"Hey, Rems," Rogue said happily, spinning round on the computer chair and giving him a quick kiss as he put the twins into their playpen, "Ah was just talkin' tah Wanda."
"Was good las' nigh'?" he half-read, half-asked, peering at the computer screen
"Yeah..." she sighed.
"Y' okay, chere?" he asked, concerned.
"Ah'm fahne. It's jus'... Sometahmes this place gets too crowded and we're always so buseh ah jus' don' feel lahke we get tah spend any tahme tahgethah as a famileh."
"If y' want t' move away from de mansion we c'n rent un appartement."

"Wands an' John are comin' too. They got some stuff tah work out so it's gonna be lahke we met up there rathah than goin' tahgethah."
"Dat sounds great, chere."
"Like, what does?"
Rogue groaned inwardly. "We're gonna go tah thah beach."
Kitty's face lit up. "That's, like, awsome!" She stuck her head through the door she had phased through just moments before. "HEY! ROGUE AND REMY ARE TAKING US ALL TO THE BEACH!"
There were whoops, cheers and what sounded oddly like Bobby's 'celebration' being cut short as he was hit by boom-balls and 'fireworks' for "perving at the girls whenever they wore bikinis".
"Non, petite. We takin' de twins."
"Oh my God, like, of course! They've never been to the beach before... Well, they have, but that doesn't count since they, like, weren't even born once and the other was, like, for your wedding so they, like, didn't get to do any beach stuff..."
"No, Kit. 'We' as in: me, Remy, Sylvie an' Jacques. No one else."
"But why?"
"Some time alone as un famille."
"But you can, like, have 'family time' with us there!"
"But..."
Remy wrapped an arm around Rogue's waist, stopping her from replying. "W' c'n jus' hide from dem," he whispered in her ear.
"That soun's nahce," she muttered back, leaning in close to his body, "But ah lahke thah ahdea of burehin' them instead..."
He smirked, nuzzling her neck and gently sunk his teeth into the soft skin he found there, causing her to moan softly.
"Eww, like, don't do that when there are other people and BABIES in the room!"
Remy pulled his head back from Rogue's neck but had absolutely no intention of breaking the embrace. Both looked sheepishly - and almost pleadingly - at Kitty, who threw her arms up into the air in an exasperated way, allowing them to smack against her thighs, before walking over to the playpen and picking up the twins.
"You have, like, fifty minutes before we leave," she said and left the room.
Remy grinned down at Rogue. "Y' wanna see if 'm bett'r dan las' nigh'?"
The Beach
"That wasn't a point!"
"Ja! It vasn't!"
"You used your powers!"
"I can hit that hard without my powers even if they weren't allowed! It was a point!"
Sand flew everywhere as Ray, Sam and Kurt launched themselves at Roberto, beginning some sort of wrestling match over who won a point in a powers-allowed game of volleyball while Jamie, who had duplicated himself in order to take Bobby's place who wanted to watch the girls sunbathe, egged them on. Bobby, of course, was not up to his neck in sand after finding out that asking a large group of mutant girls if they were going to sunbathe topless was a bad idea. Alex was complaining about the lack of decent waves in Bayville and resigned to body-boarding with his brother whilst the Professor and Doctor McCoy had disappeared on a boat tour of the coast, studying the Marine life, leaving Logan and Ororo in charge. A loud shout from the wolf-like man brought everyone rushing over to the barbecue he and Piotr were manning. Logan had a beer in his hand and several people were muttering worriedly about serious burns and chances of the food being burned to a crisp or the barbecue blowing up. Love was definitely in the air as they sat down with chicken, burgers, hot dogs and, in Kitty's case, vegetable kebabs, however, had there been a scale from one to five for measuring the intimacy of the relationships being displayed, there was a couple for each rating.
Logan and Ororo were shooting furtive glances at each other, causing several people to giggle at them in a knowing way; Jean and Scott were sitting together, holding hands and looking annoyed whenever anyone laughed at them; while Kitty was in Piotr's lap, occasionally kissing his nose or offering him a bit of slightly charred (Logan and the beer's handiwork) pepper. Rogue and Remy were in virtually the same position as Kitty and Piotr, only Remy couldn't seem to keep his hands off her, making her squirm and shiver as his hands brushed up her back and sides, caressing the sweet spots that made her wrap her arms more securely around his neck. Many people wondered if they would ever be able to keep their hands off each other for more than five minutes. It was unlikely. Finally, there was John and Wanda, who had 'talked' things through... Well, they had at least used their mouths and still were, only not for eating food. As a result, Warren; his girlfriend, Betsy, a telepath and, thankfully, one of the less 'touchy-feely' ones; and Kurt had taken the twins and some of the younger recruits to a 'safer' spot. When lunch was over, Rogue and Remy took their son and daughter to a little area filled with rock pools and a large, flat expanse of sand and were now helping the two, who were surprisingly well developed for their age, build a sand castle.
"Yah can't eat thah sand, Sylvie, it ain't good foah yah!" Rogue laughed, picking up her baby girl, swinging her in a circle and setting her down again.
"Dis is nice, chere, oui? Jus' us et de twins," Remy said, pulling Rogue down into his arms as they watched Sylvie and Jacques run after a crab.
Rogue nodded, sighing sleepily as Remy hugged her close.
"Y' okay, chere? Y' been très tired lately."
"Well, ah gaht some good news," she muttered, stifling a yawn, "Ah'm pregnant again."
Remy smiled happily. "Dat's très bon, ma cherie, mais I don' t'ink de mansion has de space."
"Well then ah think we should rent that appartment, after all, yah did say that yah wanted a big famileh, an' ah don' think three kids is enough..."
Remy stiffened. Three was fantastic but more? Rogue chuckled, her voice becoming fainter as she drifted off to sleep.
"Just kiddin', Rems. Ah'll be happeh with three."

And that's the end of the second oneshot. The last in the trilogy will be the wedding since I've been desperate to write about one
Yes, I'll admit, this one wasn't great but it's just a filler until I do the wedding
