Title: This Can't Be It
Author: Gambit'sLady
Rating: Mature for language and scenes a little later on in the story
Summary: It's been three months since the 'deaths' of three dear friends and now Rogue questions whether or not they're really dead. The X-Men make some new friends as some old ones return. Romy, Jonda, and many more! Slightly AU from the movies
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters Marvel Comics and Fox does! I just came up with the plot and the story. Although I wish I owned the charries but I don't
AN: Okay so this chapter is all Romy pretty much since I thought my readers would enjoy it. Also because my best friend keeps on nagging me about putting more Romy in there although she already knows what'll happen.

Logan sniffed the air and heard the distant sounds of a jet and growled. "They're back Ororo" he grunted.
The white-haired weather witch smiled and walked down to the hanger bay with Logan in toe. She looked stern when she saw the teens come off but gasped in shock at the sight at her former teacher and friend there. Her eyes started watering and she looked over to the others. Rogue nodded with a smile and she broke down in tears. "Charles! Scott!" she said as she ran over to them and gave them both a hug.
Charles smiled and patted her back. "Hello Ororo" he said.
"Hey one-eye, Chuck" Logan said as he walked over to them. "Good ta see yer alright"
"Logan" Scott said with a curt nod. "What happened?" he asked as he looked around.
"Things changed" Logan grunted. "We lost people for the second time"
"No we didn'" Rogue said softly.
Logan looked up at her with wide eyes as he saw the sleeping child in her arms. He rose and eyebrow in question. "Is there somethin ya forgot to tell me Stripes?" he asked.
She smiled and shook her head. "No" she told him. "And we didn't loose Jean again, I know where she is"
"What? Where?" Scott asked when he heard the mention of his fiancée's name.
"Area 51" Rogue said. "Ah saw her bein' experimented on. Ah fel' her pain as the scientist ran tests on her"
Remy's eyes went wide when he heard about a person being experimented on. it brought back horrifying memories of which only he, Wanda, and Pietro knew about. He looked at the other two and saw the slightest sign of a nod.
"Professor we have to do something" Scott said. He had just gotten back and already assumed the leadership position again.
"I know Scott but for right now we must wait and find out more" Charles said to his first student. "Besides, its late and you need to be checked out by Hank and these kids must get their rest if they are to be able to help any when we do go out" he said with a smile to the teens.
"Thank yah professor" Rogue said for the group. "Now if yah don' mahnd, Remy an' Ah will get Jamie a spare room and put him to bed" she told them. She smiled goodbye and walked out of the room with Remy in toe.
-----
"Yah okay Swamp Rat?" Rogue asked him when she made sure no one was around. They were in an empty hallway.
"O' course cher" he said, snapping out of his trance like phase.
"Remy, Ah know yoah lyin'" she said. She walked into the empty room that was between hers and Remy's (I have my reasons for this) and switched on the light. "Ah think this'll be good fo' him" she commented. "Can yah hold him while Ah get thah bed made?"
Remy nodded and took the boy from her arms. He watched as she walked over to the linen closet and drew some fresh sheets and a blanket along with a fluffy pillow. "These'll have tah do until Ah can take him out and get some things he needs" she said as she put the bed together.
"How 'bout we go tomorrow?" Remy suggested. She nodded and smiled at him. Once she was done Remy walked over to the bed and set him down. He pulled the blanket over him and grinned. "Bonne nuit" he whispered as he got up. "Y' comin' chéri?"
"Yeah hold on" she said as she sat down next to Jamie. "G'night pup" she whispered before she pushed some hair out of his face. She got up and walked with Remy out of the room.
They were in the middle of the hallway for about five minutes, just staring into the others' eyes, both hypnotized from their beauty. Finally Rogue decided to break the silence.
"Well Ah guess Ah'll see yah tomorrow" she said softly knowing he could hear her perfectly.
"Wait" Remy said. "Please…go wit' Remy t'morrow night"
"Ah told yah Remy" Rogue stated tiredly. "Ah don' wanna"
"I know dat a lie" he told her. "I can feel i'"
"Remy…please, leave meh alone" she pleaded as she felt his arms wrap around her. She sighed and leaned her head on his chest. "Ah'm not meant tah be loved Rems" she muttered into his chest.
"Laissez-moi vous aimer" he whispered to her.
Rogue pulled away from the embrace and turned around. "Night Remy" she whispered before she walked into her room.
Remy stood out there for a couple minutes before he turned around and walked into his room for another night plagued with the two-toned beauty who captured his heart.
Neither of them noticed the five pairs of eyes watching the two of them. Four of them which walked into a room and the last closing his door. "I've got to get them together" Jamie whispered to himself.
-----
Once the four teens were in Pietro and John's room they hopped on the bed (John and Wanda, Pietro and Kitty) and looked at each other.
"We have to get them together!" they all said at once.
"Rogue totally deserves to be happy" Kitty said.
"Lord knows she wasn't with Bobby" John added.
"And Remy needs someone to be by his side no matter what" Wanda said with a sigh.
"He hasn't had anyone besides me and Wanda" Pietro told them in a normal speed.
They all nodded and agreed that they would get their friends together. "Now" Wanda said with an evil grin. "About you two"
-----
Rogue woke up to the jumping on her bed and looked p to see Jamie jumping up and down and Remy smirking as he leaned against the wall. "Jamie sugah, can yah please stop jumping?" she asked with a groan. Jamie nodded and got off of the bed.
"Had a good night chéri?" Remy asked.
"Coulda been bettah" she muttered. She turned to Jamie and smiled. "As soon as Ah get ready an' make us something tah eat we'll go an' get yah some clothes an' furniture"
"Remy already made breakfast cher" he said. He pointed to the night stand beside her bed and here was a tray of food, a cup of coffee, and orange juice.
Rogue smiled as she took a drink of the orange juice. "Thanks Swamp Rat" she said with a grin to him.
Jamie snickered which cause the two teens to look at him. He instantly stood up straight and gave them an innocent look.
Rogue shook her head as she ate her breakfast in quiet. Once she was finished she stood up and stretched. "Ah'm gonna take a shower an' get changed. No funny business what-so-evah" she said, looking straight at Remy.
"Can Remy join de belle femme?" he asked with a lopsided grin.
"Eww!" Jamie said as he stuck out his tongue and "coughed". His face was contorted into that of disgust.
"Swamp Rat! Yah scared Jamie!" Rogue snapped as she hit him lightly on the arm.
Remy smirked and grabbed her bare hand with his gloved one. "Not now chéri de garçon still be present" he said with a smirk.
Rogue glared at him and went to get some clothes before she went into the bathroom to get ready.
"You like her don't you?" Jamie asked.
Remy grinned and looked at him. "An' what make y' say dat?" he asked curiously.
"Coz, I can tell by the way you look at her" he said as he hopped up on the bed. "She likes you too"
"Really?" he asked with amusement. He was about to say something when Rogue came out of the bathroom dressed in a pair of black hip huggers, a green shirt and long black gloves. If it weren't for Jamie being there and for Rogue not letting him get close to her he would have swept her in his arms and kiss her senseless. "Y' look good cher" he told her with a lopsided grin.
"Thanks Swamp Rat" she said. She turned to Jamie and smiled as she held out her hand to him. "Ready tah go get yah some things fo' yah room and some clothes?" she asked.
Jamie nodded and took her gloved hand in his. "Roguey, when it's just you, me, and Remy you don't have to cover up" he told her with a genuine smile.
That made Rogue smile and ruffle his hair. "Ah know sweetie" she told him. "Ah'll make sure tah remember that 'kay?"
He nodded and grinned. "Remy you comin'?" he asked.
"Yeah pup, Remy comin'" he said with a smile. He felt Jamie slip his small hand into his and grinned. He ruffled his hair with his other hand and smirked at the face he made.
"Hey!" he protested. "No messing up my hair!"
"Yah've corrupted him Cajun" Rogue said with a grin.
"Y' wound me cher" he said as he clutched his heart in mock hurt.
"Shut it Swamp Rat"
-----
"Oh! I like that color!" an excited 11 year-old said. He had pointed out a dark blue color on the color wheel.
"Okay pup, we'll paint yoah room that colah t'morrow" Rogue said with a smile.
"But chéri" Remy whined. "Remy non like t' paint" he said as he pouted cutely.
"Too bad Swamp Rat" she said with a smirk.
"Besides Rems, you have me to help!" Jamie said excitedly.
"Okay den p'tite, Remy help pain'" he said with a cheeky grin.
-----
"Ah'm so tired!" Rogue said as they got out of the jeep. "An' mah feet are killin' meh!"
Remy smirked as he walked over to her and picked her up bridal style. "Den Remy carry y' cher"
"Remy LeBeau! Y' put meh down raght this instant or else!" Rogue warned.
Remy raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Or else what chéri?"
"Remy," Rogue said, "we should be helpin' Jamie out"
"Don' worry p'tite, de pup got it handled" he said as he jerked his head to the five Jamies, Kurt, John, and Pietro getting the bags from the car.
Rogue sighed knowing she had been defeated and nodded her head solemnly. "Okay Swamp Rat, yah can take meh tah mah room but NO funny business"
"Oui chéri"
-----
"They're-going-to-Rogue's-room" Pietro said as he sped back to the group.
"Great!" John said as he helped grab some more bags.
"Awesome! Maybe they will realize they deserve each other" Jamie commented with a grin. The other three just smirked at him and he grinned proudly. He still wasn't all too comfortable with them but decided that if Rogue and Remy trusted them then he could try to.
"You-wanna-help-kid?" Pietro asked. Jamie just stared blankly at him.
"He asked if you wanted to help us get the two together" John told him.
"Okay I'll help" he said.
"Good, we meet in Speedy's and my room" he told him.
-----
"Okay Swamp Rat, we're here so yah can put meh down now" Rogue told him.
Remy shook his head 'no' and opened the door. He walked over to her bed and put her down. "Dere y' go cher" he said.
"Thanks Remy" she said softly as she pulled off her boots. "Yah really didn' have tah carry meh upstairs. Ah could've managed on mah own"
"It be mon pleasure t'ough" he told her. He sat down at the edge of her bed and grinned at her.
"Yah won't mind if Ah went an' got changed into some other clothes will yah?" Rogue asked.
Remy shook his head 'no' and turned away from her as she got some clothes and started to get changed. If it were any other woman he'd have watched without shame but he knew Rogue wasn't just any other woman. He couldn't explain it but he wouldn't allow himself to let Rogue be just another woman.
What dis fille be doin' t' moi? I don' understand 't. She makes moi feel differen', makes moi wanna be bettah jus' fo' a chance wit her. Merdi what's happenin' t' moi?
"Okay yah can turn around Remy" Rogue said snapping him out of his reverie.
Remy turned around to see her in a pair of black basketball shorts and a black training bra along with black silk gloves. "Rogue why won' y' go ou' wit' moi?"
"Cuz Rems, Ah can' touch yah. A man like yoahself needs touch an' Ah refuse tah open mahself up again an' be hurt"
"I promise I ain't gonna hurt y'" Remy said softly as he moved to sit right across from her. He brushed a strand of white hair from her face and looked straight into her eyes. "Chéri I swear, if I hurt y' at all yah can drain every las breath out of m'"
"So I can have a Swamp Rat like yah runnin' through mah head? No way" she scoffed.
"How it be y' turn a serious situation like dis an' turn i' t' somet'in playful?" Remy asked with an amused smirk.
"Its a necessity in this field o' work Cajun" she said as she leaned forward some.
"Well if dat be de case den dis ol' Cajun fit in perfectly" he replied as he moved closer to her. His lips were mere centimeters from her and was just about to press his lips against hers when she put her fingers to his lips. He sighed defeatedly and pressed his lips against her gloved hand.
"Please don't do this tah meh Remy" she pleaded as she tried to will the tears away. "Ah can' take it anymoah. Ah don't wanna get hurt again"
"Who hurt y' p'tite?"
"More people than yah could imagine" she muttered as she looked down in shame. "More than Ah'd lahke tah admit" she whispered.
Remy moved to her side and brought her in his lap wrapping his arms around her. "Den tell moi who hurt y'" he urged.
"No!" she growled. "Ah refuse tah talk about it! Ah will not have people pity meh cuz Ah can' touch an' Ah've been 'bused by mah own 'father'!" She pushed him away from her roughly as she got up and started pacing.
Remy pushed himself off the bed and walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her causing her to stop pacing. "I never said I'd pity y' Rogue" he told her. "Je ne vous plaindrais jamais. Je connais votre non pour accepter la pitié" he whispered in french.
Rogue stopped when she felt his arms wrap around her and sighed. A few tears fell from her eyes as she looked down at the ground. "Ah'm sorry Remy. Ah didn' mean tah snap at yah or push yah. A-Ah jus' don't lahke tah talk about mah past"
"'S okay p'tite, lets jus' get y' back in bed tah sleep" he said as he picked her up and walked over to the bed. He put her down and pulled the covers back before he gently laid her down. He pulled the covers over her and brushed some hair out of her face.
Rogue gave a sweet smile and looked at him through half-closed eyelids. "Stay with meh Remy…please"
"Always Rogue" Remy muttered as he slipped in beside her. He wrapped one arm around her waist and held her close to him, not wanting to let her go. Ever.
-----
(A/N I was thinking about leaving right here but decided I wouldn't be too mean…I'll put you through enough angst of these two later)
-----
Rogue shifted under the covers and moved closer to the warmth. She smiled softly as she felt an arm around her waist tighten and she put her hand on the person's chest. She felt the weight of someone half on top of her and half off. She gasped in realization of the closeness between her and another person. She tried to slip out of the bed unnoticed but felt the person tighten their hold on her.
"Rogue, chéri jus' go back t' sleep" Remy muttered, his face hidden in her hair.
"Remy we gotta get up" she hissed. "If Logan catches us-"
"M'siuer Claws won't do anyt'ing" he grumbled.
"Remy we gotta get up" she said as she tried to wiggle out of his grasp.
Remy groaned as he felt her wiggle beneath him. "Mon Dieu cher, stop dat" he growled as he held her wrist.
"Gambit get off o' meh befoah Ah drain yah" she threatened.
Remy sighed and rolled off of her. "Sorry p'tite, Remy not be a mornin' person" he apologized.
"Don't worry sugah" she said as she stood up and went to get clothes before heading into the bathroom.
"'S dere anyway Remy can get out o' paintin' t'day?"
"No way Swamp Rat"
"Mon Dieu"
-----
"Swamp Rat!" Rogue shrieked.
"Wha'?" he asked with an innocent grin.
"Yah bettah stop getting' paint all ovah meh or else!" she growled menacingly.
Jamie snickered into his hand and watched the two with amusement. He turned to the door and gave the thumbs up to four spying teens.
"Bu' cher y' look good wit' blue pain'"
"Yeah an' yoah gonna look good unconscious on thah floah'(floor)" she hissed.
"'S long as y' knock Remy out wit' a kiss den Remy don' mind"
"Ah'll show yah!" she growled as she removed an old pair of green gloves.
"Roguey don't!" Jamie said. "Why don't you go and relax, me and Remy got it covered"
"Nah that's okay sugah, Ah'll stay an' help" she said with a smile. She slipped her gloves back on and started to paint again. "Hey Jamie, why don't yah use yoah powers and make copies of yoahself tah help us paint?" she suggested.
"Okay Roguey" he said with a smile.
"Hey Remy came up wit' dat nickname homme!"
"Yeah and I took it!" he said as he stuck his tongue out at him.
-----
"Oh mah Gawd!" Rogue said as he fell back on her bed. "Ah can't believe we jus' spent thah whole day paintin'!"
Remy smirked as he hopped on her bed. "Now y' know why Remy tried tah get outta paintin'"
"Yeah but Ah'm glad we helped out Jamie" she said as she turned to her side to look at him. "Why don't yah go out without yoah sunglasses sugah?"
"Because not everyone's as 'cceptin' 'bout mon eyes like y' cher" he told her as he brushed some hair away from her face. "Where'd y' get de white streaks p'tite?" (A/N: Okay I know in the movies its Magneto but you know what, I don't like how that happened so I'll go with the comics just like I did with her eyes and hair cuz her hair is auburn w/white!)
"Ah was born with them" she said with a shrug.
"So chéri, need help washin' off all de pain'?" He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and smirked.
"In yoah dreams Swamp Rat" she retorted with a roll of her eyes. "Ah'm jus' gonna sleep" She moved under the covers and looked over at him. "You can stay if yah want jus' no funny business okay?"
Remy nodded and slipped under the covers with her and wrapped his arms around her bringing her close to him. "Bonne nuit mon chéri ange"

A/N ver. 2.0: Okay so I hope you guys liked this chapter. I wanted it full of Romy goodness because you all will probably hate me later on because I hate myself for it. Okay so I said I would have some translations for those who don't understand French. Hopefully I won't have to use the common ones used frequently because that'd be really tedious and I'm a lazy person. So here's the French!
Translations:
Laissez-moi vous aimer- Let me love you
Bonne nuit mon chéri ange- Good night my darling angel
Je ne vous plaindrais jamais. Je connais votre non pour accepter la pitié- I would never feel sorry for you. I know your not to accept pity
Chéri- darling
Cher- dear
P'tite (petite)- little one
Mon Dieu- my God
M'siuer (monsieur) – Mister
Okay well there are your translations. I'll probably write the simple ones down for a couple of chapters until I'm sure you all won't need it. Then I'll only do the phrases and actual sentences in French. Well that's all until the next chapter! Here's a little clue as to what'll happen.
John and Wanda go out to the movies and a night on the town. Kitty and Pietro hang out around the mall with Jamie to give Rogue and Remy some time alone and Rogue and Remy have a long stroll on the grounds.
It should be out next week!
Shout outs!
