[for Rogue]
Nearly five years and countless disappearances later, and one thing still held true for Jamie Madrox: Rogue was the best and closest friend he’d made on the Island.
(Layla, of course, was in a league all on her own.)
So when he needed someone to talk to who wasn’t a voice in his head, Rogue was at the top of Jamie’s list. Weeks later and he was still wrestling with his and Layla’s decision to start trying for kids — or, at least, to stop actively avoiding having kids. He needed an outsider’s perspective, someone without any stake in the matter to give him some reassurance that they weren’t being extraordinarily stupid.
He knocked on the door of her hut, and called out, “Anybody home?”

"Well, the one that matters now is his. This place knocks the wind outta ya on a good day. He's dealing with a lot. Be nice, if you see him. Not weird-nice, I know y'all two weren't exactly pals, but. He doesn't need to know about-" She sighed, and gestured at herself.
"All this."

And that hurt, too, as much as anything. Maybe more than.
"So 'm sure this is screwing with his head something awful, as bad as it is mine. Go easy."

"All right, fine," he allowed. "I'll be nice. But if you change your mind..."

"Thanks, Jamie."

"Now c'mon. Go saddle up England. Pizza awaits."
