disclaimer: The X-Men don't belong to me and neither does any of the songs
I've used. I thought it sounded like a neat idea, anyway, this is my first
fan fic so please be kind, and enjoy.
~ Part Nine ~
After a shower, Lizzy stood in her old room, which Rogue had moved out of after she'd left. She was dressed in a cami and boy shorts. It was summer time, and more would have been too much. She stared out the window of her room. She'd spent the remainder of the day with Rogue, Jean, Jubilee, Kitty and Storm. The women had gotten together and watched a movie, it was Someone Like You, with Hugh Jackman, Ashley Judd, Marissa Tomei and Gregg Kinnear. Lizzy couldn't help but see Logan in the character Eddie. She could relate to the character Jane and her pain. Falling in love and being used then thrown away by the one you love. Logan's reasons didn't matter, just that he'd done it. He hadn't said two words to her since he'd hung up on her, and he'd avoided even being in the same room with her since she's left the infirmary. Why he was giving her the attitude she didn't know, he'd been the one to break her heart. She took a deep breath, and laid her head against the window frame. She'd been three years without Logan, three years without a man, and she couldn't even think about anyone but Logan. She closed her eyes as tears began to slide down her cheeks as she stood there, thinking about her past with Logan. She was twenty five years old, and three years had passed since she'd fallen in love with Logan and lost him, yet she couldn't stop thinking about him. There came a gentle knocking on her door. Who was it? She thought she'd made it clear that she didn't want company right now. "Yeah?"
"Open the door."
It was Logan. She shook her head. "Now's not a good time, Soldier."
"I'm not asking, now open the door."
She took a deep breath and turned to grab her robe, but she couldn't find it. The knock came again, this time more persistently. "Hold your horses, Wild Boy!" She grabbed an over-sized shirt that she often slept in, and slipped it on over her head. Then opened the door. "What?"
Logan stared at her. The silvery streaks of tears on her face, and redness of her eyes, was heart wrenching. "We need to talk."
She stared at him with one hand on the door, the other on the door frame. "It's after twelve o'clock, Logan. Can't it wait 'til the morning?"
"It is morning and it can't wait, Darlin'."
Lizzy glanced at the floor then looked him in the eye. "Look, I'm not the same person I was when I left here, and I really don't like the idea of you and I being alone in a bedroom together."
He stared at her wounded slightly by her words. "What I got to say, ain't nobody elses business."
Kurt stood across the hall watching them. He met Lizzy's gaze and nodded slightly.
She studied Kurt, then nodded at Logan. "The door stays open." For whatever reason Kurt wanted them to talk. Could Logan have given his heart to God?
He nodded and came in the room. He stood quietly staring at her at first. "I wanted to apologize for being the way I was. I was out of line in the way I treated you."
Lizzy stared at him. "Logan, are you here of your own free will or is Xavier manipulating your mind? I know you don't talk like that."
He stood there staring at her.
Lizzy looked Logan in the eye. His heart was what mattered at this point. Her grandfather would only manipulate him so far. She closed her eyes at the words written in his heart. She'd wanted to hear those words for so long, but it meant little if they didn't come from his lips. He had to say them, to admit them. She met his gaze. "Go to bed, Logan."
"No! I've got something to say to you, Miss High and Mighty."
"I ain't a Miss High and Mighty! I'm not perfect by any means, but I'm not the same girl that left this mansion."
"You ain't changed all that much, Darlin'. And I know da . . . darn well that you were hiding at the monestary two and a half years ago. You're not going to ignore me now!"
Lizzy cocked her hip as she looked at him. "I've never ignored you, Tough Guy! You treated me like crap and broke my heart! That's why I left! That's why I stayed hidden in the monestary! Not because I wanted to ignore you! Yes, I was avoiding you, but I still can't hardly stand to be near you, because it hurts too much, not because I'm trying to be a . . .!"
He came toward her looking her in the eye. "Read my mind. Darlin', you know why I did that! Come on, get inside my head again!"
Out of the clear blue the radio in the room came on and the song The Search Is Over by Survivor came on. Lizzy stared at Logan. She had no doubts who had turned the radio on, a little Miss Jean Grey who apparently thought it was her duty to get involved. "I can't be hurt like that again, Logan. I won't be. I'd rather spend the rest of my life alone in celibacy than to have you hurt me like that again!"
"Darlin', I was a jerk! I'll admit it. You don't know what it's like to be me."
"Thank, God!"
"I deserve that. Come on, Amethyst, give me another chance."
"Why? You're the one who hurt me! You used me and threw me away. I don't care what your reasons were, the point is you did it!"
Logan nodded slowly, as he searched her eyes. "I can't make it right. You and I know that. But I can tell you that I'm sorry. Come on, baby, give me a second chance."
"Why? Why should I lay my heart out on the line, and risk everything, while you risk nothing?"
"Nothing?! Is that really what you think? Don't you get it, Darlin'? I risk everything when I'm with you! You make me question everything I do. You make me feel alive, like I ain't never been hurt! You make me forget the past, and fantasize about the future! You make me . . . Since there's people LISTENING, I won't say what else you make me." He came toward her again, but didn't stop as she backed away. She was against the wall now. "Darlin', I ain't never giving up on you! Come on, give me a chance."
Lizzy stared at him. She wanted so bad to give him that chance. To risk it all with him. "I can't. I'm sorry, Logan. I just got my family back, and I can't risk my heart right now. I love you, and I undoubtedly always will, but you aren't ready for me, and right now I'm not so sure that I'm ready for you."
He growled, then turned and walked out of the room.
Lizzy released a breath as she stood there.
"I ain't giving up that easy!" The door flung open and he came back in the room. His arm curled her waist as he took her in his arms. "Say no to this!" His fingers curled around the back of her neck and he kissed her.
Lizzy found herself helpless to control her reaction to his kiss. Her heart beat sped up, her knees grew weak and her arms rose to circle his neck. She responded with all the warmth of a woman madly in love.
Logan pulled away breathless. He searched her eyes. "Now tell me no!"
She opened her eyes and looked into his hazel eyes. "Don't think it's that easy. You have to put a wedding ring on this finger, you have to be willing to take that step, or this goes absolutly nowhere."
He stiffened, but refused to release her. He hated demands being made on him, whether they were his intentions or not! "Whatever it takes to keep you in my arms, Darlin'!" He lowered his head and kissed her again.
(It's True, by BSB) "Even a lover makes a mistake sometimes, Like any other fall out and lose his mind, and I'm sorry for the things I did, for your tear drops over words I said. Can you forgive me, and open your heart once again. Oh, yes It's true, I mean it, from the bottom of my heart. Yeah, it's true, without you I would fall apart. Whatever happened I know that I was wrong. Can you believe me, maybe your faith is gone. But I love you and I always will. So I wonder if you want me still. Can you forgive me, and open your heart once again. Oh, yes It's true, I mean it, from the bottom of my heart. Yeah, it's true, without you I would fall apart. I'd do anything to make it up to you, so please understand, and open your heart once again. It's true, I meant it from the bottom of my heart. Yeah, it's true, without you I would fall apart. Yeah, it's true, I mean it, from the bottom of my heart, it's true, without you I would fall apart. It's true."
Lizzy stood in Logan's arms, laying her forehead against his shoulder. She didn't want to let go of him ever. The songs on the radio made so much sense, of course it didn't help that certain people were making them play. "I love you, Darlin'."
She pulled away again and looked him in the eye. "And what happens this time? When my grandfather says no? When my father tells you that we shouldn't be together? When he says that you're too old for his little girl? What happens then?"
He looked her in the eye. "They're gonna have to kill me to keep us apart. I ain't losin' you and going through this crap again!" He pulled her back into his arms as his lips descended on hers.

Xavier stood a little ways down the hall with Evelyn and Magneto. After about four hours of debating about what to do about the situation, the three came to the conclusion that they needed to do something. Xavier looked over at Eric. "I guess we prepare to give her away."
"To him," Magneto demanded. "He's older than I am!"
"I am perfectly aware of that fact," Charles said. "But I'm also aware of the fact that she's in love with him. After all my daughter did love you!"
Eric looked at Charles. He didn't like the point that Xavier was making. "I was only old enough to be her father."
"I hate to result to this but to quote, Lizzy, 'He doesn't hardly age. He could live a hundred and fifty years easily. If he went with a woman his own age, she would die in a couple of years or so'. Not to mention that he couldn't go out in public with her, and she could never give him children."
Magneto looked at Charles Xavier, with a less than thrilled look upon his face. "She's my daughter."
"And my granddaughter, old friend. If they choose to be together there is little we can do to keep them apart. I'd rather have them here, under my nose than hundreds of miles away."
"You have a point, old friend. Shall we break them up for the night?"
"No," Evelyn said. "Three years without the man you love is hard, let him hold her a while."
The two men looked at her.
"Don't give me that look! No one is more afraid of the past repeating itself than I am, but I know what she's going through. Let her have these moments."

"Sometimes the snow comes down in June, Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon. I see the passion in your eyes. Sometimes it's all a big surprise, 'cause there was a time when all I did was wish you'd tell me this was love. It'e not the way I hoped or how I planned, but somehow it's enough. And now we're standing face to face. Isn't this world a crazy place? Just when I thought our chance had passed, you go and save the best for last. All of the nights you came to me, when some silly girl had set you free, you wondered how you'd make it through. I wondered what was wrong with you. 'Cause how could you give your love to someone else and share your dreams with me? Sometimes the very thing you're looking for is the one thing you can't see. But now we're standing face to face. Isn't this world a crazy place? Just when I thought our chance had passed, you go and save the best for last. Sometimes the very thing you're looking for is the one thing you can't see. Someimes the snow comes down in June, Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon. Just when I thought our chance had passed, you go and save the best for last. You went and saved the best for last." Logan kissed her temple. "That's just what I did, Darlin'. Kurt!"
Lizzy stared at him.
"Yes, Herr Logan?"
"Marry us, where we stand!"
"Logan!"
He looked at her. "What?"
"I didn't hear you ask for one thing, for two we don't have a marriage licence."
"Marry me." Lizzy couldn't help the joy that ran through her. She smiled. "Hey, Professor, Magneto, Evelyn. Come on in here. Go ahead, Kurt," Logan said.
Lizzy found herself staring as she and Logan got surrounded by the X-Men, and her family. "This is absolutly crazy!"
"So am I," Logan said. He nodded to Kurt, who brought forth the marriage licence. "We did a little shopping today."
"Sign here," Kurt said.
Lizzy closed her eyes a moment then signed the licence. And before she knew it, she and Logan were saying their marriage vows. As soon as it was signed by two witnesses, Magneto and Xavier, Kurt signed where he had to and the newly wedded couple was congratulated.
~ ~ ~
As Lizzy lay in her husband's arms the events of the day seemed so strange, so quick and so miraculous. Logan admited that he'd given his heart to God, after Xavier got up off the table and started walking around, and he and Kurt had had a heart-to-heart. How was it possible for all of the incredible things that happened to happen if not from God? It was awsome! Just awsome to be here like this, to have seen everything she had. Her father was staying at the mansion in one of the guest rooms. The fingers of one hand played over her arm, while the fingers of the other hand played with the fingers of her hand that rested on his chest. "We'll do it right, later on, for everyone else's benefit. However you want to do it."
"I can't believe I did this."
"What do you mean," he asked looking down at her.
She looked up at him. "Married you like this. We haven't seen each other in three years."
"Nothing's changed, okay some thing's have. I love you, Lizzy. I loved you then, that's why I had to push you away. Something, Chuck said, bothered me. I didn't want to believe it was the truth, but I couldn't help it. I've regretted those words every second for the last three years."
She touched a finger to his lips. "I know. Just listen." She laid her head back on his chest, and spoke directly to his heart.
Logan closed his eyes. She was something special. Here she was speaking telepathically to him, but he felt those words resonate through-out his entire being. It was a miracle from God that she was here with him, that she hadn't grown to hate him for what he'd done.
~ The End ~
"Every time I turn around, I run right into your pride. Sometimes I'm not so sure, if I wanna know that guy, know that guy. Cause you've got a rock hard head, you're stubborn as a mule. Oh, yeah and by the way I still love you. Go on and be that way, slam that door, make a scene, yell some more. Come on let's have it out. Have your say, 'cause with a love this strong, baby it's okay for you to be that way. Sometime what you don't say, can make the deepest cut. And I get my feelings hurt, and I just go nuts, well I go nuts. So try to ignor that girl, she's just blowing off steam. Oh, and I don't know about her, but I hope you say to me. Go on and be that way, slam that door, make a scene, yell some more. Come on let's have it out. Have your say, 'cause with a love this strong, baby it's okay for you to be that way. Baby, let's get emotional, what do you say we let it all go! Let it all go. Go on and be that way, slam that door, make a scene, yell some more. Come on let's have it out. Have your say, 'cause with a love this strong, baby it's okay for you to be that way. Be that way. Oh, yeah."

~ Part Nine ~
After a shower, Lizzy stood in her old room, which Rogue had moved out of after she'd left. She was dressed in a cami and boy shorts. It was summer time, and more would have been too much. She stared out the window of her room. She'd spent the remainder of the day with Rogue, Jean, Jubilee, Kitty and Storm. The women had gotten together and watched a movie, it was Someone Like You, with Hugh Jackman, Ashley Judd, Marissa Tomei and Gregg Kinnear. Lizzy couldn't help but see Logan in the character Eddie. She could relate to the character Jane and her pain. Falling in love and being used then thrown away by the one you love. Logan's reasons didn't matter, just that he'd done it. He hadn't said two words to her since he'd hung up on her, and he'd avoided even being in the same room with her since she's left the infirmary.

"Yes, Herr Logan?"
"Marry us, where we stand!"
"Logan!"
He looked at her. "What?"
"I didn't hear you ask for one thing, for two we don't have a marriage licence."
"Marry me." Lizzy couldn't help the joy that ran through her. She smiled. "Hey, Professor, Magneto, Evelyn. Come on in here. Go ahead, Kurt," Logan said.

Logan closed his eyes. She was something special. Here she was speaking telepathically to him, but he felt those words resonate through-out his entire being. It was a miracle from God that she was here with him, that she hadn't grown to hate him for what he'd done.
~ The End ~
"Every time I turn around, I run right into your pride. Sometimes I'm not so sure, if I wanna know that guy, know that guy. Cause you've got a rock hard head, you're stubborn as a mule. Oh, yeah and by the way I still love you. Go on and be that way, slam that door, make a scene, yell some more. Come on let's have it out. Have your say, 'cause with a love this strong, baby it's okay for you to be that way. Sometime what you don't say, can make the deepest cut. And I get my feelings hurt, and I just go nuts, well I go nuts. So try to ignor that girl, she's just blowing off steam. Oh, and I don't know about her, but I hope you say to me. Go on and be that way, slam that door, make a scene, yell some more. Come on let's have it out. Have your say, 'cause with a love this strong, baby it's okay for you to be that way. Baby, let's get emotional, what do you say we let it all go! Let it all go. Go on and be that way, slam that door, make a scene, yell some more. Come on let's have it out. Have your say, 'cause with a love this strong, baby it's okay for you to be that way. Be that way. Oh, yeah."
