Chapter 12
After saying goodbye to Storm, Logan, Hank and the Professor who looked at him rather worriedly, Lapin, Remy and his family were finally heading home to New Orleans. Stepping out of the plane Remy breathed in the humid air and smiled. "Ah feel bettah already."
Hailing a cab and arriving at the LeBeau home they could hear the screech of excited people within, then the front door quickly opened and out came Olivier, Mercy, Henri and Mattie. "Un'cle Emy!" Olivier shrieked and latched himself to Remy's left leg, "Up...Up..." he giggled wanting desperately to be in his uncle's arms.
Slowly kneeling down Remy ran his hand through the boy's hair. "I'm sorry 'livier, but I can't lift ya up just yet." Remy pouted. Olivier didn't care instead the little boy wrapped his arms around his uncle's neck and gave him a big hug. "Ohhh I missed ya too petite." After getting his hug he ran to Elena, who after handing the baby seat which held a sleeping Hunter in it to Mercy picked the three year old up and hugged him tightly kissing his cheek.
"Oh get over here chile." Remy grinned as Mattie held out her arms.
"I'm comin...gimme a minute..." Remy grimaced as he stood up an arm at his ribs. "...or two...ouch."
"Oh my poor chile..." Mattie continued and gently hugged Remy.
"Tante if ya don' let him go, I will pry those arms of yours off him..." Henri chuckled, as Mattie glared at him and let Remy go making her way to Elena then to Hunter. Henri stepped forward and hugged his brother. "How ya doin petit frère?" He asked.
"I've had bettah days...just glad ta be out of dat mansion." Henri laughed and gently patted him on the back.
"Alright, alright quit hoggin my boy." Jean-Luc walked down the stairs and looked Remy over from head to toe. "Come 'ere." He commanded Remy smiled and did as his father asked. Very carefully Jean-Luc held his son close and kissed his cheek grasping his head he looked at his eyes. "Are ya all right?" Remy nodded and smirked as Hunter gave out a cry.
Grinning mischievously Jean-Luc went ta Mercy. "Dis be where your hiding, come 'ere." Hunter laughed at his grandfather. Jean-Luc gently picked him up kissing his forehead and resting the baby against his shoulder. "Ya got big mon p'ti ange."
Remy rubbed at his hands, feeling a little tingle within them shrugging it off he smiled as Elena made her way to him holding on to his arm and resting her head against his shoulder. "He's startin ta crawl to." Elena smirked.
Jean-Luc looked up surprised, "Already, pretty soon you'll be ready fo a lock pick." He chuckled.
After a very long day of eating and conversing at the LeBeau house, Jean-Luc insisted that they spend the night. "Stupid cast." Remy whined sitting on the side of his old bed and grabbed a pencil to scratch that annoying little itch on his arm. Elena giggled on the other side of the bed as she laid Hunter down in the crib next to the bed.
"My...dear husband you seem tense..." she smiled wickedly.
Remy
turned to her. "I do?" he smirked leaning on his elbows as she nodded.
Lifting up her skirt she kneeled on the bed and crawled to her husband.
Arriving
at his head she stared at his eyes, "What ya planning in dat pretty
little head of yours?" he asked curiously as she ran her hands on his
jaw feeling the now prickly skin as he hadn't shaved the last few days.
She smiled as she gave him a small peck on the nose.
"Do not move..." she ordered, getting off the bed and running in the bathroom.
Remy looked at her, 'Oh, oh dis can't be good ol' boy.' He thought to himself. "Dis ain't gonna hurt is it?" he snickered. She just leaned back from the bathroom and looked him over with a disapproving frown, then went back to what she was doing. Remy sighed and lied down on the bed closing his eyes. About to fall asleep from the soothing sound of water... 'Wait a minute, why is dere water running?' "What are ya doing woman?" he drawled out. Elena smiled as she made her way to him grabbing his belt and shirt she pulled him into a sitting position. "Are you ill?" he asked as he faced her.
"Come on..." she pulled him to his feet and led him to the bathroom.
"Where we goin'?"
"You are taking a nice long relaxing bath..."
"I am?" he smirked.
"Yes ya are..." she chirped taking off his belt and tugging at his shirt, lifting his arms Remy surrendered to his wife as she started to fuss over him, unbuttoning his jeans she smiled mischievously, gently she took off the bandages around his chest grimacing at the purple and green coloring of his skin.
Remy then got in the bath leaning his head on the rim of the tub, and closed his eyes. Savoring the warmth of the water as it soothed his tense muscles, stripping off her clothes as well Elena wrapped a robe around her body, and brought out a box. "Hey don't ya fall asleep on me, lean forward."
Remy did as she asked sitting on the edge Elena dipped her legs in the water resting them at Remy's sides tilting his head forward, Elena massaged the back of his neck as he ran his hands down her legs to her ankles. Elena smiled, as Remy seemed to purr, reaching for the box beside her, Remy looked around. "And ya stoppin why?" he grinned. Elena forced him to lean back and tilted his head to the left exposing his right cheek, Remy saw the contents of the box and chuckled. "Ya know how ta use that?" he teased.
Taking the razor in her hand and flicking it open to reveal the sharp blade within, Elena laughed maniacally, "Well soon find out, now don't move sweetie."
Remy laughed nervously to tease her. Kissing his cheek she spread the shaving cream on his jaw and proceeded to carefully shave her husband.
Now cleanly shaven without any nicks, cuts or a bleeding jugular. Elena had taken off her robe and joined her husband in his bath leaning Remy's back against her she ran her left hand in his hair and leaned her head on his shoulder as her right hand gently brushed a soft cloth across his chest. Remy had his eyes closed and caressed her right leg where her knee was above the water. Enjoying his wife's attentions very much.
Kissing the back of his neck Elena gently pushed him forward. "Ahh don tell me we done already?" Remy pouted.
"You my love need sleep..." she giggled getting up and drying herself with a towel Remy leaned back crossing his arms across his chest and watched his wife with an amused look. "Don even think about it." She grinned putting on a pair of pajama bottoms and a shirt. "Alright get up my sweet little thief." She cooed, Remy couldn't help but laugh then groaned.
"Ahh don make me laugh dove..." helping him out of the tub, Remy dried off while Elena got the bandages for his chest putting on a pair of pajama bottoms Remy grinned as he watched her approach swaying her hips, "You are not helpin Remy movin' like dat chère..." he chuckled.
"Gives ya something ta look forward to when your healed, ya only aggravated your injuries last time we were together." She scolded.
"Remy couldn't help it dove..." he leaned forward and kissed her forehead caressing her cheek.
"Arms up..." She ordered, Remy did as he was told and wrapped his arms around her neck, leaning his forearms on her shoulders gently flexing his hands as he felt a little pain in them but it quickly went away as she carefully wrapped the cloth around his midriff. When she was done she stood on her toes and kissed him sweetly. "Bed now..." she took his right arm and led him to their bed for the night, checking on Hunter who was sound asleep, Elena snuggled up to Remy and fell asleep.
That morning Remy and Elena were sleeping soundly Remy was on his left side Elena had her hand on his right shoulder her head nuzzled against his neck, Hunter though was wide awake babbling and playing with his feet, Mattie passed by the room not hearing any movement, she slowly opened the door and went to Hunter. "Hush chile, let's let ya maman an' papa sleep in uh." She whispered picking up the baby and headed downstairs closing the door as quietly as possible.
"Ya gonna help ya ol Tante cook breakfast?" she asked the babe who cried out in excitement, waving his arms and kicking his legs.
Preparing the baby's food she sat him in the high chair as Hunter bounced and cried his eyes growing big at the food approaching his mouth.
"Oh dat looks good yes it does..." Jean-Luc cheered and chuckled kissing the babe's head. Mattie laughed at Jean-Luc's antics it had been a while since she heard him babbling like this. Jean-Luc then looked at his watch. "They still sleepin?"
"Yes they are and don't ya dare wake 'em." Mattie hissed.
"Non non," he chuckled he didn't want to go through Mattie's wrath if he did, then looked ta Hunter. "Ya wanna spend da day with ya grand-père p'tit ange?" he asked as Hunter waved his tiny fists in the air. After eating and being cleaned up Jean-Luc took his little grandson for a walk in the park.
A few hours later the loving parents woke up, noticing that Hunter was gone, they both figured that Mattie or Jean-Luc had took him, not bothering to change clothes Remy put on a shirt and grabbed Elena by the arm dragging her downstairs.
"Well morning my sweets." Mattie greeted, "An before ya ask, Your père took Hunter out for a walk."
Remy smiled and kissed his Tante's cheek "Mornin' Tante."
"Ya feelin' any bettah?" she asked,
Remy nodded as Elena rested her chin on her husband's shoulder and wrapped her arms around his waist, Remy ran his hands on hers, and leaned back on his wife. "Hmmm dat smells good Tante."
"Well sit down children, and let Tante feed ya..."
After an hour of walking Jean-Luc entered his favorite café and sat down at a table putting Hunter in his lap he bounced the now seven-month-old on his knee.
"Well good-morning M'sieu LeBeau...your usual?" the waiter asked Jean-Luc nodded. "And for the young one?" he smiled as Hunter giggled.
"Ah nothin, I'll take da coffee ta go...I gotta get dis one back home, before his maman hurts me." The waiter laughed and left to get the man's coffee.
When Jean-Luc arrived home, Hunter greeted his parents who were sitting outside on the bench in front of the house with an excited screech.
"Did you have fun?" Elena cooed making her way to her little boy, kissing his cheek.
"Course he did..." Jean-Luc grinned, "Also needs a change...Here ya go maman..." Grandpa LeBeau laughed as he handed over his grandson to his mother.
"Aha your grandpa's funny ain't he...well we'll just leave him a little surprise fo later now won't we..." Elena laughed maniacally and went in the house to cleanup her little sweetie.
Jean-Luc eyed Remy something just didn't look right, sitting beside his son, he asked "How ya doin' petite?"
"I'm in N'Arleans, no X-Men, an my famille with me...m'all right." Remy grinned as he stretched and leaned his head back, enjoying the warmth of the sun's rays warming his body. Jean-Luc noticed how Remy kept wiggling his fingers and clenching his hands. Sitting back Jean-Luc figured that it was because of the accident that happened in New York but decided to still keep a close eye on his boy.
Three months later Remy who now back in his home at the loft was amazingly almost completely healed, he could now do a back flip without grimacing in pain. Hunter was now ten-months old.
Elena was out shopping with Mercy, Remy had laid a blanket on the bedroom floor sitting Hunter on it with a few toys. Remy was doing push-ups to strengthen his left arm glancing at his son Remy laughed not stopping his little work-out as Hunter crawled his way to him, now nose to nose. Remy leaned forward and kissed him on the forehead. "Where ya goin?" he asked as if he didn't know. Hunter crawled to his father's right side babbling nonsense as usual, apparently every object in the room was more fun to play with than his toys.
Glancing around to make sure that he or Elena hadn't left anything that would be hazardous for their son to play with, Remy continued his push-ups keeping his spatial awareness ability on his son so he'd know where he was in the room. Not that he wouldn't know, Hunter would never cease to babble unless he was eating or sleeping. "Ya getting yourself inta mischief little man?" he asked his son, who let out a shriek in reply, "Thought so...whatcha doing?" Remy stopped sat with his knees drawn up and leaned his arms on them. Hunter was sitting looking at the wall, "What is so interesting' bout dat wall?" he chuckled.
Hunter looked at him and clapped his hands, then started crawling again, "Your gonna have a lot of explaining ta do when ya learn ta talk fiston..." Remy smiled and continued his push-ups.
An hour later Elena arrived home, putting her purchases on the counter "'ello..." she called out, no answer putting away the groceries she took the last three bags and went to Hunter's room and put the diapers and such away, making her way to her room she stopped at the door and gawked at the sight, Hunter was sleeping on a blanket curled up in one of Remy's shirts and her husband was covered in sweat, wearing nothing but a pair of khaki pants doing one armed push-ups. Elena was chewing on her bottom lip, a hand to her mouth. She hadn't even noticed Remy calling out to her.
"...'lena..." Remy sang out, as he laid flat on his stomach watching his wife.
"Wha?" she blinked.
Remy chuckled "Enjoying da view chère?"
"What...you mean you...doing push-ups...half naked...covered in sweat...muscles...bulging everywhere?"
Remy tried very hard not to burst out laughing. "Yah."
"Absolutely..." Elena walked into the room then got on her knees and crawled next to Hunter and kissed his cheek. Then crawled to her chuckling husband who was now lying on his back where she sat atop him. "So how long has our little bundle of mischief been sleeping?"
Remy smiled at the 'mischief' part. "'bout twenty minutes..." he answered.
"Really?" Elena grinned and ran her hands down Remy's chest and leaned down to kiss his lips, Remy ran his hands up her arms and cupped her face deepening the kiss, Elena moaned and chuckled when they heard Hunter giggle. "Of course..." Elena smiled. "You my little sweetie are supposed to be sleeping."
Hunter only babbled, Remy chuckled "Well chère, guess dis will have ta wait til later..." Remy sat up giving her a quick kiss wrapping his arms around her waist and smiled when she pouted.
Grinning mischievously Elena wrapped her arms around his neck. "Ya think you'll have enough energy after your little work out?"
"Is my lovely sweet wife a bit...what's da word?"
"Horny yes she is..." Elena answered plainly tilting her head to the side.
Remy laughed softly and rolled gently laying her on the ground, "You will be beggin' Remy ta stop, I can guarantee ya that..." With that said Remy tweaked Hunter's nose and stood heading for the shower.
That night dinner was eaten, dishes were cleaned, and baby was washed, clothed and put to bed. Music was on Elena was cleaning the living room getting ready to settle down on the couch to watch a movie, Remy approached his wife in the living room a bowl of popcorn in hand setting it down, Remy sneaked up behind his lovely wife and grasping her hips he moved her body with his to the rhythm of the music. Elena smiled as she leaned into him "Ya gonna dance with me chère?" he breathed in her ear, sending a shiver down her spine and kissing her neck. Elena laughed as he twirled her, now facing him Elena wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her forehead on his.
"Hmmm we haven't danced like this in a while..." Elena grinned.
"Should do it more often..." Remy whispered as he inhaled the sweet scent of her hair and kissed her temple. Taking a step back Remy twirled her again wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her back flush against his chest, grasping her hips Remy stopped dancing and gently caressed her body, his left arm around her chest while his right hand went to her throat to tilt her head back kissing and sucking at her neck, Elena let out a soft moan as his left hand went down and under her top to her stomach gently caressing the warm flesh. Remy then captured his wife's lips with his own kissing her demandingly. Grabbing at his right arm Elena turned in his embrace and took a step forward forcing Remy to step back, when his legs hit the couch Elena pushed him on and landed on top of him, smirking as she lifted her top throwing it on the floor. Running her hands in his hair and tugging at his shirt. Remy then ran his hands down her thighs and grasped the flesh lifting her up. Elena who was now straddling his chest kissing him feverishly moaned in his mouth as her very talented thief's skilled hands caressed her body.
Elena leaned back as Remy sat up and took off his shirt looking at his wife with lust filled eyes. Elena worked on his pants while Remy lifted her skirt, Remy gently pushed her down on the couch and slowly crawled on top of his wife kissing the tanned skin of her legs, stomach, chest, shoulder, neck then stopped at her lips, watching as she panted. Settling himself between her legs Remy trapped his wife beneath him. "Is there a reason why you stopped?" she asked with a wicked grin.
Remy chuckled as he ran his right hand down her stomach to rest between her thighs stroking her. Elena gasped and glared at her husband, running her hands down his biceps Elena moaned louder. Then lifted his head and kissed him passionately Remy groaned as Elena rubbed herself against him, kissing down her neck Remy was now at her entrance and grunted when Elena wrapped her legs around his waist and pushed him inside her. Remy grinned as he sat up and lifted his wife in his lap and smirked as he held her in place. "Remy..." she growled.
"Yes my dove..." he grinned.
"Stop teasing, and make me scream already..." she pouted, Remy's grip loosened and Elena forced herself down on him gasping as Remy was now fully sheathed within her Elena bit her lip, she moaned, as she grinded her hips with his.
Remy groaned as Elena moved faster, nipping and biting down her neck. "Oh God...Remy." She moaned, as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders digging her nails in the soft flesh, Remy hugged her tightly and grunted as he pushed himself in further, Elena shuddered as she climaxed, gasping for breath Elena smiled as Remy caressed the back of her neck and kissed her shoulder. Remy looked in her eyes and took himself out of her, laid her down and caressed her side kissing her sweetly until she began to squirm then sheathed himself fully in her again. Pushing himself harder and faster making her moan loudly, until she shuddered yet again. Totally exhausted Remy kissed her lips softly, Elena groaned as Remy sat back and watched her. "Like what you see?" she purred as she watched through lidded eyes.
Remy laughed. "Do you?"
"As a matter of fact..." Elena lazily crawled to Remy and kissed his stomach, she grinned then ran her tongue across his chest, Remy inhaled as she then ran her tongue on his jaw to his lip Remy gasped as she grasped him and massaged him in her small delicate hands groaning Remy took her hips steadying her on top of him and entered whispering in her ear, "Ya know how much ya drive dis Cajun crazy chère?" he asked as he moved her above him picking up the pace, massaging her breast, as well as where they were joined. "'lena...god..." Remy cringed as he pumped harder.
Elena hugged his head closer to her breast as he took one in his mouth, "Re...my...Remy oh god...yes." Elena screamed as she felt her release, Remy following close behind. Totally exhausted Elena hardly noticed her husband slipping himself out of her and picking her up carrying her to their bedroom, gently laying her down on the bed Remy then kissed her possessively, and laid down beside her.
The next morning Remy found himself surprised that Elena was up before him. Remy stretched, closed his eyes and smiled when he sensed Elena enter the room. "Not up yet?"
"Remy's enjoying da warm cozy bed dove."
"Hmmm you want some company?"
"Absolutely chère..." Remy grinned and opened his eyes when Hunter squealed as he was put on the bed, "Come 'ere..." Remy sat up and clapped his hands coaxing the excited nine-month old to crawl to him.
Picking him up Remy tickled his son and cradled him to his chest, kissing his cheek as the boy calmed a bit. "Where you goin'?"
"City have errands to run...meet me for lunch?"
"Absolutely chère..." Elena kissed her husband then her son and left the loft.
