December 15th, 1991
Roger slowly opened his eyes, squinting at the bright light. He began to stretch; as he did he felt a lot of pain coming from his back. It was his second night sleeping on the old couch. He hadn't spoken to Mimi since he had asked her what happened with her sister, actually he hadn't even seen her since then. He looked around and saw no one else there, he was alone. He looked up at the clock and saw it was already 12:15. Everyone else had already gotten up. He got off the couch and threw the blanket on it. He made his way to the kitchen and started making his coffee and cereal like every morning. He poured his coffee into the mug and took his bowl of cereal and coffee to the table and sat down.
A few minutes later, Mimi came out wearing a fake silk robe with a nightgown under it. She walked over to Roger and wrapped her arms around him from behind as he was taking a sip of his coffee, kissing his cheek, taking him aback.
"Good morning baby" She said quietly in his ear. He put down his coffee and told her good morning back.
"How is your morning?" She asks him as she begins to rub his back. He groans and rolls his head back.
"It's getting better" He told her. They heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Mimi yelled.
"It's me, don't bother coming to the door I already found my key" Mark yell back. He came in and saw Mimi rubbing Roger's back at the table. He was confused.
"Hey" He said to them.
"Hey" They responded, Mark then took out his camera and started to film them.
"Here we have Roger and Mimi a week before the wedding. I'm guessing things are good again" He scanned them up and down with the camera.
"Get it away from me" Roger told him, irritated as Mark shoved the camera in his face. Mimi giggled as Mark rolled his eyes and turned off his camera.
"I'll be in my room if you need me" He told them as he left into his room.
"Why are you being so good to me?" Roger asked as he closed his eyes while Mimi continued.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you were all mad at me." He told her. She let go of his back and bent down.
"It doesn't matter anymore." She whispered in his ear, sending shivers up his spine.
"Mimi, we have to talk about it." He told her in a low voice. She sighed, got up, and sat in the chair across from Roger.
"We can't do this" She told him.
"What?" He replied.
"We can't have a baby, it's too much. We can't take care of it, and it could have AIDs or even if it doesn't we won't be here for it long enough. I almost died last year, what will happen when you and I actually do die? And this place is a mess; it's not good for a baby." She tried to explain to him. His facial expression showed that she wasn't exactly getting through.
"You almost died last year because you were on drugs, while living on the street in the middle of winter, and you weren't taking your AZT. There are ways we can prevent it from having AIDs, and we can clean up this place. If and when, god-forbid we're gone, we have amazing people around us to care of it. There's nothing to worry about. You've always said that you always wanted a big family." He tried to convince her, taking her hands in his.
"Do you really thing this could work?" She asked, looking up at him. He nodded.
"Why wouldn't it?" Mimi took a deep breath.
"I guess we're going to have baby then" She said with a smile. Roger smiled, leaning in and kissing her. He pulled away and rested his forehead on hers.
"I love you" He told her in a low voice.
"I love you too" She replied in an equally low voice, she then slid into his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck and began to kiss him again.
Mark walked out of his room with his camera in hand. He looked over at Mimi and Roger, seeing that they were busy. He started put on his coat and scarf.
"Guys, I'm going out" He said loudly. They pulled away from each other and looked him.
"okay" Roger said.
"Bye Mark" Mimi said, waving. Mark look his bag and camera and left the two.
"He's gone, let's go" Roger said as he picked Mimi up bridal style. Mimi let out a small laugh as Roger carried her into their bedroom.
I'm sorry that was so cheesy but I had no other way to do it. I hope you fluff-lovers enjoyed it very much.
