One Year Three Months After
" Rogue? Can you watch Jase for a couple of hours?" Van poked his head into Rogue's room.
" Sure." She closed the book she had been reading and swung her legs off the side of the bed.
" I wouldn't have asked you but you aren't going to the movie marathon and Jase is just too little to sit there for hours on end." Rogue smiled at the babbling boy.
" It's fine, I really don't mind. Where is he?" Jase's little head poked around the doorframe followed by his little body. " Come here sweetie." Rogue held her arms out as Jase ran to her.
" Thanks again Rogue. I'll be back around eleven."
" Take your time Van."
" Wogue?" Rogue smiled down at the little boy still clinging to her.
" Yes honey?"
" Can we watch a movie?" Rogue listened as the last elevator hummed its way to the top leaving her and three other people alone in the underground school.
" Of course. Come on, we'll go make popcorn too." Rogue hefted the little boy onto her hip, closing the door to her room behind her.

One Year Three Months One Days After
" We are so late." " Shh!" A few giggles escaped the motley, half-awake group coming back from the movie marathon.
" I hope Rogue didn't wait up." Van whispered to his girl, Jenny.
" She didn't." Jenny answered, pointing into the darkened leaving room where Rogue and Jase were sleeping on the couch.
" I should get him into his crib." Van started toward the two when Jenny pulled him back, planting a kiss on his lips.
" Let them sleep." Jenny pulled Van into their shared room, quietly closing the door behind them. Doors shut silently all along the hall, their occupants ready to go to bed.
Rogue pulled Jase closer, dreams for both silent for once.
Size is unimportant when it comes to comfort.
A/N: I'm sorry this took so long but my muse decided it wanted to go hide in Russia. Anyway, just a short little chapter filling in the time between Rogue arriving in California and Rogue calling the mansion. Cookies to Veronica and Star-of-chaos. As for everyone else… Where are my reviews?
Veronica, not much fluff in the way of Rogue/Scott but I really want to peg Rogue as a motherly type (which I think she is). Star, I don't pair Jubilee with anyone (when I remember to write her in at all). I try not to have Gambit appear in my stories because, hard as I try, I can't get his accent right.
Which might be the reason Kurt and Ororo haven't made an appearance…
Have a good life everyone, peace.
P.S. I hate QuickEdit!
