The Andre family was the first to get to the dinner table when Storm was cooking. She looked at them and smiled at Gambit while he played with his youngest. He was holding him in the air and pretending to drop him, causing the child to laugh. "Ooo, oh non you are gunna fall.", Remy said in a baby voice causing the rest of his children to start laughing while they pointed at their silly father.
Storm couldn't help but join in on the laughter when the thief got up from his chair and started making plane noise while flying his child in the air. Alexis got up and walked up to Storm. "Do you mind if I help?" Storm shook her head and giggled when Ethan started laughing again. Alexis started to chop up the vegetables, "Do you think it is weird seeing him like that?"
Storm looked at the wife of the thief, "No, I think it is wonderful. He is finally happy, and he got that the day he met you. Even when he was chasing after Rouge he was never this happy."
"I see, do you think this Rouge will cause any problems? I heard that when he joined the institute she started to avoid him like a plague.", Alexis said adding the tomato's to the salad.
Storm looked over at Gambit when he said to his child, "Non, don be trying to explode your father. Not nice." He then absorbed the energy into his fingers.
"Unfortunately she did, which I find such a pity. He really did like her, but you should have nothing to worry about. If I know Remy he is faithful to the girl he set his eyes on. Even when he was chasing after Rouge he was faithful, though it didn't look like it at times. He was such a flirt.", Storm replied with an adoring smile on her face. "When did he learn to do that?"
Alexis giggled, "I would have never believed it till he showed me how he did flirt when I asked him too. I think he is very adorable when he does flirt, I wouldn't ever care if it was with another girl. Because you are right he is the most faithful man I have ever met in my life. He learned that when he evolved it is especially useful when Ethan tries to blow everything up. He even learned how to see using his kinetic energy to see; he doesn't really charge anything but it is like charging. He charges the area around him just enough to put some movement without causing harm to anybody or thing. It is very subtle it came to him when he lost his eye sight, his power mutated to his situation."
Storm looked impressed, "So now he is able to charge things with out touching them?"
Alexis nodded, "Yes, but only if he allows it. He has such control over his powers now that we have children, he doesn't want to hurt them by accident."
Scott and Bobby walked into Gambit putting his youngest on the table and tickling him. The child started to laugh and in doing so charged the table, Ethan was shirtless at the moment. Gambit quickly absorbed the energy and pick his son off the table, "I told you he should have his shirt on."
Remy looked over at his wife's voice and smiled sheepishly, "Oui, you are right as always. Remy is going ta go do dat now."
Scott and Bobby didn't move but were surprised when the thief went around them. Storm smiled at Gambits back, "I see what you mean by how he is able to see better. Does he run into anything?"
Scott looked at Alexis, "I thought you said he couldn't see?"
The wife looked at him, "He can't, he is using his powers to see. He is an empath you know." She turned back to Storm, "Only when he wants to make the children laugh. I swear he got sillier and sillier with ever child."
Storm and Alexis laughed together, "Yes, I have also noticed that he has become a suck up when it comes to pleasing you."
Everyone in the kitchen laughed, excluding Scott and Bobby, when Gambit yelled, "Chile would you stop trying ta blow up your father. Dat is rood you evil chile,…"
"The end of that sentence is 'now he knows how the people in the guild felt when Remy got his powers'.", Alexis said, causing Storm to laugh.
Jean walked in with Rouge and Kitty, "What did we miss?"
"Gambit almost getting blown up by his son.", Alexis said with a laugh.
Rouge looked shock, "Gambit is here?"
"So I take it you are Rouge?", the girl with the white streak in her hair nodded, as Alexis walked up to her and held her hand out. "I am Alexis Andre, Remy's wife. It is nice to meet you."
Storm's jaw dropped, 'Oh no she didn't, is she trying to make Rouge feel bad.'
Even Scott was in shock, 'Is she the jealous type?'
Rouge hesitantly took the woman's hand, "Hi, nice to meet you. So I take it those are his children?"
Alexis smile at Rouge's hesitance and took her hand back, "Yes, my beautiful children. My sister says we made some really good looking kids."
Rouge smiled, "I would have to agree with your sister, they are precious. I am glad he found someone, I didn't treat him well when he was here. I felt bad when he left; I never really got over the guilt."
Alexis smiled gently and put her arm across the girl's shoulders, "You and I will get along just fine. So my husband tells me you have the ability to absorb people's powers. How has your training gone, I noticed that you are no longer wearing gloves that he said you always wore? Unless of course he was lying."
Alexis guided Rouge out of the kitchen so they could talk privately. Rouge laughed as she replied surprising Scott and Bobby who were now sitting at the table, "No he was telling the truth, I got control about three years ago. But every potential boyfriend is still scared to touch my skin. It was the one thing I missed about Gambit, he was never afraid of my powers."
The rest of the conversation wasn't heard as the women walked off to get to know each other. "Wait are Gambit's wife and Rouge actually getting along?", Bobby asked, slacked jawed.
"That's my sister, easy to forgive if she finds it worth it.", Christopher said, tickling Diane. The two males looked at the teenager.
"Who are you?", Bobby asked.
"That is the brother of the woman that walked out.", Scott said, glaring at the teen. "Brat."
Christopher and Andrew both stuck their toungs out at the man with the sun glasses. Spike walked in saying, "Aunty Roe, is dinner almost done?"
Storm smiled at her nephew, "Almost, to sit down with the rest."
Spike walked over to the table and knelt down in front of Zachary who stared at him in shock, "Hey, I hear you like to play pass. Your dad and I were talking while he was changing Ethan and he was telling all about you and you siblings. Maybe you and I can play sometime, I will try not to pop the ball like I do every now and again when I get excited."
Zachary realized what Evan said and laughed, "Only if mommy and daddy let me."
Evan winked, "You got it kid they will be the first ones I ask."
Andrew looked under the table, "Oh so that is where you went."
Zachary pouted at Evan, "I was going to scare him."
"Oh, I am sorry. How about this when I get permission to play with you we will scare other people.", Evan compromised, giving a big smile.
The five year old smiled and nodded, Storm then spoke up causing Evan to pout. "Don't forget you have to act you age sometimes."
Zachary laughed and pointed at Evan pouting face, "You are funny."
During dinner Evan continued to talk to Zachary telling him funny stories of when he was a teenager. Of course he had the little girl's attention too with his wild gesturing. Ethan on the other hand was with Ororo who had Ethan sitting in her lap as Gambit kept on eye on his son next to her. Alexis was still talking to Rouge, they were both swapping stories about Remy. Christopher and Andrew were talking to Xavier about the school.
"So where do we practice our powers if we aren't allowed to do so outside the gate?", Christopher asked taking a bit of lasagna. His eyes bugged out, "Wow Storm this is really good. You have got to teach me how to make this so I can make it when my siblings aren't here."
Ororo looked up from Ethan and smiled at the blue eyed teenager, "Sure just let me know when you want to learn how to cook. I will be happy to teach you."
Christopher smiled thankfully at her and turned back to Xavier who was chuckling him, "There is a training room in the basement called the danger room. This is where all of my students practice their powers and team work."
The two teen smiled at each other, "When do we get to go down there, that sound fun?"
"Yea, and who do we get to practice against?", Andrew added.
"Well I have never had anyone so eager to go to the danger room before. How about you pick your opposite and you can go after dinner for a light exercise.", Xavier replied while laughing lightly.
"No need Chuck; I will take the boys down there. I need to see what they are capable of.", Logan said, causing the teen males to get excited. "And maybe when you are done talking to the professor you and me can spar Gumbo."
Gambit chuckled, "He would but he has ta be near Etan, just in case his powers go off."
"Sugar, go train with Logan. We will have Ethan somewhere out in the open before he goes to bed. I know for a fact that your wife will not let anything happen to him.", Rouge said with a small smile on her face.
"Remy is surprised dat you are talking wit him."
"I did you wrong when I avoided you, I am sorry for that. I now realize what I am missing out on, but that is ok. I will eventually find someone who wants to be with me, and if no one does I can always adopt a mutant and take care of them.", Rouge explained.
"Come on bub, you aren't afraid of me are you?", Wolverine taunted, with a smirk.
"Oui oui, he concedes. He will be down dere after his talk wit da professor.", Gambit held his hands up in defeat.
"Show him what you got honey bear.", Alexis teased, with a wink.
"Of course, he has to show his fine women dat her man can protect da family.", Gambit said, with a smile.
Other than the fact that Scott, Bobby, and Kurt were not interacting with anyone dinner went great. After dinner Andrew and Christopher dragged Wolverine out of the dinning room to go exercise with the man, Logan couldn't help but like the teen's enthusiasm. Ororo, Alexis, Rough, and the other women went to one of the living rooms with the Diane, Delilah, and Angela. Evan got permission to play with Zachary so he took him outside to play before he had to go to bed.

Ok there you all go.
You can obviously see that I am trying to add in Gambit's accent and I hope to add in Rouge's and the French accent that the rest of Remy's family has. If any of you have any information on how to achieve that I will be grateful to you.
Thanks for reading you wonderful people, so until next time. Ta ta.
