"Uncle Roger!"

Roger turned around and saw Angel running towards him. He smiled and patted her head.

"Hey Angel," he said to her. "When is Thom coming?" he asked.

Angel picked Mimi up out of the stroller and held her. "Oh, his teacher held him back."

Roger froze and looked at Angel, making sure she was just joking around. "Are you serious?"

Angel nodded.

"Damn it, Uncle Collins and I were gonna bring you kids out tonight."

"Yeah, one of the kids in his class had to come and give me a note from him. He says we should just go on ho-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, do you have any idea what your dad would do to me if I let his kid wander around New York alone?"

Angel shook her head.

"Skin me, alive. Then he would use the skin for a new camera bag."

Angel giggled and Roger picked Mimi up. "Come on, we're going in there."

Angel tried to stop Roger, but he refused. He was going to get his godson no matter what. And he didn't care if Thom's teacher was the hottest chick on the planet or if she was a Colonel in the army.

When Roger barged in the door, he froze in his tracks. Thom was sitting at one of the desks in the front of the room. His head resting on the table. Roger's teacher was reading some big book that Roger saw Collins read one time when they were living together.

Thom's head shot up and looked at him.

"Uncle Roger!"

The book was lowered from the face and Roger remained gaping at the teacher. She had long blond hair and blue eyes. She looked German, with some Irish or something mixed in. She had a smile across her face and she stood up.

"Hello."

"Uh…hi."

"I'm Sarah Hong, Thom's teacher," she said confidently. She held out her hand, wanting Roger to shake it. He took it and shook it oddly.

"Hi, look, Thom's uncle and namesake and I are…"

"Uncle Collins is coming over?" Thom asked excited. Roger froze and rolled his eyes. He knelt down to Thom's size.

"Thom, let Uncle Roger handle this," Roger said to him.

"But…"

"Thom, I'll sing when we are leaving here. Do you want me to sing in front of all your friends and hold your hand while prancing out of the school?" Roger asked him.

Thom and Angel quickly shook their heads violently. Mimi squealed. "Then shut up. Or no ice cream tonight."

They all fell silent quickly. Roger quickly returned to the matter at hand. Ms. Hong.

"Look, I don't know what Thom did, but whatever he did, I'm sure he's very very sorry," Roger said to Ms. Hong.

"He tackled another boy and threw him into the floor."

Roger looked at Ms. Hong. "Okay, since when is violence wrong? If it is, someone better tell the president…"

"He then lifted a girl's dress up and started shouting something about her underwear."

At this point, Roger froze and looked at Thom. Thom was playing with his thumb and Roger sighed. He felt the side of his pants vibrate. He pulled out quickly and saw it was Collins calling.

"Hey."

"Hey, where the hell are you guys?" Collins asked him.

"In Thom's classroom. Apparently, he tackled some guy and lifted a girl's dress up."

Collins laughed. "Sounds like he's turning into you."

At that point, Roger realized that Collins was talking pretty loud, and Ms. Hong cocked her eyebrow at him. Roger smiled weakly at her.

"Where are you?"

"Outside the school, where you told me to wait."

Roger sighed.

"Angel will meet you outside."

Angel ran outside the door and left a silent Ms. Hong, Thom, Roger and a burping Mimi.

"So, where are Thom's parents?"

"Oh, it's their ten year anniversary, so they are in like, Tahiti or something weird and warm like that…"

"And you are his uncle?"

"Well, no, they just call me Uncle Roger. I'm really their godfather, except for Mimi's. Collins is her godfather."

Ms. Hong nodded. "And who is coming in."

"Mimi's godfather, Thomas Collins, he's gonna help me watch them while their parents are busy," Roger said.

At that point, Collins and Angel came in. Collins was laughing at something Angel just said and Angel was giggling. Collins looked at Thom and walked over to him, and messed his hair up.

"Your daddy and mommy did not raise you that way, did they?" Collins asked Thom. Thom shook his head. "'Cause that sounds like something Roger would do."

Thom and Angel laughed, Roger blushed and Mimi giggled. Ms. Hong was getting more and more worried or suspicious.

"Well, I assume we can discuss this during the parent teacher conference, right Mr. Davis?" she asked him.

Roger was suddenly shocked. Did he tell her his name? He didn't remember telling her.

"How did you know my name?" he asked her. Ms. Hong smiled.

"Let's just say I know you from a very long time ago," she said. "See you soon Mr. Davis."

"Uh, Collins, could you bring them to the ice cream parlor, I would like to talk to uh…her for a little bit."

Collins smiled. "Sure man."

Collins and the kids rushed out of the room and Ms. Hong sat at her desk. Roger walked towards her. "How do I know you?" he asked her.

Ms. Hong smiled at him. "My sister, she was…a good friend of yours I believe. April?" she said.

Roger froze; he didn't like to remember April. She once was a constant subject, when Mimi was around. Roger's dead girlfriend. Mimi asked about April a lot, but Roger usually tried to get it over with quickly.

"Your April's sister?" he asked her. He remembered April talking about her little sister who she lived with until they started dating. Her sister warned her not to get involved with a rocker, but April didn't care.

Sarah nodded.

"Uh…wow. This is awkward," Roger said.

"She talked about you all the time," Ms. Hong said.

"But wait, Ericcson, that was April's last name. Why is yours Hong?" he asked her.

"I got married," she said. "I notice that you have a ring on your finger."

Roger looked down at the golden ring on his finger. The golden ring that Mimi placed on his finger.

"Oh, well, I just…haven't taken it off yet," he said.

"Oh, divorce?" she asked him.

Roger looked up at her. "No, AIDS."

"Oh. I'm sorry."

Roger grew rapidly uncomfortable. "Well, I'm gonna go now."

"Alright, bye Roger."

"Bye."
