Just so you guys know this is a non-power story. Just the X-men characters!
James Logan Howlett had faced many challenges in his life. He grew up without ever knowing his mother and his father. When he was 9, he finally found them and discovered that they were dead. For years he felt emptiness inside his heart even with his new foster parent. He was a widower named Will who adopted him when he was 12. Will knew he adopted Logan that it wasn't going to be easy, but as time passed the two men grew closer. The two men hunted together, worked in the garage together, and fished together. Then their family grew when Will met June. June was a widow and a single mother to a 6 year old. Jubilee. The two believed it was fate that brought them all together. June fell in love with Will. Will fell in love with June. And Jubilee fell in love with the thought of having Logan has a big brother. Logan had to admit having two women in the house was different but it felt right likeā¦home. Time passed and Logan was at the crossroads of deciding to go to college, work, or the army. He answered his calling and enlisted. After his years of service, he managed to find a job in the NYPD. From serving the armed forces to serving the line of duty on the police force, Logan had a total of over 50 scars on his body; 5 of which that nearly killed him. Some of his buddies joked that he had a healing factor. It is due to this he was nicknamed Wolverine.
'Come on, Wolverine,' he thought to himself as he tried to shake of the nervousness he felt.
"It's okay Logan," the woman sitting in the passenger's seat, gave his hand a squeeze.
With one hand on the wheel and his eyes on the road, he glanced over at this beautiful woman sitting next to him. Ororo. Ororo Monroe, his girlfriend. He was always ready for a fight. Ready for the attack, but nothing in this world could have prepared him for her. That beautiful woman he'd do anything for her, including visit spend the holiday plus meeting her whole family for the first time.
"I know," Logan smiled before bring her hand up to his lips for a kiss.
"Ugh," the teenager in the backseat groaned. "Seriously guys, you two are my relationship goal."
"Pipe down half-pint," Logan looked in the rearview mirror at his sister Jubilee who in response smiled and stuck her tongue out in response. She loved annoying her big brother it was her part-time job. "So, Ororo, do you have any brother close to my age?"
Her brother on the other hand tossed her a menacing glare that caused her to flinch, but mouthed to the beautiful woman in the front, 'we'll talk later.'

At the mansion
Charles Xavier looked forward to the Christmas holiday every year. It was the time of year when all his children came all at once to visit and be together. When they were all in the mansion hallways would echo with laughter, laughter that he missed. Each room in his house had special memory for all his kids. Scott was the first child him and his wife Lilandra had. After that they adopted Ororo, Remy, and last but not least Kurt. However, after Kurt's graduated from high school Lilandra discovered that she had cancer. It completely crushed the family to see someone they love so dearly go through so much pain. After her passing, Charles long time best friend Erik Lehenser moved in as a way to keep company. He raised the question to Charles that they could possibly sell the mansion, but the man in the wheelchair refused. Because to him this mansion represented all the people loved very much: his wife and their children. Over the years he envisioned all of them coming returning during holidays with families of their own.
"We're here," a five year old Nathaniel Summers yelled as he swung the front door open searching for his grandpa. When the young kid spotted his grandfather he eagerly jumped into his lap. "I missed you grandpa."
"I missed you too, Nathaniel," Charles smiled messing his grandchild's hair up, who was a complete miniature version of his father.
"Hey, dad," Scott greeted his father as he carrying two big suitcases.
Charles welcomed his son and his daughter in-law Jean who was carrying his 9 month old granddaughter Rachel.
"They're both getting so big," Charles commented on his grandchildren.
"I hope you're referring to Nate and Rachel," Jean joked fearing he meant her. Ever since her second pregnancy she tried with all her might to lose all her baby weight.
"My dear, you look lovely," Charles assured her.
"He's right," Scott smiled. "Maybe we can try for baby 3?"
"Knock, knock Mon Ami," Remy opened the front door.
"Remy!" Everyone in the foyer greeted and hugged wanting to make up for lost time. After they finished hugging each other Kurt and his girlfriend Kitty were suddenly there as if they had just poofed there. Then once again they hugged all over again and eventually went to their rooms to quickly unload their belongings so they could catch up.
Jean was in the mood to bake some Christmas cookies, so she decided to start the process with Kitty by her side.
"Is Ororo on the way?" Jean asked as she began to smooth out the cookie dough so, she could use the cookie cutters to make holiday objects. "We need our cooking buddy, right Kitty."
Kitty agreed.
"She's on the way," Charles said looking at the texts on his phone. "And so are her two guests."
"Two guests?" Scott asked.
"She's bringing her boyfriend," Charles stated causing Remy to spit out his eggnog.
"Boyfriend?" Remy raised a questioning eyebrow. "Since when did she get a boyfriend?"
"Since like a little over a year ago," Kitty added.
"How come I'm the last to know about it?" Remy asked.
"And me too," Scott added turning to his wife who didn't seem so surprised.
"Maybe because you two are overprotective code red brothers," Kurt joked which earned two brotherly punches from his two older brothers. "Hey, at least I got the privilege to meet him 5 months ago."
No one else in the entire family had ever met the guy; the only one who did was Kurt. Therefore, they needed to know what Kurt knew.
"What was he like?" Jean asked.
"Was he cute?" Kitty asked which made him give his girlfriend a second glance.
"Do you think we could take him?" Remy asked.
"Woah," Kurt raised his hands up to silence everyone. "He was cool. I met him when Ororo invited me to have lunch with them when I was in the city. He was really big at two feet taller than me. I liked him for her," Kurt bit into his sandwich and quickly added for the benefit of his brothers. "He could take you with one arm tied behind his back."
With that said Kurt jumped to his feet and hid behind his father.
"Now, now," Charles began. "I'm sure we can trust Kurt and Ororo's judgement of the young man. I trust we'll all be on our best behavior after all we all know who overwhelming it can be to meet the family for the first time," he paused to allow Jean and Kitty to recall the first time they met the family.
"Mom! Another car just pulled up," Nathaniel called as he gazed out the window.
"They're here!" Remy shouted as him and everyone raced to catch a glimpse of Ororo and her boyfriend.

"Oh ," Jubilee leaped out the car gazing at the beautiful mansion covered with some snow and gazed at the snow covered spacious land that surrounded it, "I didn't know you were rich Ororo."
"I'm not," Ororo chuckled. "But my father is." She looked over at her boyfriend who was unloading luggage out of the car and she embraced his back with her chin on his shoulder. "Welcome to my home," she kissed his cheek. "I can't wait for you to finally meet my family."
"I can see them," Logan stated. "They're looking at us, right there." He said pointing to the right window close to the front door causing the peeping toms to scatter.
"Our cover is blown. He saw us," Remy said quickly closing the curtain.
"They're gonna love you," the white haired beauty said. "I already do.
"I love you too, Ro," he smiled kissing her lips. Jubilee cleared her throat, "Come on guys let's go. My goodness Ororo you're dad's house looks like it could be a mall."
When they trio approached the front door, Ororo bearly knocked and the door swung open. Immediately she was welcomed and hugged by her whole family while Logan and Jubilee just watched.
"Sis," Scott nearly spun the white haired beauty around. "I missed you, why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend?"
"Rory," Remy pulled Ororo from Scott.
She disliked that nickname, so in return she called him a nickname she very well knew he despised, "Gumbo."
The two eyed each other as if challenging each other, but Ororo embraced her baby brother the moment she laid eyes on him.
"Kurt, Kitty," she smiled. "It's been awhile."
"Well, isn't it my partner in crime," Jean said as she embraced her.
"Where are the kids?"
"The baby is down for the count and Nate is licking the frosting bowl in the kitchen.
Ororo laughed and quickly turned to kneel to embrace her wheel chair bound father, "Dad, I missed you so dearly."
"I missed you to my daughter," he said as he embraced his princess. To him no matter how old she got he would always refer to her as his little girl.
"Dad, everyone," Ororo smiled as she brought her two guests closer to her swarm of family. "This is James Logan Howlett, my boyfriend and is sister Jubilee."
"It's nice to meet you all," Logan's deep voice spoke.
"I love your house," Jubilee smiled. "If I ever become famous, or youtube famous, or vine famous I would most likely want to live in a house like this one."
This caused the others to smile.
"Well, you all are very welcome! I hope you both enjoy you're stay here," Charles gave them a warm smile.
