Silent night.
Meat sat in the cold of the night. Alone. It was gone midnight and freezing but still Meatloaf sat, shivering, in her corset and fish net tights. Brit was dead, rock and roll had been restored and music was free. But still, Brit was dead. Nothing could ever change that. Maybe if he had known her seceret, he wouldn't have let himself get killed. But she was alone, he was dead and nobody could change that. Not even the dreamer.
Meat would onlyt admit it to herself but she had been wrong about Galileo and Scarramouche. They were really alright. Scarra and her had become really close over the past few months. In the beginning she had been the only one she had known that Meat was pregnant. Brit had died not knowing. Scarra had found out by accident.
Meat stood by the grave they had made for Brit. She sighed. Kneeling by the stone, she ran her fingers along the top. It was smooth. Paid for by Global-soft. Meat hadn't been pleased, but at least her got a proper burrial. Meat had spoken to Kashaggi, and about what she wanted on the grave. She had been talking to the grave when Scarramouche had walked up behind her to check she was ok, that's when she heared her say, "you were gonna be a dad Brit. You and me and our baby."
"What?"
Meat looked around. "Scarra. You were not meant to hear that."
"Meat, you could have said."
"You weren't supposed to hear that." Meat looked guilty. "I just wanted to keep it from people that little bit longer, y' know?" Scarra nodded in understanding. She knelt by Meat as the older woman began to cry. Scarramouche who was unsure how to handle the situation, placed a hand on her shoulder and Meat, who was now crying, turned into her shoulder, and cried. "Thank you." She whisperd into the young bohemian's shoulder. The young girl stayed silent...
Meat lay back on the grass hill, looking up at the stars. She liked to think that he was up there, with the rock gods. Watching her. Subconsiously, she lay her palm on the small but visible baby bump now occupying her lower abodomen. 'Oh Brit' she smiled to herself. "You would have been a great father." She whisperd to herself. Starting to shiver, Meat stood, and jogged the short distance home to the Heartbreak. Before entering the building she turned and looked to the sky and simply said, "I love you Britney Spears."
