Remy was rather relieved to find out that Rogue was alright with his past just as he was fine with hers. He was just as relieved to find out that Logan had decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and clear his slate, as did the rest of the team. The next two days were rather eventless for him, mostly last minute wedding preparations involving the bridal party.

The bridal party consisted of Kitty, obviously being the bride, Jubilee as her maid of honour, Illyana (Piotr's younger sister) and Rogue as bridesmaids. The groomsmen were Piotr's closest friends Bobby and Warren, and his best man was his older brother Mikhail (who had flown in from Russia with his parents). Piotr was thankful that his beloved Katya had not picked another bridesmaid because he wouldn't have known who to choose; probably Forge since he was getting a new suit anyway.

As much as he wanted to spend the day with his love, as he had every other day he had been here, the girls were going in for a final fitting of dresses and he was going to spend the day at the mansion. Rogue had suggested he spend time with the other guys around the institute and even went to the trouble of telling him that Logan enjoyed a good game of poker and that Bobby had always wanted to learn. With a smirked as he kissed Rogue goodbye and decided that he would take her advice.

Rogue was with the bridal party at the dress store getting the final fittings – or in her case a conformation fitting and hoping that she gave the right measurements over the phone type fitting. As they were going over how well the dresses fit – Rogue's fit like a dream, she was bombarded by questions left and right that they had been sitting on since she RSVP-ed with a plus one.

"Oh my God, how did you guys meet?"

"I know you said you had your powers under control but did he have anything to do with it?"

"Is he a great kisser?"

"I can't believe you're in love I'm so happy for you!"

"Have you guys really been together for five months?"

"What's he like in bed?"

"Does he cook for you?"

"I bet he looks great naked, do you think I could borrow him sometime?"

And other such questions and the occasional comment.

Rogue's cheeks flashed red at more than a few of the previous questions; she took a deep breath before she answered them.

"First off, Ah know yah joking Jubes, but there is no chance in hell Ah'm lettin' yah borrow him! Thanks Kitty, Ah'm real happy with him. Oh, and yes we have been togethah for five months."

All the dresses were fitted and Kitty's mother had went back to the institute with them and told the girls to go catch up on gossip over lunch. Rogue decided to take them out to one of her favourite coffee shops just this side of the mall, her treat. Rogue didn't know if she would be able to remember all the gossip she had learned but tried to file away the important bits.

Kurt was still making trips out to Genosha and keeping in regular contact with his Genoshan contact, Wanda also known as the Scarlett Witch, Magneto's daughter. Things had straightened out in Genosha thanks to Kurt and Wanda and the girls thought that they might become an item soon, if their prolonged phone calls were any indication.

Warren had made amends with his father, for the most part and was slowly steering Worthing Inc. to a better direction. He was also dating a mutant super model, Betsy "Psylocke" Braddock, who frequently visited the mansion with Warren and helped the X-Men as much as she could. You can never have too many telepaths, but some disagreed and thought that Betsy, Emma, and Jean were more than enough.

Bobby had gotten over his crush on Kitty when Piotr came back from Russia, and the girls were trying to convince Jubes, who had a crush on Bobby, that he reciprocated her feelings. Kitty swore by the time her first child was born that Jubilee and Bobby would be deeply in love and preparing for their own wedding, to which Jubilee argued by poked her tongue out.

Rogue was finishing off her coffee wondering what Remy and the boys were getting up to. Things had been civil between Logan and Remy for the last two days but she really wanted them to become friends. Rogue planned on spending her life with Remy and really wanted him to get along with the closest thing to a father she had.

Remy eyed Logan, Kurt, Warren, Bobby and Piotr form behind his cards; the only threat in this game was Logan, the rest were mildly good at best. It didn't really matter though because they were playing friendly with chips because Bobby was still learning and Warren was rusty.

Whilst playing poker with the X-Men guys he was biding his time and slowly pumping information out of them, he learned numerous amounts of things but very few pertaining to his topic of interest; Rogue. He had learned that Warren had a slight crush on Rogue when he first joined, but he was dating now so Remy had no problems with him. Bobby wasn't romantically interested in Rogue because he knew that she was out of his league, and over the past few days Remy noted the sexual tension between the Iceboy and the girl who wore an obnoxiously bright yellow jacket.

Rogue had filled in the gaps for him about Logan and Kurt a few nights ago and for that he was thankful, all he got from them was a rather strong protective vibe. Remy was more than surprised to find out that Kurt's mother and by extension Rogue's mother was Mystique; he had met with her a number of times and they never ended well. He was slightly glad she was estranged from her mother because as much as he loved her, he didn't want to win over Mystique; although the challenge did appeal to the gambler inside of him.

Rogue didn't tell him much about Wolverine only that in times when they needed someone, they were there for each other. They were both loners and chose to give the slightest leeway to the other. In simplest terms they were family and Remy could see they couldn't be closer even if they were blood related. He really wanted to win Logan over, not only because Rogue was definitely as daddy's girl but also because he seemed like a great friend, someone who would always have his back; lord knew that Remy would need as many of them as he could get.
