Rating: R for sexuality. (Might move more into "R" rated later. I'm just covering my ass here.)

Disclaimer: I don't own the X-Men. They belong to the Gods at Marvel Comics Inc. I also don't own the lyrics to "I Want You To Want Me" by Letters To Cleo.

Summary: Logan returns to the Mansion after being away for a few months. Bobby realizes Rogue's true feelings for the Wolverine and he breaks up with her. Now Marie has the task of getting the man she truly loves to notice her, but it seems Logan only has eyes for Jean.

Note: This is not a re-telling of the movie. It is loosely based on X2. But I am changing the plot. I've just used some scenes from the movie for my story. The story is also based on the lyrics of the song "I Want You To Want Me" by Letters To Cleo.

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'll shine up my old brown shoes
Put on a brand new shirt
Get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'
Feeling all alone without a friend you know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'

Ah want you to want me

"You're dead!"

"No you're dead!" Rogue replied as she thumb-wrestled with Bobby.

Suddenly she caught his eye and they stopped and just stared at each other. She wanted to kiss him, needed to kiss him. But she was afraid. Afraid of hurting him. "Ah don't wanna hurt you." she said, not wanting to ruin the moment but knew she had to warn him.

"You won't." he said gently as he leaned in to kiss her. She closed her eyes waiting intensely. Their lips were inches apart and she could feel his warm breath against her face.

Suddenly Rogue heard a noise that made her stop and listen.

That noise.

The roar of the engine of the bike could be heard clearly. It was! But it couldn't be! Could it? "Logan". She thought to herself. Her eyes snapped open and she smiled at Bobby before jumping up and running out the room. Cursing Logan's bad timing, Bobby just sat there a moment before running after Rogue. "Why now, Logan?" Bobby sighed to himself, as he ran out the door.

She had been waiting for him to come back. He promised her he would. Rogue had dreamed about it. Dreamed of seeing him again.

"Please let it be him!"

Rogue prayed to herself as she ran down the stairs to the foyer. She stopped running the last few meters and tried to regain some composure. After all, She didn't want him to think she was silly or desperate, running in there like a little school girl. She head footsteps behind her and turned to see Bobby just as he caught up with her. She had almost completely forgotten about him.

Rogue walked in the room and saw him standing there. His face had such a soft glow to it. She wished she could just run up and kiss him, but she had to settle for a hug instead. Mind you, that was the next best thing. She couldn't think of anything better than being in Logan's strong, muscular arms. "Logan!" she exclaimed as she walked up to greet him. He still had that unique masculine smell about him. And Rogue found herself wondering about the type of aftershave Logan uses. But she quickly pushed it out her mind as she and Logan embraced. "Heya kid, you alright?"

"Ah am now, sugah." Rogue thought to herself, as they parted and she took a few steps back.

"Yeah, Ah'm fine." She smiled.

Logan noticed Bobby standing in the background and stared at him. Bobby stepped forward, moving closer to Rogue. "Who's this?" he asked.

"Oh", Rogue quickly said, not wanting to think that for the second time she had forgotten about Bobby. Logan this is Bobby. "He's …"

"I'm her boyfriend." Bobby jumped in, moving to shake Logan's hand.

"Boyfriend", Logan said with a puzzled look on his face. How do you two …"

"Uh, we're working on that …" Bobby said. He was just about to say that he and Rogue should be going when Storm was heard coming down the stairs.

"Well look whose back." All 3 turned to see Storm, or Ororo as they all called her, coming down the stairs. Logan smiled. "We were beginning to wonder if you were ever going to return, Logan."

Well,I thought I'd come and see what you guys have been up to whileI've been away, and to see if anyone actually missed me" he said Sarcastically.

"I've missed you more than you know." Rogue thought.

"And just in time." Ororo added.

"What for?' Logan asked raising an eyebrow.

"We need a babysitter."

"Babysitter?"

Before Ororo had time to explain, Jean came down. "Hello Logan." she smiled as she walked to greet him. "Hi Jean." He replied, almost frozen to the spot. Jean hadn't changed a bit over the past few months he'd been gone. She still had that radiance about her that lit up a room when ever she entered it.

Rogue looked at Jean. Why was he so attracted to her? "Ah have what she has!" She thought to herself, "Ah can give Logan what ever Jean can!"

"No ah can't. I can't even touch him with out knocking him out. The way he looks at her … Ah wish he'd look at me like that …. Ah wish …" Rogue was brought out of her day dreaming by Logan speaking again.

"So what's this about a babysitter?" He asked.

"Storm and I are headed to Boston for a couple days we need you to stay and watch the children."

"Boston, huh?" Logan replied with raised eyebrows. "Yeah," Jean said, looking down at the floor for a few seconds. "Scott and the Professor are busy with other matters." You don't mind staying do you? Unless you're planning on running off again?"

"Well, I could probably think of a few reasons to stick around..." Logan said with a little smile. Jean turned her head to avoid his gaze and to stop herself from blushing.

Rogue stared at Jean and noticed her blushing slightly. "Did he come back just for her?" She wondered.

"Well I better go get the jet ready." Storm said, sensing that maybe Logan and Jean needed some time alone. Bobby also took note of the situation and realizing that this might be a chance to get Rogue away so they could be alone; he took her by the hand and began to lead her back to the lounge.

"Ba … Bah Logan, I'll see you later." She stammered as Bobby tugged at her hand for her to follow him. If it had been up to her they would not have gone anywhere. She loved Jean, like a sister, but she didn't like the idea of her alone with Logan. How she wished she could be a fly on the wall to hear what they were saying. She tried to wait to see if Logan would look up at her but Bobby pulled her around the corner.

She heard him call out, "See ya kid." as Bobby led her away.
