A little over a year and a half had passed after the X-men had left the LeBeau's house, the Professor had given strict orders especially to Rogue to never go back to New Orleans to look for Remy.
Rogue and Bobby who were now seeing each other, as well as Jean and Scott where in Paris on vacation, while visiting the very museum that Remy had stolen the jewels from. Rogue just happen to spot the Cajun with his brother and nephew looking very healthy, Rogue smiled and walked up to him but stopped when Remy turned and she saw a baby on his shoulder, little Hunter was now about six months old.
"What ya tink Mercy and Elena are doing now?" Henri asked as he lifted Olivier in his arms knowing very well what they were doing.
"Tsk tsk...Henri we are in Paris, what else would dey be doing. And why else would dey leave the petites with us."
"Why women have ta shop for everyt'ing I'll nevah understand, I just tink they're crazy."
"I heard that." Mercy walked to her husband and lightly kicked him in the shin.
Remy chuckled as his brother and Mercy feuded. While Elena crept up to his shoulder kissing her sweet little boy on top of his head, then her sweet husband lightly on the lips.
"Miss me?" she asked.
"Terribly..." Remy wrapped an arm around her waist and brought her close, kissing her temple. And gently led her to another exhibit, Olivier skipping ahead of them Henri and Mercy following behind.
Rogue couldn't believe her eyes, 'He has a...wife and a baby...' "No" she whispered.
"Hey Rogue come check this out." Bobby called out to her but she ran off.
That night it was raining really hard, Rogue had followed them to their hotel and after checking with the clerk at the desk flew up to Remy's room, landing on the balcony shivering from the rain and being soaking wet Rogue looked through the bedroom window, and tears ran down her cheeks at what she saw Remy was making love to a woman...the woman was sitting on top of him riding him while Remy held on to her hips as she caressed his chest, suddenly Remy grasped her arms pulling her to him as he rolled her on her back and thrusted faster she smiled and cradled his head hugging him close. Opening her eyes she spotted a figure out the window, panting Elena tried to speak through the pleasure she was feeling "Remy..." she gasped as he moaned, "Remy...there's someone...watchin in the window."
Remy's head shot up and looked towards the balcony breathing hard considering the position he was in he saw no one, waiting a few moments he turned back to his wife. "I don't sense anyone."
"MMmmm must have imagined it...Remy please...don't stop." She pleaded looking desperately in his eyes so that they could finish what they had started.
Not one to keep a lady waiting Remy smiled and pushed himself farther within her and continued to satisfy his wife until they were both exhausted. At around three o'clock in the morning, Elena's back was to Remy's chest. Holding her close to him Remy's head suddenly shot up as he felt a presence in their hotel room, quickly getting up and putting on a pair of pajama bottoms Remy went to check on Hunter.
When he opened the door he saw a figure above the baby's crib. "Ya lay a hand on my boy and I swear they'll never find ya body." He growled.
Feeling the bed move Elena looked up at Remy who was half dressed and rushed out of the room, not hearing her son cry out Elena quickly put on a robe and followed him, then froze at her husband's icy voice. Remy held up a hand to Elena signaling her to stay where she was.
Remy made his way towards the crib watching the intruder as she backed against the wall. Then gently picked up his son and slowly backed out of the room, checking him over Remy gave Hunter to his mother. Who stayed in the hall holding the sleeping babe tightly, Remy stayed at the door holding his wife by the waist her back to the wall.
"He looks just like ya." Rogue looked at him with tears still in her eyes, soaking wet, "Remy...I still love you." Rogue said desperately.
"What de hell are ya doing here?" he seethed.
"I saw you in the museum today."
"So ya followed me...what de hell?"
"Remy, I just...I can't stop thinking about you."
Remy was now furious, "Rogue I-HAVE-MOVED-ON, I'm married, I have a wife and son, I love them both, and I ain't gonna leave them for YOU, get the hell out of here."
Rogue took a few steps forward, "But Remy please," She sobbed.
"NON!" Looking to his wife, "Go ta Henri and Mercy's room, now...go."
"Ya can't just throw me off like that Remy." Rogue sobbed as she slammed her fist in a bureau shattering it to pieces.
Elena jumped "Remy?" starting to get scared of this Rogue woman.
"I'll be all right...Go." he whispered, hugging her baby closer to her, Elena quickly left the room and headed next door.
Frantically banging on the door, the baby now crying in her arms. Henri quickly opened the door. "Elena...what's wrong...where's Remy?"
"Some woman broke into our room, she just destroyed a big piece of furniture with her fist, it's in pieces...I don't know, she says she's still in love with Remy, she's freaking out."
"Alright get in here, lock da door." Henri went to his brother's room to see this crazy woman, although he had an idea of who it was. "Damnit." He whispered as he opened the door his eyes went wide as he ducked when a chair went flying over his head. "REMY...WHAT DE HELL?"
"All our time together didn't it mean anything?" Rogue hissed tears still streaming down her face.
"Stay back Henri..." Remy warned his brother, then looked back to Rogue. "What da hell are you talking about, YOU were da one who left me ta die remember, and now ya pissed off because I fell in love, GET OVER IT." Remy was so angry at her intrusion every time he yelled at her his eyes glowed a darker shade of red.
"Remy please I know we can make this work."
Remy glared at her, "Are ya insane...Non."
Rogue looked at him then turned her back, 'I've lost him...no I can't...I won't...' Remy watched her every move and noticed how she clenched her fists, then stood straight. "If I can't have you then I'll have to settle for a part of you." She whispered.
Remy's eyes widened at what she was referring to, "Don't even think about it!" he seethed.
She turned back. "Ya give me no choice."
"Remy?" Henri asked totally confused.
"She wants Hunter..."
"WHAT...Non don't even dare ya psycho bitch!"
"SHUT-UP..." She yelled, and then stopped as she heard a baby crying next door. Rogue immediately levitated and prepared to burst through the wall but was thrown to the other side of the room by an unknown force.
"HENRI, GET THEM OUT OF HERE NOW!" Remy walked across the room grabbing a shirt an putting it on, throwing a chair out of his way he grabbed an ashtray from a nearby table and watched as Rogue slowly got to her feet.
Henri didn't need to be told twice he quickly went back to his room. "We gotta go now." He told his wife and sister in law.
"Why...where's Remy?" Mercy was quickly dressing an annoyed Olivier who really didn't want to wake up just yet.
"No questions, he'll be fine we have ta go now?"
"Henri?" Elena tried to calm the baby, Henri gently grasped her by the arm to make sure that she was listening.
"That psycho bitch wants Hunter." Elena was horrified and looked around frantically. Holding her baby tightly against her. Henri grabbed her arm as well as Mercy's who was holding their three year old. And led them both to the elevator...which took forever to get up to their floor. They could here stuff smashing against the walls, and crashing to the ground in Remy's room. Then a huge explosion which shook the entire hotel you could hear car alarms going off outside. Elena had tears in her eyes and kept looking at the door of hers and Remy's room. Then all of a sudden except for the sound of Hunter's crying and the alarms everything became quiet.
Remy was so pissed off at her trying to kidnap his son, the moment he saw her about to go through that wall, Remy felt this weird surge of power within. He blinked and then found Rogue across the room. Not knowing what the hell just happened Remy acted quickly. "HENRI, GET THEM OUT OF HERE NOW!" then grabbing a shirt he put it on and stared at Rogue again hoping that whatever just happened would do so again. As she slowly stood facing him.
"I don't know what just happened, but it ain't gonna stop me."
"Your...not...taking...my...boy." Remy warned charging the ashtray in his hand behind his back.
Rogue smirked, "You...can't...stop...me."
Remy narrowed his eyes and saw Rogue being violently slammed against another wall and then slumped to the ground. Again slowly getting up she panted looking at Remy then suddenly her clothes caught fire. Screaming she flew outside so the rain could douse the flames. Looking back at Remy she watched as he threw the ashtray at her hitting her straight in the chest it exploded at full force. Falling towards the street below, Remy looked out the balcony and saw Jean fly up to Rogue catching her in a protective bubble that gently carried the now injured Rogue onto solid ground.
Now hyperventilating Remy grabbed at his head and fell to his knees, his hands felt as if they would burst into flames, desperately as he tried to calm himself and control the flow of energy that he felt coursing through his veins Remy held his breath then heard a baby cry, his eyes snapped open ignoring the pain he felt, Remy slowly stood as he took a few calming breaths the pain started to cease and so Remy quickly ran out to the hall.
The doors to the elevator finally opened, as Remy came out of the room. Henri looked at him extremely relieved. "Remy, evry'ting alright?" Henri asked cautiously.
Remy sighed and nodded his head making his way to Elena and hugged his now crying wife tightly refusing to let her go.
"What happened?" Henri continued.
"Don't know, I just got so pissed at her, then she was slammin in the walls, and she caught fire...she flew out da window and I knocked her out with a charged ashtray...Jean saved her life." Remy then looked at his son releasing a shaky breath, and smiled. "Hey little man, come 'ere." Elena smiled and gave Hunter to her husband, who once being in his father's arms stopped crying. "Ohh, ya all right?"
"Do we still have to leave?" Mercy asked, Henri looked at him as well.
"Our room is totally thrashed, and she does recover quickly, I say yeah we still leave."
"Alright then let's just get our stuff." Henri said rushing back to his room while Remy led Elena inside carefully putting Hunter in his portable baby seat kissing his forehead, Remy quickly helped Elena pack their things and getting dressed, throwing the bags over their shoulders Remy picked up the handle to Hunter's baby seat. Meeting his brother in the hall, cell phone in hand calling a few cabs, as well as another hotel.
Bobby
was waiting patiently in his room for Rogue, while Jean and Scott went
to look for her it had been almost ten hours since she had run off from
the museum.
"Why the hell did she run off like that, I thought she and Bobby were doing great?" Scott asked Jean.
"I don't know she told me she was happy a few days ago...what time is it anyway?" Jean yawned, leaning her head on Scott's shoulder as she wrapped her arm around his.
Looking at his watch Scott frowned, "It's three thirty." Then suddenly they heard an explosion and looked up. "Oh my god is that Rogue?"
Jean looked up at her falling friend and immediately took to the air, capturing her in a protective bubble, Jean looked at her, "ROGUE...ROGUE ANSWER ME."
Gently putting her on the ground Jean and Scott tried desperately to wake her.
"C'mon Rogue wake up." Scott tried to gently shake her awake.
Sensing someone familiar Jean looked up and gasped as she saw Remy get out of the hotel and rushing to one of the nearby cabs with a strange woman, his older brother going in the second one with a woman of his own. Quickly throwing their bags in the trunk, the cabs rode off.
"Scott that was Remy."
Scott
quickly looked at the retreating cabs, and sneered. "You mean Remy did
this to her?" Jean only glanced at him then put her attention back on
Rogue.
"It's been two years can't he let it go?"
"Just follow dat cab homme." Remy told the cab driver.
"Remy..." Elena looked at him pleadingly.
Knowing what she was going to ask Remy whispered, "I'll tell ya later chère, when we're settled in alright?" smiling she nodded and caressed Hunter's cheek. Remy leaned his head back and took a deep breath, after about forty-five minutes the cabs stopped at a hotel.
As they settled in for the night, Remy laid down in bed waiting for Elena. She was making sure that Hunter was comfortable. Changing into a t-shirt and boxers, she crawled on the bed laying her head in the crook of Remy's neck, "Are you going to tell me know?"
"Her name's Rogue she's an X-man...I used to love her." Remy shrugged "Anyways she's the one who left me to die in Antarctica. 'parently she still in love with me..."
Elena lifted her head crossing her arms on Remy's chest she rested her head on them. "Why did she want Hunter?"
"She said dat if she couldn't have me she'd take him instead." Remy growled then brushed a few hairs behind her ear, gazing at her eyes Remy calmed down a bit leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Ya tired my dove?" he asked running his hand down her arm and moving her on top of him, Elena giggled.
"Mmhmmm." Elena kissed him tenderly straddling his chest, his hands caressing her ankles to her thighs; Remy ran his tongue on her lower lip and deepened the kiss. As Remy was about to go a little further, Elena smirked wickedly and pushed him down gently. Slowly getting off him Remy quirked an eyebrow at his wife.
"You have got ta be kiddin me chère..."
"I'll make it up to ya I promise, it's almost four and Hunter'll be up in a few hours." Elena pouted, Remy grunted wrapping his arms around her waist and kissed her passionately. When he broke the kiss she was panting and dazed, smirking Remy laid her down her back to his chest. And covered them in a blanket holding her possessively they both fell asleep.
It was now six in the morning and they were jolted awake by a crying baby, whining Remy held on to Elena more tightly. "Rem...?" Elena smiled, as she was pulled closer to his chest. "Sweetie I have ta get Hunter." Remy lazily opened his eyes.
"Ya promise ta come back in here da moment ya pick him up and I'll let ya go."
Kissing his forehead she swore that she would return with their little bundle of joy, getting up she quickly made her way to her little sweetie, "Well good morning ta you too," she cooed at him making him giggle. Picking him up she cleaned and changed him and as promised returned to the bedroom where her husband still lay unmoved.
Settling on the bed she got herself comfortable lifting her shirt Elena proceeded to feed her baby, Remy opened one eye, smiled and hugged his wife by the waist, leaning his head on her shoulder and nuzzled her neck. Watching Hunter, Remy ran his thumb against his son's cheek. Hearing the slow breathing of his wife Remy looked up and chuckled, Elena was fast asleep. Waiting until little Hunter had had his fill Remy carefully picked him up and covered his wife with the blanket and whispered to his boy. "Let's let ya maman sleep fo awhile, eh little man?" Remy was answered by a small burp.
Remy was walking in the living room of his hotel room the baby leaning on his shoulder. When there was a knock at the door, opening the door Henri looked at his little brother. "We need ta talk...where's 'lena?"
Remy yawned, "Sleepin'..."
"Alright I told Mercy ta check in on her later, but we need ta talk now..." Henri tickled the little babe's chin. Remy gave him to Henri so he could get dressed. Quickly putting on a pair of dark blue jeans a black T-shirt and his black leather jacket Remy picked up Hunter's baby bag and wrote a note for Elena leaving it along with a single red rose next to her pillow and kissed her lips lightly. Making his way to the living room Remy watched as Henri put little Hunter in his baby seat buckling him in. "The Café near here is open, I desperately need a coffee."
Remy chuckled. "Yeah Francois makes da best coffee." Glancing out the window it was still pouring Remy put a blanket over his boy so he wouldn't get wet and carefully lifted the baby seat, and followed his brother as he led the way to the Café.
After a few minutes Remy sat down in a booth uncovering Hunter and tickling his chin, while his brother went to get the coffee and a few croissants. Remy yawned as Henri arrived. "Ah man what time is it?"
Henri looked at his watch. "Almost six-thirty."
"Ah man..." Remy stretched his arms until he heard them pop. "So what d'ya wanna talk ta me bout?" he asked sipping his coffee savoring the warmth it gave his body.
"Dat little bitch from dis morning...Père said dat Xavier specifically told those x-assholes ta stay away from ya, now we got a job in New York in three days, and our families are coming with us, that little psycho better not start up anymore crap. Especially with Hunter. Père and da Guild ain't gonna stand for dat."
"Don' worry she ain't gonna come within a hundred feet from 'em...Ain't dat right my little man?" Remy tickled Hunter making him laugh. The waitress and a few customers turned their heads at the laughing baby and smiled at the scene.
After finishing their coffee Hunter became a little annoyed, so Remy took him out of his seat and cradled him to his chest. Noting the time which was a little after seven. "Alright tink your maman's had enough torture without ya around?" Remy asked kissing his forehead and covered him with a blanket it was still drizzling rain outside.
"I'll get some coffee maybe it'll calm the ladies down a little bit." Henri chuckled, getting up to place another order. On their way back to the hotel they didn't notice Scott and Bobby across the street running towards the café to avoid getting wet.
