Rogue laid on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. She could hear Remy's soft breathing from across the room meaning he was asleep. It had been a weird day since she got back to the institute. Remy was acting strange; he was being extremely quiet, Logan had looked annoyed when she announced the 'news' and sent glares at the Cajun since then, Ororo was just surprised by it all, and the Professor accepted it.
"I can't wait to see what powers the kid will inherit." He had said with a smile on his face. Logan had just grunted and everyone looked at him.
"I can't wait to see what the kid will look like." He had looked Remy straight in the eyes when he said that.
Rogue stepped out of bed then slowly walked towards the bathroom. She was careful not to wake Remy up. She walked into the bathroom and stared at herself in the full-length mirror. She lifted up her shirt and stared at the reflected of her flat stomach. Rogue had never expected to get pregnant but Gambit's power prevented her from absorbing his life force, memories and powers.
"Chére not sleepy?" Remy asked wrapping his bare arms around her exposed stomach. He felt her shiver under his touch; He pulled her closer to him.
"Ah don't know, Rem." She said leaning her head back. "It's jus' so weird bein' back here. This place used ta give meh the creeps. 'Specially at night."
"Don' worry, Roguey. Remy is here." Together they walked back into their shared room. He returned to his lonely bed but Rogue just stood in the middle of the room.
"Ah'm not used ta sleepin' alone." She gave him a small pout that made him smile. He scooted over on the small bed then tapped on it.
"Y' waitin' fo' an written invitation?" He joked. She got in bed next to him and rested her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her. They both fell asleep like that.

"Rahne, Give me back my
notebook before I make you a hotdog!" Roberto yelled chasing the mutant down
the hallway. "You get drool on that and I'm-"
Kitty phased out
of the wall, then right through Wolfsbane and right through the next wall. She
had been reading a book and hadn't even noticed.
Wolfsbane transformed back into her human body then handed the notebook back to Roberto. "I hate it when she does that."
Amara and Bobby walked down the hall talking about something.
"Don't you guys have a training session?" Jubilee asked, entering the hallway. Her dark hair was tied up in a ponytail. They both shrugged.
You're going to be late for your training session, Magna, Iceman. Jean said to them as she walked down the hall all geared up.
"Man, She's been cranky ever since Scott decided to spend a year in Hawaii with his brother." Amara snapped after the red head disappeared down the hallway.
Bobby looked at his watch. "Not only that but she's right."

"Where are you going?" Ororo stopped Rogue as she walked by her geared up in her uniform.
"Ah heard there was a trainin' session." She said sliding her gloves on. Ororo gave her a surprised look and shook her head.
"You know Logan nor Professor would allow that." The weather witched gestured towards Rogue's stomach. "You could get hurt. Why don't you help me in the green room*?"
Rogue couldn't argue. It wasn't like there was anything else to do. In the green room, she helped Ororo place growing plants into bigger pots.
"How many months along are you?"
Rogue shrugged her shoulders. She wasn't exactly comfortable talking about this. "One.. or two months, Ah guess." She muttered looking down at the soil. "It, uh, actually took meh a few weeks ta tell Rem. Then a few days aftah Ah told him he suggested that we come back here an' that it will probably be safer."
"You really love him, don't you?" Ororo smiled at her then set her dirt-covered hand over Rogue's dirt covered hand. "You will be safe here, Rogue. That I promise-"
She was cut off when the alarms went off. "Go figure."
***
A dark figure leaped over the gates, automatically setting off the alarm system. The front door busted open. Logan and the mutants, who were in the danger room had stepped out.
They ran down the steps and stopped when they saw the 'culprit.'
"What do you want, bub?" Wolverine asked Pyro who stood there with a surprised look on his face but it soon vanished and he smiled.
"I'm here to join the team, Mate." Amara stared longingly at Pyro. Bobby noticed immediately and scowled. Everyone else was silent; they didn't know if he was serious or not.
"Long time non see, mon ami." Gambit said taking a step forward. "Y' still workin' fo' Mags?" Pyro looked at him insulted.
"'Course not." He said. "The Acolytes kind of dissolved after a while."
"Right." Wolverine said not believing a word of it.
He's telling the truth, Logan. Let him in. I'll talk to him. Logan hated when Xavier talked to him from inside his head. Especially when he asked him to do something he really didn't want to do.

"What was that all 'bout?" Rogue
asked walking down the hallway towards Storm. Her hands were on her hips. Clean
hands meaning she had washed them and didn't plan on doing any more things in
the green room.
"Nothing to worry about. It was just Pyro wanting to join the team. I'm going to go get changed." Rogue nodded then walked down to the Professor's office where everyone stood awaiting for the news.
"Pyro?" Kitty asked looking at Amara surprised. "Wow, We haven't, like, heard from Magneto or anyone with him in years."
"I hope he does join the team." Amara said sighing. Bobby sent her a surprised look. "What? He does have a cool power. Imagine what we could do together."
"'What you could do together'!?" Bobby shouted. Everyone looked at him. "I mean.. yeah.. right.. Whatever."
Rogue smiled at Kitty. She had barely been there for twenty-four hours and she could already tell Bobby has a crush on Amara.
The doors then slowly opened and Pyro stepped out. "Meet your new team mate, mates!"
"Welcome." Amara took a step forward. "My name is Amara. I'm glad you're on the team." Glad, Amara? Try thrilled!
***
Dinner was as busy as a buffet. The mutants came, they left, they ate..
"Rogue, Are you sure that's enough for.. you know.. two?" Kitty asked eyeing Rogue's plate which wasn't filled with much food.
Jean sat down at the table. Scott and I were planning on have kids soon.
"Don't make meh knock ya out, Kit." The southern warned sitting down next to Gambit at the table. Bobby eyed Rogue's plate.
"I don't think she should be carrying around such heavy plates." He commented. He had been in a cranky mood the past few hours.
"Watch it, befo' I
defrost ya." Rogue pointed her sharp fork at him.
"This isn't well
done!" Pyro lifted his steak up in the air. He glanced over at Amara who was
eating slowly and carefully. "Say, Amara.."
"No powers at dinner, St. John." The Professor warned.
Rogue looked at Gambit. Once again he had grown silent. This usually wasn't like him.
What's wrong with him?

~ T.B.C.
I'm really stuck on this fic that's why this chapter is short and doesn't really have anything going on. Feel free to give me suggestions. If you want something to happen just tell me. If you want another couple (other than Romy..) tell me in a review.
Ima Super Mute Ant Sorry about the typo's. I don't read anything after I write it even through I really should. I wrote the first chapter at around 8 A.M. after getting no sleep.
keebler-elmo I forgot some parts in the last chapter, but I hope I cleared why.
Ishandahalf Do I need to explain anything else? It's sad on how serious I am about this.. lol. I don't even know what I'm writing.
And thanks to everyone else who reviewed! :)
