I DO NOT KNOWN ANY OF THE X-MEN OR ANYTHING RELATED TO THEM.
Chapter 16
After helping Sarah into bed Logan headed down to the medical bay. When he walked into the room he found Scott and Jean making out. After waiting a few seconds to see if they would notice him he cleared his throat and said, "You know you guys are never going to make any wedding plans like that."
"I thought you were going to leave us alone so we could make plans," Scott said annoyed at the interruption, "What do you want?"
"To talk to Jean." Logan said amused.
"What about?" Scott said still annoyed.
"You." Logan responded with no emotion in his voice.
"Logan..." Scott said.
"No," Logan said smiling, "actually, I wanted to talk about Steve. Where is he?"
"Oh no," Jean said and ran out of the room.
Scott started to laugh, "Jean used her powers to put him in the shower." Scott explained still laughing. "Looks like she forgot about him."
"He is still unconscious right?" Logan asked, a little worried, having Steve conscious was not a good thing.
"Yeah." Scott said starting to stop laughing
Logan shook his head. "What are you going to do with him?"
"Wipe his memory send him home. Why?"
"Just wondering. I don't want him near Sarah again."
"Yeah she might take off again." Scott said then yelled, "Jean you need help."
"No, I got it." Jean said walking back into the room carrying Steve's clothes, "I think we better burn these.
There is no way we'll be able to get the smell out."
"Were is he?" Logan asked.
"In the other room." Jean replied, "Don't worry the professor will be here first thing in the morning to erase his memory. Steve should be gone by the time Sarah wakes up."
"OK, I'll see you tomorrow." Logan said and turned to leave.
"Hey Logan why not throw these away on your way up to your room." Scott said taking the clothes from Jean and tossing them to Logan.
"Whatever." Logan said as he caught the clothes and turned again to leave. As he did the smell from the clothes filled his nostrils. An awful combination of unwashed body, beer, smoke, and cheap clone reeked from the clothes, and with it came the memories he had been trying to remember. He saw Sarah when they had first met, their wedding day, the look on her face when he first woke up with no memory of her, and very other day they had been together. All came flooding back to him. He gasped and grabbed the wall to try to steady himself.
"By the way Logan," Jean asked, "what did you want to see me about? Logan? Logan are you OK?"
"What's wrong?" Scott asked.
"It's nothing." he said taking a couple of deep breaths before continuing. "Earlier in the professor's office Steve said that he knew me, but Sarah cut him off before he said anything else. I remembered hearing how smells can sometimes bring back memories that people had forgotten. I wanted to see if it was true.
"And was it?" Jean asked.
"Oh yeah I remember everything about Sarah now.
"Why didn't you remember him earlier?" Scott asked.
"I don't know it doesn't matter. Here," he said handing Scott Steve's clothes. "You throw them away. I have to go talk to my wife."

Logan left the medical bay and headed to Sarah's room. He had to talk to her, but once inside her room he found he did not have the heart to wake her. So he sat down in a chair and watched her sleep. As he did he thought about what he had remembered and tried to fix the pieces into place. He found his own memories making more since and eventually fell asleep in the chair.
"Logan," Sarah said, "Logan."
Logan woke up with a start "What?"
"Logan what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in your own bed asleep? What time is it?"
Logan looked at the clock. "About 7 and I needed to talk to you."
"Then shouldn't you get ready for classes, talk to me later." Sarah said pulling the covers over her head.
"You never were a morning person."
"What?" Sarah said pulling the covers down and looking at him.
"I remember you?" Logan said getting up and then sitting on the side of her bed.
"What?" Sarah said again, sitting up, skeptical and hopeful at the same time.
"I remember you. We meet at a bar just outside Joy, Nebraska, right?"
"Yeah what else do you remember?"
"Let's see. You were 17 and working at the bar to support yourself and your cousin, and I was working odd jobs. I told you I knew you weren't 18 and you begged me not to tell anyone, that your cousin would get mad if you lost your job. I agreed said it wasn't any of my business how old you were. But then you started showing up with bruises all over you. Your arms, you legs. You tried to cover them or make up some story. Your boss and friends bought them but I didn't. I kept asked you what happened and way they disappeared so quickly, but you wouldn't tell. However I'd seen your cousin a couple of times and it didn't take much figuring out. We start talked a lot. And in February when your turned 18 for real we started going out, going on long drives and stuff. Then in April I asked you to marry me. You said yes but had two conditions. One you wanted to finish high school and two you wanted to leave that town and never come back. So a week after you graduated we got married and left for Canada. That about right."
Sarah threw her arms around him and hugged him. "Yeah, that's about right." she said with tears in her eyes. "So you remember everything?"
"Yeah I think so." Logan said, "So what do we do now?"
"I don't know." Sarah said, "I also don't know what to do about the brainwashing. You heard what the professor said anything could set me off."
"Don't worry about that." Logan said, "I'm not going to let you go any where."
"What about Steve?"
"The professor taking care of him." Logan said smiling. "Now you what to move you stuff into my room or you want to wait a while?"
"I want to sleep." Sarah said lying back down onto her bed. "Don't you have class or something?"
"Professor canceled class today, but if you want to sleep that's fine by me." Logan said pulling the covers off her and picking her up.
"Logan put me down!" Sarah squealed trying to get free.
"No," Logan said tightening his grip, "you said you wanted to sleep so I'm going to put you in my bed so you can sleep. Then I'll move your stuff in. That way you can sleep and your stuff will get move at the same time."
"Logan I'm warning you," Sarah said laughing now too, "let me go or else."
"Or else what?"
"Or else this." Sarah said and grabbed Logan's arm. Logan felt Sarah begin to lift up and him to. He quickly let go of her and Sarah released him letting him fall to the floor with a thud.
He looked up at Sarah who had straightened herself up but was still suspended in the air, "That was not nice." He growled.
"Next time let me sleep." Sarah said lowering herself to the ground.
"What's going on in here?" Scott bellowed entering the room. "Some of us are trying to sleep and we can't do that with a herd of elephants in here."
"We're planning your wedding." Logan said.
"You're what? Scott asked in disbelief.
"Yeah were figured you and Jean could use some help." Logan continued.
"You want roses or lilies?" Sarah asked playing along.
"Roses." Logan answered before Scott could say anything; "they'll match his shades."
"OK roses it is." Sarah said.
"Uh," Scott groaned, now there's two of them, "just kept it down OK." And left the room.
"We'll try." Sarah said closing the door behind him. When she turned back around Logan took her in his arms.
"How'd I forget you?" He asked.
"I don't know just try not to do it again, OK?"
"Deal." He said and kissed her.
The End.
