Here it is... :)

Storm took the stool next to Bobby, placing a bowl of salad down on the counter in front of her.
"Is everything alright Bobby? You haven't touched your dinner."
He shrugged, rolling a meatball around his plate of spaghetti. "Just thinkin', y'know?"
"Did you want to talk about it?" she asked, biting a mouthful of Greek salad.
He let out a breath "I don't know…"
"Is it school?" She turned to face him better. "You can talk to me."
He smiled "Yeah, I know."
Storm had always been his secret confidant. He could tell her anything.
"Promise you won't flip?"
"I don't like where this is headed." She raised an eyebrow.
"There's this… person. A girl. I sort of… like."
Storm grinned "Oh. A girl."
"Yeah."
"I see. Go on." Storm nodded, putting down her fork to concentrate better.
"I don't want to say anything… she's really… above my level."
Storm furrowed her brow "Bobby, don't say that. You under estimate yourself."
"You don't understand Storm." He shook his head.
"Then help me understand."
Jubilee danced into the kitchen with a grin causing Bobby to clam up.
He wouldn't talk with Jubilee there.
"Hello!" She greeted them, opening the fridge door. She yammered on for a bit about God knows what before giving them a wave and leaving, her arms full of snacks.
"The girls must be having a sleep over again."
"Yeah, either that or Jubilee's lettin' herself go."
Storm smiled, "So anyways… you were saying."
Bobby let out a breath. "She's above my level. She's… beautiful and smart and funny… and she's a little older."
Storm frowned. Bobby was eighteen and most of the girls he hung around with were his age or younger.
"Do I know this young woman?"
He ran his hand through his hair with a smile "That's it…. That's all you're getting out of me."
He picked up his plate and excused himself.

Logan couldn't sleep. What else was new? He trudged down the hall, wearing a pair of flannel pajama bottoms.
He followed the sound of music coming from the rec. room. Probably the TV.
As he got closer, he could tell it wasn't the TV. It was the piano.
No one ever touched the piano. No one that he knew of knew how to play.
He stopped in the doorway watching her stroke the keys slowly; plunking out random notes, getting a feel for it.
She began to play. She was pretty good. Then she started to sing.
She had to know he was standing there, it was her gift.
"When you were here before… couldn't look you in the eye. You're just like an angel… you're skin makes me cry. Y'float like a feather… in a beautiful world…" She stopped singing, still playing the melody. It wasn't Logan's taste, but she was good.
She let out a breath, looking down at the keys and continued. "I don't care if it hurts. I wanna have control. I want a perfect body…I want a perfect soul." She let out another breath. She was struggling to get through it for some reason. As if the words were painful for her to sing. "I want you to notice… when I'm not around. Y'so very special… I wish I was special. But I'm a creep… I'm a weirdo… what the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here."
She finished the song, rested her forehead on the piano and shook her head.
"Yer pretty good."
She gasped and spun around, clutching a hand to her chest. "Jesus! Logan!" she breathed heavily "You scared the shit outta me."
He furrowed his brow.
She obviously read his confused expression. "…Rogue."
That's all she needed to say. He put two and two together.
"Yer good."
She shook her head "No I'm not." She looked away, blushing slightly.
He moved over to her seat at the piano, sitting down next to her.
"Y'should learn t'take a compliment."
She let out a breath. "You can't sleep either?"
"Nah. Rarely ever can." He shrugged. "What's up with you?"
"Honest?" She turned to face him "I'm too jumpy. I'm… scared."
He studied her face. She wasn't lying.
"I mean… not scared per-say…" She cracked her neck. Couldn't let the tough chick image dissipate. "I'm used to being aware of…everything around me and now… it feels like I'm so… vulnerable."
He shook his head with a laugh "You? Vulnerable?"
"Yeah, laugh it up." She shoved his shoulder.
"I don't know kid; it's just kinda hard to imagine you afraid." He leaned back. "Not the damsel in distress type."
She looked him in the eye, slowly moving in, inches from his face. "Don't call me kid." She whispered softly before pressing her lips against his.
He moved back slightly causing her to bristle.
Her intense stare pierced through him like a knife. Even without her powers she was able to pull that look off.
"I think it's time for bed." He stood up. "I'll walk you to your room."
She stared at him for a moment, silently processing the information before nodding and standing up.
"No thanks. I'll be fine."
She walked past him quickly, heading up to her room.
She felt incredibly stupid. If only she'd had her powers, she wouldn't have been so brazen. She cracked her knuckles as she pushed her window open, propping herself up in the sill and lighting her cigarette. She wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Rogue smiled as AJ walked through the doorway. She looked tired.
"Ah couldn't sleep a wink last night." She shook her head "Ah could hear everything… drove me nuts."
AJ smiled, rubbing her eyes with a small yawn "I couldn't hear anything… drove me nuts."
Gambit grinned "Mon poor fleur." He took Rogue's gloved hand. "Remy c'n tire you out…"
"Bite me Swamp Rat."
"Any time chère." He grinned.
AJ ruffled up Bobby's hair, flopping down in the couch beside him.
"It's good t'be back. Didn't realize how much I missed the sound of a humming bird whirring around through the night… driving me insane…"
"You can really here zat?" Kurt furrowed his brow with a smile.
"Believe it." Rogue's eyes widened.
AJ balanced a pen on the tip of her finger as she spoke, kicking her feet up on the coffee table with a grin. "So how's Jean feeling?"
Rogue furrowed her brow, about to ask what she meant when Jean walked around the corner.
"Did I hear my name?"
AJ sat up, her eyes wide as she looked at Jean. She narrowed her eyes with a grin "My my my… Rogue was right… there is something different about you…"
Jean shook her head "I don't know what you mean." She said with a grin.
"Oh. Okay." AJ pressed her lips together. "Listen boys, can I have a moment with my ladies. Girl stuff."
"Girl stuff…" Kurt rolled his eyes as he stood up and followed Bobby and Remy out of the room.
Jean closed the door behind them, searching AJ's face.
"How did you know?"
"I can tell these kinda things. Hell, even Rogue picked it up with my powers."
"What? What did Ah pick up?" Rogue shook her head.
"How long?"
Jean let out a breath "I don't know. I think about… two months."
"You haven't told him. Have you?"
"No!" Jean let out a laugh "God no!"
"What is goin' on!"
"She's knocked up." AJ said with a grin, her gaze moving over to Rogue.
Rogue's jaw dropped, looking at Jean as a small smile began to spread across her lips.
"Serious?"
Jean nodded. She couldn't hide her excitement. She was practically glowing.
She and Scott had only been married for four months. They'd planned on waiting at least two years before starting a family, especially since Jean was still a crucial member of the X-men.
She stood up, moving over to Jean and giving her a careful hug "Congratulations!"
Jean smiled "Thanks. I don't know how to tell Scott. He'll flip."
"Ah, he'll live." AJ waved a hand in the air "Him havin' a hissy fit certainly isn't going to change the fact that you're having a baby."
She flipped her long dark blonde locks over her shoulder, looking back to the TV set.
"Logan."
"Excuse me?" Jean furrowed her brow.
The doors opened and Logan stepped in, looking from Jean to Rogue.
"I hate when she does that." Rogue shook her head with a smile. "It's so creepy."
"Hope I'm not interrupting." He grunted.
"No." Jean smiled "We're finished. Our human doorbell here announced your arrival."
AJ smiled at her over her shoulder, pulling her hat down over one eye with a fake pout. "That's all I am t'you!"
She stood up, suddenly filled with a bought of confidence. She had him where she wanted him after all, she could tell as soon as he walked in the door.
She walked over to the door, moving past him slowly.
"Take care tiger." She gave him a wink, walking down the hall with full knowledge that he was watching her. She'd missed her powers.
"Yo!" Rogue clapped her hands together. "Eyes forward soldier."
Logan snapped back to reality, giving her a grunt. "You gunna use that, or is it just for decoration?"
She looked at the remote in her hand with a smile. "Decoration. So what was up with that? Y'checkin' out the new girl?"
He narrowed his eyes leaning close to her "Excuse me." He whispered, snatching the remote from her hand.
"Hey!" Rogue protested with a laugh "You men are all alike. Take, take, take."

AJ made her way down to the danger room. She wanted to take advantage of the facilities, and it was such a great way to use her powers. She'd blindfolded herself and set the computer level to difficult. She wanted to push herself.
Gambit watched from the control room. He'd volunteered to help her out, and besides, he couldn't turn down the opportunity to watch her bound around the danger room.
Bobby stood behind Gambit, his arms crossed as he watched her intently. It was amazing how she could tell what was going on despite the blindfold. She evaded attacks and took computer opponents out with what looked like the greatest of ease.
"Don' get y'hopes up mon homme."
Bobby furrowed his brow. "What?"
"Gambit c'n read yo'emotions. Remember?"
The young man shook his head "I don't know what you're talking about."
The computer announced the end of the fight and AJ made her way up to the control room.
"Hey kid!" She grinned "Did I impress you gentlemen?"
Bobby chuckled causing Gambit to shake his head. "Dere gentlemen in d'room dat Remy don' know 'bout?"
"Good point." AJ laughed.
"You're pretty impressive AJ." Bobby shook his head "Blindfolded?"
"That's not all I can do with a blindfold…" She grinned. "Okay boys. I'm gunna go hit the showers. Be good."

For the next few days, she couldn't help but notice the effort Logan put into avoiding her. Not that she minded. Normally, she loved toying with men, playing with their emotions, baiting them along until she was fed up; until she got what she wanted from them. Or vice versa. But something about him was different. It was like he didn't care about that sort of thing which made the cat/mouse chase unappealing.
She shook the thought from her head as she pushed her dresser. It screeched across the floor until coming to rest next to her window. Perfect.
She stepped up on her dresser, using it as a support to step up onto her window sill. She poked her head out the open window and smiled at the starry sky. She could reach the roof from here. Even more perfect.
Footsteps. She spun around, nearly losing her balance, she caught herself slicing her hand on the window sill in the process.
She cursed, jumping off the sill and grabbing her hand with a wince. AJ stomped towards her door with a frown. She pulled her door open and stepped out, her attention on her bleeding hand. She practically ran into the pedestrian walking by her door.
"Watch it kid." He barked, grabbing her shoulders to keep her balanced. "Rogue take yer powers again?"
She didn't look at him, her eyes still fixed on her wound. "Sorry… no…"
"Jeeze… what did y'do?" He furrowed his brow, looking at her hand as she blinked slowly.
"I fell." Her face was beginning to turn pale; she looked up at him and shook her head "I think I'm gunna throw up."
"Well… do it that way would ya?" He took her arm and led her to the bathroom, pulling the first aid kit out of the cupboard.
"Can't take a hit eh?" He said with a hint of a grin, running her hand under water.
She leaned back resting her head against the wall. "It's the blood… can't stand the sight of my own blood."
He dried her hand, holding the towel in place for a bit to stop the bleeding.
"Thank you. I mighta passed out." She said with a smile as color began to return to her face.
"Yeah. Don't mention it." He grunted keeping his eyes on her wound. He pulled some gauze out of the first aid kit and wrapped it around the cut. "There. Now stay outta trouble."
She smiled "Don't think that's possible."
He smirked.
"Was that a smile?" She chuckled "A rare occurrence for the face of a tiger. Excuse me… Wolverine."
He shrugged, packing up the first aid kit as he spoke. "Nah, just need a good reason t'smile."
She tilted her head slightly "Am I a good reason?"
Logan squared his jaw, looking down at the kit.
She pressed her lips together.
"I'm sorry." She let out a breath, frustrated with the curse of her normally acceptable flirtations. "I… I didn't mean-" she frowned.
"Hey. Don't…" He shook his head.
They stared at each other for a moment before she moved in.
He kissed her slowly, running a hand through her hair, lifting her up setting her on the sink.
"Wait." She pushed him back slightly. She let out a breath before moving in again, pressing herself against him.They made their way down the hall to his room, amazingly without being seen. She kicked the door closed behind them, tearing his shirt off over his head, throwing him onto his bed avidly, caught up in the passion of the moment. She pulled off her own shirt, their lips parting for a mere second as she ran her hands along his firm chest.
There was no going back now.

Jessica... I think you're dad's cheating on me.

Hah... I just realized how weird that must sound to everyone else...
