**********************

Scott sat solemnly in the infirmary, his eyes threatening to close from sheer exhaustion. He valiantly put his pen to another sheet of paper, trying in vain to concentrate on the Basic Principals of Newton's Law. Just grade one more test Scott, he thought to himself as the world around him spun out into oblivion, just one more test. .
An angry roar roused Scott from his trance as a wild-eyed Logan bounded into the room, clutching Rogue in his outstretched arms.

"Scott!" Logan yelled frenetically, setting Rouge on her feet and using his free arm to prod Scott in the back, "Lazy ass! Wake up! Rogue's in labor!"

"Jesus ." Scott swore fervidly, springing out of his chair, "It's midnight! And, she's a month and a half early!"

"Yep .." Rogue said sardonically, leaning on Logan for support, "I think we have established that it's late, and I'm early, so, can I get some help here?"

"Right, right," Scott said, blushing a little, "Well, get her up on the table Logan, and, I guess, I'll call the professor."

"Is Storm back?" Logan said, placing Rogue gently onto a free examining table, "She has been gone for four months!"

"Storm's in Boston, with Kurt," Scott said, grabbing some latex gloves from a nearby box, "She's still on that mission."

"Shit!" Logan yelled, slamming his fist down on the table, "Shit, shit, shit!"

"Logan!" Marie reprimanded from the table, "You can't wake the other students!"

"Sorry," Logan said, softer this time but with no less fury.

"Damnit!" Scott cried from the other end of the room, "The professor isn't answering!"

"Oh no ..." Logan said, realization dawning on his face, "You and I are not going to have to deliver this baby our selves are we?!"

Scott's face was pale as he nodded, "I don't think we have a choice."

"Uh huh! No way!" Rogue said loudly from her perch on the examining table, "I'll just deliver this baby myself if I have to! Thanks, you guys can leave n-"

Rogue was cut off suddenly as her face contorted with a fresh wave of pain.

"Contraction?" Logan asked questioningly, looking hopelessly at Scott.

"Umm, I think so ." Scott said, running over to Rogue's side, "Honestly, I haven't even done this before."

"WHAT!!!" yelled a red faced Rogue, her voice choppy and halting "SO- NEITHER-OF-YOU-KNOWS-WHAT-TO-DO!!"

"Well, I've read about birth of course ." Scott said, trying to be reassuring, "I'm sure everything will be fine."

"LIAR!" Marie yelled angrily at Scott, her knuckles white as she gripped the edge of the examining table.

"Marie," Logan said gruffly, walking over to the table and grabbing her shoulder, "We'll do our best here, we won't let anything go wrong."

Marie's face relaxed as the contraction ended, and she slumped tiredly against Logan's stomach.

"Ok Marie," Scott said, trying to be positive, "Just relax, were gonna make this work."

*************************************************

Four hours later Marie sat wilted on the examining table, a blanket over her outstretched legs. Sweat made her face shinny and her hands were still clutching ardently onto Logan's gloved, larger ones.

"Is something wrong?" She asked Scott wearily, as he ran back over to the large heart rate monitor set up beside her.

"The babies just premature," Scott said, scanning the feed through his ruby glasses, "Your heartrate is way up though, it's worrying me."

"Why doesn't she just push on the next contraction then!?" Logan said, the frustration evident in his voice, "Her heart rate has been going up this entire time, why don't we just get it over with so she doesn't get hurt!"

"Because, if we do that .." Scott trailed off, and hid his face in his hands, "I have no idea what will happen! She's dilated enough, I think, but I don't want her to strain herself."

"You think?" Marie asked, "You think that's what will happen!? I need to know for sure Scott, this is scary enough as it is!"

Marie stopped suddenly as her face contorted with pain once more.

"THAT'S IT!" she yelled, "I'm pushing now!"

********************************************

"Just one last push Rogue!" Scott said encouragingly, 10 minutes later, "Come on! I can see the head!"

Rogue braced herself up against Logan's strong hands and began to push again, her face twisted with effort.

"Come on Marie.." Logan whispered into her ear, his strong hands grasping her shoulders tightly, "Just one last push!"

"I got it!" Scott said as Marie finally relaxed, "Just let me cut the cord."

The plaintive cry of a wailing baby sounded in the dark infirmary. Marie's f ace broke open into a heavenly smile as Scott carried the newborn over to her, wrapped delicately in a yellow blanket.

"Hi ." Marie said, tears filling her eyes and she reached down to stroke the babies small chin, "I'm your mom."

"It's a girl," Scott said happily, as he crouched down by the table to gaze at the baby.

"She's, she's very small," Logan said gruffly, sliding on the exam table next to Marie and letting her lean tiredly up against him.

"Of course she's small Logan," Marie said, holding her baby tightly to her, "She's so fragile."

"What are you going to call her?" Scott asked, seemingly entranced by the babies small little hands.

"I don't know," Marie said, looking up at Logan, "What should I call her?"

Logan slowly wrapped his arm around Marie and tickled the baby's tiny toes.

"Love," He said after a moment, his voice becoming hoarse and strained, "Call her Love."

Marie sighed contentedly and snuggled back against Logan, "Love it is," she intoned tearily.

"Logan?" Scott asked after a while, looking up at him with surprise in his eyes, "Are you .. crying?

Logan furiously wiped his face with the back of his hand.

"I wasn't crying about nothing bub," Logan growled, his eyes still slightly red rimmed, "I'm just happy about Love here, that's all."

Scott smiled and forced back a laugh, "Ok Logan," He said patronizingly, "Sure you weren't .."
