CHAPTER 26: at least you are my love.

For the past 5 months things have been going well for the bohemian family. Maureen and Joanne got committed in March, Roger and Mimi finally agreed on a name for their daughter, Collins opened his restaurant in May, Angel just released her summer line of skirts that are a huge hit, and Mark and Mickey are very happy together and Mark is now executive producer for buzz line.

June 10th 8pm Eastern Standard Time.

(At the loft)

"Hey guys lets play a game." Angel said.

The bohemians decided to hang out in the loft and not go to the Life since they had two hormonal pregnant women on their hands.

"How about spin the bottle?" Maureen asked.

"NO!" Mark said firmly.

Everyone started laughing.

"Why? You scared of Joanne?" Maureen teased.

"How about truth or dare?" Mimi suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Collins said.

"Who's going to start?" Joanne asked.

"I will." Said Roger. " Ok….Mark, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"What was it about Kate that made you leave us?"

Everyone looked straight at Mark, his face was red with anger.

"I'm not answering that." Mark snapped back.

Mark went in his bedroom and shut the door.

"God Roger." Mimi said punching him in the chest.

"Oww….fuck!"

"You are the reason of why I gave up on men…… Their so damn stupid." Maureen said coldly.

"I'll be back." Mickey said going to her and Mark's bedroom.

Mickey walked in and saw Mark sitting on the bed.

"Baby, Roger didn't mean.."

"It's ok……. I didn't know he was still mad at me about that."

Mickey sat next to him and put her hand on his shoulder, he kissed her forehead.

"Have you two even talked about it?"

"No, I never brought it up."

"Why?"

"I had something else on my mind."

"What?" Mickey asked sitting her head up looking into his blue eyes.

"Us." Mark said with a smile.

Mickey started laughing and Mark pulled her into a romantic kiss.

"Ready to go back out there?" Mickey asked.

" I was thinking we could spend a little more time here." Mark said.

They started kissing again and Mickey climbed on top of Mark running her hands under his shirt, Then the door flew open.

"MIMI'S WATER BROKE!" Angel screamed.

(In the waiting room)

10pm Eastern Standard Time.

The gang was spread out in the waiting room. Collins got out a deck of cards.

"Bullshit anyone?"

They got up and put the tables together.

"Who's playing?"

"I'll just film it." Mark said rolling his camera.

"I am." Maureen said excitingly.

"Me too." Joanne said.

"You know I'm in." Angel said.

"Ditto." Mickey said.

"One for the drama queen, one for my baby girl, one for the tough ass lawyer, and one for Marky's girl." Collins said passing out the cards.

Mark: June 10th, 10pm Eastern Standard Time, the beginning of a long wait for our newest bohemian to arrive. Zoom in on Maureen Johnson who is carrying the second baby in this family. Tell us how you fill..

Maureen: How the hell do you think I fill? I eat all the time and I cry about every little thing.

Joanne: And she's bipolar.

Mark: She's been bipolar.

They all laughed.

Maureen: Fuck you.

Angel: Honey, I cant even imagine what your going through.

Maureen: Thank you for your support Angel.

Joanne: Hey, I support you.

Maureen: I guess….who's turn is it?

Joanne shook her head.

Collins: It's my turn…. I have two queens.

Angel: Bullshit.

Collins: Dammit.

(in the delivery room)

"Baby, all you have to do is hold in there." Roger said holding Mimi hands.

"YOU DID THIS TO ME." She screamed pushing.

"It was fun though."

Mimi smacked him.

"YOU SICK FUCK!"

Roger walked over to the doctor.

"Doc, do you have anything that will calm her down?"

"We've already given her all the medication we could give her.

1am Eastern Standard Time.

(in the waiting room)

Mark: June 11th, 1am Eastern Standard Time. No news on Mimi or the baby. Look straight ahead and you will find Angel braiding Maureen's hair while Joanne reads the Village Voice, next to them is Collins completely knocked out and drooling, and next to me is a very happy Mickey. Why are you so happy at 1am in the morning?

Mickey (cheerfully): Because I'm on my 5th cup of coffee.

Mark: Your going to feel like shit tomorrow at work.

Mickey (dryly): I know.

Maureen: I HAVE TO PISS!

Mickey, Mark, and Joanne: Tell the whole world why don't you?

Angel: Mo wait, I have to finish this one braid up.

Angel went after Maureen. Mark got up and went to Joanne.

Mark: How are you doing?

Joanne: Much better when you get that damn camera out of my face.

Mark took the camera away from his face and turned it off.

"I'm so board." Mark said sitting down next to Mickey.

"We could find somewhere to finish what we were doing earlier." Mickey said in a seductive voice.

"No, I want to be here to film when Roger comes out."

"Ok." Mickey cheerfully.

"Mo, I cant believe you stole all the toilet paper out of the bathroom." Angel said as they came back from the bathroom.

"SHE DID WHAT?" Joanne asked firmly.

"The Tango Maureen." Mark said under his breath.

( in the delivery room)

"One more push Mrs. Davis."

Mimi made one hard push and the sound of a baby was heard.

"Congratulations on new your baby boy." Said the doctor.

"I thought we were having a girl?" They asked in unison.

"Got cha." He said laughing.

They rolled their eyes.

1:35am Eastern Standard Time.

Roger came in the room with the whole family behind him.

"Everyone meet Victoria Davis." Mimi said holding the sleeping baby.

A/N: You better like that name, because that's my name LOL! I'm not very good at explaining child birth so I hope you liked it. REVIEW! No flamers.
