Disclaimer's: I hope you all excused the crappy violence in the last chapter and will read the conclusion to Forgotten. It'll probably be a little shorter than the other chapters, but... Here you go.

Rogue woke up surrounded by a sea of concerned faces. She was in the Infirmary and wasn't feeling very good at all. She still had Storm bouncing around in her head. She also felt... sore.
She struggled to sit up, only to be pushed down by Jean, Logan, and Beast. Her bracelet was back on, but looking at their faces, she didn't think it had helped.
"I lost it, didn't I?" she asked no one in particular.
"Yeah, darlin', you did," Logan said. He didn't look like he had suffered any ill side effects from the lightning, even though his eyes were red and puffy.
"I'm sorry," Rogue said.
"Don't be," Logan answered, "Thanks to you, we're all alive and feeling halfway decent."
"Where's Storm's..." Rogue trailed off.
"We'll take care of all of that later," Beast said, "Right now, you need your rest."
"But, I'm not sleepy!" Rogue said.
"We are!" Jubilee said, "I dislike being knocked unconscious. I think we all deserve a nap. You've been sleeping for the past 3 hours."
"All right," Rogue said, and fell asleep...

That was 2 years ago. Today, the Mansion is rebuilt and the X-Men, all of them, are there now. Scott and Jean brought their son, Nathan (aka Cable) to stay there. They even started taking in a few new students again.
Jean, Beast, Scott, and the Professor still teach all their old classes. Even Logan took one, phys ed. Nikki and Cable seem to like each other a lot, so, who knows? Maybe there will be another wedding coming up.
That's right, I said another. Rogue and Logan got married a little over a year ago. Nikki was a bridesmaid and The Professor gave Rogue away (as a joke, people said Gambit should've done it, but, oh well).
The best part would have to be Logan cutting the cake with his claws. We all knew he'd find a way to act up.
But today, yes, today is a special day. Why?
Rogue's coming home from the hospital.
With her daughter Makendra.
They call her the Miracle Baby, because after all, the odds of her being born were 10,000 to 1.
Do you believe in miracles? Rogue did once, until her hope was forgotten in the far away country of Antarctica. She found it again in a rugged mountain man. She lost it from him, but then he gave it back. And now look!
She'll never let it be forgotten again...

Well, what do you think? I like that ending...
