Ororo stopped in her tracks. Her mind racing, "What did you say?" She stared at the door, maybe she hadn't heard right, he had called her 'Ro'. She shook her head maybe her imagination was playing tricks on her.
"I said that ya baby is mine."
She wanted to ask what he had called her, but held her tongue, how could he know it was her? "No Logan, you do not know that as a fact. He could be yours or Matts." She still stood there her heart racing.
"Actually 'Ro', I'm pretty damn sure tha kid is mines."
There he had said it again, she went into panic mode, how long had he known and why hadn't he said anything? "Logan in a few weeks I will be able to get the D.N.A test then we will know for sure until then it is uncertain."
"How many times did ya fuck him?" He turned her around to look at him, but she averted her eyes from his, staring at his soft looking couch.
"That is none of your business Logan."
"Of course it is. How many times?"
"Once." She lowered her head, why did it matter to him it was her life she could do who ever she wanted. She didn't need permission from him or anyone else for that matter.
"Once? Not tha type of guy I thought ya go for Darlin'." He was staring at her with his stupid little smirk.
She frowned, "I was drunk…and I guess it just happened I do not really remember everything from that night." Why did she feel the need to explain her choice in men to him? Maybe because no matter who it was she would always compare them to this man that stood in front of her.
"I guess that explains it." He rolled his eyes, "when was this?" He had a haunch and if it was right, then he was defiantly the father he just needed a few more details.
"I do not understand the point of this Logan, as I said before that is none of your business. I am a grown woman; I do not belong to anyone so who I choose to sleep with is my concern only."
"Not when ya pregnant with my kid 'Ro."
She sighed, it wasn't her imagination that was the third time he called her that, his nickname for her, "It was at the costume party at work Logan, are you happy now?" She walked over to the table grabbing the water he had brought out, her throat suddenly feeling dry.
Just as he had thought, she hadn't slept with Matt at all. For whatever reason she thought that's who she had went home with that night, he was surprised she didn't remember it had been him, that had taken her home, " So you remember nothin' then?"
She gulped down a big sip of water and sat down on the couch, this conversation was taking a turn she didn't want to explore right at this moment, she just wanted to go home to bed, and "I just told you that Logan. Why can you not get it through your thick skull? "
"Surprised that ya don't because I remember every single detail."
Ororo turned to him then her eyes wide, "What do you mean Logan?"
"I thought ya were smarter than that Ro, what do ya think I mean?" He stood in front of her then, his dark gaze bearing into her own, a self-satisfied grin on his lips.
She mentally thought about that night again. Little bits of it had been coming back to her, she had showed up talked to Xavier and Logan had been there… "It was you?" she whispered in disbelief. That night she had slept with Logan. If it had been him then he was right it was his baby.
He nodded as the realization hit her, "Now as I was saying, I want ya to move in with me."
Ororo shook her head, "so you knew…"
"Seven years aint that long Darlin'."
She stood, putting some distance between them, cursing herself for being so stupid. He had known it was her yet played some stupid game with her, for what reason. She had thought her secret had been safe but she had been wrong. "Why did you not say something Logan? Why do you always try to make a fool out of me?"
He shrugged, "For whateva reason ya wanted to be Emily so I let ya have that. Besides if ya knew I remembered would ya have slept with me?"
"No…probably not Logan but still. This is…you…" she couldn't think of anything to explain how he was making her feel right now. She wanted to slap him, wanted scream at him but she stayed quiet mulling over everything she had learned. She felt unsteady as she swayed slightly all this information overwhelming her. Matt…how was she going to tell him, she actually had feelings for him in the little time they had been together. Now she would have to tell him that he was not father and they hadn't even slept together. It was going to crush him she knew that, he had been so excited about the baby being a boy, even thinking of names for him.
Ororo hesitantly took a seat, resting her head in her hands, all of this was going so horribly wrong.
Logan watched her, she looked worn out. He never planned to tell her, he just wanted to have her move in with him, so he could be close to her and his baby. When she had said no, he had to let her know. No matter what he wasn't going to let her go. Being in the doctors with her earlier had showed him something. The little baby inside of her had tugged at his heart strings. He wanted to be there for everything, when he was born, his first words, and his first step. If that meant forcing Ro to be with him, he had no qualms about doing it. No way was he going to let Matt anywhere near her or his baby.
"Ro?"
"Please do not call me that Logan. I am no longer eighteen, I am no longer in love with you I will not move in with you Logan, I do not want to be anywhere near you anymore." She stood going to the door and slamming it behind her.
She walked a few feet, and then decided to call a cab, there was no way she could walk home like this, she was to tired and her feet were already beginning to hurt. She reached for her purse, then realized she had probably left it at Logan's. She sighed; she would have to walk till she could get to a phone.
After a few more minutes she sat down on bench. She was so tired and her stomach was rumbling up a storm. When had she eaten last, she wasn't sure. It seemed as if everything was going wrong for her.
A sleek black car pulled up next to her and she frowned, standing up and started walking again. It didn't matter that her feet were killing her and her stomach was begging for food, she wouldnt stop until she got home until she was safe away from him.
The window rolled down and Logan stared at her as he kept a slow pace alongside her, "Get in the car Ro."
She shook her head and kept walking down the side walk, "Why can't you leave me be Logan? I just want to go home."
"Get in and I'll take ya."
She shook her head vehemently she wasn't going anywhere with him again.
Logan stopped the car getting out. This woman was something else. What had attracted to him in the first place was still there. She didn't just roll over to him as all the other women in his life had. When she said something she stuck to it. He caught up to her quickly, "Ya shouldn't be out here so late Ro ya know that."
She said nothing as she continued to walk ignoring him, she let out a 'yelp' as he picked her up easily and with long strides went back to his car. He flung the passenger door opened and put her in, buckling her up before getting in himself.
She stared at his profile her arms crossed, "Take me home Logan."
"I am." Was all he said as he drove down the darken street.
She didn't say anything, her house was a thirty minute drive from his and he was going in the right direction. She didn't think about it to much though, she was so tired. All she wanted to do was get in bed and fall asleep.
-Later-
Ororo woke with a start she felt uneasy as if on a rocky ship. She opened her eyes and glanced around. She wasn't greeted by her huge glass windows as she had expected but the dark night sky. She sat up in her seat trying to get her wits together. "Logan?"
"Hmm…"
"Where are we?" She asked sleep still evident in her voice.
"We're almost there go back to sleep."
She wanted to argue but the thought of sleep sounded to good, she moved a little getting more comfortable, then laid her head down closing her eyes and falling aback asleep.
-Later-
Ororo stirred, opening her eyes slowly. She still felt so tired but right now she had to pee. She got up half asleep and walked to the bathroom, or where it would be in her home. She switched on the light to an empty room. She stood for a second finally waking up and looking around. It was a closet, but it wasn't hers, she stepped out into the huge room, the sun shined brightly through two huge doors leading to a balcony. She went to the next door finally finding the bathroom, used it then washed her face. Feeling a little more awake she stepped back out into the bedroom.
Now fully awake she took in the huge room. It wasn't Logan's and it certainly wasn't her own. Where was she? Logan had said he was taking her home last night but she must have fallen asleep. She took a seat on the bed and mulled over last night, slowly eating the food on the night stand. Logan was the father of her baby and he had known all along who she really was. She scarfed down the food then stood. She was going to find Logan and demand he tell her what the heck was going on.
As she made her way through the big house she marveled at how beautiful it was. She had yet to see anyone, in the countless rooms she had been in. She was just about to give up when she found the stairs. She stepped down them quietly, into what looked like the kitchen. A young girl was busy setting up a huge table, "Excuse me."
The girl turned to her a smile on her face, "yes madam?"
"Umm…can you tell me where Logan is."
"He has left, he will be back in a few weeks. Here," she handed her a cell phone, then turned back to her work.
Ororo sighed this was turning into a nightmare. Here she was God knows where alone. She walked out the back door into the bright sunshine, she followed a path leading to the beach and sat on the sand. She glanced at the cell phone, only one numbered programed into it, she took a wild guess of who it could be.
"Logan? Hello…"
"Your awake, did ya eat yet?" His gruff voice resounded in her ear.
"Yes, where are you Logan, more importantly where am I?" The line was silent as if he had hung up. She sighed what was really going here? "Logan…?"
"Don't worry bout that Ro. All ya should be doing is resting and taking care of our baby. Ya don't need to be working or stressing bout nothing 'ro, aint good for the baby."
Ororo stared off into the horizon, Logan had kidnapped her. "Logan! " She screeched out, the reality of the situation hitting her. He had stashed her somewhere away from her family and her friends with no contact … the cell phone, the moment she hung up she would call Betty or Matt. "I do not know what you were thinking Logan, but this is against the law. You brought me here and just left me, with not so much as a word goodbye…why are you doing this to me Logan?" she asked exasperated.
"Calm ya self. "
She could hear him saying something muffled to someone. She hung up the phone tired of him and his arrogance. Did he ever think before he acted? What was the point of bringing her here? She didn't even have the time to think about it, she dialed Matt's number with no answer. She waited a few minutes to dial Betty's number her fingers crossed hoping for an answer.
"Hello." The hushed voice was barely audible
"Betty? Betty can you hear me it's me Emily."
"Emily where the hell are you? Logan is going batshit crazy here …"
The dial tone rung in her ear, the call had been disconnected. What was going on? She tried Betty again, then Logan and no answer each time. She gave up standing and brushing the sand off of her headed back inside.
-Later-
Ororo sat on the balcony under a crescent moon, picking at the food in front of her. The maid had made a delectable spread, but she couldn't force it down. She still hadn't been able to get in contact with anyone and now she was worried. What was going on over there? The last thing Betty had said was Logan was going crazy, over what though, she had no clue. She finally pushed the plate away her mind wondering…
" Its over." Ororo turned away from him the tears already starting.
"whaht the fuck are ya saying Ro?"
"I'm breaking up with you Logan, I knew this wasn't going to last, this little fling we had going…It was fun while it lasted."
He shook his head, " I don't know whats got into ya mind Ro but we aint breaking up, I actually like you. You aint like those other girls…"
"You mean Danika right? The one that was sitting on your lap? The one you didn't bother to stop from kissing you? Are you talking about her? I'm not a kid Logan, stop trying to play games with me."
"I aint Darlin I don't want to lose you."
Ororo shook her head, she couldn't take it anymore, always feeling as if she wasn't enough for him, as if any moment he would leave her…
Ororo frowned, not what she wanted to think about right now. She had to figure out how to get off this island. She couldn't sit here for two weeks fiddling with her thumbs waiting for Logan. He had said she needed to rest, but she didn't she hadn't been stressing about anything until now. With all this time on her hands, all she had time to do was think. Think about her baby, Logan, the feelings she had for Matt.
The phone rang and grabbed it quickly, "Hello?"
"Emily it's me Betty, sorry about earlier."
"What is going on Betty?"
"I don't know you tell me."
Ororo sighed, sitting down, "I'm not sure where I am to be honest. Logan said he was going to take me home and I guess I fell asleep because I woke up on an island." She paused glancing out into the darkness. "As it turns out Logan is the father of my baby, don't ask me it's a long story and I don't feel like going into it right now…"
"That explains it…" Betty was quiet for a second
"Explains what Betty, what happened today?"
Betty was hesitant to tell her, Emily was her best friend, besides that she was pregnant, she didn't want to cause any trouble or stress her out. "It was nothing Em…"
"Oh no you don't, tell me everything Betty I need to know what is happening."
She could hear the intake of breath from the other end of the phone, "Logan is in jail."
Ororo stood suddenly," What happened Betty?"
"He beat the hell outa Matt, I mean you should have seen him Em, he was like a crazy man… I mean …"
"Why were they fighting tell me from the beginning please."
"Matt came to work and I guess he was talking about you and the baby, and Logan overheard him, and told him to forget about you cause the baby was his and if he ever heard him talking about you or trying to talk to you he would kill him and Matt got mad and started taunting him… btw Em, you never told me you slept with Matt again. You got to keep me updated on your little conquest."
"Betty I've never slept with him, Logan was the guy I slept with at the party can you just tell me what the hell happened, "she was beginning to get irritated with her friend. She ran a hand through her silver hair worrying about Logan.
"Really I wonder who it was Matt slept with then if it wasn't you…" she paused thinking, "sorry so yea he said that you guys had sex and you were begging for his dick, his words, and then Logan lost it, he punched him square in the jaw, they fought and matts buddy called the cops, they took Logan away in a cruiser and Matt in an ambulance." She took in a deep breath of air. "I think they are going to keep him overnight and then let him or something I don't know, but I do know that Matt said he was going to have you again baby or no baby."
Ororo sat in shocked as she listened to Bettys retelling, she felt sick to her stomach, she needed to throw up the little bit of food she had managed to eat. She dropped the phone and rushed to the bathroom just in time. She sat hunched over staring down at floor, she didn't feel so well.
