Chapter One

" The dangers of moody wives"

.

John woke to something heavy landing on his chest. Looking down he realized that it was one of his boots ' What the he-' his thought began as he glanced up, then ducked under his pillow as the boot's mate flew at him.

" What did I do now?" He demanded from under the covers.

" You better pray Saint-John that I'm pregnant, or else." Wanda said from the bathroom door.

" What?" John replied, confused both by the early hour, and the randomness of his wife's statement.

" I just spent the last hour bent over the toilet. So you better pray that I'm pregnant, or I'm killing you!" Wanda replied, fire in her eyes.

" How would you not being pregnant be my fault?" John mistakenly wondered out loud.

Wanda shrieked in reply, stepping towards him, before turning and rushing back into the bathroom. Thinking quickly, John snatched up the still sleeping William from his cradle, waking the now crying infant, and headed toward the door.

" I'm sorry, Luv. I want to continue this talk, but Will's hungry!" John stated as he walked out of the room, remembering to grab the diaper bag, and his jeans on the way.

He ran immediately into Wade, who was walking down the hall with a huge binder, mumbling to himself.

" Uh hey Wade, what are you doing?" John asked, putting William down long enough to pull on his jeans, and throwing his sleep pants into an alcove.

" Wedding preparations." Wade began, looking up and shaking the binder at John " We are behind, so very very behind!"

" It's five in the morning, how're you behind?" John questioned.

Wade visibly paled, setting the binder down every bit as gently as John had his son, Wade grabbed John's shoulders and shaking him stated " 5AM! IT'S 5 AM ALREADY?! I'M FURTHER BEHIND THAN I THOUGHT! I HAVE TO BUY A SUIT AT 6:30, I HAVE TO MEET THE FLORIST AT 7! I HAVE TO REMEMBER NOT TO BUY ANYTHING EVEN REMOTLY RESEMBLING STRAWBERRIES! IT TO MUCH! LOGAN'S TAKING CARE OF THE FOOD,GUESTS, DECORE, I. DON'T. KNOW. WHAT! I'M BEHIND * sobbing* I'll never catch up at this rate! I need help, much, much more help."

" Um , well.." John begins, trying to think of a way to get away from Wade.

" REALLY?! YOU'LL HELP?! Thank you! I need you to put up these fliers for me, I'm so grateful, it shouldn't take you long, I only made enough to use up a package of typing paper so there can't be more than 500 of them. If I'd had more time, I would have been better prepared. But I didn't and now it's running out, and I ran out of ink in the printer, and Emma's busy with Megan who needs a less girly name, and she still has a bunch of stuff to do, and when I knocked to ask Remy for help, I'm pretty Rogue threatened to eat me but I couldn't really tell because her accent is so thick when she's sleepy, and Logan went for a run, A RUN! like we have time for that. He said he had to take care of business..what could be more important than the wedding, which we only have 12 hours left until we need to begin, wait no !I just wasted the last 15 minutes talking to you! Hey could you pick me up some more ink? Thanks, I really must be going, sorry to cut you off like this, but it's a busy day and all, Ta-ta."

John stared dumbfounded at the retreating man, wondering what was wrong with him, before sighing and picking his son back up. William had fallen back asleep and was not happy to have been woken a second time. Wanda suddenly yanked open their door and snatched William from his arms .

" Jeeze John! If you didn't waste so much time chatting with Wade we could all be back in bed already! and what the heck was up with taking Will anyway? HE'S BREASTFED! " Wanda stated, before slamming the door. A moment later he hears the lock fall into place, and sighs.

Picking up the fliers, he heads off to hang them, clearly he wasn't welcome back in his room right now. Looking down he realized he didn't have his boots. Cringing at facing the wrath of either his wife or his sister-in-law, John quickly decided that borrowing a pair of shoes from Remy would be safer.

He quickly knocked of the LeBeau door. It opened a moment later to a glaring Remy " What?!" he hissed.

" Wanda went mad, can I borrow a pair of shoes?" John replied.

" Fine. But Wanda's always mad." Remy replied. he shut the door, and John cringed at the sounds from the other side, before it reopened and Remy shoved the boots at him.

" I expect them back. You owe me for wakin my wife." Remy said, then slammed the door.

God everyone is in a bad mood today. John thinks as he pulled on the boots and walked away.

~o~O~o~

Remy climbed back into bed, on to be rudely pushed back out of it. " What de hell?" he demanded.

"Ya better make sure that door is locked, and put up the no knocking sign, or just don't botha to come back to bed! That was the third time one of your friends knocked!" Rogue replied.

"... You knew Logan first!" Remy replied as he set out the no knocking sign and relocked the door.

" And John thinks y'all are brothers." Rogue replied.

" How is that my fault?" Remy questioned, before climbing back into bed.

Rogue burst into tears. " I'm so tired. The baby won't let me sleep , then I finally drift off, and Oli needs me, then your stupid friends keep stopping by. Any minute now Kaitie's gonna be up, and I haven't slept! So don't whine to me bout John being crazy" She said between sobs.

" It's okay, Cher. I take the kids out ta breakfast, you just get some sleep. Then you'll feel better. Don' worry none." Remy said as he gets dressed and gathered the children's things.

" T-t-thank you " Rogue sobs. then wails " I'M A BAD MOMMY."

" No you aren't you're a great Momma. You need sleep cause your human, and your growin' a person, which takes more energy. But dat don't make you a bad mom. And 'sides, it just gives me an excuse to show off our wonderful children. " Remy replied, before getting the babies up, hugging his now calm wife, and walking out of the door.

I had nearly forgotten how crazy pregnancy makes her. Remy thought to himself, as he headed towards the garage, to take them out for breakfast. He runs into a harassed looking Wade on the way, who demanded to know where Remy was going, and made him promise to be home by 4 pm. Remy have every intention of being home long before that anyway.
