If you go by the original Claremont timeline vs. the atrocity we
now have foisted on us, there was never a dichotomy between
Jean and Phoenix.  She had her powers stripped from her after
the battle on the Moon in #137, married Scott, and they had Rachel.
So Rachel IS the child of Scott and Jean, not the spawn of some
pan-dimensional being playing at human.
