two months
Mimi was draped across the couch reading over some of the papers Collins had already graded while the anarchist continued to work.
"I have no clue what the hell this paper says," Mimi sighed as she handed Collins the paper. The anarchist quickly scanned it over.
"Neither did this person. This paper makes no sense," he explained. Mimi picked up another paper, and began to read it. Roger came out of the bedroom, and kissed Mimi's cheek.
"I'm gonna run to the store, I take it you want something," he told her. Mimi propped herself up on one elbow, and chewed on her bottom lip.
"Yeah, one of those bags of salad and Ranch dressing, no Italian, no, wait, Caesar." Roger and Collins looked at each other.
"I'll see what they have." Roger gave Mimi another kiss. "Love you." Mimi lay back down.
"Love you too." Roger grabbed his jacket and scarf, and left to go to the store.
Collins thought that it would be a fairly quiet morning. Suddenly, Mimi leapt up off the couch, and bolted for the bathroom. The sound of her throwing up quickly followed.
After several minutes, Collins called, "You doin' okay Meems?"
"Yeah, I'm uh, fine." Collins heard Mimi digging around in the bathroom. "Do we have any more mouthwash left?" Collins stopped to think.
"Uh, no. Roger's picking some up at the store, sorry." Mimi swore under her breath as she grabbed her toothbrush, and brushed her teeth to get the nasty taste out of her mouth.
A few minutes later, Mimi came back out of the bathroom. She curled up on the couch, and wrapped a blanket around her. Collins got up to get himself some more coffee.
"How are you feeling, Mimi?" he asked. Mimi burrowed deeper under the blanket so she looked like a large blob with huge soulful brown eyes.
"Morning sickness is a bitch," she mumbled. Collins chuckled as he sat back down. "I don't even get why it's called morning sickness, it lasts all day!"
"There's medication that helps with morning sickness 'ya know." Mimi shook her head.
"No, I'm fine. It's not for the entire nine months. I'll live." Collins shrugged, and went back to the never ending grading process.
When Roger got back from the store, Mimi was still curled up on the couch, and Collins was still grading papers. After Roger pulled off his jacket and scarf, he handed Mimi a bag of salad, a fork, and a shopping bag with three bottles of dressing in it.
"What kind of dressing did you get me?" the dancer asked as she yanked open the bag.
"All three that way you can choose for yourself." Mimi smiled as she tore open the bag of salad, and poured some Caesar dressing into it, and shook it up.
"Thanks baby." Roger watched as Mimi gulped down the salad. The dancer leaned against Roger's shoulder, and ate the entire bag of salad.
A few minutes after Mimi finished eating her salad, she ran for the bathroom. Roger followed. He crouched down next to her, and rubbed her back until she was done emptying her stomach.
When Mimi was done, she leaned up against Roger, and muttered bitterly, "So much for actually enjoying my salad." Roger smiled, and kissed the top of Mimi's head.
"At least you had something in your system for a little while."
"For a grand total of two minutes." Roger rubbed Mimi's upper arm, and sat with her in the bathroom while she ranted about morning sickness.
A week later, Maureen burst into the apartment, announcing, "Hello lazy bums!" Everyone looked up from what they were doing.
"Hey Mo," Mimi said brightly. Maureen sauntered over to the couch, and sat down lightly next to the dancer. "What's up?"
"It's so boring at my place. Joanne has to work late on some case; leaving me home alone. So, I came here," Maureen replied with a shrug. "Oh, oh, I've come up with a name for your baby; at least until it's born."
"A name?" Roger repeated; worried about what Maureen would say next.
"Yeah, you can't keep calling it 'it' until it's born. So, I came up with the name Mickey." Mark rolled his eyes, and Collins chuckled and shook his head.
"Mickey?" Roger asked. "What if it's a girl? Mickey's a boy's name." Maureen shrugged.
"It's just temporary until the baby's born." Mimi gave Maureen a hug.
"I like it, so shut up," she snapped. Groaning, Roger got up. It wasn't worth arguing with his pregnant wife and Maureen.
A/N: Each chapter will be one month during the pregnancy (next chapter Mimi will be three months pregnant, and so on and so forth) unless there isn't a little thing at the beginning of the chapter saying how far along she is. That's about it then. Much love!
