After the Nightmare

.

Remy Entry:

Rogue landed us at some hotel in Mississippi by nightfall. I fagot ta bring my wallet when I noticed te hot chick at te register. I only got ta notice 'er fer five seconds before I felt a pain in te back of my head an woke up on te bed. Fer some reason I membered ta bring my journal so tats why I'm writtin.

I hav ta admit I was scared, horrified, panicked, etc. when I thought I was marryin Bella. Te thought of havin ta spend te rest of my days wit er would make anyone thank suicide or life servitude to Apocolypse is a good thang.

But wat surprised me is tat Rogue just aint go away. She found Jimmy fer me … us an saved my life. And ta thank I almost thought she'd be glad ta be rid of me. An te way we kissed I am defiantly gonna make sure tat happens again!

Jimmy Entry:

I had spent te last week in a wooden box wit a dead guy. How would ya feel?

JeanLuc Entry:

I had a feeling tat femme wouldn' stand ta lose my son, especially ta Bella although she did cut it close on time, not tat I'm complainin or anything. With all that's been happenin lately I'll admit, just like Bobby, I hated Gambit fer not marryin her and settlin our family's disputes. But after all those damn Assassains did ta us who's ta say tat they'd keep their word after our chillen got married?

An I always took Remy ta be te self lovin type. Trust me when I say his mirror would agree wit me, but he was willin ta marry Bella fer Jimmy's sake. So tat has ta mean sometin right? Te boy aint heartless. Stupid probly, but not heartless. I coulda lost my son if he said no, if he refused I woulda lost somtin tat no amount of money could ever replace.

Maybe I'll thank him fer tat someday … maybe.

Rogue Entry:

I took about nine showers. No not cause I was sweaty or tat I touched Bella, it's cause of those damn maggots tat started ta crawl on me when I flew Jimmy to te church. Talk bout disgusting an it seems like those damn thangs jus loves ta hide in my hair! And the smell tat boy had was ridiculous.

So now tati'm clean i jus realized tat I hav no extra clothes ta put on. Jus my luck. But I am lucky ta day. I saved Gambit from certain doom.I mean I coulda let 'em do it. But I saved 'em fer Jimmy's sake. Yep te kid grew on me, tats why I did it …oh who am I kiddin I jus didn' want her to have my (crosses out my) Remy!

He's not mine, I mean I guess he could be, he's free ta date anyone he wants … I wouldn't go all stalker X-girlfried bitch right? Ok I'm not even convincing myself.

So wat I may like 'em. He's handsome, tall, muscular, tan, can speak French, drives a motorcycle, those eyes, an te way he smiles at me …. Dammit Kitty told me bout tis. I sound like Jean describing Scott well cept fer te muscular perfect French motorcycling parts.

Tat must mean tat I love him! Not tat I'm gonna tell em tat though. Does he love me? An even if he does I don want ta be his girlfriend fer forever! I mean I've dreampt about there bein more between us…

…

There was a knock at the door. Rogue placed her diary aside as she tightened her towel then opened the door.

"Mamma?"

"Hello Rogue. It has been a long time." Destiny said coming in, "I knew you'd be here and be in need of these." She said tossing a bag of clothes and such at Rogue.

"Thanks!" she said before looking in the hall and shutting the door.

After she got dressed, "Why are ya here mama?"

"I have seen three distinct futures for you Anna. One good, one of chance, and one bad. In all of them I will not see the end with you."

"Wait … wat?" Rouge asked startled.

"As the fate of all 'seeres' I have been granted a vision of my death."

After a few moments of silence, "How much time ya got left?"

"That is of no concern to you. I wanted to ask you however if you wanted to absorb my powers while I still had them? They are fading away. I have been able to see somewhat as of late."

"No."

"Are you sure? You could see your future."

"I'll make my own Destiny thank ya very much! (Destiny smiles) And ye rte only good family I got next ta Kurt."

"But it was because of me that Mystique had knowledge of you. I took you away from a chance to have a normal life. I am deeply sorry."

"Destiny, I'm a mutant. We don't have normal lives an cause of you I got ta meet my friends, my family (thinks of XMen), Kurt, and I got ta meet Remy. I love 'em ya know."

"Oh I know. When I saw the event transpire a week ago I could berily stop laughing."

"Do ya thank I'm makin te right choice ta be wit 'em. I love 'em now, but wat if I stop lovin him?"

"Weither you continue or stop caring for him is your decision. I cannot see your future because you choose neither good nor bad, you choose the choice and weither the future you envisioned is a good or nonchalant one it will be the one of your choosing."

"Are ya talkin in circles?"

"Possibly."

Sighing, "I don't wata lose ya."

"Who ever told you my dear that you will lose me? Just because I cannot be with you physically doesn't mean that there aren't other ways to remember me."

"Someone's gonna kill ya aint they?"

"Yes, someone you are not yet ready to fight, and hopefully never will … I sence you wish to speak of him more."

"I do, but I guess I should talk wit 'em instead of second guessin myself."

"It sounds like a plan," she said removing her dark tinted glasses to look at Rogue, "I cannot visually see much of you, but from what I can see you've grown. And you could do with some sleep."

"Are ya sure I cannot help you."

"Positive."

"Does Mystique know?"

"I have to face my fate by myself."

"So tat's a no then?"

"Yes it is," she said wobbling over to Rogue to hug her, "I love you Anna. Don't forget what I have told you and what you have learned both from me, Mystique, and life. And I am so very sorry for what I did to you. If I would have none what Mystique was going to do to you earlier I would have …"

"Stop apologizing mama. I love an forgive ya 'k."

Letting go of Rogue and heading for the door, "And remember the daughter I raised doesn't take crap from nobody you here?"

"Haven't fagotten."

"An you never will. Bye."

"Bye." Rogue said watching the door close behind her mother. Taking a few moments to absorb the information she cried her heart out. After the initial scream in pillow, swear, and whimper maneuver. She washed her face.

When she looked presentable once again she walked to the guys room. Of course Gambit answered the door first.

"Can we talk?"

"Oui." He said following her to her room. After closing the door and a quick grab of her rear end which was quickly returned with a slap, they both sat on the bed.

"Wat yaw anta talk about Roguey?" Gambit smiled thinking about the kiss they shared earlier.

"Remy," she said in an obvious 'I'm serious' tone, "I want ta talk about our relationship."

"An wat bout it?"

"Where do ya see us in a few years?"

"Tagether I assum."

"Tagether how?"

"Tagether like we are now." He said noticing the look of disappointment swamp her face.

"Tat's it then. Are we gonna be stuck like tis faever?"

"Anna yer confusin me?"

"Do ya love me?"

"Do ya love me?"

"Yes." She said without the faintest sign of disbelief.

The conviction in her voice made him so happy, but nervous at the same time, "Yes, I love ya too."

"Then where do ya see us in a few years. If we are like we are now then we'll have our good days like taday an our bad days jus like any couple. But how do I know ya aint gonna leave me again. I don want this on an off relationship between us faever."

"I aint leavin ya Anna."

"Yes, I know tat ya love me. Tat ya really really do an we both know tat ya can love me from here or any othah part of te world. We aint kids anymore Gambit. I want a real relationship. No more Bella and/or othah girls, no more sneaking off behind my back to do who knows what, an no more letting my family get between us. I want security in tis relationship Remy an I'm not sure if ya ready fer all tat yet."

Gambit sat silently for a moment absorbing her words. Was he ready to completely settle down? "Anna there aint notin wrong wit our relationship. An I promiss I want do anything ta make our relationship insecure anymore."

"May I jus ask ya tis," he nodded so she continued, "When ya were bout ta marry Bella were ya afraid ta get married just cause it was Bella in te white dress or were ya simply afraid ta get married? I've been in yer head. I know tat at one time there was no Anna an tat ya really loved her an I thank we both know tat ya still care fer her, but ya still left her at te alter …"

"I aint wanta marry Bella Rogue clearly …"

Interrupting, "So if it were me in te white dress would ya have stayed. How do I know ya wouldn't just abandon me an come back at a latah time?"

"Rogue are ya askin me if I want ta marry ya?"

"You love me, but are ya willin ta commit ta me?"

"Of course I am Anna."

Exhaling sharply, "I thank ya still got wat happened earlier taday on ya mind."

"No I don't."

"Well see. Ya just told me tat I wanta marry ya, but ya haven't exactly expressed tat ya want to as well. Ya jus keep tellin me wat I already know an it's not going ta be enough anymore Remy …"

"Are ya breakin up wit me?"

"Yes, in a way. I wanta know how ya really feel about me aftah we've been apart fer a while. If ya still love me and is willin ta commit then we can get back tagether again. If not then as much as it'll hurt me I have ta move on."

This so was not the conversation he wanted to have with her. She just saved him. There should be talk of happy things not break ups, "Anna …"

"Save te smooth talk fer someone who will fall fer it. Im'a go fer awhile then I'll rejoin te XMen. If ya want me back then I suggest that is te place tat you'll find me."

"Anna don't do tis. If ya want ta get married than so be it."

"I suggest ya get a good night sleep Remy. Tomorrow morning I won't be here."

Gambit's mouth hung open. His anger boiled to the top, "Fine then I don't need ya either. Bye!" he said walking towards the door, "An wat about me hmm. I don thank yer Ms. Perfect either! Yer jus gonna leave me cause ya feel tat I don't care! Well I don care now! I don't ever wanta see ya again ya here!" he said finally slamming the door with hurt across his face surprised that his family was out there.

"Are yall snooping on me!"

"We were." Jimmy said, "She has a point Remy. Yer jus not te commitin type."

"Now we're on her side!" he yelled going outside to smoke a little.

JeanLuc, Ears pressed once again to the door he heard crying, "Leave 'em lone Jimmy. He's a grown man. If he truly loves her then he'll find a way to make it work. And if he doesn't then he's not te one fer her."
