I was woken up by Roger, he rubbed my cheek. "Good morning sweetie."  Roger whispered. I groaned because I couldn't remember what happened.

Roger was holding a tray of tea and a sandwich. He had prepared breakfast for me to comfort me from the pain.

I opened my eyes and sat up. "How do you feel now?" Roger asked in a whisper. "Better, what have you got there?" I asked with a yawn. Roger sat down next to the edge of the bed and put the food tray in front of me. "I made you some goodies, are you able to eat?"  Roger asked with a cute smile.

I nodded, "Yes I am hungry now." I laughed. Roger got up and went into the kitchen. I was eating in bed, the doorbell rang.

Freddie, Brian and Deaky were at the door. "Oh hello friends!" Roger said amazed. Freddie gave Roger a hug, "Hey Darling, we are also coming to visit you. We felt really bad about what happened yesterday." Freddie said as he took off his hat.

"It's okay, Antonia is feeling a little better. Look, she's eating in bed. Come on, she'll like it when she sees you all."  Roger said, he walked back to the bedroom where I was eating in bed.

I was stirring my tea when I saw Freddie Brian and Deaky. "What a surprise!" I said excitedly. "Hello my sweet darling, we just wanted to know how you were."  Freddie said. I blushed, they all looked at me.

"Roger, do you remember that man who was so weird to you last month?"  Freddie asked. Roger thought for a second and then remembered, "Yeah! That bastard!" He said angrily.

Freddie laughed and took a sip of his tea. "Well, he got fired. He was a con man, now they are looking for a new manager for us." Freddie said. Brian clapped his legs, "Another new one?"  Brian said with an irritated face.  "What's wrong with it? Did you like that guy?" Freddie said.

"Well no, he was strict. But it drives me crazy when a new manager keeps coming." Brian said. Freddie slapped Brian on the back. "We'll work it out, we'll be fine Darling."

"We'll wait, as long as our new album comes out in March." Roger said with a yawn. "Otherwise I don't use my fingers for nothing to get a good bass line in the music." Deaky started whining too. I laughed, "You all deserve good wages." I said.

My breakfast is finished. Roger picked up the tray from my lap and headed for the kitchen. "Thanks darling!" I screamed. Roger shouted back, "You're welcome darling!" He laughed.

It was almost 1:00 in the afternoon and I was still in bed.  Freddie and the Brian and Deaky all sat in chairs in our bedroom. Roger was reading a magazine in bed. Silence reigned.

Brian picked his curls and started to cough. Deaky stood and stretched.  "Where is the bathroom?" Deaky asked.  Roger pointed to the door behind where everyone was sitting. Deaky hopped to the toilet.

Roger went to the kitchen to get a bag.  "I want to show you something." Roger said. I took my hand behind the pillow and saw what Roger was up to. "What have you got there, Darling?" Freddie asked.

Roger took the baby bag from the basement to show Freddie Brian and Deaky. Coincidentally, Deaky just got out of the toilet and leaned back in his chair. Roger took a teddy bear from the bag. "Look how cute this one is for the baby." Roger said with rosy cheeks.

Freddie took the bear in his arms. "Aw, I want kids too!" He said. Brian grinned. "What are you laughing?"  Freddie asked irritably. "You called your cats children, didn't you?" Brian said with a laugh. Freddie rolled his eyes and looked away.
