A/N: Okay so I know I said I was gonna do the chapters by months now and I will, but just not this one because I obviously shouldn't do that after the way I ended the last chapter. Spanish translations are at the bottom.

Chapter ten

"Oh Mimi. ¿Cómo acabó por usted aquí?" Clara Marquez said looking around the loft. Mimi was confused. She hadn't expected her mother to come here in the first place, but when she saw her face she had expected her to be happy to see her.

"¿Qué?"

"Usted dijo que usted obtenía su espalda de la vida juntos."

"I am!" Mimi yelled. She was very angry at her mother. This was not what she had expected. She had expected at least a hug. This was unbelievable. Her friends sat there and watched. Angel, being the only one that could completely understand everything they were saying wanted to step in and try to get Mimi to calm down, but didn't because she knew that she wasn't a part of this. This was their problem.

"Alguna vida. Usted se sienta aquí en sus muebles viejos en sus ropas rotas con ningún calor y apenas cualquier alimento. Sí usted vive una vida buena. Usted podría haber tenido más. Usted podría haber tenido más si usted permaneció conmigo."

Suddenly Mimi understood why her mother wasn't overjoyed at the sight of seeing her daughter. She finally understood that her mother was still upset about the night she left. She finally understood that her mother didn't realize how happy Mimi was.

"Mama," Mimi said putting her hand on her mom's shoulder. "Don't be mad."

"How can you expect me not to be? You leave out of the blue and I don't hear from you until three years later! You would have been better off with me."

"I was dying! Muero. Please Mama try to understand. Without these people I would be dead."

"Entonces dé graciaslos para mí." Mimi watched with tears welling up in her eyes as her mother started to walk away.

"Espera de mamá. No vaya, yo le pierdo."

"I miss you too."

"Then stay. Please Mama don't be mad." Mimi said she willed her mother to turn around and then smiled when she finally did.

"How could I be mad at you?" her mom said pulling her into a hug. They stayed like that for a while both of them crying happy to finally hold each other in their arms once again.

"Mama," Mimi said when they broke the hug. "I want you to meet my friends," She said grabbing her mother's hand and bringing her farther into the loft. "This is Joanne, Maureen, Mark, Collins, my boyfriend Roger, and of course you know Angel."

"Ooh boyfriend," Clara said raising her eyebrows at her daughter. "Is he good to you?" Mimi looked at Roger apologetically and then said,

"Mama stop, your embarrassing me!".

"¿La multa, pero en por lo menos me dice, es él bueno en la cama?" Mimi and Angel immediately started laughing.

"Mama!" Mimi said. She was surprised that her mother would ask that.

"Come on you can tell me," Clara said.

"Yeah come on Meems I want to know," Angel said raising her eyebrows. Mimi laughed.

"All right, you really want to know?"

"Yes!"

"Maldiga bueno."

"Okay, confused," Maureen said raising her hand.

"Oh it's nothing we were just talking about Roger," Mimi said. The musician blushed. Awww it's okay baby," Mimi said sitting on the couch behind her boyfriend and putting her head on his shoulder. "We said nothing bad I promise."

"Yeah that's what worries me," Roger responded. Mimi laughed and kissed Roger on the cheek. Then she stood up and put her hands on her stomach.

"Hungry," she said sticking her lower lip out.

"Then eat." Roger said.

"Oh, right like we have food."

"We do have food. We have all the food that I bought you today."

Mimi continued to pout and rub her stomach. Then she kissed Roger tenderly.

"Please," She said, but when he looked away she kissed him again, this time slipping him a little tongue. "Please," She said again.

"Fine," Roger said getting up. "Who wants to come?"

"Me!" said all five of their friends at the same time. They all got up and put on their coats. Mimi grabbed her mother's hands and said,

"Come on. You should come too it will be fun." Her mother nodded and all of them walked down to the Life Café together.

When they got there they all sat down and ordered their drinks. Most of them all ordered alcoholic drinks except for Mimi. Her mother watched her daughter suspiciously. Even though Mimi was only 20 her mother knew that when Mimi was 17 she drank beer and she had expected her daughter to order something alcoholic. She sat there as she watched her daughter try to make up her mind about what she wanted to eat before finally saying,

"Mimi, are you pregnant?" Mimi smiled.

"How did you know?"

"I'm your mother, I know everything."
