Rogue sighed as she entered Bayville High's doors. The inevitable was about to occur: she was to become a mother.

'And here I thought I'd never even be a mother…' she thought.

All of the students were to report to the auditorium. The details, regarding the new curriculum was about to be announced during the first assembly of the year. Unfortunately for Rogue, that meant crowds and sitting beside unwanted company.

As she sat on one of the seats in the back row, a tall man stood beside her seat. " Is dis seat taken, chere?"

Rogue looked up at the man. " You!" she growled, as she saw the trench coat-clad man. He smirked at her and took off his sunglasses, taking a seat next to her. " What are ya doin' here?" she asked, her accent getting thicker as she got angrier.

" Well, ol' Magnus decided dat de Acolytes need t'participate in dis too," he said.

" Well Gambit," Rogue said, spitting out his name like it was bad couscous. (AN: personally don't know what it is… but I hear that expression every time in comedy movies! ^-^) " Ah hope ya don' blow up th' kid lahke ya almost killed meh!"

"tsk, tsk, Chere, dat be business," he replied. " An' de names' Remy. Remy LeBeau."

Rogue rolled her eyes and crossed her arms in front of her chest. " Great, not only do Ah Have ta participate in early parentin' I get stuck sittin' with a 007 wannabe."

"-Now, you each get $30,000 each month, however on the first month, you shall receive $300,000 to pay for necessary furniture and baby things you might need. We shall hand out your keys to your apartments and the name of your 'pretend' spouse." Kelly explained, droning on about the parenting class. " An inspector will come by every day to see what you have done and what you have not done. If any of the inspectors feel that you might cause the child some harm, they will take the baby and you and your 'spouse' will fail this course, and have to repeat it again as well as your grade twice."

Rogue groaned. 'Great. So if I accidentally touch the kid, not only to I have to go to jail, but I have to repeat my grade twice and fail my courses… just great.'

" Now, remember… cameras are set inside your apartment. You are being observed 24/7. If we see anything that is not according, we shall see to it that you are punished," Kelly continued.

Rogue sighed and sank deeper into her chair. Remy smirked and took the opportunity to pretend like he was yawning and placed his arm around Rogue's shoulders.

" If ya don't take ya arm off of me, I will detach it mahself," Rogue threatened, still sounding bored.

" But Chere, Remy's arm be tired… it likes it there," Remy said huskily. Rogue placed her hand on Remy's lap and smiled slyly. " Chere, Remy knew y'liked-"

" If ya don' remove ya arm on mah shouldah, mah hand will be acquainted with ya juniah (junior) an' y'all are gonna find yaself participatin' in an involuntary sex-change."

Remy paled as the mental image slammed into his brain. He quickly removed his arm and sat quietly beside the smiling Southern Belle.
