Chapter 23 - The ball and the blessing

The afternoon sun shone through the half open blinds of cottage's master bedroom. The ethereal light of the golden globe illuminating everything in the room with a warm but pale shroud including the intertwined bodies of both Logan and Beth.

Logan had already been awake for ten minutes and hadn't the heart to wake his wife. She lay peacefully within his arms, her chin lying against his chest and he watched as her head bobbed along with the breathing motion of his torso.

He chuckled to himself, remembering all that they had done to one another after her return from the city. Her elegantly coiffured hair now lay tangled and she had complained about chipping a nail but none of it mattered to him, he could never imagine her looking more beautiful than she did when she was natural. To him, she was as striking with her hair down or tied back, with little or no make up and wearing her grey x-men issue sweats than she had been when she had walked through the door the previous evening. 'But then, that's because I love her,' he thought.

Beth stirred and began to wake. Logan could feel her eyelashes flickering against his chest as she began to open her eyes and soon she was sat up in front of him, her bare breasts wobbling slightly with her sudden movements. Knowing that her husband was watching her she turned to look at him "Morning, my love!" She said as she crossed her legs in front of her and stretched her arms over her head in cat like motion.

"I think you'll find its afternoon!" He said amused.

Beth groaned, it couldn't be. "Oh god . no! I've got so much to do before tonight and its . no,' she looked at the alarm clock, "not 5.30! Marie will be here in fifteen minutes."

Logan started to laugh as he watched Beth's face grow more panic stricken with every more joyous sound he made.

Getting up from the bed Beth made her way to the bathroom scowling at Logan as she went. She picked up his pile of dishevelled clothes and hurled them at him. "Instead of laughing you could make yourself useful," she cried, "I need to make myself stunning for you and you're not helping by sitting there laughing at me."

Logan followed her into their bathroom stepping into his boxers as he went. "Beth," he tried putting his arms around her now satin covered body, "you don't need to make yourself stunning for me. There is nothing that you could do that would make you more beautiful to me, I love you even with your tangled her and messed up lipstick and eye shadow!"

"Thanks," she replied a little more brightly, "I think. It's just nice to know I can still attract you after all these years."

"Well, perhaps it helps that I don't remember past years." Logan let out a whimper as Beth pelted his arm, he continued smiling down at her and using his left index finger to push the bangs out of her eyes, "seriously though, even if I could remember and we had been together for all those years I know that I wouldn't rather be anywhere else than in your arms as we fall asleep. I've never known such peace, Beth, than when we're together. You complete me!"

Silent tears slid over Beth's cheeks at Logan's words. She felt him gently wipe them away with his thumbs before placing his lips over hers and kissing her with a soft smouldering kiss. As they pulled back she smiled up at him and he answered her with his own.

Eventually she found her voice, "I think you'd better go before I can't resist you any longer and take you back to bed!"

"Would that be a bad thing?" His voice rasped, husky with anticipation.

"As we're the guests of honour I think it would be a bit selfish if we didn't turn up, don't you?"

"You have a point, my love. However, I hope this means the invitation is still open for when this bash is over with?"

Reaching up she answered him with her own tantalizing kiss, using her tongue to trace his open lips and tenderly biting and sucking on the lower one before pulling away from him again. Desire shone through both of their expressions as Logan reluctantly pulled away. "Until later then!" And with that he turned out of the bathroom, retracing his earlier steps to retrieve his clothes, putting them on and finally blowing Beth a kiss before he left the house.

Marie knocked on the door and momentarily Beth shouted down for her to let herself in, closely followed by the now present 'Ro and Jeannie. Beth called from them to go up and found her in the bedroom in a total panic.

"Hon, what's wrong?" 'Ro asked.

"Look at me, my hair's a disaster and I chipped a nail last night." Beth wailed.

"Was Logan a bit rough last night," 'Ro returned mockingly, Jeannie sniggered while Marie rolled her eyes at the unfurling scene. Did all women talk about sex like this?

"No!" Beth assured. "He, surprisingly, was a perfect gentleman last night; I got myself into this mess."

"I don't think I'd better ask!" 'Ro motioned for Beth to sit on the stool in front of the dressing table. Obediently Beth sat as instructed as 'Ro gave her the once over. "It's okay, not as bad as I'm sure you think it is. I'll sort your hair out, Jeannie can look at your nails and Marie can sort out your make up."

The worry lines disappeared as Beth began to smile. Thinking back to the first moments back at the school Beth had reckoned on only being able to stay there for a short while, knowing that it would have been difficult for her to be so close to the one person she thought she would never have again. But now she was glad. Glad that she had made the journey in the first place, glad that she'd got Logan back, glad that she'd found Marie and glad that she had so many good friends. "Thank you, all of you! I don't think you realise how much this all means to me."

"We know how much this means to Charles having you here, at last and to the rest of us really," Jeannie answered.

"We all missed you, you know!" 'Ro said as she squeezed her friend's shoulder. Upon releasing it she began to tackle some of the more stubborn knots in Beth's hair.

"And ah'm happy ah had the chance to finally meet my mother, even though at first ah thought she was competition. Ah'm sorry, mum!"

"Don't be," Beth smiled as she took Marie's hands in her own. "I'm glad I have my family back together, if I hadn't been so selfish ."

"Mum, its okay, really, if ah'd been in the same situation ah probably would've done the same as you. Ah love you, that's all that matters."

"Drawing Marie into a hug Beth replied, "and I love you!"

"Mmm mmm, when you two have finally finished!"

Marie and Beth drew apart smiling, "Ah think we better get on, Dad's gonna wanna see some kinda transformation."

Beth sniggered recalling Logan's earlier words. Smiling to herself she readied herself for the onslaught that was about to take place and sat back, enjoying the pampering that was to come.

"Logan, will you stop fidgeting, you're making me feel nervous!"

"I can't help it, Cyke. This suit is bothering the hell out of me and it's not like Beth to be late."

"You never heard it be lucky for femme to arrive late will be lucky!" Remy said as he glanced over to Logan.

"Yeah, but we're already married if you hadn't noticed, I don't think it counts a second time, mind you she was late then!"

Remy, Scott and Charles all turned their eyes to Logan. Noticing the stares he looked on confused. "What?" He asked angrily.

"Logan, are you remembering your past? Do you realise what you just said?" Charles asked.

Logan thought for a moment, had he remembered something? Could he recall the event of his marriage to Beth, after all he had recalled her being late. "I'm not sure, but I know someone who," he stopped his sentence short as he noticed the girls walking through the large double doors to the solarium and waited in anticipation for the only face he wanted to see. His heart leapt to his mouth and his breathing became erratic, anyone would have thought from his reaction that he was actually going to be wed today, but then in a way he was. He began to walk toward the entrance and received compliments from 'Ro, Jean and Marie as he passed them all in turn, but he didn't acknowledge them and never heard a word they spoke.

He treaded halfway when he was met by her gaze. He had been wrong; the Beth that stood in front of him now was the most beautiful Beth he had ever seen in his life. Her hair had been expertly swept back from her face and pinned into a French plait with a few strands being left around her face to soften the total effect. Her nails had been repainted with a perlescent varnish making it seem like she opals on the tips of her fingers. A light covering of lilacs and pinks had been applied to her eyelids and cheeks, her lips covered with a shimmering rose pink tint. She smiled at him as she noticed his ecstatic look upon her but he didn't notice, he never even noticed that he had stopped walking and now she was moving toward him. He took in her form as it swayed continuing on its journey to him, covered by the palest lilac silk he thought he had ever seen. It made her look so delicate, not like the human weapon that she actually was, the fit accenting the curve of her breast, waist and hip.

Finally they met in the middle of the room noticing nothing around them but observing everything about each other. Logan tried to speak but found that his mouth had gone dry. Beth pressed her left index finger to his mouth and slowly circled her arms around his neck. He followed suit placing his arms around her waist and they began to sway slowly to the music that had entered their thoughts.

"Do you like?" Beth asked.

"Very much!" The only words Logan could find to speak, his mind still reeling from the initial sight of her.

"Good! Because I was going to have to kill 'Ro, Jean and Marie, if you didn't!"

"As I said before," now finding his voice, "I love you no matter what you look like; I was just a bit surprised when you walked into the room though. There's only one time I remember you ever looking as beautiful as you do tonight."

Intrigued Beth had to ask, "Oh, and when was that?"

"Were you late to our wedding?"

"Yes, the traffic was hell . wait, you remember that!"

He nodded his head, "I remember you were about twenty minutes late and I'd started to panic thinking you weren't gonna turn up and then the next thing I knew you were there walking down the make shift aisle in that registry office, you in that lovely antique lace wedding dress you got from that second hand place on main street and me in that rented tux that I wasn't really comfortable in."

Beth smiled; delighted that Logan could remember some of their respective past. "Do you remember anything else?"

"I seem to recall the wedding night, we were both very animated!"

Beth looked down as a hint of embarrassment touched her cheeks. "I think that was the night I fell pregnant with Marie!"

"Then maybe tonight will be the night you fall pregnant with Logan junior!" He mused, "that's if you'll have me again?"

"What are you talking about?"

Logan stopped moving and turned toward the area that he, Scott, Remy and Charles had set up the day before. "That," he motioned toward the seats and the man standing at the end of what seemed to be an aisle. "I thought perhaps, we could have our marriage blessed, if you wanted to and when I asked Charles he thought it would be great idea to have it tonight. If you don't want to then I'll understand."

Beth looked on to the scene before her, so many emotions skating over her features as she thought about it. "Try and stop me!" She finally said. "I think it's a wonderful idea, Will, just like marrying you all over again. I can't wait!"

Logan was extremely happy by Beth's reaction and he thought that if she continued to make him this happy he would burst. Holding his arm out for her she took it. "Well, in that case my love, let's get blessed." And with that they made their way up the aisle through the activity of each member of the household taking a seat and moved to meet the waiting minister.
