I wanted to update this story. It may not turn out the way I wanted but…whatever! I just love Boho kids! And to those who caught the Carmen/Camera thing, good job!

Disclaimer: If I did own RENT, the original cast would be tied up in my closet and be forced to sing the whole thing whenever I want! That was really creepy, wasn't it? o.O

"When are Mommy and Daddy coming to get us?" little Tony Dumott-Schunard Collins asked his Aunt Mo.

"Tomorrow, sweetie. You and Maddie are staying with us tonight! Hey, Jo, what is their bedtime?!" Maureen shouted so her wife could hear her in the other half of the apartment.

"Eightish!" was the reply. Maureen pouted, and then turned her attention back to Tony. "Why don't I go make some popcorn and you go pick out a movie to watch? Then you can stay up late!" She really wanted to spend more time with the little kids. Tony just smiled and nodded vigorously.

After the popcorn was popped and "The Nightmare before Christmas" was in the VCR, Maureen was on the couch with the five year old snuggled into her lap. They were in the middle of singing along to "What's This," Maddie came out of the spare room with Joann, showing off her gleaming red nails.

"Ooh! Aunt Jo can you paint my nails?" Tony whined.

Joann chuckled and replied "Sure, Tony! You sure are your mother's son!" Tony jumped up and ran to the other room. Maureen slapped the spot next to her and told Maddie to "park it." As they were watching Lock, Stock, and Barrel sing about "Kidnapping the Sandy Claws," out ran the little boy with his nails painted--

"Sparkly blue!" Maddie said looking at her little brothers nails.

"Just like Mama's!" he said proudly. Then they all squished on the small couch to finish watching the love bloom between Jack and Sally.

(Over at Collins and Angel's)

After taking care of the scratches on Collins back from Angel's nails, the lovers were snuggling on the couch eating Ice Cream and watching Law and Order.

"Honey, I'm telling you, you look like the guy who plays Detective Green!" Angel argued. They had been debating this for the entire first half of the episode.

"No way, Ange! I'm way better looking than him," he said through a bite of mint ice cream.

"Well, I can't argue with that! Baby, you've got something right here," he said and leaned in and kissed Collins, getting the ice cream on the corner of his mouth. (A/N: Angel is not in drag here. I'll let you know when that changes!) Collins managed to set both bowls down and wrap his arms around Angel's neck. He lowered them back, with Angel on top, when the phone rang.

"Damn,' he mumbled.

"Let the machine get it," Angel whispered and he lowered back down to kiss him. The message rang out in the small flat.

"This is Tom, Angel, Maddie, and Tony Dumott-Schunard Collins, and we're not here right now," Angel's voice was then replaced by Collins's. "We're probably at Mimi and Roger's or with that albino pumpkinhead! Love ya, Mark! Or I'm in jail with Mo and Angel and Joann are coming to bail us out!" Four different tones of laughter were heard. "Either way, we can't get to the phone, so please leave a message."

"Guys I know you're there!" It was Mark. The urgency in his voice made them lose their focus on what they were doing. Or about to do.

"Um, Carmen's in labor and I can't reach anyone else. We'll be at the one on 14th and 32nd. Please call everyone else!" The line went dead but the two were already in their bedroom getting dressed.

(At Mimi and Roger's)

The pounding on the door awoke the little four month-old, Izzie, which, in turn, woke up Mimi.

"Roger," she said poking him. "Wake up. Go get the door!"

He woke up, still kind of asleep, and went to the door.

"Who the hell felt the need to wake me up at 3 in the morning?" he mumbled angrily.

He opened the door to see a sleepy Collins and a bouncy Angel.

"You rang?" he groaned.

"Carmen's having the baby!" Angel screamed. Roger jumped at the loudness of the usually quiet drag queen. Mimi came running out of the other room with Izzie, who she handed to Roger so she could jump up and down and squeal with her best friend.

"Oh my God!" she exclaimed. "Come help me get dressed!" And with that they dashed off to the bedroom leaving a stunned Roger and Collins behind.

"Give me the baby and go get ready yourself, Emoboy," Collins said extending his arms for Izzie.

He shook his head. "I heard what you did when Tony was little. Angel said you almost dropped him!"

"I caught him!" he said, defensively.

"By his ankle! No way will that happen to Izzie," he trudged out of the room with his child in his arms.

"Make the pain stop," Carmen moaned. She had been in labor for eighteen hours and still had no baby. Mark smoothed her hair soothingly and kissed her forehead.

"Shh, it'll be over soon," he whispered. Mimi came into the room, her face full of concern.

"How are you, honey?" she asked tenderly. Over the years, Carmen grew very close with the boho girls. Including Angel.

"It hurts," she groaned again.

"Oh, chica, it's all worth it in the end. Trust me," she said rubbing her friend's hand.

After five more excruciating hours, Carmen had finally given birth while her husband held her hand and tried to soothe her.

Collins, Angel, Mimi, Roger, Joann, Maureen, and the children were sitting anxiously in the waiting room, when Mark came out of the delivery room, glowing with pride.

"It's a boy," he said with tears staining his pale skin.

Mark was surrounded by his friends, two of whom were beaming with happiness, when the doctor came in, his face solemn.

Oh no! I don't think I can allow anything that bad to happen to Marky. I would feel like super guilty! So, yeah. Please review! I have (looks in fridge) Vitamin Water. (Try it!) Shameless plug. Oh and that thing when Collins dropped Tony, it happened to me! I was in my high chair when I managed to climb out and before my head hit the gorund my mom caught me. By my ankle.
