I do NOT own RENT I know sucks for me
"Pookie can you answer the phone!?" Maureen Johnson askes after the 2nd ring
"Sure honeybear" Joanne yells into the bedroom where Maureen was currently getting ready to take a shower
"Hello" the lawyer answers
"Hello" the person on the other end says "this is Catherine McCoy is there an Maureen Johnson available?"
"yes hold on please." Joanne says in her lawyer voice
"Maureen!" Joanne calls
"What is it pookie?" the diva asks coming out of the room in nothing but a towel
"telephone" Joanne says handing her lover the phone
"Hello Maureen speaking" the diva says
"Hello Maureen this is Catherine McCoy I'm calling about your sister Rebecca"
"What about Rebecca?" Maureen asks in a panicky tone
"I'm sorry but there was an accident. She is okay just a few bruises but unfortunately she was the only survivor. Your parents are dead." the lady on the phone says with very little emotion
"Oh my god" Maureen says shocked
"What is it?" Joanne asks
Ignoring the question Maureen continues to talk with Catherine about her sister
"What's going to happen to Rebecca now?" the diva wants to know
"Well that is the reason for this call. You were mentioned in the will as your sister's caretaker if anything were to happen to your parents."
"WHAT!?!" the drama queen yells
"Yes Miss. Johnson it says right here you are the caretaker of your sister if something if something happens to both of your parents." Mrs. McCoy says in a bored tone "will you take her?"
"What happens if I decide not to become my sisters caretaker?" the diva asks in a quiet voice
"Well my guess is she would go into foster care until we can locate family members or a permanate home for Rebecca." she says with a little more sympathy
"Can I have a little more time to think about it? I need to discuss this with my girlfriend."
"Yes of course but I'll need an answer before 6:00 tonight. The number is 712-488-7124"
"Ok bye." Maureen says hanging up the phone
"oh my god" Maureen says once again falling on the couch with tears running down her eyes
"Honeybear what happened?" Joanne asks pulling Maureen into a comforting hug
"Oh pookie!" Maureen cries while clinging on her love for dear life
"Shhhhh" the lawyer says trying to sooth her girlfriend although she still has no idea what's going on
"My parents are dead and left my sister in my care." Maureen murmurs into Jo's shoulder
"I am so sorry" Joanne says sincerely
"What am I suppose to do?" Maureen exclaims wiping her eyes
"honeybear look at me" the dark skinned lawyer says lightly lifting the diva's head form her shoulders
"you can't just leave your sister. We'll just have to take care of her like your parents asked
"Thank-you pookie" Maureen says lightly kissing Joanne on the lips "I love you"
"I love you too now go call the lady back then get dressed before you get sick" she says lightly patting her lovers towel covered butt
A few hours later Maureen talked to Ms. McCoy again and told her she and Joanne would take the responsibility of raising Maureen's little sister.
"Honeybear?" Joanne calls while they were getting ready to meet everyone at 'life'
"Yea?" Maureen answers while applying her lipstick
"should we tell everyone tonight?"
"We have to do it sometimes the diva says finishing her makeup
"Okay just remember we have things to work out before you sister gets here. Like were she's going to sleep
"that's simple pookie" Maureen says grabbing her coat "we'll just have to get a bigger place."
"No we won't" Joanne states "we'll just change my office back into a bedroom
Maureen pouts a little but replies "fine"
With that said the two head out the door to 'life'.
