So not really a strong chapter, but one of those things that had to be done! Please R&R

"Mimi has a fever." Maureen said when Mark picked up the phone.

"What?" Mark said in reply out of shock out of fear.

"The thermometer that we stuck in Mimi's mouth says102 degrees," Maureen said Mark could tell she was having a breakdown but didn't tell her to calm down at all.

"Ok bring her over here. I'll call Roger's parents and tell Roger. Can you call Collins?"

"Yeah sure," The tone in Maureen's voice told Mark that she had more to say. "Mark I'm scared!"

"It'll be ok, just get her over here." Mark said, he had never been good at comforting people especially Maureen.

Mark hung up the phone and dialed Roger's number. He had only called it a couple of times but the number was stuck on the fridge for two years and would always remember the long distance phone number.

"Hello," A woman answered the phone.

"Mrs. Davis this is Mark Cohen." Maureen and Joann came in the room Mimi followed behind them.

"Mark who?" Mrs. Davis said.

"Mark Cohen, Roger's roommate."

"Is this a prank?"

"Uh no please I need to speak to Roger."

"Why?" Maureen became fed up with the conversation and grabbed the phone from Mark's hands.

"Hey Mrs. Davis this is Maureen Johnson, remember I went to school with Roger."

"Yes, Maureen how are your parents?"

"They're fine. I need to speak to Roger, please."

"Oh I am sorry dear; he is out at the moment. Do you want to leave a message?"

With disappointment she mumbled, "No" Roger never told his parents anything she doubted that they knew who Mimi was; they barely knew who Mark was. Maureen didn't want to have to be the one to explain how her only son's girlfriend who is an ex-exotic dancer is now pregnant. And their only grandchild will probably have AIDS.

"Ok well someone will have to go down there." Joann

"No!" Maureen and Mark said together.

"Mark you go you're his best friend." Maureen suggested

"But you know his family." Mark fought back.

"Maureen go!" Mimi said not leaving anything up for debate.

"Fine I'll go pack!"

I know not really a strong chapter. But please review anyways!
