"So what do we do now?" Rogue asked him looking into his brown eyes.

"Get all emotions out of the way. Everything we feel for each other we let out."

"An` tha consequences?"

Lance looked at her and smiled. "I promise not to leave you with a child."

Rogue's eyes narrowed as she hit him. "Mah emotions fer ya don` go that far nor near it Lance Alvers."

He chuckled and shrugged. "Had to make sure you were still you."

"An` who would ah be if ah wasn` me?"

"Well, if you had agreed I'd think you were taken over by aliens."

"Aliens aren` that bad. Only the oozing` ones."

"I'll keep that in mind." He said chuckling as he lifted her chin and pressed his lips against hers.

Rogue instantly returned the kiss. She felt his arms wrap around her waist as she moved her around his neck, both pulling each other closer.

"So a big party?" Evan asked grinning.

"No party." Jean said. "She's only been gone a week."

"But she had to live with them, Jean." Kurt told her.

"Fine a small party then."

"Absolute no…."

"A small party would be fine." Scott said cutting off Jean who glared at him. "Just a welcome back party for her. Some snacks, some music, and maybe a small cake."

"Cupcakes even." Jamie suggested.

"Fine a small party. But you guys are going to talk to Logan and Ororo about it."

The guys all exchanged a look. They knew they could pass it by Ororo, but Logan was another story. They needed a plan, and fast.
