All of the characters in the story belong to MARVEL, not me! I am just borrowing them for a while. I will return turn them in good condition with the price tags still attached. So don't sue me because I'm not getting paid for anything I write.

The shock was apparent on her face.

Rogue stared into the red on black eyes of the man she had considered to be her soul mate before he left her seven years before. The emotions that ran through her body and mind confused her.

"Remy? Ah-" Her voice cracked. The tears began to burn her eyes as she tried with everything in her to not let them free-flow.

"Rogue," he whispered. He didn't move, just stood, frozen, in the kitchen doorway.

She didn't know who he was looking at, his eyes darting between the three of them. He seemed confused, but she could have been mistaken. She had grown to realize over the years she had known him that his facial expressions were extremely hard to read.

"Mama? Who's that man?" The little girl asked as she clung to Rogue's skirt.

"This is-"

"Mama? Rogue?" In that instant, Rogue was sure that the expression on his face was that of confusion.

"Yes, Remy, this is mah daughter, Glory." Rogue's tears slid down her cheek as Remy looked away from her and down at the floor.

"Daddy? Who is he?" The voice of Glory was demanding as she moved from one parent to the next, seeing as though she couldn't get a straight answer from her mother.

In one swift move, he picked her up and held her in one arm. His blue eyes glanced over at the Cajun, then at his wife. He had been hoping that this day would never come, but it had apparently came to kick up old dust.

"Hello, Remy. Long time, no see."

Remy's eyes narrowed. "Dat's for sure, Bobby. Looks like a lot has changed while I was gone."

Bobby could feel his anger welling up inside his rigid body. He had never liked Remy. Ever since Gambit had joined the X-Men, he had turned everyone's world upside-down especially Rogue's. The day Remy left, Bobby felt the tension leave the mansion with him and he was secretly overjoyed. But now, here he was, the Cajun, come back to ruin everyone's life.

"Well, what did you expect? For us not to go on with our lives after you left? That's pretty selfish, Gambit," Bobby growled, handing Glory to Rogue as he took a step closer to Remy.

"Bobby! Stop it! You never liked Remy, but some of consider him our friend," Jubilee said as she walked in the kitchen and between the two men.

"I don't get it, Jubes! This swamp rat leaves the team and all of his so-called friends and doesn't even send you any word that he's okay, and you still take his side over mine. I have been here for you and Rogue and everyone else that was supposed to be his friend. Why? What is it about him that you find so wonderful?" Bobby shouted.

Jubilee turned around to face Remy only to find that he had ducked out of the doorway and had disappeared. She swung back around.

"Bobby, why are you so jealous of him? Can't you ever just let it be? You have what you've always wanted," Jubilee pointed at Rogue and Glory, "just give it a rest!"

"Jubes, I-"

"I don't want to hear it!" She yelled as she ran out of the kitchen to find Remy.
