Rogue pulled down on her grey suit, it just didn't fit the same way it did four months ago. That's because your pregnant her mind told her. Rogue sighed as Blink braided her hair and Kitty applied some old makeup they found.
"Why are you guys even dolling me up? It's not that important." Blink gasped in horror and Kitty rolled her eyes.
"Rogue it's your wedding day you have to look pretty." Blink said shocked that Rogue said that. "Little girls dream about this day their whole life."
"I didn't" Kitty cut in and Rogue nodded her head in agreement. "Plus I don't think they dreamed about having in an old church in Montréal that their friend teleported them to because if they stay in one place to long they'll die!" Blink smiled at her achievement, she could teleport them almost anywhere now.
"Hush Kitty your time will come and you'll realize I was right." Kitty felt like puking at the thought of getting married. "Ok are you sure you want to wear your uniform?"
"Yes, we both agreed not to make a huge fuss about it but you insisted to do my hair!" Rogue glared at Blink.
"It's time!" Kitty and Blink walked off to go sit in the pews with Sunspot, Warpath, and Colossus. Bishop was officiating the wedding, he did it for his sister before she passed away.
Rogue walked down the aisle while Kitty played the piano, Bobby had a huge grin on his face and grabbed her hand when she got close enough.
"You look amazing." He whispered.
"You look pretty good yourself." She winked at him making his grin bigger, if that was possible. Bishop started the ceremony.
"We gather here today, in the presence of family and friends to join Robert Drake and Marie D'Ancanto in matrimony. We celebrate the coming together in love of this woman and this man. We remember that marriage is a time when growing love is made public, when two people share mutual promises. We join in our support of them as they offer themselves to each other. We celebrate their joy, their love and their expectations."
"May you always need one another, not so much to fill the emptiness as to help each other know your fullness. May you want one another, but not out of lack. May you embrace one another, but not encircle one another. May you succeed in all important ways with each other, and not fail in the little graces. Look for things to praise, often say 'I love you' and take no notice of small faults. May you have happiness, and may you find it in one another happy. May you have love, and may you find it in loving one another."
"Robert Drake and Marie D'Ancanto, the covenant which you are about to make with each other is meant to be a beautiful and sacred expression of your love for each other. As you pledge your vows to each other, and as you commit your lives to each other, we ask that you do so in all seriousness, and yet with a deep sense of joy, with deep conviction that you are committing yourselves to a dynamic growing relationship of trust, mutual support and caring love."
"Do you, Robert Drake take Marie D'Ancanto to be your wife? Will you love her, comfort and keep her, and forsaking all others remain true to her as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." Bobby replied smiling at his beautiful fiancé.
"Do you, Marie D'Ancanto take Robert Drake to be your husband? Will you love him, comfort and keep him, and forsaking all others remain true to him as long as you both shall live?"
A tear slid down Rogue's face. "I do."
"Now that you have declared you intentions, I invite you to share your vows with one another." Bobby smiled at Rogue and grabbed her hands.
"Rogue, it hasn't always been easy between us. We've had our fights and we've shared our tears but I fall more in love with you every time you get annoyed at me. Now we have this baby that we've made and I can't wait to meet her. You are everything that I am, I need you more than ice! I can't describe the way I feel about you and I'm so happy that your mine." Rogue smiled and tears slipped down her face.
"Bobby, you're the one thing I need in life after I ran away. You were there for me during everything, you never pressured me into anything. You loved me gloves and all, you made me feel special. We've survived sentinels, and anything the world throws at us. I love you so much."Bishop smiled at the couple and continued.
"May we please have the rings?" Kitty walked over from where she was sitting by piano and hand the couple the rings. Rogue slid the sliver ring on Bobby's finger and he slid the smaller sliver ring on her finger, they found them in the rubble and knew that those were the rings they wanted.
"Rogue and Bobby would like to take a moment to remember the friends we've lost. Kurt, Jubilee, Hank, Scott, Polaris, John, and Jean. They'll forever be in our hearts.
"In as much as you Robert and you Marie have thus consented in matrimony and have witnessed the same before family and friends, by virtue of the authority vested me as a Officiant and the laws of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Bobby pulled Rogue close and kissed her while she wrapped her arms around his neck. Everyone in the church cheered after they broke apart, they all rushed towards the couple congratulating them. Rogue gave Kitty and Blink a big hug, while Peter shook hands with Bobby.
"Are you sure you don't want to have a reception?" Bobby asked Rogue once she was back in his arms.
"Yeah I'm positive let's just hang out here."
"Ok." He kissed her deeply and broke apart when Sunspot started making crude jokes.
"You guys have to at least dance! Come on please?" Blink pleaded looking at the couple.
"Fine!" Rogue finally gave in and Kitty started playing a beautiful melody on the piano. Bobby pulled her close and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"So Marie Drake, or Rogue Drake, or Mrs. Drake"
"Ok Bobby you can stop saying my name."
"I'm sorry I just can't believe your all mine."
"I'm yours forever." He pulled her into another kiss. Sunspot interrupted them and pulled Rogue away from Bobby to dance.
"So what are you guys doing for the honeymoon?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows making Rogue laugh.
"Were going to visit a mutant camp and spend the night at the dump."
"Oh sounds fun, can I come?"
"You're insane." She looked over and saw Bobby talking with Bishop. Warpath stood up and grabbed Blink twirling her around.
"I think this is the most fun we've had in the past 4 years." Blink said as Warpath smiled at her.
"I want to try something." He finally said, before Blink could respond his lips were on hers.
"Well that was nice." Warpath nodded and they danced some more smiles wide on their faces. Rogue found her way back to Bobby's arms and swore she would never leave them. Kitty switched with Bishop at the piano. Peter grabbed her and twirled her tiny frame around the church.
"So what did you think of the wedding?" Peter asked her.
"It was perfect, for them."
"So you would never see yourself up there?"
"No, in a different reality maybe but here, now I wouldn't be able to."
"Seems reasonable enough, how's the phasing?" Kitty winced at the idea.
"It's better I can't phase as good as I use to, but the way the collar effected me it's wearing off." Peter smiled, this was good she needed her strength back.
"I just hope we find the Professor so we can figure out what were supposed to do." Kitty nodded and gave Peter a kiss before switching with Bishop. Warpath heard it, the marching of boots before he could say anything the doors flew open where there were the MRD, they were Trask soldiers all dressed in black armor with a mask and some kind of gun.
"Halt, 9 mutants detected." A robotic voice said. Rogue looked down at her baby bump, the mutant trackers could sense her baby.
I know I'm so mean to you guys! So did you like it?! That can't even have a wedding without getting interrupted. I used the MRD because I think it would be nice to see more of them in the movie and if you haven't seen the concept art for them I suggest you should! Also for Rogue and Bobby's first dance the song I chose was Hope (Xavier's Theme) from the X men soundtrack so go listen to it, if you haven't!
