Chapter 20

Parties and pregnancy's

Remy, Rogue, Lance, and Kitty all went out to lunch on Saturday. It was actually a very interesting time. Rogue and Kitty spent most of the time talking since they hadn't really spent that much time with each other in a while. And Remy and Lance just kind of sat there, somewhat uncomfortably; they never had gotten the chance to know each other.

Soon, lunch was served and everyone began eating, the talk dying down for the time being. Rogue, though, hadn't eaten very much before she excused herself to the bathroom. She came back about ten minutes later, but just long enough for them to notice her before she dashed off for the bathroom again.

"I wonder what's like, bugging her?" Kitty said, looking at Gambit.

"Remy don' know, petite." He said, but he sounded worried.

"I'm going to go check on her." She said, standing up and heading in the direction of the bathroom.

Once there, she could hear Rogue throwing up. She was grossed out, but worried nonetheless.

"Rogue? Rogue, are you like, okay?" she asked, standing outside her stall.

"Oh yeah, Kit, everythin's fine and dandy." She said, and then she threw up again.

It figures, Kitty thought, leave it to Rogue to be sarcastic when she's sick. Rogue stepped out of the stall and splashed some cold water onto her face. She then turned to Kitty.

"Kit, I…I think I might be pregnant." She whispered.

Kitty's eyes got huge and she squealed like there was no tomorrow.

"Yay! That is like, so totally awesome Rogue." She said.

"Will ya keep it down? Come on." She said, and they left the bathroom and headed back to their table.

They sat down and Kitty saw Remy give Rogue a worried glance because she wasn't eating. He then put his arm around her and decided that he, too, was finished. Kitty and Lance continued to eat as Remy asked Rogue if she wanted to go for a walk. He then paid for their lunch and they left, saying that they'd meet them back at the Institute.

Lance and Kitty finished their meal and decided just to head back to the Institute. Once there, they headed inside and were greeted by Pietro.

"Hey guys." He said.

"Hey Pietro, what's up?" Kitty asked.

"Oh, not much. Tabby and I were wondering if you guys wanted to watch a movie with us in the rec. room?" he asked, impassively.

Kitty turned to Lance, who only shrugged. She smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Sure." She said, and they would have followed him in but he was already gone.

Lance and Kitty entered the rec. room to find everyone was in there. They also found that there were decorations everywhere, and they did not say 'Congratulations Graduate' but more along the lines of 'You're Engaged!'

Kitty stared with her mouth open in shock. Lance tensed up and stared at everything as well. There was only one thought that seemed to be running through both of their minds: Kurt is dead.

"Congratulations you two." Jean said, walking over to them and giving Kitty a hug.

Scott came over as well, holding their one-year-old daughter Rachel. He didn't say anything at first; it seemed to be hard enough for him to come to grips with the fact that Kitty was going to marry Alvers. But then he smiled and hugged Kitty as well.

"Yeah, congratulations." He said, as he turned to face Lance. He then stuck his arm out and the two of them shook hands.

They then went off to mingle with everyone else as everyone took turns congratulating the two. After everyone (well, almost everyone) had congratulated them, Tabby brought in a cake that said 'Congratulations Lance and Kitty' on it.

After everyone had a piece of cake and were all talking happily amongst themselves, Logan came in. It became quiet really fast. Everyone stared at him, unsure of how he was going to handle this.

Logan looked around, reading the decorations and narrowing his eyes. He walked over to where Lance and Kitty were and they tensed up. But then Logan smiled, pulling Kitty into a hug.

"Congratulations half-pint." He said. And then he turned to Lance. "You hurt her and they'll never find your body, bub."

"Y...yes sir." Lance stuttered.

Just then, a door was heard being slammed and a suspicious looking Cajun joined them. They all looked at him for a few minutes before Kitty offered him a piece of cake. He refused and went and sat down in a chair, trying to ignore everyone.

Rogue came downstairs about five minutes later. Her eyes were bloodshot and she went straight for Remy. He stood up as she approached him. He was about to ask her something when she nodded her head. Remy put his arms around and kissed her head, telling her it would be okay.

By this time everyone in the room was staring at them. They hardly ever saw Rogue cry. Logan didn't seem very pleased and he made his way over to them and then shoved an unsuspecting Remy against the wall.

"What'd you do to her, bub?" he asked gruffly.

"Logan, don't, it's…it's nothing." Rogue said, pulling her husband away and leading him out of the room. The Professor followed them into the kitchen where Rogue was once again crying on Remy's shoulder.

"I…I'm pregnant professor." Rogue said, leaning her head on Remy's shoulder.

"And I assume that this worries you because of your mutation?" he asked.

"Yes. I mean, how am Ah suppose to have a baby? It'll probably die while Ah'm givin' birth or somethin'." She said, sniffling. Remy's arm tightened around her.

"That may not be the case though, Rogue. Remy is immune to your power, so it is very likely that your child will be too." He said. "We'll just have to monitor your pregnancy closely."

"Okay." She said, wiping her eyes. The professor left them and went back to the party. "Do ya think he was tellin' the truth?" she asked Remy.

"Remy sure hope so chère." He said, kissing her. And they too, headed back to the party.
