It wasn't supposed to be this complicated. It was just to be a one night thing apparently. Just to celebrate how well his gig had gone. To celebrate him making it to the road of success. There was never supposed any kind of repercussion. Most of all, not one to this magnitude.
Fear coursed through every nerve in Mimi's body, most of all in her stomach.
"No no no." The brunette chanted staring at her barely clothed body. Her hands were hovering over her stomach. Her stomach that was beginning to show an undeniable bump.
Tears began to sting her eyes as her hands jerked away from the bulge.
It had just been a stupid mistake! This was never supposed to happen! She hadn't even seen him since then! The way he treated her the morning after…she couldn't stay after that. Now this…
So much for the date she was going to go on. At least she wasn't at home where everything (and everyone) could find out. She was safely tucked into the skies and freedoms of America.
"What am I supposed to do now?" Here just when she was finally ready to let go of the man of her dreams/nightmares and he finds one last way to keep her. He wasn't even aware he was doing it, but he was. Now he had a forever hold on her, due to their unborn child growing inside her.
As unexpected and bad as it was, she was glad she had this baby. It was the exact thing she needed, seeing as she couldn't see any of her friends now.
"Meet your mommy." The doctor, who had just finished delivering Mimi's baby, was handing the baby boy to her.
"My baby." Mimi breathed as she took the baby blue bundle from the balding man.
After 10 hours of grueling labor and yelling at all the staff, her baby was finally here.
Inside the blanket was a tiny dirty blonde haired baby boy. He was most beautiful thing she has ever seen and she had seen lots of beautiful things.
"Oh my." She wiped the sweat off her face with her shoulder, never shuffling the baby. Even though he was wide awake and crying.
"His name?" The nurse who had stood beside her during the delivery asked.
"Name?" Oh yeah! "Jared." She didn't know where she had heard it, but she had liked the name.
"Wonderful." The nurse smiled and charted the name.
"Hello little man." Mimi beamed down at the crying boy, "Nice to finally meet you. I'm your momma."
He was perfection in the form of a human. And he was all hers.
"Come home."
"No Daddy. I've made a new life here."
"No, you've made a mess there. I've got an apartment set up for you. Its close to home, but far enough for you to feel free." Mimi's father was arguing with her over coming home.
"You really don't want me to Daddy. A lot of things have changed." Like the fact she now had a child, for instance.
"Are you still Mimi?"
"Yes." Mimi admitted with a sigh.
"Are you still crazy and die your hair different colors of the rainbow?" He pressed.
"Sometimes."
"Are you still my little girl?"
"Yes, Daddy." Dang. He won. "When is my plane? Don't act like you haven't already charted the flight and all."
"In three days. Pack what you need and come. I'll send someone to get the rest of it once your home." Her father continued.
"But I-"
"No buts. I mean it. I'll see you when you're home."
That was how she got here. By a phone call one afternoon from her adoring and pushy father. That's why she is standing in the middle of her father's foyer right now with Jared resting on her hip. She was trying to figure out how to tell this to her father. 'Daddy, I missed but I had a had a kid.'? 'Dad, met your grandson.'? 'Hey, Daddy, this is Jared…your grandson.'? She'll just have to wing it.
Her ears picked up the sound of her father's heavy footsteps coming up the hall.
"Is that my baby girl?" The steps quickened and Mimi's heart lodged itself in her throat.
"Daddy?" She called, readjusting Jared.
A shadow came out of the hall, her father following, "Honey I-" He paused for a second, the joy in his eyes fading, "Mimi?"
Okay so her hair wasn't pink, blue, yellow, or red. It was her natural chestnut brown with platinum blonde highlights streaming through it and it hung down to the middle of her back in loose curls. She had managed to get back the natural form of her body after she had Jared, luckily the fat just melted away. Everything except her hair was the same…well Jared was a new thing as well.
"Hi Daddy." She smiled.
Her father didn't answer, his eyes were fixed on Jared.
Mimi sucked in a deep breath and began to explain, "Daddy, meet Jared," She rubbed her nose against Jared's, "your grandson."
"Grandson?" Yes, he sounded totally flabbergasted.
Mimi just nodded.
Trying to lessen the awkwardness, Mimi's father extended out his arms to take the child. After a minute, Mimi gave Jared over. The large man studied the tiny blonde boy carefully. His grandson? Where did this blonde hair come from anyway?
"How did-"
"Doesn't matter. He is my entire life now." Mimi stroked one of Jared blonde curls.
Jared's eyes focused hard on the large man that was holding him. Mimi was waiting for him to start crying, he only liked being held whenever she was holding him. Instead, he just stayed focused on the man's face. Then it happened. Jared's face contorted and he turned to find her, tears welling in his large blue eyes.
"Daddy, here." Mimi extended out her arms to take her son back. "He really doesn't like being held by anyone else."
"Oh right. Um. I think we-"
"I know we need to talk, but right now I just wanna settle into my new apartment. Jared needs to take a nap."
"I know, I just-I missed you so much and-" Before her father could finish there was a sound of laughter echoing through the house.
"What?" She braced Jared and twisted around to find the source.
Suddenly, several voices shouted out, "WELCOME HOME!" at her.
All throughout the room her friends, most of which she'd known since childhood, popped out from behind furniture and corners.
Mimi's mouth fell open as more and more of her friends jumped out. They'd heard everything?
Just as her father reacted, their smiles faded and their became fixed on Jared, who was terrified and clinging to Mimi.
There was Sora, her best friend for the entirety of her life, standing behind a large deep red sofa. Tai, who had finally learned how to cut and brush his hair, was next to her. Joe, who looked just the same as always, was standing next to the hall corner. Kairi and TK, looking adorable as ever but even taller, came out of the closet. Izzy, wearing a dark colored suit and well kept hair, came out of the stairwell door. Then there was him. Mr. Too-busy-trying-to-be-a-rock-star-to-care-about-his-friend's-feelings himself. Wearing his faded tattered blue jeans, dark gray T-shirt that made his guitar muscles stand out amazingly, his hair perfectly messy as usual, his eyes were still ocean blue, and his face just as sarcastic as ever.
Like everyone else's eyes, his were fixed on the blonde boy Mimi was holding in her arms.
"Meems?" Tai spoke up first and Mimi turned to face him.
Mimi bit her lip as her eyes locked onto Tai's face. Only he didn't keep his shocked look, his face melted into a smile as he jumped the couch to come and take the baby.
"Who is this?! You started the next generation of Digidestines without the rest of us?" Tai did steal Jared from Mimi successfully.
The tears that had threatened to fall out of fear, leaked out in happiness. They continued to stream out as Tai began to play with Jared. "His name is Jared." She finally sniffled out.
"Jared? What a fitting name. Hello Jared, I'm Tai." Tai took Jared's tiny hand in his own and shook it.
Slowly everyone else started to crawl out from their hiding places and towards them.
"Is he-" Sora began, but Mimi cut her off.
"Yes. He is my son." Mimi wasn't ashamed of her son. He was the light of her life.
"How old is he?" Tai asked as Sora stole Jared from him.
"About 17 months." Mimi answered. Matt's eyes still hadn't moved from Jared. Which was causing an uneasy feeling to stir in her stomach.
"Really? Wow!" Tai was still playing with Jared even though Sora had him.
Matt took his own step forward now, with several more followed. Each one making Mimi's heart squeeze tighter.
"Good to see you again. But I have to go, I need to be at my show in an hour. Bye Mimi. Bye Little Man." Matt walked right past her and straight towards the door.
Heartless as damn ever. Didn't even bother looking at his son! Well if she was going to be fair, he didn't know. Still! He could have at least made an effort not to be a two week old dead buzzards tail!
"Yeah. Bye." Mimi muttered.
"Matt! You ass! Stay a while. We just got Mimi back, plus Jared, and you're already taking off?"
"Its okay, right Mimi? We understand that when one us has to leave, they have to leave." Matt's voice was distant and cold.
"Yeah. It was nice to see you."
"Pleasure as always. Maybe I'll see you some other time."
"Fine!"
"Perfect!" With that he slammed the door and left.
After a another pregnant pause, Sora spoke up, "House warming party at Mimi's new apartment?"
Everyone replied in unison, "Yeah!"
Mimi herself wasn't so thrilled, but nonetheless she followed the migrating herd out the door after she had managed to get the crying Jared back.
Hope you enjoyed this! I don't know if I should keep going so let me know!
