A New Beginning Ch. 07-08

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rogue gasped as she bumped into a hard body. "I'm sorry!" Rogue apologized as she bent down to help the young man pick up the papers he'd been carrying.

"It's my fault," he said with a strange smile. "I've been meaning to bump into you," he added. Rogue took a closer look at his face and gasped.

"Griffin?" she asked softly. He nodded. "My brothers will kill you for what you did to Raven," Rogue warned.

"I need help," Griffin said, his eyes dark, as if he were struggling to keep something at bay.

"Let's go into Gambit," he added.

"Are you kidding me? My sister in law owns Gambit and Cole hangs out there a lot when he isn't working," Rogue told him.

"Then how about the coffee shop next to it," Griffin suggested. Rogue nodded, picked up her discarded book bag and followed Griffin to the coffee shop.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Where did you and Beth go today?" Xavier wanted to know after Raven had gotten Jenny settled down for the night.

"To talk to Doctor Lewis," Raven said after a moment's hesitation.

"What's wrong?" Xavier asked, instantly concerned and alert. "Does this have anything to do with Griffin?" he wanted to know.

"It has nothing to do with Griffin or what he did to me. It has everything to do with us and our family," Raven told him.

"What's wrong?" Xavier asked again.

"Nothing's wrong," Raven insisted.

"Then why would you need to talk to Doctor Lewis?" Xavier wanted to know. Raven took a deep breathe and let it out. "Rave?" Xavier was growing impatient.

"We're having a baby," Raven announced.

CHAPTER EIGHT

-3 weeks later-

"What's going on Rogue?" Beth wanted to know.

"I need some help Beth and you absolutely can not tell any of my brothers," Rogue spun a strand of hair around her finger nervously as she waited for her sister in law to follow her to her mustang coupe.

"What in the world are you into that you don't want your brothers to know?" Beth asked as Rogue sped out of the parking lot.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Beth exclaimed when she saw Griffin sitting on Rogue's couch.

"He needs help Beth!" Rogue stood in front of the front door.

"Unless you give me one good reason not to, I'm calling the police and then I'm calling Cole and Xavier," Beth threatened.

"I've known Griffin for years! That's how Xavier met Tara! The four of us always hung out together. What he did to Raven, despite being angry about Tara's death, that wasn't Griffin. There has to be something wrong with him!" Rogue told Beth. There was an urgency in her voice that made Beth nervous. "Please Beth, just try to help," she pleaded. Beth sighed.

"I can check and see if a spell has been placed on him, but I'll need help from another witch, and quite frankly, I won't ask Raven and Mage will likely try to kill him," Beth said.

"What about Parker?" Rogue asked. Beth sighed again, pulled out her cell phone and dialed Parker's number.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Where did you go tonight?" Cole asked when Beth slid into bed next to him.

"Rogue needed help figuring out what to wear on a date. She wanted to really impress him," Beth lied.

"Is he good enough for my sister?" Cole wanted to know.

"That is to be determined," Beth said with a shrug.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Do you think Beth will keep all of this to herself?" Griffin asked Rogue.

"I hope so," Rogue murmured.

"Xavier and Cole will never forgive me for what I did to Raven. Hell, I don't even forgive myself for it," Griffin muttered. Rogue placed her hand on his cheek.

"Listen to me Griffin. What you did was beyond your control. It doesn't change how I feel about you," Rogue said softly.

"Rogue, we've only been dating for three weeks," Griffin reminded her.

"I've been in love with you since I was fifteen," Rogue murmured. Griffin rolled his eyes.

"Fifteen is too young to know what love is," Griffin scoffed.

"I have been in love with you since I was fifteen!" Before Griffin could say anything else, Rogue pressed her lips to his as her fingers quickly undid the button of his jeans.

"Rogue," Griffin warned, pulling his lips away from hers.

"Don't think," Rogue murmured, kissing him again as she undid the zipper. Griffin groaned as she slid her hands under his pants and boxers and fondled his cock.

"Rogue, I won't be able to control myself if you keep doing that," Griffin pushed her away again. Rogue pouted, stood up and just when Griffin thought she was going to leave him alone, she pulled her shirt over her head and pushed her skirt and panties down her legs, let them drop to the floor. "Rogue," Griffin warned again. His cock was sticking out of the top of his jeans and hardened more at the sight of her standing before him, wearing nothing but the necklace around her neck.

"Stop thinking and make love to me," Rogue whispered, her eyes wide, showing him just how far aroused she was. Griffin swallowed hard, knowing he should say no, that he should fix his clothes and leave. Rogue stepped up to him and rubbed up against him before climbing into his lap. The tip of his cock brushed against the dampness of her pussy causing Griffin to harden more. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. "I need you Grif," Rogue murmured, nibbling on his earlobe as she pushed at his pants.

"Rogue, there will be no turning back," Griffin warned.

"I know," Rogue whispered. Griffin pushed Rogue off of his lap, stood up and yanked his jeans and boxers down his legs. As he stepped out of them, Griffin reached for Rogue and carried her into the bedroom.

"You're beautiful," Griffin told her, kissing her hard. Rogue whimpered and arched into him as she silently pleaded with him to let her feel his body. Griffin grinned against her mouth when he felt her hand wrap around him, her thumb brushed against the spines.

"I hate how some of the were traits follow us into human form," Rogue murmured. Griffin gently pulled her hand away from his cock and positioned himself so that he was directly above her; his cock. "Griffin, please," Rogue whispered.

"I mean it Rogue, there's no going back after this," Griffin warned.

"I know," Rogue murmured. She lifted her hips slightly off of the bed. "I need you Griffin," Rogue whispered.

"No, you don't," Griffin said sadly as he pushed her hips back onto the bed before he surged into her. Rogue gasped loudly and tears came to her eyes when he pushed past her hymen. Griffin swore under his breath. "Why didn't you tell me?" Griffin wanted to know.

"Because I wanted you to make love to me," Rogue whispered, shifting slightly under him.

"I'm hurting you," Griffin stated, starting to pull out from her.

"You aren't!" Rogue wrapped her legs around him and held him firm against her. Griffin groaned and began thrusting in and out of her gently, hoping the spines wouldn't cause too much pain. When Rogue moaned and began meeting him thrust for thrust, Griffin quickened the pace as he leaned down to suck on her breasts. Rogue moaned again as the sensations rushed through her.

"Harder!" Rogue cried, digging her hands into his hair. Griffin growled as he pounded into her, harder, and faster with every thrust. The mixture of pleasure and pain that coursed through her caused Rogue to shift to her hybrid form and Griffin pulled out of her causing her to growl unhappily until Griffin turned her around.

"Get on your hands and knees," Griffin instructed, his voice gruff. Raven slid onto her hands and knees. Griffin's fingers brushed her sensitive pussy as he lifted her ass higher into the air, making her whimper. She gasped as he began to fill her again, his cock brushed places he couldn't reach from missionary and Rogue moaned loudly. Her body stilled as she felt him shift, his cock growing wider and longer within her. Her pussy stretched, not painlessly to accommodate him.

"Griffin!" Rogue whimpered. He let out a sound that reminded Rogue of both a purr and a growl as he began thrusting hard and fast into her, his hand/paws on her hips, helping her to thrust with him. She let out a startled cry as the head of his cock mashed against her g-spot over and over again, sending pleasure through her.

"You said to stop thinking, so let go," Griffin commanded as he slid one of his hands up to cup her breast. As he tweaked the alright hard nipple with his thumb and index finger, he pounded his cock into her. Rogue pushed against him, eager for more and screamed loudly as she came. Her orgasm sparked his and with a loud roar, his seed spewed within her. Rogue's knees went out from under and she collapsed onto the bed; Griffin carefully lowered himself on top of her, not wanting to leave her warmth. Despite the fact that he had just cum within her, he was still painfully hard. Griffin pulled out of her, turned Rogue over and slid inside her again making her hiss and moan in both pain and pleasure.

"I love you!" Rogue cried out as she came again. Her hair was soaked and plastered to her face as he brought her to orgasm for the third time in an hour and a half. His cock quivered with in her as his seed rushed from him and into her. Finally sated, Griffin pulled out of her and lay beside her on the bed.

"I love you too Rogue," Griffin said. She reached for his hand as sleep over took her. Griffin pulled a blanket over her then walked into the bathroom to clean up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Damn girl, what the hell is your problem tonight?" Mage asked Beth, ducking when the glass that had been in Beth's hand connected with the wall.

"The kids are coming into their powers," Beth said through gritted teeth. Mage's eyes widened.

"So soon?" Mage asked. Beth nodded. "What have they done?" Mage wanted to know. Before Beth could answer, a ceramic plate floated off of the counter and into the air before hitting the wall at nearly the exact same spot as the glass had.

"The girls are worse than the boys," Beth said with a sigh.

"I bet," Mage snorted as Cole came down the stairs with Marissa in his arms.

"This is the only one still awake," Cole told Beth.

"We'll need to bind their powers until they can control them," Mage said softly.

"I know," Beth murmured with a sigh.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

-Months later-

Beth watched Rogue as she sat nervously at the table talking to Sydney and Rachel while their parents entertained their guests. "This is some party," Raven commented.

"Thanks. I'm glad everyone is enjoying the food," Beth murmured.

"What's up with Rogue?" Xavier asked from behind Raven. Jenny yawned and laid her head on Xavier's shoulder, making Beth smile.

"Who knows. She's nineteen, probably some guy," Beth answered. She gave Raven a grin. "You look great," she added.

"She isn't old enough to be dating," Xavier growled.

"Oh please," Raven snorted. Beth giggled before she pulled Raven away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Rogue." Rogue jumped and turned around to see her mother walking towards her.

"Hi mom. Happy anniversary," Rogue said with a smile.

"Where did you meet him and how long have you been seeing him?" Marie wanted to know.

"What?" Rogue asked.

"You have a different smell about you. Your father mentioned it earlier. I chalked it up to you using a new body wash or perfume, but I know you're dating someone. I can smell him on you. Who is he?" Marie asked.

"He's just a guy I met in classes. Please don't push this now," Rogue pleaded. Marie nodded slowly.

"Alright Rogue, I'll keep this to myself for now, but we will want to meet this young man," Marie said. Rogue gave her mom a tight hug.

"Thanks mom. I love you," Rogue said softly.

"I love you too baby. Go, have fun," Marie told Rogue with an amused smile on her face.

"How was the party?" Griffin asked when Rogue returned home later that evening.

"It was nice. The food was great and the kids are getting huge," Rogue said with a smile.

"Any problems?" Griffin wanted to know.

"Dad smelled the change and mom asked me about who I was seeing and how long I've been seeing you," Rogue answered.

"What did you say?" Griffin asked, suddenly on guard.

"Not to push it. I have to find a way to convince Xavier and my father that you aren't a threat," Rogue told him.

"But you will tell them?" Griffin inquired.

"Yes, I will tell them," Rogue promised. Griffin smiled, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her hard.

"Good," Griffin growled. Rogue returned the kiss and began unbuttoning his shirt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh Raven, look at this!" Mage squealed, holding up a stuffed yellow duck. Raven smiled and took it from her cousin.

"It's soo soft," Raven murmured.

"Do you know if you're having one or multiples?" Beth asked.

"Doctor Lewis said there were only two heart beats which I can handle. Two at once beats four at once," Raven answered. Beth nodded.

"No doubt there," Beth agreed. "How much longer do you have to go?" she wanted to know.

"Three and a half months," Raven answered. "But Doctor Lewis told us that I will probably go into labor sooner than my due date," she added. Beth nodded again and picked up a green receiving blanket and handed it to Raven.

As the girls left the mall, a strong wind rushed the parking lot, sending blast after blast of cold air swirling around them. "What the hell?" Raven asked, glancing from Beth to Mage. The girls came to a complete stop when a a tall, goulish figure sailed down in front of them.

"What are you?" Mage demanded to know.

"The person that causes your death." He shot at them with some kind of gun; Beth pushed Raven out of the way as she muttered a spell under her breath, formed a protective circle around Raven before turning to face their attacker.

"I don't think so," Beth said, her voice even, calm, with a hint of unmistakable anger. She and Mage linked arms and chanted loudly. With a roar of fury, their attacker vanished into thin air.

"Raven, are you okay?" Mage asked as the girls turned their attention back to her. Raven nodded and turned to Beth.

"The next time you direct my attention away from a battle, I'll take you down," Raven growled.
