After a few days me and Andy sent Barry and Robin on the tour on their own. We stayed with Maurice who didnt seem to improve at all. But one day i went to get me and Andy drinks while he was asleep. When i entered Maurice was beginning to wake. I quickly placed the cups down before running over to him.
"Mo, your okay" I said wrapping him into a hug
"I'll always be okay" Maurice replied
"Mo i have news" I said becoming suddenly serious
"What?" Maurice asked
"Were having twins, a girl and a boy" I replied realising i couldnt keep it a secret any more
Maurice began celebrating while hugging me. Andy jolted awake at the sound of Maurices voice.
"Mo" Andy cheered jumping up "I'll go call the others"
Andy rushed from the room leaving Maurice to pull me into a kiss. When we parted i dug my hand into my pocket and pulled out the box with the braclet in.
"Mo i bought this for you a few weeks ago" I said "I saw it and thought of you"
I let Maurice open it as his mouth dropped open.
"Its beautiful" Maurice said putting it on
He then lent up and kissed my nose. Maurice wouldnt take his eyes off the braclet which told me he liked it. Andy then came running back in informing us Barry and Robin were catching the first plane to us.
"What are we calling the twins?" Maurice asked
"You choose the boy, i'll pick the girl" I replied
Maurice just nodded before beginning to think of a name. I did the same as Andy blurted the most stupidest suggestions.
"What about Ziggy Mercury for a boy?" Maurice asked
"Yeah I like that" I replied "What about Willow Lennon for a girl?"
"Yes" Maurice agreed
Then Barry and Robin came running in, wrapping their brother in a hug.
"Mo your okay" Barry cheered
Robin just cried, happy his twin was alive. Then a doctor entered to take some tests. Luckily Maurice hadn't broken any bones, he just had to take it easy now he had a concussion.
"When can I go back to performing?" Maurice asked the doctor
"Give It some time first" he replied "About a month, then see how you feel"
Maurice seemed a bit deflated by that but at least he was released from hospital. We headed strait to the airport to head to America. During the plane journey Maurice slept while me and Andy chatted and Barry and Robin went over the set list. When the plane landed and we got to the hotel my room phone rang.
"Hello, Rosalind Mercury" I said
"Ros It's Linda" she said "The baby's not Barry's"
"What? Who's is it?" I asked
"It's Maurices"
My heart stopped as I forced myself not to faint. This can't be happening.
"And I'm further in the I thought" she added
"How long?" I asked
"5 months" she replied
So Maurice didn't cheat on me. It was before that.
"Are you going to tell him?" I asked
"No, he's already having a child with his fiancé. And plus I don't want Barry to find out" Linda replied "If it comes to it I will just say it's Barry's or not say anything at all"
"Okay" i said
At that moment Maurice entered
"Anyway Linda I must go Maurice needs looking after" I said watching him stumble round like he was drunk
We said our goodbyes before hanging up.
"How's Linda?" He asked practically falling onto the bed
"She's fine. She was just calling to see how you were" I lied sitting down next to Maurice
He wrapped me in a hug and began kissing me over and over.
"Mo your drunk" I said smelling nothing but alcohol
"Yeah" he said like a five year old
"Maurice you can't drink. It's not helping the concussion" I said pushing him away from me
"You now should sleep yourself sober and NOT by any means drink" I said pulling him up the bed
I tucked him in before sitting next to him. I began singing Golden Slumbers to him which sent him to sleep. I gently kissed his forehead before slowly clambering off the bed. I quietly and quickly left the room before closing the door. I found Barry wandering round the corridor looking like he was waiting for someone.
"Did you get Mo drunk?" I asked
"No. Let me talk to him" Barry replied trying to head to our room
"Don't, he's sleeping himself sober" I objected as Robin left his room and Andy left his
I then turned to them.
"Which of you two got Maurice drunk?" I asked
"Wasn't me. I was sat reading that entire time. Good book" Robin replied
"Nor me, I was unpacking" Andy added
I just rolled my eyes as we went for a drink. They got drunk but I stayed sober knowing I would have to look after Mo. Andy and Robin could barely stand by the end of it. It was only 8pm and they were already acting like in comedy films. Eventually, at 10pm, I began getting them back to the hotel. Barry couldnt walk himself but still have to give Andy a piggy back while I supported Robin. When we got back to the hotel Maurice was awake and taking a walk. He was very sober now, sober enough to help me with the lads. I helped Andy off of Barry's back as Maurice took Robin into his room. Barry stumbled into his as I took Andy to his. Me and Maurice then retreated to our room and snuggled up in bed together.
"This is fun" Maurice said "I wonder what they will be like tomorrow?"
"Probably very funny, for us that is. They will have bad headaches and probably using ice packs all day" I replied
"They've got a concert tomorrow" Maurice said
As I predicted the three walked around with ice packs all day but still acted drunk. Barry ended up retreated to bed until the concert which me and Maurice watched from backstage.
"I will be out there by the end of this week, I can't wait any longer then that" Maurice said to me halfway through
"Just take it easy out there, remember what's the doctor said" I advised
