Rogue sat on the bed the next morning. She turned her head and looked at Gambit. He was sleeping peacefully. His mouth was slightly parted, his calm breathing making her tired. She got up and went to go take a shower. She checked on Gage, who was sleeping on the bed Logan had put in there for him. She smiled, seeing him sleeping. She left them alone.
"Hello, Sheila." John greeted.
"Hi." She said dryly. She watched him walk down the hall with a little suspicion. She then shook her head and continued on her way.
-
Gambit woke up when someone was jumping on his bed. He opened his eyes and fixed them on the culprit. Gage. Remy groaned and put his face in his pillow.
"Daddy!" He didn't move. Gage stopped and started poking and shaking him. "Wakey!"
"Non.." Gambit shook his head. He squeezed his eyes shut. Gage made a wimpering sound.
"Mommy wants ya ta wakey!" He said with a little trouble. Gambit gave up and sat up. He pulled the kid into his lap and searched around.
"Dere is n' snooze button.. Merde." He let the kid up and looked at the clock. It was only 9:30. "Merde."
"Its 'bout time ya woke up." Rogue said, peeking in. She gestured to Gage. "C'mon, Sugah, time fo' breakfast."
"Remy be down in a minute." Gambit said tiredly. She gave him a look.
"Go down an' get Kitty, Gage." The little boy nodded and ran down the hall clumsily. "Ya betta not lay back down." He shook his head and slipped into his clothes. He sighed.
"Y' keep Remy up, wantin' t' talk an' den y' don' say anythin'." She smirked then left the room.
"Breakfast in five!" Someone shouted from downstairs. Gambit cringed. It must've been Jubilee.
-
Logan stared at John. He had the remote, as always, and he was watching cartoons, as always. He was drinking soda. This was a daily occurance. Rogue walked into the room and sighed.
"Where is Kitty?" She asked. Logan motioned his head toward the backyard. She nodded her thanks. John grinned and looked at Logan.
"You're old." He said, blinking. "I noticed that none of the Sheila's around here like you." He sounded really serious. "'Cept 'Ro. I've been noticin' you two goin' off somewhere together. Prolly gettin' hanky-panky in the closet." Logan was up and in front of him in a flash.
"How much do you value your voice box?" He asked slowly. He stood back up and crossed his arms. "None of the "Sheila's" would want a nineteen-year- old who sits around watching cartoons and reading the comics every day."
"HEY!" John shouted indignantly. "They certainly wouldn't want someone who needs anger management!" He then noticed Rogue walking back into the room. He wrapped an arm around her waist. "Wouldn't you date me, Roguey?" She gave him a disgusted look.
"No." She said coldly. "Not if mah life depended on it." She tried to pull away but his grip was too strong.
"Ya know ya would." He said smugly, giving her a kiss when she turned her head. Hard. Gambit came in from the kitchen, holding a cup of coffee. He dropped it when he saw the sight. Rogue pulled away and was startled and angry. She shoved him hard into the wall.
"What did ya think ya were doin'!?" She screamed at him. She turned around and stopped, frozen. She just noticed Gambit standing there. Logan grunted and left the room. Gambit just turned and ran from the room. Rogue bit her lip and ran after him. She couldn't catch him in time and couldn't find him by the time she got out the door. She searched around until she heard a small explosion. She followed the sound and saw him sitting against a tree, charging cards and throwing them. He wasn't aware that he was starting to charge the tree. "Remy!" She called, running to him. He didn't pay any attention to her. "Ya charged the tree!" She kneeled down next to him and the glow around the tree faded. He gave her a look.
"Y' don' love Remy." He looked away from her and she stayed silent.
"Remy.. Ah'm so sorrah." She said quietly. "Ah didn' kiss him. Ah love ya, Remy. Ya gotta believe meh." He didn't look at her and he continued to charge up the cards.
"I jus' don' wanna lose y' again." He said quietly. She threw her arms around him and held him tightly.
"Remy, y' ain't gonna lose meh." She whispered. "Neva." She felt him shift so that he was facing her. He wrapped his arms around her and leaned his head on hers.
"Y' mon Rogue." He said.
-
Gambit didn't speak to John for over an hour. He sat, glaring at him. John apologized over and over and over again. Finally, Gambit forgave him after hearing the story.
"Jus' don' eva d' it again or Remy'll charge y' up." Pyro nodded vigorously.
"Fine, mate." He got up. "Time to annoy Wolvie." Gambit watched he ran out of the room with a huge, stupid grin on his face.
"Wolvie is goin' t' knock dat grin right off 'is face." He shook his head and sighed, closing his eyes for a nice nap. Someone started to crawl into his lap. Finally succeeding, Gage leaned against his chest and let out a tired sigh. Kitty smiled and pulled out a camera, taking a picture of the cute scene. She had to put the flash on. Gambit sat straight up and blinked. "What is it wit' people an' not lettin' Remy sleep!?"
-
Rogue was lying on the bed, reading a magazine. Gage was with John, Kitty, and Kurt. Kitty had practically begged Rogue to let them all play with him. He was the only kid in the institute. Rogue thought they were awfully sorry, but Gage was adorable. She didn't notice someone else enter the room until they stole her magazine.
"Yo're readin' dis?" Gambit asked, blinking. She gave him a look and took her magazine back. "Dat takes yo're attention away from Remy.." He pouted. She smiled and tossed it.
"It was gettin' borin' anyway." She said, rolling onto her back so that she was looking up at him. He smirked. He had no shirt on, a towel draped around his shoulders, and a pair of baggy sweat pants. She stared at him. "What?"
"Nothin'." He sat on the edge of the bed and started to dry his hair. She took the towel off of him and smirked.
"Ya don't need ta dry your hair off." She threw the towel at the hamper and missed. She then wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
"Remy be lovin' de attention his Roguey is payin' him." She kissed his cheek. He leaned back into her and she almost fell over. Gambit laughed at her.
"It was so funny." She stated, rolling her eyes. He pushed her down on the bed and smirked at her.
"Y' got dat right, Chére."
-
"OI!" John shouted. He started running away from Kitty as she chased him with the hose. "Get away from me with that!" Kurt and Kitty were laughing so hard. They were soaking wet. John raced past Logan and Kitty got him and his motorcycle wet.
"Pyro!" Logan snarled. He didn't feel like chasing him, however, so he let it go and decided to get him back later.
"Don't spray me!" He ducked behind Jean and they got her soaked. "Stop!" They got him wet just as he tripped over a bucket. Soapy water went all over him. Scott had been washing his car. "Damn you.." He grumbled. They started laughing at him and they continued to have a water fight.
-
Rogue laid next to Remy. He was playing with her hair, twirling it around his fingers. She was thinking of what she had been told he went through. She looked up at him and smiled tenderly at him. He returned it and kissed her forehead. She rolled onto her side and stared at the door. Someone knocked.
"Come in." Remy said. Jubilee came in and smiled at them.
"Gage just wanted to see you two. Can me and Bobby watch him for a while?" Rogue nodded waved to Gage as he left with Jubilee.
"Everyone loves him." Remy said proudly. "'Specially Remy."
"Ah love 'im too. How could we not?" She smiled at him and leaned her head on his shoulder. He sat up and leaned down, kissing her. He was still gentle with her, she noticed. Her heart started beating faster. He could still make her knees go weak.
-
Gambit laid on the floor of the living room that night, putting a puzzle together with Gage. He put a piece in then Gage put a piece in. It went on and on like that. Kitty and Kurt were sitting on the couch, watching a movie. Rogue was reading a book. John was sleeping in front of the couch. Ororo sat with Evan, playing chess. And Piotr was watching them. Gambit looked at the clock and saw that it was 8:30. He looked at Gage.
"Time fo' bed." He picked the boy up and carried him upstairs.
"Story?" Gage asked, pouting.
"Oui." He nodded and smiled.
-
Done. All done with this chapter.
