Chapter 3:
"What do you mean?" Logan asked.
After meeting with Danielle and Diana Logan had taken them to the Institute and taken them to talk to Charles. "Logan they are telling the truth. They are you wife and daughter."
"Are you positive?" Logan asked as he sat down.
"Yes. I have here a marriage licence, DNA test, pictures, and I read their minds."
"Why did they have to turn up now. Me and Ro just engaged. I still have to her and there is no telling on how she is gonna take this."
"We just have to hope for the best. But for the time being I think you should show our guest to their rooms." Charles said.
"Alright. Logan said. Right now he wasn't the happiest person in the world. His life was great up until now. He was engaged to very beautiful woman who loved im just as much as e loved her. They were planning their wedding and Logan's wife and daughter just happen to show up. This was going to be one of the hardest things he ever had to do. Tell his fiancee' that they couldn't get married because he already had a wife. Logan left the office and met up with Danielle and Diana, who were sitting outside of Charles' office. "Come on I'll show you to your room." Logan told them.
"We're staying here?" Danielle asked.
"Yeah. Come on. Follow me." Logan said as he walked away. He led them to two rooms in the teacher's wing, in which one of the room used to be his. He showed Diana to her room which was Logan's old room and he showed Danielle to her room three doors down. "And here's you room." Logan said as he opened the door to the bedroom.
"Thank you. This is nice." Danielle said. She walked in and placed her bags on the floor. Logan was about to leave when Danielle stopped him. "Logan?"
"What."
"Are you sure you don't remember us."
"I told you, I'm sure... That operation wiped my memory. I don't remember anything from before it. So my answer is yes. I don't remember anything." Logan said.
"Well I'm sorry Logan. I'm am so happy that I finally found you but really pissed that you can't remember anything." Danielle e placed her hand on his cheek. Logan placed his hand on hers and sighed. He didn't know what to say. Without saying a word, he turned and left Danielle to unpack alone.
Logan went to his room and sat down on the bed. He didn't know what to so, he did what he always did when he was stressed out, blow off some steam inn the Danger room. Mean while Ororo arrived at her sister's house at around 2:30. She didn't want to tell them about the engagement nor the baby, at least not right away. They talked and talked for hours until Vi brought up the Christmas present that Logan got Ororo. "So I take it that you like the present Logan gave you for Christmas?" Vi said.
"Yes I did. He told me that you help him with it. Thank you." Ororo said as she touched it with her right hand. "And of course that is no the only thing that Logan gave me."
'What else did he give you?" Carl asked.
"This." Ororo said with a smiled on her face. She put out her left hand so Vi and Carl could see the ring. "We're engaged."
"That's great congratulations." Vi and Carl said.
"Finally." Vi said.
""And what is that suppose to mean?" Ororo asked.
"Don"t take this the wrong way but we've been waiting for you to date and we were happy to see you and Logan together. Believe me when I say this but we thought that you two would never get together." Vi said.
"Really?" Ororo asked.
"Yeah. Ask anyone over at the Institute. We saw that you two were obviously in love, but you never acted on your feelings." Carl said.
"Now that I think about it, you are right." Ororo said. "Until Logan came along I never believed in love at first sight. But you know that there is more good news."
"More? What could be better than my sister being engaged? Vi asked.
"Well how about your sister and soon to be brother-in-law giving you a niece or a nephew..." Ororo said.
Carl's and Vi's eyes widened. "You're pregnant?" Carl asked.
Ororo smiled and nodded. "I'm about one month along."
"How did Logan react?" Carl asked.
"He doesn't know yet. I wanted to wait for the right time to tell him." Ororo said.
"I'm going to be an aunt. I never thought I'd see the day." Vi said dreamily.
Ororo glared at her and then laughed. They all did. Hours past until Ororo finally noticed the time. "Wow it's ten o'clock already. I should get going." Ororo yawned.
"Why don't you stay here tonight. You look tired." Carl suggested.
"Yeah. You do. I don't want you falling asleep on the way home." Vi said.
"Are you sure I don't want to be a burden." Ororo said.
"We're sure." Carl said.
"Ok let me call Logan." Ororo said. She took her cell phone out of her purse and pressed 3 and then talk. She waited as her phone dialed the mansions number and it rang twice before someone picked up. "Xavier Institute."
"Jean? It's Ororo."
"Hey what's up?"
"Can you put Logan on the phone for me." Ororo asked.
"Sure Just a sec." Jean tried to contact Logan but he had a mind shield up. I'm sorry Ororo but my guess is that her in the Danger room, he has a mind shield up."
"That's okay. By any chance, if you see him anytime soon, can you tell him that I am still at my sister's house and I was be staying here over night."
" Okay." Jean said. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Thank you bye."
"Bye."
They hung up the phone and Ororo went to bed but Jean stayed up even though she was supposed to be in bed. She just wasn't tired. She stayed up a little while longer. Right as she was walking to her room, while rubbing her four month pregnant belly she passed Logan who was headed up to bed him self. "Het Red have you seen Ororo?"
"Yeah. She called about 45 minutes ago and said she is going to sta the night at her sister's house."
"Alright. Thanks." Logan said.
Jean nodded and they both walked away. Jean entered her room and slipped into bed next to Scott, her husband of seven, almost eight months. They were married on June 4 and they found out Jean was pregnant five months into their marriage. Logan went into his room, took a shower and went to bed. The next day Ororo returned at around noon. She came in through the mansion's front doors and called Logan. "Logan! Logan!" Now was the time. She really wanted to tell him about the baby. Logan came own the stairs and greeted her with a kiss. Just by the kiss, the way her kiss her, she knew something was wrong. "Logan...Something's wrong. What is it?"
"Yeah... Ummmm...We have to take." Logan said as he grabbed her hands in his.
"Logan what's wrong?" Ororo asked. You were able to tell that she was worried just by the tone of her voice.
"Come here." Logan said as he pulled her over to the stairs and they sat down on the second step. "Yesterday when I left, I went to the bar and I met two women. They told me things I didn't believe so I brought them here and that's when Charles told me what they were telling the truth."
Ororo stopped him by placing her hands on his cheeks and kissing him deeply. "Logan tell me, what girls, and what did you find out?"
He was about to talk but they heard a voice. "Logan, who's this?" Danielle got to the bottom of the stairs before he spoke again. "I don't Believe we've met. I'm Danielle Howlett."
Ororo shook her hand." Ororo Monroe."
"Ro this is one of the girl I met. Danielle is my ...my..." Logan couldn't bring himself to say it, so Danielle finished for him.
"I'm his wife. And the other girl he is most probably talking about is Diana our daughter."
"What? Your wife." Ororo asked. She started to cry and quickly turned so they wouldn't see her tears. "I have to go." Ororo stood and started to walk away before Logan went after her and grabbed her arm. She looked at him.
"Ro don't walk away. We'll work through this."
"Logan please. Just...I have to be alone right now okay."
Logan let go of her and looked into her beautiful blue eyes. "Alright."
She turned and walked away as Logan sighed as he watched her retreating figure. "What's her problem?"
"What do you think, she's upset." Logan said as he looked at Danielle.
"Why?"
"What do you think. It's because we're married."
"Well what does it matter to her?"
"Well if we're married then that means that our wedding in July is problem."
"Wait a minute you two... you're married?"
"No shit Sherlock."
Danielle glared at him and went upstairs. Diana came from the direction in which Ororo left. "Hey Dad. Who was that, the woman that was crying?"
"That is Ororo Monroe...my fiancee."
"You are getting married?"
"Well now that you guys showed up I don't know if that'll happen." Logan told her as he sat down on the stair he sat on before.
"I'm sorry Dad, really I am. Even though I really wanted to meet you, at the same time I didn't because I knew that you would have a life where ever you were. And us coming would just ruin it. But mom, being the ways she is, she wanted you back. She wants everything to go her way, and if it doesn't she gets angry." Diana said as she sat down on the same step next Logan. "And my guess is that Mom and Ororo already met. And now that mom knows that you have another woman in your life, she will do anything to get put Ororo out of the picture and get you to herself. Please be careful."
"Thanks. It's nice to know at least one of you cares." Logan said as he looked over at Diana, who smiled back.
"I just hope that everything turns out for the best." Diana said. She gave him a hug before getting up and started to walk away.
"Wait a minute." Logan said. I know this question is sudden but who named you?" Logan asked.
Diana smiled. "Diana Maria came from you."
"Really?" Logan asked.
"Yeah. When I was a little girl mom always told me that you named me after your mother. She told me that you're mom died when you were about 6 years old. You didn't really remember her and so you wanted to name me after her, to prove how much you loved her." Diana informed him.
"Thanks." Logan said.
Diana smiled as she turned again and went upstairs. Logan stayed seated for a few more minutes before going out for a ride. Ororo sat in the library and cried. Everyone started to know that she was upset because it raining. She tried to stop crying but she failed once she saw the ring on her finger. Jean came in. "Ororo?"
Ororo looked up at Jean as she walked over and sat down next to her. She hugged Ororo without saying a word. Jean and Ororo eventually started to talk about the baby trying to get Ororo's mind off of Logan. But all Ororo could think about was the fact that she never told Logan about their baby. "How is the baby treating you?" she asked.
"Okay." Jean answered.
"Well it looks like that your baby is going to have a playmate not long after it is born." Ororo smiled.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm pregnant." Ororo said.
"That's great...but wh..."
"Logan doesn't know yet. I was going to wait for the right time to tell him but his wife showed up."
"Oh. Look, Logan loves you. Ever since you two got together, I've never seen him happier than he is with you. You two will work this out."
"I know. I love him too but right now nothing is going the way it should go. Most probably the wedding is cancelled and right now I can't Logan about the baby. There is no telling on when things will start to look up or if they even start to look up."
"I can't say when everything will start to look up but I know for a fact it will."
"I just hope you're right." Ororo said.
Over the next few days, things got worse. Logan started to spend more time with Danielle and less time with Ororo. Diana spent some time with Logan but most of the time with Ororo getting to know her. One night Logan ruined everything he and Ororo were working for, over the past few days. He broke Ororo's heart. He broke her heart by sleeping with Danielle. Here's wheat happened. On February 2 at 3:00 in the morning Logan lay awake not able to sleep. He looked at Ororo who was laying next to him with her back to him. He sighed and decided to get a beer and try to get some sleep again. Being that Ororo was a light sleeper, Logan carefully got out of bed and got out of the room without waking Ororo. He headed down to the kitchen. When he got to the kitchen and met up with Danielle.
He walked in and saw her at the table eating some ice-cream from a bowl. "Hey." Logan greeted.
"Hey. Can't sleep?"
"No."
"Me neither."
Logan walked over to the other side of the kitchen and got a beer from the refrigerator. It was quiet for a minute while Logan drank and Danielle ate her ice-cream. They didn't feel like talking for a minute before Danielle spoke up. "So how are you and Ororo?"
"Good." Logan said. "How are you and Diana liking it here?"
"We're fine. Diana is actually spending a lot of time with Ororo lately."
"Yeah. I know."
Danielle finished her ice-cream and so she washed it and found her self standing in front of Logan. They were actually standing really close. Daniel then asked the question that was going through her mind ever since she came. "Logan do you love me?"
This came to Logan's surprise. "Yes but..."
"You love Ororo too."
"Yeah."
Danielle move closer to Logan so that they were only inches apart. "But the thing is I love you too. I love you so much you wouldn't believe." Danielle placed her hand on Logan's cheek and leaned up to kiss him. Her lips connected with his. She pulled away after a few seconds and pulled away only to have Logan kiss her back. She wrapped her arms around Logan's neck and Logan wrapped his arms around her waist. They broke only for air and then kissed again while they headed up stairs to Danielle's room.
Meanwhile Ororo woke up and noticed Logan was not there in bed. "Logan. Logan" she called only to get no response.
Ororo waited a few seconds before getting out of the bed and deciding to go downstairs to see if that is where Logan was. When she turned the corner she saw a site that she never thought she'd see in her life. Logan was kissing Danielle who had her legs wrapped around his waist and they were going in to her room and closing the door. A tear came down Ororo's cheek as she started to run back to her room. Once she got there she let it all out, and it started to rain. Ever since Danielle e came Ororo knew that Logan would have to choose between the two and it looks like Logan just made his choice. "I have to leave."
She went to her closet and grabbed the biggest suitcase she could find and started to pack all of her clothes and the things she needed. While making the bed she saw the ring on her finger. She finished making the bed and sat down at her desk with a pen, two pieces of paper, two envelopes, and the box that the engagement ring came in. she kept the box, she didn't know why but she felt that she just had to. She wrote a note to Charles and Logan and placed them in the right envelope. For Logan's note she put it on the pillow on the bed and she returned the ring in it's box.
She grabbed her suitcase, coat, and note for Charles and left the room with out looking back. Ororo went down stairs to the garage, she opened the garage door so the exhaust fumes would not stay in the garage. She turned on her car and put the suitcase in the back seat. Se went to Charles office and put the envelope that was addressed to him on his desk, so it would be the first thing he saw. She looked around the office and a tear came out of her eye. "Goodbye Charles. I will miss you Logan."
Ororo left the office and headed back to te car. She left the mansion grounds in no intension of return. Two hours later at 5:30 she arrived at her sisters house. She knew that she was awake because around this time Carl woke up to get ready for work, plus the lights were on. Ororo parked in front of the house and got out of the car pulling her coat closed. She rang the door bell. After a minute Carl opened the door wearing dress pants and a dress shirt. "Ororo what are you doing here?" he asked as he moved aside so she could come in.
"Is Vi awake. I have to talk you." Ororo said in a shaky voice. Carl took her coat.
"Yeah just wait here."
Carl rushed upstairs and explained to Vi that Ororo showed up. She came down in a hurry and gave Ororo a hug. When they pulled away Vi notice Ororo was crying. "Ororo what's wrong?"
"I broke up with Logan." Ororo said through tears.
