Author's Note : I Love X-men, am wholly obsessed with them, have been since I was a kid but I know nothing about the comics cannons since I watched the cartoons and later the movie. So.. this story follows no cannons from any of them, I'm making the story lines up as I go along including why Remy left but nothing really important like characters or powers of course, I'm using what little info I know really. Please don't criticize me or burn me for this, I really wanted to write this fic for along time. Feedback.. feedback..feedback.. don't let fan fiction authors starve and become an endangered species .
Prologue
The spring night was warm around Rogue as she sat in the Mansion's garden and breathed in the late night air. Nights like this reminded me of nights growing up in Mississippi she thought as she breathed in the scent of late blooming flowers and fresh cut grass. When things were so still you weren't sure if they were ever going to move again or be stuck, still forever, like a butterfly in a spider's web and stay that way until eternity ended. She always came out here when she needed to think or clear her mind, the garden held a special place for her because it was so peaceful and she rarely ever was. Tonight was no exception, her mind was awhirl and she was frantically trying to sort things into place, so she could make the decisions she needed too. She glanced around and sighed, why the difficult decisions in her life always came along when she was just settling down and getting used to being in her own skin again, she'd never know but they always did. It never failed, as Storm would put it, Karma had it in for her. She chewed on her lower lip and tossed a stone into the pond at her feet, watching the way the water rippled as the stone sunk to the bottom of the pool.
Suddenly her head jerked up as she heard the sound of footsteps coming down the path to the secluded spot where she was sitting. She left her panic level rise, only one person knew she came there to think, and he was the last person she wanted to confront at the moment. She glanced up at him as he rounded the bend in the path and started towards her, reaching her a scarce moment later. " Remy", she said with a smile with her eyes still on the water.
" Bonjour Cherie", he said settling down beside her and draping an arm across her covered shoulders. Knowing Gambit would probably join her there, Rogue had dressed for safety in a pair of jeans and a cable knit sweater, letting her hair go loose for a change from her head band and circle her face. " Remy thought he'd find you here"
" Why?" She said, wondering if he had talked to Jean before coming to find her.
" Because Remy knows there be a lot on your mind cherie" he said looking at her through black eyes worriedly " And Remy knows you come there ta think 'bout things"
" Like what", she said playfully, trying to put things out of her mind for a moment.
" Like the promotion Xavier be offering you, da job teaching history here" he said. She felt relief collide through her, she'd almost forgotten about the new job she'd been offered in her haste of getting other news.
" Oh" she said " Of course, Ah'm gonna take it, Ah ready know that"
" Dat be good cherie", he said toying with a strand of her hair with a gloved hand. She glanced at him, something was wrong she could tell. She and Remy had been together off and on for along time, and had been sleeping together for the past few months ever since they'd been stuck alone together and thought they were going to die on a mission against the Brotherhood of Mutants. She could tell when something was bothering him since she was one of few people he'd talk to if something did bother him.
She leaned against him " Something wrong Sugah? Your awful quiet"
Remy was quiet for a moment then he spoke " Yeah, something be wrong cherie", he said looking down at her. " Dat's what Remy came here to talk to you about"
Rogue sat up and looked at him" Ah have something Ah want to talk to you about to but it can wait .", she waited a moment then sighed in frustration "So talk Cajun and stop scaring me, why don't you?"
He looked away for a moment then looked at her, tipping her chin up so they were eye to eye with each other " Remy be honest with you cherie." He said sadly " Remy not be happy here , ma past is to much for the others to bare, even Xavier and Remy knows it. It be time for da Cajun to leave" he sat back and waited for her to respond to what he had said.
" Leave?" Rogue said, not believing what she had just heard or wanting to. " What in the sweet hell are talking about Swamp Rat, your leaving the team, your leaving us?" Your leaving me, she thought her mind whirling.
" I am cherie", he said miserably and she could feel the pain emanating off of him " Don't got no choice, don't think. It be for da best for everybody" He watched as tears built up in Rogue's eyes and without even thinking he took her in his arms. " Don't cry cherie", he said " It be all right, Remy want you to come with him"
" What?' Rogue said "Ah can't just up and leave Gambit" She gestured to the Mansion " This is ma home, and the team needs me. The School needs me, like you said Ah just got a new job, ah can't just leave them. It wouldn't be right"
" Shh" Remy said " It be all right Rogue, Remy understands", he smiled at her sadly " Your place be here with da team but Remy's isn't P'tite "
" Where will you go?" she asked, feeling like her heart was going to break and drop out of her chest.
" Don't know" he said " But ether way Remy be gone by morn'in" He stood and stuffed his hands in the pocket of his brown duster " Remy gotta go cherie" he said caressing her cheek one final time.
" Already" Rogue said.
" Yeah" Remy said " Don't got no choice.", he turned to leave then stopped and turned back " Watcha want to talk to Remy bout cherie?' he asked concerned.
She looked at him, growing angry rapidly "What the hell's it matter now Cajun." She shook her head " Just go Remy if your go' in, it ain't important now"
With that she turned her back on him and stared out at the pond again until she knew he was gone.
She couldn't stand to see him walk away from her.
Rouge didn't know how long she sat there, until the sun was peaking over the horizon in the east, and then she stood and brushed the snow off of her jeans with a gloved hand. " It ain't important to you Cajun", she whispered again to herself looking out over the school grounds. She reached into the pocket of her jeans and pulled out a grainy ultrasound photo. One Jean had taken the day before after Rogue had come to her complaining of nausea and dizziness. It was the reason she had wanted to talk to Remy the night before, to tell him about the life they had created. She looked down at the black and white picture, and traced the outline of her son, of their son with a finger tip and spoke with a shaking voice to the morning air.
"-Well little one, guess its just gonna be you and me from here on in."
With that, she turned and began to walk back to the mansion, reaching it and stepping inside, just as the sun had risen fully in the sky and the day began again.
