Chapter 37
"So what's the big surprise you wanted to give me?" I asked.
We both lay in bed, the sun slowly rising and making its presence known through the window. I lay with half of my body in Logan, playing with his chest hair.
"Well, I was thinking that this weekend, we could get married." he said.
I sat up, pulling the blanket along with me and looked at him with shock.
"This weekend?" I asked.
"Yea. Is that okay?" he asked.
"Well, it seems kind of sudden don't you think?" I asked him, a bit scared.
"I know it's sudden, but Pix, I really want to marry you." he said.
He sat up and grabbed my hands into his as he said this. I was a little scared at the thought of getting married so soon. Yes we had been engaged for awhile, but things still felt too sudden, but seeing the look in Logan's eyes made me give in.
"Okay." I smiled.
"Really?" he asked, non believing.
"Yes really!" I exclaimed.
He pulled me into a kiss, which ended up having us both not emerge from our rooms until after noon.
I walked into the kitchen after having a shower, well, what consisted of a shower. Logan would really leave me alone. But I was starving and needed food. I opened the fridge and grabbed everything I would need for a sandwich. I pulled out some pickles and a water and sat down, devouring my food.
"Hey Wings, what's up?" said Sarah.
"Nothing." I said with my mouth full of food.
"Hot." she said.
"I know." I replied with a smlie.
"So what's knew with you?" she asked.
"Well, Logan and I are getting married this weekend." I said, taking another bite of my food.
"What!" she exclaimed, turning around. "And you didn't bother to tell me! What kind of friend are you!"
"Well, I'm a great friend thank you very much, because I only found out about this morning!" I yelled back.
"Oh." she said.
"Yea oh." I said. "Logan said he had everything ready, I just need to get a dress."
"Well, I have my old one you could wear." said Sarah.
"Flip, if you hadn't noticed, I'm not as thin as I used to be." I laughed.
"We can alter it you idiot." she laughed.
"Bitch." I said.
"Hoe." she countered.
"Slut." I said.
"Fine you win, I can't think of anymore." she laughed.
"Well, do you know anyone who can sew, because I surely can't, at least nothing of that size." I said.
"I think Storm can sew really good. We'll ask her later. Right now, I'm starving!" she said.
She sat down next to me and dug into her food. I had already finished mine and was eyeing her french fries. I went to grab one but was slapped on the hand. I gave her a scowl and turned towards the window. The sun was bright outside, and you could see kids running and playing and laughing. I moved my eyed over towards Sarah and saw she wasn't paying attention to her plate. I used my mind to levitate a fry and sent it my way. Sarah saw me grab it from thin air and eat it.
"Cheater." she said, stuffing a fry into her mouth.
"Skank." I laughed.
She threw a fry at my head but I caught it before it made contact. I grabbed it out of the air and ate it. When we were done we threw our plates away and went in search of Storm. She was in her office making out lesson plans for the next day.
"Hey Storm." said Sarah.
"Oh hey guys, what's going on?" she asked as we sat down in front of her desk.
"Well, I'm getting married this weekend and I was wondering if you would alter Sarah's wedding dress for me, seeing as how I'm a little bigger than I used to be." I smiled.
"You're getting married this weekend? I knew Logan was up to something." said Storm. "I'll alter the dress for you. Do you want to do it tomorrow? I only have one class to teach and then I'm free the rest of the day."
"We can do it in the evening, I have to work in the office tomorrow." I said.
"I though Jean was working?" asked Sarah.
"She was supposed to, but her and Scott are going somewhere for the day." I said.
"Oh." said Sarah.
"Okay, well when you're ready just come and get me." said Storm.
"Thank you so much." I said.
"No problem." replied Storm.
We left her office after a few more discussions of random things and went outside to the gardens. We sat on a bench in the shade, watching the kids running around like hyper bunnies.
"So, do you have names picked out yet?" asked Sarah.
"No, I don't even know what it is yet." I said.
"You haven't had an ultrasound?" she asked.
"No, I can do it on myself but I would rather have Jean do it, that way if we don't want to know what it is, I won't know." I said, replaying the sentence back to myself. "Did that make sense?"
"Yea." laughed Sarah.
"Okay." I laughed.
"What about you? Any names?" I asked.
"Well, if it's a girl we want Emma, and if it's a boy, Joshua. But we're still throwing around boy's names. I really want Emma though, if we have a girl." said Sarah.
"Well those are pretty names. If I have a girl, I want Liliana Marie, and if I have a boy, I want Tristan Joseph." I said.
"What does Logan think?" asked Sarah.
"He doesn't know yet." I laughed. "We really haven't had time to pick out baby names. But since I sit in an office for eternity, I come up with some weird names."
"I bet." said Sarah.
"Don't you girls no it's not safe to be out here all by yourself?" said Logan, walking up behind us.
"We're not by ourselves, we have a dashing and handsome young man like yourself here to protect us." I smiled.
"I am at your service pretty lady." said Logan.
"You guys make me sick." laughed Sarah.
"Oh like you and Ryan are any better!" I laughed.
"Oh, we are so better than you two." said Sarah.
"Is that a dare?" I said.
"Maybe." she smiled.
"Alright you two, knock it off." said Logan.
Me and Sarah started laughing at each other. Logan only rolled his eyes, gave me a kiss on the lips, and walked off towards the group of kids who were doing something that didn't sit too well with Logan.
"I would hate to have Logan as my teacher." said Sarah.
"Oh, deep down he's just a big old teddy bear." I said, cocking my head to the side to get a better look at his backside.
"Only if you're sleeping with him." said Sarah.
"Which I am if I can point out." I said.
Sarah and I went our separate ways when we decided a nap was in order. We went into our separate bedrooms and passed out on our beds, falling more in love with sleep than ever before.
I woke up to something licking my face. I cracked an eye open to see two eyes staring at me. At first I didn't recognize them, but as I opened my eyes further, I saw they were outlined in dark fur.
"Sneakers!" I shouted, sitting up a little to quickly.
I sat still for a minute, hoping the nausea would pass, and thank goodness it did. I scooped Sneakers up into my arms and gave her tons of kisses.
"Where on earth have you been?" I asked, setting her down.
"Vacation." she said.
"Vacation. Cats don't go on vacation. Their vacation consists of sleep." I said.
"Yes, but I'm not like other cats." she said.
"Too true." I replied. "So where'd you go?"
"I did some investigating. Ever since that Strycker guy died, I've been searching for a base, and I found it." she said.
"Did you learn how to talk more prominently while you were away?" I asked.
"No, I've just never had a real conversation with you." she said.
"Oh. So where's the base?" I asked.
" I think we should tell the professor." she said.
"Well, can't you just tell me and then we can tell him again?" I asked.
"Fine, it's up in Canada, more north than Strycker's old fort. This is the base for his son, Jason." she said.
"Wow, you went all the way up there? How'd you get there?" I asked.
"I have my ways. Now the professor. I have more information that he would probably like to hear." she said.
"Fine." I said.
I picked her up and teleported myself into the professors office. Saved me from running through the halls.
"Pixie, I really think you should wait on the teleportation until we know how it affects the baby." he said.
"Yes I know I know, but this was really urgent." I said.
"Oh Sneakers, so glad to have you home." said the professor.
"Sneakers has some information she would like to give to you. She's been on 'vacation'." I said, using air quotes for the word vacation.
"Really?" said the professor.
Their was silence between Sneakers and the professor, and I was becoming increasingly intrigued. I tried listening to their minds but they blocked me out. I felt so used.
"Pixie, would you mind leaving me and Sneakers alone for a minute?" said the professor.
My mouth hung open as I turned around and left the room. I was being dismissed because of a cat, a cat no less who shouldn't even be allowed to talk because she's even more annoying when she can voice her opinion! I was a little annoyed and decided ice cream and a movie was in order.
I used my mind to send a message to Sarah, telling her to join me on my movie and ice cream binge. She happily obliged and was downstairs in a matter of seconds. We found a movie we hadn't watched in awhile and pigged out on our usual, cookies n cream ice cream with Hershey's syrup.
"You wanna talk about it?" she asked.
"Nope." I said.
And we left it at that, or at least until tomorrow when I was more relaxed and not as angry.
