Author's Notes: This is the end, the real end of this story.

Yes, I KNOW I said that last chapter was the final chapter…but there were a few loose ends I wanted to tie up…as in why Remy can touch Rogue. Plus, I just wanted to have something that would just really finish off the story because I felt that the ending to the last chapter could be buffed up a bit. I was tired back then…so you got a sort of half assed ending…in my opinion anyway. I wanted to update that really badly…but here's the bettah'd ending I wrote. Plus, I wanted to explain why Rogue and Remy can touch and just sort of what happened after as the exact end and address all the reviewers. This is Rogue's POV...and everything kinda comes full circle to end...

Here we go.

Shout Outs:

Cat2fat900: I love that you're consistently the first reviewer for everything I write. It's really sweet. I'm actually not sure if Remembrance Day is cooler than Veteran's Day. I just like Remembrance Day in name better, because it tells you all you need to know in the name. Remember. It's not so much about who fought in the war…but more about remembering the whole entire thing…in the name anyway. LOL! You put w00t in your dictionary! Sweet. I can SO see that of you. Subtleness again: UPDATE STOCKHOLM SYNDROME! Thank you.

Yup, he really is either drunk or really in love with how crazy he's acting. I just had to make Remy all crazed and neurotic like that. Hmm…sounds like you've got quite a habit with pacing…lol. Yup…I just had to have that bit of fate or serendipity in how Remy meets Rogue at the door. Beast is very underappreciated. I loved hearing about your reaction to the fluffiness, very funny…and sweet. LOL…on the stalking. Well…we all DO need our oxygen even Rogue and Remy in a heavy make out session…lol. As for Rogue losing her powers….she didn't lose them per se….you'll see down in the chapter there…but I know what you mean about making yourself happy and appeasing the readers by letting them touch. They do deserve that after all.

Pouts…I don't see SS anywhere…

IvyZoe: Thanks so much for the review. Well, I am continuing this…just for this last chapter and then I'm saying goodbye, you're done! LOL! I'm so glad you like the fluff I wrote. You usually don't like it, but you like mine…YAY! That's awesome. It makes me feel like I'm doing something right in my writing. Thanks.

ISHY: Oh, poppies are the damned devil. They never stay on…Aww…you're really sensitive to Remembrance Day and emotional stuff, aren't you? Dieppe…that's just freaking bad…lots and lots of Canadian soldiers died there…although it did help them plan to succeed and learn from their mistakes to do good on D-Day on Juno Beach. And yeah, I think I do remember seeing that commercial…it sort of came back to me in a weird flashback moment in my mind's eye…sadness.

I see you love the cavities…I do too. LOL! I'm glad you liked the pacing bit…it came to me after I wrote part of Remy freaking out in his room…like it would be SO much better with a monologue from Remy trying to say what he needs to Rogue. I just had to have them both being totally freaked out and awkward at the same time. I just couldn't resist sticking in that little 'you talk in your sleep' moment. It came to me writing the last chapter. It's so nice when they can kiss, for sure. As for my other fics…they're coming, they're coming…And I'm sure as hell trying to churn them out.

Musagirl15: Thanks for the review. I strive for cuteness, I do.

Miss Information: Glad you liked the sweetness, you all seem to like the pile up of cavities…LOL! I'm glad you liked the flow of the story. Planning is key! Well, taking a lot of notes and forming a brief outline, that is. And yeah, I do agree with you on the diary thing…I couldn't really see Remy writing in a diary either…but I wanted something for his thoughts on Rogue too…so I went 'what the hell? Why not?'. I'm glad you liked his deliberations. That's Remy at his most uncollected and uncalm…lol.

THE LAST CHAPTER OF 'TAKING A CHANCE IS HERE'! Enjoyi it while it lasts.

CHAPTER FOUR: NEW LIGHT OF DAWN:

Hey, Diary,

It's just me again. I'm the same person, but this is definitely THE best secret to be revealed and the juiciest confession. Heck, I told Kitty and I swear, my eardrums are still ringing from her squeals.

I'll admit it; we spent like half an hour dancing around my room in celebration. Don't tell anyone, but it felt so good. It was fun. I was a dork, but I was just so amazingly happy and thrilled…on a bit of a giddier side, that's for sure.

I do have reason for that, though, the best reason, ever.

He loves me.

Yes, Remy LeBeau loves me and I think my brain might explode from how happy and content I feel right now. I feel light and free, like I just want to laugh, sing and dance around all day.

When he told me, he clasped my hands and said the sweetest, loveliest, most genuine things that anyone has ever said to me. I'll always remember that look in his eyes when he told me, looking into my eyes, I saw all the love and care he had for me and realized that it's been there in his eyes for so long. It's the look he gives only me and I like that, no, scratch that, I love that. It makes those breathtaking ruby onyx eyes even more so. I thought my heart would burst at the things he told me. He sees me as this incredible wonderful creature that it just makes me feel so amazing and beautiful.

I've dreamed for so long of the moment where he'd tell me he loves me, thinking that it'd always just be some beautiful dream, so far away from reality. Yet, he told me and it was nothing like those magnificent dreams, it was far better. Nothing I imagined or made up in my head could be better than the reality of having him close to me and giving his greatest confession. All those feelings I've kept inside for him, just flowed out and I got so emotional, but it was just this beautiful feeling of knowing he felt the same.

I've known for a long while that he is everything to me, and no other feeling in the world could ever come close in comparison to knowing he feels the same about me. I've never been this happy until that moment when he told me that he loves me.

He told me with amazing words, that I'll remember to the end of my days, that he loves me and I'll never forget them, I'll cherish them forever.

I told him I love him too, and Remy told me that he already knew because he watches me sleep. I guess I should be more aware of the locks on my doors and windows at night…but Remy doesn't exactly get locked out of anything. I suppose in an entirely creepy, stalkerish way, it's really sweet and cute that he does that…okay, so I was tickled pink, as the saying goes.

He's never been afraid of my powers at all. He was always so fearless. So he threw all caution to the wind and kissed me! My first real kiss! I was so worried that I could've hurt him, so I pushed him off, but not before he got a chance to really kiss me. I was just lost in his touch. It had been torture to push him away, I wanted nothing more than his lips to stay on mine for eternity. It was so great to feel his kiss.

The best part was that I opened my eyes and there he was, still standing, with this big goofy, totally cute smile on his face, totally unaffected. I could kiss him and then he just goes and kisses him again, and I couldn't help but surrender to that, because it's felt much too good. I loved being able to taste his lips, his mouth and feel his face with my hands without gloves. You know that song that Cher sang that was a cover by someone else, 'if you wanna know, if he loves you so, it's in his kiss.'? Well, I can safely say, it's most definitely true.

It's the best experience in my life. The best part is knowing that I love him and he loves me and my first kiss was with Remy, the one that loves me and the one I love. It makes it that much more special.

And after kissing for what seemed like an eternity, I stayed with him the entire night and we slept together, with him holding me the entire night. Just sleeping, don't get any ideas…; ) There's nothing like sleeping in the arms of someone you love and waking up with his arms wrapped around me feeling so loved and safe is something that no words can do justice. And we just lay there in the morning, watching the dawn filter through the windows gradually, just holding each other. I was so at peace with myself and everything around me. And I just know that he's gonna make me happy for the rest of my life.

Of course, we couldn't lie in bed all day; we eventually had to get up.

Heading to my room to get ready, after a few 'delays' and reluctantly leaving Remy, I was met with quite a surprise in my room in the form of a petite brunette glaring me down with her chillingly piercing cornflower gaze.

"And where were you last night?" asks Kitty with her arms crossed and her eyes narrowed, voice taking on a tone of utter suspicion.

I smile and say, "Remy's."

I've never seen a facial expression change so rapidly. She goes from seething anger to elated joy in milliseconds, only Kitty can do that. She then breaks out in this earsplitting squeal and starts dancing around, going 'OHMIGOD, ROGUE, OHMIGOD!" And when she calmed down enough…I told her all the juicy details…without much prompting, I'm almost sorry to say. It was so worth it hearing her gush about how sweet he was…Gosh, it was THE most girly and giddy I've ever been in my life, but I love that Remy makes me feel this way.

Then we broke out in a feverish celebratory dance with cheesy love songs…

Later, I went down to breakfast and was met by Remy, waiting all handsome and flustered at my door, as if I wouldn't go down with him, like c'mon. Great, this whole thing has got me talking like Kitty, but the best part is that I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love him and he loves me, that's the best feeling in the world.

So we go down the grand staircase to the breakfast nook, where everyone is already eating and we enter the war zone that is a food gathering free for all, where it's every man for himself. He's holding my hand, gloved now…I don't want to take chances with everyone else. Logan gives us this suspicious look, raises an eyebrow and proceeds to drink his coffee, before breaking out in a tiny, miniscule, almost non existent smile that you have to really know him to see. Ororo gives us this knowing look, the professor looked very proud at us, Hank gave us a warm smile, John winks and gives us a thumbs up, Piotr mouths congratulations, Kurt broke out into this huge almost mischievous grin and Kitty looks just about ready to burst out her secret to the world. She really tried hard to keep it a secret until I was ready to tell everyone.

In the end, it was Kurt that broke out the secret by saying excitedly, "HAH! Zee, I told you I vass right, Bobby! You ALL owe me 30 dollars each! I VON! Cough it up! Zhe Fuzzy Dude is ALVAYS RIGHT!" Everyone groaned and coughed up the money…I was irked to see that it was EVERYONE at the table, excluding Jamie and the professor…Turns out that there was a betting pool to the exact date and time that Remy and I would finally come clean with our feelings.

It's great to know that they take joy and pride in petting on our love life. We really let them know that.

I had wondered how they found out that we were together. I mean, it's not like we were all that conspicuous, hand holding exempt, of course. As it turns out it was Kurt who saw us together as I left Remy's room to go to my own. He told everyone and demanded his cash payoffs. Isn't it grand to see your own BROTHER make money off you…?

Later, Remy and I had a chat with the professor and as it turns out, I'M ON THE VERGE OF CONTROLLING MY POWERS! It turns out that my powers are on a permanent 'on' mode because of some of my 'psychological issues', which I really don't want to get into, because I'd rather go with the happy parts. Basically, it's a defense mechanism that I built to make sure that I'd never get hurt after all the shit that happened to me over the course of my life. I can touch Remy because I fully trust him and know he won't hurt me. That naturally extends to Logan, Kurt and Kitty, the people who I willing tested for the professor's theory and so far, it's proving true, although, don't expect me to stop totally dressing like I do right now, any time soon, I've still got a long way to go, but it's definitely looking up.

So right now, I find myself with a few minutes to myself, getting ready to go out with Remy later and I can't wait. I know he'll do something just totally sweet and romantic. He's the type to spoil his girl rotten. I look forward to that. And right now, today, life couldn't be any better. Remy LeBeau, the man of my dreams, loves me, the way I love him. We can touch and I'm on the verge to controlling my powers. Suddenly, my life isn't so much a curse but a beautiful dream I must have stumbled onto, but one I don't want to wake up from any time soon.

The perfectly happy Rogue that got all her dreams to come true.

Yes, I got that amazing, sweet, funny, caring, compassionate, drop dead gorgeous guy that every girl dreams about getting, even me.

Aww…and there it is the finale to this fic. It's been a fun…what two weeks? I really enjoyed doing this and I hope you liked this fic. Remember there's no greater show of appreciation, then clicking that button and reviewing, so please do so. I'll probably post responses to this when I update 'URX' which is next on my list of agendas. I'll probably get it out in the next two weeks…I'm not gonna promise anything concrete though for that. Although, the next chappie is SO full of Romyness….not fluff per se…but close…it's very aggressive, intense and sexy for them…I'll leave it at that.

I hope you enjoyed this great show of cavity inducing fluff. For all of you who crave fluff, check out my other fic, 'The Road to Forever'. I know a lot of you want me to update that real soon…but the thing is, it just isn't really interesting me right now to write so much heart stopping fluff. Now, I'm not saying that I'm leaving that story in limbo…I will update it, probably around Christmas or the New Year. I just want to get more chapters out of my main, big projects, 'URX' and 'AME'. Plus, I gave you this cavity inducing fluff piece, so I think I can do to delay 'TRtF' for a bit…besides…I enjoy writing angst and well…I can use a break from writing the fluff. I mean, fluff is good, fluff is great…but I love writing the juicy angst stories with that induded Romyness that gives you hope for the future. I just really like writing sort of big, epic style fics with angst infused fluffiness. Never let it be said that a story cannot be full of angsty fluff…or fluffy angst…or a combined angst and fluff. I like that, because you feel so much more attached to Rogue and Remy that when they finally get together, it's just so much better. And just because I like writing angst, doesn't mean they won't get really cute fluffy moments together to make them question the state of their relationship.

I love the chase in their relationship and just their confusion and angst. It's what defines them and makes Romy so wonderful and rich.

I'm a nut, I know…but yeah.

I loved bringing you this piece of utter fluff and I hope you liked reading it. It's my first fully complete story. YAY! One down, three to go…lol. I'm in this for the long haul, for sure. I just have to finish one of those before I start doing some other fics though…I have SO many ideas that are just dying to be put into reality…anyway…

PLEASE REVIEW!
