"That's obvious." He stared at her now, his eyes sweeping over her, settling on her small protruding belly. She stood like a deer in the headlights her eyes darting from one place to another without actually looking at him. "What does that have to do with me?"

Ororo's eyes narrowed, "Maybe you forgot but we had sex…not once but three times on two different occasion right around the time I conceived."

"So I'm the father then?" He looked away from her, he had thought she would come to him early instead of waiting three months to bring it up to him. He didn't know how exactly he felt about being a father. He never really liked kids, they were loud and could be hella annoying…

"Yes…no… I mean maybe…" Ororo ran her hand over her face, she didn't know why but she felt embarrassed to say it. She had slept with someone else around the same time she slept with him. She knew what he would think she was easy but she wasn't she was far from it, that week had been her losing her mind.

He stood and she backed away a little her hand resting on her stomach, she couldn't look at him, she knew he was angry she could feel it radiating from him from where she stood.

"Whatcha mean Em? Am I the father or not?" When he had seen the pregnancy test he had thought that the baby was his of course, she hadn't seen like the type to run around with a different guy every night, but he hadn't even thought that maybe she been in a relationship before he had gotten there.

"I...I don't know Logan, it's complicated…"

"Complicated?" he laughed standing up and walking over to her. She stepped back until her back was against the door, "Who else were ya fucking Em? It's either you are the father or ya aint, which one is it?"

Ororo stared down at her small stomach, he was to close and he was angry, she couldn't look him in the eyes, "It's... it's not like that Logan, before we slept together I slept with someone else… I'm not like that normally I'm not…

"A slut? Yea ok Em, I believe ya." He rolled his eyes and stepped back, suddenly not knowing how to feel. He had been certain the baby was his, but apparently she had been sleeping with someone else before.

Ororo closed her eyes and tried to take in a deep a breath, she couldn't get worked up over this, she knew how Logan was, she had known exactly what kind of guy he was yet she had let herself jump into bed with him, "I do not have time to explain myself to you Logan, I made more than one mistake and I will have to live with it."

"Oh so now ya see fucking around like a whore was a mistake, a little late aint it Em?"

She shook her head she wasn't going to even try to talk to him, she knew he was mad and whatever she said would go in one ear and out the other, "I'm not going to argue with you Logan, you see me however you want to. I do not care, the only thing I care about right now is my baby. No matter what the outcome is Logan this is MY baby."

She turned away from him, to hide the tears that were slowly starting to fall, "I do not know why I even came here. I should have known exactly how you would react." He had changed a lot since that summer, "Please forget what I've said tonight Logan. When it is possible I will get a d.n.a test then I will let you know. Until then I am sorry for the inconvenience tonight. Goodbye." She opened the door and left still trying to hold in her sobs.

"Emily." Betty came up behind her and put a comforting arm around her shoulder. "It's ok Em."

She said nothing as Betty helped her outside, she sobbed with each step, now more than ever she hoped Matt was the father, he seemed like he would be a good one. He was already Attentive her needs and she was sure he would be the same to their kid.

"Don't worry Em, if he's the father, I'm sure he'll turn around don't stress yourself ok." She smiled brightly at her friend, "If anything you know your baby will have what it needs, if Logan doesn't want to be in its life it's called child support. And if it's Matt he will have a loving father. Your baby will be fine either way. Besides, you have me Em, don't worry ok?"

Ororo glanced at her best friend giving her a quick hug, "Thank you Betty." Before this she would have considered her an air head but Betty was wiser than she thought, and now more than ever she was happy to call her a friend.

"Yea, yea no more tears ok? How about a late night snack, I know the perfect place."

-(Past)-

"Do you want to come over?" Ororo closed her eyes her nerves taking over. Of course he didn't, he probably had parties lined up till the end of the month why would he want to hang out with the freak.

"Now?"

His warm breath tickled her ear, his smell wrapped around her like a warm embrace, yet she couldn't turn around and face him, "I...I was kidding, your probably really busy…for...forget it Logan." She sighed, why he would want to spend time with her. He could have any girl he wanted.

He was quiet for a second, as he surveyed her back, she was tense waiting for his answer. For some reason he found that so cute, her shyness really played on him. "'Ro,"

"Yes?" she said a little too eagerly.

He turned her around slowly, to stare at her, her eyes were closed an apprehensive look on her face as if she was waiting for the rejection. "Ask me again Ro. This time look me in the eyes and no stammering got it?"

She opened her eyes slowly his dark eyes stared into hers, she glanced away her cheeks bright pink. She focused on a spot over his shoulder, trembling slightly, "Do you want to come over." It came out softly.

His hand went to her face turning her so their eyes met, "Ask again."

She sighed feeling foolish, he was playing with her. She pulled free from his grasped and stepped away from him, "No, just forget it Logan, if you don't want to come over just say so. I am not going to beg." She frowned, "I am not one of your groupies Logan, and I will not jump because you say so I have more self-respect than that. You cannot go around messing with other peoples feeling Logan."

"I aint."

She went to open her door and he stopped her, turning her back to face him, "Just trying to help ya, if ya want something Ro ya gotta say it with more confidence. Staring off into space aint gonna do nothing for ya, you have to speak up. "

"What the hell do you want from me Logan, why do you always have to provoke me…?"

"Because ya sexy when ya mad Ro, I like the fire that ya spit when ya pissed."

She stared at him, reddening, "Don't say that Logan, you can't…"

He kissed her then, cutting off her words, he didn't know what he had to do to show her that he did think she was beautiful but he would figure it out. She was different from the other girls. She refused to throw herself at him, she refused to just give in to his charm as other girls would have. He didn't know what it was, maybe her putting up so much fight against him, but it turned him on to no end. He wanted her, he wanted to learn more about her.

Ororo pushed him away, breathing hard, "No...No you don't." she gasped out. Stepping away from him and getting into her car. She glanced at him once before driving off. She had to stop letting herself go like that. They were to different it wouldn't work, after tomorrow she wouldn't ever see him again so she might as well get over this stupid little crush she had on him.

-(End Past)-

"I'm coming hold on."

Ororo stood up slowly, her hand on her stomach. The baby had moved or she thought she had felt it. A small flutter in her stomach. She smiled to herself, he getting bigger she could feel it.

"Matt what are you doing here? Come in."

"Sorry for coming by so late Emily." He set down his bag on the table and glanced at her, "I called the office looking for you but they said you went home, is everything alright?"

Ororo smiled, "Yes I tried to call you earlier but you didn't answer, I went to the doctors, hold on." She disappeared into the bedroom then came back, "Here take a look."

The black and white image was unclear at first but then he could make out the shape of small head and what looked like little arms, "He's beautiful Emily."

She giggled, "That's exactly what the doctor said Matt. It's safe to say it's a little boy."

Matt hugged her unexpectantly and she hugged him back, a new found delight rushing over her. "He was moving earlier, it's …I don't know how to say it Matt." Tears formed at her eyes, this moment was beautiful, and the look on his face when she had told him it was boy had been priceless.

"I brought some dinner I don't know if you ate yet."

"Thanks I am starving."

"Sit I'll bring it out."

Ororo sat and watched him go into the kitchen, that moment they just shared, it's like a switch went off in her head, he had been truly happy. He wanted this as much as she did and that made her soften more to him, he seemed just a bit more special to her.

-An hour later-

Ororo rested her head on Matt's chest, the TV was going on in the background but she couldn't hear it, she was listening to the steady beat of his heart… "Matt."

He glanced down at her a soft smile on his lips.

She hesitated for a second then kissed him, a shy soft one she glanced into his eyes then laid her head back on his chest.

He said nothing but pulled her closely to him, wrapping the blanket over her. He smiled to himself, she was finally coming around.

-( past)

"Logan…what are you doing here."

"You invited me over." He walked passed her into her small home. It was nicely decorated exactly as he thought it would be.

"That was yesterday."

He shrugged and she shut the door following him into her modest living room.

"So what we doing tonight 'Ro?" He plopped down on her couch spreading out on it.

"We are not doing anything Logan."

He said nothing just watched her. She was in a plain white tee and a skirt, her long caramel legs teased him through the slits as she walked. Her face free of make-up her hair in a ponytail. She looked perfect. He stood and shrugged going over to the door, "Suit ya self Ro."

She sighed, "Wait Logan. We…we could watch a movie if you want."

He turned around his smirk on his face and she frowned even more. Why did she like him so much. "You're so annoying."

They did end up watching the movie, then another one. They curled together on her loveseat. Logan's head in her lap. She stroked his hair, the wild dark tresses tickling her fingertips. This felt good, the weight of his head on her lap, his soft breathes, and this experience was new to her. Never before had a guy been to her house. She had never been on a date before never, been alone with a guy other than Logan. It was weird but it felt so right being like this with him.

She glanced down at him, his eyes were closed he must of fallen asleep. She smiled to herself. She slowly tried to get up, he grunted and she settled back down, pulling the throw over him.

-(end past)

Ororosat at her desk. This was the only time she could remember ever being ready to leave work. She had another appointment today and this time Matt was going to come with her. She wanted him to hear their son's heartbeat, see his face light up.

She had thought she would never get over Logan, but Matt was making it easy. He was so caring, so warmhearted so considerate, anything she had needed he was there. Even with the middle of the night cravings she had, he would go out to buy it for her. But it hadn't just been Matt, pushing her feelings, Logan had helped a lot too. The way he had talked to her the last time they had spoken had showed her just who he was. Growing up hadn't changed him at all. The names he had called her made her regret ever sleeping with him, no it made her regret ever meeting him.

He had shown the colors he had been hiding, but the funny thing she had already knew that's how he was. He never seemed like the guy to have kids, yet she really didn't expect him to call her names like that. She desperately wanted to forget him, anytime they had spent together, the feelings she had for him, yet she just couldn't let him go, why she didn't understand. She wasn't dumb, she was just in love. If only that wasn't the case, why couldn't she get rid of this feeling she had for him

The clock finally struck five and she stood grabbing her purse and saying good bye to her coworkers and left.

"I think she's finally coming around man, took her long enough though."

"So what second base then?"

"What are we kids?" He turned away from his friend and back to his phone, "first base, but she's inviting me over tonight, gonna try and push for staying over."

"You're going to sleep with her?"

"I would like to before she gets any bigger. Her body right now is so fucking hot. You can barely see the bump but her tits are huge now."

"You sure we talking about the same woman?" Jeff got closer to him, "You're not talking about that ugly mousy woman that worked here before right."

Logan stood behind the door listening to their conversation attentively. They were talking about Ororo. Who else had fit that description here? This must be the guy she had been sleeping with.

"If you see her when she's at home, you would be saying the same thing. Whatever though dude I got to meet her at the doctors to see the baby."

"Oh right I forgot about that. So you looking forward to it."

"Eh I don't know how I really feel, but if anything I'll have a hot wife, and steady pussy." Matt stood and walked away leaving his friend behind.

Logan watched him leave. He wasn't anything special, mediocre look, shitty personality and an asshole. This was the guy she had chosen to have sex with, what had been going through her mind? He followed him to the parking lot and got into his car, following him.

-10 minutes later-

He pulled up into a parking lot and sure enough there she stood her dark hair in a ponytail in a sundress. He watched as Matt went up to her and put his hand on her stomach. She smiled at him and kissed him. Logan frowned, at that. Such public display of affection wasn't her. She had hated that. He didn't like where this was going at all, that punk wanted her and no way was he going to let that happen. "Emily."

Ororo stopped in her tracks. She glanced around then she saw him. And her face fell. "Logan."

He came up next to her, completely brushing aside Matt, "going to see the baby?"

She couldn't speak at first, she stood there dumbfounded staring from him to matt. This was not happening. She had purposely left out Matts name when she had went to talk to him. She hadn't wanted anything like this to happen. This was too awkward. Logan had a temper she knew that first hand, but what scared her now was he was being way to composed. "Yes."

"Mind if I join you." His grin never left, yet he moved closer taking her arm in his.

Matt watched them, unsure of what was really going on here. She had said that the baby might be someone else's, was that other person Logan? Now it was his turn to frown as he watched Logan escort her into the waiting room.

"What are you doing here Logan?" she had a smile on her face but she was far from happy. He had made it clear he didn't want anything to do with her or this baby until he was sure it was his, so then why show up here.

"Does it matter why?" he helped her into her seat and took the one next to her. He watched as Matt had to sit seats away from them.

Ororo glanced at Matt an apologetic look on her face, he just smiled at her as if he really understood, but she doubt he did. He didn't know their history he didn't even really know her. She had refused to appear before him without her usual look, sure he had slept with her when she had been without her wig, but he had properly thought it had been a makeup for her costume. Who knows how he would react if he knew that is exactly how she looked. "I guess it doesn't Logan, I really wish you would stop doing this."

"Hmm?" He had been lost in thought, wondering what the fuck he was really doing here. If the baby wasn't his it would have been time wasted, but what if it was?

"Never mind." She sighed and turned away from him trying to focus on anything but him.

"Ms. Munroe?"

"Yes I'm coming." Ororo stood glancing at Matt.

Logan followed behind her as the nurse led them to the room.

"Please lay on the table the doctor will be with you shortly."

Ororo laid there staring at the ceiling, the awkward silence in the room driving her crazy. How had she ended up like this? She was afraid to look at either guy but she could tell they were probably wondering the same thing she was.

"Ms. Munroe how have you been doing?" The doctor walked in with a smile on his face. "Oh you brought company today, hello guys." He nodded at each guy then took a seat next to Ororo, he looked through her file for a few seconds then put it down. "Ok let's get to the good part first, I am sure you're anxious to see him."

Logan glanced at her, it was a boy. Was she that far along that they could tell the sex already? The screen on the monitor flickered for a second then the black and white picture came on.

"Look at him, he seems to be growing right on schedule, look here you can see the chin is starting to become more prominent. Let me show you something." The doctor moved the little machine around on her stomach and it looked as if the baby was wriggling, "He will respond to some outside stimulus now. So if you poke gently you might feel him move around."

Ororo smiled brightly at the picture of her son, she could feel the slight movements of him inside of her. She couldn't put into words how she felt at this moment, it was magical.

"Let's listen to his heartbeat."

All three sets of eyes stared at the screen watching and listening to the soft sounds of his heartbeat.

Logan stood there fascinated, this little thing was inside of her, moving and growing. It was a part of her and maybe him, he couldn't pinpoint what he was feeling at this moment but he wanted to feel him move, he wanted to be here again next time to see this little miracle. Everything else was drowned out and it was just him, and Ororo, and their baby.

Logan glanced at Ororo and their eyes met. He couldn't decipher the emotion showing but she smiled tenderly at him. He held her stare for a few more seconds before she looked away.

" You should be feeling a lot better these next few months, this is the time that women like the most of the pregnancy, the morning sickness is over and your body is a lot better adjusted to the new baby so it's the showing off phase as I like to call it. Cause now you're showing and you and your baby are bonding a lot more."

Ororo nodded she did feel like that, she hadn't been sick in quite a while and her bump was bigger. "Thank you Dr. McCoy."

"I will see you in two weeks, if anything comes up though feel free to call."

-Later-

Logan watched her closely as she said good bye to Matt. She seemed very rigid and wasn't able to look him in the eyes. They were talking about something he wasn't sure what. Matt glanced at him a deep frown on his lips and Logan just smirked back at him. He must have thought he would have her tonight. Not if he had any say in it. He would never see her again, never touch her again. Matt walked away turning once to look at Ororo.

"Now Logan explain please." She sat in the passenger seat of his car. He had told her he needed to talk to her in private and invited her over to his house. She had been reluctant to say yes. She didn't want to be alone with Logan again, the last few times had proved disastrous for her mind and body and putting herself in the same situation again was inviting another fiasco, yet she never learned it seem.

"I will." He said nothing else as they drove for what seemed like hours to her, but really it had only been a few minutes. She stared at the inside of his house, where it all started. No, she corrected herself where her baby might have been conceived, this had started so long ago. She glanced at Logan wondering if he remembered that a few years ago they had been in this same spot.

"Now explain Logan, so I can go home."

He said nothing walking away disappearing into the kitchen coming back with a bottle of water for her and a beer for him.

"I'm not thirsty. Can you just get on with it Logan I don't have times to play around with you, I'm not a kid anymore."

"Kid?"

Ororo turned from him, she had said those same words to him, when she had broken up with him before. "I meant if you want to talk then talk If not take me home."

"If it gets too late ya can spend the night here Emily."

The way he said her name sent shivers of apprehension up her spine. She stood from her seat, her eyes never leaving his. "What is it you want Logan?" she asked exasperated, he was messing with her again, as if she was still that love-sick dolt of teens.

"I want ya to move in with me."

"You have got to be kidding Logan. No that is not happening." She grabbed her small bag and walked to the door, the nerve of that man. She couldn't forget the names he had called her, the way he had looked at her as if she was garbage.

"The baby is mine 'Ro."
