"Baby, are you nervous about the wedding?" Roger asked looking down at Maureen as they laid in bed.
"No. Why? Are you?" she asked looking up at him propping her chin on his chest.
"A little. I mean, I'm not nervous about marrying you, because I want to be married to you. I'm just nervous about what kind of husband I'm gonna be to you." he said looking down into her green eyes.
"Roger, you love me, right?" she asked sitting up in the bed.
"Of course I do Mo. I love you more than you'll ever know." he said reaching up to caress her face with his thumb.
"Well, that's all I need from you. As long as you love me, you'll make a wonderful husband." she said leaning down to kiss him.
"With you as my wife, how could I be anything but?" he asked as he pulled her on top of him and they made love.
"I love you Roger." she whispered looking up at him.
"I love you too Maureen." he said kissing her head before they fell asleep in each others arms.

"Michelle, I'm not going in there for my bachelorette party." Maureen said as they stood outside the club.
"Why not? It'll be fun." she asked putting her arm around Maureens shoulder.
"Um, former lesbian, remember?" she said as Michelle looked over at Joanne.
"What she said." Joanne told her as she and Maureen laughed.
"OK, OK. But you guys have Roger and Mark. I don't think you're in any danger of converting back to the dark side. Are you?" she asked looking over at them.
"Of course not. I love my fiance and I can't wait until he is my husband, but don't you think it would be a little weird, me and Joanne going into a lesbian bar?" Maureen asked looking over at her.
"Good point. Sorry guys, I wasn't thinking." Michelle said looking over at them.
"That's OK. Why don't we go to a gay bar?" Maureen suggested as Joanne and Michelle laughed. "What? What did I miss? They're not bringing my Roger to a gay bar. Are they?" she asked looking at them.
"I'm afraid so sweetie." Michelle said as Maureen looked at them horrified.
"Oh man. He is not gonna be a happy camper tonight." Maureen starting to laugh with them.
"Either that or he'll be very drunk eager to prove his heterosexuality." Joanne said laughing as the women all broke out in hysterical laughter.
"Lucky you." Michelle said as Maureen began to blush.
"Michelle!!" Maureen yelled laughing.
"What? I can't wait for Nicky to come home tonight." she said laughing.
"You are so bad." Maureen told her as she put her arm around Michelle's shoulder.
"Yeah, well look at who I'm exposed to. Roger and Nicky. I was bound to pick up some of their bad habits." she said smiling at her.
"OK, we have to figure out where we're gonna go for your bachelorette party." Joanne said looking over at her.
"How about we just go to the Life Cafe? I'm not in a mood to sit around getting drunk." she said smiling at them.
"OK sweetie. Whatever you want." Michelle said smiling back.
"The Life Cafe has a lot of great memories. I just want to reminisce." she said smiling at Joanne.
"That's a great idea Maureen." she said smiling as they began walking to the Life Cafe. When they walked in the guys were sitting at one of the tables.
"What are you guys doing here?" Roger asked jumping up to greet Maureen.
"I didn't feel like sitting in a stinky lesbian bar. I felt like being here. What are you guys doing here?" she asked leaning up to kiss him.
"I felt like being here too." he said holding her in his arms.
"Can't escape the memories, huh?" she asked looking up at him.
"Sorry Baby." he whispered looking down at her.
"Don't be. Neither can I." she said holding him close. "Do you remember the night of my protest?" she asked looking up at him.
"That was the first night I kissed Mimi." he said quietly as he looked down at her.
"She was good for you you know. I thank her every day for helping you the way she did." Maureen said smiling up at him.
"You helped me too Mo. You stopped me from locking myself in the loft again." he said kissing her head.
"Roger, I couldn't let you undo all the good she did for you. I was only honoring my best friend. I just happened to have fallen in love with you in the process." she said leaning up to kiss him.
"I love you too Mo." he said picking her up into his arms.
"Come on you lovebirds. We have some celebrating to do." Collins called out as everyone smiled at them.
"You better believe we do. I'm marrying the most beautiful woman in the world." Roger said smiling at Maureen before kissing her again.
