Chapter 9:
The next morning, Ororo was first to wake up out of the two. She opened her eyes and felt a strong arm around her waist and another arm under her neck. She had two choices; one, stay in bed and wait for Logan to wake up or two, get out of bed. She decided to go with number one, stay in bed. She turned over so that she was facing Logan. Ororo raised her hand and took her hand and touched Logan's face. She lightly kissed him, and fell asleep a few minutes later. Meanwhile everyone was downstairs ands eating breakfast and they noticed Ororo and Logan were missing. "N'Dare, do you know where your parents are?" Rogue asked as she helped her two year old son, Jeremy eat. (A/N: Sorry I'm not good at her accent.)
N'Dare shook her head. "No."
"Do you think they're okay?" Kurt asked.
"Oh, I'm sure they're just fine." Jean said as she tried to hide a smile. Being the only two telepaths in the house, both she and Charles knew what happened between Ororo and Logan the night before.
It wasn't until 12:00 that Ororo and Logan woke up. They laid in bed and just laid in each others arms. Ororo had her head resting on Logan's chest and Logan had his arm around Ororo's shoulder. "We have to get out of bed." Ororo said.
"I know." Logan said.
They stayed still for a few minutes before Ororo spoke up. "We're not moving."
"So?" Logan said. He rolled over s that he was on top of Ororo and kissed her. "Let's just stay here for the rest of the day."
"We can't." Ororo said. Logan started to make a trail of kisses going down starting at her neck.
"Why?"
"One word. N'Dare."
Logan stopped at Ororo's right breast. He sat up and got off of Ororo. "Yeah.You're right."
"I think it's time she finally met her father." She sat up and held the blanket to her chest. "But first I think that we should take a shower."
She got out of bed and went to her bathroom. After five minutes, Ororo was rinsing her hair when Logan came in with out her knowing. He placed his hands on her hips and she jumped. Ororo turned around and saw Logan standing there. " You startled me."
"Sorry." Logan laughed. He kissed her on the lips and that led to them having sex right there in the bathtub. They didn't get out for another hour and Logan managed to make it to his room without getting caught. He left and Ororo got dressed in a pair of white hip-huggers and a black tank top. She put on white sandals and her hair in a low pony tail. She walked out of her room and saw N'Dare passing by. "N'Dare."
She turned around and smiled. "Hi mommy."
Ororo walked over and picked up her daughter. "How would you like to meet your father?"
"Really?"
"Yes. He wants to meet you and he's waiting." Ororo said. She carried her over to Logan's room a few doors down and put her down in front of it. "Are you ready?"
"Yeah." N'Dare said.
Ororo knocked on the door and they waited for Logan to answer. When he did, he saw Ororo and smiled. "Hey 'Ro."
"Logan, I want you to meet your daughter. N'Dare Gabrielle Monroe." Ororo said.
Logan looked down and saw N'Dare looking at him. He bent down. "Hey N'Dare."
"Hi daddy." N'Dare said in a soft voice. Logan smiled, he liked the sound of her calling him daddy.
Before he could react, N'Dare jumped up and hugged Logan. Logan acted immediately and returned the hug while standing up. They held on tight. A tear came down Ororo's face as she watched this. She needed a camera, this was a Kodak moment. "I love you daddy" N'Dare said just loud enough for Logan to hear.
"I love you too kid." Logan said.
N'Dare pulled away and saw Ororo. "Mommy why are you crying?"
Ororo got closer to Logan ad N'Dare and kissed her forehead. "I'm crying because I'm happy. And I'm happy because we're a family."
Logan pulled Ororo close and kissed the top of her head. "I love the both of you and that is never going to chance. I won't mess up again."
"And we love you." Ororo said. She leaned up and kissed Logan on the lips.
"Hey why don't we go out for ice cream" Logan suggested.
"Would you like that?" Ororo asked N'Dare.
"I love ice cream." N'Dare exclaimed.
"Well go to your room and get on your black sandals." Ororo said as she let out a laugh.
Logan set N'Dare down and she ran off as he and Ororo stayed in the hallway. They had their arms around each others waist and they looked into each other's eyes. "We still have a party to plan." Ororo said.
"Yeah." Logan said. "This is something I wouldn't miss for the world." He leaned down and captured Ororo's lips with his. They kept their grip on each other. During the kiss Remy and Rogue rounded the corner with Jeremy. They stopped when saw Ororo and Logan. Smiling, they turned and left the couple alone. They were happy because Ororo and Logan were apparently back together. Ororo pulled away and rested her head on Logan's chest. That's how N'Dare found. "I'm ready."
They got their ice cream and while eating N'Dare told Logan all her likes and dislikes. After ice cream, N'Dare was taken beck to the mansion so Ororo and Logan could get some of her birthday presents. The party was going to be a pool party and the theme was going to be Madagascar (1). Ororo took N'Dare to see the movie, and she loved it. Logan bought her toys and a new bike. All of that was added to the toys Ororo bought her when they were in Virginia.
Days past and everyone now knew that Ororo and Logan were back together, and they were happy for them. Logan and N'Dare got to know each other better. Logan and Ororo slept in the same bed because they found it was a habit that was hard break, being that they loved being in each others arms at night. The morning of N'Dare's birthday, she woke up early and woke up Ororo and Logan. She opened the attic door and quietly walked up stairs. She went over to the bed and jumped on it. "WAKE UP ITS MY BIRTHDAY."
This woke both Ororo and Logan. "Stop jumping." Logan said.
N'Dare stopped jumping. "N'Dare why don't you go to bed for another hour, and then you can bother us all you want." Ororo said.
"But it's my birthday." N'Dare pouted.
"It's 6:00. Give us an hour." Logan said.
"Okay." N'Dare said. She got off the bed and left the room.
"Does she do this every year?"
"Yes. Ever since she turned one she's been waking up earlier than she has to." Ororo said.
Logan laughed. "I guess she has an instinct for this huh?"
"Yeah she does." Ororo yawned.
"Let's get some sleep." Logan said
They fell asleep and woke up an hour later. They got dresses and checked on N'Dare and saw that she was asleep. Ororo wanted to cook breakfast so she made breakfast and that woke everyone up. Logan had to go upstairs and get N''Dare because she hadn't come down. Everyone said Happy Birthday to her. After eating breakfast, everyone did their own thing until it was time to get ready for the party. Vi, Carl, and Evan were coming at 12:00, that's when the party started. Ororo and Logan got changed into their bathing suit. Ororo put on her bathing suit, a light blue bikini. At 31 years old and after having a baby, had no stretch marks and her figure from before she got pregnant. Logan put on his swimming trunks and a muscle shirt.
A few minutes later Diana and Kevin returned from picking up some food for the party and the cake that said, 'Happy Birthday N'Dare' It had the four characters from Madagascar and n'dare was very happy. Everyone tool part in setting up for the party. Ororo and Jean put the high things up. All of the presents were brought outside by Kurt. The party started and N'Dare was the first one in the pool. Following her was Ororo and then Logan. Scott started to cook food on the grill. Lots more got in. Rogue decided to stay out for a while and talk with Kitty who was staying out for a while and who also five months pregnant.
At around 2:00 it was time to say happy birthday and cut the cake. In the middle of the cake was a big candle shaped like a four and four candles surrounding it. Logan lit the candles and everyone sang :
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday Dear N'Dare
Happy Birthday to You
"Now make a wish." Ororo said. "And blow out the candle."
"Okay." N'Dare said.
Logan and Ororo cut the cake and Jean served the ice cream. After all of the cake was served Ororo and Logan got their own cake and sat down at their own table. They were eating and Logan spoke up. "Ro we have to talk."
"What about?" Ororo asked.
"Tomorrow. I wanna know if you are going to leave or not."
"Well that's up to N'Dare. And I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to leave." Ororo said as she kissed Logan. "I know that I want to stay."
"And I know that I want you to stay." Logan said. He looked at his plate. "I'm going to gt more cake. Do you want anything?"
"Just a little bit more soda." Ororo said.
Logan took her cup and walked away. Logan cut himself a piece of cake and poured Ororo a class of soda. From his pocket he took out a round object and looked at it before he dropped it in the soda. (A/N: Don't worry it won't hurt Ororo. You will like what it is.) Logan took the cup back over to Ororo and sat down. "Thank you Logan." Ororo said before she took a drink.
"No problem."
"N'Dare came by while you were gone and guess what she said."
"What?"
"She said that she wanted to stay." Ororo said with a smile.
"Really?"
"Yes. She loves you Logan, and so do I. I don't think that we're going anywhere." Ororo said. A few minutes past and Ororo drank the rest f the soda. When she did, she felt a round hard object in her mouth. Just by the feel of it she knew what the object was. As she was taking it out of her mouth she started to cry. It was the engagement ring she had given back to him four years ago.
"I don't want you to leave Ro. I want you to be my wife. I want to have more kids for us to love. I can't spend anymore time away from you or N'Dare." Logan said grabbing her hand. "I want us to be married. I want us...to be a family."
Ororo didn't let Logan finished his little speech. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. She pulled away with even more tears coming down her cheeks. "I'll take that as a yes." Logan laughed.
"It's a yes." Ororo laughed. Logan slid the ring on Ororo's finger before kissing her again.
N'dare saw what just happened. Her wish came true.
