Sorry it's taken me so long to get this typed up, like I said earlier, I am possibly the laziest person in the world. Don't worry though if it takes me awhile to get the next chapter up, I'm still working on the story! I'm working on chapter 12 right now, and I'm thinking one more chapter after that and then the end. I think I'm gonna write a sequel to it because I'm ok with skipping months in a story, but I think my story would be weird if I skip years. Oh yea, this isn't the original chapter 4 that I wrote, but because of my laziness, I didn't feel like typing up chapter 4A because there wasn't really anything important in it that would apply later in the story, except that Maureen's mom called while they were shopping and then her and Jo decided to have all of their parents over for dinner, which is what's happening now. If I get lots of reviews I may post chapter 4A later, and so that you guys don't get confused this chapter is going to be referred to as both chapter 5 and chapter 4B. Enjoy!

Oh yea, obviouslyI don't own Maureen, Joanne, or their parents, Jonathan Larson does.


That night as I sat across from Maureen during dinner I realized how nervous I was about telling my parents. Dad was pretty cool with our relationship, but my mom was still trying to set me up with the "right" guy for me. I looked up at Maureen and she nodded at me, our signal for me to begin.

"Mom, Dad, Mr. and Mrs.Johnson," I folded my hands in front of me and continued,"Maureen is... well, Maureen and I are"

"We're gonna have a baby!" Maureen excitedly interrupted me, smiling for the first time that night. We made eye contact with each other before looking to each of our parents to gauge their reactions. Maureen's aprents had the same uncomfortable smile on their faces that they had our wedding. My dad looked like he understood, but my mom looked confused.

"So you're going to adopt?" she asked me.

"Actually, Mrs.Jefferson, I'm pregnant," Maureen told her, surprising me with how much she had managed to calm down. "We've been going to different doctors trying to mix our DNA for the past the past year, and after so many attempts to get me pregnant, I am."

My mom turned and looked at me. "Joanne, is this true?"

"Yes, mom. You know how much Maureen and I have wanted a child, so why do you think we would lie about something like this?" I was starting to get mad. Couldn't she be happy for me, just once? Before she got a chance to respond, my father began talking.

"Well, kitten, all I can say is congratulations! As long as you and Maureen are happy, I'm happy." He smiled at me and then Maureen. If he was able to accept this then why couldn't my mom?

"Yes, as long as you two are happy, then we're happy," Maureen's mom said, the uneasy smile on her face disapearing a bit, and I could tell that she truly meant what she was saying. "We'll be happy to help any way that we can"

"Thanks mom." Maureen said as she stood up and hugged both of her parents.

"We should get going," my dad said as he pushed back his chair and stood up. "It's getting late and these two are going to need all the sleep that they can get." He came over and hugged as my mom went to go get their coats. I gave each of Maureen's parents a hug and thanked them for coming and reassured her mom that we would call if we needed anything. My mom came back with their coats and hugged Maureen before walking out the door. My dad and I exchanged confused looks as she did this because she inever/i left without saying good-bye to me. I just shrugged my shoulders signaling to him to just let it go. He hugged Maureen and I and then congratulated us again before finally leaving and shuttin gthe door behind him. As soon as the door shut I grabbed Maureen and pulled her into a tight hug.

"I'll go clean up. You go relax." I kissed her on the lips and slapped her ass which caused her to giggle. "Don't worry, it'll only take me a minute," I said as I winked at her.

I let go of her and watcher her as she walked down the hallway, again thinking about how beautiful our baby was going to be, all because she was going to have Maureen's genes.
