Lynx
Chapter 2
Logan rode all the way to Massachusetts before he realized where he was going. He could not believe that Sinister had been so stupid as to make a child from Sabretooth much less cross Creed's daughter with him. What kind of life are those kids going to have? How am I going to take care of them? Creed's going to find out sooner or later about them and then all hell was going to break loose.
Looking around, he wondered where he was? Oh, the other school, thought Logan. Well while I am here, I'll go see Jubes. Those two kids were a great help getting the baby out and settled at the mansion. He was so proud of her. Damn what am I going to tell her about the kids' parents?
"Hey, Jubes your Wolfie is here!" Shouted Paige.
"Wolfie!" Jubilee yelled.
She came running down the stairs like her pants were on fire. And jumped straight into his arms.
"Wolfie!" "How is the baby and Lynx?" "What is going to happen to Lynx now?" "Is she going to be transferred here?" She demanded all in a rush.
"Wait a dang minute girl I can only answer one question at a time and not with your mouth runnin' non stop," Wolverine growled with a smile. Now, he knew why he had come here. Jubilee would help him focus on what to do about the other children he felt he was responsible for.
Gambit lay on the bed in his room staring at the ceiling. They had completely cleaned out Sinister's lab of everything of use. And he was exhausted. He had gotten part of what Lynx wanted done without anyone being the wiser. Now, he was going to have to make some phone calls and spend a few hours on the computer to get the job done. He knew the girl was right. She had to have this stuff done for her so she could take care of herself and the baby. Lynx had told him that Wolverine was going to run once he found out that he was the father of her baby. And once he had his act together, he was going to try to separate them. She would die if she lost the only family that loved her. She was an empath and she was bonded to the little girl. A fact, that Beast had quickly discovered, when he tried to take the baby out of the lab. The baby howled like she was being killed.
Beast was examing Lynx again. She had finally woken up after being in a healing coma. Her condition had improved dramatically with the help of a feeding tube and several IV drips.
"Where is my baby?" She asked in a small whisper.
"She is in excellent condition my dear." "You don't have to worry about her now." "And how are you feeling?" He inquired.
"Of course, I am worried about her, she is my daughter," she said desperately try to get up.
Beast held her down gently.
"No, you can not get up right now young lady." "I want you to lie still." "And precisely how did you know you were her mother?"
"I read it in the files in Sinister's computer." "I didn't have anything else to do while I was trapped but use the computer." "I want to hold her now, please!" She begged desperately trying to rise again.
"Alright, I will bring her to you." Beast agreed, "If you will lay still
"Who was the woman we found in the lab?" He cautiously asked.
"My mother." "Her name was Sharon Oaks." "Sinister killed her." "I think she must have attacked him when she found out he was making more children." "She didn't want any more kids to suffer what I did." "I felt her die in my head!" "I lost my mind," she cried out pitifully and curled up into a ball. After a minute or two, she continued.
"I killed my father and then Sinister." "After, Sinister was dead I started looking for Mom." "That was when I found Megan." "I looked in his files to find out who she was." "He kept notes on everything."
"The Marauders found Sabre's and then Sinister's bodies." "They found me in the lab covered in their blood." "They trapped me in that lab." "And I couldn't get out." "I just stayed there and talked to Megan waiting for the X-Men to show up and help us just like Mom told me they would."
Beast handed over the baby to her. She kissed Megan on the forehead. Now holding her daughter, she looked very happy. "Your name little one," she said to her daughter, "is Megan Eileen Logan." "That is if your father will let you have his last name." "If not your last name will be Creed."
"What name did your parents give you Lynx?"
"My Dad and Sinister only knew me by Lynx." "Mom gave me my name and we never told." "I am Rowan Anne Creed."
"I do not believe there will be a problem in giving Megan the last name Logan."
Beast said looking concerned. No one knew where Logan had gone. Scott and Jean had gone out to his apartment and Harry's trying to find him but to no avail. Beast hoped he would come back home soon. These children needed to have their lives stabilized as soon as possible.
Later that night, Beast went to talk to Scott, Jean and Storm about Lynx.
"I have acquired the names of the children."
"You did?" "That's great," Jean said.
"The girl's name is Rowan Anne Creed aka Lynx." She has given her daughter the name Megan Eileen Logan."
"Logan should be here to help with this." Scott said as he frowned deeply.
"Yes, I think that is quite correct but unfortunately he has taken off and we do not know how long he will be gone." Stated Storm.
"I don't think he will be gone very long," said Jean. "I have a feeling he will be back soon."
"I hope so for all of their sakes." Hank replied.
"Are we going to call X-Force and tell Creed about his daughter and granddaughter?" Asked Orroro.
"No, not under any circumstances." Stated Scott with finality.
The next afternoon, Gambit hung up the phone and shut down his computer. There it was all done, he thought. A pleased smile spread across his face as he thought about the good job he had just completed. He had gotten Rowan a Social Security card, birth certificate and driver's license. The bank account he started for her was filled with money taken from the lab as well as straight out of a couple of Sinister's own accounts. He felt she would be pleased. The only snag was her age and who was to be her guardian. He had to change her instructions to pull everything off. He hoped she would not be mad. With everything done, he left his room with a smile.
He went down the hall and ran into Rogue. "Hi Chere," he said cheerfully.
"Hi yo self Swamp Rat." "What's got you so happy?" She said with a suspicious frown forming on her face.
"It just feel like it goin' to be a good day." "Have you seen de petites today?"
"No, I don't know if we can yet."
"Well Gambit want to go see."
Gambit and Rogue headed for the lab. Gambit opened the door for Rogue and she went in first with Gambit following.
"Henri, can we visit de petites?"
"Of course you can Gambit, Rogue." He said as he turned around to greet them. "I think that would be a very good idea since I can not sit on her all day to keep her here and work to accomplish anything of significance at the same time."
"What you mean by dat Henri?" Gambit questioned him.
"It means that she is as good of a patient as her father or Logan or you."
"Oh oui, Gambit see now." A huge smile was spreading across his face again.
Rogue approached the bed and said, "Hi Suga' how ya doing?"
"I'm feeling better," Lynx said more guardedly than Rogue liked.
"Chere, you no have to be afraid of Rogue she ain't going to bite you."
"I know," she said looking at her blanket.
"Chere, Gambit got a surprise fo' you."
"What?"
"Remy got everything you wanted."
Lynx sat up and threw herself around Gambit's neck and hugged him fiercely.
Rogue looked on with concern until she saw the happy smiles on their faces. Then she just got jealous. "What is going on here Swamp Rat?"
"Rowan, she ask fo' a favor an' Gambit do it."
"Rowan?" Rogue asked. "Is that your real name Suga?"
"Yes, Rowan Anne Creed." And my little girl's name is Megan Eileen Logan."
"Dose are beautiful names you an' de petite have."
"Thank you." She blushed and looked at her blanket.
"They sure are." "Now, what was this favor that ya asked Remy to do for ya?" "Ya need to know ya can't trust him as far as a snail could throw him."
"That isn't true Rogue," she said in Gambit's defense. "I can trust him and so can you." "You just don't trust yourself yet." "That's all."
Rogue's face turned hard. "How would you know anything about me or any of us?"
"I am not your enemy Rogue." "I am an empath." "I can feel these things." "Besides, I have my father's heightened animal senses."
Switching topics quickly, "Could you bring over Megan for me please Rogue?" "I am not supposed to get up yet."
"Sure Suga." Rogue walked over to the glass bassinette and picked up the baby very carefully. "She sure is pretty." Rogue smiled down at Megan. "I hope one day I can have a little girl just like her."
"Thank you Rogue." Lynx said when she took Megan into her arms. "I am sure with a little bit of help you can." "And I even think I know someone who will volunteer to help with the baby part." She looked Gambit right in the eyes.
Both Rogue and Gambit's eye brows shot up into their respective hairlines at that comment.
"I would like to ask a big favor of the two of you."
"What Chere?" Remy thought to himself, this girl was full of surprises maybe things were going to work out for a change.
"I would like for the two of you to be Megan's Godparents."
"What," cried both of them. They turned and looked at each other in surprise.
"I know you two want kids of your own but until you do I'm going to need help raising Megan."
"Well, since you put it dat way Petite," Remy jumped in before Rogue could say anything, a sly smile spreading across his face. "You not mind den de changes Remy have to make to your wish list to get it done," turning his charm on.
"What changes?" Lynx said with concern.
"Remy have to adopt you an' give your age as sixteen." "Dere was no way dat you pass fo' eighteen Chere." He said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"You adopted me?" "How did you get that by?" Rowan was looking at Remy like she was unsure about this whole situation.
"Remy say you an' he are half brother an' sister." "An' dat Remy de only family dat you have lef'."
"Did you talk to McCoy yet about what I told you?"
"No, an' Remy don't t'ink he goin' to." He stated with force.
"Oh my Stars and Garters," I have got to tell the others. Beast dashed from the back of the lab to his office and went straight to the phone.
