A/N: Okay, I know I useually have things to say at the beginning of each chapter but not this time. I can't think of anything to say except for me telling you that I have nothing to say which is kind of pointless. So Thanks for the reivew and please read on!

Chapter 13

Night had fallen when the X-men had decided to rest for the night. Theressa had fallen asleep in Logan's arms and no had a fever. Logan placed his daughter on a bed of grass that was near the road and not too close to the edge of the cliff. He knew that she had placed a shield around herself but he didn't know if the shield was still up and as her father he didn't care. Now he knew how Theressa felt when she went to go see Michael back at the mansion.

After Logan made sure that Theressa was safe he went over to where Scot and Knole were resting by the road and said, "What do we do know Cyke?"

"Well, for right now we're staying here and sleeping. We can each take turns watching over Theressa, if you like, Logan. That way you don't have to do it alone."

"Thanks Cyke but you do know that is T wakes up she's going to want to push on even in her condition."

"I know Logan." Scott said, "Theressa would cross a active volcano in her condition if it meant saving her son. If she wakes up we can move on but for right now I say we gat some sleep."

"Knole's all ready ahead of yah, Cyke." Wolverine said pointing to the boy next to Scott who had fallen asleep while the two men were talking. Scott smiled and then Logan patted him on the back saying, "I'll take first watch."

Logan got up and walked over to where Theressa slept and sat down next to her hoping she'd sleep threw the night.

Logan's wish, however, was not granted because on Knole's watch Theressa woke up.

"Ms. Knight, do you feel any better?" Knole asked politely.

"Knole, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Theressa? Yes, I feel a little better. My hands aren't shaking as much as they were before and I think my fever has gone down. What time is it?"

Knole looked at his watch and said, "About three in the morning. We stopped at about eight last night and Wolverine watched over you until ten and then Scott watched over you until midnight and then I took over."

Theressa felt confused by knole's explication so she said, "Were you asleep during all of this?"

"No, not really. I couldn't sleep on this mountain side, so I took over for Scott and told him that I'd watch you the rest of the night but I wouldn't be surprised if Logan woke up in a few minutes."

"Were you thinking about Andi?" Theressa asked and received a look from Knole.

"Don't worry, Knole I didn't read you're mind. I'm a mother and I know when something is bothering someone. Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really."

"It'd probably help if you talked but if you don't want to then that's all right." Theressa said knowing that talking about a broken heart was hard but it did help the pain go away faster. There was silence for awhile but then Knole began to speak.

"It's just that I proposed to Andi almost a year ago and I understand why we posopned the wedding after Xavier died but like I said that was almost a year ago and I don't know why she doesn't want to be with me any more. I love her more than anything and I thought she did too."

"Andrea does love you Knole. She wants to explore the world a little before she settles down and has a family. You have to understand that all she's ever known is the Mansion and the people that make up the X-men and the school. Now, Mian can live with not seeing anything out side those walls and is satisfied with everything it has to offer but not Andi. Andrea needs adventure just like she needs to eat and breath. If she doesn't get that adventure than she feels cooped up in side and lashes out at people. That's one reason I made sure she practiced in the danger room, so that she'd have that sense of adventure but the danger room can't hold her forever and I don't know if you can either. Knole, if she truly loves you then she'll come back to you when she threw with her adventures and can be satisfied with the danger room once again. All you have to is wait if you truly love her. You'll see what I mean." Theressa smiled and then went back to sleep. She didn't want to cause any trouble on Knole's watch but if it had been her father, it would have been a different story.

Back at Madam Tulia's House

Warren passed the porch of the cabin when Storm came out side with a cup of coffee and handed it to the young bird man.

"Thank you Storm."

"What are you doing up at three o'clock in the morning?"

"I couldn't sleep and I have a feeling that Theressa's awake too." Warren answered and then there was silence for awhile until Storm broke it.

"Warren, what is bothering you?" Storm said as she now stood by her feather friend and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm just worried about Theressa. Our com-links don't seem to work between her and the mountain and she's not using her telepathy. You know I don't think I've ever felt so alone in my life before."

"But Warren you are not alone. You have Banshee, Jubliee, Sync, Madam Tulia and myself. We are all here and I'm sure Theressa is fine as are the onthers that are with her. God will watch over them, you will see."

"I may not be alone physically, Ororro but mentally I am. Theressa and I almost always had a mental link and it feels so weird not to have it right now. Theressa may not want me to tell you this but I'm going to tell you anyway. When she left she told me, mentallty that she was sick with the virus and for me to know that she is out there in pain and basically dying of something that no one can control, and to know that I'm not there to hold her when she needs me, is just heart wrenching. I want her to get back so that I can hold her in my arms and know that she's all right and I want the same for her son, Micahel as well."

Storm felt like she was going to cry after Warren's little speech but when she managed to find her voice she said, "Warren, I'm sure she feels the same way. Wanting to feel your tough once more and to be held in your arms. You are so sweet and you must truly be in love with her."

"I am and I'm going to marry her but I don't know when. that will be up to Theressa to decide. As long as I get her forever I don't care when we are married." Warren placed the empty coffee cup on a table on the porch and then turned to Storm and kissed her on the cheek.

"What was that for, Angel?"

"For being a good friend and listeing to me talk. Tell Madam Tulia that I'm flying around for a while but I'm not going anywhere near the mountain. I'll be back in awhile, Storm, take care."

Storm nodded her head as she watched Warren take flight into the dark morning sky.
