The rest of the week flew by and before she knew it, Rogue was standing in Kitty's room putting on her shoes. Kitty was a rollercoaster of emotions, one minute she was her usual bubbly self, the next she was having a panic attack wondering if Piotr would change his mind, then the next she was about to cry because she was so happy. Rogue giggled to herself as she looked over at Kitty and briefly wondered if she would want to get married. Rogue and Remy would be together forever, there was no doubt of that in her mind but they had never talked about marriage.
Kitty had calmed down and stepped off of the emotional rollercoaster just as they started to walk downstairs. Rogue paused and looked out the window; the outdoor wedding looked beautiful. Chairs were filled with friends and family, mutant and human alike, sitting either side of the gazebo in which Piotr stood looking nervously at his brother. Mikhail spoke a few words to him in Russian and they shared a hug; Piotr broke away with a huge smile stretched over his face.
Once Rogue caught up with the rest of the bridal party it was time for her to walk down the aisle. Rogue took a deep breath as the orchestra began to play and stepped out of the doors and walked down the white carpet towards the gazebo.
Remy turned with the rest of the crowd when the music began to play and saw Rogue walking down the aisle wearing a floor length light yellow strapless dress with a pink empire waist ribbon. He couldn't take his eyes off her; she looked stunning in her dress with her hair naturally curly and blowing in the light breeze. Her white streak matched the white rose bouquet and the white roses strung into the gazebo perfectly.
As she made it half way down the aisle Illyana came down after her but Remy's eyes were glued to the love of his life. Illyana wore the same dress as Rogue only it was halter style instead of strapless. Illyana looked at her brothers standing at the gazebo and couldn't wait to welcome her new sister into the family. She knew Piotr loved Kitty fully with every fiber of his body just as Kitty did.
Next down the aisle was Jubilee wearing the same dress as the other bridesmaids only her dress was one shade brighter with off the shoulder short sleeves. Some people found it strange to see Jubilee not chewing on some bubble gum. Others, who looked close enough, could see the way Bobby and Jubilee looked at each other.
As Jubilee stood next to Illyana and across from Bobby, just next to the steps of the gazebo, the music changed. Kitty came down the aisle on her father's arm. She looked like Cinderella in her beautiful white ball gown and felt every bit like the princess she was. Kitty concentrated on keeping her tears of joy at bay, from the moment her father gave her away to the moment they were pronounced man and wife and kissed as Piotr crushed the glass under the cloth.
As the crowd cheered for Mr. and Mrs. Rasputin when they kissed, Rogue felt a feeling of love and warmth bubble and stir inside her and she knew the answer to her question. The second Remy asks her to marry him, whenever that would be - if ever, she would accept. She loved him without a grain of doubt. At the same time that Rogue had come to a decision, Remy was thankful that he bought the engagement ring that screamed out Rogue's name all those weeks ago. He was even more thankful that he packed in his bags for this trip.
The reception came to an end and all the guests wished good luck to Piotr and Kitty as they made their way to their honeymoon. Remy clasped his hand around Rogue's and led her up to their room. They were leaving in two days and he knew that he was going to busy, he had a phone call to make, Logan to talk to and a dinner to prepare.
Remy kissed Rogue before he ran a bubble bath for her, which she gratefully accepted; any other time he would have joined her but not tonight. He kissed her once more as she engorged herself in bubbles and made his way outside.
Once outside, he pulled out his cell phone and French cigarettes; he lit the tip of his cigarette with a light charge from his finger and took a deep puff. He hit the speed dial for his cousin Etienne and began to speak in French. He had organized for Etienne to keep an eye on his apartment and sent him a list of things to send to the mansion.
He hung up sending his love to the family and stubbed out his addiction. He turned into the garage and loosened his tie, he found Logan sitting on a stool in front of his Harley, just as he hoped. He and Logan were not what you would call close friends but they were friends none the less. They had similar interests and were the only two at the mansion who could hold their liquor (according to them) and had enjoyed quite a few beers together after they had sparred in the danger room.
Remy wasn't sure what Logan's answer would be but he knew he had to ask. Logan had already offered him a place on the team after their first danger room session but this was a little bit bigger than being an X-Man and saving the world. He swallowed the small amount of nervousness he had and approached Logan warily. Logan inclined his head in acknowledgement but before Remy could open his mouth Logan cut him off.
"Not bad for a Cajun, not bad at all, bub."
Logan extended his hand as a peace offering this time with his claws sheathed; Remy gladly shook his head a smiled a genuine smile without a trace of his usual cocky attitude. He settled onto the stool next to Logan for what he knew would be a long talk.
