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: I don't own X-Men: Evolution or anything in it. Marvel does.

Kitty was lying by the pool in her pink string bikini. She'd had an early morning session with Logan and decided to relax. She had her long layered hair down for once. Her sunglasses were perched on top of her head, holding her hair out of her face as she talked to Tabitha.

"So, Kitty, I hear that Lance finally got the balls to propose."
"Yeah. I'm so happy that he did. I mean, I'd stay with him even if he didn't. But I'm really excited about planning the wedding and everything."

"When are you planning on tying the knot?"

"I was thinking Christmas, but there's way too much going on here to plan a wedding before Christmas."

"I could help you. I've done it before."

"What? When did you plan a wedding?"
"I helped my mom when she got remarried. It's a lot of fun. You have got to start looking for a dress. And we're going to have to throw you a bachelorette party."

"Yeah. I don't even know what kind of dress I want."

"You'd look good in strapless."

"Thanks. All those ours of DR sessions have paid off."

"So what are your colors going to be?"
"I have to talk to Lance about that. I want pink and brown, but I don't know if he'll go for it."

"Lance? If you told him that you wanted Magneto's head on a platter, he'd probably try to get it." The girls both laughed at this. Amara sat on the chair next to Tabitha and threw the girls a confused look.

"What's going on?"
"We're just talking about Kitty's wedding."
Amara's eyes grew wide at Tabby's response. "Kitty's what?"
"Lance proposed last night. And I accepted, of course. I couldn't turn him down."

"Wow."

"And I want you and Tabby to be bridesmaids."

"Totally. I'll do it." Tabitha nodded her response while Amara was talking. Her face suddenly lit up and she smiled at the two other girls.

"You know what this means, right?"

Kitty and Amara looked at ach other in confusion. "No." Kitty answered for both of them.

"It means that we need to celebrate. And I know the perfect way. Let's get a big group together and go out to a club. We could go to that new one that just opened."

"Sounds like fun," Amara agreed.

"I don't know. Is it okay for an engaged girl to go to a club?"

"Why wouldn't it be? If you're worried, we could invite Lance and the rest of the Brotherhood."

"Okay. Let's do it. I wonder if Rogue wants to go?"

"Let's go find out. We should ask Remy too." Tabitha said with a barely concealed smile. She could just picture Remy and her grinding on a club dance floor.

The girls abandoned their chairs in favor of finding a group to go with them. Bobby, Ray, and Sam all jumped at the chance to pick up girls at a club. Scott and Jean turned them down, like they figured they would. Remy had been somewhat reluctant but Rogue had said she'd go. Kurt was hesitant because of his fur, but decided that it sounded like too much fun to pass up. Kitty called the Brotherhood and they all agreed to go, including Wanda. Tabitha ran into Piotr on her way to Kitty's room.

"Hey, Pete. We were planning on going out later. You wanna come?"
"Where are you going?"

Tabitha shrugged. "The new club in town."

"Sounds fun, no?"

"It is."

"I will go with you to this club, then."

"Great." Tabitha flashed him a smile before going to Kitty's room. "Hey, Kit, Piotr coming too."

"Wow. That's like most of the Institute."

"Yeah. I think that it's all of the over 18 muties. Except Scott and Jean of course."

"Have we ever actually hung out as a group like this before?"
"Not really. At least, not on our free time."

The door opened and Amara came in. "The Professor says it's okay as long as we can still get up in the morning. And as long as no one uses their powers."

Tabby opened Kitty's closet and started going through her clothes.

"What are you doing?"

"Just looking, K-girl."

"I'm guessing that we should wait to get ready until after dinner when Mr. Logan won't see what we're wearing?" Amara asked.

"Definitely. I'll never forget this one time when me and Rogue went to a club. We got dressed and were all ready to go. I had on a tank top and a min skirt with my favorite heels. Rogue was wearing a halter that tied in the back and a pair of tight pants. Logan freaked out when he saw us. Luckily the Professor was there or we would have never made it past the door of our rooms for the next month."

"Yeah. He gets vicious when it comes to stuff like that."

Kitty glanced at her watch. "I've got to get ready. Lance is coming over for dinner so that we can tell everyone the good news." Tabitha and Amara left as Kitty started going through her closet. She stopped for a minute and stared at the diamond on her finger. "I'm really getting married."

"Rogue, I don't think that it's a good idea for you to go to a club."

"Remy, Ah'm goin."

"But, chére, you're pregnant. I don't think that pregnant women, or married women, go clubbing."

"Look, Remy, Ah'm goin' with ya so it's no lahke Ah'm cheatin' on my husband. And no one but the Prof, Logan, and us know that Ah'm pregnant or that we're married."

"They will after we tell them."

"Rem, is it okay if we wait a little while to tell them?"
"They're gonna figure it out, chére."

"Ah know. But Ah just remembered that Kitty had some really important news and Ah don't want to mess that up for her."

Remy wrapped his arms around her. "You're a good friend, Rogue. Most people wouldn't think bout their friends when they had something important to tell everyone."

"Thanks, sugah." Rogue untangled herself from his arms and grabbed a top out of her closet. "So what do ya think of this one?"

Remy eyed the shirt. It was a black and silver hater top. The halter part was a metal ring htat looked almost like a necklace. The back started halfway down and the shirt stopped just above Rogue's hips. "I dunno, chére. I don't want to have to beat guys off of ya with a stick." He smiled as Rogue laughed. He loved her laugh.

"Well, it's either this one or the one Ah showed ya earlier."

"This one," he quickly decided. The other one was low cut and pretty much backless.

"Least ya don't have to worry bout me struttin round in a mini skirt that barely covers mah ass."

"Thank ya for that, chére. On second thought, do ya own one? I'd like a fashion show if ya do." Rogue threw the shirt at him before going into the bathroom to take a shower.

Kitty was digging through her closet when her phone rang. She ignored it at first, in favor of finding something to wear. She really wasn't comfortable with the thought of one of the younger boys or Kurt walking in on her in her underwear. When it rang again, she decided to answer it.

"Hello?" Kitty tucked the phone between her ear and her shoulder so she could keep looking through her clothes.

"Hey, baby." The answering voice brought a smile to her face.

"Hey, yourself. What's up?"

"I was wondering if the Professor would mind the rest of the Brotherhood coming over to hang out."

"You know the Brotherhood is welcome here whenever they feel like visiting."

"Yeah. But we still feel weird about just showing up. We're always afraid that Logan will try to kill us."

"He wouldn't do that. At least, I don't think he would. But I'm sure it's fine. Not like anyone will notice an extra mutant or two here anyway. There's already, like, forty of us here."

"No kidding. It's always impossible for us to get a minute to ourselves when we're there. At least here, Pietro and Todd are afraid of me."

"I know what you mean. That's why I like hanging out there. The only one who bothers us is Wanda and that's only if it's really important. Is she going with us tonight?"

"I think so. Look, baby, I need a shower. I'll see you in an hour?"

"Okay."

"I love you."

"Love you too." Kitty hung up and threw the phone on her bed. "I only have an hour to get ready." She started flipping through her clothes again.

Amara was sitting on her bed with a magazine, half listening to her roommate. Tabitha's muffled voice was coming from her closet where she was looking for clothes. Amara heard a pause in the conversation and looked up to see Tabitha pulling a pair of leather pants out of the back of her closet.

"I haven't seen these since we took that picture in front of the mansion."

"Is that part of your Sirens outfit?"

"Yeah. I have the shirt somewhere. But these might be awesome to wear later." Amara went back to her magazine as Tabitha started digging through the closet again.

Kitty had finished getting ready and was on her way downstairs when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" she yelled to anyone in hearing distance. She opened the door to reveal the Brotherhood.

"Hey. Welcome back to Mutant Manor," she said with a smile. "Dinner will be served in an hour. Would you like the grand tour?"

"No thanks," Pietro answered quickly.

"Then, if you will follow me to the commons room, I believe that you will find everybody that lives here." Lance was the only one to laugh at Kitty. He had been greeted the same way when he joined the X-Men a few years back. The rest just looked confused.

When they got to the rec room, the younger mutants looked at the Brotherhood members in confusion. Kitty motioned to the door and the younger mutants left. There was still two mutants left in the room. One was lying on the couch flipping through the channels and the other was sitting in a chair reading.

"Remy! Piotr!" The two jumped at the sound of Pyro's voice. Remy sat up and Piotr put his book down to stare at him as he jumped over the couch like a maniac. He hugged Piotr and came toward Remy.

"Back off, mon ami," Remy warned, standing up. John stopped and gave him a sad look. Remy sighed and dropped his defensive stance. John smiled and hugged him.

"What is the Brotherhood doing here?" Piotr asked in his Russian accent.

"I, like, invited them for dinner. Then they're going to come to the club with us."

"Ah, so that is why they are dressed up." Kitty turned to look at them and realized that they were dressed to go to a club. Wanda was wearing tight black pants and a short black tank with a red choker. The guys were all dressed in nice jeans and varying styles of shirts.

"I guess. Make yourselves at home," she said to the Brotherhood. They all took a seat. Kitty found herself being pulled into Lance's lap. "You might not want to do that, sweetie."

"Why not, pretty Kitty?"

"Wolverine is here somewhere."

"Oui. I saw him a few minutes ago. And you do not want to do that in front of him, mon ami." Gambit grinned at Lance.

"How do you know?"

"He kinda caught me and Rogue sitting like that before. He was not happy." Gambit grimaced at the older man's attempt on his life. "He chased me around the mansion with his claws until Rogue told him to leave me alone."

"Wow. Maybe you should sit next to me, Kit." Kitty smiled and gave Lance a kiss before sitting between him and Gambit.

Kitty turned to Remy to ask him a question and noticed that his attention was focused elsewhere. She followed his gaze to find Rogue standing at the door. She was wearing tight jeans and a tight black tank. Her curly hair fell halfway down her back. Kitty looked back at Remy and was surprised at the look of love in his red and black eyes.

"Bonjour, chére." Rogue smiled at his greeting and came over to the couch, only to realize that it was already full. Rogue smiled and settled herself in Remy's lap.

"I thought you just warned me against that, Gambit."

"I did," he replied with a glance at Rogue.

"Warned him about what, sugah?"

"Bout Kitty sittin in his lap when Wolvie is home."

"Oh." Rogue looked over at Lance. "Logan ain't gonna bother us. The kids ain't around. They were last tahme. But if Ah were ya, Ah wouldn't do anything to piss him off tonight."

"Why? Is he, like, in a bad mood or something?"

"Kit, think bout what yah gonna tell him. Then think bout when Jean and Scott told him that they were getting married. And Logan doesn't protect her like he does us."

"Wow. Good point. You don't think he'll, like, go after Lance do you?"

"Nah. He'll leave him alone if ya tell him to."

"Wait. That's why you wanted us here tonight?" Wanda asked from her spot in an armchair. "So we could protect Lance from Wolverine?"

"No. I wanted you all here because you're the closest thing I have to a family," Lance answered. Wanda looked surprised at his answer for a minute. She smiled at him.

"Thanks Lance." Of course, the moment was ruined when she looked over to see Gambit nuzzling Rogue's neck while she pretended to listen. "Argh. Get a room you two."

Before the conversation could resume, the Professor's voice interrupted them.

Kitty, dinner is ready. Please bring your guests to the dining room.

No problem, Professor

"Dinner's ready."

"How do you know that, Pryde?" Pietro asked, staring at her like she was crazy.

"Professor Xavier told me. Now if you will follow me, we'll go eat." All the mutants got up from their places to follow Kitty. Rogue and Gambit followed the group a little farther back. They were quietly talking when a breeze blew past them.

"Pietro, no powers in the house."

"Sorry, Roguey."

"Don't cal me Roguey."

"Why not?"

"Because."

"Oh come on, Roguey. I've called you that since you lived with the Brotherhood." Remy raised an eyebrow at this. "Oh, did Roguey never tell you that she was a Brotherhood member?"

"Non."

"It was back when Ah first got my powers. Mystique shifted into the X-Men and scared the hell outta me so Ah wouldn't join them. Then she offered me a place with the Brotherhood. Ah left when Ah found out that it was Mystique and not the X-Men the night they came to recruit me."

They reached the dining room and were surprised to see only the older X-Men there. "Where are the kids?" Rogue asked.

"They had a school dance tonight, so it will only be the original X-Men and New Recruits. And Piotr and Remy, of course. Welcome back, Brotherhood."

"Thanks." Lance answered for them. Everyone took their seats and the chaos began. Pietro began arguing with Todd over something. Lance and Scott glared at each other whenever their eyes happened to meet. Pyro was being his normal insane self. The New Recruits were behaving for the most part. Tabitha was talking to Wanda and Rogue, while Remy and Piotr tried to calm Pyro down. Bobby was flirting with Amara. Kurt was trying to stifle the urge to jump Todd for old times sake.

Besides these few things, which weren't anything major at the Institute, dinner was uneventful. That all changed when it was time for dessert. Kitty stood up and waited until all eyes were on her.

"I have an announcement to make." She smiled as Lance stood next to her. "We're getting married." This was followed by squeals from the X-girls, glares from some of the X-boys, and no reaction from the Brotherhood. Everybody began to congratulate them.

Logan sat quietly for a minute before responding. "I musta heard ya wrong, Half-Pint. I thought ya said you're getting married."

"I am."

"To him?"

"Yeah."

"Do you love her?"
"Yes, sir."

Logan gave a defeated sigh. "Look, boy, I'm only going to say this once. You hurt her and I will track you down. I'll decide what to do with you when I find you. Got it?"

"Logan. I'm not going to hurt her. She means more to me than anything else."

"Good. She better." His gaze turned to Kitty. "Congrats, Half-Pint." He got up and gave her a hug before everyone settled back down for dessert.

After dinner, everyone either went back to their rooms to get ready or lounged in the rec room. Remy and Piotr decided to keep and eye on John in the rec room, just to make sure that he didn't destroy anything. Rogue and Wanda went back to Rogue's room.

As soon as the door was shut, Rogue turned to Wanda. "I had to tell the Professor and Logan."

"What are you talking about?"

"Ah had to tell them about me and Remy." Wanda was the only one that had known about Remy and Rogue's marriage. Even though the other Goth was on the Brotherhood's side, Rogue trusted her with her life. They had been friends since before the whole Apocalypse thing.

"Are you crazy? Why did you tell them?"

"They'd know before too long anyway."

"What are you talking about?"

"Wanda, you're the fourth person Ah've told this to. Ah'm pregnant."

"Are you kidding?"
"No."

"That's a good reason to tell them. Wait. You said you told Wolverine right?" At Rogue's nod, Wanda continued. "Then why is Remy still alive?"

"Ah stood between them when we told him. It wouldn't have done my baby any good to have a dead daddy."

"And you're going to a club? Are you crazy?"

"Ya sound lahke Remy. Ah'm just gonna dance. Ah'm not drinkin cause Remy would kill me."

"Damn right he would," said a voice from the doorway. Rogue and Wanda jumped. Rogue turned to see who had overheard. She relaxed when Remy stepped into the room. "Hey, Wanda."

"Jesus, Rems. How many tahmes Ah gotta tell ya not to do that?"

"More than ya have, chére," he replied with a cocky smirk and a kiss on the cheek.

"You realize what this means, right?" Wanda asked him.

"Non. What's it mean?"

"That the self-proclaimed King of Hearts is gonna be a family man."

"I guess it does. But only because of my chére."

"Sugah, Ah thought that ya were watchin that fire lovin psycho."

"Piotr put in a movie with firefighters in it. It should keep him busy for awhile."

"That's the secret to getting that damn Aussie to shut up?" Wanda asked. "Here we've been duct taping his mouth."

"That works too. Anyway, chére, still sure you want to go?"
"Damn straight, Gambit. Ah wanna get out and have fun before Ah'm as big as a house."

Gambit eyed her small frame. "I don' think you'll get that big."

Rogue laughed. "Remy, ya charmer. Me and Wanda gotta get ready. See ya latah, sugah." Rogue pushed him out the open door.

"But, chére…."

"What, Swamp Rat?"
"What about my goodbye kiss?"
"Ah'll see ya in a few minutes."

"I ain't leaving without it."

"Fahne." Rogue kissed him and he smiled before he left. Rogue shut the door before grabbing her clothes off the bed. "Okay. Time to get ready."

Okay. The format for his one is kinda screwed up for some reason, but it's still readable. Let me know what you think. Also I did spell check this and everything, but becasue of Rogue's accent and everything, I still miss some stuff. Sorry for that. Oh and thatnks for my reviewers up to this point : MarvelGirl09, PetiteDiable, Umi Pryde, Numbeh 013, and artistic-angel825. I filled this chapter with lots of Lancitty for ya'll. More to come in later chapter too.
