Mimi checked her answering machine

A/N: It took me a while but here it is!!! The next chapter! I've never been too quick to finish chapters. In this one though, Mimi tells Michael about the big secret and she also calls him a hypocrite!!! I would just like to mention again, Michael fans (if there are any) should not read this. I hate him...so beware!

Disclaimer: Digimon does not belong to me,

You'd think that was plain to see,

For if I owned that show,

Mimi would say she loved Joe.

Isn't that cute? Da Sugarplum Faerie wrote it for me.

Dedication: Once again, Pikachumaniac! Fellow Jyou-lover and Michael hater!

Mimi checked her answering machine. No new messages. Guess I got here on time... Two seconds after this thought the phone rang. Mimi quickly answered.

"Hello, Reid residence."

"Mimi? This is Michael. What's the deal?" he asked.

"I need to tell you something. And it will make you so mad, but try not to be mad at me please Michael!"

"What is it?"

"I'm pregnant."

---

Michael stared into the phone, anger and confusion obvious in his face.

"You're WHAT?"

"Pregnant," Mimi answered timidly.

"But...that's impossible!"

"Not necessarily..."

"Yes, necessarily!"

"Oh Michael! I knew you'd be angry! You hypocrite!" She hung up.

Michael was in awe...Well, by that last comment I'd be willing to bet she knows...

Joe dialed Mimi's number.

"Hello," she sobbed.

She must have told him...

"Mimi," he spoke in a soothing voice, "it's Joe. How'd he take it?"

"Oh Joey! It was horrible! Can I come over?"

"Of course Mimi," Joe answered sounding surprised, "you know you're always welcome here."

Mimi sounded relived, "I know Joe...it's just..."

"It's ok Meems. Come on over."

The next thing Joe knew Mimi was opening the door to his apartment.

She rushed into his arms.

"Joe! I'm such a horrible person!"

Joe held her close. Mimi sobbed into his shirt.

"Mimi, you are not horrible! If anything, you're the kindest angel in heaven. I can't believe you'd say that!"

Mimi continued sobbing and Joe continued to hold her, and speak comforting words to her.

Mimi woke up once more in Joe's arms. Breathing deeply she opened her eyes, and for the first time in a long time looked around her. It had been two months since she found out about the baby. It had been one year since Michael had gone on his two-year "business" trip to Paris. Almost a year and a half since she had met Joe. Things were changing. She didn't know if she liked it that way. She wished she could just go back to being Mrs. Unhappy Mimi Reid. She knew though, if she had the chance, she wouldn't. Mrs. Unhappy Mimi Reid would have gone to Paris with Michael. Then she would never have had her time with Joe. Then, she sighed, she wouldn't have her baby. Mimi had always wanted children, but Michael insisted it would be too much trouble (t wasn't for all the whores he met though) to impregnate her. If she didn't get pregnant the first time, she would throw a hissy fit. So as aforementioned, things were changing. As a child she grew up with the only changes being the household help every time her mother threw a fit and fired them all, and her own age and year. She wasn't used to this kind of thing. She turned over and looked at Joe. He knew this sort of thing... he could just take it all in stride. She cursed her parents for the sheltered life they had her lived. She cursed herself for never straying from the leash they had her on, and resolved to make herself stronger. After a quick nap...

A/N: As I am suffering from extreme writer's block, suggestions are SO welcome! Also, anyone trying to e-mail me at MimiTachikawa@webtv.net will have no luck as that account was deleted… Anyone got some baby names?
