Disclaimer: Still not married to one of the owners of the x-men's sons so I still don't own the x-men. Lol. Darn it!
A/N: Okey dokey another boring day at my job where all I do is answer the phone and look pretty yeppie! So I'm starting another chapter. I don't know why I am so freaking excited about writing this story, but it's probably going to be the highlight of my day! So here we go….
Warning: This chapter may feel rushed but well I it's taking to long and so were going to be jumping a couple of years to actually get the ball rolling some more. Because I think everyone's ready for the Drama and the Action parts right?
Seven years later:
"MOMMY RJ DID IT AGAIN!" Rogue's oldest daughter hollered from the back patio as she prepped for dinner. With a sigh Rogue cleaned off her hands on the apron she had taken up wearing right after Charlotte's birth. Looking out the window that over looked the patio from the kitchen she watched her youngest blow smoke rings at his sister.
"Robert James if I see ya do that one more time you will be up stairs the entire evening," Rogue threatened her son who turned to her in his five year old way and just smiled in his oh so John way.
In the end they decided to make there son's name sort of like a joke. Seeing as how Bobby is the main reason why Rogue was now John's wife they felt it only appropriate to name there first son after him.
Charlotte Ray or Charlie as everyone so affectionately called her was of course named after Charles Xavier, for if it was not for him neither John nor Rogue would be together. Both of her children resembled both her and John in either looks or attitude. Such as Charlie had her mother's beautiful looks (even the white streaks) she was her father's child hands down. Charlie just spelled trouble the moment she popped out of her mother's womb.
While RJ on the other looked almost exactly like his father instead of his chocolate eyes however he had her striking green ones. He also had her attitude when she was younger, rebel without any cause what so ever. They were both a handful, hands down, but she wouldn't trade them for the world.
Today was Charlie's one year anniversary of receiving her mutation early. So of course the entire family and extended family would be coming over to celebrate. Charlie had a kind of mix of her parent's mutation. When she was near fire she absorbed it into her skin making herself one with the fire. Being able to manipulate it and herself anyway she saw fit. Talk about a handful for a six year old to get!
RJ on the other hand was just now getting the tale, tale signs of his mutation. Fire of course, which seemed to be a family trait. But all he has been able to conjure up smoke rings, which just irritated the hell out of Charlie.
Minutes later Rogue felt two large hands wrap around her waist as a trail of kisses were sent up the left side of her neck. Rogue turned into the arms she had gotten so used to feeling as she smiled up at her Johnny.
"Did you get the burgers?" Rogue asked sweetly as John stared at her lips, nodding in confirmation.
"What about the caracole?" He nodded again as he started to make them sway taking Rogue away from the kitchen sink.
"And Charlie's cake?" Rogue asked as felt John stop.
"Fuck I knew I forgot something," John said letting her go and rushing towards the door, grabbing his keys as he went. Rogue laughed at the site, she never got tired of John's antics especially since Charlie's birthday his fatherly instincts took over immediately.
Seconds later the door opened and Wanda and Todd walked in with there small brood.
"We're here!" Wanda yelled as she placed a hand on the lower part of her back. She was pregnant, again. Child number four was well on its way and it didn't look like this one was going to be the last one either.
"Todd why don't you take Tabby, Julian and Becca out back to play with RJ and Charlie," Rogue suggested as she helped Wanda into one of the chairs she had put in the kitchen.
"Thanks," Wanda grunted as she plopped in her chair.
"So where was matchstick man running off to when we pulled up?" Wanda asked as she started husking some of the corn (and yes people in the south do, do this. I do it every Sunday for Sunday night dinner; fresh corn is the best by the way!).
"He forgot Charlie's cake," Rogue laughed as she started making the hamburger patties, patting them into perfect little flat balls.
"Of course he did, can you believe the men we picked. Yesterday Todd accidentally dropped Tabby off at Kindergarten instead of Julian. You should have seen the phone call he got at work an hour later. Priceless," Wanda laughed at the memory of her husband.
"Good times no?" Said a suddenly appeared Mystique, with Brotherhood members in tow, along with Kurt, Rogue's brother.
"Hey guys, John just left to get the cake so as soon as he's back we'll light up the grill and get the party started," Rogue said with a smile as she finished the rest of the hamburgers.
"Mom can we go swimming?" Julian, Wanda's oldest asked from the screen door out back.
"Yea sure, just make sure your sisters and RJ wear there floaties and that someone is watching you," Wanda told him with a pointed finger.
"MOM SAYS IT'S OKAY AS LONG AS UNCLE KURT WATCHES US!" He yelled at the younger kids as he ran towards the bag his mother had brought. The women in the kitchen just laughed.
"Poor Kurt, they always want to play with him," Wanda laughed out loud.
"I know and he hates getting wet, he's like a cat or something," Rogue said with a wrinkled nose.
"Let's go out side and actually watch the kids, shall we?" Raven asked the younger women who nodded since the prep work for dinner was complete.
Once outside the older group was showing off to the kids, Kurt kept popping in and out of places, while Charlie started to catch herself on fire.
"Charlie if you're going to do that ya might as well keep it on the cement part around the pool. I don't want to make your father redo that deck again," Rogue pointed at her daughter who nodded as she floated over to the edge of the pool.
Rogue watched her family, Pietro was taking his niece's and nephew on short rides around the yard with his speed abilities. While Eric was shaping a piece of metal into little animals for RJ, the evening was going by smoothly.
Minutes later John arrived with Charlie's cake and with Charlie's help he lit the grill and got the burgers going. They were all drinking beer (except for Wanda of course she was stuck with some sort of health drink her doctor had her on) when the door bell rang.
"I got it, John you've got your hands full with the grill," Rogue giggled at her husband who was wearing a flaming apron that said 'king of the fire' on it.
Rogue was still laughing when she opened the door.
"Hello…" her greeting trailed off as she saw who her new guest where.
"Rogue!?" Said a few of the voices in the small mass of people, still in shock Rogue barely registered Charlie pulling on her shirt.
"Mommy, Daddy says the burgers are ready and he didn't burn them this time," Rogue watched as the five pairs of eyes go from Rogue to her daughter whose hair was still on fire.
"That's good sugar; hey can you do mommy a favor?" Rogue asked her daughter as she nodded.
"Can you go and get Daddy and put your hair out, please?" Rogue asked her as she watched her daughter start to pout about stuffing her hair out.
"But Mommy…Daddy says it looks cool," Charlie began to whine.
"Charlotte Ray you do as I say or ya won't get any of your cake, now go and get ya father," Rogue admonished her daughter who quickly scurried away.
"Now what in the hell are ya'll doin' here?" Rogue asked the people before her.
A/N: Yep cliff hanger, but I can bet ya'll already know who those mysterious people are. Okay sorry this took so dang long, but I rewrote this chapter five times. I just didn't know where to go after the last chapter so; this is what popped out of my mind. Well I hope you enjoy!
