Chapter 3: Awakening

Med Lab

"Wha-" the little boy cried as he woke up in a bed, in an unfamiliar room.

"Oh! You're awake!" Rogue sighed happily, "How are ya feelin'…umm, Ah actually don't know ya name hun." She said in a very un-Rogue motherly voice.

"I'm Jamie Madrox, and I'm fhree!" Jamie said, happily holding up three fingers for display.

"Well, Ah'm Marie D'Acanto, but people mostly call meh Rogue. What do ya say we get ya a bath an' some food."

"Yeah, can I have Cap'n Crunch?! It's my favorite!"

"Of course. Now, let's get that bath going." Rogue picked up the boy, some towels, and extra clothes, then headed for the bathroom. Then minutes later Rogue had Jamie dressed and walking towards the kitchen.

"Why don't ya sit here next ta Logan, Jamie." Rogue pulled out a chair for the little boy to get in, then went to get them both some cereal after she introduced Jamie to everyone.

"So, are you my grandpa? Are you mama's daddy?" Jamie asked Logan, his eyes wide with curiosity looking at the older man.

"Who is your mom Jamie?" Scott asked him.

"Marie D'Acanto." Jamie looked around at everyone and the looks of confusion he was getting. "Oh wait. Mama said that everyone calls her Rogue." Jamie clarified with a big smile.

"Wait, Rouge is your-"

"Yea Jeannie, he is just callin' meh mama. Ah said it was okay." Rouge cut Jean off before she could make some stupid remark. Rogue gave Jamie his cereal and sat down in her chair across from him.



"In that case squirt," Logan told Jamie, but was looking directly at Rogue, "I'm ya grandpa." Rogue realized what he ment and almost started to cry.
