Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters. But Cole and Willow are mine oh and the Mom. I am not getting paid for writing this story, so please don't sue. Thank you and enjoy.
Author's Note: I hope you enjoyed it and thanks for reading. Oh and the song that Logan sings is called, I'll Never Let You Go (Little Darlin'). And it was written by J.Wakely and sung by Elvis Presley.
Logan was sitting in the living room of the mansion with a beer in one hand, enjoying a hockey game that was on TV. The doorbell rang, but nobody went to get it.
"Sheesh. Am I the only one that can get the door?" complained Logan.
Logan opened the door to find that no one was standing there but he could smell them. Logan looked down. There on the front steps was a basket. He bent down to see what it was.
"Holy shit," said Logan, as he looked straight into two pairs of blue and gray eyes. He then looked at a note that was attached to the basket.
Logan picked it up and read it.
I'm sorry to do this but I have to. It's the only way that they will be able to live. I know that you will take good care of them. I love them so much, but their lives and mine are in danger. They will grow up to be mutants; they are 6 months old and are twin brother and sister. Their names are Cole and Willow. Please take care of them. Thank you.
Logan looked down at the babies.
"Poor things."
He picked up the basket and took it into the house.
In the distance, a women stood alone. "Goodbye my sweeties, take care of each other. I love you both." With that, the women turned around, never to see her children again.
Logan went up to see if Jean was in her room. "Shit she's not there." Then he turned to go to his room, taking the babies with him. After a while, both babies were asleep. Logan was getting hungry. He decided to go down to the kitchen to get something to eat just as the x-women came into the house.
All the X-women were putting their things away when Logan came into the kitchen. Logan saw the women and did the unthinkable. He ran and skidded on his knees and wrapped his arms around Jean's legs.
"Logan are you mad? Let go of me," said Jean.
"Sorry Jeannie." He looked around and gave Jean, Storm, Rogue and Jubilee a hug. "Ladies, women, you know I love y'all, but where the flamin' hell have ya been?" said Logan.
"Uh-oh," said Rogue.
"Yeah he's lost it," said Jubilee.
"No I haven't lost it," said Logan.
"Logan, calm down please," said Storm.
"Ok but. . . I . . . Oh forget it. Just follow me, but be quiet," said Logan, leading the women to his room.
When they reached Logan's room he turned around. "Now be careful and don't make a lot of noise." Then, they all walked in to see the babies sleeping in a basket on Logans bed.
"Awww," said Rogue.
"They're so cute," said Jubilee.
"Logan, where did you get these babies?" asked Storm. Jean nodded her head, agreeing with Storm.
"I found them on the front step o' the mansion," said Logan, handing the note that had been attached to the basket to Jean to read.
Jean read the note. "Oh poor things. They are in danger; they're going to become mutants. They're also twin brother and sister; and, their names are Cole and Willow," said Jean, looking up at the other women. "Well, we should go get some things that they will need from the baby store."
The other women agreed and got ready to go to the store.
"Logan you will stay with them?" said Jean.
"What? Why? Hello, these are 2 babies," complained Logan.
"Well, for one, they already took a liking to you. And, second, it will give you something to do. It would be good for you," said Jean, leaving Logan with the babies.
3 hours later, the whole mansion had heard about the babies and had gone to visit them in Logan's room. The women and some of the men had set up everything in his room for the babies.
"Well people, it's been a long day. And, it's 12 at night and we all need some sleep so every one go to sleep," said Scott.
With that, everyone went to sleep. . . until about 3 in the morning when everyone was woken by the babies crying in Logan's room. Everyone was standing outside of Logan's room considering going in to see what was wrong.
In Logans room, Logan was trying to make the babies fall asleep. "What? What's wrong? I fed you both, changed you both, and burped you both. What's wrong?" said Logan. Then all of a sudden Logan got the weirdest idea.
Back in the hallway everyone was whispering to each other when Scott and Jean arrived in front of Logan's door.
"We've got to make them stop crying," said one of the students.
"Yeah," complained another.
"Oh, I'll see what I can do," said Jean, reaching for the door. Suddenly, she stopped.
"What? What's wrong?" asked Scott.
"Shhh. Listen," said Jean to everyone in the hallway.
"I'll never let you go, little darlin'.
I'm so sorry 'cause I made you cry.
I'll never let you go, "cause I love you.
So please don't ever say good-bye."
"Wow, is that Logan singing?" asked Jubilee.
"He's not bad at singing," said Rogue.
"Shh, be quiet," said Jean.
"The stars would tumble down beside me,
The moon would hang its head and cry.
My arms would never hold another baby doll
If we should ever say good-bye."
"Looks like Logan found fatherhood. Come on everyone, let's get to bed," said Jean to everyone. With that, everyone was off to go to their own rooms, listening to Logan sing the babies to sleep.
"Well, I'll never let you go,
Because I love you, pretty baby.
I'm sorry 'cause I made you cry.
I made you cry.
Yeah, I'll never let you go,
'Cause I love you, little baby.
So please don't ever say good-bye."
By the time that Logan was finished singing the song, everyone was asleep, including the babies.
Back in Logan's room, he laid the sleeping babies in their cribs and said, "sweet dreams my darlin's."
