Summary
“Ah’m not leavin’ ‘im-!” she started, though jumped when a loud piercing squeal sounded behind her. She pivoted, mouth agape as she watched Beast begin pushing another hospital bed into the spacious cell. Where he got it and so fast, she couldn’t fathom.
With a soft smile, he maneuvered the cot beside Gambit’s, then adjusted a few of the machine’s monitoring his various vitals. “As you shouldn’t. However, you cannot help our Acadian friend with a sleepless mind.”
As Rogue’s eyes shifted between the blue furball and the cot, Beast couldn’t help himself and chuckled at her dumbfounded expression. “Ororo believed you would wish to stay with him. She insisted I bring an extra bed.”

Summary
The pain was buried so deep it hindered his breathing, sent electricity through his ribs. When he pulled his hand away, he expected the familiar red of fresh blood to coat his finger. But they were dry.
With slow, deliberate movements, he rose to his feet.
Around him was his family. That was the first thing he noted. His heart squeezed. He missed them so much, but couldn’t place why. They hadn’t seemed to notice him yet, their eyes fixed on a central point in the group.
He followed their gaze and the ice clawing at his heart melted in an instant. The most beautiful woman he’d ever laid eyes on stood central to them all.
