Before anyone knew it, the big day was already there. The last couple of days were hectic. Last minute wedding adjustments were made. The tables and chairs had to be set up. So many little things had to be done; it was enough to drive a person insane.

Rogue swayed nervously in her "dressing room." This was it. She was about to get married. She was about to spend the rest of her life with the most wonderful man, but she couldn't help but feel terrified. She'd been a prisoner of Magneto, she'd been raped, she'd been a teenage mother, but this was the thing that scared her the most.

Marriage.

She knew she was acting silly, but she was so nervous. She didn't even notice the door creak open.

Logan stepped into the room and just stared. There was Rogue, his Marie, dressed like a queen. Her hair was piled on top of her head in tight little curls accenting the white streaks. She wore makeup, but not enough to really tell. She wore just enough to bring out her features and to give her pail skin a little more color.

Her dress was a shimmering white. The middle of it looked like a silk corset. Her sleeves were of a loose lace that flaired out at the wrists. The skirt hung down, not poofing out like the "traditional" wedding dress would.

She was beautiful.

Rogue saw his reflection in the mirror and spun around, embarrassed to have been caught off guard. She looked down to the ground.

"Hello." She mumbled.

"Hello."

After a moment of silence, she asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Listen, I know that I don't necessarily agree with what has happened to you over the past two years, but I realize now that you were right. You are not the scared girl I found stowed away in the back of my trailer. You have grown up, and it's time for me to accept that.

"I realize now that I have let you down in the worst possible way. When you needed me the most, I wasn't there because you were afraid to ask for help. You and Bobby never went on a vacation. You were hiding from me. You went into labor right under my nose, and I wasn't there for you. In fact, I left.

"I never ever want you to be afraid to come to me. You are like a daughter to me. Pretty much the only family I have. I want you to know that I am always here for you, no matter what. You were right. You've done pretty damn well without me. You don't need me any more, but I need you."

Rogue sniffed, hopelessly trying to retain her tears. She ran up and hugged him.

"I will always need you, Logan."

She wiped her eyes and rushed to get a tissue.

"You made me smear my makeup. Thanks a lot."

Logan laughed. Just like old times.

"You can't even tell and you got some on my suit."

Rogue looked over and saw that there was a little tan smudge on his tux. She laughed.

"It's not funny. This thing is rented. I can't give it back like this. The dry cleaning will cast a fortune!"

This only made her laugh harder.

"What's so funny?"

"You are wearing a tuxedo!" she said.

"And just when I call you a grown up, you crack an immature joke like this."

"I'm sorry." She said readjusting her self.

She walked up to him and grabbed his hands.

"With all joking aside, I'd like to ask you something."

"Anything."

"Would you-will you give me away?"

Logan stood there stunned.

"I'd be honored to."

Jean knocked on the door.

"It's time, Rogue." She called.

Jean walked down the isle first along side Professor Xavier. Rogue stood there, arm in arm with Logan. She looked ahead and saw her children, standing obediently by Bobby's side. She looked in to her future husband's eyes.

Logan gave her arm a reassuring squeeze as they started to walk forward.

Everything in her life was finally working out. It was picture perfect.

She smiled.

Between Logan's squeeze, Bobby's smile of happiness, and little Logan and Will's look of absolute amazement as she walked down that aisle, she knew.

Everything was going to be all right.

She'll just have to take the good with the bad, and live one day at a time.
