The Welcome Back Remy party was in full swing, people ate until their belly burst, glasses were never empty, people danced mixed with plenty of shameless flirting. Theo and Etienne stunt might have raised a few eye brows, but when it came to the Guild anything was possible nobody remembered it after a few drinks, it wasn't enough to save them from a lecture with Henry. The party was one of Jean-Luc's best so good in fact that no one noticed that Remy was no were in sight.

Traveling down an old dusty tail, pass the open fields and the stony stream nestled in between a patch of tress sitting by green creek side was two young couples beaming companionship.

"I can't believe that bitch hid your phone!" Marie protested "If I ever meet her…" Remy laughed at her anger

"It wasn't just her fault I should have talked to you personally." He pulled Marie into his lap with her back to his chest. "I'm sorry that I made you deal with everything alone Chere"

Marie didn't care what happened they were together now and that's all that matter. Far as she concerned everything happened to make them stronger. "I can't believe you came all this way and didn't know who they were?"

"Yeah well it's not like you showed me pictures or something" he chucked at her sweet trusting nature.

"You are a an old water rat" he teased. Marie faked being upset and shuffled off him "But you're the petite river rat that I love"

"That you love?" a smile shinning back on her lips

"…That I love" he leaned into kiss her plush lips

"You said that like twenty times since we got here"

"Not my fault I love how it sounds each time only get's sweeter" he captured her lips, slowly she parted them allowing his tongue entrance she pulled his head with her hand deeper into the kiss. Words couldn't describe how much she missed his lips. Marie gently worked her way atop of him planting her hands at either side of his head. Their tongues intertwining while Remy's hands tapping up her back lifting up her shirt.

"Ouch"

"What!? What is it?" Remy got up in a panic scared that he harmed her.

"I got a damn splinter"

"Let me see"

"No you'll hurt it"

"Let me see I know what I'm doing… stay still" He studied it, he had good night vision after all. "It's in there deep I'll need a pin or something"

"Guess that's code for we're going back home" She stood up dusting off her jeans. Marie started heading back she then realized that Remy remained seated. "You coming?"

"Repeat what you said?"

"What?"

"Please for me"

"I said I guess that means it's time to back to the house" Remy stood and dragged her into his arms were he looked at her intently his eyes burned the deepest Marie had seen.

"You called it home"

In one evening Marie found and mended Remy's shattered Heart. The way his hands stroked her arm and the affection in his eyes she knew that Remy was now putty in her hands. He was glad that Marie excepted his family and him, Remy had been in love once before but realized now that, it was only an illusion; loving Marie was the real thing it tingled in him from head to toe every time he so much as thought of her.

"Wonderful simplify Wonderful" the last couple of guessed praised the family for Welcome Home party.

"Marci, Marci" Henry thanked them, he was pretty out of it from his run in with Marie but it wont stop him he wanted to be a party to show the Guild's untied front.

"That was a good night" Mercy said sitting next to her husband

"Yeah it was, they enjoyed themselves" Hendry pointed out the front window, to the couple chasing and playing with each other. "Must have the girl looks drunk"

"The guy is the one who is wasted" Mercy corrected her husband.

"Sorry to disappoint you young kids…that's Remy and his beau" Jean-Luc informed them standing in front of the window. Mercy and Henry Theo and Etienne rushed in horror.

"Well that's a sight I thought I wouldn't see again" Theo pushed in, Remy was acting like a child which wasn't new for the prince of thieves. It was something that hadn't happened in years, they almost forgot that Remy was a carefree humorous soul. They stood there watching the pair joke and play, the sound of door opening woke them up from their trip down memory lane.

"Yeah like said I think the saints can take the title this year…Oh Remy you came back I was about to all in search and rescue" Theo tried to cover. The other family members bowed their heads in shame walking back to their seats.

"We went for a stole…" Remy said with a control tone

"The party was great you would have liked it" Mercy commented winking at Marie

"Would?"

"It's over belle for sometime…nice stole" Henry tried to retain his laughter.

"What that's suppose to mean" Remy defended

"Nothing homme…. just that the house is comfy that's it" Theo suggest.

"Don't imply things homme that's your not will to bleed for…" Remy answered narrowing his eyes at his cousin

"Remy!" Tante came from behind to hug Remy she squeezed him tight taking the tension in the room away. "I knew you could stay away once we had your angel" she looked at Marie "…you're destined."

"I missed you too Tante Matte"

"You should've…everyone going to bed now huh?" Tante told more then she asked, she was always the worrier for the family trying to get them to sleep, eat right as so fourth.

"Mercy lets say we head up huh?"

"You ready to go" Remy and Marie conversed at the staircase.

"Remy Etienne LeBeau and where is it you think you two are going…"

"Bed"

"Are you married?"

"She's having my child Tante, the line has been crossed"

"Doesn't been we can't fix it?"

"Tante…"

"I've placed your things in your old room"

"But"

"Marie is already settled…"

"But Tante…"

"She doesn't need you as a distraction" Tante put her fingers to Remy's lips "But me again…" she challenged.

Remy along with the other LeBeau knew better then to try and challenge the old mystic. It would never end in their favor.

Remy put his hands up in surrender "Done."

"Ok good night then" she told the others taking off to bed herself

"Well" Henry faked younded "Come on let's go to bed my beautiful wife" he mocked Remy.

"I'm feeling beat see you later" Marie told Remy she kissed him goodnight on the jaw line using her teeth a little bit, it put Remy at ease.

"Remy I need to speak to for a minute" Jean-Luc told his son as the others went to bed

"I will keep this short…" He reached into his pocket pulling out a small box placing it neatly into Remy's palms. "It's about time" he patted his son on the shoulder and advanced the stairs before Remy.

XXXXXXXXX

"Seriously I can't believe that!" Mercy and Marie could be heard gossiping down the hall in Marie's room

"No lie next time you see him ask him what happened at the LeBeau reunion" Marie was on the bed dying of laughter, it had been too long since she enjoyed herself doing nothing. Two steady knocks at the door helped contain their joy

"Come in come in"

"And what are two belles doing this late"

"Reminiscing"

"I could only imagine…" they started to laugh more at Remy, Mercy made way for the door to leave still cracking up

Marie came to the door to greet Remy formally "Enjoying yourself then" he asked with her in close proximity

"Yes I am"

"It makes me happy to see that smiling like that"

"It's only here because of you"

"Listen I don't want to pressure you into doing anything you know being in a new house and family it's a lot to take in" Marie grin grew twice in size Remy was nervous and unsure of himself she didn't think the day would come.

"Remy why did you stop by here" she wrapped her arms around him

"To say goodnight…"

"Ah to say goodnight" she traced her hand down his chest and thighs

"…check on how you're doing"

"Checking up" she dotted kisses along his collar bone placing his hand down her bottom landing on her butt, while her hand touched the centre of his pants.

"To say I love you…"

"I love you" she broke contact with his neck and bit his bottom lip using it to drag him into the room, Remy used his free hand to close the door from behind.

She pulled him to the bed and Remy creped atop of her. "ahhammm" Marie suppressed a giggle.

"What is it petite?"

"This is our first time in an actual bed"

"Lets make memorable then" he flipped her atop, walking his hands up her curves taking off her shirt in a seductive fashion. Their lips met and Marie hands fled to unlock her bra. Her swollen breast did a bounce as they came out of confinement. Remy fell back overdosing on them alone, those breast were like Christmas morning to Remy plus they were swollen it was Christmas with all the sweets he could eat. His hands made their way to her tender breast messaging them gently, squeezing them playfully. Meeting back up with her face to face, his wet tongue extended and flicked her Harding nipple. Marie flinched at the sensation letting her head hang back in pleasure. He repeated his action with a pearlier like speed before engulfing her completely in his mouth. Remy was fend who was deprived to long; he sucked teased and grazed his teeth against her breast, gripping deeply into her back with his fingers. The sensation tingled in Marie, her gasps came in continues waves her eyes began to close and the excitement cried within her. Remy moved his hands to adjust her hips; pulling her further onto him. The lack of support Marie had from his hands, caused her to collapse on her back, giving Remy better access to her body. He started at the top making a long awaited contact with her lips, their tongues quickly became tangled stroking and dancing with one another. Her hands found his shirts ripping it off in an attempt to feel his chiseled smooth skin against hers. Marie was despite for his touch, she couldn't hold back her control any longer. Remy lips were rediscovering territory kissing her from her neck to down her slioute. Marie dug her nails in the back of his neck almost to blood. She arched her back when Remy reached the buckle of her jeans. Slowly taking in her cream like tone he removed her jeans tugging, and wiggling them off of her. Using his teeth to remove her panties he discovered a patch.

"What is this Marie?" he demanded looking down at her thigh that was black and blue. In her naked bounty she stared back at Remy there already been to much interruptions, she pulled his head down to her level.

"Later Remy, not now all I want now is you" she kissed him tenderly with attitude biting the inside of his lip. "Please Remy" The kiss went deeper full of desire her tongue dominated his mouth. "…Don't make me beg" her legs wrapped around his waist. While hands undid his buttons pushing down his pants with her connecting legs. "I want you Remy, take me like you did before." She flipped him.

With words like that it was difficult for Remy to remember what was stopping him. Marie sat on Remy's lap laying kisses up his abs as her hands explored his biceps. Her hair shuffled forward as she slithered onto Remy's rock hard manhood. "Make love to me…" Marie started off with defined grinds into his shift sliding her hands down her double sized breast. She was good at temptation Remy thought. "Tease…" he said sitting up more to get to her deadly lips, grabbing her perfect ass; shoving it more to him while squeezing it. The rhythm was matched in no time, Marie held her tongue to silence her screams of pleasure after all this wasn't a greenhouse or a library. Instead her frustration went to riding Remy like a southern cowgirl; she rode him hard and fast with a new found aggression. It was making Remy belt out whimpers of pleasure. The pressure was mounting in between her legs, sweat dripped off her noise and her chest glowed a bight red. Her breaths were short heavy gasps. Marie was at euphoric stage there were no more sentences or full thoughts left her in mind. All her physical and mental anguish was being quenched, it wasn't enough not now she need more. Remy was inches from the edge gripping the sheets for dear life he laid there drenched in sweat hardly able to fill his lunges. Looking up at her bouncing body her knew what needed to be down. Wasting no time turned her so they changed positions. Her legs spread and Remy used his shaft to relive her they continued with their vibrant speed, his hands locked with hers as they rocked back and forth in each other. Marie pushed her knees closer to her so Remy could go faster. Her head pushed back and fourth around the mattress the moans lifted Remy higher she balled to him "Oh Remy, Oh I…" her sentence was never complete she fell victim to an unbelievable orgasm, each nerve was on ends washing over her repeatedly. Taking hold of his neck she devoured his mouth yanking his hair out of ecstasy; that was all Remy need to come to a blowing finish. Both numb with bliss and shallow breaths Remy eased off of her, reaching down Marie stroked his member upon exist. Gentle and steady "Did you love anyone like me…"

"No"

"Will you?"

"Never"

"I love you"

"I love you and will forever" Marie admitting bothered Remy about him saying I love you, something changed she needed to hear him say like he did the first time. When those sculptured lips spoke those words, Marie was in heaven with no intentions of leaving he was hers and she was his.

They laid cuddled in each others arms, her back to his chest taking in the setting of their life's. With everything that happened all the pain and separation it was all worth it. Marie heart stopped racing when she laid next to him, maybe because Remy was toying with her hair liked he used too or because the first time his fingers drew patterns on her belly. But that was only half it at five eight-teen in the morning Marie got what she always hopped for and for her it was perfection in everyway. Even with the misshaped lifestyles and odd colors this was normal enough for her, she couldn't picture it another way.

XXXXXXX

"Why did no one tell me that Marie was the one that was attacked!?"

No one in the room had the balls to say anything about it; the damage Remy would create was unimaginable. Instead they stood in fear of Remy, watching him pour himself a drink in the study.

"Henry?" he looked to his brother whom was supposed to be his leader. Henry couldn't look back.

"…I am going to snap his neck for what he did to her" he said will his fits tight.

"No need… I already did" Etienne spoke up out of the crowd of the silent.

"I want the details"

"Stop Remy, you're upset we know but this isn't a conversation we should be having. This is between you and your wife. She needs you now when she is ready to talk then we all shall talk." As much as Remy despites his father, the man did serve up some good advice once in a while.

"I don't like this"

"Justice will come Remy…" Jean- Luc told him with a reassuring face.

XXXXXXXXXX

Remy couldn't bring himself to lay back in the bed next to Marie he took the arm chair instead watching her beauty take form by the rising the sun.

When Marie woke up she heard all the of furniture moving, servants coming in and out of the room with Remy leading the pack.

"Remy what are you doing!" she was naked under the covers, reaching for Remy's fallen business shit she shuffled to get dressed.

"Were moving…"

"What we just got here!" he took a seat next to her on the bed pushing back her hair out of her eye's.

"Don't worry chere, we're moving down the hall to my old suet"

"Tante…"

"Doesn't matter, I want you close at all times… I can't let anything come between us again." He lifted up his arms and carried her of the bed

"Remy" she half laughed at him picking her up

"I know you want to see it"

XXXXXXXXXX

Remy sat the edge of the bed watching Marie freak out about the old new room. It was three times the room she was in. office space, a longue like area, two walk in closets, double washroom. It was a cross between a loft and a hotel specialty suet. It was the second biggest room in the house next to Jean-Luc's private floor. Remy won it from his brother in a poker match when they we're teens, he extended it one more room over which of course was his initial room.

"Remy! The draws have button command"

"Oh yeah?"

".. . The tub's can fit three of me!"

"No way" he joked

"No! Balcony view" she cheered like a preteen

"Marie you did get that part where I said this was my old room, meaning that I know all that stuff is there" Marie didn't come with a snappy come back

"….Marie" she didn't answer him, Remy sat up on the bed his eyes scanning around the room.

A cough signaled him to turn around. "Your business shirts are my favorite" she said touching herself in Remy's white dress shirt unbuttoning the buttons slowly.

"Looks bon on you my petite"

"Yeah"

"… Almost as good as it off" he crawled to her laying form on the bed tackling her down beneath him. Kissing her gently his hand roamed her inner thigh, their lips parted when Remy felt the bruise again.

"Why didn't you tell me Marie?" he sounded so sad and disappointed with himself.

"…Remy I didn't want anymore pain, I knew that this would start a war again, I couldn't lose you."

"You will never lose me there is no place in the world I wouldn't go, to be with you."

"No more secrets" she promised

"Non"

"…So if we're telling truths, can I say that bed's aren't our thing"

Remy removed himself fully off her "Are you saying I didn't complete my task"

"No! no, I'm saying that when we're excluded we don't hold back and with a added hormones kicking in there's plenty I want to do…"

"Well it's a good thing these walls are sound proof."

Lust jolted her smile "Music to my ears" she said kissing back Remy with a more conviction reaching for his shirt.

Marie 'shirt' had come off along with Remy's when a knock at the door became irritating. Henry at the door forgot about soundproof system Remy put in without telling their father as teens. So he buzzed on the intercom like the annoying older brother that he could be.

"Go away!" Remy yelled into the intercom next to his bed.

"…Remy the driver is here to take you to the doctor"

"Later!" Marie was making her way down to his belt, paying no attention to bicker brothers.

"She has to see him this is the only time"

"I said later Henry!" he was angry at this point and he turned off the intercom.

The door knob started to wiggle, and then the whole door frame started to shake. Marie flue off Remy and sprung of the bed to the washroom. Leaving Remy with his shirt off and pants undone when the door dropped off the hinges.

There stood Tante with an eclectic driver with Henry at her back "You live in a house of thieves…:" she told Remy before walking away, giving Henry the privilege to laugh freely at Remy.

XXXXXXXX

Doctor Borax was the only real doctor the thieves trusted. For a regular person to get an anointment it would take years. For Remy it took one phone call, Remy helped the old Doctor receive a painting he always wanted ever since they been close.

Marie was laying on the bed with her legs spread in a gown waiting for the doctor arrive. Remy sat patently (on the surface) in the spiny chair next to her. He shuffled a deck of cards while he listened to her talk about the future.

"I just want it all Remy, the house big old dog." It didn't hit Remy until he heard he speak how much he craved for that lifestyle too. "…And the crazy family reunions, insane Christmas's, I want our child to have all that I couldn't have. I know it will to cause you will be the daddy a great one too little league…" she let lose a giggle, she was humble and happy. She looked over to Remy when Marie didn't hear him speak after a while.

"Remy…" he's eyes gazed over stuck to her body. Remy was drinking in all the glory he had found. Peace after a life of secrets and heartache he found peace in Marie hopeful eyes. Not only that but in the future she painted it was what Remy wanted complete too only one thing was missing.

"Marry me…" he took hold of her hand bringing it hi cheek "Marie will you be my wife and let me create the future for us…Marry me" she looked down to the box that Remy held in his hand.

He wasn't kidding he meant it, he wanted it, "Remy…" he put the ring on her finger his mother's ring that Jean-Luc had been saving for him The box stayed in his duster over night. Because Henry was Mercy on rough terms he was never given the chance to give it to him.

"Yes..YES! Remy I will marry you" She hugged him tightly almost falling off the bed to kiss his which turned passionately so fast.

"Ok love birds time to get serious"

"Leave it to a doctor to kill a mood" Remy said taking a seat next to Marie again.

"Haha…Remy I must say when I received a your phone call about news this big, I must I was taken back some"

"So what does test say" Marie cut all the bull and right to the point her baby's health.

"I understand that you haven't been tested in while and that you haven't seen it live?"

Marie nodded a bit shameful that Remy had to hear about that.

"Everything I good" She let smile lose and heavy sigh squeezing Remy hand for support

"It is your health I am concern about" her smile and Remy's dyed with the doctors tone "From the test that I ran it seems you have a small dose of an usual chemical compound. I believe the street term is the new 'cure' there is a small dose only no need to panic"

"Will it harm my child?"

"It isn't affecting them at this time…Marie the cure is new drug that still being tested and examined by several scientist. At this current stage it remains visible in your system, it's when it starts breaking down is my concern. The reaction it will take with your system I'm unsure of…"

"Doesn't the cure have to be taken in doses?"

"Yes without ever stopping… but you took it once the withdrawal is the dangerous part."

"Isn't there anything you can do?"

"Not at this time it isn't hurting you, it might not I'm only telling you as an incase incident."

There was a lump in Remy's throat a blend of anger and sorrow he had a personal vendetta against the Assassins now. He held Marie tight as her eyes watered. She was silently praying for her and her baby's health.

"…Try and stay away from stress, keep your blood pressure low, take your vitamins Tante will make sure you no issues am sure. Stay positive and remove negatively from around you, your emotions reflect that of babies from now on got it?"

Remy almost choked "Babies?"

"Damn I ruined the surprise" the doctor hit himself mentally

"Babies?" Marie she felt like such an idiot this couldn't mean what thought it meant

"Babies?" Remy questioned "As in plural"

"Yes Remy. I'll show you, he flipped on the monitor and pushed back Marie's belly. The cold gel wasn't Marie's favorite feeling, it did give her a another feeling to focus on other then her nerves. The meter ran on her belly and image flashed the screen two healthy fetuses with a roaring heartbeat.

"Oh my God…" Marie was an official fool, how she managed to look away the other times was a mystery to her.

"Their beautiful…" Remy expressed in a low tone.

"Yes they are, very healthy and strong too." Borax flipped the switch and the heartbeats filled the room taking away its gloomy mood. "The echoing is a good sign that both the hearts are beating strongly"

Marie laughed and laughed louder at her thoughts the echoing she heard the first time now she got Hanks joke.

"Would you like to know the sex?"

"No" Marie said "Yes" Remy said then they revised and revised trying to accommodate each other. Finally Marie slapped her hand over Remy's mouth. "Yes, we would like to know" they both took in deep breath, why they were scared was unclear.

"We it looks like their will be a mini Remy, and a mini Marie" he said reviewing the charts giving the couple to let go of their anxiety. "…According to the genetic testing… what about human or mutant results?" he faced Remy and Rogue's happy but still surprised reactions.

"Yes" the couple answered unified this time.

"They both are…" That made Marie and Remy both smile and embrace one another; kissing franticly along with a dozen I love you they were lost in their own world. Doctor Borax knew his quos and that was one. He left the unnoticed and a bit happier; it had a been a long time since he last saw a couple in love genuinely trilled about having a pair of mutant children.
