February weddings

The months passed quickly and before anyone realized it, February was here. Kitty was starting to feel kind of jittery. She had been waiting for this for so long, but she was still kind of scared. Lance was also starting to get nervous, but he didn't show it as much.

Kitty had found the perfect dress and her bridesmaids were wearing purple. The wedding was going to be a simple one; everyone from the Institute, any close friends, and Kitty's parents. Kitty didn't really want her whole family there, seeing as how they weren't huge mutant fans. The ceremony was going to be held outside at the mansion. Kitty smiled as she thought about it. Everything was going to be perfect.

Rogue was the maid of honor and Pietro was the best man. Rogue wasn't too thrilled with having to wear a dress, complaining that she was still fat from the pregnancy. Rogue had given birth to a beautiful boy only two weeks ago. They had named him Wesley LeBeau. He had auburn hair and red on black eyes like his father.

John and Wanda had long since left the mansion. It turns out that they had been living in New York, somewhere near Buffalo. Magneto had once again disappeared, and Pietro and Tabitha were getting serious.

Lance had moved into Kitty's room, since it was bigger than his (considering she used to share it with Rogue). Actually, that's what they were doing now, finishing up moving all of his stuff into her…their room.

Once they had finished, they decided to take a break. So, they headed downstairs for a snack. Kitty was popping some popcorn while Lance grabbed a couple water bottles out of the fridge. They then sat down at the table and talked about the wedding next week.

­­­­­­later

Next week came really fast, and it was now the morning of the 20th. Kitty woke up alone, considering they had forced Lance to sleep in a spare bedroom for the night. She sighed as she stood up and walked into the bathroom. She took a long, hot shower and then put her pajamas back on once she got out, not really caring that much considering she'd be changing into her dress in a mere two hours or so.

Breakfast went by and Kitty found that all too soon she was being pulled away from Lance and upstairs to get ready. She had her dress on and Rogue started toward her hair. Kitty's eyes widened and she pushed her away.

"N...No…I…I'll do it later." She said, backing away from Rogue.

Rogue looked at her funny and was about to say something when Wesley started crying. Rogue sighed and left the room to go feed him. Kitty sat back down and breathed in a sigh of relief.

Kitty had lost her hair back in October and had been using the image inducer since. Her hair had started to grow back, though; it was about the length of Wanda's. Kitty decided to change it so that it was in a curly, half-up do before Rogue came back and tried to do it for her again.

No need to say that when Rogue came back she was a bit shocked. She couldn't understand how Kitty could have possibly done her hair in such a short amount of time. She decided though, that she'd ask later.

So, after Rogue did Kitty's make-up and put on her own dress, she left to go find the other bridesmaids': Tabitha and Rahne. She ran into Remy and the other guys during her pursuit.

"Chère, ya look très belle." Remy said, pulling her into his arms and kissing her. She broke away quickly though.

"Can it Cajun." She warned. "Have any of y'all seen Tabby and Rahne?" she asked the guys. "And where the hell is Wesley?" she asked, rounding on Remy.

"Tabby and Rahne are in Tabby's room I think." Pietro said.

"Uh…Logan's watching Wes, chère." Remy said, looking a little nervous.

"You better not be lyin' to me Remy." She said, glaring at him.

"Chère, ya wound Remy." He said, placing his hand over his chest and pouting.

"Save it." she said, heading off to find Logan.

She didn't have to look far; he was talking with the Professor in his study.

"Sorry to interrupt, but to save me from killin' a Cajun, please tell me ya got Wesley." Rogue said.

Logan turned around, a sleeping Wesley in his arms. He smirked at her as she rolled her eyes, noticing how relieved she really was. He stood up and walked over to her.

"As much as I'd like to see that Cajun dead, I'd rather not have you raising your son by yourself." He said and she rolled her eyes again.

"Yeah, Ah've heard it all before." She said, taking her son from Logan's arms. "Thanks for watchin' him." She said before turning and leaving.

Xavier had watched this with amusement. It seemed that Logan's relationships with the kids would never change. He knew that he had long forgiven Gambit and the others, but he was still not sure if he trusted them. He figured he did; at least Gambit, anyway. It might take some time before he trusted the others. Though, he figured Avalanche was close to getting on his good side, if he wasn't already. Sometimes, it was hard for even Xavier to tell.

elsewhere

Rogue had gone straight to Tabitha's room after collecting Wesley. Tabby and Rahne were already dressed and were putting some finishing touches on their make-up. Rogue told them to come to Kitty's room when they were done and then she left to go check on Kitty.

Kitty was standing on her balcony, staring out across the horizon. It seemed as if she was daydreaming and Rogue didn't really want to bother her. But she knew that if she didn't, Tabby and Rahne would when they came in.

"Nervous?" Rogue asked, startling Kitty.

"A little." She admitted, never taking her eyes away from the world beyond her.

"That's normal though, Ah was scared out of my mind when Ah married that sorry excuse for a husband." She said laughing, waking up Wesley. "Crap." She said, laughing again.

Kitty turned around smiling. Rogue seemed so happy. She never used to be that way. Gambit had changed her, being married had changed her, being a mother had changed her. And all those changes were for the best. Kitty smiled, feeling her nervousness start to go away.

There was a knock on the door and Tabitha and Rahne entered, looking extremely giddy. They were laughing at who knows what and were talking animatedly about the wedding.

"Remind me again why I picked you guys to be my like, bridesmaids'." Kitty said, sighing.

"Because you love us?" Tabby supplied.

"I suppose." Kitty said, rolling her eyes.

Just then, Jean walked in and announced that it was time. Kitty breathed in and looked at Rogue. Rogue smiled at her encouragingly and handed Wesley over to Jean who took him down to Roberto who said that he'd hold him during the wedding. But before she left, she gave Kitty a hug and wished her good luck.

Rahne and Tabby left the room first to go make sure everyone was outside. Once they gave the "all clear", Rogue and Kitty came down the stairs. They lined up and Rahne went out first, followed by Tabby and finally Rogue. Kitty was standing there trying to collect herself as Logan came up beside her.

"Ready half-pint?" he asked, using his ever-famous nickname for her.

"Yeah." She said, linking her arm with his. She had wanted her father to walk her down, but her parents weren't able to make it. She didn't mind having Logan give her away though; he was next to the closest thing to a father she had.

The wedding march started and they made their way outside and down the aisle. Kitty smiled when she saw Lance. He was smiling at her as well. When they reached him, Logan reluctantly said that he gave Kitty away. She kissed his cheek and he let go of her. He then took his seat beside Ororo.

The wedding was beautiful and a lot of people were in tears. Even Scott was tearing up; though no one would ever know (damn glasses). They then started the recession (A/N: I'm really not sure what it's called) with Lance and Kitty first, followed by Rogue and Pietro, Remy and Tabitha, and Kurt and Rahne.

The reception was a fun time, filled with laughter, tears, and dancing. It turned out that Kurt had taped Lance's proposal, so they of course had to show it. They then cut the cake. Kitty, with a smirk on her face, smashed it all over Lance's face. She then burst out laughing, along with everyone else, before Lance repaid her. They both laughed and excused themselves to the bathroom to get it off; but not before Rogue took a bunch of pictures of them.

At the end of the night, when only Lance and Kitty were left dancing in the middle of the room, the Professor came over to them.

"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Alvers." He said, looking at the two. "I would like to give you a gift." He said, handing them an envelope.

Kitty took it and opened it. She gasped when she saw what he had given them. Before she could stop herself, she threw her arms around the Professor and thanked him repeatedly.

"Please, it was my pleasure." He said once she let go of him. "Take note, the plane leaves at eight o'clock in the morning. So, you may want to get a good nights sleep." He said, and then he left.

Kitty turned to Lance and kissed him.

"Can you believe we're like, going to Italy?" she said, hugging him close.

"We…we can't accept these Kitty." Lance said.

"Why not?"

"Because, the Professor has given us so much already."

"That's true." She said, looking crestfallen.

"We can give them back in the morning." He said, setting the envelope aside and putting his arms back around Kitty as they continued to dance.
