A/N: Sorry it took a while. Been kinda busy lately with Thanksgiving & all...So here's chapt. 14
Later that afternoon, at the cabin, Maureen is laying in her empty, taking a nap, when she feels a warm hand on her shoulder, causing her to wake. When she looks up, she's slightly surprise to who she sees.
"Joanne?" Joanne nods. Maureen rises up on the bed with a smile. "I didn't think you were coming back so soon, with the way you stormed off last night." She looks Joanne up and down, seeing that she's wearing blue jeans, a gray sweater and her precious doc martins. "I see that you've switched back to you old wardrobe."
Joanne slightly frowns. "I guess you're disappointed."
Maureen moves closer to Joanne smiling. "I love it. Although the other look was a turn on, but this is the Pookie that I love." She holds Joanne's hand, rubbing it with her thumb. "Look, I'm sorry. I understand that there's a situation with your sister and I should be more caring. And I'm sorry that I was kinda flirting with Claire."
Joanne cocks her eyebrow. "Kinda?"
Maureen rolls her eyes. "Okay, I was definitely flirting with her, and I didn't see how it irritated you until I kinda saw you doing the same last night."
Joanne sighs. "I'm sorry to. I know I shouldn't be wrapped up in my sister personal life. A bad habit that I need to break. And I didn't to make you jealous by showing off in Claire's presence and I know why you flirted. You're such a breast person."
Maureen grins, leaning closer to Joanne's face, lips barely touching. "Well, you sure are an ass person Ms. Jefferson."
Joanne grins, smacking Maureen on the ass. "I sure am, why else would I be dating you." She jokes and gives Maureen a passionate kiss. "I've missed you Honeybear."
Maureen lightly kisses Joanne lips. "I've missed you too."
Roger walks out of the bathroom from his shower and goes into his room, coming to a screeching halt.
"Mimi?"
Mimi slightly smiles, while sitting on the bed. "Hi Roger."
Roger smiles himself, glad to see his girlfriend safe. "I've been looking for you all morning. I wanted to know if you were okay, and the baby."
Mimi places a hand on her stomach. "We're fine."
A silence
"Why didn't tell me?"
Mimi looks down, knowing the question was going to come up sooner or later.
"I was afraid."
Roger becomes surprised by the response that Mimi gave, and starts feeling guilt. "Afraid of me?"
Mimi looks up at Roger. "No, I can never be scared of you Roger."
Roger becomes relieved and takes a seats next Mimi on the bed. "Then why were you afraid?"
Tears begin to sting Mimi's eyes as she looks down again, then back at Roger. "I was afraid, that I wouldn't be a good enough mother to our baby. With this disease, we give our child more risk of leaving her without a family, cause everyday we're fighting to live. I'm afraid of leaving our child without a family."
Roger wraps his arms around Mimi as she begins to cry, tears falling from his eyes as well. "Mimi, no matter what happens, our child will have a family. We'll raise this baby and we'll give her the best life we can possibly give her."
Mimi looks up at Roger and smiles. "Her?"
Roger blushes with a slight smirk. "I've been thinking, and I'm kinda hoping for a girl." Mimi nods with a kiss.
Jolene walks into her room, seeing Mark already woke up again from his long night, as he's getting dressed. Before she could say anything, she hears moaning coming from the next room and they both look at the wall, then at each other.
Jolene presents an awkward chuckle. "Sounds like Maureen and Joanne made up."
Mark nods, while he's tying his shoe. "Yeah, sure sounds like it."
Jolene bites her bottom lip, not sure to what to say at the moment and mumbles the first thing that comes to mind.
"I'm not Maureen."
Mark looks up, not sure what Jolene said. "What?"
Jolene sighs and walks closer to Mark. "I'm not Maureen. She's an amazing person, but I'd never cheat on you."
Mark shrugs. "How do I know that? How do I know that if Marco or some other hot guy comes by and tries to sweep you off your feet that you won't give in?"
Jolene looks over to the side. "Because-"
"Because what?" Mark asks cutting Jolene off, letting his frustration out. "I really want to know. Am I gonna wake up to many of mornings with you not there beside me, or you canceling dates on me because you've made other plans? So tell me Jolene, because what?"
"Because I love you!"
Mark and Jolene stop and stare at each other, both shocked to what just flew from Jolene's lips. Mark walks up to Jolene.
"What'd you say?"
Jolene takes a deep breath, before she repeats her words. "I love you. And I advise you to take it because I don't say it that often."
Mark places a tender kiss on Jolene's lips. "I love you too, but I don't want to be hurt again." He walks out the room, leaving Jolene alone.
A/N: MoJo's back, and everyone can hear. lol Roger's understandng Mimi better. Malene?(I can think of a name for them, Malene sounds too much like Maureen. Coincidence?)lol Anyways, question of the day, Will Mark & Jolene get back together?
