Another short Update. It's funny I have so many ideas for this story but I just can't seem toget to them lol. This maybe a lot longer than I had first thought. Thank you for all the comments and suggestions. I hope everyone hasn't lost interest yet.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters


Rogue quickly slipped the ring off of her finger and put it safely into the small cool box and stuffed it into her pocket as soon as she walked out the door. She realized she was still wearing the same clothes from the night before, which were rumbled from sleeping in them. She mindlessly fiddled with her unruly hair and donned her gloves. She looked awful. She could tell that by the looks and stares she received when she made her way down the hallway. She saw each person's eyes glance her way, questioning last night's events. She pretended not to notice and started towards the kitchen.

"I wouldn't chance it if I were you."

The voice startled her for a moment as she passed the living area. She turned to see Kitty lounging in a chair. Her feet were propped up and her face looked tired but she was smiling. "Don't try the kitchen if you value your sanity."

Rogue looked toward the kitchen and heard the faint traces of an argument, and then both women heard a large crash. Anna looked at Kate questioningly.

"Emma thought Scott made the catering arrangements. He didn't."

"Poor Scott."

Kate motioned to the seat beside her and Anna sat down. "So how are you feeling after last night?"

Anna tried to hide her embarrassment and joked, "It's nothing that a cup of coffee and a hand full of aspirin can't fix."

The younger girl rubbed her stomach and smiled.

"Ah'm so sorry Kittty."

She looked surprised. "For what?"

"For touching you. Ah could have hurt you and the baby. I feel awful about it."

"Well don't. We're absolutely fine. This little one kept me up all night to prove it. Besides it was an accident. You had too much to drink."

"I shouldn't have let mahself do that. Ah know Ah'm dangerous. Ah have to stop putting people Ah care about at risk."

Kitty patted her friend's gloved hand. "Don't beat yourself up over this..really," She paused, "Can I ask you something?"

Before Rogue had time to response Logan came running into the room out of breath.

"What in the world happened to you?"

Logan plopped himself into a chair and glared towards the kitchen. "If I'm ever as whipped as Summers, kill me." He took a sip from a coffee mug and shook his head. "If you value your sanity don't go in there."

Anna laughed, "Yeah that's what Ah've heard."

Logan took another big sip of coffee, "So, everything alright here?"

"Shouldn't you be worried about the catering mishap?" Kitty asked, "It is your wedding."

Logan grinned, "Not at all. Ororo took care of that months ago." He looked towards the kitchen again, "You think I should tell them?"

The girls laughed and Logan looked at Anna.

"You look beat." He said handing her his coffee. "I think you need this more than me."

Anna tried to refuse but Logan wouldn't have it. Finally she graciously took the cup.

"Ah think next time Ah'll just drink water"

"Speaking of which…" Kitty turned to see Peter carrying two glasses. She graciously took one and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you"

Peter smiled and looked at Anna then back at his wife. "You are feeling well?"

"Hun, I'm perfectly fine, really."

Her responses seemed to satisfy Peter but he still pulled a chair close to his wife. Kate tried to ignore the fact that Peter was purposefully putting himself between her and Rogue. She hoped Anna wouldn't notice.

A loud crash in the kitchen drew everyone's attention and they saw Emma storm down the hallway and moments later Scott followed her.

"It seems as though those two are at it again." A calm voice commented walking closer.

The group looked up to see Hank walking towards them with a small blonde girl on his big blue shoulders.

"Now there's a sight." Logan commented, "How are you feeling kiddo?"

"Dr. Hank made me better!"

Hank picked her off of his shoulders and set her gentle on her feet, "Ella's body seems to be used to dealing with this type of strain. If she doesn't over-exert herself she should be fine." Hank looked directly at her, "You're not going to tire yourself out are you?"

Ella smiled sweetly, "of course not."

Logan laughed, "The Cajun's gonna have his hands-full with this one. Who could say no to those eyes?"

"Speaking of Remy, has anyone seen him this morning? I should speak to him about Ella's recovery."

Anna stood. "He was down the hall the last I saw of him. Excuse me guys," She said stepping away from the group, "Ah think Ah need some air to clear mah head."

She walked away unaware of the little girl's attempts to talk to her. Ella looked at the ground.

"Don't feel too bad darling." Logan said patting her shoulder, "It ain't you she's running from."

She turned to Hank, "Can we go find papa now?"

"There is no time like the present." He said letting Ella lead him down the hallway.
