Early Parenting

Author's Note: Okay, from here on in, its Romy, comedy and few hints as to how the other couples are doing… I love looking into Scott and Jean's 'abode'

Scott: I'm a daddy!

^-^ ah, the life in the fast lane.

=================================================

The adults were shocked to see Remy and Rogue in the institute instead of their given apartments.

" What are you doing here Stripes?" Logan asked as he shifted Ororo from his lap. He felt slightly uncomfortable being so open about his relationship to a girl he considered his little sister.

Rogue sighed as she sat down, patting the seat next to her, motioning for Remy to sit there. " Well, we were out shopping for baby things… when Remy here decides to tell me he had gone and done that already."

Remy grinned and placed a free arm around Rogue's shoulders. " Remy had free time, Chere. Remy told y'dat."

Rogue shrugged his arm off of her as Logan growled at Remy. " Anyway, we read the envelopes given to us and they said we could visit and show our child to their 'grandparents'," she continued. " I figured since we had nothing else to do, we could show you little Mathieu."

Xavier's eyes shone with happiness, seeing Rogue open up to them. Not even Jean or Scott, his first students bothered to introduce the apple of their eyes.

" How wonderful, may I hold him?" Xavier asked. Remy nodded and gently placed the auburn-haired boy in Xavier's outstretched arms.

"Oh, how adorable!" Ororo commented. " Logan, I want one!"

She gently lifted Mathieu up and started to baby-talk. Remy chuckled and saw Rogue at the corner of his eyes. To anyone, it seemed like she was just smiling at watching the scene, but if you looked closer, you'd see her hands clenching her skirt, and her eyes seemed to dull with sadness.

" Don' y'worry none, Chere," Remy whispered in her ears. " Y'gonna get control."

Rogue looked at him, shocked at his insight, but smiled softly. " Thanks."

" If y'want, Chere… Remy could help," he offered. " Remy used t'blow t'ings up all de time back in N'Awlins when he be just a kid."

Rogue looked at him, interested in what he was about to tell her. For once, they weren't arguing and it felt good. They didn't know that they were unconsciously moving closer to each other.

" Really? You couldn't control it either?" Rogue asked, ignoring Ororo's giggling.

Remy shook his head. " Mais non, Remy had t'learn de hard way, blowing t'ings up everywhere he went. Dat be no good fo' a t'ief t'do. Blowin' up de goods."

Rogue laughed at his little joke and sat back, finally noticing that she was practically sitting on him.

Logan growled at how close Remy was at Rogue and was about to tell him off, when Ororo placed Mathieu in Remy's arms and pushed her cleavage in Logan's face.

" Pumpkin, I was wondering… should we go to the mall or to the park?" Ororo asked innocently.

Logan grunted, forgetting about Remy. He blinked a couple of times before her question hit his brain. " Uh… park?"

Ororo smiled brightly and led him up the stairs.

Mystique gagged at Storm's actions and walked towards Mathieu. She tilted her head and her face contorted from confusion to discovery.

" The resemblance is uncanny," she commented, getting Magneto and Xavier's attention.

" What?" Rogue asked, wary of the blue woman that now looked between her, Mathieu and Remy.

" Mathieu looks like both of you. He has your auburn hair, Gambit… and Rogue's brilliant green eyes. Remy's nose and Rogue's chin," the woman continued.

"It's as if he was made for you two," Magneto mused.

Silence filled the room, when the suddenly, Magneto caught the couple in the television. " Hey it's Pietro!"

Rogue gaped at the television and placed her gloved hand on Mathieu's eyes.

" The Horror!" Magneto screeched as he covered his eyes.

Remy grimaced and gladly flipped the channel. " Remy don't think Speedy gon'be runnin' any time soon."

Rogue nodded. " Didn't know Tabby could do that…"

Mystique grinned. " Well, at least that's one prevented pregnancy!"
