Hazel Eyes

Chapter 9

Note: this might get confusing. Okay so when Marie talked to Jubes, she said that when Logan didn't get his dinner on time, he was grumpy. I meant that JAMES the BABY got grumpy or that's what Marie said. Sorry guys!

~xXx~

When Logan walked back into the apartment, he found Marie watching some show on the TV. She looked bored and he blinked. "Marie? Are you okay?" He called, walking over towards her with confused eyes. Was there something wrong?

"I'm fine," She said forcefully trying to hide her emotions from him which he didn't like. "I'm fine…"

Logan never hated anything more than when she blocked him out. He plopped down beside her, and noticed she was looking at a book that explained what you should do when your newborn came and everything. He then got thinking, would he be there for her? Would she want him there?

Did she wish the daddy was there and not him?

"Uh, I gotcha your chocolate and apple juice," Logan said awkwardly, passing the bag over to Marie.

"Thanks," Marie took the bag, and looked inside; pulling out the stuff Logan got her. She smiled at him, he had been so kind to her and she wanted to say really say thank you. She met his eyes. "You've done so much for me, Logan. Let me bring ya out for dinner, Friday?"

He wanted to say no, but the way her eyes looked so hopeful made his heart melt. "Fine, but I'm payin'."

She clapped her hands together joyfully, with the apple juice and chocolate along with the bag on her lap. "Yay!" she grinned.

What had he gotten himself into?

~xXx~

It was Thursday, and that meant that the two were going out for dinner the next night. Logan had no idea why he was so worried about it, was it because he knew he liked the kid? Oh yes, she was a kid.

No. He told himself. She wasn't. She was going to be a mom in only a few weeks.

He shook his head as he began to get ready for his job when he heard Marie go towards the bathroom. He knew about how much she needed to pee a day, no thanks to James. He chuckled as he left the food which he had made for her so she wouldn't have to be on her feet too much and then he was gone.

"Logan?" Marie came out only 7 minutes later. "Logan, are ya still here?"

Logan walked out of the apartment and then found the four nerds looking for that level five mutant. He shook his head as he went towards the car Marie let him use. "Logan!" he heard his name, and looked over to find Jubilee running towards him, she looked happy. "Guess what!"

"What is it firecracker?" Logan asked, knowing that she would stop him from heading to work. He had to pay for his half of the rent and with the cub on the way…

Jubilee beamed. "I can' believe I found the Wolverine's house!"

"It's an apartment," Logan said. "And it aren' mine."

"So you're living with someone!?" Jubes gasped, "WHO!?"

"Listen, I don' go duggin' into your business and I'd like if ya didn' do that to me," Logan explained, narrowing his hazel eyes ever so slightly. "And whoever I live with don' matter to you."

Jubilee pouted, "You're so mean!"

"So I've been told."

"Logan!" Jubilee and Logan turned, turning to the door to find a very heavy Marie there. She was surprised to find her best friend there and held a lunch bag in her hand. Marie blinked surprise. "Jubilee?"

"Rogue!" gasped Jubilee who jumped at her friend, pulling her into a hug.

Marie almost dropped Logan's lunch which was a beef sandwich, a water bottle and some of her cookies. She even put some extra chocolate pudding with his lunch that day. She held onto his lunch tightly, before her best friend let her go.

"You're huge!" Jubes grinned as she looked down at her best friend's belly. "You're glowing too!"

Marie didn't feel good about herself when Jubilee talked about her weight. "Thanks Jubes…"

"You're havin' a boy!" Jubilee clasped her hands together. "And you're namin' him James, right?"

She tried to reply but then Logan was next to his Marie. "Logan…." Marie turned to face him and then smiled at him. "Ya forgot your lunch…"

"And you rushed down here just to give it to me?" Logan asked; he was very touched.

She nodded, forgetting Jubilee was there. "Yes…I know what ya get like when ya don' get your lunch and everything…" She rambled. "Why? Don' cha wanna have your lunch? I made your favorite! There are peanut butter cookies, beef sandwiches and a surprise!"

Jubilee raised an eyebrow at this.

"Marie, thank you darlin'," Logan said, blocking everyone else out. He only had his attention on her. "Thank you so much darlin', I don' know how I forgot lunch and everything."

Marie smiled up at him slightly. "You're welcome,"

"Am I missing something?" Jubilee asked, "The Wolverine likes peanut butter cookies?" Logan shot her a warning look. Marie now held onto his arm, tightly. "And when did Roguey and you like move in together!?"

"Jubilee- it's not like that." Marie said, trying to explain herself to her best friend. "Logan was helpin' me and he kinda just moved in."

Logan actually wrapped his arm around Marie's waist. "So you two aren't a couple?"

"It doesn' matter to you," Logan growled warningly. "What we do together don' matter to any of ya!"

Jubes held up her arms, "I was just wondering because Roguey is my BEST friend!"

"I would never hurt her,"

"Oh yeah? Why did you run and leave her for years then?" Jubilee narrowed her eyes. "You burned out this fire that she had to herself, and ya know what? I don' wanna see my best friend hurt! She was there for me through everything, and now she's gonna be a mommy! If you're gonna be there for her, ya gotta do it RIGHT!"

"Jubilee," Marie groaned. "Logan takes good care of me and James."

Jubilee turned to her friend who was being held by Logan. "I want you to be happy, Rogue. Logan can make ya very happy, I know it but he can also really break ya," she tried to explain. "I care a lot about ya and you have a kid on the way. You don' need him screwing everything up!"

Logan tightened his arm around Marie's waist. "I wouldn't hurt her. I care about her….I….I really care about her."

"You do now? Why did you run then?" Jubilee placed her hands on her hips.

"I had to," Logan said. "And before ya ask why, I did it cause of the Wolverine. She was ready to mate, to have kids. I could smell it on her and she was at the age where it wouldn't be wrong. I had to go because she needed a little time before she had me…. But…"

"But!?" now Jubilee really wanted to know.

"I….."
