Chapter Thirty-Seven: House Full of Kids

Here is the next chapter for you all.

I apologize for how long it took me to update. My hubby and I went on a vacation and I and I left all my things at home so that I could focus on him and family.

I hope you all enjoy and have a Jesus filled day.

Previously:

Xavier closed his eyes already imagining the pain the four had gone through. He had picked up on that even though they were protective of Greg and Gambit, the two did suffer from mental side effects from their time in capitation as well. Taking a deep breath the professor opened his eyes and looked at Ava who was looking at the wall with a smile on her face. He too had to smile when he realized that school had been let out and all the teenagers had come home. He could hear all the excited thoughts that were going through Remy's students head's. They had been chopping at the bit to have him back so their excitement was to be expected.

Now:

Foggy red eyes opened when small weight was placed on his chest. Yawning his left arm went over the small bundle that was on him while adjusted to the morning. Tiny hands grabbed his shirt and pulled like they person they were attached to was trying to get his attention. With a final groan Remy looked at his youngest with his unseeing eyes while in the corner of his mind he could see his wife moving around getting dressed. Sitting up the Cajun pulled Ethan (1) closer to him feeling a weight lifted off his chest. He was beyond happy to be home and to be able to feel the joy his students had upon realizing that he was home. Blinking down at his youngest he smiled, "Hey chilie." The one year old made a cooing sound burying his face into his dad's chest, "You must have really missed your old man." Reaching down he took off the bracelet he had forgotten to take off the day before. Lifting Ethan up Remy kissed his child's head.

"You were missed very much." Cuddling his child close in his arms his head lifted to meet Alexis's (2) lips with his own. A sense of peace washed over him as he enjoyed the close contact with her. When she pulled away she hugged his head into her chest, "Having you home sets my mind at ease."

Remy smiled happily, "He missed being in your arms. Dis cajun had so many dreams where he tought he was home instead of on de road."

As he rested his right hand on Alexis's hip she spoke, "After my class with my students do you want to go out and eat with just me and the kids?"

"Remy'd like dat." The man replied looking up at her as she backed up and balanced herself by placing her hands on his shoulders. She was quiet for a moment as she stared down at him, "Chere, are you okay?"

She seemed to smile at him and if the emotions he was getting from her was any indication to go by, "Just taking you in. It's been too long since I've seen your handsome bed head."

"Tanks for de complement beautiful." The French woman's grin got wider as she sat down gently squishing her youngest between her and her husband as she kissed him hugging him around the neck. Remy took that time to wrap his left arm around shivering when he realizes she was wearing one of her silk tops. Pulling away he whispered as he glared lightly at her, "Dat's not fair."

The woman giggled, "You're the one that likes the feel of the fabric."

"Remy is blind, he has no choice but to rely on touch when it comes to your many outfits." The Cajun defended only causing his wife to giggle, "You are an evil woman when you want to be."

He was rewarded with a kiss, "Only against you."

Ethan had had enough of being ignored so he whined and pulled at his dad's shirt. "Awe chilie, are mommy and daddy ignoring you too long." Remy kissed his son's forehead and rubbed his back as Alexis got off his lap and left the room to go check on their other kids who were making a ruckus in their room. Remy rolled his eyes when he saw his wife entering their room and them trying to hide what they were doing wrong. "Your older siblings are little stinkers when dey want to be. Try not be like dem please."

Ethan made incomprehensible babbles as his father walked around and reached his hand out to touch his clothes to find what he wanted to wear. When he had first gone blind he hated that he was unable to tell what he was picking by sight. It was with the help of his friends and wife that he was able to accept and learn a different way to pick clothes. Since he knew what color actually looked like in a sense he had an idea of what actually looked good together for the most part. So his sister in law had a great idea to put brail labeling what the shirt was and what color. Also when he went blind he really learned what kind of fabrics he liked and didn't like extremely quickly. He never realized how unnecessarily uncomfortable he was making himself on a daily basis. Since then he had become extremely picky about what he would wear. Alexis took it in stride and had taken it upon herself to remember the different things he did and didn't like, especially when it came to touch and smell. In addition to his touch his sense of smell had cause a lot of issues as he was trying to get used to being blind. He found that the strong perfumes that women would wear would bother him whereas in the past he loved it. He also had to be careful what cologne he wore as he could accidentally make himself dizzy. Finding a shirt he wanted he looked at his child, "What do you tink? Too much?"

The one year old laughed in response causing his father to do the same as he pulled the shirt off the hanger and threw it onto the bed after he pulled out a pair of jeans as well. Sniffing the air he shook his head, "Who in de world let Kitty cook? Remy is not eating dat." Rolling his eyes he went to the bathroom and put Ethan in the bathtub so he could take off his shirt. With his shirt off he turned on the faucet and knelt down cleaning his hair while he watched his son crawl around the limited space he was in. Remy had done this a dozen times and he and Alexis found it easier for him to watch Ethan and get ready at the same time while she got the other four ready. Ethan was easy to keep happy so long as he so long as he had access to the parent he wanted at the time. Stopping next to his dad Ethan's little hand touched his dad's shoulder. Remy's sightless eyes looked at his child, "Are you trying to tell him you want your hair washed too?"

Ethan put his other hand in his mouth making the Cajun laugh amused, "You are a funny chilie dere. Daddy loves you so much because of dat." Remy quickly finished cleaning his hair and fixing it up to what he felt was presentable then walked into his room with Ethan so he could get dressed. As he got dressed the child milled around the room and ended up playing with one of his mom's tennis shoes. After the father finished putting on his shirt and pants he started putting on his own shoes. Raising an eyebrow he said, "Ethan, what are you doing?" The child giggled and crawled his way over to his father, who had started to tie his other shoe, "Daddy can't wait till you get older and he can get a chance to see de man you will become."

"Dada." Remy froze then looked at his son in surprise. "Dada."

The Cajun felt a tear prick the corner of his eyes, "You just spoke." Picking up his child he hugged him to his chest, "Daddy tought it would take longer."

Ethan's soft hand touched his face, "Da."

"Yes, daddy is here and he is very proud of you." Remy kissed his child's head and ran out of the room hoping to show Alexis while Ethan was on a roll. "Alexis, he spoke."

"He did?" She looked at her youngest, "Did you talk my little angel?"

Ethan grinned around his fingers and reached with his other hand to play with his dad's shirt, "Come on, show mommy you can talk. You were doing so good."

Seeing Ethan was staying quiet made Remy groan but Alexis just laughed lightly, "It's okay in time he will talk around me too. So what did he say?"

"Dada." Remy grinned into his child's hair, "He did it while crawling up to dis Cajun."

The mother gave a soft squeal, "Awe that is to too cute."

"Dada?" The child said looking at his dad giggling. Alexis felt her heart melt at how precious her baby sounded talking. "Dada."

"Is that Ethan?" Angela (3) asked running up wither her sibling's right behind her.

Remy laughed joyfully, "It sure is, he's on his way to talking." As the kids cheered Ethan giggled and the parents smiled in joy happy that the youngest was talking. "Etan is going to be a big talker when he gets older dat is for sure."

"I sure hope so, he sounds so precious." The blue eyed woman replied rubbing the red eyed child's back. The one year old turned and looked at her with the eyes he had inherited from his father. "Yes, I'm talking about you little man."

"Ethan, can you say my name." Remy knelt down so that his sons could look at each other in the eye. "I'm Zachary (4)."

Red on black eyes looked into green on black. Ethan was quiet for a moment then giggled, "Dada."

The five year old pouted. "Don't worry Zach." Alexis said kneeling down and kissing her oldest boys temple, "He'll get your name in time. Just like Diane (5) and Delilah (6) did."

"Mom are you and dad going to give us another sibling?" Angela asked curiously tilting her head to the side.

Both of her parents looked at her both baffled with her question. Remy cleared his throat and replied, "As of right now mommy and daddy have deir hands full wit you five." What he didn't want to say to his daughter was that it was now impossible for them to even have another child since he had that right taken care of after Ethan had been born. He and Alexis were extremely happy with the five children that they had and felt there was no need to add anymore children to their already big happy family.

Thankfully this satisfied their oldest who gave a smiled and gently kissed her baby brother's cheek, "You'll be the best Ethan." She then ran off to find Jean.

As she left her sisters followed her leaving behind their parents and their brothers. Remy looked at his wife still baffled. The French woman gave a sigh and smiled lightly, "We'll talk about this later love."

The Cajun nodded standing up and walking down the stairs with Alexis holding Zachary's hand as they went down. Reaching the bottom of the stairs Scott and Peter stopped and smiled at them. The sunglasses wearing man saying, "I heard you guys getting excited. What happened?"

Alexis grinned widely, "Ethan spoke his first word. We've been waiting a long time for him to talk."

Scott smiled, "I bet. I'll be honest I'll was wondering why he wasn't talking."

"He's like Remy." The sunglass wearing man looked at the blind father in the eye, "He started off delayed in speech den when he learned to actually do it he talked nearly nonstop till he learned dat it was okay to be quiet."

Scott laughed amused, "I would have never thought that. It always seemed like you didn't stop talking when you were working with Magneto."

"Dat's just because he had a lot to say and it was fun to irritate you all." The Cajun laughed amused patting his son's back as he giggled with his dad.

Scott looked at the married man unamused, "You are not as funny as you think you are."

Alexis laughed and kissed her amused husband, "You're right he absolutely hilarious." This caused the man to gain an even cheekier smile as he chuckled walking past the unamused man while Colossus laughed.

Scott looked at the French woman with a light glare, "Why do you feel the need to encourage him? He's bad enough without that help."

"Hm." The blue eyed woman tapped her chin then replied, "Because I like the attractive way he smiles when he is acting cocky and amused." She then walked off with a wide grin heading to the kitchen her oldest boy letting go of her hand and running to the living room where he saw Evan. Reaching the Kitchen the French woman was happy to see Ava (7) and Gill (8), "Good morning, how did you sleep?"

Ava gave a small sigh rubbing her temples, "I can honestly say that I will not be staying here even if I didn't have the most amazing job in the world. There is way too many people in this building for a telepath to sleep peacefully. How Professor Xavier does it is not only a mystery to me but I applaud him."

Gill smiled amused as his friend, "I on the other hand slept well. The bed is far better than trying to sleep in the car." He laughed when the woman next to him smacked his arm, "Just cause you had a hard time sleeping doesn't mean that I have to."

"Yeah, but you didn't have to brag about it you jerk."

"I can brag all I please and there is nothing you can do about it."

He stared at her making Ava glare at the metal veined man, "You are such a jerk. What did Elaine (9) see in you anyway?"

Alexis laughed hearing the two banter back and forth as she turned to the fridge to pull out the ingredients so she could make everyone something to eat so that they didn't only have Kitty's food to pick from. Her mind going over things her kids liked to eat. "Remy love?"

"Chere?" The man asked walking to stand in the door way.

"We have the ingriedents for you to make your gumbo." She turned and smiled, "Do you want to make that tonight?"

"He can do dat. He'll just make sure to make a wimpy version and de real gumbo." Remy chuckled kissing his wife on the cheek, "He is sure de kids will like to it since it has been a little since Remy had made it."

"What do you mean by wimpy version?" Logan asked walking in with Kitty and Kurt.

"He means de type dat doesn't have all de spices dat ot'er people can't handle."

Logan chuckled, "You mean your kiddos right or are they good with all the spices?"

"His kids can handle de spice since dey were raised on it." Remy laughed as Ethan giggled from his dad's arms, "He be talkin about de wimps who can't handle de heat. He be hopen dat you are not one of dem."

"I dare think you are challenging me there brat."

"Dat's because he is old man." The Cajun laughed as he heard the teenagers running down the stairs. "Need any help getting everyt'ing done before de teenagers have to go to school?"

"Oh you are wonderful." Alexis kissed her husband on the lips and looked at Kitty, "Do you mind watching Ethan in the mean time."

The peppy woman smiled happily taking the one year old, "I'll stay in here." Turning to Angela who had walked in, "Will you please go and get your brother's toys please?" The seven year old nodded and ran off to do what had been asked of her. Remy smiled at his wife and helped her make breakfast for a mansion full of people.
