Author's Note: Okay. This is my first Evo fanfic. It's set three years after Ascension. Since Gambit's age was never really mentioned and all the profiles I could find of him put him somewhere in his early 20s, I'm going to guess that he was about 22 or so and go from there.

Ages of original characters:

Gambit-25

St. John-23

Scott, Jean, Lance, Fred, Pietro, Wanda, Piotr-22

Rogue, Todd-21

Kitty, Kurt-20

Tabitha, Bobby, Ray, Sam, Amara-19

Roberto-18

Jubilee, X-23 (Laura), Rahne-17

Jamie-16

All of my OC's will have their age mentioned when they are introduced in the story. Oh, and they do belong to me. Yay, I own something.

Disclaimer: Don't own.

Rogue rolled over and nearly fell of the edge of the bed. She felt Remy's body against her back. Rogue smiled and rolled over to face him. Remy was still asleep and Rogue just laid there for a minute watching him. She ran her fingers through his hair and he moaned, moving into the motion. Then his eyelids flew open and he jumped.

"Morning, sugah."

"Morning, chére."

"Did Ah scare ya?"

"Non. I just wasn't expecting you to be staring at me. Aren't you usually gone by now?"
"Yeah. But Ah didn't feel like leaving this nice, cozy bed to go running. Plus Ah couldn't see my clothes in the dark."

"Good. Maybe you'll stay awhile."

"Don't count on it. I have to assist Logan this morning. He has a DR session at 6:00 for the new recruits."

"What time is it?"

"5:00."

"So you have an hour?" Remy asked, a smile growing across his face.

"40 minutes."

"That's enough time."

Rogue jumped out of the shower and yanked her uniform on. She had to be in the DR in ten minutes. Damn Cajun is way too convincing. The thought brought a smile to her face.

Rogue ran down to the DR and managed to get there before Logan. She was seated in the control room when Logan walked in with two cups of coffee.

"Morning, Stripes. Want some?" He offered her one of the cups.

"Thanks."

"Ya look tired."

"Ah had a late night. Not used to sleeping in a room without Kitty mumbling in her sleep."

"You'll get used to it."

"Ah'm sure it'll just take some tahme."

"Yeah. Let's get started. Jamie, Laura, Jubes, and Rhane have school."

"Alright."

"Run Sequence 21."

Rogue just sat back and watched the new recruits. They had a lot more control that when they had come here years ago. Jamie was better about not creating as many clones when he ran into something. Tabby had calmed down a little. Cannonball could control where he was going. The new recruits beat the simulation in record time. They had an extra half hour this morning. The teens all headed for the showers. Logan headed off to breakfast and Rogue headed to her room to change.

She came out of her room wearing tight black jeans and a green tank with a black zip up hoodie. The jeans clung to her and the hoodie was tight when she zipped it up. She knocked on the door next door. Rogue walked in when she got no answer. Remy was sprawled across the bed in a pair of boxers. Rogue silently walked over to the bed and carefully crawled onto the bed, trying not to wake Remy up yet. Rogue straddled him and leaned down to whisper something in his ear when he rolled them both over. He now had her pinned.

Remy grinned and leaned down to kiss her. Rogue kissed him back and then wiggled out from underneath him. She started out the door when Remy stopped her.

"Where ya goin?"

"Breakfast."

"You don't want to take a shower with me instead?"

"Nope. Ah'm hungry. But if ya wanna come with me, you're welcome. But ya might wanna get dressed. I don't think that Logan will take it too well if ya show up to breakfast in ya boxers."

Remy grabbed a pair of jeans and pulled on a black t-shirt before following Rogue. He wrapped an arm around her waist as they walked down the hall. Rogue smiled at him, but the smile turned to a frown when his hand slid lower.

"Cajun, there are kids that live here. Get yah hand off my ass." Remy grudgingly moved his hand. She was right. There were always lots of kids around and he knew it would come back on him if they tried something like that.

They made it to breakfast and were almost done eating before the majority of the kids got there. When thy started to come in, Rogue and Remy headed to the kitchen where the other staff members were.

"Rogue, Remy. Can you help drive kids to school today?"
"Don't most of them have their license?"

"Some of them do. They drive themselves. But the middle schoolers don't."

"Ah'll help. Remy?"

"Yeah. I can help."

"Good. Rogue, can you take some of the high school kids in your SUV?"

"Yeah."

"Remy, you can drive the X-Van, since it's not a good idea to pick up kids on your bike."
"Alright, mon ami."

"Okay, then. Thank God I don't have to ask Kitty today. She scared the students yesterday."

"What time do they need to be there?"

"Eight. So they have half an hour left before they need to leave." Hearing this, many of the staff members wandered off to relax before they had to round up the teens.

Thirty minutes later, the mansion was chaos. Scott stood in the middle of it all, shouting out orders. Somehow, he got all the teens outside and into the waiting cars. Rogue ended up with four high schoolers in her Tahoe. They happened to be the same teens that were in her training class the morning before.

"Morning, ya'll."

"Morning, um, Rogue." Ally answered.

"Ya go to the high school, Dustin?"

"Yeah. I'm a freshman."

"What about the rest of ya?"

"Ally and Daniel are sophomores and I'm a senior," Cecile answered for the other two. "Did you go to Bayville High?"

"Yeah. Ah had an anti-mutant principal."

"Who?"

"Edward Kelly."

"Wow. He was Bayville's principal?"

"Yeah. The year that mutants were exposed. Scott and Jean almost didn't get to graduate because of him. It was right before Apocalypse. I graduated the next year."

"What about Gambit?"

"He had already finished school down in New Orleans when he joined Magneto."

"Where are you from?"
"Mississippi. Why?"

"I was just curious about your accent. You and Gambit both have the southern accent but not in the same way."

"Different parts of the South have different accents. Here we are. Have a good day." The teens jumped out of the SUV and met up with the other X-Men in training. They all walked into the school as a big group.

When she got back to the institute, Rogue parked in her usual spot. The X-Van and Jean's SUV were already back and Logan's bike was gone. The other cars pulled in after her and took their normal spots. Rogue headed off to find something to do. She decided that a nap sounded good and ended up on her bed. She briefly thought about going into Remy's room, but she knew that she wouldn't get to take a nap in there. He was too distracting. Rogue changed into a pair of shorts and crawled under the covers.

The sound of knocking woke her up three hours later. She groaned and reluctantly got out of bed to answer the door. She was greeted by Kitty.

"Hey, Kitty." Rogue motioned her to come in. Kitty sat in the chair facing the bed.

"Hey, Rogue. I didn't wake you up did I?"

"Yeah. It's okay."

"Why were you sleeping in the middle of the day?"
"Ah ended up in Remy's room last night and Ah didn't get much sleep." Kitty smiled at this.

"I heard that you were back together. What changed?"

"Ah did. Ah gave in."

"Wow. You never give in."

Rogue just shrugged in response and sunk back onto her bed. "How's Lance?"

"Great. He wanted me to tell you that the Brotherhood misses you."

Rogue opened her mouth to respond when there was a knock on the door. She got out of bed again and answered it. A grinning Remy was on the other side of the door.

"Bonjour, chére."

"Hi, Swamp Rat."

"Hey, Remy."

"Bonjour, Kitty." Remy smiled at the girl before turning back to Rogue. "Rogue, I've got something I need to talk to you about."

Kitty stood and walked toward the door. "I'll talk to you later, Rogue."

"Okay, Kit." Remy followed Rogue into the room. "What's so important?"
"Nothin," he replied with a grin. Rogue glared at him and Remy gave her a kiss.

"Ah'm going back to sleep." Rogue settled back into her bed. Remy laid down next to her and wrapped his arms around her. She snuggled into his embrace and closed her eyes. Soon they were both asleep.

Over the next few weeks, Rogue fell into the routine of being an employee of Xavier's. She was up early every morning for training or DR sessions. Take the kids to school, pick them up, do another training session. The best part of it was the end of the day when she was in Remy's arms.

Amazingly, no one had found out about their marriage yet. They hadn't gotten anywhere with their plan because of the chaos that surrounded the institute once school let out. Now their days were occupied with disciplining the rowdy younger mutants.

Rogue's alarm went off signaling the beginning of another day at mutant manor. Rogue rolled over slowly, the motion causing her to jump up and run for the bathroom. She just made it before vomiting. Rogue vomited once more before brushing her teeth to get rid of the taste.

She took a quick shower and got dressed before going back into her room. When she opened the bathroom door, her previously unoccupied bed now had a very comfortable Remy settled on it. He looked at her with concern in his eyes.

"Ya alright, chére?"

"Ah'm fahne, Swamp Rat. How long ya been sitting there?"
Remy started to argue about her being fine, then decided against it. It wasn't worth getting in a fight over that early in the morning. "Bout ten minutes."

"Why are ya even awake? There's no training this early and ya usually sleep in as late as the kids."

"I've gotten used to being up early. What about ya?"

"Breakfast duty."

"Oh."

"Yeah. What is that?" Rogue asked, hearing a noise down the hall.

"Sounds like giggling." Remy was already standing, ready to go investigate. Rogue followed him out the door only to run into him when he stopped. She peered around him to see why he wasn't moving. She saw Kitty and Piotr standing outside her door.

"What are ya doin over here this early, Kit?"

"Coming to talk to you. Guess what? Lance proposed last night!" Kitty squealed. She held out her left hand. Sure enough there was a diamond ring.

"Congratulations, Kitty!" Rogue told her friend. Rogue gave the younger girl a hug. "So when's the wedding?"

"We were thinking of getting married at Christmas. Rogue, will be my maid of honor?"
"Sure, Kit. Ah'd be honored."

"Thanks. Do you know if Logan is up yet?"

"Probably."

"I've got to tell him and Professor X. See ya later."

"Bye." Rogue turned to Remy. "Guess we solved the mystery."

"Here's another one. What were you doing in her room this early, Comrade?" Piotr said from behind them. Remy grinned at him.

"Teaching her French, mon ami," he replied with a wink. Rogue turned her back to him and walked down the hall.

"See ya later, sugah."

A few hours later, Rogue sat in her room, staring down at the object in her hand. "Shit," she mumbled quietly. She got up and threw the object away in the bathroom trashcan. She decided to go find Remy.

Rogue looked all over the mansion before finally finding him in the garage with Logan. Logan was working on the X-Van as Remy worked on his bike. They were talking about something but Rogue was too far away to understand them.

"Hey, Stripes," came Logan's muffled greeting when he caught her scent. Remy turned and smiled at her.

"Hey, Logan. Did ya break the van again?"

"We let Kitty drive it earlier."

"Gawd, why'd ya do that?" Rogue asked with a laugh.

"Ro did."

"Ah see. Remy, can Ah talk to ya for a minute?" Rogue asked quietly. Remy could tell that it was something important form the look in her eyes.

"Sure, chére." Remy followed her out of the garage. He knew it was going to be something big when she led him toward the gazebo. "Chére? Is something wrong?"

"That depends on what ya consider 'wrong'." Rogue turned to him. "Rems, I'm pregnant."

Remy just looked at her for a minute. Then a smile slowly spread across his face. "Ya sure, chére?"

"Yeah."

"Chére, this is great." He wrapped her in his arms.

"Yeah." Rogue was smiling now. She had been worried about Remy's reaction. Then she sobered as something occurred to her. "This means we'll have to tell them."

"I guess it does. What's so bad about them knowing?"
"They'll know that I've been hiding this for nearly two years."

"So, we tell Xavier first and see his reaction before anyone else finds out."

"Ya wanna go talk to him now?"
"Couldn't hurt."

Remy wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked to Prof. X's office. They knocked softly on the door and waited.

"Come in."

"Hi, Prof."

"Rogue, Remy. We didn't have a meeting scheduled did we?"

"No. If you're busy, we can come back…"

"No. Have a seat. I seem to have lost my planner and I couldn't remember if there was something important today."

"Ah'll let you know if Ah see it."

"Thank you, Rogue. Now what can I do for you to?"
"We have something to tell you."

"I get the feeling that this is something very important."
"It is. Ya see, um, I'm pregnant."

"I assume that it is Remy's?"

"Yeah."

"Well, Rogue, let me be the first to say congratulations. Are you two planning to get married?"

"See, that's the other thing," Remy started. "We're kind of married already."

"You two are married? When did this happen?"
"The night before Ah turned 20."

"I see."

"Ah never told you because Ah was afraid that you wouldn't approve. Then Ah was scared that Logan would find out and try to kill him."

"Yes, Logan can have a wicked temper. While I can say that I'm disappointed that you didn't tell me, I can see your reasoning. So the whole time that Remy was gone, you to were married?"

"Yeah. He actually came back for a few days to celebrate our anniversary."

"I must say that I am impressed that you could keep this hidden from the telepaths that live in this house. I had no idea. I'm sure that Jean didn't either. Would you like to announce this later at dinner?"

"Ah guess we can."

"Wait a minute. Before you turned twenty. That means that the two of you have been married longer than Scott and Jean."

"Six months longer."

"Well, once again, congratulations. I get the feeling that you may want to tell Logan before tonight to avoid the possibility of violence added to dinner."

"We'll go tell him." Rogue was already starting toward the door. Gambit took her hand as they left the office.

"That went better than I thought it would."

"Yeah. But Ah'm worried bout Logan's reaction. Maybe ya should hide when Ah tell him."

"Non, chére. We're together in this."

"Ah'd rather do this by myself than have to raise this baby by myself."

"Logan ain't gonna kill me, chére."

"We'll see." Rogue walked out to the garage with Remy on her heels. Logan came out from under the X-Van as the footsteps approached. He had recognized Remy and Rogue's footsteps.

"Ya finish your bike, Gumbo?"

"Yeah. Logan, we got something to tell you."

"What is it?" Logan glanced at them and Rogue stepped forward, placing herself between Logan and Remy. "I get the feeling I ain't gonna like this. Stripes?"

"Logan, Ah'm pregnant."
SNIKT

"Gumbo, I warned you."
"Logan, that's not all of it. Um, me and Remy got married, uh, almost two years ago."

"Ya didn't feel the need to share this then?"

"Remy had just started as an instructor here and no one approved of our relationship because of that and the four year age difference."

"So when Gumbo left, you were married."

"Yeah."

"Why didn't you go?"
"He wouldn't let me."

"What do you mean? Gumbo, care to explain why you wouldn't want your wife with you?"
"There was a bad situation between the Assassins and Thieves. They had my brother and were willing to do anything to get the upper hand. They wanted me to marry Bella. They would have killed Rogue if she had gotten in the way. I couldn't let that happen, so I left her here. I knew that if anything happened to me and they found out bout her, you would keep her safe."

"So ya left to protect her?"

"Oui."

"Ya better not be lyin to me, Gumbo, or this will be the only kid you ever have."

"I'm not." Logan could sense that he was telling the truth, so he retracted his claws.

"Congratulations." Logan gave Rogue a hug. "Gumbo, if you do anything to her or this kid, I'll kill you."

"I'd probably let you if it was bad enough for you to come after me." Logan shook Gambit's hand in congratulations before leaving the garage.

"Ah'm glad that ya still livin, sugah."

Okay. Here's the 1st 3 chaps. If you like it, let me know by hitting that lil bluish button. If ya do, I'll get to work on ch. 4. Bye for now :)
