Alright, this is going to be another short chapter, sorry. I'm running out of ideas; send me a message if you have any for chapter 5. RENT is not mine!

Lorana sat curled around her growing stomach, Marie's book of baby names in front of her.
"Finding any you like?" asked Marie exiting the kitchen, Drake following close behind eating a sandwich.
"Not yet. I might have found one, and if that's the case, I only have three more too go," Lorana said flipping the page.
"Mommy, when are we gonna find a costume?"
"Soon, very soon. Lorana, do you still know how to sew patterns?"
"For the most part; what do you wanna be Drake? A cowboy? An astronaut?"
"I wanna be a Pirate! Arg!" Marie and Lorana chuckled.
"A Pirate it is then, Caption Drake."
"How much do I owe you for making this?"
"Nonsense! You're still letting me and my husband live here with you, and I'm six months pregnant with twins."
"Like I would just kick you out on the street. Are you going to find out what you're having?"
"Nope, I want to be surprised. I'll take Drake to Wal-Mart or somewhere we can pick out the fabric. Unless, you want to join?"
"Yeah, I'll do that, keep an eye on my son."
"Okay, well, we can go now, or wait until after I've finished my homework. Which sounds better to you?"
"After, it's Drake's nap time now."
"I'm not tired," Drake yawned. Marie merely raised her eyebrows and picked up her son, carrying him of to bed.

"October 31st, 1996. 4:51pm, Eastern Standard Time. Lorana has just finished putting on the final touches for Drake's Pirate Costume." Mark zoomed in on Drake.
"Is it time to go trick-or-trweating yet?" the small boy asked eagerly.
"Almost," Marie said. "You sure you don't want to come along Lorana?"
"Yeah, I'm going to stay home with Jake, when he gets here."
"Okay, well after we've finished trick-or-treating we're heading over to the loft, if you wanna join." Mark grabbed his camera and its bag.
"Oh my God, you should invite Maureen," Lorana said; she grabbed for the phone, but Marie got to it first.
"Not tonight, no. She kinda scares Drake."
"Well, fine, but maybe I want to talk to her." Lorana grabbed the phone out of Marie's hand.
"Why don't we go," Mark suggested, and Drake skipped eagerly ahead of his parents.
"Careful on the stairs! Marie called after him.

"How much candy did you get?" Lorana asked, at the loft later that evening.
"Too much," Marie answered. Indeed, Drake was now on the old battered couch, jumping up and down, jostling Lorana and Mimi.
"I'll say; Mark, how much candy did you let him eat?"
"Why is my fault?"
"Marie, having been sugar high, wouldn't let her son eat enough candy to get a sugar high."
"Somewhere between 15 and 20 pieces," Mark guessed.
"How could you let our son eat that much candy!" Marie asked slightly outraged. "It's going to take forever for him to fall asleep now." Drake continued bouncing.
