Chapter 19

Elena paced the kitchen in the mansion, Hank and Piotr were sitting at the table with Kitty and Jubilee, Charles smiled as he held Hunter, "Calm down Elena I'm sure that Logan will bring Remy back home soon." Storm tried to comfort her. As she shook Hunter's hands.

"Sure after he remembers what the hell happened and freaks out or something..." she growled.

"Now Remy definetly remembers dat temper..." Remy chuckled as he tickled her sides apparently Elena hadn't noticed the two men enter the kitchen.

Elena yelped, quickly turning and quirked an eyebrow as she crossed her arms, "You're gonna get a sound beating if ya don't stop sneaking up on me like that...or stop dissapearing..." She scolded, poking him in the ribs. "Should just tie ya to the bed..." Elena grumbled as she leaned against the counter.

Remy grinned "Aheh...maybe later chère..."

"Aheh...you're funny..." she smiled sarcastically, "You two want some coffee?" she smirked.

Logan watched her curiously, "Don't think that's a good idea gumbo she got that look in her eye."

"Noticed dat too Wolfie..." Remy snickered.

"Don't be silly, I'm not gonna retaliate...besides I can always get you later when your sleeping you know..." she sang out as she took out two cups, poured the coffee then placed them on the table smiling wickedly with her hands behind her back and stared at the two. All the while the six X-men already in the room were enjoying the little scene.

"Okay that's freaking me out...ya better sleep with one eye open pup..." Logan eyed her curiously and hid behind Storm, running a hand down her arm.

Remy stared at the coffee, then at Elena, dipping his index finger in the cup Remy looked at it curiously then stuck his finger in his mouth. Glancing back at Elena. 'Tastes alright...' he mused. "Alright watcha put in da coffee?" he asked, Elena just smiled innocently, "Ya didn't put no laxative in here did ya?" he quirked an eyebrow. Elena just shrugged.

"Well she couldn't have slipped something in the cup we were watching her the whole time..." Hank spoke a certain amount of amusement could be heard in his voice.

"That's the good thing with being married to a master thief...ya learn a few new things..." she answered sweetly without breaking eye contact with Remy.

Remy smirked then sat down slowly picking up the cup he brought it to his lips still looking at his wife's eyes Remy drank the cup.

"Ya got guts gumbo..." Logan chuckled.

"Yah dis here Cajun's livin dangerously non?" he smiled.

"Oh your good..." Jubilee quipped, as Kitty laughed, "You have got to teach us how to mess with someone's mind like that..."

That night Remy sat on the couch in the living room of the boathouse watching a movie on TV, he and the Professor had had a long chat about the Morlocks and his powers at how his training would start again in the morning, although Remy knew that there was something that the Professor was not telling him he didn't press it, he figured that once he sorted out his memories then Xavier would tell him.
If not he could always break into his office later, Remy smiled at that thought.

Broken from his thoughts when Elena approached him with two steaming cups of hot chocolate, handing him one Remy looked at it then at her and smirked, Elena sighed and gave him the other cup. Sitting down beside him Remy put his cup on the coffee table and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, and gently took her cup out of her hands setting it on the coffee table, Elena watched as he gave her his cup then laughed. "There was nothing in the coffee...there is nothing in the hot chocolate..."

"Of course there wasn't chère...dis ol' boy just makin sure besides that there cup is not as hot as dis one." He chuckled.

"That's a stupid excuse..." she smiled.

"Of course it is dove..." he smiled back and tilting her head up kissed her lips softly. Remy caressed her cheek then held his breath.

Elena looked at him curiously. "What?"

Remy smiled.

"What...what's so funny?" she asked with a smile.

"Little man's...fussin..." he answered, Elena was about to get up but Remy stopped her. "I'll go..." Elena watched as he made his way upstairs, getting comfortable on the couch Elena closed her eyes and grinned as she heard Remy curse, "Damn...watcha feed da boy...whooo..." Remy carried a crying Hunter to the bathroom and cleaned him up. Remy could hear his wife snickering downstairs, as he snapped up Hunter's pajamas, "Ya maman tinks dis be funny..."

Hunter yawned and closed his eyes. Remy chuckled and carried him back in his room, then went back downstairs to his laughing wife.

The next day Remy had a session with the Professor. "You're doing very well Remy..." Xavier commented.

"Still don' understand how'd I get so damn powerful, and how come ya won't let me go any further with these sessions?"

"You've yet to understand these new powers Remy...until your mind and body are able to adapt to it, this is how we must proceed...as you well know you have amnesia because your powers were too great to handle..." Xavier tried to explain.

"But how dey evolve so fast?" Remy stood up and went to the window.

Xavier thought hard on how to explain, when there was a knock at the door. Thankful for the interuption Charles called out. "Enter..."

Rogue opened the door and smiled when she saw Remy, slowly walking inside she stopped next to a chair. "Hi Remy..." Charles was watching the interaction carefully.

The moment Remy saw Rogue he shivered, 'What da hell was dat?' "...Hi..." he answered suddenly wanting to get as far away from the untouchable as fast as possible, Remy looked to the Professor. "Uh...is our session over?"

Charles looked at his watch, they had been working for about four hours. "We can continue tomorrow..." he answered with a smile, Remy quickly walked past Rogue and left the office closing the door behind him.

Rogue looked at the door, Charles looked at her curiously. "He felt rather uncomfortable..." he answered. Rogue turned to him, "How was California?" he asked.

"Alright Scott's brother was doing fine..." she answered with a fake smile.
"How's Remy doing?" she asked looking at the floor.

"Very well, he's regained a few of his memories...mostly of Elena and Hunter and of past missions, he's recently dreamt of the massacre..."

"Even..."

Xavier held up a hand to silence her, "Not yet...and as Logan has told you, you are not to mention it...he is still a bit confused...and cannot fully control his powers yet, we do not want him angered."

"Yes I know that Professor, I won't do or say anything that'll upset him...Ah promise." Rogue promised.

After about half an hour Rogue walked into the kitchen desperately wanting a coffee, the moment she saw Remy she wanted to turn and run but the sound of his voice stopped her.

"Hey Roguie...Can I talk ta ya?" Remy asked as he leaned against the kitchen counter, waiting for the coffee he had made to warm up.

"Yeah sugah...um what's on ya mind?" She asked nervously.

Remy poured two cups and handed her one then pulled up a chair and sat down sipping at his coffee. "Ah nothin' much just wanderin' what ya been up too?"

"Up too?"

"Yeah up too, haven't ya heard Gambit remembers a whole lot o nothin'." He chuckled.

Rogue smiled, "Yeah I heard... " she smiled as she sat down opposite him.

"So?"

"Well Gee I don't know...um nothin much really..."

Remy laughed, "Nothin' much...in da past two years I got married and had a son, and all ya can tell me is nothin' much?"

"I've been seeing Bobby for the last couple months..."

Remy smirked, "Da Snowball...is he drivin' ya nuts yet?"

"No of course not..." she scolded then laughed, "Well maybe a little bit..."

"Oh yeah, what's he whining 'bout now?" he asked as he drank the last of his coffee.

"Nothing too serious..." Rogue started playing with her hands, desperatly wanting the conversation to change direction Rogue quickly changed the subject. "So...um how's Hunter doing?"

"Mon fils be a sweety at heart, and a sly little devil in mind, ya have ta watch him every second when ya put 'im on the ground...always getting inta mischief...and don' change da subject, Remy already knows most of Remy's life, he wants ta know bout Roguie's."

"I wasn't changing the subject..." Rogue looked up from her coffee.

"Yeah ya were..."

"Was not..."

"Were too...and fo some reason ya be nervous...why are ya nervous?" Remy challenged as he rested his arm on the back of the chair.

"I am not nervous, what would I be nervous about?"

Remy chuckled, "How da hell would I know, Remy's da one with da amnesia, besides ya keep changing da subject, yar playing with ya hands an ya won't make eye contact chère...ya haven't even touched ya coffee..."

"No I...Well I..." Rogue stammered.

"See, everybody been acting weird lately...Logan says it's cause of da Morlocks and all...said that's why we seperated...Hank said it's cause we had a disagreement, and Xavier refuses ta talk 'bout it until I get my memories back...so what exactly did we disagree 'bout?"

Rogue looked at him wide eyed, how exactly was she supposed to answer that question, Rogue bit her bottom lip, "Well, it's stupid really it's not really worth mentioning..." she answered plainly, and sipped her now cold coffee. 'Please don't ask me anything else...' she silently pleaded.

Remy just looked at her, after a few moments which seemed like an eternity, Remy spoke. "Humor me..."

"I told you it was nothing..."

"If it's nothing, why won't ya tell me then?"

"Why do ya even care I thought ya loved Elena..." Rogue drawled out.

"I do love her, dat why ya so pissed?"

"No..." Rogue coughed out.

Remy grinned, "So why won't ya tell me?"

"Why are we even talking about this?"

"Told ya Remy don't remember and wants ta know..."

"Well I'm not telling..." Rogue smiled then quickly looked away and crossed her arms.

Remy looked at her curiously, then grinned, "HEY..." Rogue jumped and looked at him. "Come 'ere..." he cooed. And a screech was his reply. Rogue quickly turned around and saw Logan enter the kitchen with Elena and her son. Smiling Elena gave Hunter to Remy who sat him in his lap and tickled him. Rogue smiled then looked at Elena, amazingly she gave off no emotion then turned her attention to her family with a grin.

"Everything all right darlin'?" Logan asked as he glanced over to Rogue with a warning look.

"Everything's fine..." she lied and stood up, "Well um...see ya later Remy."

"Yeah sure..." he answered as he watched her leave the kitchen, then gave his attention to Hunter, "You misbehaven...ya spoiled rotten, yeah ya are..." Remy chuckled.

Hunter squealed and laughed. While Elena prepared a bottle for her son.

"So you got anything planned for later?" Logan asked as he sat down in Rogue's chair. Watching as Hunter played with his father's hands.

Remy chuckled, "Not really why?"

"Oh they all wanna lose their money to ya Rem..." Elena laughed as she handed the bottle to Remy, Hunter looked at the bottle with big eyes.

"Ooohhh ya just go crazy ovah dis stuff hun..." Remy fed the bottle to Hunter who drank it greedily, then looked to Logan, "Card game...hope we ain't playing with sore losers." He chuckled.

A few hours later

Hank, Logan, Piotr, Kitty, Storm, Kurt, Jubilee, Scott, and Jean as well as Remy his wife and Hunter were in the rec room, the guys were joking around and playing poker while the girls played with a hyper eleven month old.

"I don't know how he does it..." Scott whined as he threw his cards on the table.

"It has to be luck..." Piotr snickered.

"The hell with luck he's gotta be palming cards or something..." Logan chuckled,

"Remy...cheating I think not, although it does rise a question..." Hank laughed.

Remy smirked, "Remy been playing cards since he been eight...not my fault if ya all suck at it..."

Their little talk was interrupted by Rogue and Bobby as they were in the hall after one of their danger room sessions arguing as usual, "For god's sake Bobby, I didn't mean it, I said I was sorry didn't I..."

"Didn't mean it...Rogue what the hell happened...ya went nuts in the danger room, I nearly got my head cut off..."

Rogue huffed, "I wasn't that bad..."

"Yeah ya were, I'm sure you acted the same way when you tried to take the kid in Paris..." Bobby huffed then clamped his mouth shut when he noticed the group staring at them.

The moment those words left Bobby's mouth, 'Your...not...taking...my...boy.' resounded in Remy's head, and then Rogue's voice followed as well as a few flashbacks, "Ya...can't...stop...me." Remy whispered. Scott, Logan and Hank looked at the Cajun a little worried. Then Remy stood and turned to Rogue and Bobby, "Ya tried ta take Hunter away from me...Why would ya do something like that..." Remy asked confusion and worry on his face.

"Ah shit..." Bobby whispered.

"Remy I never...I..." Rogue tried to explain herself.

"You can't stop me...I remember you saying that..."

Hearing the commotion Xavier entered the room.

"Abababababa..." Hunter had crawled over to his father and grasped his leg, Remy looked down and scooped him up in his arms, and craddled him to his chest.

"Not even a year old...why take him away from his mère and père?"

"Look Remy...she's over that alright, just let it go okay...I'm telling you...you don't really want to know...it's stupid really..." Scott tried to reasure him.

"Ya'll aren't tellin Remy jackshit...now what da hell?" Remy hissed as he looked around the room.

Elena was growing tired at keeping all this a secret from Remy. Looking to the Professor Elena spoke up. "You all kept this from him because you didn't want him ta get angry and lose it, well as you can see he's getting pissed because you all won't fess up...so if you all don't tell him, I will."

Xavier sighed and nodded his head, "Very well, Remy you might want to sit down...this will be a very long story..." Charles announced, as everyone got comfortable Charles explained the whole Antarctica ordeal.

Remy remained silent, when Xavier finished the story, "How ya doing Gumbo...ya all right?" Logan leaned forward in his seat.

Remy just looked at the floor, "Remy..." Charles asked in his calm fatherly voice. Remy didn't even move, "Remy..." he tried again. Remy looked up, then stood. "Remy..."

"Need ta think..." he answered and left the rec room, Logan quickly stood and went after him.

"Hey, gumbo hold up..." Logan yelled as he caught up to Remy outside, "Rem...wait..."

"What?" Remy growled out.

Logan held his hands up, "Hey calm the hell down alright."

"Calm down...you my so called teammates, my friends...sentenced me to a cold lonely death...and ya want me ta calm down?"

"Yeah we did, it was a huge mistake kid, and we're still trying to make up for it..." Logan tried to explain.

"Don't...just don't..." Remy looked away, took a deep breath, ran his fingers through his hair, then sat down on the steps in front of the mansion entrance. Leaning against the pillar Remy checked his pockets. "Hey homme ya don' got a smoke do ya?"

Logan chuckled. "Ya haven't smoked in almost two years bub..." he answered as he sat next to him.

Remy rolled his eyes. "Yah, well tink dis would be a good reason ta start again...dontcha tink?"

"You do that and I'll kick your ass..." Elena kneeled down behind him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You okay?" she asked.

"Yeah..." Remy answered then quickly turned, "Where's Hunter?"

"With Ororo..." Xavier answered as he joined them outside.

"So watcha thinking about pup?" Logan asked.

"Going home..."

"What about your powers?" Logan continued.

"Fuck em..."

"Remy..." Charles started.

"If I have trouble with them you'll be da first I call...I...just...can't stay in this place any longer..." Remy drawled as he leaned into his wife's embrace.

Charles sighed and nodded his head, "Very well Remy...but please you must listen when I tell you that what happened was regretful and we wish that it had never happened...we simply want to help you..."

Remy didn't answer he just simply stood and helped Elena on her feet, glancing at the Professor, Remy chuckled and walked into the mansion Remy made his over to Storm and smiled as he gently took his son from her arms, kissing his forehead and Storm's cheek. Remy left the mansion with his wife and headed to the boathouse.

"He's leaving isn't he?" Scott asked.

"Yup..." Logan answered.

"Your not gonna try and stop him?" Rogue turned to Logan and crossed her arms.

"Remy needs time to let all this sink in...he'll come back when he's ready..." he answered as he watched them walk down the wooded path.

Elena wrapped an arm around Remy's. "You sure about this?" she asked.

"Positive..." Remy smirked and kissed Hunter's cheek as he giggled. "Tink dis here Cajun needs a vacation from everyt'ing in a nice warm place..." he chuckled, then turned to Elena. "Wanna join dis ol boy my dove?"

Elena smiled and tilted his head kissing his lips sweetly, "Most definetly..."
