Chapter One

*Late March 2014*

**Idina's Brain**

Great, for the umpteenth time this month, I am laying here at one in the morning trying to get my brain to shut up so I can just go to sleep. I've gotta be at the theatre nice and early tomorrow to go over things. And on top of that, I have yet another interview to do tomorrow for some show or another. But no, here I am, lying here with a wandering brain. Go to sleep, Idina.

No.

Please?

"Once every day, your life starts again." Her brain sing-songed.

What?

… What the fuck does that even mean? There is no possible way someone could create a new life for themselves in one day. If I woke up one day and really wanted to be a doctor, I couldn't just go and do that. I'd have to go back to like 9th grade and try and learn chemistry and math all over again. Man, I really sucked at that stuff. Or what if I just wanted to go and become a professional tennis player? I'm 42 years old for Christ's sake, I can't do that either.

It's not like I would want to do anything like this. I'm a performer. The stage is where I belong. Ever since I began singing at weddings and bar mitzvahs when I was 16, I knew that all I ever wanted in life was to be a singer. I wanted to be on the road singing my music in front of thousands of people. I never gave up that dream…

.. And that's how I got to be where I am: Tony award winner, Broadway "Queen", and Show-Seller-Outer. I quite enjoy where I am, though I wish I could spend more time with Walker: especially with his father being across the country.

… Taye… God, I really miss him sometimes or maybe I just miss someone to come home to. But hey, people divorce all the time; it is definitely not a rare occasion. Though, I'm like the stupidest person to divorce. Seriously, my career just went on a steep ascent after Frozen. I'm like a household name now. Hell, I'm probably more well-known than he is. Take that, motherfucker.

I bet he won't have any trouble finding someone else though. The man practically looks like he's still 25 and those abs, mmmm. Well, I guess you know what they say about black men.

And then there's me. Forty two and over here like, wrinkles, go away. And elbow skin, can't you just go back to where you should be and, I don't know, DO IT QUICKLY! Sheesh. I know I still look pretty good for my age but sometimes it's hard to focus on that instead of all the negatives; especially when "that special someone" isn't beside you in bed at night telling you how gorgeous and amazing you are. Sometimes the insecurities just make it briefly to the forefront of my mind, ok?

However, thanks to all my beautiful Fanzels out there, I could always just look at my Twitter or Facebook page and see all of the compliments they provide. I seriously have the best fan base in the world. Even the overly obsessed ones… I love…

BEEEP.. BEEEP.. BEEEP!

"Mmmmm." Idina mumbled, still trying to enjoy her sleep.

The alarm continues to go off.

What is that?

Idina begins to stir and turns over to find where that awful sound is coming half opens her eyes to see that, naturally, the sound is coming from her alarm that reads only 6:15. Crap, I gotta get Walker dressed and breakfast and to day care and then get over to the Rodgers. Ugh, can't I ever just get to sleep in for one day?

She rolls out of bed slowly, stopping when she is seated on the edge to stretch a bit and to shake some of the sleepiness out. She walks over to the bathroom and catches herself in the mirror. After giving herself a good once over, laughing at her bed-head hairstyle, and noting the dark circles under her eyes, Idina finally hopped in the shower in hopes to gain a better sense of alertness that she knew she would need soon.

After she was done drying, she threw some clothes on and went to wake her favorite lil' man.

"Good morning, Waaaalker" she sang softly as she gave him a gentle shake. "Good morning to my favorite little man." She hummed more than anything.

"Morning, Mama." Walker said with a sleepy smile.

"Haha, morning baby. So, what do we want for breakfast this morning?"

Lemme guess…

"Waffles!"

Wow, surprise.

"Okay baby. Now, how about you put on some clothes for day care while I go make us some goodums?"

"Okay!" He replied jumping off the bed to run to his closet.

"Hey now," She said with a fake pout. "Don't you have some lovin' to give to a certain someone?"

Walker smiled and ran back into her already outstretched arms. "I love you mommy!" He said as she peppered his little face with kisses.

"I love you, too, baby." She held him for a moment and then stood and smiled as she watched him run off to his closet again.

This is the only man I need in my life.

After a good breakfast with her boy, she dropped him off at day care with a smile and a kiss and headed off for the theatre.

||\/|||~||\/||~||\/||

She arrived at the theatre just a little bit before eight. Naturally she walked in and went straight to her dressing room to set her purse and jacket down. She sat there for a minute to quickly warm up. She didn't feel the need to do a full warm up since this was just supposed to be a quick run through of some things that needed to "fit" better. To be honest, Idina didn't really even think they were gonna run through anything she sings but she thought she should be there in case some of the songs with the company needed worked on.

"Suddenly, a wild Anthony appears!" she heard just before she saw Anthony Rapp appear in her mirror.

Idina couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, hey, Anthony. Man, you're such a nerd some times."

"Hey now," he replied with a mocked hurt expression. "You knew what I was referencing. I think that makes you just about as big of a nerd as I am." He smiled.

"Now, Anthony, no one is as big of a nerd as you are, especially when it comes to video games." She looked over to see the smile had faded ever so slightly. "But I love you all the same." She beamed at him.

"Well, I guess we're all good then." He laughed. "So, Dee, what're you doing here anyway?"

"What do you mean?" she turned away from the mirror to look at him directly.

"I just mean, I didn't think you needed to be here for this. Lord knows you don't need any work on any of your parts. Plus, don't you have some interview thing to be getting ready for?"

"Well, I'm here in case they need to run some of the harmonies or whatever in some of the bigger numbers. I know I don't need any work. Pssh." She gave him a sly grin. "And maybe I just wanted to see everyone. Walker's at day care and you guys are my family. You know I love coming in here every day and seeing all of you. And, yes I do have yet another interview today. Ugh. But it's not until like noon so I have plenty of time to get there."

"Not excited for the interview?" his brow furrowed.

"Eh. I mean, I guess I'm tired of doing them right about now. I feel like I've done at least one a day since Frozen premiered."

"That's because you have." He said with a small smile and laugh.

"Yeah, I know. I don't know. Sometimes I just wanna have a break yah know? Maybe get a chance to see my boy more than just to wake him up and put him to sleep." She looked down and realized she had been picking at her nails again. I'm surprised I have any of these left.

"Yeah, I get what you mean. I mean, I don't know exactly know what you mean but I can see that that must be hard for you. But hey honey, Walker's doing well and he knows you love him with all your heart and all that. And, I mean, you give all you can for your art. I've never seen you put in less than one hundred percent at any performance or concert. That's just you, Dee. And I'm sure Walker can see that… Hell, the whole world can. You're one Bad Ass Motherfucker, Dee." He patted her knee and smiled.

She returned his smiled. She was always thankful for Anthony's pep talks, ever since those days in Rent. "I am, aren't I?" she smiled a little bit bigger.

He gave a small laughed, "Now Idina, I said it once, I'm not gonna repeat it. Nice try though."

"Well, you can't blame a girl for tryin'" she smiled. "But anyway, thanks for that. You always seem to know what to say."

"Well, I have known you for a long time, Dee. I guess it all just comes with the experience."

"Man, experience, that almost makes it sound… I don't know."

"Positively neutral?"

"Exactly." Man, he does know me pretty well.

"Well, we've had our ups and downs." He said giving her the, you know it's true, look.

"Yeah, yeah." She smiled. "But at least call it an adventure or something. That makes it sound a little more… I don't know... epic! Anyway, we should probably get on out to the balcony."
