Disclaimer: Blah blah same as usual, I do not own X-men or any of the characters associated with it.
A/N: Oh wow, it's been awhile once more. Eesh, I need to keep up here don't I. I'm so very sorry it's taken so long, but here is the next chapter. Hope you all enjoy, thank you all for reading and reviewing. Keep it up!! " Here ya go!!
Remy glanced down the large staircase to see the front doors fly open. He blinked and flew down the stairs just as Logan hurled inside falling to his knees. Remy focused to see just who he clenched to his chest. His eyes couldn't be deceiving him.
"Stormy!"
Logan took in deep breaths as his legs ached from running. His eyes fell down upon the goddess who was in his arms, and the pain disappeared. All he could feel was hers.
"Remy." He gasped, "The others." Remy nodded his head understanding just what he wanted.
Without having to be told twice, Remy stood full height and began yelling for the others.
Logan glanced down once more to Ororo. She looked so tired and dead. He could still feel her heart beat racing beneath him. That was a good sign. Her chest was heaving, fighting for air.
Xavier rolled into the room, followed by Scott and Rogue. They quickly ran to Logan and helped him up. Scott held onto Ororo, taking the two to the med lab.
Logan's eyes drifted closed as he was laid down upon one of the beds. They opened once more lingering on his goddess. She was out cold. They already had her connected to many machines. How he hated the sight. Taking a deep breath, he knew he would heal fast, but he couldn't help but feel exhausted. His eyes closed once more as sleep over took him his last thoughts on her.
The small amount of light in the room twisted and turned in the smoke that burned from the incense. Logan's nose flared open, sniffing in the smell. It smelt like sweet cinnamon and vanilla. His eyes drifted open only to be filled with the ever lasting smoke. Closing them once more, he felt as if he was dreaming.
A smile spread across his face. He didn't know why or how. But it was there. He felt at ease and happy, for no apparent reason. And then it hit him.
His eyes shot open, only to be found staring at the endless white ceiling of the med lab. How long had he been sleeping? Turning quickly, he couldn't feel the tightness in his muscles anymore. His ears pricked up as he heard the faint sounds of breathing machines from the distance.
Jean. He thought. He still couldn't help but feel sorry for the red head that had yet to waken from her coma state.
Throwing his legs over the side of the cold metal, he felt chills run all down his spine. His eyes stared downward to find him in only a pair of shorts. His feet and chest bare. But that was the least that should have been on his mind. Turning back towards his bed, he saw another by its side. His chest felt tight once more, as his eyes fell upon the beauty in the bed.
They didn't deserve to lay their eyes upon her. She didn't deserve this. She was better than them, higher in life. So why was she cursed so?
He could see the rise and fall of her chest, it had ceased slightly, still fighting against her lungs for air. He could tell by the looks of her, she was in pain. How he wished he could take it all away. But that was impossible. Striding slowly back towards her, his breaths came shorter as his sight became clearer. Tears fought to break free like so many times before the past week or so. But he wouldn't allow it to happen, not this time. He had to be strong, for Ororo.
Sitting down in a small chair that was placed by her bedside, he leaned forward and took her hand in his. Kissing her creamy skin on the palm of her hand softly, his chest racked silently in sobs.
"Darlin' I'm so sorry." Was all he could manage to release from his mouth.
Ororo couldn't open her eyes. It hurt too much to even breathe, why should she open her eyes? She tried not to move, but her body kept on anyways. Wishing with all her might, she wanted her lungs to just stop. The pain just wasn't worth it. Then she felt his hands, his lips.
That was her hope, he was her hope. All she had wanted was him, all this time. And now, he was right here. Right where she needed him. Ororo knew she loved Logan, she just never had the chance to tell him at the right moment. He couldn't feel the same, could he?
Her heart fluttered as he spoke. His voice alone was enough to chase all the darkness from her mind.
Logan didn't know she was conscious. He couldn't tell, for once couldn't even sense it. His mind was far too busy thinking about her.
"God 'Ro. How could I let dis happen? Do ya know how much yer scarin me? How much it hurts?" He didn't care if she couldn't hear him, actually he didn't want her to hear him like this. He was vulnerable, weak. In love.
"Please come back ta me. God 'Ro, do ya know how much I love ya darlin'?" He didn't care, it felt so right to say. He'd been carrying it inside for so long, and now to let it out. It felt so right.
Ororo's heart skipped a beat at the sound of his words. It took a minute for them to sink in. Suddenly, all her pain didn't matter. All that did, was him. Her eyes fluttered open, tear stricken already. Sobbing quietly, she let her gems stare upon his beautiful figure.
Logan caught her sobs, could sense her tears as they fell. He hesitated to let his eyes meet hers. But he couldn't help it, he needed to see those beautiful blue eyes open.
Tears fell from his eyes also, as he saw her awake. His Ororo finally awake by his side. God she looked so terribly weak and beaten up, but he didn't care. His heart beat as if against his very chest. His bones aching.
"Logan." She gasped. Just to hear his name from her lips. It was pure bliss.
"Oh darlin'" He fell forward onto the bed, taking her figure into his arms, sobbing with his goddess.
"Logan, is this real?" She had to ask, she didn't know what was or wasn't anymore. Her mind was so mentally damaged it was a wonder she could say a word.
Scott was the first to hear the commotion from the room. Glancing through the window he saw the two and knew not to interfere. It was about time.
"Yes 'Ro, this is real. More real than ever." Kissing her lips hard, he couldn't hold or hide his feelings for her any longer.
"I love you darlin'. I'm so sorry it took me so long to admit it."
Tears fell from her eyes as her body screamed out in agony. She couldn't believe this was really happening. She was alive, in Logan's arms. Where she had dreamed of being for so long.
"Logan...."Her sobs became harder, her breaths becoming shorter.
Logan could feel her pain, drying his eyes he moved back from her.
"I'm sorry didn't mean ta over whelm ya." His voice soft, afraid he had hurt her.
She knew what he was thinking, it was not his fault. Never was it his fault.
"Oh Logan." This time she was the one to make the leap. She didn't care how injured she was, right now all that mattered was him, this moment. Falling into his arms, she wrapped hers around him. Crying out her sorrows onto his shoulder, something she had been needing to do since she was young.
"I love you too, so much." Her chest ached, trying to fight her breaths.
Logan held her gently, rocking her back and forth, letting his tears mix with hers. This was something they both longed for. Something they needed to heal, together.
"I will never let ya down again darlin'. I shall be by yer side, for ever." This was promise he intended to make. Never to let anything happen to Ororo, his 'Ro.
"I love you Logan."
By this time, Scott, Remy, and the others were all gathered by the door, watching in on the lovers. Tears fell from their eyes. It was a sad sight to see, but something they all had been waiting for for so long.
Xavier smiled, he knew it was bound to happen. It was a tragedy how it came to be though.
"Welcome home." His voice rained through the room, their eyes not worried of Jean. That would come later, but upon the lovers that found each other.
