Chapter 8
Three days passed by quickly and the LeBeau's were now in New York, in front of the museum sitting on the grass enjoying themselves. Apparently a very wealthy young man had leant three very priceless paintings, for a very important exhibit at the museum where a lot of important rich people would be attending tomorrow night... 'It'll be a shame that they'll never be able to see them.' Remy thought with a smirk, as he leaned back in the grass pillowing his head with his arms closing his eyes behind his sunglasses.
"Well what ya tink?" Henri asked with a smile as he sat next to him.
"I tink I'd love ta see their faces when that door opens and they only see three empty frames." He chuckled.
"So d'ya talk ta Xavier yet?"
Remy shook his head and watched Elena and Mercy play with Hunter as Olivier ran around playing with a few toys. "I'll drop by in an hour when they go off shoppin."
The hour passed a bit too quickly as Remy found himself starring at the school for gifted youngsters, sighing Remy walked along side the wall surrounding the school letting his fingers feel the rough surface and climbed over it silently making his way through the forest and crossing the huge yard. Remy decided to use the front door and be all nice...for now.
Ringing the bell Remy waited patiently. And was greeted by a big blue furry mass. "REMY...my stars and garters it is good to see you again, how have..." Hank was so happy to see the little thief.
"Where's Xavier I need ta talk ta him now." Remy gave off no emotion whatsoever.
"He's in the danger room with Jubilee and Logan, why what's happened?" Remy walked passed Beast making his way toward the danger room. "Remy wait." Remy turned to Hank. "Why are you here I thought you never..."
"Told ya homme need ta talk ta Xavier...now."
"Very well I'll call for him will you wait for him in his office?" Remy nodded and walked to The Professor's office, as Beast called to Charles telepathically.
Charles smiled as he watched Jubilee trip Logan. They were doing a normal martial arts program. "Don't think I didn't see that smirk on your face Chuck, this ain't funny." Logan grumbled. Which only made Charles laugh even harder. Then all of a sudden he became quiet. "What's the matter Chuck?" Logan made his way toward him.
"It seems we have a very special visitor in the mansion today."
"Oh yeah who is it?" Jubilee asked curiously.
Charles looked up, "Gambit."
Logan gawked at Charles. "You're kidding?"
"No he's waiting in my office, it seems he wants to speak to me..." Charles thought for a moment. "Well if you'll excuse me I shouldn't keep our guest waiting." Charles turned leaving the room and made his way to his office.
Remy was looking out the window then smirked as he heard the door opening. "My it is good to see you again Remy, how have you been?"
Turning to face Xavier, Remy crossed his arms. "Wonderful, until three days ago in Paris...tell me Professor what the fuck is wrong with Rogue?"
"Excuse me?"
"Three days ago, little Roguey followed me to my hotel room. Totally thrashing it, scaring the hell out of my wife, and threatened to kidnap my son...so I ask 'gain WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with Rogue?" For once in his life Charles was actually speechless. "Ya better keep a leash on her cause if she comes within a hundred feet from my family, I swear I will kill her."
"Remy there is no need for threats..."
"Yeah there are." Remy growled.
"She and the others should be arriving in a few hours, I will have a talk with her...Your married?" He asked quirking an eyebrow with the hint of a smile on his face.
"Yeah, ya didn't expect I'd be sulkin in a corner for nearly two years did ya?" Remy frowned as he looked outside.
"No of course not..." Charles smiled "You also have a son?"
Remy looked back to Charles. "Seven months old in three weeks." He answered as he leaned against Xavier's desk.
"How is your health?" Charles cringed at the question and the scowl that Remy gave but he had to ask.
"Better...Anyway homme I gotta go."
"Well it was good to see you again Remy, and please remember that if you ever need anything..."
"Not likely, and keep her away from us...see ya homme." Remy casually walked passed the Professor and left the mansion, taking out his cell phone he called for a cab, and noticed the students that crossed his path who knew him gasped and stared at him. He could hear them all whisper.
"Is that Gambit?"
"Oh my god..."
"What is he doing here?"
"Hey pup, how ya been?" Logan asked meeting him at the door.
"Just perfect Wolfie."
"If Storm were here she'd be tackling ya to the ground about now." Remy chuckled, "So what's with the visit thought ya hated our guts?"
"Came ta warn Xavier." Remy crossed his arms.
"Oh yeah 'bout what?"
"If he don't keep a leash on Roguey, I'll have no choice but ta kill her off."
"WHAT?"
"She threatened ta kidnap my son, if I didn't leave my wife."
"Your what...you have a kid...your married?" He looked at him totally surprised.
"Yeah, Wolfie look it's getting late I gotta go dey waiting for me."
"Yeah sure okay...your married man I can't believe it...well anyways congratulations pup."
"Yeah whatever, see ya." Remy made his way outside where he could see the taxi he had called earlier waiting for him behind the gate, Logan watched as he got in and drove away.
"Can't believe Gumbo's settled down...with a kid, now this I gotta see."
Meeting them for lunch Remy smiled as he entered the restaurant, kissing Elena then his boy, Remy sat down. "Every'ting go alright?" Henri asked him.
Remy nodded "Said he'd talk ta her and get her ta back off."
"Who?" Mercy asked.
Henri leaned back in his seat. "Da psycho."
"What she's here, how the hell did she find us now?" Elena was starting to panic as was Mercy.
"Nice going Henri...'lena calm down." Remy quickly hugged her close and whispered in her ear. "I went to talk to her boss, he said he'd get her ta back off."
Elena took a deep breath and nodded. "When are we going home?"
Remy smiled "If all goes well, which it should tomorrow night."
After lunch they went back to the park Henri was being chased by a hyper active Olivier as Mercy laughed when Henri hid behind her. Remy sat chuckling at the scene his back against a tree with Hunter sleeping on his chest Elena leaning her head on his shoulder, watching her baby sleep. Suddenly Remy tensed and looked around. "Remy?" Elena looked at him worriedly.
"Sorry Gumbo, I couldn't help it I had ta see for myself." Remy sighed as he spotted Logan walking up to them and kneeled by his side.
"Remy?" Henri kept his wife and son behind him.
"It's alright Henri..." He assured his brother, Remy whispered to his wife who the strange man was, then turned back to him. "Well Wolfie dis be my wife Elena." Logan nodded to her and smiled. "And dis little man here be Hunter."
Logan chuckled, "He's adorable, hope he doesn't pick up your habits or your charm."
"Your hilarious, ya know that homme?" Remy grumbled.
Logan started babbling in baby talk. Henry and Mercy joined them on the blanket, Olivier was now in Elena's lap giggling as she tickled him.
Elena laughed at the expressions Logan made towards Hunter.
Logan looked up then at Remy "Ya know pup, 'Ro really missed ya." Remy looked at him then followed his gaze seeing someone approach them from the sky and sighed. "Sorry pup I just couldn't take her crying herself ta sleep anymore."
Remy looked at him and grinned, "Say dat again homme and dis time listen ta yo'self."
"What?"
Henri grinned, "So how long you and the weather witch been seeing each other?"
Remy chuckled when Logan grunted. "About 2 weeks."
"Weather witch...you have a witch in your x-team thing?" Elena asked lying down while Olivier snuggled up to her.
Remy snickered and pointed up, "That is Ororo also known as Storm she can manipulate the weather..." He lifted Hunter until they were face to face "...and apparently she dating uncle Wolfie." Hunter grasped his father's face and giggled Remy kissed him and stood handing his son to Mercy. Then started walking towards the woman he had always considered his sister waiting until she landed. Remy smiled.
"Remy..." Storm stood still and had tears in her eyes.
Walking over to her he held his arms open and she immediately rushed in them, hugging him tightly. "Oh I've missed you so." she held him tightly then grasped his head in her hands looking deep in his eyes, she kissed his cheek and hugged him again.
"Missed ya too padnat, how ya been Stormy?" he asked while they were still in each other's arms.
"Better now." She answered as he brushed away her tears.
Remy led her back to the group sitting her down next to Logan he introduced her to his wife. Elena sat up careful not to wake up the now sleeping three year old and hugged the crying woman, while they were hugging Mercy gave back Hunter to his father "And dis little one..." He kneeled down, Storm gasped as she saw the bundle in his arms. "Is our little boy."
"Oh he's gorgeous." she started crying again looking to Elena then Remy she asked "May I..." Remy caught Elena's eye she smiled and nodded. Remy carefully put the babe in Storm's arms. "Hello there little one...Oh what is his name?"
Remy sat behind his wife hugging her close and leaned back against the tree as Elena proudly answered. "Hunter."
Elena tilted her head back resting it on her husband. "So...you have a sister?"
Remy chuckled "That would be a very long story dove, I'll tell ya later promise." He kissed her temple.
"Elena darlin' I really have to apologize for Rogue, she's been acting weird lately getting violent, tantrums and breaking stuff..." Elena just looked at him Logan then glanced at Remy. "...and how the hell were ya able ta stop her pup?"
Remy opened his eyes and looked at him. "Don know she just pissed me off, then the next thing I knew she was slammed in the wall...whatever..." Remy shrugged.
Logan quirked an eyebrow then Hunter started to squirm and wail. Elena looked at her watch then quickly took a blanket out of the baby bag and covered her chest, "That would mean 'I'm hungry.'" she smiled and held out her arms, Storm laughed and gave the babe back to his mother Elena leaned back, Hunter disappearing under the thin blanket and proceeded to feed her baby.
