" Scott can I talk to you for a minute? Alone." Rogue added as Logan continued to sit where he was. Scott glared at the other man before standing up as well.

" Something wrong?" He asked quietly once they were down the hall a little ways. Rogue licked her lips before taking a deep breath.

" I'm going to tell Professor Xavier. Not that he doesn't already probably know what with out 'lessons' and everything. Oh god, what am I going to do? I mean, if I tell him that will get Logan into some very deep trouble and oh I don't know anymore, maybe I shouldn't? What do you think?" Rogue said all of this in a rush; the words tumbling from her lips like her life depended on it. Scott grabbed onto her shoulders, getting closer than he had since that night in her room, forcing her to look into his visor.

" You should tell Professor X. Logan will get what's coming to him." Scott did his best not to breathe too deep or look directly into Rogue's deep brown eyes. He knew that if he did he'd get lost. Luckily she ducked her head down, nodding in agreement.

" Alright, I'll go tell him. Just… don't get Logan mad again." She said, fear in her eyes when she looked up at him. Scott looked at her in concern, concentration causing him to frown.

" What do you mean?" Rogue made a fluttery gesture with her hand towards her head.

" He… he got mad because you knew. Called me a slut and other stuff like that."

Scott waited as Rogue paused knowing there was something else. " And?"

" And I got a updated version of Logan in my head." She said quietly, knowing the words would make Scott angrier.

" What did he do?"

" Nothing to bad, just tried to choke me." Rogue managed to say it with a smile because in her way of thinking it honestly wasn't too bad.

" I'll kill him." Scott said vehemently, but Rogue was faster, grabbing onto his arms and pulling him back in front of her.

" Scott, don't. Please. He'll get kicked out just as soon as I tell Professor X. No worries."

" No worries." Scott bent down impulsively and kissed Rogue on the lips quickly. " But I am not going back into that room with him." Rogue smiled stretching up on tiptoes just as quickly.

" And I won't make you. See you tonight." Rogue scurried off before Scott could react to her lips on his again. God, what this girl does to me. He thought before deciding to go to his room and take a cold shower.

" Rogue, good, take them." Jubilee said, intercepting Rogue in the hallway. She shoved the little kid into Rogue's arms.

" Fifteen minutes, I just need to talk to the Professor." Rogue said, trying to re-transplant the kid.

" Whatever it is it can wait. I'll be back in twenty." She said, taking the steps two at a time.

" God can't your little fuck sessions ever wait?" Rogue muttered as Jubilee disappeared around the corner.

" Wogue." The little kid in her arms said.

" Yeah?"

" I don't feel so good." The boy answered sounding twice as pathetic as normal.

" Okay, let's go lay you down for a nap, that should make you feel all better." Rogue answered, snuggling her nose against the pudgy little kids neck, making him smile weakly.

Rogue managed to get all the kids settled down to a nap as she thought blankly in the corner. Jubilee and Bobby seem to have found something in each other… or at the very least a way to release certain tensions… Rogue just sighed again as her eyes started closing slightly.

" Okay, I'm back." Jubilee said loudly trying to finger brush her hair back into place. She woke a few of the smaller children with her noise. " Oh shut up!" She snarled in the children's direction. The older ones crawled sleepily over to the little ones and tried to get them back to sleep.

" Shh. Now I know why they don't like being left with you. So, Bobby have a good ride?" Rogue asked sweetly as she past by Jubilee. The girl just hissed at her. Rogue continued to smile the entire way down to Professor Xavier's office.

" Sir?" Rogue asked, knocking as she opened the door. Normally Professor X didn't have anyone in a meeting with him at this time of the day. Today was different, very different.

" Did you need something Rogue?" Rogue just stood there with her mouth opening and closing.

" Uh, um… I, um… god J-je… Jean?" Rogue asked finally, shocked and unhappy with the person sitting calmly in one of Xavier's overstuffed leather armchairs.

" Hello Rogue. Nice to see you again."

Sometimes things thought lost and forgotten come back… and bite you right in the butt. Hard.

A/N: Well, they needed something else as a bump in the road. You don't think I was gonna make it easy for Rogue to be happy, did you? For anyone who did, fifty laps around the gym. Just kidding, but seriously.

Next chapter should be a continuation of this one. That's the only thing I don't like about jumping around I give you guys cliff hangers then take forever to explain/finish them.

Hope everyone enjoyed and I actually get a review for this chapter (hint, hint) Talk to everyone later. Have a good life, catch ya on tha flipside.
