Is it just me, or is it every time an X-Woman gets pregnant and runs without telling the father about the baby, she comes back after four years.

NaijaStrawberrie: Sorry, I meant When N'dare was three days old Ororo was allowed to take her home.

Chapter 7:

RINGRING...RINGRING...RIN "Hello Xavier Institute."

"Hey Rogue. It's Ororo."

"Hey."

"I'm sorry I can't talk right now, but can you put Charles on the phone?"

"Yeah. Hold on." It was quiet for a moment. "Hello."

"Hello Charles I have to talk to you."

"Is something wrong?"

"Yes...No...Well as you know N'Dare's birthday is in a week."

"Yes."

"And.. I.. was wondering if N'Dare, Sadie and I can go there for a few days."

"You do know that Logan is here right?"

"Yes...that is why I want to come. For the past few months N'Dare has been asking questions about Logan and I answered them. And today... I asked her what she wanted for her birthday, and she said that she wanted to meet her father."

"And you said Yes." It wasn't a question, it was just a statement.

"Yes.. I mean how could I not? I know I was the one who left Logan but that shouldn't stop her from meeting her father, one of the people who gave her life. When she asked me, it set something off that made me realize that she wasn't completely happy. She saw all of her friends with Dads and she was the only one with just a mom."

"Okay. I will set up two rooms for you and I will purchase the plane tickets for you."

"Okay." Ororo said. "Thank you Charles."

"No problem. I will call you when I get the tickets."Charles said.

"Okay. Just don't announce it to the mansion yet." Ororo said.

"I won't."

"Thank you Bye." Ororo said. They hung up the phone. Ororo was sitting in her car at the local 'Toys R Us'. She put her cell phone in her purse and got out of the car to get some toys for N'Dare. After shopping and getting a call from Charles, telling her that he got the flight booked for, Tuesday at 8:00 pm. It was Sunday and they had two days to get ready. Ororo managed to push back N'Dare's birthday party to Monday and everybody she invited that lived in Virginia was able to make it. She moved it up because she didn't want to disappoint N'Dare because lots of her friends were to come. And not to mention N'Dare was very happy that she was going to meet her father. The time finally came, their plane left at 8:00 pm and landed at 10:30 pm. About thirty minutes before the plane landed N'dare asked, "Mommy can you tell me about Daddy again?" She yawned being that she was tired.

"Sure." Ororo started to remember everything Logan had did for her. "Your dad is someone who never lets anyone push him around, he sticks up for himself and others. He's always there for the people he loves and he'll protect them with his life, and he'll never give up." Ororo looked down and saw that N'Dare was sleeping.

When the plane landed N'dare was still sleeping and Ororo didn't want to wake her up, so she carried her off the plane, and it was easy being that she didn't have any carry on bags. She entered the building and looked around and eventually saw Scott and Jean. "Hey guys." Ororo said as she shifted N'Dare in her arms.

"She's sleeping?" Jean asked.

"Yes." I did not want to wake her." Ororo answered.

"Here. Let me get her." Scott said. Ororo transferred her over to Scott.

"Thank you." Ororo said. She hugged Jean and gave Scott a kiss on the cheek.

"Come on we have to go get your luggage and pick Sadie." Jean said. They made their way to the baggage claim and picked up the luggage and picked up Sadie. The went out to the limo which Kurt was driving. She greeted Kurt with a big hug and they headed home. Ororo sat in the back with Jean and Scott and N'Dare had her head resting on Ororo's lap and Sadie was on the floor sleeping.

Meanwhile back at the mansion:

Logan just got out of the shower after spending three hour in the danger room. He was laying in his bed, looking at a ring. Every night, ever since Ororo left him, he looked at the ring. He thought about returning the ring but never got the heart to. He still loved her which gave him hope that she would come back, but now he was starting to think that it wouldn't happen. He put the ring back in his drawer and fell asleep and dreamt about her. Just like every night for four years.

Kurt parked in the garage and everyone got out. Ororo was carrying N'Dare and Sadie jumped out and sat down just wagging her tail. "Velcome back Ororo." Kurt said. He disappeared and went to his room and got into bed with his wife of two years, Kitty. Scott and Jean grabbed the bags and they went to the mansion's foyer. Ororo looked at the steps and smiled as a tear came down her cheek. "It's been too long."

"Yeah." Jean said.

The went upstairs. Ororo got the attic back and Sadie was put with her for the night. N'Dare got the room that was right next to the attic entrance. The next morning Logan was the first wake up and went straight to the danger room for a few hours, until someone cooked breakfast. Ororo was the second. She got up, took a shower, did all that morning stuff before getting dressed in a pair of blue hip-huggers and a white sleeveless shirt, and white sandals. After that she took Sadie outside for a walk around the mansion grounds.

Every step she took, brought her another step closer to another place that brought back more memories of Logan. She and Logan had a history at the mansion, like at the green house. When she got there she was surprised to find that everyone had kept her plants alive. This is where they their first kiss. It was the day after Apocalypse

FLASHBACK: 6YEARS AGO

Ororo was in her green house planting some rose bushes when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Within a second she was in the air and turned around. She had lightning in her hand and her eyes were white. Her hair was standing on end as the wind started to pick up. She was ready to attack. "Calm down Ro, It's just me." Logan said, trying to stay on his feet

It took a few moments but Ororo finally noticed Logan. The lightning in her hands disappeared, the wind died down, and her hair went back down to normal. She looked down at Logan and started to breath hard. Logan grabbed her hands. "'Ro it's me." he said,

"Logan?" She floated down and fell to her knees as her eyes went back to their normal blue color. "I'm sorry."

Logan kneeled down and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and she started the cry into his chest. "Logan..I'm sorry..."

"SHHH. It's okay." Logan said as he smoothed her hair.

"I'm just mad. I almost hurt my friends and family. I'm just relived that no one was hurt."

"Hey. I want you to listen to me." Logan said. He placed his hand on her cheeks and made her look at him. " It wasn't you and you know that. Besides, there is one good thing that came out of this whole thing."

"What's that?"

"It made me realize how much I love you." Logan said. "Made me realize, that if anything happened to you, I wouldn't be able to live."

"You love me?" Ororo asked, shocked.

"Yes." Logan answered. The next thing he knew, Ororo was kissing him. Logan responded, hoping this wasn't a dream.

Ororo pulled away after a minute. "Good, because I love you too." Ororo kissed him again.

END FLASHBACK.

A tear rolled down Ororo's cheek and she was interrupted when Sadie let out a soft bark. Ororo bent down and pet Sadie. Before leaving the green house, she watered the plants, for old times sake. She left with Sadie following and she walked to the pool. The pool was where, a kiss led them into making love for the first time. It was a little over a year after they had gotten together.

FLASHBACK 5 YEARS AGO

Ororo couldn't sleep. No matter how much time she spent trying to go to sleep, it didn't work. She finally looked at the clock and noticed it was 12:11 a.m. It was now August 14th. Her birthday. She was 26 years old. "Happy birthday Ororo." she whispered to herself. She walked out onto the balcony and felt the cool summer's breeze, it was beautiful. Deciding to take a swim, she put on a bathing suit, grabbed a towel and goggles before flying down to the pool. She stood at the edge of the pool, put on her goggles and dove in.

Logan, who was awake as well, heard the splash and looked out the window. He saw a figure moving in the water. He hurried downstairs and once at the pool he saw the moving figure was Ororo and relaxed. He sat down on the lawn chair and watched his girlfriend swim her laps. Ororo was too caught up in completing her goal for tonight, she didn't notice Logan watching her. 30...31...32...33...34...35 she thought. She stuck her head out of the water ans started to catch her breath. Taking off her goggles and holding her self out of the water, she noticed Logan. "Hey Logan."

"Hey. How many?"

"35...New lap record."

"What did you beat?"

"30"

"What are you doing up?"

"Couldn't sleep. You?"

"Same."

"Why don't you come in and swim with me?" Ororo suggested.

"...Okay..." Logan said. He stripped down to his boxers and jumped in. They swam, laughed, kissed and Logan finally said. "Happy Birthday 'Ro."

"Thank you Logan" Ororo said. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him and Logan deepened the kiss.

He wrapped his arms around her waist. Without breaking the kiss, they managed to get to the edge of the pool. Logan broke the kiss long enough to lift Ororo out of the water. He got out of the pool and made love to Ororo right on the lawn chair he was sitting on before. Then in her room.

END FLASHBACK

Ororo left the pool and went inside with Sadie. She decided to relive old times by making breakfast for the mansion. She'd been gone for four years and she missed cooking for 50 people. She made pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, and orange juice. She feed Sadie and when food was just about done, Diana came into the kitchen to see who was up this early to cook. "Ororo?" she thought she was dreaming.

"Hi Diana." Ororo said calmly.

Diana rushed over and hugged Ororo. "What are you doing here?"

"Well believe it or not.. for N'Dare."

"Really?"

Ororo nodded. "I asked her what she wanted for her birthday and she said that she wanted to meet her father." Ororo said. "I talked to Charles. and so we're here."

Diana walked over to the refrigerator and opened it. When she reached for the door Ororo saw a sparkle on her finger. She smiled."Is there something you want to tell me?" Ororo said as she put down the spatula because she was done cooking. Diana looked up. "Like that ring on your finger?"

Diana looked at the ring and smiled. "Kevin proposed to me last night. And you are the only person who knows."

"Really? So when's the wedding?"

"We just got engaged! But I know I want it to be soon." Diana said as she sat down and Ororo next to her. It was quiet for a minutes before Diana spoke up. "Did you meet up with Dad yet?"

"No. How are he and your mother?"

"Divorced."

Ororo froze. "Really?"

"Yes. They got a divorce not too long after you left. He still loves you Ororo. He never stopped loving you."

"And I love him but.." Ororo was interrupted by N'dare.

"Mommy?" she walked in and saw Diana. "Diana!" She jumped up and into Diana's arms.

"You're getting heavy."

"Mommy says the same thing."

"That's because it's true." Diana said.

"N'Dare, why don't you go upstairs and wash up for breakfast. My room is right next to yours. Go in there and use my bathroom."

"Okay." N'dare jumped off Diana's lap and ran out of the kitchen and upstairs, Sadie followed.

"She get's cuter every time I see her." Diana said.

"Yeah."

"What were you going to say before she came in?"

"What?"

"You said that you still love dad but.."

"But who knows what will happen. I leave and come back with his daughter, our daughter. Who knows how her will react? If he'll love her. I don't want him not to love her. We came all this way because she wanted to meet her father."

"Hey, don't say that." Diana said. "He'll love her just as much as he loves you."

"I really hope so."

Both students and teachers started to come down due to smell. All of them were surprised to find that Ororo was back and that she had a daughter. They met N'Dare and took an immediate liking to her. Before everyone sat down to eat, Logan came down and caught Ororo's scent. He followed the scent to the kitchen and found her. "Ro?"

Ororo turned and almost fainted. "Logan we have to talk."

"Yeah we do." he said.

"But not right now."

"The when?"

"After breakfast. There is something I have to tell you and it's very important."

While eating breakfast, Logan noticed a little girl sitting next to Ororo. He knew she was Ororo's daughter. After breakfast, Ororo and Logan met in the Rec Room while a few other people cleaned the kitchen. "Logan I know you saw the girl sitting..."

"Hi Mommy." N'Dare said as she walked into the room. "Who's that?"

"It's a really good friend. Why don't you go, get changed, and find Abigail to play." Ororo said.

"Okay" N'Dare said. She ran out of the Rec Room.

"Your Daughter, how old is she?"

"She's turning four in a few days...meaning that she's your daughter." Ororo said.

Logan stood there wide eyed.

Hope you liked it
