"They're here!" Mimi yelled from the window seat in the loft before jumping up and rushing out the door.
"Think she's excited?" Erika asked laughing as she and Mark got up from the couch.
"Oh leave her alone. She's happy they're home." Collins laughed as they all left the loft to go down to greet them.
"So am I. I finally have someone who actually knows music." Erika said smiling at them as they exited the building.
"Chica, you're here." Mimi yelled hugging Sara, who had just woken up.
"Yeah I'm here. Can I wake up first please? It's been a long ride." Sara asked laughing as she stretched standing outside the moving truck.
"Where's Mo and Jo?" Roger asked putting his arm around Sara.
"Mo has rehearsal and Jo had a meeting. They're meeting us later." Erika said smiling over at them.
"I can't believe you're finally home." Collins said hugging Roger.
"Yeah, it's weird. I never thought I'd be living back here again." he said smiling down at him.
"Come on chica. I wanna show you your apartment." Mimi said taking Sara's hand.
"I'm coming. I just gotta get Davis out of the truck." Sara laughed as Roger handed her the cat carrier from the front of the truck before being dragged up to the apartment.
"Come on guys, let's start unloading this truck." Roger said opening the back.
"Ugh." Collins grumbled as everyone laughed.
"Oh quit it. It's not that much stuff." Roger laughed as he handed Mark and Erika boxes from the back of the truck.
"This is it. What do you think?" she asked opening the door. It was a large 2 bedroom apartment. The walls were freshly painted and there were already pictures hanging on the walls of Roger and Sara and the gang.
"This is beautiful Mimi. So you're sure Benny doesn't mind that it's us living here?" she asked looking over at her as she set the cat carrier down.
"Are you kidding? He was glad it was you and Roger. I think he was afraid it was friends of mine from the club." Mimi told her laughing as Roger, Mark, Erika and Collins came in carrying boxes.
"Benny's happy that I'm moving back? Muffy must really be driving him nuts if he's glad I'm living here again." Roger asked laughing as he put the boxes down.
"Benny's been really great lately. He and Allison have actually been coming around and hanging out." Mimi said smiling at him.
"Oh?" he asked looking over at her as he wrapped his arms around Sara's waist.
"Yeah, he's almost like the old Benny." Mark said smiling at him.
"And Allison has actually been calling me by my name rather than "that whore". It's been great." Mimi said laughing as she put her arm around Sara's shoulders.
"Well that's good. It looks like a lot's changed around here." Sara said smiling over at Mimi.
"Well, we should get the truck unpacked so Sara and I can take a nap and then we can hang out tonight to celebrate." Roger suggested as he kissed Sara's head.
"Great idea, Honey Bear. Let's go." Sara said smiling as they went back downstairs to unload the truck.
"Can you believe we're home?" Sara asked petting Davis as she looked up at Roger from their bed.
"Thank you Boobie." he said smiling as he leaned down to kiss her.
"Roger, I wanted to move here too. I needed to get out of that town. I've been there my whole life." she said propping her chin on his chest to look up at him.
"I know." he said leaning down to kiss her.
"Mr. and Mrs. Davis, are you guys up?" Mimi yelled knocking on the door.
"Go away Mimi." Roger yelled holding Sara in his arms as Davis jumped off of the bed to go to the door.
"We better get up. You know she'll never go away." Sara said laughing as she kissed him again before starting to get dressed.
"Come on you guys. Everyone's waiting for us." Mimi yelled knocking again.
"We're coming chica. Hang on." Sara yelled smiling at Roger who had started to get dressed too.
"You and her are gonna be trouble living in the same building, aren't you?" he asked slipping into his jeans.
"It's gonna be fun to say the least." Sara laughed before going into the living room and opening the door.
"Hey Davis. How is my fluffy kitty? Come on chica. Are you ready to party?" Mimi asked picking up the cat looking over at her.
"Almost sweetie. We just have to finish getting dressed and then we'll be ready. Where are we hanging out?" Sara asked putting her hair into a pony tail.
"Where else? The Life." she said laughing as Roger came out of the bedroom running his fingers through his hair.
"Where else?" Roger said laughing as he sat on the couch to put his boots on.
"Good thing I don't start work until next week. I have a lot of unpacking to do and it doesn't look like it's getting done tonight or tomorrow." Sara said laughing as she went to put her sneakers on.
"Don't worry chica. If you need help just let me know. I'd be happy to help you." Mimi said smiling as she entered the apartment.
"You might regret offering that Meems." Roger laughed looking over at Sara who was smiling at him.
"I'm not that bad." she argued laughing at him.
"Oh no, not that bad." he said leaning over to kiss her.
"Come on married people. Are you ready?" Collins asked standing in their doorway.
"Yeah, we're ready. Let's party." Sara said smiling at them before they left the apartment.
"Roger Sara, you're back. I can't believe you're back for good." Maureen yelled as they entered the Life Cafe.
"Well we are." Roger said laughing with his arm still around Sara's waist.
"I'm so happy you guys are here." she said hugging them.
"Thanks Maureen. We're happy too." Sara said smiling at her.
"OK, let's get this party started." Erika said sitting next to Mark.
"So Roger, are you gonna try to get your old job back at the bar?" Joanne asked as Roger and Sara sat down.
"Hopefully. If not, there are a million bars in the city." he said smiling at her.
"And hopefully he'll consider joining my band. I really need you Roger." Erika said smiling at him.
"Of course he will. I can't wait to see you two on stage together again." Sara said as Roger smiled down at her.
"I can't wait either." he smiled leaning down to kiss her.
"OK, a toast is in order so get ready." Collins laughed holding his beer up.
"Here we go." Sara laughed as she picked up her beer.
"To Sara, for bringing Roger home to bohemia." he said as everyone laughed.
"I'll drink to that." Roger smiled with his arm around Sara.
"OK, where do you want this chica?" Mimi asked picking up a framed picture of Sara and Roger at their prom.
"I wanna hang that in the bedroom." she said smiling at it. "Look at how young we were." she said smiling at her.
"You guys look so great together. The prom king and queen." Mimi said smiling as she looked at the picture too.
"Yeah. We always were the perfect couple." she said taking the picture and putting it in the bedroom.
"So how did Heather and Chris take it when you told them you guys were leaving?" Mimi asked following her.
"You know Heather. She thought I was doing it for Roger. Which I did, to an extent, but it's what I wanted too. I mean, up there is home, but down here he can get better health care, you know? I want him around as long as possible." she said staring at the picture.
"I know chica. He will be. He's healthy. He's not going anywhere, you know?" she said smiling over at her.
"I hope not. I'm not ready to lose him for good this time." Sara said looking up at her. She had tears in her eyes.
"Come here chica. Everything's gonna be OK, you know." Mimi said holding her arms out to her.
"I know. It's just that, I'm not ready to lose my husband and I have better health benefits here and the doctors are better here and they can give him better meds that can help him live longer." she said crying into Mimi's shoulder.
"Don't worry about that right now Sara, OK? Just live your life with your husband and everything'll be OK." Mimi said caressing her hair.
"Thanks Mimi. What would I do without you?" Sara asked wiping her eyes.
"Well you have me, so don't think about it, OK?" Mimi said smiling at her friend.
"I know." Sara said hugging Mimi again.
"Now, we have unpacking to do. We need to make this a home for you and Roger." Mimi said smiling at her.
"It's already a home." Sara said smiling back at her.
