Chapter 19 - To have and to hold
Rogue, startled by the force in Beth's voice, looked up to see the emotions of love and longing that clouded her face. Getting up from where she sat she closed the distance between them and put her arms around her mother. Beth although shocked at first, let go of Logan's hand and held her daughter, tears rolling down both of their faces.
Beth was the first to speak, "don't ever believe I never loved you, Marie. I always have and always will, whatever happens."
"Ah know now," Rogue responded, "Ah'm sorry ah ran off like that, ah thought you didn't and ah had to find some answers."
"Of course, I wouldn't have expected otherwise, but perhaps you could ask me from now on without the desire to run off and find them for yourself. After all, I am the one who knows the truth."
"Okay, ah'd like that."
"Oh my god!" Logan piped up. The two women pulled away from one another to look over to where he was standing. Beth moved over to him and took the picture he was glaring at and laughed. It was a portrait of Logan on his bike, but he was dressed in some gaudy eighties suit and his hair was a bit longer than it was now.
Beth laughed and Logan growled, fixing his glare upon her, "come on, Logan, you have to agree it is pretty funny. Those lapels and wide pant leg bottoms." She lent across and threaded her fingers through the hair at the nape of his neck.
"Okay," he admitted, "But I'm only lettin' you laugh at me because I love ya!"
"So the age of chivalry isn't dead," Beth deadpanned. She put the picture back on the table and started to go through all the other things, "Perhaps we should bag these up and take them back to the hotel, we can all have a good laugh there." She fingered the two rings that were left on the table and seemingly slipped away for a few seconds.
Logan noticed Beth's reaction and moved to place his own hand over hers as it sat over the rings on the table. "Perhaps we should put these back on?" He whispered to her. She noticed the yearning in his voice and simply nodded her permission as she took her hand away. He reached for her left hand and brought it to his lips, placing a small kiss on the place where her wedding ring should have been before picking up the smaller of the two rings and carefully replacing it. He replaced his own and pulled her to him, drawing her into a gentle caress. During this time Rogue and Remy had found one another in the room and watched the scene that unfolded before them as they held each other. It was good to see that the love that Rogue's parents had shared so long ago had been revived. Rogue was very happy for them and knew that she would have done anything to get them back together if fate hadn't already taken a hand in that area. The pictures that she had thumbed through earlier only demonstrated the love that they had once shared, and now that they had found one another again that love still shone through. Rogue knew that they were genuinely soul mates. Many people went through their lives settling for what they believed to be the real thing only then realising that they hadn't found it, she wasn't even sure that Remy and her would ever have anything like that, but she knew that Logan and Beth had. Even after everything that had happened and a twenty year span apart they had been brought together again and she was truly glad.
"Ehm," Rogue cleared her throat as she watched the kiss between her mom and dad grow longer and longer. Suddenly realising where they were they broke their contact and looked over to her, Logan resting his cheek against Beth's forehead. "Perhaps we should get outta here now?" Rogue finished.
"Were we making you feel uncomfortable, kid?" Logan asked.
"Not likely, but ah kinda get this feeling that something ain't right!"
"Like what, beb?"
"Like . Ah dunno, but ah don't like it."
Logan and Beth regretfully drew apart and Beth moved towards her daughter taking her by the arm and directing her back towards the entrance, chatting away as they went.
"Remy, a word!" Logan said, as the Cajun made a move to follow the girls.
"Oui, Logan?"
"I trust that you are going to be honourable with my daughter! Considering how she can control her ability she is likely to crave certain desires that most women her age have already had much experience of these days."
"Logan, il never hurt Rogue, il love Rogue."
"I don't doubt that, Remy, but I'm askin' if you intend to be honourable towards her. If I find out that you have done any wrong by her so help me god, I'll ." his anger was getting the better of him and he calmed himself again. "Look all I'm saying is, I was as young as you once, I know the score with a pretty woman but Rogue is ."
"Il know, Rogue is inexperienced sexually." Logan's eyes became hard at this information but Remy continued. "Remy never ask beb to do nothin' elle not want. Rogue have control, not Remy."
"Good," Logan said, "I'm not saying you can't, after all your both consenting adults, I'm just saying be careful."
"Thanks, Logan. Elle safe, Remy only touch when Rogue want."
"Okay, now lets get outta here, this place gives me ."
Screams were heard from the corridor ahead of them as Logan and Remy started their way from the cell they were in. Looking at one another briefly, they sprinted through the corridors to find the source of the shouting that was now taking place. Rounding the corner Logan stopped dead, Remy nearly crashing into him from behind with the abruptness of Logan's action.
Before them stood Magneto and his entourage of Mystique and Sabretooth. Mystique held onto Rogue and Sabretooth held onto Beth. Noticing that four sets of eyes were looking over his shoulder, Magneto turned to seek out what they had all been staring at.
"Ah, Logan, Remy, so good of you both to join us. I was just remarking on the wonderful modification in both of your relationships." Magneto's voice dripping with sarcasm. "So glad to see that you, Logan, and your wife have reconciled. After all, Rogue needed to see what kind of hold Beth had over her intended, but then I find that my old friend Remy has caught her eye. No longer in need of a father figure she has to have someone to . rough with."
The anger in both Logan and Remy made them both shuffle forward, Logan about ready to take Magneto with one of his claws. Magneto however, had other ideas. Using his force he thrust Logan back, forcing Remy with him to crash against the deposit boxes that stood behind them. It winded them both as they fell down to the hard concrete floor.
"I suggest you don't try anything again, Logan, or you, Remy. Your women will feel my wrath if you do." He turned back to the crowd huddled by the stairway, stepping over the clerk that was lying unconscious on the floor he made his way over to Beth and placed his gloved hand to her chin. Pulling her head up to look directly into her eyes. "I've often wondered what anyone would find so interesting in you, apart from your beauty and your magnificent mind, but what did you really have that turned Logan's head all those years ago," he trailed his hand down her throat, over her shoulder and down the inside of her arm leaving it resting on her hip, a wicked gleam set in his eyes as he returned their gaze to hers, "of course, the antics in the bedroom."
Beth was angry, her brows shot up in shock at his last statement and tried to pull away from Sabretooth's hold on her, briefly noticing Logan trying to move but being restrained by Remy. She wanted to slap Magneto across the face but as she couldn't she spat at him. "How dare you, you bastard," she bellowed, "go to hell!"
Wiping the spittle from his face, a sly laugh escaping his lips, "I'll see you in the senate before I see you in hell. Mystique, Sabretooth, take them to the jet, I'll be up in a minute."
The women were taken away as Magneto once again turned to Logan and Remy. "I can see why you like her, Logan, she is spirited; it will make my job a lot easier with that kind of fire."
"What are you going to do with her?" Logan growled.
"Only what she has agreed to, please stay away Logan otherwise I will have to hurt you all, that includes your daughter and Gambit." And with that he found his way up out of the lower lobby, through the bank and into his jet. Remy ran behind at a safe distance to see if they would leave any clues as to where they were going. He found nothing so returned to Logan.
"Logan, vous okay!"
Logan lifted his head to meet the Cajun's eyes. He was sitting in the spot Beth had recently vacated, lent up against the wall cradling the bag with their memories in to his chest. Tears formed at the corners of his eyes, the look of defeat and loss washing over his features as he absently twirled the repositioned wedding band about on his finger. "I've lost her again, Remy, lost Beth and Marie as well, and god alone knows where they've been taken."
"Remy tink's il know where femme gone, Logan. Need to speak to Professor." Helping Logan to his feet they walked from the bank and found their way back to the hotel so that they could correspond with Charles.
