CHAPTER 5: Don't Breath To Deep.

December 26th Noon Eastern Standard Time.

(At The Life Café)

Mark was sitting at the table twisting his wedding band when Maureen walked in.

"Damn, Mickey was right." Maureen said sitting down.

"About what?" Mark said nervously.

"She told me that whenever your nervous, you twist your wedding band around." Maureen pointed out.

"Whenever she's nervous she stumbles over her words." Mark said laughing.

"You look like shit, Mark." Maureen said getting to the point.

"I'm fine." Mark said quickly.

"You've forced me to do this." Maureen said.

"Do what?"

Maureen took off her coat, she was wearing a very reviling red tank top.

"Mo, but your coat back on." Mark said looking away.

"If you don't talk….I'll have to…..put your face between my tits." Maureen threatened.

Mark got up to, but she grabbed him and wrapped her arms around him.

"Let go of me, Maureen." Mark said struggling.

"Talk, Pookie." Maureen demanded.

She licked his ear and he pushed her away.

"Don't you ever do that again." Mark said firmly as he wiped his ear.

"Talk to me, Markie." Maureen said sitting down.

Mark sat down.

"I cant believe I'm telling you this." Mark said.

"Are you having sex problems?" Maureen asked nicely.

"No, my sex life is doing good." Mark said laughing.

"What about your marriage?"

"Mickey and I have been fighting a lot lately." Mark said sadly.

"Why?" Maureen asked getting serious.

"I wont tell her about what's keeping up at night and she fills in the dark about it."

"Why wont you tell her, she deserves to know." Maureen said.

"Because, its about Kate." Mark said looking down.

"Mickey still deserves…"

"Maureen, I know, but I'm afraid she might get pissed that I have dreams about the person who nearly tore us apart." Mark snapped.

"Are they dirty dreams?"

"NO."

Mark explained the whole thing to Maureen and she listened with open ears. Meanwhile Roger and Mickey were on the other side of the Life.

"Hey!" Roger said sitting across from Mickey.

"Hey." Mickey said.

"Where are the kids at?" Roger asked.

"Sami is with Angel and Luke is with Collins, Max, and Scotty on a boys day out." Mickey said laughing.

"How's Mark?" Roger asked in a worried tone

"He didn't sleep again last night."

"Has he told you what the dream is about?" Roger asked concerned.

"No, but I think its about…." Mickey looked down.

"What?"

"Kate." Mickey said with a helpless look on her face.

"I was thinking that too." Roger said scratching his head.

"This shit is the only thing that is getting in the way of our marriage, I cant live without him. All we ever do is fight and have sex..Oh God, were turning into Maureen and Joanne." Mickey said in a worried tone.

"Calm down Mick." Roger said laughing. "I'm sure he'll talk about it when he's ready….trust me…I know what he's going through. It took me years to finally talk about April." Roger said softly.

"Your right."

"I know I am." Roger said with a smile.

(Mark and Maureen)

"Mark, you should tell her." Maureen said quietly.

"I know, but…."

"Fuck that, you two have been through a lot."

"We have and I cant live without her, all we do is fight and have sex….. Oh God were turning into Roger and Mimi."

"You two arent that bad."

"Your right, we're more like you and Joanne."

"That's why you should tell her, so you and Mickey can get back in the sane category with Angel and Collins.

"Your right."

"I know I am." Maureen said smiling.

(At the park)

December 26th 1:45pm Eastern Standard Time.

Collins had all the boys , they sat on the bench and ate ice cream.

"What do you guys wanna do next?" Collins asked.

"I brought my football." Scotty said.

"That sounds fun." Max said wiping his mouth.

"Do you know how to play?" Scotty asked Luke in a rude tone.

"Yeah."

"You're a liar."

"No, I'm not. Uncle Roger taught me." Luke defended himself.

"Your dad is boring, he hasn't even taught you how to play football. You had to have Uncle Roger teach you."

"At least my dads around." Luke shot back.

Scotty jumped to his feet and Collins picked him up.

"That's enough." Collins said in a firm voice.

The four of them split up in teams.

"Ok, me and Luke against Max and Scotty." Collins said sounding like a couch.

Max and Scotty had the ball first. Max ran toward the bench and threw the ball towards Scotty, he caught it and began running.

"I'd like to see you tackle me….pussy." Scotty yelled to Luke who was chasing him.

Luke felt fire in his eyes, he tackled Scotty as hard as he could and started beating him.

(On the street)

"Look at those kids fighting." Mickey said laughing.

"That geek is beating the shit out of that one kid." Roger snickered.

"Oh wait, now the other kid is on top of the geek and is beating his ass."

Mark and Maureen came up behind them.

"Hello." Mark said wrapping his arms around Mickey.

"Hey, you scared me." Mickey said laughing.

"What are you two looking at?" Maureen asked.

"These two kids fighting." Roger said

"Is that Collins?" Mark asked fixing his glasses.

"Those kids are our kids." Maureen screamed.

The four of them ran over to the fighting kids. Collins pulled Luke off of Scotty and Maureen held on to Scotty.

"What the hell is going on?" Mark asked.

"Scott called me a pussy."

"HE IS!" Scotty said loudly.

"I think its time for us to go home." Maureen said dragging Scotty by his jacket. "I am so sorry."

"We'll talk to you later." Mickey said.

"Damn Luke, that must be your mother coming out of you, because your dad would never kick ass like that." Roger said laughing.

Mark glared at his best friend.

"You ok little man?" Collins asked.

"Yeah." Luke said sadly.

"If you want me to, I can talk to Scotty." Max offered.

"No thanks." Luke said kicking the snow.

(At the loft)

December 26th 10pm Eastern Standard Time.

Mickey walked in the loft with a tired look on her face. Mark was sitting at his desk working with his camera.

"Hey honey, where were you?" Mark asked walking over to his wife.

"Some dumbfuck held us up, he wanted to sue his wife for divorcing him. How's Luke?" Mickey said dryly.

"He's ok, he decided to stay all night with Collins and Angel. Tory and Elise are also over there."

"Where's Sami?" Mickey asked.

"She is staying all night too."

"That means we have the house to ourselves?" Mickey asked smiling.

Mickey kissed him passionately and he pulled away quickly.

"Baby? What's wrong?" Mickey asked with a concerned look on her face.

"We need to talk." Mark said in a serious tone.

"Ok." Mickey said as he took her over to the couch.

Mark told her everything and they talked about it the whole night.

January 7th 2PM Eastern Standard Time.

(At the loft)

"Come on baby, eat your food." Mickey begged her daughter.

Sami covered her mouth with her hands.

"You are silly." Mickey said laughing.

Maureen walked through the door.

"Hey ladies." Maureen sang.

"Hey, Mo." Mickey said.

"How's my little niece?" Maureen asked in a baby voice.

"She wont eat her vegi's." Mickey said sadly.

"Oh….you know I was suppose to be your mommy, right?" Maureen said looking at the 4 month old.

Mickey gave Maureen a look.

"I'm just playing."

"Yeah right." Mickey said laughing. "What brings you here today?"

"I thought we could do something fun today." Maureen said with a wide smile.

"What's that?"

"Lets go get our nipples pierced."

"WHAT?"

"Come on, it'll be fun."

"NO! Why don't you ask Mimi?"

"She said she doesnt want to be around needles." Maureen started pouting. " I've been wanting to do this for years."

"What about Sami?" Mickey asked.

"We can take her with us."

"I'm not taking my baby in a place like that." Mickey said firmly.

"It will only take 2 seconds."

"I don't know, Mo."

"It'll spice up the bedroom." Maureen sad with a wink.

"No, it wont….this is what Mark will do, he will scream and start talking about all this health shit and then walk around the room twisting his wedding band... you do know how Joanne will react."

"Yes, she'll get all hostel and then she'll force me to take it out and we'll start arguing and then we wont talk for a few days." Maureen said dryly.

"Exactly."

"But it wont hurt to try it." Maureen said.

"Ok." Mickey said defeated.

(In Roger's car.)

January 7th 5pm Eastern Standard Time.

"I needed this." Roger said puffing on the joint.

"Pass it over here." Collins said with his hand out.

"Lets play a game." Roger said.

"What game?"

"I spy." Roger said sounding like a sports announcer.

"I'll start. I spy something gray."

"The sky?" Roger guessed.

"Good job."

"I spy something green."

"That street sign?"

"You get 50 gold stars,Thomas." Roger said laughing.

"I spy something white." Collins said with a grin.

"Me?"

"That's right."

"You ass."

"You white boy."

"I spy something red and blue."

"Is it those flashing lights behind us?" Collins asked pointing behind him

"Yeah." Roger said sounding surprised.

"I spy a man coming out of the car with the red and blue flashing lights going." Collins said still puffing.

"Is it the guy asking me to roll down my window?"

"Your good, Davis."

(At the loft)

Mark walked in the house and Luke was watching The Real World.

"Hey, kiddo."

"Hey, dad."

"Where's your mom?"

"In you guys room, she just went in there after putting Sam down for her nap."

"Thanks…..should you be watching that show?" Mark asked before entering the bedroom door.

"I guess." Luke said shrugging.

Mark shook his head and walked in the bedroom. Mickey was sitting on the bed., she got up and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"How was your day?"

"It would have been easier without the interns." Mark said laughing.

"I have something I want to show you." Mickey said pushing on the bed.

"What is that?" Mark said raising his eye brows.

Mickey lifted up her shirt and Mark jumped.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Mark screamed.

"I knew you were going to do that?" Mickey said giving him a weak smile.

"Is that normal?" Mark asked as he got up and walked around the room.

"Yes."

"What made you do that?"

"Maureen.." Mickey started.

"Don't say another word, I cant believe she talked you into that."

"It hurts like hell." Mickey complained.

"I bet it does."

They sat in silence for a few.

"I'm going to the bathroom and try to take these out."

"Do you want me to help you?" Mark asked nicely.

"I think I'll do it by myself." Mickey said laughing.

He kissed her on the cheek and they went in the living room. The phone rang.

(At Maureen and Joanne's)

"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?" Joanne asked in a dark tone.

"YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN DYING TO DO THIS."

"AND I KEEP ON TELLING NO, BECAUSE IT GROSSES ME OUT."

"POOKIE!" Maureen whined.

"DON'T POOKIE ME."

"I'M NOT TAKING THEM OUT." Maureen said firmly.

Joanne stormed out of the bedroom and sat on the couch.

"YOU ARE SO CONTROLING."

"You've been saying that for years." Joanne said calmly.

"It's true." Maureen said quietly.

They both laughed.

"I'm sorry I snapped like that, but you know how much I hate that kind of stuff."

"Can I just keep one in?" Maureen asked smiling.

Joanne sighed.

"Ok, you can keep one."

"Choose." Maureen said raising her shirt up.

The phone rang.
