Disclaimer: I do not own, nor am I making any money from, the X-Men movie-
verse. Duncan and Hana belong to Corrinth, as does Ilehana Xavier should
she be mentioned. Star owns Golan, should he be mentioned too. All other
OCs belong to me, especially Blaze and Jessie.
A/N:
Ok, last little bit now. Don't think I'll be writing any more X-Men the Movie fics at least for a while; I've taken Blaze as far into the future and developed her as much as I can in this world really. Sniff. Sorry, getting all emotional......... I guess that's what happens when you've had a character running round in your head for years and years, even back to when she was an original cartoon character and I didn't even know places like fanfiction existed......... Those were the days eh Ami? Blue spandex-yuk!
Okay that's enough scary reminiscing. What next? Well there's always the possibility of more X-Men Evolution stories for Blaze and Ilehana, if any one is interested? And here's to hoping Gambit will make his film debut sometime soon. Whatever happens, take care; enjoy this last chapter and thank you all so much for the reviews, emails, proof reading and fantastic support; I adore you all.

Epilogue
Three years later.........
"So what a pretty thing like you doin' workin' in a dump like dis?" The tall, dark haired man crooned at the blonde shop assistant as she scanned through his purchases. She didn't think she'd ever seen so many packs of cards in one basket. But before she could reply to his sweet talk, a girl in her early teens appeared at his elbow, pouting.
"Dad........." She moaned. "Won't you ever grow up?"
"Single parent?" The shop girl quipped, batting her eyelashes and realising that the few grey hairs on his head were probably the teenager's fault.
"He wishes." The stunning redheaded woman's eyes were sparkling, her lips smiling as he kissed her.
"No I don't." Remy confirmed as Jessica rolled her eyes at her parent's public display if affection. Laura laughed, before passing her precious load on to him.
"Here you go, husband dearest. Your son needs changing again and it's definitely your turn." The child she gave him squirmed as Remy picked him up and sniffed frowning at his diaper.
"Eugh! Sean my boy, whatcha bin eatin'!" Baby Sean le Beau cooed and gurgled his reply as Gambit settled the child against his arm.
"Maybe that's his mutant power?" Jessie quipped as the family made their way to the shop exit.
"Don't be so crude Jessica." Blaze admonished her daughter, but her eyes were amused.
"I think this is a job best done by big sis." Gambit offered, holding the baby out to the comically disgusted Raven.
"No way, Hosé!" Jessica threw up her hands. "I did it the time before last! No offence, Titch, but you really do stink! And besides Dad, you owe me for walking Scruffy when it was your turn yesterday. Scott only let me keep him at the school because you said you'd help me look after him." Baby Sean gurgled again in his Dad's arms as his older sister turned to their mother "Mom........." She pleaded. "Shoe sale........."
"Alright, alright." Laura acknowledged, letting Jessica drag her away by the wrist in the direction of the sale. Blaze's brown eyes met Gambit's red- on-black ones over the heads of their children and something powerful but unspoken passed between them. They'd always had trust; this was something much more than that. A knowledge, a completeness.........simple family. Acceptance and love without degree, without rules. The shop assistant stared, and wondered briefly if she'd ever seen a family that so obviously belonged together.........
**"Gam......... Remy, Laura, I hope that, after all this, you will both realise where it is you truly belong."**
**The End**
