I guess you guys are really liking this. I'm glad about that. Now where were we? Yes, Kurt has something planned for Rogue.
Kurt kept Rogue's eyes blindfolded.
"Whahre ahre yah tahking mah?" She laughed.
"Oh, no vhere special."
"Oh really?"
Kurt just chuckled.
Rogue could feel herself being placed inside something...that smell. it was the X-Jet. "Kurt?"
Kurt buckled her up, keeping her eyes shielded.
Rogue felt the rev of the engine as they took off. "Kurt, can yah even drive dis ting?"
"Ja! But don't vorry, I have it programmed for auto-pilot."
Rogue sighed in relief. "Can Ah take this hanky off now?"
"Nein."
"How long until we get dere?"
"Vell, vith the X-Jet it should take about a hour."
"An hour?"
"Ja." Kurt chuckled again. "Don't be bothered, it vill be vorth it."
Rogue could feel them landing. A quiet thump, and they were safe on the ground.
Kurt guided her outside, and Rogue heard a very familiar sound. Kurt took the hanky off, and Rogue saw that they were in New Orleans.
And it was Mardi Gras.
"Kurt! Yah devil! How did yah know?"
"Remy said you liked it here. I thought you might want to come one last time before you were to busy."
Rogue smiled. "Thahnk yah Kurt!" She hugged her brother, and they bounded off for loads of fun.
When Rogue and Kurt returned, Rogue was exhausted. They'd only been gone a few hours, but still. She was tired.
After thanking Kurt again, Rogue retired to her room. She was about to undress when she heard a cough.
"Remy!"
"Sorry Cherie. Remy didn' mean to frighten yo'."
Rogue pulled up her hand as if threatening him, but then she realized it would do no good. She had no powers.
"Remy jus' wanted to talk."
"Remy, Ah'm wahped out."
"Remy...I wanted to say I'm sorry fo' kissing yo' yesterday."
Rogue blushed, fumbling with her shirt. "Well, Ah kinda kissed yah back...so don't go blaming yahself..."
"I'm not. What I'm trying to say is, I wished I had kissed yo' sooner."
"What?"
"I love yo' Anna."
"Remy...if this has any'ting to do wit' da baby..."
"Dis has nothin' to do wit' da baby. I love yo' Rogue. I have fo' a long time."
Rogue smiled to herself. "How long?"
Remy laughed. "Yo' remember when I took yo' to my dad's for da first time?"
"When yah kidnapped me?"
Remy laughed again. "Oui, dat time."
Rogue nodded.
"Remy knew yo' were special. But after dat first time together, yo' have never left Remy's mind...or his heart."
"Remy..."
Remy looked down at Rogue, and she knew right then and there who she loved, who she cared for. His name was Remy LeBeau.
Rogue kissed Remy briefly on the lips. "Ah love yah to swahmp raht. Ah..." Rogue choked on her words. "Ah love yah more den any'ting in dis world."
Remy smiled, kissing Rogue this time.
Rogue gasped.
"What?" Remy crooned.
"Da baby...Ah felt da baby..."
"Huh?"
"Like butterflies!" Rogue touched her stomach, laughing.
Remy touched Rogue's stomach, kissing that too. "Remy love yo' to lil' one."
Rogue smiled. This was the perfect day.
A knock at the door. "Like, Rogue, are you back?"
"Yeah, Kitty, be rahght thahre." Rogue sighed as a gentle breeze floated into her room.
Remy was gone.
