3 years had gone by ever since the very unfortunate encounter with Mystique and the Brotherhood.
Marie had been training to control her powers and all seemed to be going well. Every now and then she was able to manage to control them but sometimes failed. At each point of weakness, Logan had always been found right by her side.
They had grown closer causing their friendship, as well as their relationship, to evolve.
This is what they wanted.
She was older and they found ways around her skin and at times were even intimate.
She loved him and he loved her.
What could possibly go wrong?
----------
Tears drew in Marie's eyes.
This couldn't be happening.
Could it?
Positive.
The test was positive.
The pregnancy test.
Marie couldn't remember how long ago it had been since she started to stare at it but it seemed like forever.
There was a knock on the door.
It was Jean.
"Rogue? Are you alright?"
There was no answer.
"Is everything okay in there?"
Marie got up and unlocked the door of the bathroom.
"What did it say?" asked Ororo.
Marie didn't say anything but just handed Jean the test.
Jean looked down with a gasp of disbelief. She closed her eyes and showed it to Ororo who muttered, "Oh god…"
Thinking quickly, Jean said, "Umm…congratulations."
Marie just nodded like she was lost in a daze.
Worried, Jean said, "Rogue? Please come and sit down and relax. Take a few deep breaths okay."
She then sat down in what appeared to be a dentist-like chair.
Storm found a blanket and covered Rogue with it while Jean put all the test stuff away.
"Get some rest, okay?"
Marie nodded and slowly she drifted off.
----------
About 5 hours later, Marie awoke to find her back in her room.
She blinked a few times to get adjusted to the light before she remembered of the events that had occurred earlier…
----------
Earlier that day…
It was morning and Marie had just woken up. She now shared a room with Logan so she mumbled his name and turned to where she would usually find him to realize that he was gone. There on the pillow was a mini post-it note.
Rubbing her eyes, she took the paper and held it up so she could see it.
Marie,
Darlin', I hate to be leaving you like this but Chuck has sent me, Kurt, and Scott, on a min-mission in town. I won't be long and I'll probably be back tonight or even maybe late afternoon. Take care.
Love you,
Logan
P.S.
When I say that I love you, I really mean it. Don't you ever forget it.
Marie put it down and smiled.
Her Logan.
Always short and straight and to the point.
They had been through so much together over the last years that one would think that they had seen it all.
Slowly she sat up to feel a sharp pain in her head and then her stomach.
Not again, Marie thought to herself.
Then all the sudden she was overcome with nausea and she sprinted to the bathroom.
This was happening more and more constantly lately.
What was wrong with her?
She cleaned and rinsed herself off with a towel near the sink. As she dried her face, she looked up to the mirror and saw herself in disgust.
All these strange feelings must just be the stomach flu, she told herself. She then got dressed and went downstairs to meet Jean, Ororo, Bobby, Remy, Jubilee, and Kitty who were all in the kitchen.
"Guten morgen," replied Kurt.
"Hey," she said. She had become very close with her brother since she came back to the mansion with Logan after the Mystique incident.
"Would you like some orange juice?" Jubillee asked.
"I'm really not hungry," Marie responded.
"Oh, c'mon. You've gotta have something," Bobby pinched in.
"He's right, ya know?" Kitty said.
"Fine," Marie said giving in as she was sitting now in one of the stools at the counter.
Marie then began to listen at Kitty and Jubes discussion on the latest Jennifer Lopez rumor when her nausea started again.
Remy noticed the uncomfortable look on her face and asked, "Is there anything wrong, chere?"
"I---I don't know," Marie said.
"You look pale," Jean stated.
"Are you sick?" began Ororo.
"I," Marie started before she fell weak out of her chair. Thankfully, Remy was there to catch her, She hadn't passed out but she had the most uncomfortable feeling like she couldn't control herself.
"Quick," Ororo started "take her to the lab," she informed Remy.
"You all stay here and watch the kids. We'll take care of this," Jean informed them.
That's when storm, Jean, and Remy left the room while a bunch of nervous and confused faces watched in wonder.
------------
Rogue blinked to find herself in one of the lab table beds.
What happened? She asked herself.
Just then she saw Jean walking over to her.
"Hey. How are you feeling?"
"What happened?"
Just then Storm appeared and exchanged glances with a nervous Jean.
Trying to sit up but failing to do so, Marie asked, "Tell me what's wrong with me."
Jean sighed and said, "Storm? Has Remy left already?"
Storm nodded and Jean looked back at Rogue with sympathy in her eyes.
"Rogue, what I'm about to tell you…it is a very delicate topic."
"What are you talking about?"
"First, answer something, okay?"
"Sure what?"
Jean exchanged looks with Storm again and took a deep breath, "Now I know that you are not as young as you used to be but young is still young and…"
"Spill it. You're beginning to sound like Scott."
Jean smiled and continued by saying, "What I need to know is that are you and
Logan…you know…having an intimate relationship?"
"What?" Marie asked taken aback from what Jean had just said.
"Storm and I," there she paused and exchanged looks with Ororo and said, "Have reason to believe that you are pregnant with Logan's child."
Marie bolted straight up and all and looked at the both of them, "WHAT?!"
"Your symptoms…they are all normal for pregnancies."
"It just can't be. I just…I am?!"
"Jean is right. Your nausea, differences in your diet, headaches…all symptoms."
"Is there any more weird stuff going on?" Jean asked.
Marie thought for a moment and then said, "Oh, crap. I've been about a week late."
Storm nodded and replied, "Yet another symptom."
Marie sunk back down in silence and put a hand on her stomach.
Was she really pregnant?
She always wanted a family with Logan but this was just too soon for her.
Logan.
Oh no.
How was she going to tell him about this? How would he take it? Would he be mad at her? Would it be an end to an already fairytale romance?
"Get some rest and when you wake up, I want you to take this pregnancy test. From there we can decide what kind of tests I can do to confirm or if there isn't any need since you could just have something else."
"Like the stomach flu?"
"Possibly."
And that's what she did. She woke up 2 hours later and made herself go through the test.
It concluded their assumptions to be right.
She was pregnant.
Now came the difficult task.
She had to tell Logan and there was no turning back.
---------
Later that night Marie found herself writing and sitting in the chair staring out the window wondering how his reactions would be.
Would he be overjoyed? Would he be angry? Would he face tell to get rid of it?
No! She refused. She would have this baby no matter what. She was it's mother and wasn't willing to loose it.
Just them, the door creaked and Logan silently came in thinking she was asleep.
He spotted her and put down a bag near the foot of the bed before moving up to her and kissing her on the forehead, "Hey, darlin'. Why are you up so late? Shouldn't you be in bed?"
Trying her best to be strong, she nodded and said, "Logan we need to talk."
Logan took a seat in front of her and said, "About what," as he began to play with her hair.
She didn't even know where to begin, "Ummmm…"
"Marie, just tell me, okay?"
"Logan?"
"Yeah darlin'?
"I'm pregnant."
She closed her eyes and tried to not imagine the look on his face.
He's mad, she thought when he felt his hands pull away from her face.
"You- you are."
She nodded and began to cry then and there.
All of the sudden she was surprised when she felt Logan take his hands into hers and kissed them through the gloves that she put on for just-in-case purposes of her skin.
"Logan?"
"Shh... I just never suspected it to be this soon. I thought we would've been married by the time that this would happen."
"Logan…"
She couldn't finish because he took her and grabbed her into a tight embrace.
Surprised, Marie hugged back and cried on his shoulder.
"Shhh. It's okay. I love you. I'll take care of you both."
"Promise."
"Yeah. I promise."
Logan then took a deep breath and said out of nowhere, "Marie if I'd ask you to marry me, would you say yes?"
Marie sat up right, "Logan are you-?"
He nodded and said, "Would you marry me?"
"Yes Logan! I will."
They kissed and hugged each other knowing that at least things for now would be alright.
