None of the characters belong to me…and thoughtful reviews and constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

I slammed my hand hard into the wall in my bathroom and let out a pained cry as the nerve endings finally made themselves known in my brain."Ouch." I sat down on the closed toilet lid and nursed my battered hand. Then I looked on the counter once again and squeezed my eyes tightly shut. It's all a dream, I told myself over and over again, you're gonna wake up soon and it'll all fade away into nothing. I continued muttering this over and over to myself, hoping that it would change what I wanted to ignore. I glanced on the counter. Nope, not gonna work. Oh God, I thought in panic, what the hell am I going to do?

"Rogue? You in there?" I could hear Jubilee pounding at the door and shouting at me in the hall even from the somewhat dubious sanctity of my bathroom.

"Come on you promised to go with us this time."

I sighed wearily, but yelled back, "Hold on. I'm coming, just give me a sec ok?"
I had promised Jubes, Kitty, and Siryn that I'd go out to the newest club with them. I just wanted to stay home, but….. I dropped my head down as the throbbing renewed with vigour. I glanced again at the innocent looking white counter and without a moment's hesitation swept everything on it into the closest drawer.

I exited the bathroom and went to the door, trying hurry as the pounding had renewed while I was tugging on a pair of dark blue heels as I went. And that was quite the amazing feat considering most of the time I could barely talk and think at the same, let alone balance while I had a raging migraine. I opened the door and yelled without looking, "God could you be a tad more patient?"

"Well I could but what's the fun in that?"

My head shot up so fast I could feel my neck muscle protesting.. "Uh...what the…..Logan?"

My voice trailed off at the end to a low whisper. "Yep kid it's me. Wanna go grab a beer?"

I shook my head slightly trying to clear the annoying hallelujah chorus out of my head.

"I...um...well kinda promised Jubilee I'd go with her to a club."

He raised an eyebrow at this. To him it's probably strange to have me going to a club, but hey it's fun occasionally. I thought back to the bathroom counter. But not so much tonight.

While we were both trying to figure out exactly where to go after that I took the time to look him over. It had been a while since I had seen him, but like always not much changed. He was wearing tan workman boots with worn out denim jeans that were paired with a plain white wife-beater. A plaid long-sleeve shirt worn open completed him ensemble.

I could feel his gaze raking over me and hurriedly tried to remember what I was wearing. Oh right, an off the shoulder dark blue top with a scoop neckline and a pearl necklace. I also was wearing a pair of light blue skinny jeans and, of course, my brand-new blue high heels. My hair had been a tamed riot of curls, but I imagined it was more on the riot side than the tamed after I had ran my fingers through it in the bathroom.

I gave a mental sigh. I have a feeling the bathroom would be on my mind a lot tonight. I just decided to break the silence when I heard the sound of stampeding feet.

I turned as Kitty and Jubes came running towards me, attention fully focused on me.

"Finally chica you get out of the bathroom."

They were about to continue but I caught Kitty's gaze, knowing that she would be able to get my meaning quicker and with the least amount of embarrassment, and glanced at Logan. To say the least her chin will have a bruise on the morning from its contact with the floor.

"Logan, wow it's great to see you. How have you been?" Kitty said to alert Jubes of his presence.

Jubilee's head snapped sideways to stare at Logan. She quickly recovered and shot him a dazzling grin. "Hey Wolvie, good to have you back."

He was relaxed enough that he answered back without growling. "I was just here a few months ago."

4 months I thought to myself.

"Well yeah I guess so," Jubes continued, "But you only stayed like what two nights and were gone. Before that you were gone for three years."

"I guess it's has been awhile."

He looked at me, remembering, just like I was. And he knew it which explained the grin that stole across his face and took my breath with it. Jubes and Kitty chimed in saying it would be wonderful if he came with us to the new club. I saw Jubes throw a wink my way because she knew that I had a, for lack of better word, crush on him. Which in some ways I still do. I saw Logan see the wink and raise an eyebrow to me in question, but I pretended not to notice. Let's not go down that road, not tonight.

Kitty got a good look at me and let out a whistle. "Wow Rogue. You're looking like a hot mama tonight."

I tried to hide the way my face blanched from everyone else. Out of the corner of my eye I could see the appreciative gleam in Logan's eyes and tried, unsuccessfully, to ignore the physical response that followed.

Little did Kitty know how right she was; I was a hot mama. Which was something I needed to talk to Logan about. Because well…..dammit I'm pregnant and it looks like Wolvie is going to be a daddy. I took a deep breath, almost shuddering as I thought of what that conversation was likely going to be like. It was not a conversation I was looking forward to having.
