** Epilogue **
~EIGHT
MONTHS LATER~
Jubilee
pointed her hand to the window where a ball of dust was at the corner.
"Stop
that," Kitty fluttered a feather duster at Jubilee from her floating position.
"Why?"
"You don't
need any stress on your stomach,"
"But I
wanna help. Its my apartment,"
Remy and
Jubilee were moving into a large portion of the attic which included two bed
rooms, a small bathroom, kitchen and TV/Living room.
"Okay this
is just impossible," Bobby sat in front of the unattached pieces of crib. Rogue
giggled. "And what is so funny?"
"Nothin',"
she flew over to him on her back. "Its just cute seeing you trying to do that."
"You wanna
try it?"
"Sure,"
she got to her feet then sat next to him.
* BAMF *
Kurt appeared next to Remy who was in
the main bedroom. "Vhere do you vant these boxes?"
"Just lay them here,"
"Not too bad for storage area,"
"Yeah, I think we can move in
tomorrow,"
"Cool. Maybe I could kick Bobby out,"
"Yeah. You try that,"
"Just a thought," Remy didn't apply
and was looking at the bed. "Vhat's wrong?"
"Hmm? Nothing just thinking,"
"'Bout vhat?"
"How far I've come. Five years ago I
was living in the streets and stealing wallets now I'm engaged and I'm gonna be
a dad,"
"Long vay man,"
"I know,"
"See, that wasn't so hard," Rogue said
to Bobby when she finished putting the crib together. "Try the other one." She
kissed his cheek and got up.
"Kitty. You've gotta let me help,"
Jubilee whined.
"Jubes, I'm not gonna let you do
that,"
"It's just dusting,"
"Lee…"
"Fine, I'll help Lyric and Scott,"
Jubilee made her way to the small kitchen across from the window.
"Scott hand me that paintbrush," Lyric
asked him.
"Here," he handed her the brush
dripping with white paint.
"Thanks," Lyric started to paint
again.
"Hey looks like you guys are almost
done," Jubilee mumbled.
"Yeah,"
Jubilee kept walking until she got to
her and Rummy's room. "Howdy stranger."
"Hey," Remy took her hand and brought
her in the room. "What do you think?"
"I like it,"
"Good. So what brings you back here?"
"No one will let me help,"
"Aww, I'm sorry," he kissed her
forehead.
"It's my apartment too, and I wanna
help,"
"They're just worried about you,"
"I know its just frustrating,"
"Don't vorry," Kurt popped into the
conversation. "They'll let you do stuff vhen you hafe the kids."
"Yeah," Remy comforted. "Just a few
more days," Jubilee grabbed her stomach. "What?"
"Nothing. One of the just kicked,"
"Jubes," Kitty called from the nursery
that was across the mini hallway.
"Coming," Jubilee walked over.
"What do you think?"
"Its wonderful," she awed at the room.
The walls were painted pale green. Two cribs were standing near a window. On
either side of the room stood tow dressers, a changing table and on one side
was a couch. The last thing her eyes noticed was a rocking chair between the
two cribs. "Thank you."
"No prob,"
"Did Bobby finally get the cribs
together?"
"No. He got fed up with it and went to
help Kurt. Rogue finished,"
"She went to get your stuff,"
"Where are Lyric and Scott?"
"Still working on the kitchen,"
"I can't believe you guys are doing
all of this for us,"
"Why?"
"I don't know, it's just too good to
be true,"
Kitty smiled. "Well it is true, so
deal with it. Come on lets look at the kitchen." She took a hold of Jubilee's
hand and escorted her to the kitchen. Lyric was giving the final touches on the
wall.
"Look's great guys," Jubilee
commented.
"Thanks," Lyric got off the step
stool.
"You guys can probably move in when
the paint dries," Scott stated.
"Hey guys," Bobby came by the kitchen
with boxes in hand. "Where do you want these?"
"What are they?" Jubilee asked.
"Some of Remy's junk,"
"Put it in the bedroom," Bobby
continued walking back and Remy pasted him going to the kitchen.
"Looks good," Remy observed the
kitchen.
"Where do you want this Jubes?" Rogue
was floating holding boxes too.
"Is it my stuff?"
"Yeah,"
"My room," Rogue went on the returned
to the kitchen.
"Wow, you guys did a number on this
place,"
"Thanks,"
* BAMF *
"This is the last box, its from your box Jubilee,"
"What's in it?" Jubilee looked at the box Kurt was
holding.
"I don't know. It vas in the back of you closet,"
"Well open it," they both knelled
along with the group. Kurt peeled the tape away. "Oh…" in the box was pictures
of her and Remy.
"What are all those doing in there?"
Remy asked.
"I, I put them away after I saw Sarah
kiss you. I guess I forgot,"
There was a long pause.
"We've looked at these rooms long enough,"
Bobby said. "Wanna watch TV?" everyone agreed.
"Remy help me up," Remy took Jubilee's
arm guiding up. They walked to the room.
Jubilee got the recliner with Remy
sitting next to her on the floor. Bobby and Rogue were on the couch on the far
end. Kurt was sitting in the middle with Kitty on his lap. Finally on the other
side from Rogue, Scott sat along with Lyric whose head was on his chest. Bobby
flicked the TV on. When he did Jubilee felt a sharp pain and almost fell
forward. Remy jumped up.
"What is it?"
"What do you think?" she almost
yelled.
"We've got to get her down stairs,"
"I'll get a hold of Jean," Lyric said.
"How can we get her down there? She
can't walk," Remy was now panicked.
"Calm down," Lyric told him. "I got a
hold of Jean. She's down in the infirmary."
"How can we get her down?" Remy asked
again.
"I can get her down," Kurt offered.
"Okay," Jubilee stood up, going
towards him.
"No, I'll come to you," Kurt walked
over to her taking her hand
* BAMF *
Remy dashed to the steps running down.
The others followed but walked. Remy raced to Jubilee holding her hand.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"No, I'm not okay," she snapped.
"Its gonna be okay,"
"Oh, what do you know?" Jean came in
the room.
"How are you feeling Jubilee?"
"Horrible,"
"Okay, well lets get you to the car,"
"The car?" Jubilee and Remy said
simultaneously.
"You can't have the babies here,"
"Why not?"
"I'm not qualified. And I don't have
the right equipment. It's only to Westchester Hospital.
"Fine," she huffed getting up and
following Jean. "Remy after this we are never having sex again.
"Huh?"
"Lets just get her to the car. You
guys can met us there," by that time the others were gathering around. Jean,
Remy and Jubilee got to the car.
"Are we going?" Kitty asked.
"Yeah," Scott said. "Bobby, you,
Rogue, Kurt and Kitty take the jeep."
"Alright," Kurt said. "But vhat about
you and Lyric?"
"We get the 'cycle," the four climbed
in the jeep.
"Vait, who's drifing?"
"Ah am," Rogue was already in the
drivers seat.
Scott got on his bike and Lyric on the
back. She slipped her arms around his waist.
"Like our first date," she rested her
chin on his shoulder. The engine started.
"Yeah," he took off behind the jeep.

(hospital
seven hours later)
"Here's your daughter, Mr. LeBeau,"
the doctor handed him the baby girl. "She, uh, she has your eyes." Remy looked
down at the baby's red eyes.
"She's beautiful," Remy sat in a chair
next to Jubilee who was holding their son Hunter.
"Hi Delia," he whispered. "I'm your
dad." He laughed a little. "I'm a dad."
"Why don't you go show the others?"
"Both of them?"
"Yeah,"
"I don't wanna leave you,"
"I'll be fine. I need to rest,"
"Okay," Jubilee handed Hunter over to
Remy. "I'll be back."
"I know,"
The nurse opened the door for him.
(Waiting
room)
"How long have they been in there?"
Kitty asked.
Lyric checked her watch. "About seven
hours."
"That long?"
"Calm down Kitty," Kurt got up. "Are
you gonna be like this vhen ve hafe kids?" she smiled at him.
"You think about that?"
"Sometimes," he grinned.
"I could never go threw child labor,"
Lyric said.
"Why not?" Scott asked.
"Too much pain,"
"Well at least you two can have kids,"
Rogue mumbled.
"Someday Marie," Bobby brushed a white
strand away from her face.
"Hey, here comes Remy," Kitty stood up
with the others.
"They're adorable,"
"Can Ah hold one?" Rogue asked.
"Sure," he handed her the dark-haired
baby with blue eyes. "That's Hunter and this one's Delia."
"They're beautiful," Lyric acknowledged.
"Wanna hold her?"
"Yeah," she smiled. "She looks just
like you."
"Yeah, she does,"
"Hunner looks lahke Jubilee,"
"Look, I've gotta get them back to the
nurse,"
"Can we visit Jubilee?" Kitty asked.
"Sure, but just you first, she's resting,"
"Okay, I'll take Delia back," she took
the little girl from Lyric and started to walk with Remy. "How does it feel to
be a dad?"
"I don't know really how to describe
it. It's kinda weird. I mean, I helped create these two lives. And I
would give my life to them,"
"Wow. I can't wait to be a parent,"
"Want one of ours?"
"Very funny," Remy opened the door
while balancing Hunter. "Is she awake?"
"I don't know," they walked in and
placed the babies in the small plastic cribs.
"Do they have names Mr. LeBeau?"
"Yes. The boys is Hunter," the nurse
jotted the name down on a label. "And the girl is Delia-Lee." She did the same
and stuck the labels on the cribs.
"They'll be in the nursery,"
"Thank you," they nurse left with the
twins.
"Where is she taking them?" Jubilee
had woken up and noticed her children being taken away.
"Just to the nursery," Remy went to
her side. "Kitty's here to see you."
"I can see,"
"Hey," Kitty approached the other side
of the bed. "How are you feeling?"
"Wonderful, in fact I think I'll run
the two mile relay. Remy hand me my shoes. I'm feeling okay,"
"When can you come home?"
"Tomorrow,"
"That's great, hey, I'm gonna leave
you two alone,"
"Tell the others 'hey',"
"Sure," Kitty walked threw the door.
