"Hey there darlin'."

Ororo frowned, visibly stiffening. Why couldn't he ever take a hint? She put the last of her books in her locker and closed the door, walking away from him slowly.

"Ya still mad at me?"

She could hear the amusement in his voice, "Are you not afraid someone will see you talking to me?" She walked faster turning down the last corridor to the back of the school. She thought he had got it when she told him to leave her alone. He hadn't talked to her in a week or so and she hadn't quite known how to feel about it. She didn't want a repeat performance of their last meeting yet she had secretly enjoyed it, a lot.

"Don't really care if they do." He matched her step for step watching the profile of her face. The straight nose, the frown etched on her mouth.

She stopped suddenly, then turned to him, "Maybe I did not make myself clear last time, I do not like you Logan. I do not like your inappropriate feelings towards me .I do not like you commenting on the way I choose to wear my hair or how I choose to dress. You sneaking up to me, stealing kisses, talking to me as if we are friends is not going to work. Do you understand that?" She glanced around the deserted hallway then at him.

"Actually ya kissed me 'Ro. What do ya expect me to do, but kiss ya back?"

"I do not remember it that way Logan. You were forcing yourself on me."

"Believe what ya want, later." Logan smirked walking away leaving her standing alone.

-Next Day-

Ororo sighed two more days and school would be over. She couldn't express how happy she was about that. The stares the snide remarks all of it would be over. She glanced at the clock waiting for the bell to ring. As soon as it did she watched the other students exit and walked out, the usual crowded hallways were empty, there were no more afternoon classes for the seniors. It was a little after 12 now, she would go home and do nothing as usual.

She made her way slowly through the halls, she would be doing nothing while other girls might be out celebrating their last day with their friends or boyfriends and she would be sitting home alone...

She sighed no way the real world was like this, it wouldn't be like this forever, all she had to do was graduate. She berated herself for her silly thoughts and walked to her car. She stopped for a second, frowning at the sight that greeted her. Logan stood next to her car, on his cell phone. She walked to her car with new purpose in her step.

"Logan!" She stood in front of him her hands firmly planted on her hips.

"What do ya want?" He stepped away from her and unlocked his car.

Ororo sighed feeling awkward, she thought he had been waiting for her, but his car just happened to be parked next to hers. She nervously tucked a few loose strands of hair behind her ear and turned away from him feeling silly as hell. "Sorry, I do not know what I was thinking." She said and unlocked her door.

"What hopin I was here for ya Darlin'?" He perched himself against his car and watched her still frame.

Ororo shook her head, she would never confess to it but seeing him had made her heart flutter, "No I...I just." She stopped she felt stupid stuttering in front of him like a stereotypical shy little school girl. "What are you doing tonight?" her hand flew to her mouth why had she said that.

Logan waited for her to take it back, but she was silent, her back rim rod straight. He didn't know what to think just yesterday she said it wasn't going to work and now she was inviting him over. "Nothin'"

Ororo felt him come up behind her, felt him press himself against her back, the heat of his body the smell of him invading her senses, "ya got something in mind." His breath was soft against her ear.

Ororo turned in bed her hand landing on the empty spot next to her. She yawned and sat up glancing around the room. He wasn't there. She stood and stretched going to the bathroom. She took a quick shower and put on her clothes, and contacts then went to the kitchen.

It was a little after seven Logan must of went to work already. Maybe he thought she wouldn't make it again today. She made herself something to eat quickly then grabbed the business card with the address and left.

"Mr. Howlett a Ms. Munroe is here, would you like me to send her in?" The middle aged lady glanced at her skeptically, not believing that she worked there. She was Mr. Howllet's secretary she knew everything that went on, including getting everything ready for his return back .

Ororo stared at the woman, was this really necessary? It's not like she had wanted to come here in the first place. She would much rather be in her small cubicle at the old office with Betty and Xavier.

Logan glanced at the intercom annoyance echoed in his voice, "Send her in." He watched the door as his secretary walked in followed by a neatly dressed Emily. "Thank you, Sandra hold my calls please."

Sandra nodded glanced once at Ororo and left shutting the door behind her.

Ororo stood awkwardly in the middle of the big room, her hands clasped tightly in front of her. "I'm sorry I am late Logan I got lost on the way over here." Her eyes traveled the room, it was exceptionally decorated with warm colors and plush furniture yet it managed to look uninviting and impersonal.

"Didn't ya see my note Emily?"

Ororo mentally backtracked her way through the house, she didn't remember seeing one, "No I'm sorry, did you want me to pick up something on the way here?"

"No," He stopped, shoving his work away from him sighing deeply. He didn't want to have to talk to her face to face about it. He had left the note hoping she would see it and leave, "I'm sending ya back. I left ya ticket back home, turns out I don't really need ya here after all." He glanced at her once before continuing, "I should be back in a week or so though."

She stared at him, unsure of what to do or feel. "Let me get this straight Logan." She walked over to his desk, "You force me here under the guise of a 'promotion' and before I even work one day you're sending me back?" Her voice rose a few notches, anger overtaking her tentativeness, "So as I thought, all you wanted was one more night to satisfy your urges. That's fantastic Logan you are an asshole. I do not know why I was so foolish. You of all people. I do not know what I had expected, definitely not being used then thrown away like a piece of yesterday's garbage that's for sure." Ororo held herself holding back the tears that were threatening.

This could probably be her baby's father. She should have known better than to let herself get carried away with him. She knew him, she knew his personality yet she had wanted him so much she let herself believe in the impossible.

"Calm ya self Darlin' I aint firing ya, you'll still have ya promotion ya just won't be working here." He shrugged watching her. This was for the best. He couldn't handle a kid, he knew it already he wasn't a family man. He needed some time away from her to think this out, he had to get used to the idea first. He wasn't sure how long that was going to take but either way the fact remained she was pregnant with his kid.

"Calm? You want me to be calm? I wasn't the one that did this you were Logan and now it's like I do not even matter, you just used me for a nice easy hop in the sack…You…I...I hate you Logan, I never want to see you again." She mustered all the dignity she had left and walked out of his office her head held high, her long black hair swishing behind her. The moment she stepped into the sun she burst into tears. She sat at the bus stop and laid her head in her hands letting the tears flow.

Now what was she supposed to do? She decided to take the train back leaving her belonging at Logan's house. She had plenty of time to think on the ride down. She would find the other guy she had slept with. It was a company only party with an option to bring your spouse, so first she had to figure out all the single guys then go from there. She would find him sooner or later and hopefully it was someone better than Logan.

======Next Day=====

"You sly girl you, I never would of thought you and that scrumptious piece of man meat were hitting the sheets, Em your such a bad girl." Betty took a sip of her wine a big grin on her pretty red lips, "No wonder he wanted you to come with him, did you guys do it a lot?"

Ororo sighed, why couldn't she have a normal girlfriend? "No we did it once, but back to the point Betty. When I showed up to work the next day he basically told me he didn't need me anymore and he already bought a ticket for me to return here."

"So he just sent you home? What about the promotion?"

"I really don't care about that Betty, I just want to go back to before he came before that stupid party." Ororo sipped at her tea deep in thought, she decided to leave her job and find another. She would not be there when Logan returned.

"Oh! Em I almost forgot, I think I figured out who it was that you did the nasty with."

Ororo's eyes immediately went to her, anticipation washing over her, "Who?"

Betty glanced up from her ringing phone, "Sorry. I think it's Matt the guy that's in the cubicle next to you. I've noticed him staring at you a few times, like he's trying to figure out something in his mind. Maybe he knows it was you dressed up at the party."

Ororo frowned that was not solid enough evidence, "That's the only reason?"

"Umm… no Em." The usual outspoken woman was hesitant now, "He was talking about it to one of the other guys. "

"Well what did he say? Just spit it out for Kami's sake!" She was agitated she knew just who Matt was. He wasn't bad looking but he definitely wasn't someone she found attractive. She wouldn't voluntarily sleep with him, but when you're drunk looks don't really matter she guessed.

"Well he said he took home a girl that was drunk who he hadn't seen before and instead of taking her to her house he took her to his, and they ended up fucking all night, those are his words by the way. But like I said when I saw him looking at you, I think he was finally putting two and two together Em."

Ororo sat back in her seat letting out the breath she had been holding. The situation sounded exactly like her own, so it was a possibility that Matt could be the father of her unborn baby. "What should I do Betty?"

"You're asking me?" she frowned, thinking for a few minutes, "First I think you should talk to Matt, and then to Logan but it's your life you need to do what you feel is best you know." She stood slowly, "I should get going now, leave you with your thoughts. See you tomorrow?"

Ororo nodded absentmindedly not even showing her to the door. Now all she needed to do was talk to Matt, make sure it was him. "Betty!" She made it outside just in time, "Can you get me Matt's number please. I want to talk to him."

Betty smirked, "What would you like? Home, cell or email?"

Ororo rolled her eyes, "Cell is fine, thanks."

"Let me text it to you now so I don't forget it."

"Thanks." Sometimes it was good to have the office flirt in your corner.

-Later that week-

All her things had been packed and all she had left to do was say goodbye to everyone. She was going to miss this place she really was, it had been a joy working with Betty and Xavier.

She stopped staring sentimentally at her cubicle then glanced at the wall blocking hers from the next. Her baby's father could be there, sitting totally oblivious that in nine months a baby will enter this world with his genes. She had put off talking to him, she was afraid of what he might say. This was a very delicate situation and she should handle it as such. When she was finally done here she would call him and invite him over and talk about that night, see if it all matched up. Then only then would she call Logan and let him know.

"We are really going to miss you Emily. It's been a joy working with you. I know John will treat you just as well as I have here, and if he doesn't let me know I'll make sure he changes." Xavier said hugging her.

"Thanks Charles I really do appreciate it, I'm going to miss you guys too, and I promise I'll call every week to check in."

"Every day for me right?" Betty chimed in hugging her friend.

Ororo nodded and said her last goodbyes. She started her new job next week. Charles had been kind enough to hook her up with a friend of his who had an opening. It paid just as well and she would be doing the exact same thing, but she had more days off. Which would be good for her because sooner or later she knew the effects of her pregnancy would interfere with work.

-A few months later-

Ororo sighed and tucked away her work into the top drawer of her large desk. It was lunchtime and Matt had brought over some Chinese. She ate it slowly her mind wondering off.

She had called Matt the day she had left her old office and explained the situation to him. He had confessed he had been drunk to and only slightly remembered that night. She had invited him over to tea he retold the night events as best as he could. She had been right it was the same. She took that time to tell him about the pregnancy. She told him he might be the father, he was skeptical at first after all they had only been together that one night. On top of that who's to say that they hadn't used a condom? In the end he decided that he would see in through until the baby's true paternity could be determined.

A few days after their initial meeting he invited her out, saying they should at least be on good terms if he turns out to be the father. She had tentatively agreed and they went out for dinner. This led to them going out together more and more until he confessed that he really liked her and hoped that she liked him just as much. She didn't know what to think, he was a nice guy, he was smart, somewhat attractive and he would make a great father.

She had yet to tell Logan though. She still couldn't get enough nerve up to confront him but Betty said he had come back into town and now would be the perfect time to tell him. Before she got any bigger and it was too late.

That's what she was going to do as soon as she left work. She glanced at the clock five on the dot, it was time. She would go to her old office hopefully Logan was still there and she would be able to settle things between them once and for all.

-Half an hour later-

She stepped into the almost empty office, having called Betty earlier to make sure he would still be there. She had promised to stay also just in case she needed her after their talk.

She made her way to his office, hesitantly, she was nervous as hell what would he say. She knocked softly; half hoping he wouldn't answer.

"Come in."

His gruff voice petrified her to the spot. She wanted to turn and run away, pretend that she hadn't been there. She took a deep breath and opened the door slowly. He sat at his desk his head down, she could just close the door he wouldn't know she was here.

"What ya want Emily?" he hadn't even glanced up.

"I need to talk to you Logan." She stood in the middle of the room her hands straight by her side, that way her shirt didn't hook onto her stomach making it any more noticeable.

"I'm listening." Still he didn't look at her.

"I'm pregnant." She said it as plainly as she could, her voice oddly calm.
