Davis The Daddy
Chapter 8:
Mimi stood in front of Roger, down on his knee, with her hand over her mouth. Roger looked into her deep brown eyes and stroked his thumb over her hand. Mimi's hand hid her small smile, and suddenly her eyes filled with tears and she slowly and gently nodded for a few seconds before whispering. "Yes." Roger's face lit up.
"Really?" He asked excitedly. She nodded some more while she cried
"Yeah!" and dove into an embrace, burying her face into his chest. Roger squeezed her tight and kissed the top of her head as his eyes became slightly glazed with tears. They pulled away and Roger gave her a small, loving kiss.
"I'm sorry, I don't have a ring. I…" Mimi kissed him again.
"It's fine."
"I'll get you one, I'll get you a perfect one. You can come with me if you want." Mimi smiled.
"Rog, you don't have a job ring's are exp…." She began saying.
"I'm gonna get you a ring." He said firmly, but playfully. Mimi giggled.
"I love you." She said.
"I love you. Thank you Mimi for everything. For forgiving me, for being with and getting engaged to a dumbass like me." Roger said genuinely but Mimi laughed.
"Thank you for everything Rog."
"I promise, I'm not gonna fuck this up." Roger replied stroking her cheek with his hand. Mimi pulled his hand off and interlaced their fingers, and kissing him, letting their tongues roll around in each other's mouths, lips diving into each other's. Mimi pulled away.
"So when are you moving in?" She asked.
"When do you want me here?"
"Well if we get to do this all the time, I want you here as soon as possible." She said seductively smiling. Roger laughed lightly and said
"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow." Mimi nodded and kissed him quickly one more time.
"Goodnight." She said.
"Night." Roger said as he walked out the door.
3 Days Later
Roger rolled his monstrous suitcase behind him, his guitar case in his other hand. Mark followed along carrying a duffel in his right arm and his camera, filming in his left. Collins carried another duffel and followed the little parade. Roger knocked on Mimi's apartment door. She swung it open. "Hey roomie." She said kissing him quickly and then taking his guitar case from his hand.
"Hey." Collins and Mark filed in putting the bags in their hands down.
"Okay so I cleared you a drawer in the bathroom, and a shelf in the shower, some closet space, and some dresser drawers."
"Cool, thanks Meems." Roger replied rolling his suitcase towards the bedroom. "Thanks guys!" Roger called to Collins and Mark. They waved and then stayed chatting with Mimi for a few more minutes before heading out. Mimi dragged the 2 duffels to the bedroom and sat on the floor, helping Roger take clothes out of his suitcase. "Where's Soph?"
"Date with Ethan to the park." Mimi said. Roger chuckled.
"I'll have to meet this boy." He said. They kept on unpacking and talking.
"Oh my god I can't believe you still have these!" Mimi exclaimed, pulling out Roger's good old plaid pants. He laughed
"I don't wear them, just kind of momentos." Mimi smiled and examined the pants, lost in memories. She suddenly got up and walked over to her nightstand drawer and pulled out a small, worn, white, wax stick. "The candle?" Roger asked. Mimi nodded, grinning. Roger stood up and placed his hand over Mimi's on the candle. "Whoa." He said. They both could feel the magic from that faithful night rushing through their veins, and pumping into their hearts.
"Yeah." Mimi whispered. Roger kissed her like he had never kissed her before. His hand touched her cheek lightly, and his lips slowly, gracefully, and lovingly met with hers. He slowly and gently massaged her lips with his, letting his tongue run through her mouth. The passion in the kiss was undeniable, but it was slow, and romantic, and sweet. Mimi pulled away and giggled softly. She put away the candle and they continued unpacking. When they were done Mimi made some quick sandwiches and they settled on the couch, watching TV. "So um the wedding…" Mimi began to say, and Roger's face lit up.
"Oh, I have…" he said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a small black box, opening it, revealing a simple silver band with a single diamond.
"Rog I thought me refusing to go with you to pick one out was enough of a hint that I don't need a ring. This is expensive Rog, please take it back." She said.
"No, I want you to wear it Meems." Roger slid the ring gently over her finger. She sighed. "Thanks for being so joyous." Roger said sarcastically.
"Rog I love it, I just, uh it's expensive Rog."
"So?" Roger asked, kissing her neck.
"So I don't remember you being so selfless."
"Mhmm." He replied, continuing to kiss her neck and jaw. "What were you saying about the wedding?" He asked quietly.
"I was wondering if a small one would be okay, just me, you, Sophie, the gang." Roger pulled away
"You don't want your family to fly here for it?" He asked. She shook her head.
"I mean I was serious when I said I wanted us all to go back their soon, maybe just officially get married with a very small party, and when we go there they'll throw us a big one I just want to be yours as soon as possible." She said. "You can invite your family if you w…"
"Well my parents would freak if they weren't there, and I'll invite my sister and her husband." Mimi nodded.
"So it's settled." She said happily, clapping her hands and grinning, falling into Roger's lap.
1 MONTH LATER
"I now pronounce you husband and wife." The priest said. The guest list was exactly as Mimi and Roger had planned, and they were all gathered in Central Park. It was late November and a gentle, dusty, powdery snow was falling gracefully from a pale blue sky, and a small layer blanketed the ground. Mimi was wearing a white dress, with a warm long sleeved white sweater and stockings. Roger was in a suit and everybody else was in nice clothes with jackets as they watched Mimi and Roger share their first kiss as husband and wife. Sophie cheered and Roger's Mom gripped the small girl's hand, totally in love with her Granddaughter. Roger's sister Pamela and her husband Chris were there too, along with Mimi's brother Ricardo (Ricky) who had moved to the states only a few weeks ago with his pregnant wife Carmen. The bohos clapped and smiled, and Mark of course filmed, with his new girlfriend, Jaclyn, whom me had met right after helping Roger move in, by his side. Jaclyn had been warmly welcomed into the boho family.
Everything was right in the world when Roger took Mimi for their honeymoon to see the sunsets in Santa Fe, and when them and Sophie went to Spain the next Spring, and when Sophie "married" Ethan in his backyard. Mimi found out she was pregnant again over the Summer, the baby had been conceived during one of their romantic nights in Spain. Mark proposed to Jaclyn the next October and they had a New Year's wedding. On February 16th Mimi and Roger welcomed their son Tyler Anthony Davis into the world. Maureen and Joanne adopted a 4 year old named Jennifer Alyssa around the same time. Jaclyn and Mark had their son Lucas Kevin Cohen in July. Collins began dating a nice man named Brendon around the time Lucas was born and the big boho family once again felt complete. Unfortunately 8 months later Brendon and Collins were driving in the city one night and suffered a major crash caused by a drunk driver. Brendon died on the spot, but Collins lasted longer being pronounced dead at 7:03 the next morning. It took a toll on the family but they managed to stick it out together for 15 more years until Mimi met her untimely death from AIDS related complications. Roger obviously was struck the most, and he never did fall in love again, but he held his family together and lived long enough to watch both his daughter and Tyler graduate college, and Sophie get married, meeting his death 10 years after Mimi's. The family was a strong one, and lived in memory of all of their friends, they had all lived good, fulfilling lives and they knew that Mimi and Roger had 2 wonderful kids to be proud of. Even during the short time that Roger was gone during Sophie's life the family was still happy, just kind of empty all the time. And that emptiness was filled, and lives changed forever the day Roger decided to be Davis the Daddy.
