Title: Light of Our Lives

Author: Aquarius Angel

Author's Note: This is the END! I am very sad….but happy at the same time. But at last it is completed, so REVIEW NOW!

Some Story Facts: 1) I started writing the first chapter at least a month a before I posted it…I wanted to make sure I had a good solid plot before I let people start reading it. 2) It took me about 14 months from the first post to the last post. 3) The story is just under 82 full pages long with 39,192 words. 4) This is my 14th story, 11th finished story, and my 7th chapter story. 5) Oh and of course it is my first and so far only X-men fic!

Disclaimer: I don't own the X-men, or any of the marvel characters, ideas, etc. I will however admit to willing marry those that do own these rights, so I can claim owner ship. And I also will claim owning those characters I did create for my own story purposes (i.e. Ella, etc)

It had been a long week of wondering and circling. A mission that should have taken just a couple of hours, maybe a night at most, turned out to take a week of searching and hunting. Logan was pissed at the mutant they had been tracking, and it took both Bobby and Scott to keep him from gutting the mutant on sight. He tried to remain calm as the time passed and they still had not managed to get in contact with this mutant. He even managed for the thirst three days to stay civil with his teammates, but by the fifth day he was mad. He should and could have been home by then, and there would be no living in his house if he did not make it home in time to full fill his promise. And this stupid Gamibit guy just would not stay in a location long enough for the X-men to pick him up. Gamibit had asked the Professor for help, and then decided to hide from the X-men that were trying to help him.

So Logan was beyond pissed when they were finally able to catch up with him, in New Orleans of all places. Where it was hot, dirty, and filled with people that either didn't belong there or didn't want to be there. It was not a pleasant experience. By the time they reloaded the X-bird, Logan had only a few hours to make it home in time, and the new member on the plane was not helping his temper. Scott finally pulled command and yelled at both Logan and Gamibit to behave, and therefore keeping Gamibit alive for until he had a chance to talk to the Professor. This just set Logan off more, he wanted to be home five days ago.

But now they were back in New York and Logan was walking toward his home. He took the extra time to get cleaned up at the mansion, so at least the few extra minutes he had he could spend with his wife and not showering.

His wife, even now after six years of marriage he couldn't believe that Marie married him. It was a happy day and he now lives a very happy life. This was the longest mission, for him, to go one since he got married. He didn't like leaving his family by themselves, even though they were perfectly capable of defending themselves.

When he came to the clearing and saw his house, his family's house, he smiled. Logan, the wolverine, the man that never stayed in the same place for longer than five days had finally found his home.

He practically ran into the house, but was careful not to make a sound. If he would even close the door with a squeak he would wake up someone. Seeing that the living room was still in one piece he continued to walk up the stairs two at a time. Knowing how early it was in the morning he went straight to the master bedroom, to saver what remaining minutes he may have with his beautiful wife.

Seeing that she was still fast asleep, her arm hugging his pillow as if it could replace the fact that he was not asleep next to her. He smiled and thought about how amazing and beautiful she was even in sleep.

However, he wanted her to be awake and greet him with a proper wifely greeting. So he started giving her butterfly kisses, first on her forehead, working around her face, and then went on to kiss her neck.

Marie soon awoke to the kisses and made soft moaning sounds. Logan realizing that she was awake went to kiss her lips. She imminently responded to the kiss, happy that he was finally home. When they were finally forced to breath, Marie sighed happily.

"Welcome Home, Sugar." She said while pulling him close, so she could hold him close to her. "I missed you so much."

"Not as much as I missed you!" He responded as he started kissing her again. The kisses were passionate but they both knew that they did not have much time, so they refrained from getting to passionate. Logan was happy to be home in his own bed and being in the arms of his lover again.

"I love you." She said as their lips separated from a kiss.

"I love you." He said as he gently pecked her lips.

"We're going to have another baby." Marie said as Logan stared down at her. He raised a brow and looked questioning at her. "I had Jean run some tests. I wanted to know before you this time. And with you gone so long she was able to tell me for sure that I was pregnant." She said as she happily kissed him. He kissed her back, but their kisses were now playful and happy.

Logan was excited to be having another baby, and this time he was surprised by the fact. He had been the first to realize the changes in Marie's body, subtle as they were at the beginning. But then he could hear the baby's faint heart beat and knew that they were going to be parents again. It really wasn't his fault that he had such good intuition and hearing, and that left Marie bummed out, since she wanted to be able to surprise him with the fact that she was pregnant. So this time she managed to surprise him, and she was doubly happy, since she was pregnant again.

Soon they both could hear a herd of elephants heading their way. "Our private moment is over." Logan said with a small growl.

"Don't worry they are staying over at the mansion tonight. Something about an all school sleepover or something." Marie said winking at her husband while giving him one last kiss before they were completely bombarded.

Though they tried to keep the kiss short, they did not succeed because they could hear.

"Mommy and Daddy sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G…" Cillian and Selena sang as they bounced onto their parent's bed.

"That's enough you two, why are you up so early?" Logan asked the kids as he sat up to see his kids happily awake.

"You promised to take us to the zoo, remember Daddy?" Selena who was barely three asked with a pout.

"Logan you promised to take all of us to the zoo." Marie said from where she was sitting on the bed, Logan still close to her side.

"Dad you said you would show us what real wolverines looked like." Cillian asked as he jump some more on the bed. He had just turned five and was looking more like Logan everyday.

Logan smiled at them in pure happiness. "I'll show you a real wolverine." Logan said while tackling the two children on the bed.

"Logan somebody is going to get hurt." Marie said as seriously as she could with the three wrestling around her.

"And it will probably be you, right mommy?" Ella said as she stood by the doorway watching her father play with her younger siblings.

"You are very right Sunshine." Marie said, while attempting to untangle herself from the sheets she was stuck in.

Ella laughed at her mothers attempt and ran into her, accomplishing the simple task of tackling her and making it one big wrestling/tickling session for the entire family.

From a happy and safe observer's point of view, they looked like a very happy family. Three children with two parents all laughing and loving each other in their cabin home, set apart form the chaotic and dangerous real world.
