Diary of a Goddess
((Part III))
December 25, 2002
Goddess how I love Christmas! It's not just the gifts and presents, but it's all of us together as a…family. Yes, as a family. I awoke to Logan's beautiful face this morning, his hair all about his face, and that wolfish grin. He held me last night, and to me, that was more important than anything else in the entire world.
"Ororo! Ororo!" a voice screamed through the door.
Storm sat straight up and looked at Logan before both of them bouncing off the bed and rushing to the door. There was Marie, her hair in pigtails and still in pajamas.
"What is it child?"
"Oh mah Gawd! Ah'm sorry Ms. Munroe! Ah didn't mean ta intrude on anythin'," she said staring at a Logan who was looking very annoyed at the moment.
"You are doing no such thing…" Ororo began. She followed Marie's eyes and stifled a laugh. "Come now Logan. It is Christmas! We should be opening presents with everyone else anyway."
"Alright, alright. C'mon kid. Let's go and see what Santa decided to leave us…"
"He didn't leave nuttin but coal for ya Logan…" Marie whispered.
"What was that kid?!"
Logan chased Rogue all the way to the living room and didn't stop until Scott got mad and told Wolverine to sit and calm down. Marie stuck out her tongue and Ororo arrived in the family room only minutes later. She laughed and couldn't help but kiss Logan sweetly on his nose before going to sit next to the tree to pass out the presents that the children had waited for all year.
Seeing Logan growling like he really wanted to hurt Marie was the funniest sight I have ever seen since…well since a long time. Logan would be a good father. Only time will tell I suppose. Presents were passed out and everyone seemed happy except for Scott and Jean. They already had the best Christmas gift given to them.
"Excuse me!" Scott cleared his throat and everyone stopped to look at him. Wrapping paper covered the floor and all the kids where so engulfed in their toys and gifts, that Scott had to clear his throat more than once to get their complete attention.
"We have an announcement to make," Jean said tensely. Ororo, who was sitting next to her friend, took Jean's hand and held it tight, trying to offer any support that was needed.
"We're going to have a baby!" Scott finished and everyone roared with excitement. Everyone crowded around and congratulated the happy couple and wished them all the happiness in the world.
As soon as the room quieted down, Logan picked up his glass of eggnog and offered his blessing the only way he knew how. "Well Scooter, Red. I'm happy for you and I wish ya good luck."
Everyone toasted except for Ororo who couldn't tear her eyes away from Logan. She held her small glass in her delicate hands, gripping it tightly. He smiled at her, she blushed a crimson color, and she raised her glass to him and drank her eggnog.
Suddenly, her face went blank. "Where is Charles?" she asked Jean who had taken her seat next to Ororo.
"You know, now that you mention it, I haven't seen him since last night when he used Cerebro to try and figure out this crazy weather we're having," she replied.
As if on cue, Charles Xavier came through the doors and put his fingers tip to tip. "I am sorry to ruin your Christmas, my X-Men, but we have a problem. This weather is not natural, as you have figured Storm."
Ororo nodded in agreement. She knew right from the beginning.
"I'm afraid that an old friend, has met someone new. The X-Men are needed and it is becoming even more urgent with each second that we waste," Charles said. Everyone looked at him, including Remy.
"Well what's new?" Scott asked shrugging his shoulders.
"It's just another Christmas at the Xavier Mansion."
*~Disclaimers n Things:~*
Since I didn't do this in the beginning, I decided I should add a disclaimer at the end. Don't own anything here it all belongs to Marvel. Please don't sue me seeing that I have no money and nothing to offer anyways.
A/N: Just wanted to thank all those that reviewed thanks a lot and I know I haven't updated in God knows how long! It's been hectic with ff.net and all, but I think I'm back on track. I've added a chapter to all of my stories that haven't been updated in a while and I hope to finish them…someday…Tee hee! Whenever the inspiration strikes again.
