Chapter Two
Logan's Brilliant Idea
Logan calls the meeting to order, Bobby,Jubilee and Carter had not yet arrived. Wanda,John and William had arrived before Logan himself; Kitty, Piotr and Meredith arrived with Logan. Remy,Rogue,Kaitie, and Oli arrived with Wade a moment later. Jean and Emma arrived carrying Nathan and Megan just as Logan stood to call the meeting to and his family arrived finally as Logan was saying " Okay, I have come to a new plan."
" Really, what is it?" Wade asked,momentarily distracted from trying to lure Kaitie over to him.
" We are opening a Day Care Center. Right here behind the school." Logan states. Seeing the confused looks on everyone's faces he continues. "Because taking care of an infant would help the girls realize that they wanted to wait awhile before having a baby of their own. "
" Yes! That is very true! Look at Remy and Rogue." Wade states. " They had Ninja-Slayer, and then realized how much work babies are, right away! They are the greatest supporters of the Book!"
" Very true!" Logan states,in an equally excited voice. " AND they never Violated the Book! Kaitlyn is adopted, and she taught them valuable life lessons."
" Exactly!" Wade states, " Wait! Ninja-Slayer's adopted?"
"*sigh* Yes Wade, she is. We've had this conversation before." Logan replies.
" Then they are an even better example!" Wade continues as if he hadn't heard Logan's tone (which he probably hadn't.) " They are perfect role models. Not only are they Good parents, they have never Violated the Book, they adopted a little defenseless baby, and have raised her like their own to the point it's impossible to even guess she's adopted. They understood the awesome responsibility of an infant, and refused to perpetuate the Baby Apocalypse!"
" EXACTLY!" Logan replies. " Which is why I'm placing them in charge of the Day Care."
" Wait" Kitty interrupts. " You know that the flaw in your theory is that they like got married and were pregnant with in a year of getting Kaitie right?"
"...What's your point Kitty?" Wade asks.
" That they didn't really decide babies are hard or anything, they just decided that they wanted to create a traditional family, not that I disagree." Kitty states." I'm glad they got married and had Oli and stuff, I'm just saying that they aren't the best examples of how a Daycare would help."
" Are you arguing with the logic of the Chart-Barer?" Wade asks, in his scary-crazy tone.
" Ummm, maybe?" Kitty responds, while her husband shakes his head next to her.
"Katherine." Logan begins. " I think there are still lessons for you to learn. Like questioning the logic of the Chart-Barer... You are now in charge of Julien and Jamie. For the rest of the week."
" Aw, what?!" Kitty states.
Recently, Jamie had decided to pick a new person to antagonize. Julien Keller.
Those who had thought Rogue was scary when chasing Jamie, were now convinced that she had been restrained. Because they have had to rebuild the third floor of the East wing. Twice.
" It will teach you patience. And not to question you're superiors." Wade replies." Hey Logan, I do have a question though. Why do they get to be in charge? I could-"
" No." Logan states cutting him off." Remy and Rogue are in charge. That's final Wade. Unless you want to join Kitty in her punishment."
Wade quickly agrees, and they begin planning the day care. Wade announces" I can build it, I know how to." To which the rest quickly agree to, having no desire to build anything else after fixing the East wing.
" I think, to begin with, the Day Care will hold just the seven kids here. " Logan states. " We don't want to overwhelm the LeBeaus, or risk security."
They all nod at this. Just because no one has attacked recently, didn't mean that it would never happen.
~o~O~o~
The Anti-Baby Apocalypse Squad emerged from the meeting ,to post a sign up sheet in the kitchen. The kids all quickly gathered around, noticing that it wasn't another chart.
" What is this for?" Laura asks Logan.
" Sign up sheet, to volunteer at the new Daycare Center." Logan replies.
Laura, Paige,Rahne, and of course Jamie all quickly sig
n up. Lorna, Julien (while smiling at Laura) and Jonothon sign up next. Everyone else suddenly had something to do.
Logan announced at this point, after the room had cleared of the 'busy' students, " Alright. Just so you know, any student that volunteers is exempt from Mr Wilson's birth control lecture next week."
Paige, Rahne,Jamie, and Jonothon are excited at the prospect. Laura was amongst the very small number of students that were not afraid of Wade's lectures. Though she didn't enjoy them either. Julien was already happy, hoping that he would be paired with Laura during baby duty. Logan made sure to take a note, NOT to pair Jamie and Julien during baby duty. Somehow he was currently oblivious to Julien's interest in Laura.
~o~O~o~
Remy and Rogue had returned to their suite, which they were beginning to think was a little crowded. Oli currently slept in a cradle next to their bed, but soon he would need a crib. He was turning three months old the next day, and was sleeping mostly through the night now.
" Hey, do you think we could talk Logan into attaching an apartment to the daycare center for us?" Rogue asks.
" The only way to know is to talk to him about it." Remy replies, sitting on the floor to play ball with their daughter.
" I'll go talk to him right now, watch the kids." Rogue states, placing Oli in his cradle and kissing both Kaitie and Remy on her way out the door.
~o~O~o~
Excited to speak with Logan, Rogue was impatiently bouncing on the balls of her feet while he finished his phone call. " Elizabeth and Warren will be here the day after tomorrow." Logan says after hanging up. " She gonna take over your classes, and Warren's gonna talk over Remy's. You're still the Heads of students though, I don't trust anyone else with it."
Rogue nods before changing the subject. " We need more room. So we were thinking, maybe you could add an apartment to the daycare center."
"... That's Brilliant!" Logan states, that gleam back. " Forget attaching it! We'll add a new wing to the mansion. Build married housing apartments. It'll add incentive to follow the Book! I'll get started right away. I think I may need a contractor." Logan then waves her away as he begins dialing the phone.
Rogue walks out pleased, soon they would have more room, plus her new job was officially the babies. This was the best day this month!
