Rita smiled as she looked at herself in her full-length mirror for the first time wearing her wedding dress. It had been four months since Logan had asked her to marry him; they had thought that it would be best to get married on Rita's 18th birthday. In fact Rita had never even tried on her wedding dress before and today was her wedding day, she figured that no matter how it looked on her Logan would like it, after getting over the shock of how good she looked in her dress she turned around and marked yesterday's date off the calendar. May 8th, Rita's birthday.
Rita knew she should be happy, after getting over the fact that she in deed did look good in her dress but she just couldn't get her mind off the man that had hurt her so many months back, she even had the courage to tell Logan all about it. He had promised her the world if she would only be his, the way Logan had done so many times. Does he really love me for me? Or is it just for my body? Maybe he just feels guilty about me being pregnant. It had been five months since she had first come to live with the X-Men and she finally realized just how much she missed the parents she ran away from. She was so tired of hurting people around her that she didn't even notice what she did with Logan her second day there. Rita just needed to feel like someone could actually love her so she did whatever anyone wanted her to do. But, maybe it was a good thing, giving into Logan because now she found real, true love, and not the stuff she had all her life.
"You know, you really should be happy cher. Regard à tu, ton beau, magnifique, un vrai ange si je jamais adage un moi-même." Rita smiled as she heard the deep, Cajun voice behind her.
"Sorry Rem, I don't know if what you say is true, I mean I always thought that my parents would be around to see me get married, and have kids, and just have my own life. But their not here, they haven't been here since I was 3. How does that make me an angel? It can't I'm just some little girl who will never be an angel, just go to hell like my name says." Rita said, choking back tears as Remy walked up behind her and put his arms around her waist and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
The way Rita had become close with Pietro; she had become even closer with Remy over the past few months. Remy was like her big brother Dean, always around whenever she needed him, and always around to listen as she was for him. Logan didn't really like the fact that Rita was getting so close to many guys but he let it go, knowing that if he said something about it then she would get mad and they would have another fight like the fight that they had right after Christmas.
Rita could tell that by the look in Remy's eyes he wasn't lying and really thought she was a true angel. Smiling again Rita turned around for Remy to see what she looked like in her wedding gown. Jean had helped to pick the dress out with Rita, knowing that it would drive Logan insane. It was a long black dress that had slits going up to her thighs, the dress was also strapless, the only thing that was wrong with the dress was that because they had decided to wait to get married the dress showed the fact that over the past four months Rita had put on some weight, and gotten a bit of a big stomach.
Like the dance Rita had gone to with Pietro, she had beautiful silver hair that was hanging down on her shoulders. Everyone had loved the fact that Rita's natural hair color was silver, except for Scott; the hair reminded him of Pietro which was one of his biggest enemies. The funny thing about the wedding was that Logan refused to get dressed up, so when Rita would be in a dress he would be wearing his usual denim jeans, black shirt, and flannel over shirt…or so Rita thought.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
When it was time for the wedding start, Rogue sat at the piano and played it, she used to play piano a lot when she was a kid and was finally remembering how to play again. When Rita walked outside and onto the red carpet that was laid out she almost laughed to see Logan in denim jeans, with his belt, and a tight, black velvet shirt that showed all his muscles, which all the girls were drooling over.
Rita also noticed that the second Logan got a good look at her; the denim on his jeans became very taut around his groin. Jubilee, another girl at the institute,
Saw what Rita had just seen and was now drooling even more with her mouth wide open. As Rita walked down the aisle of chairs she could hear the whispers about Logan from the girls, talking about how he looked in his old, worn out jeans and black shirt.
Eventually Rita and Logan got through the wedding, Rita was sitting on one of the chairs, while the girls were talking, and the guys were eating, looking at her new rings. It took her four months to notice that both rings were not platinum; they were adimentium, the same metal that was put into Logan's body.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Finally the day was over and Rita and Logan could be alone for the first time that day. Logan had of course taken Rita to their room the first chance he got, which didn't come until 8 hours after the wedding. Rita smiled as Logan backed her into their room, kicking the door closed behind them, and backing her into the wall, deeply kissing her. "Ooh, I liked that one babe." Rita said as she put two fingers between his stomach and belt buckle, giving it a tug.
"Then you'll like this." Logan told her, kissing her some more.
"Maybe." Rita teased, giving his buckle another little tug.
"Tug that buckle again darlin' and you'll get a 'Logan lesson' you never thought you'd learn."
"Maybe that's what I want." Rita teased again as she took Logan's belt off and undid the button on his jeans, sliding the zipper down and releasing his growing erection from the tight denim. Slowly Logan stepped out of his jeans and kicked them aside. Rita always liked the fact that he never wore boxers or anything else, just that one day because he wanted as many clothes as he could wear to play strip poker and not lose.
Slowly Rita moved her hands under Logan's shirt, taking it off as her hands rose from his stomach to his cheats, and then taking it off, over his head and throwing it in the pile of his jeans. "Now this isn't fair, you get all the looks, what do I get?" Logan asked.
"This." Rita said as she ran her fingers through his hair and kissed him just as deeply as he kissed her and ran her other hand along his tight stomach and down and across his erection. "I love how tight your muscles always are."
"Then you'll love this." Logan kissed her and tightened his muscles, his erection jumping slightly under her touch.
Finally they broke away from the wall and each other long enough for Logan to back Rita into the bed and lay her down, kissing down her neck until he got to the soft black fabric of her dress. "This has to go." Logan said tugging on her dress as he 'helped' her get out of her dress, finding nothing under it. As Logan began to kiss down her neck again he heard footsteps coming down the hall, but didn't have enough time to get up and lock the door before Scott walked in.
"Ever heard of knocking?" Logan yelled as Scott, who was staring at what he just walked in on.
"You god dam bastard, you don't even care that she's pregnant do you? You'll just take whatever you want from her, whatever you need to stay satisfied for a few days, and then you leave and go find another girl." Scott yelled back.
"If that's how I am then why haven't I packed and left yet?" Logan shouted as Rita sat up and pressed herself against Logan's back, whispering something in his ear that Scott couldn't hear, but Scott watched as Logan turned a deep shade of red in his face, from his neck to his ears. Rita giggled to herself when she watched Logan blush, all she said was 'Scott probably wishes he had a body as sexy as yours to give Jean something she might like, I know I like the feel of your body.' Rita meant to make Logan blush, but knew she'd have hell to pay once Scott left the room and they were alone again.
Scott finally left the room, right before the other X-Men could get to the third floor and see what all the yelling was about. Logan got up and locked the door, then went back and got back on the bed looking at Rita with a stern face. "You know your going to have to pay girl."
"About what?" Rita asked innocently, giving Logan a very innocent face as if she never did anything wrong in her life.
"Think hard, and you might just remember why I'm not so happy right now." Logan said, giving her a hard stare.
"Is it because I made you blush in front of Scott?" Rita asked innocently.
"Bingo." Logan said as he slowly lowered his body on hers, making sure not to put his weight on her, he may be in good health but he also had a ton of metal running through his body. After sharing a few more passionate kisses Logan lay next to Rita, arms wrapped around her body.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Rita smiled; she could fell Logan's hot breath against her neck, and could feel his chest rise and fall as he just lay next to her. She knew he was deep in thought, but couldn't tell what he was thinking. His dark brown eyes were so clouded today that she had no idea what he was thinking about all day. The feel of his warm body against her was so wonderful that she never wanted to sleep again, just stay in his arms forever.
Logan's mouth came in contact with her neck again, then up to her ear and his tongue lingered behind that sensitive part of her ear. Rita could feel Logan's tongue flick over her sensitive skin, he figured out a few months ago that the spot behind her ear was the most sensitive part on her body. After a few minutes Logan's mouth hovered over her ear and he told her he loved her in that low, husky voice of his.
Soon Rita was fast asleep in Logan's arms. The blinds on the window had been partially open and the two lay in Logan's bed, under silk sheets, bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight, from the full moon outside. Logan nuzzled his head into her neck and fell asleep himself, with the memories of the wonderful day in his mind.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Rita opened her eyes as the first rays on sunlight came into the room and wake her up. Rita could feel Logan's head nuzzled into her neck, and felt him wake up as she moved her head. "Hey darlin'." Logan said as he looked at the girl, who had matured into a woman overnight, in his arms.
"Guess I cant call you a 'kid' anymore, since your obviously not one anymore." Logan said as he kissed Rita's neck. Logan slowly smiled to himself, glad that he finally found a way to mark Rita as his forever. At the wedding all the other guys looked at her, and while they were eating Logan went from boy to boy telling them how Rita is his girl, and that's she's hands off to any other guy who even thinks about being with her.
Over the past few months a few new recruits had come to Xavier's School for the Gifted,
Had listened to Professor X's speech about how mutants will one day live in peace with humans. Well he even decided to make it a part of his speech to mention to all the boys that Rita was Logan's girl and anyone who looked at her would soon be under his claws.
Soon after Rita and Logan had woken up Logan could hear the familiar 'click' of the lock on his door and watched as his door swung open and Scott stood there, Jean next to him.
"Why don't you just leave us alone Scott? Its bad enough you come in without asking, but now you have to get your girlfriend to unlock my door, which by the way is really pissing me off Jean. So unless you both want to be on the end on my claws, get out." Logan glared at them as they turned around and closed the door. "Leave the door the way you found it Jean" Logan called after Jean, he then heard the 'click' of the lock sliding back into place.
Rita yawned and got out of bed, against Logan's wishes and got dressed, after the incident at school a few months back Rita was no longer allowed at school by a new rule from Principal Kelly. She was now being taught at the mansion by Ororo, Charles, Logan, and Hank, another teacher at the school. Hank used to be the science teacher at Bayville High, but once he could no longer control his mutation he had to quit his job and the only place that accepted him was the institute.
Also over the past few months Logan had taken a job as the Self Defense teacher, Scott used to teach the children self defense on the weekends when he has no classes or homework to worry about so Logan took over to be a full time teacher for Scott. But mainly just because he got to kick people's asses, while showing the children how to defend themselves without having to use their powers in case something went wrong one day.
The students were required to take at least one full summer of self defense after school let out. The boys loved to watch people get hurt and the girls loved to watch Logan fight because he always took his shirt off before fighting, they got to see all his well-toned muscles, which no girl ever got tired of.
But that day Rita didn't have self defense, she had chemistry with Hank, social studies and language arts with Ororo, and algebra 3 with the Professor. Rita finished getting dressed and brushed her hair as Logan pulled on a pair of jeans. The two walked down to breakfast together, Rita got some cereal and Logan just got a cup of black coffee for breakfast. She said her 'goodbyes' to all her friends and watched them to go school. She then prepared for another long day at school, like always, except that these classes were even more boring because she was the only one in the classes and she couldn't sleep behind her books anymore. Those days were gone forever.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Rita left storm's classroom and walked into the cafeteria, she was meeting Logan for lunch that day, the way she did every day after social studies. A smiled appeared on Logan's face when he saw her, since this wasn't really school she could wear whatever she wanted, so she choose to wear her black mini skirt and tube top. Logan's smile widened when Rita sat down in front of him.
"Not even three classes and you've been sent home." Logan said, giving her a hard time from the earlier time that she wore these clothes to learn in.
"Not true, I was let out on good behavior, and was allowed to come home to eat actual food." Rita told Logan, playing along with his little game.
"Well in that case you won't be good for very long, well not when I'm done with you at least." Logan stood up and slid into the seat next to Rita and ran a hand along her leg, then back up to her thigh.
"Are you trying to seduce me Logan?" Rita asked with a hint of teasing in her voice.
"Maybe, I wouldn't mind the feeling though." Logan teased back as Rita hit him on the shoulder and told him he's terrible.
Rita sighed heavily when she felt Hank tap her on her shoulder and tell her she's late for chemistry…again. Rita kissed Logan on the cheek and followed Hank, or Mr. McCoy during class, to the chemistry lab. Since Rita no longer went to school the teachers extended the length of regular periods to a full hour.
Rita sat bored during class as she mixed deadly chemicals together. Rita always wondered what Mr. McCoy would do if Rita mixed the wrong chemicals and made them explode, the way people did on T.V. Rita finally decided to just do her work and get an A, instead of messing up the classroom, knowing all too well that she would be the one cleaning it up.
After mixing a few chemicals Rita touched her finger to beaker and heated it to a boiling temperature, before adding some acid to it. When she completed all her work Hank let her leave class early, having nothing for her to do.
She checked her watch, 15 minutes before algebra with the Professor. Rita sat outside the mansion, and leaned against one of the many tree in the woods that was on the mansion's front yard. Pulling out her math book Rita finished up the few math problems that she forgot to do last night, since she was obviously busy with something else at the time.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
It seemed like class would never end for Rita, she sat watching the clock until she was certain time must have stopped, and left her trapped in class forever. Class finally ended and Rita said her goodbye to the Prof., then walked outside and onto the basketball court, picking up the ball that the guys had left there the other day. Rita started to shoot some baskets; she had promised Bobby that she would play him basketball when he got home from school.
She played for about an hour, missing only about 2 shots, until she heard most of the kids come home. Not even a minute later Bobby came gliding in on ice and stopped in front of her. "Ready to lose girl?" Bobby teased.
"Well someone has to lose and trust me it won't be me. I've been out her for an hour and only missed 2 shots." Rita teased back as Bobby stole the ball from her hands and made it in the basket.
"That would be one for me." Bobby said as Rita protested open-mouthed about the cheap shot he had just taken.
"That's not fair; I didn't even know we were playing right this second. That shot shouldn't count!" Rita continued to protest as Bobby ran the length of the court and shot for another point, seeing what he was doing Rita flew into the air and grabbed the ball, flying to the other side of the court and sinking it into the basket with ease.
"No powers! We never agreed to powers." Bobby argued as Rita just stood in mid-air and laughed.
"Well we never agreed to what time the game started, but you started it anyway. Like I told Logan, alls fair in love and war and this is defiantly war." Rita continued to laugh as she was about to sink another shot, when the ball hit a wall of ice and fell to the ground by Bobby's feet.
Bobby picked the ball up and glided on ice to the basket when Rita flew by and grabbed the ball from him again. "If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch." Rita teased as she heard the wonderful swoosh of the ball hitting only net, and giving her yet another point.
This went on for a while until Rita finally won, and most of the back yard was frozen by Bobby's miss-shots. Just then Hank came outside and saw the frozen terrain that was once a beautiful backyard. "Bobby! Rita! Fix this mess." Hank yelled at Bobby, then walked back inside.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
After 2 hours of working together to get the backyard back into its original state before they got to it, Bobby and Rita walked into the dinning room and joined the rest of the X-Men to dinner. "I see you two have finished cleaning up the backyard, it's so nice to have you two join us for dinner." Charles said as Bobby sat next to Rogue and Kitty, and Rita sat next to Logan and Scott.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
By the time Rita's body hit the bed she was so tired that her whole body ached with pain. When Logan walked into their room a few minutes later he just looked at Rita, who now lay limp on the bed, eyes closed but not sleeping, just resting. Logan smiled to himself as he looked over her body; her hair was spread out all over the pillow under her head. His eyes traveled down to her neck, it was always so perfect, then to her breasts, which rose and fell as she breathed. He smiled, and his eyes lingered on her breasts for a while, he had seen the other girls who were 17 and 18, but none of them seemed to be as well shaped as Rita. After a few minutes his eyes traveled down to her stomach, the stomach that held his child. His eyes then moved toward her legs but stopped at the wonderful soft skin right under her stomach, the skin that he knew was made to satisfy him, and him alone. Finally his eyes went down to her legs, long, beautifully shaped legs.
"Hello Logan." Rita said, snapping him out of his daydream about him lying on his bed with Rita's body under him.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Rita looked at Logan's face when he was looking at her, she couldn't quite tell what he was thinking though. She looked hard at his face, then let her eyes travel down his body and stopped at tightly stretched denim across his groin, the way it always looks when he sees something he wants. She knew he wanted her, he always did, the problem was that there was always a girl he wanted, and when he got tired of her or where he was living he would run.
He always ran, mainly when he got scared. He couldn't stay in the same place too long, couldn't be with the same woman too long, if he did he knew he would fall in love. Rita had read his mind one day, she really wanted to know what was going on in his head, but he wouldn't let her. So she had to do it when he was asleep one day. Logan was always so afraid that if he got too close to any one person she would find out about his mutation and think he was a freak, leaving him heartbroken. True Logan had a healing factor, but that never could heal the pain inside of his body, just the pain on the outside.
Every second she saw Logan with dark, clouded eyes she knew he was deep in thought. She was always left feeling so sorry for him, knowing that his life had to be hell. Going from place to place, spending his time in bars, and when the demons from his nightmares, the demons from his past would haunt him, he always found some girl for a one night stand. As long as he could be satisfied for at least a night he was glad, one more night without nightmares.
Rita sighed, she loved Logan more then anything, but also knew that she could never change him. That maybe one day he would tire of her and pack his bags and leave, looking for his past, for a future, or for just another woman that he could use for the night.
