Chapter 10 – A Little One
Rogue swore loudly and beeped at the car in front. The traffic on the motorway was horrendous and Piotr wasn't helping. He was sat on the edge of his seat, his hand clasped tightly in his lap, a ravaged and anxious look crossing his usually calm features. He was desperately worried about Kitty. Rogue was more worried about Remy.
He must have loved playing the hero, she thought. But the way the phone had cut off was worrying. Rogue knew he was in trouble, she could feel it. The thoughts of what could have happened protruded her mind, like the plague.
She glanced at Piotr, who forced a smile at her. She returned the favour and gently grasped his hand, squeezing it.
"She'll be fine Honey," she said, trying to believe it herself.

Cyke almost flew across table, grasping handfuls of Remy's trench coat and pulling Remy up to his face.
"Tell us why you were with Kitty, you arrogant Cajun," he spat.
Remy wiped imaginary saliva from his face, just to piss Cyke off and looked up at him innocently. Man, this guy was easily wound up. Remy wondered if it was sexual frustration and looked smugly over at Jean. Well, no bloody wonder, she was a horse.
"I was helping de girl,"
Cyke snorted and threw Gambit back onto the chair her was lounged on.
"Yeah, it's just like you to help people isn't it, Gambit. Play the bloody hero!"
Remy merely grinned and began to shuffle a pack of cards that he produced from his pocket. A door at the side of the room opened and the Professor wheeled slowly through, his face serious and in deep thought.
"Now, Gambit, I do realized that you were helping Kitty and you should be congratulated but I thought they all went to the mall." The professor stated and then continued, "Also, why did you make a call to Rogue's phone shortly after getting here?" the professor mentioned, directing his gaze towards Gambit.
Remy didn't answer. He knew that he would have to tell them. He looked over to Wolverine sat in the corner, wishing that the man would say something. For once, Remy didn't know what to say. He swallowed. So this is what nervousness feels like.
"Want me to explain, Gumbo?" said a voice from the corner.
Remy nearly fell of his chair in surprise. He had wished it but wasn't expecting it to actually happen. Once he had regained his posture and shot Wolverine a shocked look, he nodded. The rest of the Xmen looked as shocked as himself which made Remy chuckle.
"What do you know about this, Logan?" the professor asked, looking quite inquisitive for a telepath of his level.
Logan stood over the southerner, unnerving him a little, and began.
"Look, Chuck, I'm gonna keep this short. About 6 months ago, I went to get Rogue for her training session and I caught Gumbo here in her room. They've been together for a while now. When they've said they were going to the mall, they've been going to the Acolyte base…… What?" Logan said when Remy glared at him.
"We ain't Acolytes no more, homme. Our contract came t an end when Mags came t his," Remy answered with a significant nod to end it.
Remy surveyed the room, with an air of power. They all looked stunned. Cyke just kept opening and closing his mouth comically. He reminded Remy of a goldfish. Jean had taken a few steps back and fell over a chair, which made Remy laugh out loud. That earned him a menacing glare from Cyke but Remy just grinned widely back. The professor looked extremely serious.
"So, you and Rogue are, how did Logan put it, together?" Remy nodded slowly, wondering where this was going.
"My, my," the Professor said smiling, "I would have thought you were a more physical person,"
Logan guffawed.
"Prof, he is. Rogue can touch him," the Canadian said.
A series of gasps erupted in the room. Remy found it hilarious.

Rogue maneuvered the car through the Institute gates and parked masterfully in front the mansion, only just turning off the engine as Piotr dived out of the car. Rogue sighed heavily and followed him hurriedly, still thinking about how Remy was doing.

The Professor stared, mouth gaping at Gambit.
"But how...," he started until Remy cut in.
"I don't know, Prof. I kinda have dis immunity t her or something," he sighed, sounded exasperated.
Everyone jumped as Rogue plummeted through the door, nearly colliding with Kurt, who teleported to the other side of the room. She landed sprawled on the floor, and then looked up.
"Sorry for busting in," she said, dusting herself off. She looked at Remy, who grinned at her.
"Where's Piotr," he whispered, his features almost as anxious as Colossus's were about 10 minutes ago.
She smiled, "He's with Kitty," she answered, "Thanks for the heads up,"
Cyke butted in, "What heads up,"
"That's why Remy rung me, so that Piotr could be there with Kitty, you prick," Rogue answered.
Remy applauded, until Wolverine flashed him a warning look.

Piotr managed to get to the med bay in time for the birth and was surprised when Beast smiled warmly at him as he walked in. Hadn't he tried to kill the Xmen numerous times on Magneto's orders? He smiled weakly back and rushed to Kitty's side.
About 15 minutes after he had arrived, Kitty gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. As Piotr held the child in his arms, Kitty chatted to Piotr about naming the baby.
"Ya know what, I wanna, like, name it something Russian," Kitty said quietly.
Piotr looked up in surprise, "Really,"
"Yeah," she whispered, "Got any ideas?"
He looked at the baby for a few moments before answering.
"Dimitri,"

"But I thought the baby was Lance's," said Cyke, looking round to see if anyone agreed and evil eyeing the ones that didn't.
"Mon Dieu, y are as thick as shit," Remy said, shaking his pretty head, "It's perfectly simple. Lance got chaton pregnant but buggered off and left her. Piotr, Colossus, said that he would help her through it, end of story," He looked at Cyke, "Clear enough for y"
At that moment, Beast waltzed through the door, humming what sounded like "Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong.
"Kitty's had the baby, a boy," he said and waltzed back out again.
"Where's Wanda," Kurt queried.
"Shagging Pyro," said Remy and Rogue in unison.
Jean nearly fell over again.

Kitty was still talking to Piotr when Rogue and Remy poked their heads around the door. Kitty smiled widely and Remy smirked, following Rogue into the room. Looking over at the baby, Remy grinned even wider. He leaned over to Piotr.
"Evenin, Daddy,"
Piotr chuckled heartily and looked down on the baby lovingly.
"What ya calling him?" Rogue said, placing her bum on Kitty's bed.
"Dimitri," Kitty said and turned to Remy, "Hope you wasn't in too much trouble,"
Remy shook his head, "Non, they let me go with a warning, right after they hung and quartered me," he added smiling.
Kitty turned back to Rogue, "Do you wanna hold him?"
Rogue nodded eagerly and carefully took the baby into her arms. After a few minutes, she looked up at Remy with puppy eyes.
"Y not having one," he stated blatantly.
"Oh but please, Remy, look at him, he's so cute," she cooed.
"Non, non and triple non," he said, shaking his head, "Not yet,"
Rogue scowled at him but they both knew she was only messing.
