Now here it is….THE GRAND FINALE:

Chapter 19

Logan slumped down on the couch and closed his eyes. Seven hours. That was how long he spent looking for Ororo, but no luck.

"Where are you, 'Ro," he mumbled.

"Logan!"

Logan groaned, couldn't he have one second of peace in this goddamn place!?

"Look what I found, Logan! Wake up!"

"Go away, can I please get some peace?" Logan grumbled, turning around.

"Logan, this is really important! REALLY, REALLY important! I mean it!"

"Oh fine!" he snapped, opening his eyes. Aqua and Tidus stood in front of him, looking really worried.

"What is it?! Did you find who bought the ice cream or something!?"

"No," Aqua said crossly, "but we found something way more important."

"There's something more important?" Logan said sarcastically, his head pounding like mad.

"Logan, this is really serious," Tidus said, "here, look at this." Logan frowned and took the papers from him.

"Holy shit!" Logan bolted up from the couch, staring at the papers in his hand, "HOLY SHIT!"

"I know, I can't believe Jean would get THAT evil, making up some crap like that!" Tidus said angrily.

"Do you think she told Ororo? " Aqua wondered.

"She did," Logan said slowly.

"What?! How do you know?"

"'Cause she's gone. She ran away from me."

"She ran away!? I can't believe it. But then, of course she would run away, finding out that her boyfriend had a child with her best friend and everything. Good thing this is all Jean's lies. Come on, let go get her." Aqua started to run outside, but Logan grabbed her arm.

"It's true," he said softly, not looking in their eyes.

"WHAT!?" they both shouted.

"I don't believe it, it can't be true," Aqua said, shaking her head.

"It is."

"Well, you probably did it with her when you weren't with Ororo, right?" Tidus asked, "Right!?"

Logan looked away and sat down.

"OH MY FUKING GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU EVIL, EVIL MAN!" Aqua screamed when Logan didn't reply. She ran out of the room and up the stairs. Tidus stayed and looked at Logan.

"I guess you'll be going too, right?" Logan said, looking up.

"Yah, but I just got one thing to tell you. I've always thought that you and Ororo were like the parents I never had. I always thought that you were a good and honourable man, despite your dark past. I thought that it didn't matter. I mean, everyone makes mistakes, right? I thought that as long as you made up for them now, everything would be cool. I thought wrong." Then he turned around and walked out of the room. He didn't storm away like Aqua, but when he reached the last step, he turned around.

"I can't believe you did that, Logan. I'm very disappointed in you."

Logan buried his head in his hands.

"I'm very disappointed in myself too," he said softly.

----------------------------------

Late that night, Ororo flew quietly into her room. She gathered all her stuff and put them in a leather suitcase Aqua gave her. She smiled as she thought of Aqua and Tidus. They could always make her laugh. She would really miss them when she left. Then taking a deep breath, she gathered the last of her clothes and buckled up the suitcase. Taking the suitcase, she walked down the stairs from her attic and to Blaze's room. Ororo walked over to his crib, and putting down her suitcase, she picked up the little boy. Blaze's eyes opened slowly when he felt himself being picked up.

"Hey Blazey," Ororo smiled. Blaze gave her a toothless smile and blew a raspberry. Her eyes immediately started to water. She was really going to miss Blaze.

"I'm going to have to go, Blaze," she choked out, blinking to keep the tears in, "I hope you grow up to be a really handsome guy." He started sniffling like he understood everything she was saying,

"Goodbye, Blaze." She kissed him on the forehead and put him back down on his crib, along with something special. Then, taking one last glance at him, she flew out into the night sky. The moment she left, Blaze's cries could be heard in the silent house.

-------------------------------

The next morning, Logan sauntered into the kitchen to meet Aqua and Tidus' angry stares.

"I'm not hungry anymore, Tidus, let's go," Aqua said coldly. Tidus gave him a cold stare and nodded, following her outside. Logan sighed and poured himself a cup of coffee. It was his own fault that this happened. If he hadn't cheated on 'Ro, none of this would have happened. Ororo wouldn't have run off and Aqua and Tidus wouldn't refuse to talk to him. They could've been so happy, like a big happy family. Even though everyone thought that Logan was a man that didn't like to be tied down, they were wrong. All he wanted was a wife and some kids that loved him. They would live in a cottage near the edge of a forest and they would all be happy. He had been so close to his goal…so very close. Then he had to go on and ruin them. If only he hadn't been so damn stupid. Ororo was the only women that he ever loved. The only woman that he ever wanted more than sex from. And what did he do? He went and spoiled everything. He ruined his future. Logan abandoned his coffee and buried his face in his hands. He needed her. He could live without his job, his money, even his powers, but he couldn't live without her. Life was nothing without her.

Logan sauntered into Blaze's room and looked around. Ororo had done the decorating. "All baby's need a baby room," she had said with a smile. They had spent hours together, painting and putting the stuff into the room. Those were the best days of his life. Just spending time with the woman he loved. He walked over to Blaze's crib and noticed something in the pocket of his little pyjamas. Logan picked it up and opened the envelope. Inside was the necklace he gave Ororo for Christmas. The pearl that brought them together. He quickly opened up the letter inside and began reading.

Dear Logan,

By the time you get this letter, I'm probably far away. Please don't go looking for me. I'm not worth all your time. You have Blaze and Jean to take care of. If you don't already know, Blaze is your son. Your real son. At first I didn't believe it, but then I remembered the day we had that fight and how you disappeared for the rest of the night. Then I did my own DNA scan and found out that Jean was telling the truth. I don't blame you for doing this to me. No lies. I really don't blame you. The only person I blame is myself. I should have never started with you. If it weren't for me, you would have never done this and you wouldn't have a son to take care of now. So now, I must repair what I've done. I must leave you and Blaze forever. If I don't, I know that you'll never let me go and I'm afraid that if I stay any longer, I'll start to change my mind. You would continue taking care of Blaze, but you would never really accept him as your son. You would think of him just as an one-night stand thing. I just can't bear that. Blaze and Jean both deserve the best from you. Please don't go looking for me. Just promise me one thing. Take good care of Jean and Blaze, don't let them ever get hurt. Don't be sad or blame yourself, Logan, because it isn't your fault. Just like how a river flows to the sea, some things are just meant to be.

Ororo

"'Ro…" Logan whispered, the letter dropping to the ground. He picked up Blaze and hugged him tightly, silently crying into the little baby's pyjamas.

"She's gone, Blaze," he cried. Blaze seemed to sense his sadness and started crying too. Suddenly, Logan smelled something. Something that smelled like vanilla and nature. Ororo! Logan put down Blaze and ran down the stairs. He pushed open the door and ran out into the pouring rain.

"Ororo! Come out! I know you're here!" he shouted to the sky. The rain poured heavily on him, drenching his clothes.

"Come out! Please!" Logan felt something wet drop from his face. He didn't know if it was the rain or his tears. It was really cold, but not as cold as he felt inside. He needed to her. Logan could feel her presence. He could feel the rain as if it was her tears.

"Ororo!" he shouted.

Up in the sky, hidden by the clouds, Ororo could see Logan standing on the field. Rain pounded down on him…her tears. She just had to see him one more time before going. Just one more time. She wanted one memory of him to place in her memories forever, but she never expected this.

"Ororo! Please come out and see me! Please!" Logan shouted up to the sky as if he knew she was right there looking at him.

"Please, 'Ro! I need to talk to you!"

Ororo looked away and felt more tears fall down from her eyes. She wanted to talk to him. She really wanted to embrace him and tell him that everything would be alright, but she knew it would be wrong. If she went down, she would never wanted to leave. She would want to stay with him forever. So without looking back, she flew off to the airport.

----------------------------------

Logan walked back into the house, drenched with water. His hair was matted to his head and his clothes dripped water everywhere. Aqua and Tidus passed by, laughing at a joke Bobby made. They stopped when they saw Logan.

"What happened to you?" Aqua asked, unable hide her concern. Logan walked straight past them and up the stairs, his eyes hollow. Aqua and Tidus looked at each other and followed after him as fast as they could. They pushed open the door to his room and were met by the sight of Logan lying on his bed, his back facing them.

"Logan? Are you okay?" Tidus asked quietly. They both kneeled down beside his bed. Logan turned around and looked into Aqua's eyes.

"She's gone," he said with disbelief, "Ororo's gone and there's nothing I can do about it."

"Oh my god, Logan…why did she go?" Aqua gasped. Logan turned back around so his back faced them.

"Go away. Just go away," he muttered. Aqua opened her mouth to protest, but Tidus put a hand on her shoulder to stop her. He shook his head and they both walked towards the door.

"We're going, Logan. We'll see you later," Aqua said softly. They looked back one last time at Logan and walked out. They didn't see the tears sliding silently down his face.

3 years later………

The bell rang and all the kids gathered up their books to leave.

"WAIT! STOP EVERYBODY!" the teacher shouted through the noise. The students immediately stopped and gave their full attention to the teacher.

"There's a test on Monday and I want you people to study. STUDY! Not just open your notes and then watch TV! I want you people to STUDY! If I find someone that fails this test, I'm going to make them find the word 'study' in the dictionary and write it two thousand times!" He ordered, "Do you guys understand?" Everyone in the class nodded.

"Good, now shoo! Go eat your lunch now!"

At that, the noise began again as 24 kids ran out of the classroom. The teacher sighed and sat back down.

"Perfect time to mark them essays," he muttered, picking up his pen. He looked at Bobby's paper and chucked. Bobby actually managed to spell united and stumped wrong.

"Uh…Professor?" He looked up to see Aqua and Tidus standing in front of him, their books still in their arms.

"Yes?" he asked, looking intently at them.

"Don't tell me you forgot, Logan!" Aqua burst out, "I mean, 'Professor Logan.'"

"Forget what?"

"Blaze's party! Don't tell me you forgot your own son's birthday!" Tidus exclaimed.

" 'Course not. But it seems like you two forgot that it starts at 3:00 PM and it's only noon right now," Logan grinned, tapping his watch.

"Oh…we'll be…er… going now, Logan," Aqua said, smiling meekly. She pulled Tidus with her and they headed off to lunch. Logan's smile slowly began to disappear as the two teens walked out the door. He looked around the empty classroom, his eyes reflecting the loneliness he felt inside. He sighed heavily again and started marking Bobby's paper again.

Three years ago, for a week after Ororo disappeared, Logan had hidden in his room everyday. He never came out for any meals and even stopped going to the bar at night. Everyone tried getting him out, Aqua, Tidus, Jean, the professor, Kitty, Rouge, Bobby, even baby Blaze crawled to his door once, but he refused to. Right after that week though, he returned to normal and acted like nothing happened. He just went down to breakfast one day with Blaze in his arms. Aqua and Tidus were so relieved that they forgave Logan for what he did. At first, Jean had been happy and excited that Logan was finally better, she started trying to get them together with Blaze, but it didn't work. When Logan finally had enough, he went up to Jean and told her that they could never get together because he just didn't have any feelings for her anymore. When she heard this, Jean started getting weird…and crazy…well, more than usual anyway. She started stalking him and running off with Blaze. Scott started to help her too. Then one day, Jean and Scott attempted to jump off a building with Blaze. If it weren't for Blaze's loud crying, they would've succeeded. Xavier tried to heal them with his mind, but he failed because of the mind shields Jean put against him. So he gave up and sent them to a mental hospital, hoping they would get better. They didn't. Jean choked on a bar of soap and ended up dieing. As for Scott, he's still alive, but whenever he's sees a woman, he starts thinking that it's Ororo.

As for Logan, he didn't run off like everyone thought he would. He stayed around, taking care of Blaze and the rest of the kids. After a while, he took up Ororo's old job as history teacher. He told everybody that he'd always wanted to learn more about history, but everyone knew why he chose that job. Aqua and Tidus would find him walking around the classroom or tidying up Ororo's room at night when everyone was asleep. Even though he acted all happy around people, they both knew that he was really lonely and sad on the inside. He really missed Ororo. Logan thought that nobody knew, but Aqua and Tidus knew that he wrote an email to 'Ro every day, telling her all about what's going on at the mansion. She never wrote back once, probably because Kitty had made the email address against Ororo's will. As for Xavier, he refused to look for her with Cerebro. He said that they should all trust Ororo's judgement and that when she wanted to come back, she would. Logan nodded to this, but they didn't miss his disappointment. Aqua had been mad at the professor for weeks.

Logan never did figure out if Blaze was really his son or not. Xavier offered to get Hank to check for him, but Logan refused. He told them that whether Blaze was his real son or not didn't really matter. No matter what, he would take care of Blaze forever, making sure he was safe, just like he promised Ororo.

That night, after Blaze's birthday party, Logan was sitting on the bed in Ororo's attic room. He had left early when no one noticed. Everything in that room reminded him of her. Everything and everybody in the mansion reminded him of her. Wherever he went, he couldn't help but think of her. He smoothed the sheets and the pillows on her bed, remembering when they would lay in each other's arms at night (A/N: with their clothes on, people! Don't think dirty!). Suddenly, Logan heard the door creek open. He was seriously losing his touch, usually, he would be able to hear and smell someone way before that.

"Dwaddy?" a little dirty blonde haired boy said, walking into the room.

"Yah, come here little dude," Logan grinned, put him on his lap. Blaze giggled and snuggled right in.

"You miss mwommy, don't you?" Blaze asked, looking up at his father. Logan sighed.

"Yah."

"Me too, I mwiss her a whole lots too."

"You do?" Logan asked, turning Blaze around, "you remember her?"

"Of course, she's my mwommy. I 'member that she was really pretty, like…uh…" Blaze paused to think of the right word, "angel. Juss like a angel. And white hair and she smells a lots like vanilla."

"You're right, Blaze. She was really beautiful and will always be beautiful," Logan said, lost in his thoughts.

"Dwaddy?" Blaze said, shaking Logan's hand. He snapped back from his thoughts and looked at Blaze for a while. He sure reminded him of Ororo. She always knew what was going on his head….

"Hey wait a minute. Shouldn't you be in bed, young man?" Logan asked, raising an eyebrow. Blaze giggled and shook his head.

"Oh yes you should be." Logan scooped him up and carried him back to bed, Blaze giggling and struggling all the way.

A week later…………

Logan rubbed his temples tiredly and yawned. He didn't know how Ororo did it, marking all these damn tests. He looked around the empty classroom and ran a hand through his hair. He could remember when 'Ro would stand in front of the class, lecturing the students on some boring war, and how he would just stand at the doorway, watching her move her hands dramatically, trying to make the lesson more interesting. Lots of things happened in this classroom. Like when Ororo and him would spend the whole night just talking to each other when she was suppose to be marking papers. And when Ororo attempted to teach him about him computers but ended up busting the poor thing. He chuckled as he remembered how angry she was when it didn't do what she wanted it to do. All these memories were etched in his brain. He sighed for the hundredth time and got back to marking the tests. Around 3 AM, he finally finished.

"Three fails and the rest passes, that's good," Logan said to himself. He checked the names of the students that failed. Bobby, Aqua and Rouge. Typical. Rouge and Aqua could've passed this one but they just HAD to go to the mall on the other side of town for the weekend. As for Bobby…well let's just say Logan should be glad that at least he didn't spell "cat" wrong. Logan stretched one more time and just was about to go up to bed when the door to the classroom suddenly opened.

"Dwaddy! Dwaddy!" Blaze shouted, running to his father.

"What is it, Blaze? Did Aqua flood the basement again?" Logan asked worriedly. All the teachers and students had spent weeks taking out the water again.

"No dawaddy! Mwommy's back! She's backs!" Blaze exclaimed happily.

"What?!"

"Come! She's outsides rights now! Come!" Blaze grabbed Logan's hand and pulled him outside to the greenhouse. The lights were on. Logan's heart soared with hope. Maybe she is back. When they got to the green house, Blaze let go of Logan's hand and looked around.

"Mwommy? Wheres are you? Mwommy?" Blaze shouted, running around the greenhouse. Logan's heart sank as no one replied. Blaze must be imagining things again…then he caught a familiar scent.

"Logan?" He turned around at the voice and was met by the beautiful weather goddess.

"Mwommy!" Blaze shouted, jumping over to her. Ororo laughed and lifted him into her arms. Logan walked slowly towards them, not believing his eyes. She was actually back. After so long. When he was inches away from her face, he stopped, looking deep into her eyes. Ororo put Blaze back onto the ground and looked back.

"Logan…I…." she started, but she never got to finish. Logan wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug.

"Don't say anything," he whispered, "as long as you're back, everything's okay." Logan breathed in. She smelled like vanilla.

------------------------------------------

And that's the end. Here's a question I want to ask you people:

Should I write an epilogue or should I just end it here?:

1) you should write an epilogue.

2) you should just leave it at that or you might ruin it.

Please tell me your answer by reviewing this chapter. PLEASE! It is the end and everything, so you people should be nice to me….

Oh and one more thing before you go off and read another fic or play some video game. I'm thinking about writing another RoLo fic later…MAYBE. I'm not sure yet but I got come of the plot figure out, here's a temporary summary:

During a battle against Magneto, Ororo is killed. Logan thinks that it's all his fault for not being there for his lover, so he steals Hank's experiment time watch and goes back in time to save Ororo. He encounters many incidents on the way, but finally, he manages to rescue Ororo from her horrible fate. But what happens when he travels back to the future and finds out that the future he once knew has disappeared. And replacing it is a world where he has already died.

And there it is. I haven't thought of a title yet, but I'm sure I think of one sooner or later. You like or not? Please tell me when you review! And now, I must go….but you will be sure that I will be back.

See you in my Van Helsing fic, people,

Over and Out,
