Chapter 14! Enjoy! Oh, and in my last chapter I forgot to say "Thank You!" to all you people who wished me a happy birthday. You all rock my fuzzy pink socks.
And I promised the last chapter would be long, but it kinda wasn't...so I made this one long. Be happy!
Disclaimer: Rent is not mine. It never was and it never will be...wow, that's depressing.
And I also don't own "Tomorrow And The Sun" By Adam Pascal. Gosh, I would love to own Adam Pascal...
Later That Day...
It's been about two hours since Mark's phone call with Audrey. An excited Mimi was talking with Angel on the phone. Mark eavesdropped a little on their conversation and heard something about giving him a make-over for his date. Mark just rolled his eyes and continued with fixing his camera. And Roger claimed to be almost done with his song.
"Alright Ang, love ya too, bye!" Mimi hung up the phone and waddled over to the 'living room' area. "Angel and Collins are coming over to celebrate!" She said happily.
"Celebrate what?" Roger asked, completely oblivious.
"Um, the fact that our little Marky has got himself a hot date next weekend." Mimi said pinching Marks cheek.
Mark pushed her hand off his cheek. "Is this really that big of a deal?" He asked.
"Yes!" Mimi and Roger said in unison.
"Fine..." He said. "I knew I'd never hear the end of this..." He mumbled.
"Oh, and Mark," Mimi said. Mark looked at her. "Me and Angel are giving you a make-over!"
"Don't you mean 'Angel and I'?" Mark corrected.
"Huh?" Mimi was confused.
"'Me and Angel' is a grammar mistake. The real way to say it is 'Angel and I'." He stated.
"Do I look like I care about grammar?" Mimi snapped.
Mark looked at her. "Umm, not really."
"Then don't correct me!" She grabbed the bag of potato chips that was sitting on the coffee table from earlier and she threw a chip at him.
"Hey!" He said as the chip hit him in the face.
"You deserved it!" Mimi stuck her tongue out.
"I'M DONE!" Roger shouted. Mimi and Mark starred at him, blankly. "I'm done with my song!" He said delightedly.
"Oh, that's wonderful baby!" Mimi gave him a quick kiss.
"Good job, man." Mark congratulated.
"Thanks." He said with a big smile.
"I wanna hear it." Mimi said.
"Hear what?" A voice said from the doorway. Mimi, Roger, and Mark all looked in the direction of the door. Angel and Collins had arrived.
"Roger finished his song." Mimi said giving Roger a kiss on the cheek.
"YAY ROGGY!" Angel squealed. She ran over to Roger and gave him a big (suffocating) hug.
"Thanks." Roger said trying to breathe.
"Finally...You've been workin in that damn song forever." Collins said as he gave Roger a pat on the back.
"I'm still waiting to hear it..." Mimi said impatiently.
"Alright. Hold your horses babe." Roger said as he picked up his guitar.
"I have no horses. Now sing it!" She said.
"Okay, it isn't that great...It's called 'Tomorrow And The Sun'...here goes..." He began to play his guitar.
"A second saved, one more to buy your time
Crest of the wave, breaks on you every time, boy
So much to see, it just might make you blind
I look out the bedroom window
Waiting just to see the light
It comes in waves I can't hold on
Locking horns and gun to gun
Tomorrow and the sun
On their own and one to one
She hates today, but wears him way down under
It's underway, tied up tight and on her shoulder
Oh bella please. tell morning that I'm ready
Ready to follow baby
Ooh-hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
It comes in waves I can't hold on
Locking horns and gun to gun
Tomorrow and the sun
On their own and one to one
And in her innocence
She takes him by the hand
And with a passing glance
The sun will rise again
A second saved, one more to buy your time
Crest of the wave, breaks on you every time, boy
So much to see, it just might make you blind
I look out the bedroom window
Waiting just to see the light
Ooh-hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
It comes in waves I can't hold on
Locking horns and gun to gun
Tomorrow and the sun
On their own and one to one
Ooh-ooh..."
He played the last few notes on his guitar and finished.
"That was awesome, babe!" Mimi gave him another kiss.
"Yeah, Rog. That was amazing." Angel said.
"One of your best." Collins added. Mark nodded his head in agreement.
"You guys really think so?" Roger asked.
"Yes!" Everyone replied.
Roger smiled. "Thanks guys. It means a lot."
"So, you're going to play that Friday night?" Collins asked. Roger nodded.
"We should all go." Angel suggested.
"Yeah!" Mimi agreed. Mark cleared his throat and pointed to the splint on his ankle.
"Oh yeah..." Collins said. "What are we gonna do with cripple boy over there?" Everyone laughed except Mark.
"Not funny." Mark said.
"Chill crippy baby. I'm just playin." Collins said trying not to laugh. Mark mumbled something that no one could hear.
"Mark can come too. The club we're playing at will have everyone seated at tables, no worries."
"HUAKUNA MATATA!" Mimi and Angel screamed. The boys looked at them like they were complete nutjobs.
"What?" Mark said.
"Don't ask." Mimi warned.
"Yeah, it's a long and stupid story." Angel added.
"I want to hear the story." Collins said.
"No, you don't." Mimi said.
"Yes we do." Mark and Roger said at the same time.
"Fine." Angel gave in. "It was back when Mimi and I were living together, Mimi just got her HIV test back...
(Flashback)
Mimi flipped open her test results.
Mariana Marquez:
HIV: positive.
Mimi threw the piece of paper on the floor and broke down in tears. Angel placed a comforting hand on the young latinas back. "It's going to be fine, Meems." Angel said sympathetically.
"How are things supposed to be okay, huh?" Mimi sobbed. "I'm friggen 17 years old and friggen HIV positive. My life is over..."
"Mimi, calm down, just because you have HIV doesn't mean your life is over...Take me for example, I'm positive and it doesn't stop me from living my life...No day but today, baby." Mimi looked up at Angel. Her eyes were all red and puffy from crying.
"I guess you do have a point..." Mimi admitted.
"Yes, I do...Just remember, 'Huakuna Matata'." Angel said.
"'Huakuna Matata'? Like from The Lion King?" Mimi asked.
"Yeah, That's a really great movie."
"It is...Can we watch it?"
"Sure we can!" Angel said happily.
(End Flashback)
"And so we searched the whole apartment for that damn VHS tape and when we finally found the movie we watched it about 15 times." Angel said.
"Actually it was 17 times." Mimi corrected.
"15, 17, same thing." Angel said.
"No, it's a 2 number difference." Mimi said.
"2? I thought it was 3..."Angel said, lost.
"Angel, it's a 2 number difference." Mark said.
"Wow, I can't count." Angel giggled.
"Sorry baby, but you can't." Collins said. Everyone laughed.
The Next Day (Actually morning)...
Roger was sleeping peacefully when he felt something hit him hard on the head. "OUCH!"He yelled. He opened his eyes and saw Mimi standing over him with a pillow in her hand.
"Get up!" She hit him again.
"Ow!, Mimi stop, I'm up!" He said sitting up. He glanced over at the clock. 8:38am. "Why are you waking me up so early?" He whined laying back down on the bed.
Mimi hit him on his stomach with the pillow. "Because we have a doctors appointment for my check up today!" She said.
"Oh, that's today?" He asked getting up.
"Yes, genius. It's today." She said in a "Duh" kind of voice. (A/N: Did that make sense? Oh well.)
"Alright, When is it at, again?" He asked standing up.
"9:15 "She said.
"Okay, I'll be ready in about ten minutes." And with that said, Roger ran into the bathroom.
Roger was ready by 9am, and the couple rushed to the hospital so they wouldn't be late for their appointment. The two made it to the hospital just in time. The took a seat in the waiting area and waited to be called in.
A nurse came into the waiting room. She was different from the nurse from the past two visits. She was blonde and she looked like she was in her thirties. "Miss Marquez?" The nurse asked as she looked around the room.
Mimi and Roger stood up. "I'm right here." The nurse gestured for Mimi to follow her. They were led to the same room they were in on their last appointment. Mimi took a seat on the stretcher and Roger took his usual spot in the chair. Dr. Pascal came in a few moments later.
"Nice to see you two again." The doctor said as he shook both their hands.
"Nice to see you too." Mimi said with a smile.
"So, would you like to find out the gender of your babies today?" Dr. Pascal asked. Mimi nodded eagerly. "Great." The doctor prepared her for her sonogram with the jelly stuff like last time. And soon the picture of the babies was on the screen of the monitor.
"Let's see..." Dr. Pascal took a close look at the screen. "It looks like both the babies are..."
Cliffhanger! Muhahaha. Yes, I know I'm evil. This chapter was pretty random, with the whole "Huakuna Matata" thing. Well, we all need some randomness once in a while, Right?
Anywho, I'll try my very very best to get the next chapter posted up tomorrow...Only if you all review! Perrrtty please?
I love youhh!
