Author's Note: I'm still working on the other chapters so it might take a while until I post the other chapters but please be patient. I'll still work on it. Oh and because of Kurt's accent I had to write some words a little different than what they are suppose to be.

It was just four months after they had gotten engaged that Logan and Marie got married.

There was a wedding held in the gazebo in the Institute's backyard.

Marie had chosen Kitty and Jubilee as her bridesmaids, Logan chose Hank to be his best man, and Kurt was to do the job of the wedding priest for them.

Everything had gone as planned and they had exchanged vows, opened presents, ate, and danced.

It was a dream come true.

--------

Within five months, the happy couple was waiting for the arrival of their baby.

One night, they were sitting on the couch watching a movie. Everything was fine. Logan had one arm wrapped around Marie and her head was against his shoulders.

All of the sudden, Marie felt the baby kick which was followed by a sharp pain.

She then realized something else.

"Logan?" she said getting up and clutching her stomach.

"Yeah?"

"It's time."

"What?"

"My-my water broke."

"Are you sure? I mean you aren't due for at least another week or two."

"Yeah. I'm sure," she said. Then she looked into his eyes and took his hand, "We are going to have a baby Logan. Our baby."

"Yeah, darlin'. C'mon, I'll get you to the lab.

Then he sent a message to the Professor.

Hey, Charles? Marie is ready to have the kid.

Congratulations! I'm sending Jean , Scott, Storm, and Kurt over to you.

Thanks.

Don't mention it.

Very soon, the sound of footsteps could be heard meaning that the group had arrived.

"Oww!" Marie said feeling some more pain.

"Hey, you okay?" Storm asked.

"Sorta," she said as Logan helped her stay up.

"Kurt? Can you please transport her to the lab?"

"Will do," Kurt said with his thick accent, "C'mon sis. You going to be a mother now,"

And with a poof of smoke in the air they were gone to the lab.

"Scott, stay with Logan. Wait outside. We'll call you if when we need to," replied Jean.

"I'm staying with her!" Logan proclaimed.

"Logan, It'll be okay. As soon as it's over, you can come in," said Scott.

"But, I…"

"Logan, trust me," Scott said, "It'll be okay."

Logan, the Professor said, trust us.

Giving it a quick thought Logan said, "Okay, let's go. Hurry!"

They all left to the lab and Jean and Storm came in while Kurt came out and said, "I'll go get ya something to drink ya?"

"Sure," Scott said with a smile.

He left and the only sound that could be heard was Logan as he growled and mumbled under his breath. While walking back and forth in front of the door.

"Logan?" Scott said nervously.

"What, Scooter?" he said sitting in a chair and putting his head in his hands,

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry," he said taking a seat next to him.

"For what?"

"Judging you too hard when we met…Getting on your nerves…yelling at you for no good reason…"

"Oh."

"Yeah, well I'm sorry. I'm also especially sorry for that fact that I was skeptical over you being with Jean and that you and Rogue would never last. But, I guess I was wrong."

"Big time, bub." Logan said.

"Do you think that for the sake of everyone here, can you forgive me?"

Logan smiled to himself. So, he finally got the Scooter boy to apologize huh? Well this certainly was a day to celebrate.

"Yeah. I think so."

"Good, maybe we can be friends and hang out, watch sports, and do stuff together-"

"Don't push it," replied Logan with a smirk.

"We're back!" Kurt said juggling a little tray with coffee cups, "I also vought a vwiend."

"Congratulations, Logan," the Professor said rolling his wheelchair behind the bluish-purple man.

"Thanks chuck. I just wish that I could be in there and all."

"Here's some coffe for ya, ya?" Kurt replied holding up the tray.

"Thanks, bub."

"Your velcome. You, me, we are like buvvies and family. Vou now what I'm sayng, ya?"

"Yeah."

They drank their coffee and talked for about 4 hours. Then out of nowhere, Logan's head lifted and his ears heard a noise.

He heard the sound of a baby crying.

He was now a father.

"That's-that's my baby…"

Before the other's could reply, Storm came out and said, "Logan, congratulations! Marie has just given birth to a healthy baby girl."

Logan just stood there with the most shocked expression on his face.

He had a daughter.

He was a daddy!

Cheers came from the professor, Scott, and Kurt were heard as Logan asked, "Can I go in and see her?"

"Yeah, sure. But she's kinda out of it and is very tired so she'll need rest."

Logan opened the door and ran into the room.

"Hey," he said as he saw Marie on the hospital-like bed.

"Hey, sugah," she whispered in reply with her eyes almost closed.

"Congrats…I love you," he said as he leaned forward and kissed her forehead, "Are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah."

"Gosh, Marie. We are now parents," Logan said in disbelief.

"I know. Can you believe that?"

"It's like a dream," he said sitting in a chair next to her bed and taking her hand and putting it to his cheek.

"A dream come true," Marie finished off.

He kissed the knuckles of her hand and asked, "Where's our baby girl?"

Before she could reply, Jean came in carrying it, "Here she is. All nice and clean. So who wants to hold her first? Mommy or daddy?"

"Marie can."

Marie gave him a look and through his eyes, he said it was okay. She smiled back and mouthed, "Thank you," as Jean bent forward to place it in her arms, in which he blinked back assuring there was no problem.

Marie took the baby in her arms and immediately emotions began to flood in her.

That was her and Logan's child.

"I'll leave you two with her so you can get acquainted. Let me know if you need anything," Jean said before leaving the room.

"Hey baby," Marie said as Logan watched in wonder at the perfect family portrait that laid before him, "It's me, your mama. How are ya, huh?"

The baby squirmed a little and tried to open it's eyes.

"I promise to take care of you and no harm will come to you okay? I'll never turn my back to you and I'll support your every decision you make. You'll always count on me as well as your daddy. He's the most handsome man on the planet and you're very lucky to have him. In fact, you can meet him right now."

Gesturing to Logan, she kissed the little girl's forehead and handed her to him.

Logan took it and was amazed to find her eyes open and a small smile escape.

"Hey darlin', how are you? I - I'm your daddy. I – I want you to know that you and Marie mean more to me than anything. I'll take care of you. I promise. No matter what. If you have a problem, you can come to me and I'll be there. Gosh, I love ya. Don't you ever forget that." Logan said taking a little hand wrapped around his finger.

"Logan?"

"Yean, baby?"

"Come here," Marie said patting an empty spot on the bed. He laid beside her and held their daughter.

"I never want this moment to end," Marie told him.

"Me neither, darlin'. This is how we are going to stay- a family that no matter what will never ever fall apart."

Closing her eyes into a state of sleep, Logan stared down at his two angels. He would watch over them.

They would always watch over each other.
