The Flowering Evolution
Logan didn't really care about the legal part of society - what was his, is his no matter what anyone said. He was simply doing this for her.
He had gone through the wars of conflict with his brother simply to keep their bond. Now, he was doing something similar again for his Gabriella. He'd seen the news like everyone else and their thoughts about mutants - he knew without a doubt that his girl was going to start an up roar with for filling her desires.
CHAPTER SIX
It was late afternoon by the time i was ready for the day, I must have been more tired than i originally thought. Logan had left early that morning to teach so I took another set of pain killers before making my way through the school. I quite liked it here, the place seem to be buzzing with activity no matter the time of day, whether it was children laughing or some of the older kids playing basketball outside. It was different compared to their house, it always seem too large for them with Logan away on missions.
The day seemed nice enough so i made my way back out to the gardens, passing the basketball courts to the seats on the edge of the grounds. As I sat there, I let my eyes wander around me until they landed on a girl, she stood near one of the bushes, a flower in hand. Before i could look away, the blonde girl suddenly disappeared from the spot and just as quickly turned up next to me on the seat, her legs crossed like she had been there the whole time. I had to give myself a second to slow my beating heart, the girl simply twirled the yellow daisy in her hand. "Sorry if i scared you, I forget sometimes." The girl finally looked up, her eyes a striking blue.
"I'm Gabriella."
"I know." The nine year old took me by surprise. "You're with Logan." The girl Logan's name with such care that i didn't know what to say. "They call me Lily." She twirled the flower between her fingers before lancing up again. "Like the flower."
"It's a very pretty name." I said curious of what the young girl meant.
"Logan picked it for me." Lily said it like the answer was simple.
I frowned at the new information, the way Lily phased her sentences seemed out of element. "He did?" Instead of saying anymore, Lily nodded her head.
"Do you think it will be a boy or a girl?" Lily's question once again took her by surprise, the girl simply stared at me stomach like she was excepting to somehow find out the answer.
"I'm not quite sure, I would love the babe either way." I stroked the small bump, feeling completely at ease at that moment.
"That's good to know, a child always needs love." Lily's sentence once again struck me as strange as I watched the young girl start to pick the pedals from the daisy.
"Lily, i see you've introduced yourself to Gabby." Xavier's voice came from beside them, i hadn't heard the man coming over with my attention focused on the girl.
"Hi professor, Gabriella is a real nice lady." Xavier simply smiled at the young child. "I think I'll go find Alex now." Lily stood up from the seat and turned to me. "Thanks for the talk Gabriella." Before i could say anything, Lily suddenly disappear from spot.
"She's a...unique girl." I said trying to find the right word to describe Lily.
"She's has had a hard life for a girl so young." I tried to imagine, a girl who looked so innocent have to survive the hardships. "Logan found her." My eyes flickered up to Xavier, some of the conversation with Lily now made sense - her fondness for Logan. "She came to find out her mutation at a very young age and her parents reacted badly. It had only been a few months when Logan had found her in the ally way, six years old I believe she was."
I couldn't bring myself to imagine a child in such a state but I felt proud that Logan was the one to find her and bring her to the school. The attitude towards Logan's suddenly made sense, "She thinks of Logan as a father figure."
"He is all Lily really has in this world, he has showed her the ropes of the school."
"Well she's a wonderful kid, just like many of the other students here." I smiled at Xavier, I don't think the man was shown enough gratitude for he did in this world.
"Logan is a very important asset to this school, he has helped many others even if he refuses any of it. I have no doubt in my mind that he will make a fantastic father." Xavier's words made my face turn into a large smile at hearing that about my man.
"Thank you Xavier for everything."
"It's my pleasure Gabby." The older man patted my knee before making his way to one of the kids by the pond. That short conversation with Xavier deleted whatever fears I may have had about parenting, I still had no clue what i was really doing but i believed I could do this with Logan by my side.
I laid on the bed, my eyes set on Logan as he stood in the bathroom in front of the mirror shaving his face. I tried to keep the smile off my face at his cream covered face, he looked like Santa Claus minus the red clothes and large stomach. "I met Lily today."
At the mention of the nine year old, Logan stopped his action for a moment. His expression stayed clear of any emotion but I caught hint of the spark in his eyes at the girl's name. "That child can be a fox."
"She seemed cute." I said, not sure why he would be calling Lily the name.
"Trust me, the girl is full of mischief." This time a smile came to his lips.
"What? She's had you chasing your tail?" Logan quickly wiped the cream off his face before making his advance on the woman spread out on the bed. If I didn't know any better, i would have said he had turned wolf with the primal look in his eyes.
"Do i look like i have a tail?" His voice wasn't angry instead a smile graced his lips as he pulled me to the edge of the bed, my ass almost hanging off it as his hands stayed planted on my knees.
"I don't know, I'd have to check." He grabbed my hands using them to pull me up into an upright position before placing them both on his ass. The muscles under my hands flexed, the wide grin staying plastered onto my face. "I don't know...I think I'll need a search, you never know what you're hiding under these jeans." I wrapped a finger threw one of this belt hoops and pulled him closer, his mouth going straight for my neck before making his way to my lips.
I went to wrap my legs around him when he suddenly freeze up underneath and got up from the bed without an explanation to the bedroom. I went to question him when the bedroom door open, Rogue stuck her head through. "Henry has the test results." I merely stared at Rogue trying to wrap my head round what was actually happening. "You coming?"
"We'll be right behind you." Logan shouted from the bathroom.
At the sound of the bedroom door clicking closed, he came back into the door adjusting his jeans. "You heard her coming."
He simply threw me a grin, pointing a finger to his ears and tapped the side of my thigh.
"Come on babe, let's go see Doctor Henry." He pulled me up from the bed, his finger going underneath my chin and giving me a kiss.
I took one of the seats across from Henrys desk while Logan stood leaning against the book shelf. Henry had his glasses pushed to the end of his nose, his desk littered with paper work. "The results came back, it's a urine infection. I'll keep giving you the pain meds and some antibiotics and it should clear up in the month."
"Thanks Henry." I hated that there was a problem but grateful that the baby was clear.
"No problem Gab, I actually wanted to know if you guys waned to find out the sex of the child today." As Henry said the words, my eyes went straight to Logan. We have never really talked about whether or not it was a girl or a boy, we didn't think it would matter either way because we would love the child no matter the sex.
Logan gave me a nod of his head telling me his thoughts before I turned to Henry. "We'd love too."
"Well, i have the information right here." He opened one of his files and pulled out a couple of photos. "I took the pleasure of printing a couple of the ultra sound so you could have a photo of your baby boy." Henry handed me the photos, I could feel Logan standing behind me as I stared at the photo, our little boy. Logan's squeezed my shoulder at the sight of their child, she knew he would wait until they were alone to finally express his affection as that's the kind of person he was. "If you want I can leave you alone?"
"Actually Henry, there was another matter I wanted to speak to you about."
"Oh and that is?" Henry took his glasses off, placing them on the desk in front of him.
"The debates on the mutant rights." I saw the same spark in his eyes that I felt run through my body at the idea.
"Now that is a very good topic for discussion."
"Did you think it will pass?" Henry would have some idea if the debate would pull through or not, positive for them that is.
"It's hard to say, you know the humans always succeed. The files you check over prove this, they need someone with a strong head on their shoulders on their side."
"I can do it." Henry's eyes flickered straight to mine, his eyes searching. "I'm positive I could do it, get me into a court room and we'll come out winning."
A smile reached henry's face. "And how do you feel about this Logan?"
"Not happening, it's dangerous." The venom in Logan's voice made my back stiffen but I wasn't going to back down, this was a chance of a lifetime.
"I'm doing it." I stood up from the chair so he wasn't towering over me. "I'm sure I'll have others with me."
"It will put you in the spotlight. Have you thought about what they would do if they found out that you were pregnant with a mutant?" His sentence shocked me, enough that I didn't get another word in.
"It would show them that mutants are no different to humans." Xavier's voice carried through Henry's office as he made wheeled his way towards them. "We would be treated equal with rights from court cases to legal marriage." I couldn't help myself, at the mention of marriage, my eyes went to Logan as I remembered our conversation the other night. We can marry but not in a legal sense that the rest of the world would recognize it and their little boy could live his life as he pleased without the pleasures of being a mutant. "And Gabby said, she'll have others there with her at all times."
"I still don't like it." Logan grunted out with his arms crossed.
"You don't have to like it, just deal with it because I'm doing it." I didn't wait for a further response and started for the door but i did hear snippets of the conversation.
"Stubborn woman."
"I prefer passionate woman Logan, and that's what we need to win this debate."
I paced the lounge, Kitty and Rogue seat on the couch as they watch me with my mouth rambling on about the last few minutes with the debate. "I'm going to do it" The determination was set in my voice.
"And I'll be right there with you." I never once mistrusted Rogue, she had always had my back once she realized that my feelings for Logan wasn't a fouls game.
"You can count on me!" Kitty practically bounced with excitement.
"Thanks, I really appreciate it that-" I was cut off by the sound of my cell phone ringing, i could almost guess who was going to be on the other end but answer it anyway because I had promised. "Hey Mom."
"Dinner, six o'clock tomorrow night, my place." The tone of her mother's voice left no disagreeing.
"Sounds fabulous." The phone clicked and my ear making a groan slip from my lips as I took a seat between the two girls.
"Trouble with the folks?" Kitty asked, her head leaning on the back of the couch.
"You have no idea." It seemed the time to such up dinner with her mother and Dani was upon her. And somehow I had to bring up the topic about Logan and our baby boy, the question was - should i take Logan along with me?
