A/N: Goodie! I'm done and never have to see this story again! Though I'll miss Ren.


1 year later

Rogue hefted the heavy box into a more comfortable position in her arms. Small feet could be heard walking beside her. She stopped by the closed front door and realised the wind must of blown it closed. Shifting the box so she could see the girl beside her, she smiled and nodded at the door.

"Amy, can you find someone to open the door for mommy?"

"Dah." Squeaked Amy.

Rogue watched as Amy turned and waddled towards the kitchen. A few minutes later, Victor emerged from the kitchen, Amy sitting on his shoulders. Her eyes glimmered with mischievous twinkle, her mouth hidden behind Victor's ear.

"What's up with your kid and ears?" asked Victor.

"She's like chewing them." Shrugged Rogue.

Victor chuckled and opened the door for her. She smiled in appreciation and continued walking to the car parked out front, Victor following. Ren was currently standing by her car, loading up a few more things while Squall clung to one of her legs. Rogue put the box down and held out her arms. Squall squealed and let go of his mother's leg, running into Rogue's arms.

"Hey squirt. I'm gonna miss you so much."

"We'll be living twenty minutes away and I'll be here everyday to teach all the annoying brats of the mansion." Muttered Ren.

"You love every single child at this school... you just won't admit it."

Ren shrugged and dusted off her hands as she packed the last box away. Rogue looked over to where Amy was and laughed as she watched Victor try to pry her away from his ears. Stroking Squall's blonde hair, Rogue turned back to Ren.

"Come on, the party's about to start."

"Why did you organize me a farewell party?" moaned Ren.

"Because I knew it would upset you."

"Does my pain really make you that happy?"

"Yes. Yes it does."

Laughing at the expression on Ren's face, Rogue handed Squall back to his mother and walked back into the mansion. Opening the doors to the grand hall Rogue smiled at the scene before her. There was a music centre in the corner where most of the students were hanging out, probably talking about. Along the left was buffet tables with mounds of various dishes. Remy and a three month pregnant Storm were standing by the doors leading to the back garden, gazing at all the different flora in bloom. Kitty, Bobby, Paige, Jubilee and Piotr were all standing in the centre, animatedly talking to one another. Victor and Ren walked in, each holding a toddler, both heading towards the buffet table. Rogue smirked and walked towards the bar in the corner. Logan looked from the glass he was wiping and smiled. Next to him, sitting on the counter of the bar, was Summer. Rogue leaned over the bar to kiss Logan on the lips and she gave Summer a peck on the cheek.

"Having fun?" she asked.

"Yeah, loads." giggled Summer.

"That's good."

"Guess what Auntie Marie?"

"What sweetpea?"

"Dani is coming to stay with us."

"That's great."

"I know, right! Now I have a big sister and a little brother."

"You're a lucky girl Summer."

"I know... I'm gonna go bother uncle Remy."

"He's not your uncle!" yelled Ren from the other side of the room.

Summer giggled and skipped away. Rogue moved around so that she was on Logan's side of the counter and wrapped her arms around him. He sighed and wrapped his arms around her as well, planting a kiss in her hair.

"Marie, you can't still feel guilty."

"Dani almost died and it was my fault. I mean... she went into a coma, and she lost all that blood-"

"But she survived because you made sure everyone was tested to see if they had the same blood type. And when you found out Victor was her compatible blood type, you held him down until he agreed. Then we she woke up from her coma, you spent every second by her side until she was fully recovered. So, don't feel guilty, okay?"

Rogue sighed and nodded.

"Good, now where's my girl?"he asked.

"Last time I checked she was trying to chew your brother's ear off. Literally."

Logan sighed and moved out from her embrace. She watched as he looked up and signalled across the room. After a few minutes Victor sat down on a stool and plopped Amy on the counter. Logan handed him a beer before taking his daughter and tickling her belly. Amy giggled and her little hands reached up, trying to grab Logan's sideburns. He carefully held away from his face, once she was near your face nothing could stop her from reaching the ears. Amy pouted and her eyes began to fill with water. Rogue sighed and took Amy from Logan.

"Don't cry baby, mommy's here."

"Mommy!" cried Amy.

"I know, I know. Daddy's just a big meanie."

Logan merely growled and sipped his beer. Rogue smirked and walked over to where Ren, Summer and Squall were standing at the buffet. She sat Amy next to Squall, who was on the floor eating ice–cream and put an arm around Ren.

"Having fun?" asked Rogue.

"No."

"Oh come on Renny!"

"Okay, okay. Maybe this isn't so bad. But we should leave now. Dani says the movers are almost done."

"Oh so that's where she is."

"Yeah she went a hour ago to wait for them. So I'll just get Victor and we'll be gone."

"I guess... see you tomorrow."

"Yup, another day of work, it never ends."

"Where would the fun be if it did?"

"True." sighed Ren.

"Hey Ren?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks... for saving me."

"It was Logan's choice."

"You keep saying that but I think maybe you influenced his decision a little."

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Okay whatever."

Rogue smiled and at Ren who winked back before picking up Squall and leaving. Rogue giggled and kissed Summer on the cheek.

"Bye sweetheart."

"Bye auntie Marie. Congratulations on the baby."

"Baby?"

"Oh... I thought uncle Logan told you... daddy smelt it a week ago."

"Baby?"

"Maybe he didn't know... I gotta go."

Rogue watched as Summer ran from the room. She looked across the room and saw Logan was trying to avoid her gaze. She looked down at Amy who was smiling up at her.

"Do you believe daddy didn't know?"

"Gah!"

"Neither do I."


It was better now that there was no suffering. He even forgot all the previous suffering he'd experienced. He kept her going for so many years by giving her hits of his power. She could finally escape being human. They lived their life at the mansion; dedicating everyday to the dream Charles had laid out, their children and each other. After Amy came Justin and there would have been more but when he suggested another one, Marie had a dark gleam in her eye and he immediately took her to get on the pill. Both kids inherited Logan's mutation instead of Marie's, a fact she was proud of everyday.

Amy was twenty now, and Justin eighteen. Both were at collage in Canada with Squall and Ettiene, Remy and Ororo's little thief. The number of times that kid sniffed around Amy regardless of the fact that she was older, made Logan's blood boil. Summer became his assistant in defence classes, her katana skills the best he'd ever seen. Charles had moved to Scotland and left the mansion in Marie's hands as she was his adopted daughter. Danielle moved back to the mansion and took up Hank's position as resident doctor.

Logan smiled as he watched the students run around the pool, splashing each other and playing power basketball. Marie sat next to him on the grass, her head on his shoulder. They watched as Victor waded around the pool, little Teddy sitting on his shoulders. Ren sat at the edge of the pool holding Tallulah and Tory. It had been the longest six months when Ren had fallen pregnant with the triplets. Victor had actually disappeared for three months rather than face her. Chuckling, Logan rubbed Marie's arm and bent closer, lips brushing her ear.

"I love you." He whispered.

"Love you too sugar. Forever."

"Forever."
