Chapter Seven

A few hours after Mimi's talk with Angel Mark had left which meant

Mimi and Roger were alone in the loft.

"Hey Rog," Mimi said sitting down next to Roger on the couch.

Rogers was playing his guitar and Mimi was drinking a cup of tea. "Can I talk to you?"

"Sure," Roger said. He set his guitar down and turned to his girlfriend.

"I've just been thinking. What if our baby ends up HIV positive?" Mimi said. Roger sighed and looked at his girlfriend.

"Then we teach it to live its life like there's no day but today."

"But Roger if it does have HIV it will be us that gave it to it.

I don't know if I can deal with that."

"Is this your way of telling me you don't want to keep the baby?"

"Of course I want to keep the baby. I just can't help feeling selfish."

"Mimi, the fact that you're so worried about this proves that you're not selfish."

"You never cease to amaze me Roger Davis." Mimi layed down on the couch and put her head in Roger's lap.

"I know," Roger said smiling. Mimi hit his arm playfully.

"You're so full of yourself." She said rolling her eyes.

When Mark returned to loft he saw Roger and Mimi sleeping on the couch. Mark Quietly got out his camera and turned it on. He zoomed in on the sleeping couple and quietly began narrating.

"Close in on Mimi and Roger," he whispered. "The soon to be parents of a baby due on July 6th, 1991." Mark looked at the two of them. Mimi's head was still on Roger's lap. Her hand was placed on her stomach and her mouth was open slightly. Roger was sitting, his legs were hanging off the couch limply, his head was tilted back, and a quiet snore escaped from his mouth. Mark smiled and then continued filming.

Roger heard the whir of the camera running and slowly opened his eyes.

"Mark? What are you doing?" Roger asked sleepily.

"Just filming."

"You're filming me and Mimi sleeping?"

"Yeah."

"You're weird," Roger said. He slowly slipped out from under Mimi being careful not to wake her.

"So how do you feel about the baby Roger?" Mark asked still filming.

"You know, I was about to ask you the same question."

"What?" Mark said putting his camera down and turning it off.

"Well, you've been so careful to leave your opinion out of everything concerning the baby. But since you're my best friend I figure you've got to have some opinions."

"Come on Roger, it doesn't matter what I think."

"I just want to know your thoughts it's no different from you wanting to know mine."

"Honestly? I um don't think you two are ready for this."

"What?"

"I'm just not so sure you and Mimi are responsible enough."

"Oh thanks for the support," Roger said angrily.

"I'm sorry Roger you asked for my opinion." Mark said raising his voice.

"Yes and it's great to know what my best friend really thinks about me," Roger said sarcastically. All the yelling in the loft woke Mimi up. She sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"What's going on?" Mimi asked.

"Nothing babe go back to sleep," Roger said.

"Well then I guess I'm a terrible friend then," Mark said continuing their argument.

"I guess so," Roger said. He grabbed his leather jacket, threw it on, and walked out the door.

"Roger!" Mimi yelled but when he didn't respond she turned to Mark. "What happened?" She asked him.

"Nothing Meems everything's fine." Mark said. There was still a hint of annoyance and anger in his voice. Then, he grabbed his camera and walked out the door.

"Mark!" Mimi yelled, but once again she was ignored. She sighed and got up off the couch. "I'm sure I don't even want to know," Mimi said to herself.

"Jeez, what happened?" Mimi looked up and saw Joanne and Maureen standing in the doorway of the loft holing two large brown paper bags.

"Hell if I know. What's that?"

"We brought Chinese, but then again we assumed all of you would be here." Joanne said.

"Well I guess we could see if Angel and Collins are home," Maureen suggested. Mimi walked over to the phone and Maureen and Joanne set their bags down on the table. When Mimi got off the phone she said,

"Well Angel's there she said she'd be right over."

"Well I guess it'll just be us girls tonight," Maureen said excitedly. Mimi giggled. She couldn't remember the last time it had just been her, Angel, Maureen, and Joanne.

When Angel arrived at the loft they took all the food out and put it on the table.

"Plates?" Joanne asked.

"Plates," Mimi said. "You know I doubt any of them are clean."

"You know what fuck plates let's just eat!" Maureen said.

All four of them each grabbed a fork and started eating the food right out of the cartons. Mark and Roger returned to the loft about ten minutes later. Both of them were surprised by what they found.

Mimi and Joanne were sitting on the couch, Angel was on the floor, and Maureen was sitting on the small round coffee table. They were still, eating, talking and giggling.

"Woah hi." Mark said stopping by the door to set down his camera.

"Awww did you guys make up?" Mimi asked smiling since she already knew the answer.

"Want some food?" Maureen asked.

"I'm gonna have to pass on that one," Mark said. Roger Walked over to his girlfriend and kissed her. She stood up, he sat down, and she sat on his lap.

"So everything's okay with you and Mark right?" Mimi asked Roger.

"Yeah everything's fine."

"Good. So are you sure you don't want some food?" Mimi asked

offering the carton of fried rice she was currently eating out of.

"I'm sure." Roger said wondering how many of them had eaten out of that. "So what's the deal with the-?"

"With the what?" Mimi asked.

"No plates." Mimi laughed.

"See what you miss when you leave in a huff without telling your girlfriend who is carrying your baby might I add what is going on or where you're going?"

"I'm sorry."

"That's okay I just wanted to say that. Are you sure you don't want some Chinese food? It's tasty," Mimi said waving the carton in his face.

"Yes I'm sure."

"Are you sure you're sure?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure you're sure you're sure?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure you're-"

"Mimi!"

"Okay done now."
