"We have some important news to tell of all of you." Roger spoke up as you had gathered all the band members to tell them the news. 

Five eager people sit around you and Roger. They were starring at you both, it was overwhelming.

Your heart was beating fast and your palms were sweating but you had to say it.

It had to be known before it could be over. 

Just in case.

"Well spit it out loves!" Freddie said.

You turned your head to look at your loving husband starring back at you. His hand gripped tighter around yours. 

"Come on with it," Brian said filling the silence as you hesitated to say it.

You knew you had to say it. Not Roger or anyone else. You were pregnant, finally. 

You had to say it finally.

Both Mary and Veronica were eyeing you very strangely. You knew they knew something was off. Or maybe something was quite very much on.

"I'm pregnant." You said and smiled as the words had left your lips.

"WHAT!" Mary screams.

"But I thought you were..." Brian asks.

"When did you find out?" John questioned.

"How are you feeling?" Veronica wondered.

"I did too," You said looking at Brian, focusing on his question as it was the first to be said. 

"But it was all from those bloody pills I was taking. But finally after a year of being off them, I can be pregnant again. I found out officially two days ago." You said answering two questions.

Intentionally avoiding Veronica's.

Everyone was in slight shock. 

Freddie was the first to spring up off the chair he was sitting upon and hug you. It was a very comforting hug.

"Have you seen the doctors?" Brian asked. 

"Yeah, they did their little tests. It's confirmed." Roger said answering for you. 

Freddie sat next to you, closely. 

A few hours later after a few too many shots that you couldn't partake in, the group was gone and you were left alone with Rog. 

As you and Roger settled into bed, you nustled into his arm as he read a book yet was suddenly consumed with yelling coming from the room next to you.

The only thing was that was the room where Mary and Freddie were staying. 

You looked up to Roger, his face matching your same puzzled look. 

You listened closely.

"Stop saying it's ok! It's not, there's something going on!" You heard Mary yell.

It was silent after that, until.

"Mary why can't you see! I'm saying I love you!" Freddie retorted.

"I hear it, Fred! I hear you! But you aren't hearing me! Somethings off about you!" She said. You knew she probably had tears coming from her eyes.

You leaned closer between the wall that separated you from them.

"You aren't Mary!" Freddie screamed. There was a shattering noise and a women's shreak.

"Sit down Freddie." Mary yelled.

Whatever was going on didn't sound good. 

"I told you something was happening. Mary hasn't been coming to the bars or anything. They never call at rehearsal. They rarely talk at the shows." Roger whispered. 

"I hope they are ok." You whispered back.

"Here you go Mary. I'm sitting!" Freddie yelled.

That was the last thing you heard for a while. 

After a few seconds you turned off the light and went to bed.

Not to long after you switched the lights off, you heard weeping.

"Mary listen to me..." You heard Freddie say, sounding as if he was crying.

"You can't love me if you're gay Fred." Mary said, audibly sobbing.

"No no!" You heard Freddie yell. "Please don't take it off." He added. 

A few seconds later you heard their door open and slam. You heard Mary sob. 

A knock was heard coming from your hotel door. You perked up and ran to open it after flicking on the lights. 

"Hey Freddie." You said pretending you didn't just listen to their whole argument. Ok well not the whole thing. There was a very large piece missing in what you heard.And some things being said, you could hardly understand.

"May I come in please?" He said politely.

"Of course Fred." You said and he walked in. 

"What just happened?" Roger asked, pointing to Freddie and Mary's room.

"Rog!" You looked at him, trying to play it off as you weren't both eavesdropping. 

You looked at Freddie's tear stricken face. He was fidgeting with his engagement ring on his finger. A detail he had just told you a few weeks ago. 

His face weeped of sadness. His eyes pointed towards the ground. His body closed off mentally. 

You sat at the edge of the bed as Roger scooted up next to you. He was sitting in the couch just across from you. 

"I think Mary and me are over." He said fighting back his tears. His eyes scrunched closed tight, his eyebrows in a frown.

He paused for a second.

"And I think I'm gay." He added.


Hello Loves! Thank you all for 2k. I love you all so much! Anyways I just wanted to pop in here and clear some things up. I know this isn't historically accurate. (Of course, it's not accurate. None of this happened but a girl can dream hah) but everything with Mercury's sexuality and everything as such I know this may not be how it happened along with other details in this. It's just the story. Thank you all for reading still. Stay safe and hope you are all doing ok.xxx
