Dani sat on the couch staring at the door, waiting. Mimi, Collins and Maureen were all gathered in the kitchen. Mimi looked at Dani and laughed.

"Dani, baby, staring at the door won't bring him home sooner," she said. That didn't stop Dani from her dedicated task of staring at the door and waiting for it to slide open.

Finally, the loft door slid open. In a flash, Dani was on her feet. She flew across the loft in record time and flung herself into Roger's arms.

"Roger!" she exclaimed. Roger gave Dani a hug and a kiss.

"Hey Dani, how as your day?"

"Mommy and I went to the park." Roger put Dani down. He couldn't figure out why she called Mimi "Mommy" but him "Roger." It was a mystery.

Roger went over to the kitchen to join his friends. He wrapped his arms around Mimi's waist and kissed her cheek softly.

"Hey Mo, Thomas," he said. "Where's Joanne?"

"At work. She said that she'd meet us here," Maureen replied. Dani went over and tugged on Roger's jeans.

"What's up?" he asked.

"Up!" Dani ordered. Roger picked her up.

"You know, you're going to get too big for this soon." Dani shook her head and rested it on Roger's shoulder. Maureen snickered. "What?"

"I never thought I'd ever see the pretty boy front man become so attached to a kid," Maureen replied.

"Shove it, Maureen." Roger fixed his grip on Dani. In truth, he had never imagined that he would become so close to Dani either.

By the time Joanne arrived at the loft, Mark had gotten home from work. All the Bohemians were gathered around the loft eating pizza.

"Hi Pookie!" Maureen exclaimed. Joanne leaned over and pecked her on the lips. "What took you so long?"
"Well, I made a stop at the courthouse," Joanne replied as she dug around in her briefcase. She turned to Roger and Mimi. "You two are now Dani's legal parents." Mimi stood up.

"Are you serious?" she asked. Joanne nodded. Mimi rushed over and gave her a huge hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you," she gushed. Joanne returned the hug.

"You're welcome, Meems; I'm glad I could help." Dani looked at Roger with confusion written across her face.

"What's that mean?" she asked.

"It means that Roger and Mimi are officially your Mom and Dad," Collins replied. Dani's eyes got wide.

"Really?"

"Yep," Maureen chirped. Dani scrambled up onto Roger's lap.

"So you're my Daddy now?" Dani paused for a second while she wrapped her mind around this concept. "Cool!" Everyone laughed.

"Come give Aunt Joanne a hug," Mimi said through tears. Dani got up and gave Joanne a hug.

"Why are you crying, Mommy?" Mimi waved off the comment.

"They're happy tears, mija, don't you worry." Collins refilled everyone's vodka and handed out the cups.

"To Dani!" he bellowed.

"To Dani!" everyone repeated happily.

Later that night, Roger was trying to get Dani to bed. Unfortunately for him, she had other plans; she was all wound up from everyone being over and was jumping on her bed.

"Come on Dani, time for bed," Roger said. Dani jumped off the bed and into his arms.

"I wanna sleep in bed with you and Mommy," she said happily.

"Oh you do, do you? Well, I have to check with the boss." Dani giggled.

"Why do you call Mommy 'the boss'?" she asked.

"Don't tell anyone, but Mommy gets fussy if she doesn't get her way. Now, don't tell anyone, okay?" Roger whispered.

"Okay," Dani whispered back with a serious look on her face.

"Now, let's see if we can win Mommy over." Roger carried Dani over to his room.

Mimi had just crawled into bed when Roger cam into the room carrying Dani. Mimi sat up when she saw them.

"Goodnight honey," she said.

"I wanna sleep in here with you," Dani said.

"You do?" Mimi turned to Roger. "Did you tell her that she could?"
"I told her that it was up to you," Roger replied. Mimi sighed.

"Please, Mommy?"
"Okay, come here." Roger put Dani on the bed and changed for bed. he crawled into bed on the other side of Dani. He leaned over her and kissed Mimi.

"Eww!" Dani squealed. Roger broke off the kiss and laid back down.

"That better?" he asked. Dani curled up and hugged her teddy bear close to her chest.

"Yes," she mumbled. Roger kissed her cheek.

"Night Dani, Night Meems, I love you."

"Love you too, babe," Mimi replied sleepily.

"Night Mommy, goodnight, Daddy; I love you," Dani said before falling asleep.
