Cat's POV
"Cat? What did you ask Charles about that you didn't want me to hear?" I really didn't want to answer that and I knew I couldn't lie to him so I put off answering it until we got to our room. "Well?" He had been patient enough to wait till we got back to the room.
"It was about children." I kind of mumbled the last word but this was Logan so of course he understood.
"What about them? About you being pregnant? You looked disappointed, what did he say?" Boy he was quick… most guys would need it spelled out for them.
"Yeah, about me getting pregnant and the concerns that might develop. He said I could get pregnant but as far as a safe pregnancy for the baby… there aren't any known cases of a mutant like me having a biological child." That information was a little disappointing. "He didn't say that it was impossible… he just said that there weren't any known cases."
"Do you want kids? I know, that's probably a dumb question after our current conversation."
"Yeah, I do want kids… someday. My biggest concern is what will happen if they don't have our mutations?"
"What would we tell them when they turn old and we're still young?"
"Logan, I'd hope they would understand that before that happened. But what about the stress that would put them under; knowing that their parents will probably never die?"
"We'll figure it out when we get there. Right now we've got a rehearsal to get ready for." It warmed my heart that Logan wanted kids too… he never came right out and said it but I knew he did.
"Right. Now, where's that dress?" I went directly to the closet to look for my red, v-neck sweater dress. "Found it!" I started to undress and that's when I noticed what I was wearing. "Logan, what did you dress me in?"
"I think you look cute, darlin'." He popped his head out of the bathroom.
"Of course you do. I'm wearing your t-shirt and shorts." I rolled my eyes, I was only teasing him. I grabbed panties and a bra from the dresser and slipped them on quickly. I had just pulled the dress on when Logan came out of the bathroom. "Well, don't you look suave. Black dress pants and a long sleeve, button-up shirt." Of course, his shirt was unbuttoned right now.
"And look at you… lady in red. You look gorgeous, babe." He was now really close to me and slipped his arms around my waist pulling me even closer. I ran my hands up his bare chest, resting them on his shoulders.
"Are you trying to get me hot or what?" I knew my eyes were slowly darkening to sapphire.
"I'm not trying to do anything… is it working?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?" My eyes were now back to the ice blue so they couldn't give me away.
"But I do know. Let's finish getting ready. At this rate we're going to be late." He quickly kissed me before going to put his socks and shoes on. I hunted down my red sandals and slipped into them. I applied a little bit of make-up and a necklace and earrings. "Ready, love?"
"Yes, Logan, my love, I'm ready." We both took a deep breath before heading downstairs. The rehearsal went smoothly and my ring was well hidden. I finally met Storm's fiancé, the Black Panther. I can see why he caught Storm's eye. He was really nice to everyone and told us about some of his adventures. The really interesting thing was that he and Logan actually got along well. We were all sitting down for dinner when Jubilee got everyone's attention.
"Piotr and I have an announcement to make." I looked at Rogue who only shrugged her shoulders. "We're going to Russia after the wedding. We'll be gone for about six months." It was an odd an announcement to make at the rehearsal dinner.
"Let's wait a little bit before we make ours." I whispered only so Logan could hear. He nodded.
"Let's eat!" I'm guessing that John was hungry… that boy's always hungry though.
"Smells good." Laura said as soon as the plates were set down in front of us.
"What's wrong, Cat? You're not using both hands?" Hank had to be observant.
"I guess now's a good time?" Logan whispered in my ear.
"I guess so." I replied and Logan dinged his glass.
"Cat and I have an announcement to make."
"You're not leaving after the wedding either, are you?" Kitty was a little worried.
"No, no it's nothing like that. Logan and I are engaged. It happened last night."
"What? Really? Are you serious?" Everyone began asking questions all at once.
"Rogue, Gambit, you're not surprised by this news?" Storm asked.
"They told us while we were at lunch earlier. They wanted to make sure it was alright with us if they made the announcement tonight." Rogue replied.
"That's wonderful news. I'm so glad I made it in time to hear that Jimmy's getting hitched to a ball and chain." Sabertooth. What the heck was he doing here?
"What do you want, Sabertooth?" Scott stood up. "I suggest you leave now."
"And miss all the fun? Why would I want to do that? Besides, I think Cat owes me something."
"She owes you nothing." Logan was angry… he was beyond angry. "Get out of here before you get hurt. Again."
"Sabertooth, you shouldn't be here. Neither should I but at least I'm not threatening the Maid of Honor and soon-to-be Mrs. Wolverine."
"Magneto?" I was shocked to see him but I hoped he's be able to get Sabertooth out of here.
"Hello, again, Catarina. I'm sorry about the last time. Sabertooth, let's go."
"Fine. I'll be back. Cat, you know what I want so if you know what's good for you, you'll give it away before I see you again." I did not like his threat. Magneto and Sabertooth left and things tried to get back to normal.
"Cat, babe, what did he mean?" Logan had pulled me to the side, away from the others.
"My virginity. He thinks he holds some sort of right to take it away from me. He doesn't. It's mine to give to who I choose and I choose you, Logan. I do, but for some reason it scares me. I've tried so hard for so long to protect myself that I feel vulnerable when I even get close to losing myself to you. I'm sorry."
"What's there for you to be sorry about? This is not your fault. You're very brave and strong to be able to protect yourself like this. I love you even more for it. I'll wait until you're ready and I'll try everything in my power to make you safe." How did I find a guy so amazing as this?
"I love you so much, Logan." We started kissing; it wasn't deep or disgusting PDA but it was gentle and passionate.
"Get a room!" John yelled. We both rolled our eyes.
"I don't really want to go out for the bachelorette party… not after all that." Rogue spoke the exact thing I was thinking.
"There's plenty of room to have them both here." Kitty replied, clearly sharing the same feelings.
"But where's the fun in that?" Jubilee whined. She's good at whining.
"I say we have it here. We'll have a spa upstairs. The boys can do whatever." I suggested. Of course, Jubilee couldn't complain at the mention of the word "spa." After dinner we girls went upstairs and the boys stayed downstairs. We all got into our pajamas and popped in a chick-flick… a wedding chick-flick. We did manicures and pedicures, facials and had watched a couple of movies. As everyone was falling asleep I quietly made my way toward the door.
"If you're going to see Logan, you may want to put on something other than that." Jubilee pointed disgustingly at my t-shirt and cut-off sweats. "Besides, you shouldn't even be going to see him."
"Jubilee, Logan has seen me in this every night for the past six months. Hush, before you wake everyone up." I left after that and made my way downstairs.
"Sneaking in to the bachelor party?" Scott surprised me which caused me to yelp.
"Scott, don't do that! Not after Sabertooth… Can you get Logan for me, please?"
"Sorry. Yeah, sure, no problem. You two are really engaged." Scott asked before heading into the room to get Logan. He looked a little hurt.
"Cat?" At the sound of his voice I melted into his arms. "What's wrong? You're shaking like a leaf."
"You remember the dream I had earlier?"
"The one where I killed Sabertooth?" He almost enjoyed that a little too much.
"I had it again but this time…" I buried my head in his chest, trying to control the tears that were running down my face.
"This time? What happened?" He pulled me in tighter.
"You didn't make it in time… it seemed so real…"
"Shhhh… it was just a bad dream. There's no way Sabertooth is going to hurt you. I'll be glued to your side morning, noon, and night to make sure he doesn't touch you. Come on, let's go to bed."
"What about the party?" I looked up at him.
"You're more important. Besides, I think Cajun would understand." He kissed my forehead and then we made our way upstairs.
