A/N would have updated sooner but I've only just finished all my ICT work. I bloody well hate it, I just had to write an evaluation about what my 3 HCI have in common, what was different about them, what hardware was used and what could have been used, which HCI was the best from the feedback, how the software helped to produce the HCI and if it was possible which software would be best to produce all three HCI's.

Well here we are at the final frontier. The last chapter, ill have you know that this is the first story I've ever completed. Thanks for reading it.

Chapter 19 (the final chapter)

It had been three months since Logan had confessed his love to Marie. Now she was sleeping in his room every night right at his side, never to leave again. Their relationship had blossomed to where Logan was short of picking names for the kids he wished to have. That was a while away though as they haven't done much more than share a bed and kiss a few odd times in the day. Not that he was complaining he loved just lying at night with Marie safe in his arms; he loved just talking to her about simple things such as how her day had been. He just loved everything about her. And it wasn't like they didn't want to or that they couldn't, because they could. It just wasn't right yet. The time wasn't right, their relationship wasn't at the right level, her words not his. He didn't want to fuck up his chance with Marie. So he will wait, take the time to understand her deepest thought and not the depth of her underwear as he had done with others.

Logan looked down at the woman snuggled close beside him. In these short months she has become to mean the world to him. He would keep her safe, he would make her happy. Her name sounded like heaven to him, just thinking it made him feel relaxed. She was his peace. It was a blessing that Frankie held that beautiful power within her. She did the work of God. He owned that little girl all his happiness.

"Logan, come on, you can't keep it a secret for ever. Where are we going?" Marie pulled back on Logan's hand trying to slow him down. He had woken her up just past 3am, she was use to him waking up at random hours but nether as he pulled her ass out of bed too. They reached a small clearing in the gardens of the mansion; he sat down on a bench that was under the shelter of an over-growing bush patting the space next to him for her to sit down. Doing so, Marie watched Logan stare at the stars.

"Its amazing how when I look at this starry filled sky, I feel calmed at the thought of being so insignificant." Logan's soft voice filled the silence as he still look up at the sky. Turning his attention to Marie he smiled and his eye's shone in the nightlight. "But you Marie aren't insignificant at all. The perfect rose pales in your complexion."

"That's cause I can suck the life out of it, ya big softy." Marie pushed his arm playfully. "Why you bring me out here in the middle of a very hot summer night at this hour?"

"Because." Logan smiled even harder at Marie and leaned in to kiss her soundly on her lips. He pt all his love and thankfulness for having her at his side into the kiss. It was soft, tender and very needy. Braking from her he looked her in her eyes. "I'm so grateful to have you Marie; I know i've fucked up royal in the past. God knows that I owe Frankie so much. All my life, what I can remember, I've made sure I never got attached to anyone. Never cared. But I do care now, I care about you Marie, a lot more than I ever have for anybody and I mean that."

Marie smiled softly, both of them knowing that that 'anybody' was jean. They still haven't spoken about her, both of them happy to leave it in the past. The future was what was important to them now. Marie knew something was eating Logan up inside for him to bring her out her in her nightclothes. In Hopes of encouraging him to speak what his heart is dying to say Marie spoke barely above a whisper. "I love you Logan."

"Marie." Logan said sombrely as his shoulders slumped and he stood up from Marie. He walked around in front of her, stopping time to time to turn to her and go to say something but never did. Marie watched from the bench her expression one of uncertainty, did she not say what he wanted to hear? Maybe he brought her here to end the relationship. She was too young for him, she had heard what some of the mutants have been saying behind their backs but would he take it seriously.

"I'm sorry Marie." He finally spoke. His face set in the grimace seriousness. "I'm going to have to take you for my wife."

At her cry of what, Logan's face lit up and he pulled her from the bench and into his arms. Placing kisses all over her face he whispered. "I've been thinking of asking you for a week or two now. And now that I know you love me, I'm not going to risk the chance of you falling through my fingers. Will you marry me?"

Tear's running down her face and her emotions working on overdrive, Marie looked into Logan's eyes and answered with a small 'yes'.

After they hugged and kiss for a while, Logan lead Marie around the garden as t hey spoke of wedding plans. It was agreed that the Kinsley's would act as Marie's family, which to her they was her family. The sun was raising as the reached the summer house, the flowers that was around the wooden fences was giving off a faint sent as the summer opened their buds to the world. Walking p the wooden steps Logan and Marie sat on the cushioned seat and watched the sun rise. Turning her face towards him, Logan spoke of his love for Marie. And as the sun broke on the new day the new engaged couple made love for the first time under its light. Each new day carried a new love.

The end.

A/N, took me longer than I thought to do this chappie even though it is rather short. I was stuck between detailing their sex abit more or leaving it private to the lovers. I was also thinking of writing the wedding part but it would have been pretty boring I guess.

Thanks for reading.
