DISCLAIMER: I do not own
Chapter Twelve
" Again,really?"
The first thing Remy notices when he began to wake, was the sound of dripping,onto something metal. Calling on his years of training, Remy continued to feign sleep as he took in his surroundings. There was a musty smell surrounding him, he was laying on what felt like a lumpy mattress, and he was covered with what felt like a blanket. His arms and legs felt as though they were tied together, and he could see light shinning on his eyelids.
If he had to guess, (and he did) he would say he was in a cheep motel. It wasn't right off the highway because he couldn't hear any cars. Sinister had to be nearby somewhere, but Remy couldn't tell where. Remy's head was killing him, again he needed to apologize to his wife later for that. Honestly, sometimes he wondered why she married him , okay to be fair, he'd never wondered before now. Because they love each other, but this gas stuff sucks.
Remy risks a peak, opening his eyes just slightly to look through his lashes. And screamed. He had intended to take a quick look to see if he could figure out where the other man was. Instead he found Sinister staring straight at him. From a fraction of an inch away. Also, he's pretty sure the musty smell was Sinister instead of the comforter,as he originally assumed. Maybe this guy really was a Vampire, or just really,really creepy.
"Hello,son. " Sinister begins. " I am sorry about all of this, I simply wanted to talk to you ere being stubborn, and NOW...and now I'm going to have to give back all of my good behavior coins."
" WHY?" Remy demands. " WHY IS IT ALWAYS FATHERS THAT DO THIS CRAP TO ME!? WE USED TO FIGHT PEOPLE ON A DAILY BASIS, AND WAS I EVER CAPTURED THEN? NO! IT HAS TO BE MY FATHERS! AND YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE TRYING TO TURN OVER A NEW LEAF! BUT NO, I KEEP GETTING KIDNAPPED BY. MY. FATHER. JUST WAIT UNTIL MY THERAPIST HEARS ABOUT THIS ONE,SHE'S NEVER GOING TO BELIEVE IT!"
Remy would have continued, possibly for the rest of the day, but his screaming helped his wife pin point their location. They heard the sound of car doors slamming, followed by boots stomping towards them, Remy whispers " You may wanta hide" as Rogue slams open the door,Olivier in one arm and Kaitie holding her hand.
The others trailed behind her,just far enough that the fight was completely over by the time they got to the doorway, and they did manage to overhear the most terrifying phrase Remy ever used. " Woman,y'know better than to come rescue me while your pregnant!" While Rogue untied him.
There was a collective gasp behind them, where Kitty, Emma, Bobby, and for some reason Kurt stood. Kurt began to whimper before stating " You have this covered" and teleporting away. Kitty squealed in excitement. Emma smiled brightly, and Bobby sighed with relief, when Kurt left with out screaming. Rogue sighs, now everyone in the mansion would know by breakfast.

The rescue party walks into the house to the sound of Logan screaming " THIS SHOW IS GOING ON THE BANNED LIST,TURN IT OFF!"
"What now?" Rogue groans as she heads into the living room. Remy shrugs and follows, after a brief internal debate over taking the kids to the room for a nap. It could wait a few minutes. Everyone else goes their own way, still in shock over the pregnancy revelation, and wanting to spread the word.
Rogue stops short just inside the door,staring in astonishment. Logan stood over Laura and Rahne, who were staring dumbfounded at the television, which had a suspicious three hole break in the screen, Rahne was still gripping the remote in her hand, and Laura seemed like she was on pause with a cola halfway to her mouth.
" What. Happened?" Rogue demands.
" I have no idea!" Rahne declares.
"Apparently, father didn't want us to watch the show that was on." Laura states.
" She read a magazine article ..about rebellious teens I looked it up, and began dating Julien because she felt it was normal. " Logan rants." There is no way she's watching that pregnant teens reality show!"
" It was interesting." Laura replies. The others in the room look at her as if she lost her mind, while Logan yelled. "EVERYBODY WILL BE IN CLASSROOM FIVE IN TEN MINUTES! I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS SHOW TO UNDO EVERYTHING! LAURA JUST BECAUSE IT'S IN A MAGAZINE OR ON TV DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE!
Rogue shakes her head, but decides she should talk to Logan before anyone else does. " Logan, I'm pregnant." Rogue then leaves the room before Logan can react. Laura looks curiously at Logan,waiting for a reaction. " Did Rogue just say she was pregnant?" Logan asks Remy, who was still there.
" Well, no one would listen to her last time, and she didn't want ya to find out second hand again." Remy replies.
" GREAT! " Logan screams, before once again pulling out his paperwork and score card, recalculating their doom. Wade ,however, began screaming.
"Sorry." Wade states a few minutes later. " I had a sudden image of Mystique making the same announcement."
Logan nods as Wade continues " Which led to a brief mental image...of how she got that way, it was terrifying"
Remy now nods as well. Wade now pushes the button,changing the countdown clock. "Do you think it's twins?"
" I hope not." Remy replies "as it is Oli's won't be one yet, think about it."
"...okay,I won't push for twins this time. Hopefully, some of the other mothers follow suit." Wade replies, staring at his own calculations.
" Except Emma and Jean." Logan grumbles.
" Emma will be married soon." Wade replies, still not looking up.
"To who?" the others question
"Me" Wade responds. Laura and Rahne stare at them all for a moment before slipping out of the room. Remy decides to take his kids for that nap and find his wife, he still needed to apologize. Logan and Wade were now busy trying to decide how many more babies they were hoping for. It had been another long week.
