“Aww, don’t worry so baby, you can call him and write to him from Africa.” Kimyra said from her seat beside Ororo, who sat in the window seat, staring out longingly at the clouds.

“I just would have liked to have said my goodbyes face to face, I shall miss him.”

“Goddess chile it will only be for a couple of months. Once you're back on your old stomping ground you’ll forget all about what’s his name.” Kimyra said jokingly and her body shook with chuckles. “You shall see.”

“I seriously doubt it.” Ororo mumbled as she let her forehead rest against the window.




“What tha hell are ya gawkin at?” Logan asked Jubilee and Forge in a near growl as he walked into the door, returning with Gambit from a recovery mission in Virginia, where they picked up a new ‘gifted’ student.

“Whoa, someone’s grumpy, so our news probably won’t make a difference.” Jubliee mumble in vain since Logan could hear her.

“What news?” Logan grumbled as he stopped eyeing the two before him, with Gambit standing just behind him.

“Tell him.” Jubilee said to Forge.

“I aint telling him, he’s your friend.”

“No, he’s Ro’s boyfriend, so technically we’re acquainted by association.”

“Where is Ro?” Logan asked as he looked about them, as if hoping to spot her somewhere in the room.

“Ro? Do you mean Ororo or…Rogue?” Jubilee asked bunching her brow as if confused and was rewarded with a growl from Logan as he leaned in and glared hard at her. “Ohhh, you mean Ororo, your girlfriend. Of course I mean why would you ask about Rogue?” She added with a weak giggle.

*SNIKT!*

“Dang, why you always have to get all feral when you don’t get your way?” Jubilee asked a now seriously annoyed Logan.

“I’m only gonna asked one more time Jubilation Lee, then I’ll have ta give you the same thing I gave Jean.” At this news Jubilee grabbed a hand full of her hair and simply stared at Logan with wide eyes.

“I’m not saying anything until you put those things away.” Logan instantly retracted the blades. “Can you like take them out?”

“Jubilee,” He snarled.

“Fine, ok here’s what happened,” Jubilee began by taking a deep breathe.

“TheProfessorcalledOroro’sauntKimyrafromAfrica," She took a quick breath and then continued. "Andshecame, andtookOrorohomefortheentiresummer.”

Logan, Forge and Gambit all looked at her strangely, and then Logan lifted his nose a bit and sniffed the air. He caught a faint scent that was all Ororo’s but it wasn’t as strong as it usually was, which told him she wasn’t in the house. He suddenly threw his head back and roared, scaring every student in the surrounding area, he then turned and marched towards the Professor’s office.




“Ya can’t hold me like this forever,” He said growl from his position, launched in the air, which is how the Professor stilled him as he readied to pounce.

“Actually I could but I was hoping you’d calm down a bit so we could talk this out.”

“There aint nothing to talk out, you set me up so you could get Ro away from me, ya son-of-a-bitch.” Logan snarled. “I should’ve known something was up wit that bogus mission you sent me on, tha one ya claimed needed my dire attention. It was just ta get me away and keep me away long enough ta get Ro out.”

“I think it will be for the best, for you two to be separated for awhile…”

“Who tha hell are you ta decide that? What have Ro and I done that’s been so bad? Is it because ya think of Ro like your own daughter and I’m the bad boy who popped her cherry? Jus so ya know I’ve made love ta Ororo, slowly and sweetly, I aint about a wham bam wit her. Hell most times we just lay tagether talking and shit, until we fall asleep in each other’s arms, wit our clothes on. So it aint about sex if’n that’s what yer afraid of.”

“That is not what concerns me Logan.”

“Then what?”

“It’s the rage inside of you, that berserker rage. You can’t even control it when it takes over, what if…” The Professor paused not wanting the thought to fill his head.

“What if what?” Logan insisted.

“What if she does something to upset you, would you do to her what I’ve witness you doing in the danger room, when you go there to let off steam? What if she decides one day that she no longer wants to be with you forever, would you let her go?”

“Chuck you have seen Ro’s powers right, nobody’s gotta let or make her do anything she don’t wanna,” Logan said not even noticing that the Professor had released him from his stasis. “What I feel for Ro it aint about control or dominance, it’s about love. I love her, plain and simple, and for some ungodly reason she loves me too. So why do you want to deprive us of that. Why can’t we have it for however long it may last?” Logan asked his eyes softened and pleading, stunning the Professor with their sincerity.

“Go pack Logan,” The Professor said sighing heavily and hanging his head a bit in defeat. “I’m sending you on a mission…to Africa.”




Oromo, Kenya:

"Jambo, Ororo!” Rena greeted happily, as she ran to embrace her cousin.

“Hello, Rena” Ororo replied, smiling hugely as she clung to her cousin and once best friend. “How have you been?”

“Very well, and you…look at you.” Rena held out Ororo’s arms and glanced at her, causing Ororo to blush a bit and hang her head. “Even more beautiful than before you left us.”

“I was thinking the same of you,” Ororo said with a smile which ended with a gasp, as she now stared with wide eyes at Rena’s swollen belly. “Rena?” She said reaching out and placing her hand against the mound, invoking a giggle from Rena, which caused her belly to bounce up and down.

“Yes, five months along now,” Rena said with pride answering the question she knew was on Ororo’s mind. “Tumbo and my first child.”

“Tumbo?” Ororo repeated frowning at the familiar name she couldn’t place.

“Yes my husband, I cannot believe you do not remember Tumbo, you had the biggest crush on him before you left for America.” Rena stated with a nervous giggle, hoping that Ororo wouldn’t be mad at her for marrying Tumbo.

“Oh,” Ororo said still in shock over the fact that her sixteen year old cousin was married with a child on the way. “Congratulation on both your marriage and impending birth.”

“Thank you.” Rena said as she really looked Ororo over. “And what about you anyone special?” At the question a huge smile crossed Ororo’s face, as thoughts of Logan flooded her mind. “Ahhh, so you do. Come you must tell me all about him as we get you settled in.” Rena said as she hooked arms with Ororo and they walked to the hut Ororo was to share with her Aunt.




“Step back through please.” The customs officer ordered and Logan did as he was told.

BEEP!

“Damn thing must be broken I’ve patted him down three times already he’s clean, but the detector keeps going off.” The customs officer told his supervisor.

“Well let him go and get maintenance down here to fix it.” The supervisor said.

“You’re free to go young man.” With that Logan headed off to broad the plane, not really looking forward to the long flight, but happy to be on it.




“So what was it like, the ‘first time’?” Rena asked as she and Ororo lay across her makeshift bed, where they had been for several hours just talking.

“Messy.” Ororo answered with a sour look on her face. “And very painful, at first but after I adjust to Logan’s size, it,” She paused looking up as if in search of the words. “Rena it was like nothing I have ever felt in my life, it was amazing and incredible and I never wanted it to end. Logan made it so special, he was so loving and tender he made it about me, my needs before his own. I do not ever recall feeling so loved.”

“That sounds so romantic.” Rena sighed.

“Well you know, I mean you are with child.”

“True but that does not mean it was romantic or pleasant. Tumbo is like most of the men here, thinking that a woman is only here to cater to their needs, even sexually and that it is all about them.” Ororo’s heart went out to her cousin and she silently thanked the Goddess for getting her out of the situation, for if she had stayed in the tribe as she had wanted to at first, she would no doubt be married to Tumbo herself. She shuddered at the thought. “You must be tired from your long flight,” Rena stated as she moved to get up, Ororo instantly moved to help her up. “I shall let you rest and see you in the morning, ok?” Ororo simply nodded her head.

“Habari za usiku, Rena.” Ororo said embracing her cousin once more.

“Good night Ororo.” Rena replied before breaking the hug and leaving.




Jambo-> Hello
Habari za usiku->Goodnight
