REMY! It was a month after the time hopping, and Remy decided they needed a vacation. It'd beena while since they'd taken one anyway. He drove his Roguey down to Newport, he knew a guy there with a nice sized country house on the Mississippi that he was willing to let them stay at for however long. Remy sat on the porch of the country side home, looking out over the river as the sun started to set, boots tapping on the wood as he rocked back in the chair. He missed the south.

ROGUE! Wearing a dress for likely the second or third time ever in her life, Rogue had settled a matching hat over her brown and white hair, studying herself in the mirror for quite awhile before heading outside. The little sun dress was pink, yellow, orange and flowy, flowers painting the loose pattern. Watching the sunset a bit, she smiled before saying, "Hey..." Look! I'm wearing a dress. And it's PINK! :O

REMY! Glancing up from his fixed gaze, Remy exhaled a stream of smoke into the air before flicking the end of his cigarette away. He smiled a little when he saw she was wearing a dress, watching the skirt move in the slight breeze. "Chere," he held out his arm, inviting her to come sit in the Remy lap.

ROGUE! Heels clicking against the wood of the deck, she walked over in front of him before sitting back in his lap. She settled under the arm that was offered, snuggling right in. "Y'like it...?"

REMY! "I do," he said, tucking a kiss into her neck. "How you like it, here, babette?"

ROGUE! She hummed when he kissed her neck, watching the sunset. "Reminds me of home... Well, when Ah liked mah home," she shrugged. "Really did miss th'South."

REMY! "Me too," he nodded, resting his head on her shoulder as his free hand rubbed her leg some. "View's nice, ain't it?"

ROGUE! Rogue nodded, "It's gorgeous... Can't even believe y'all found this place." She unthinkingly let her hands settle on her stomach, which was a little bit larger than her usual slim figure.

REMY! Remy hadn't really noticed her tummy or anything, he'd been too busy trying to keep her out of trouble :p "Friend o'mine owns it. Thinkin' 'bout sellin' it." He pushed at her a lil bit to stand up.

ROGUE! Keep her out of trouble?! Rogue stood at his pushing, looking back at him with a slight smile. "Yeah? That's a shame...'

REMY! He didn't really say anything to that, standing and taking her hand, walking her out to the small dock at the side of the house. "C'mon y'river rat."

ROGUE! "Where we goin'?" She followed him down, though, stumbling a bit over nothing, really. "Down t'the river?"

REMY! "Mmmhm," he kept walking, not too fast, still holdin her hand. "Got a nice lil boat back here."

ROGUE! "We goin' for a ride?" She asked.

REMY! "I guess," they arrived at the dock, and there was an average sized dinghy tied up to it.

ROGUE! Nata loves the word dinghy. Giving his hand a squeeze, Rogue looked left and right down the river when they got onto the dock. "Looks jus'like my back yard."

REMY! He smiled, pulling at her a little bit, his hand settling on her hip before he nodded toward the boat, "Get on in, babette."

ROGUE! She stole a quick kiss to his cheek before kneeling and stepping into the boat, one foot at a time, grabbing and holding his hand for support. Woo! She made it in without tipping it over.

REMY! He was in right behind her, sitting quickly after he untied the boat, and picked up the ores. "M'glad you came wit me down here, Anna."

ROGUE! "Ah wanted to," she assured him, folding her hands in her lap. She was being oddly quiet...

REMY! Rowing out a little, he'd let the current carry them every so often to rest his arms. He was quiet, too, not really sure how to go about what he wanted to do, but watching her would do for now. "Y'look beautiful this evenin', chere." Cause she diiid.

ROGUE! She'd been looking around when Remy had spoken up, and she turned her eyes back to his with a small smile. "Thanks... Ah thought that while we were down here, may as well wear somethin' that justifies that... Southern Belle name y'all gave me." And now she's rambling, so she shut her mouth.

REMY! "Well, y'are a Southern Belle," he assured her as he looked around to make sure he was still going the right way.

ROGUE! "Only sometimes," she shrugged a bit, glancing away again. "We goin' anywhere particular?"

REMY! "Always," he said as he started to turn the boat some. "Mmmhm. Just a lil while longer." A smile.

ROGUE! She turned to look where they were going, peering about with a smile. She's curious, okay? "Wheeere?"

REMY! Red on black just looked at her like, be patient, damn.

ROGUE! Rogue pouted back at him, fixing her dress a bit. "Ah hate dresses..."

REMY! "Y'look good anyhow."

ROGUE! "S'pose so," she was still fiddling with it as she looked around again.

REMY! He leaned forward some, not much, to kiss her nose, and sat back.

ROGUE! Scrunching up her nose, she pouted her lips a bit before smiling. "Y'all're bein' so quiet."

REMY! He waaas, and that's so weird. Oh look, we're here. He turned the boat a lil more, dragging one ore as the boat came right alongside the new dock. Pulling the ores in, he tied the boat then got out of the boat, turning, to reach fo his woman.

ROGUE! She took his offered help and climbed out, looking around a bit.

REMY! It was a boggy park that he'd brought her to, full of curly willows and other swampy plants. He took her hand again as he started to walk a bit. "Why you so quiet?"

ROGUE! "'Cause you ain't talkin'," she followed him, still just glancing about. "S'gorgeous, here. God, Ah love Mississippi..."

REMY! "Well I ain't talkin' 'cause you ain't, and it's nice out, and, Iunno," he shrugged some, as he stopped to lean on the docks rail, studying their tangled fingers.

ROGUE! "Hmmm?" She watched his eyes, tipping her head to the side a bit. Something was wrong, or at least a little bit weird, and she could just see the gears in his head moving. "What's up, sug?"

REMY! "Hmm?" He looked up to her and kissed her hand, "Nothin'," he smiled. "Why? Somethin' up wit you?"

ROGUE! "Nah, Ah'm fine," she shrugged a bit. "Y'all're just bein' too quiet..."

REMY! "Well y'all's bein' quiet, too," he pointed out, forehead resting on her tummy.

ROGUE! Putting her free hand on the back of his head, Rogue smoothed his hair. "Remy... What's wrong?" She knew that there was something wrong.

REMY! "Nothin'," he looked back up to her, "s'jus nice bein' t'getha, alone, for once."

ROGUE! "It is," she nodded, still running her hands through his hair. She smiled down at him. "Real nice."

REMY! He smiled at her fingers in his hair, "I been thinking...maybe we could take a lil longer vacation..."

ROGUE! "Longer vacation?" She furrowed her eyebrows, shrugging. "Would we be allowed t'stay away f'that?" Rogue and her allowingness. Gosh.

REMY! "I'on't really care," he chuckled some. "Seems like I been doin' that X-Men thang erryday since Ro brought be up there." Let's not talk about Antartica, plz. "Liesure ain't never been a familiar word."

ROGUE! "Ah know, but Ah also know th'world and th'evil that we're tryin' t'fight," on a personal basis, for a lot of it. "We deserve a break, Remy, Ah know that..." Is it really the time, especially when she won't really be able to help them in a bit?

REMY! "I didn't meant forever, chere..."

ROGUE! She nodded, looking away a bit, "What kinda vacation, sugah?"

REMY! "A quite one. Slow. Down here."

ROGUE! A smile lighted her features, "Ah'd like that." Her hands resumed running through his hair.

REMY! He kissed her lil tummy while digging around in his pocket and pulling a small box out. Flipping it open, he pulled his head back some, "Want y't'have this, too."

ROGUE! Eyes wide as they took in the little box and the ring inside, one hand lifted to setlle against her lips while the other ran along the ring. "Remy, it's beautiful..." She really didn't know what else to say or do.

REMY! "S'not an engatement ring or nothin'...but, you know, one o'them promise rings. Like, a pre-engaement ring, really." He explained awkwardly, rubbing at his neck, not really looking at her.

ROGUE! Rogue just nodded, looking up at him. Her smile stretched from ear to ear, pearly whites very much on display. "Remy... Ah'm so... Wow," she offered her hand, because he should really put it on. "Of course Ah'll accept it..."

REMY! He took the lil gold and silver ring out and slipped it on her finger, then kissed her hand, "M'glad."

ROGUE! She bent at her waist a little to give him a proper kiss, settling a hand along the side of his face. This was a better time than any, right? She waited a moment before saying, "Ah got somethin' t'tell ya, too, Sugah. Somethin' Ah shoulda said a long time ago..."

REMY! "Hmm?" He looked up at her as she stood striaght, both his hands settling on her waist now.

ROGUE! Looking down at her stomach, she settled her hands over it and smiled wide. "Ah was nervous and afraid t'tell ya, but now that... Well," she shrugged, looking back up at him. "Ah'm pregnant, Remy..." Say something, please.

REMY! He just, blinked.

ROGUE! And so she just eyedarted, looking a bit guilty. "Say somethin'..."

REMY! "I...," blink. "Mon Dieu..." prolly not what she wanted to hear, but oh well. he brought his hands down, balancing himself so he wouldn't fall back in the water. "You sure?" Shut up, remy.

ROGUE! At the 'mon dieu', Rogue backed up a few steps. She turned a bit, towards the water, and nodded. He was supposed to be happy, not asking isf she was sure! "Ah'm sure..."

REMY! He cringed at her walked away, pushing himself up to follow behind her. He slid his arms around her waist, chin tucked into her neck, "Awright."

ROGUE! She turned her head towards his a little, shrugging some. "It's been two months since Ah found out..."

REMY! "Why'idn't you tell me sooner, Babette. You shouldn'ta been on that mission."

ROGUE! She shook her head, "Ah thought that y'might be mad, or... Somethin', Idunno." Another shrug, "Ah wanted t'be there and help."

REMY! He shook his head, "I love ya, Anna. I couldn't be mad about somethin' like this," his hand drifted to her tummy.

ROGUE! "Y'all didn't really wanna baby," she put her hands over his. "Ah didn't wanna worry ya..."

REMY! "Never said I did or didn't."

ROGUE! "Di'n't seem like ya did..." She moved his hands a bit, directing them to where the baby really was. "Idunno... Ah was just nervous."
REMY! After a minute or two of silence and pondering, he finally spoke again, "I guess we jus'had a lil too much fun after th'weddin', huh?" He grinned a little, kissing her neck some.

ROGUE! Rogue laughed, looking at him with her own grin. "Mmm, we did, didn't we?"

REMY! "You gonna be a good momma," he nodded.

ROGUE! "And y'all an even greater daddy," she agreed, shutting her eyes.

REMY! "Iunno 'bout that."

ROGUE! "'Course y'are," she turned in his arms a bit.

REMY! "Iunno, prolly teach'er t'pick a lock 'fore she can tie'er shoes."

ROGUE! "An important life skill," she said quietly, grinning.

REMY! "Shu'up," he kissed her temple, squeezing at her belly some.

ROGUE! "It is," she shut her eyes at the kiss to her temple, watching the now-dark sky for a moment. "It got dark fast... Should we go back t'the house?"

REMY! He nodded, taking her hand again. "Y'know...I was thinkin' 'bout buyin' it."

ROGUE! "What? Th'house?" She was leading him back to the boat. "It's beautiful, but when'd we come here...?"

REMY! "Mmmhm," he let hismelf be led. "Vacation, and, well...since you all pregnant and stuff..."

ROGUE! "Hmmm?" She looked at him, giving is hand a squeeze before climbing into the boat.

REMY! "Well, you know," he got in after she'd done so safely, untiing the dinghy and picking up the ores again. "Maybe we could move down here."

ROGUE! She just looked at him. "We can't just leave the X-men..."

REMY! "Why not?" He asked, rowing back to where they'd come from.

ROGUE! "'Cause we got obligations up there... And, and, it's m'home..."

REMY! "We can be backup members," he suggested. "Wouldn't it be nice t'stay down here? Don't y'wanna make a home wit me?"

ROGUE! "Of course Ah do," she nodded, hands moving back to rest on her stomach. "It's just..." Idunno.

REMY! "What, babette?" He rowed a little more.

ROGUE! "S'the first home where Ah ever really felt like Ah belonged," she shrugged, looking away a bit.

REMY! "An'we can make a home for us, Anna. You'd belong there, too."

ROGUE! She shrugged, nodding, "Yeah... Ah s'pose."

REMY! He frowned some before sighing, fixing his gaze on some distant tree that looked like the one by the house.

ROGUE! "Ah mean... Of course Ah wanna make a new home with you, with our baby," she looked down a bit. "We just can't... Leave th'X-men like that."

REMY! "You been willin' t'run away with me b'fore. I'm not even askin' you to run away this time." He didn't really look at her.

ROGUE! "When we were gonna run away b'fore, it wasn't for... For as long as this'll be," she would have walked away if they weren't in a boat. "This is kinda permanent, baby..."

REMY! "I'm not askin' you t'leave th'Xmen, Anna. I jus'. If we gonna have this baby, I wanna give it what we didn't really have. Where we should have had it."

ROGUE! She nodded, looking away. "Yer right." Rogue giving in? Wow.

REMY! He was shocked himself. "Th'South's a great place t'grow up, babette. If they need us, they can call. But I'un want nothin' happenin' t'you. Our chirrin (ahaha remy's country ass) should have both they pay'ents."

ROGUE! Rogue looked up at him and offered a half-smile, nodding again. "Ah'm just a lil attached, Ah guess..." Wait, childdren? Woow. :D "Sure y'all can take me moody, pregnant, an' fat on yer own?" It'll be scurreh.

REMY! "Y'wont be fat. Jus' pregnant." He wouldn't comment on the moody thing, because here they were, at home. Tied up the boat, and got out, again, extending his hand for her.

ROGUE! Mumbling a thanks, she got out and shook her head. "Ah'm gettin' bigger, already. Ah though it took 'till the third month, but... Ah'm a bit wider round the middle." And my boobs are swelling.

REMY! He hadn't noticed, yet. 'Y'got a baby in'y'Roguey. Y'sposed t'get bigger," he smiled, walking her back to the house.

ROGUE! "S'just weird..." She's picky about her body, so she knew right away. "Ain't really been bigger than how y'all knew me." She's rambling because she's still a bit freaked out.

REMY! "I'on't really care how big y'are."

ROGUE! A shrug. "S'pose so," she took off her hat when they got to the porch, and hung it on the handrail.

REMY! "What'cha want f'dinner," he opened the screen door, turning the light on. They hadn't just talked about her being pregnant, and him wanting them to move away, nope.

ROGUE! "Somethin' spicy. An' pickles," she said, following him inside. They were the image of a perfect family, now weren't they?
