that it was only their first meeting from his perspective. This seems to imply that Ruby met Madrox before. He described it as if she knew him from the "old days", describing his time line. I guessed that some time after Madrox and Layla return to the standard time line. A younger Ruby will come to the past and have her first meeting with Madrox. Possibly even joining X-Factor. We know Ruby has been in her Ruby form for over seventy years. Perhaps the Ruby we meet later will be the younger version that can go in and out of her jewel form. I really want Ruby to get to meet Emma. That would make such a cool cover image. Both Ruby and Emma in their bejeweled forms. I just want to see the look on Emma's face when she meets her daughter from the future. I believe it was in Uncanny X-Men #501 that she talked to Scott about how he's starting to convince her with the idea of 'spawning'.
Seeing how Ruby has been in ruby for over seventy years, and her father is only alive thanks to cybernetics to the point where he only needs batteries to live. Odds are that in this time line Emma passed on years ago. If it was implied about Emma. It's most likely because she died or was killed. Ruby did seem rather ticked when Madrox mocked her father. Emma just doesn't strike me as the type of woman who would abandon her own child. Every version of her, no matter the universe, has shown her ultra protective of her own children. She has even tried her best with the Cuckoos. Though they seem to denounce her, blaming Emma for the death of their sisters. Still Emma loves the girls.
" I guessed that some time after Madrox and Layla return to the standard time line. A younger Ruby will come to the past and have her first meeting with Madrox. Possibly even joining X-Factor.

See I assumed Ruby knew Madrox from having grown up in the X-Men. Cyclops said it was Layla that told him he'd have a daughter named Ruby so in Cyclops timeline Layla probably came back from the future with that knowledge and its not just because she's Layla Miller and she knows stuff. He was also mad at her for not telling him the things that would lead to their future but did hint at a few things.
Though I do have a hope that Ruby will come back with Madrox and Layla since by Bishop's adulthood they didn't know specifics of who the Summers that was responsible for the Summers Rebellion was. So in my mind that means she has to die or disappear in the next few years.
@PrinceIMC: Well, Layla does need to return for her to past so she can give a young Cyclops the picture that was taken of her in the X-Factor-Layla Miller special. As well as suggest the name Ruby to Scott.
I find it unlikely that the current Ruby will travel back with Layla and Madrox when they return. Since Ruby says that when Madrox first saw her it wasn't their first meeting. This implies that either Ruby grew up in the X-Men and got to know Madrox over the years, or a younger Ruby, that can switch her forms at will, travels back in time to join the X-Men or X-Factor. Seeing how protective Ruby is over her father I'm more leaning toward her birth. If she was a member of X-Factor you'd think she would have some level of respect toward Madrox. Though it could be she was a member of X-Factor and they just never got along. From Ruby's perspective this counts as their first meeting.
Seeing Emma's current situation. It's hard to imagine when a pregnancy could happen. It's possible that she's already pregnant and the diamond form is keeping that in stasis, with the rest of her body; or she get's pregnant after she's able to go back into flesh form.
Though this is trying to find continuity in series that is notorious for things being constantly unexplained or explored.
@xxCellPhoneGirlxx: I think it would be cool, but I'm not holding my breath. She didn't return with Layla, so if and when we do, I think it'll be a while. Unless the writers are trolling these boards and get the hint. ^_~
What issue did they come out and say Emma was the mother? I read all of the X-Factor isues she was in and I don't remember them saying it. Do you know what number it was?
@xxCellPhoneGirlxx: That would be interesting. But I have no idea why whoever it was changed the page when I had a section stating that while her mother was not stated, the best guess was Emma. *sigh*
And on a off topic note, *points to xxCellPhoneGirlxx's icon* Ooh, ooh! Pretty! *obsesses* Nice!
