Ch. 2 Revised

Remy stared at the pink plus sign that was shown at the tip of the pregnancy test.

Pregnant.

How the hell could she be pregnant? Scratch that, he knew how. But he did not understand. They were careful and used protection. He remembers being so very cautious. Even so, there he was, starring at the two pink lines, one crossing right through the middle of the other.

'Mon Dieu'

All her talk about how they were moving too fast, how she needed space, how her life was going to be over before it started…at least everything was beginning to make some sense.

"Merde…Remy, y' damn fool" he mumbled to himself.

A baby. An honest to God baby. No way could they have a baby, not when they themselves act as children. He cared for this girl, however he did not know if she cared for him after the extreme shouting match they just engaged in.

Remy took a deep breath and looked towards the now closed bathroom door. He took a few steps until he was face to face with the wooden barrier that stood between him and his girl.

"Rogue?" he called out in a soft voice, hoping to receive a response.

He heard the slight bustle and movement of another person on the other side of the door.

"Come out of 'dere, we need to talk"

Much to his surprise, the handle moved and the door opened slowly to reveal Rogue's empty expression. She stood, unaffected by Remy's currently shocked state. She crossed her arms and in an even tone responded,

"Ah really have nothing to say to you."

She then made to slam the door in his face, but Remy swiftly moved to place his foot in the door.

"Non, Non, Non" He took hold of her wrist and directed her body towards his. He looked straight at her as if to convey the seriousness of the situation at hand.

"Chere… 'dis isn't just going to go away. Dis' be pretty damn big. We be talking about a baby here. If you 'tink 'dat Remy's just gunna forget about what ya just said and move on wit' his life, then y' be way off."

He noticed her eyes were intently focused, the way they got when she was ready to challenge any words that may come out of his mouth.

"Really? Ah thought that you said it would be a good idea for us to take time apart."

Two points for his Southern Belle.

Remy knew she was not going to be easy to talk to, in fact, he had just entered round one of taking on her difficult nature

"'Dat was before Remy knew 'dis be what you keepin from him." stated a slightly aggravated Remy, firmly standing his ground.

"Oh please, don't even make it sound like you are a victim and Ah somehow betrayed you." Her eyes narrowed. Man, this woman was seriously determined to be as tough as ever. Breaking through the barrier was not going to be easy.

"Ya could have told me Rogue! Ya didn't have to just keep it t' yourself and dwell on it this whole time!" Remy's patience had run thin. Rogue was hardly showing the thoughts and concerns that were passing through her mind, making Remy himself slightly concerned.

"Come on Remy, give meh a break Ah only just found out about this a few days ago-"

"What the hell do you mean a few days? How long is a few days?"

"Five..."

"Five! Dat's not a few days Rogue! Is that why you went downtown earlier this week?"

"Ah had an appointment-"

"An appointment 'dat I wasn't even aware of! Y' just hid it from me—y' always hiding from me when y' know it be important!" Remy could hardly stop the flow of words once again and began to let his frustration get the better of him.

"Great reaction Remy" Rogue responded sarcastically, moving her gaze off of him.

Unbelievable. It's like she was made of stone. Did she not understand what was going on?

"At least I am reacting! You are just standing there, hardly letting me into that head of yours!"

"Ah don't know how to react! What do you want me to say? What could you possibly want me to say Remy?" Her words were strong and her face serious.

They both stood there in the doorframe looking at each other directly.

"I want y' t' take the sarcasm down a few notches."

"Ah'll handle this the way Ah want." She said crossing her arms.

"Jesus Rogue, look at 'dis! We're actin' ridiculous, how d' hell are we suppose t' have a kind when we be actin' this way?"

"What are you suggesting Remy?"

"Chere…M' sayin dat be a different way for us t' do this. Let's just calm down and sit down so we can talk about what 'dis means for us. I mean, chere, a million things be runnin through Remy's mind. How is this going to work? Are we going to keep it here, are we going to move out? Are y' even going to stop ignoring me and let me know how y' feel bout' any of 'dis-"

"Stop it! Ah don't know, okay! Ah don't know! All Ah do know is that Ah don't want to talk about it, Ah don't want to think 'bout it and Ah sure as hell do not want to make any plans for it yet!"

Remy let out a stress filled sigh and placed both his hands on Rogue's shoulders.

"I want you to talk to me Rouge…you have been like a stranger t' me these past few days…past few weeks actually. Now more 'den ever I need you to talk t' me-"

She instantly shook out of his hold and cut him off before he had a chance to finish

"Just get out."

After staring at her for a quick second his eyes became filled with confusion but he kept on a strong face.

"Non." He stated firmly.

By this Rogue felt the anger overwhelm her body…this was too much. She could not think about the situation at hand, she could not let the truth sink in. She would rather not hear of it at all.

"Ah said get out!"

"We ain't done here!" he shouted feeling the anger take over his being as well. Rogue was refusing to talk to him and was avoiding reality completely.

"Whatever Remy! If you won't leave then Ah will!" She stormed past him fuming with anger and distraught.

"Don't y' dare walk out of here Rogue!"

"Watch Me!"

With that said, he watched as she made her way out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
