Run In

Much to her husband's dismay Ami had decided to do some shopping. At six months pregnant she still felt it was perfectly okay for her to roam the mall unaccompanied, and this bothered Kurt greatly. In a discriminating society Ami had been branded a mutant lover, and for that reason he feared for the safety of both her and the baby. Still, Ami wasn't one to be bossed around, and Kurt couldn't stop her.

She'd been out for nearly an hour when she decided it was time to head home. After paying for the last of her purchases, Ami headed towards the parking lot. She was almost out the door when she heard a familiar voice.

"Ami? Is that you?"

Suppressing a groan, Ami turned to face Jon, the ex-boyfriend she had at one point had a restraining order against. "Hi," she said flatly. Then she noticed the girl at his side. "Nicole?"

The girl looked back through a bruised and puffy eye. "Oh. Hi."

"Wow Ami, I never thought I'd see you knocked up," Jon laughed. "So who's the guy?"

"You did get rid of that freak boyfriend of yours, right?" Nicole asked snidely.

"That freak's name is Kurt, and as a matter of fact I married him."

Two jaws nearly hit the floor.

"So you're having his freak baby?" Nicole blurted out.

It took all Ami had in order for her to control her anger. "What about you?" She asked. "I never thought I'd see you two together. Lovely eye makeup you have there Nicole. I see Jon's drinking again."

"That's none of your damn business!" Jon yelled, stepping towards Ami menacingly.

"Hey!" A more welcomed voice said from behind Ami. "You mind telling me what you're doing to my friend here?" Logan stepped between Ami and Jon, glaring at the taller man. He leaned a little closer. "I don't think you wanna find out what my mutant power is."

Jon stepped back, trying to act like he wasn't about to wet himself. Even at his short statue Logan was very intimidating.

"C'mon Nicole, let's leave these freaks," he said, dragging her along with him.

"What would you do without me?" Logan asked, turning towards Ami.

She smiled. "Did Kurt have you follow me?"

"Nah, I did it myself. I can't let you go off and have all the fun can I?"

Ami laughed, secretly very thankful that Logan had been there.

"So that was the bitch that tried to ruin your life?"

"Yeah, but it's funny 'cause she really just made it better."

Logan snorted. "Looks like she's getting what she deserves then. C'mon, I'll buy you some ice cream before we head back."

"Free ice cream from my handsome body guard? How could I say no!"
