Chapter 29
The only non-Asian character I will condone in Mulan live-action is Eddie Murphy
~~
Jamia helped me with the tape measurer as Gee stood straight against the wall. I bit my lip as I measured him.
"Looks like you're about four feet tall," I said.
"I'm not four feet, Daddy, I only gots two feet," Gee said, sticking out his foot to show me.
"You're so cute," Jamia said, kissing his cheek.
"Last night of tour, are you excited, Gee?" I asked and he nodded.
We had been planning on going to Disney World in Florida but with the baby coming I didn't want to spend that much money so we decided to just leave that trip in the future when Miles is a little bit bigger and he can go and have fun there too.
"I wanna snuggle in my princess bed," Gee said. "I don'ts like sleeping in the van."
I smiled, holding his hand.
"Come on, you wanna go outside and walk around for a bit?" I asked.
"Can I get treats?" He asked.
"Yeah, Baby, you can get a treat," I said with a small chuckle.
We went outside and Jamia held Gee's other hand, which was bundled up tight in the warm hug of his pink mitten. Gee tripped and ended up falling face first into a pile of snow.
"Fuck," I muttered.
Gee screamed as I pulled him up.
"You don't have to be scared, it's just snow," I said.
"It's on me! It's on me!" Gee shrieked, looking at the pile of snow on his arm. "It's gonna hurt me! It's bad!"
We helped clean him off before we walked into a little store.
"You can go pick out a stuffie for being such a good boy on tour for me," I said.
Gee hurried off and I quickly followed. I frowned in confusion when Jamia didn't follow and we were split up in the store. I let Gee pick up a giraffe and I paid for it.
"Hey, where'd you go?" I asked when Jamia walked out of the store while we waited outside.
"I got you a gift," she said.
She held out the bag and I frowned. I reached inside, pulling out a white, short-sleeved baby bodysuit. On it in black letters it said 'Daddy's Biggest Fan' with music notes surrounding it.
"Mia, this is amazing, thank you so much," I said, kissing her cheek.
"Daddy, I think you're too big for that," Gee said.
"It's not for me," I said with a small chuckle. "It's for Miles."
"Who?" Gee asked.
"Miles, my son," I said. "The one who is gonna be joining us soon."
"Daddy, What does it say?" He asked.
"It says that Miles is my biggest fan," I said.
"No he isn't!" Gee cried. "I am! Not him!"
"You don't even like my music," I said.
"I'm your biggest fan!" Gee shrieked.
"You don't have to be jealous, Sweetheart, I love both of you exactly the same," I said, kissing his cheek.
Gee sniffled quietly and held my hand.
"But you love me more?" Gee asked.
"I love you the same," I said.
Gee pouted. "Mia, do you love me more?"
"Well, Miles isn't my son so of course I do, Sweetheart," she said, pinching Gee's cheek.
He squealed happily and hugged her tight.
"I love you more than Daddy," Gee said.
I knew he was just being pouty but I still felt my heart pang with hurt.
"That isn't very nice, Gee," Jamia said.
"Mia, let's go play," Gee said.
He dragged her off to the venue and I sighed as I found Alex in the dressing room.
"What's that?" He asked, looking at my bag. "Why were you in a baby shop? Was it just for Gee?"
"No, Mia got me a little gift," I said, pulling out the little outfit to show him.
"That's so cute," he said. "What has been going on between you two recently?"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Something has changed between you two, Frank, we can all tell," Alex said. "We all knew she liked you. Well, everyone but you knew. But this isn't her this time, it's you. A-Are you starting to have feelings for her?"
"No," I denied quickly. "Wh-why would you--why would I--what?"
I laughed nervously and he raised his eyebrows.
"Frank, do you have feelings for her?" He asked.
"I don't know, I've never really felt this way before," I said quietly. "It's just...I love her smile and I love the way I feel when I'm with her, she always brightens my day. A-and recently my heart just beats really fast when I'm around her and I like the way her hand feels when holding mine and I loved it when we fell asleep in each other's arms."
"Frank, I think you like her," Alex said.
"I broke her heart already," I said. "I don't wanna hurt her again."
"You wouldn't break her heart," Alex said.
"She's probably over me by now anyways," I said.
"She isn't," he said. "That night you hooked up with Alicia she cried for hours. She's in love with you."
"What if I'm not in love with her and then we start something together only for me to realize that it's only infatuation and then I break her heart again?" I asked.
"You don't have to go and date her now or anything, just try to figure out your feelings," he said.
"I've never felt this way about someone before and I'm not quite sure what it is," I Said. "I've never been in a serious relationship, the longest relationship I've ever had was just a one month. Usually it's just one night stands and quick hook ups."
"When I first met you I thought you two were dating," he said. "And when I found out you weren't I thought you two were going to date. You two just seem so perfect together."
"I never even thought about us dating before until I started looking at her differently as of recently," I said. "She's just so sweet and pretty everything she does is just perfect."
"That's so sweet, Frank," Alex said.
"I wanna get shit-faced," I said.
I left the room to go find some alcohol from the bar. Soon enough I was drunk but thankfully not too wasted so I could still perform in an hour.
"God, I can't believe you go drunk," Evan said.
I giggled, pressing my lips against his when he pushed me away.
"Why are you always kissing on people when you're wasted?" He asked. "Stop kissing strangers just because you're drunk."
"You don't wanna kiss me?" I Asked.
"No, Frank," Evan denied.
He gave me a bottle of water and I pouted quietly.
"You need to sober up a bit before you go onstage or else you're gonna start kissing the people in front row," he said.
I sat on the stage, my feet dangling off the side while I laid down and stared at the ceiling. Jamia laid next to me and smiled over at me.
"Does Gee still hate me?" I Asked.
"He doesn't hate you," she denied. "He's just a little jealous is all."
"You sure?" I asked nervously. "He seemed like he hated me."
"No, he's just scared that you're not gonna love him anymore when the baby is born," she said. "Or that you're not going to love him as much because you have someone to replace him with."
"I should go talk to him," I said.
I started to sit up but got woozy and laid back down.
"Maybe later," I mumbled.
Jamia chuckled, holding my hand. I lifted her hand up to look you it.
"You...you got little hands," I muttered. "Gee's hand's are littler. Is littler a word? Littler, littler, littler, littler, littler--"
"Frank," Evan interrupted. "Time to head back to the dressing room."
He pulled me up and back to the dressing room as I sighed. I laid on the couch, getting an hour of sleep before I had to go back out and perform. Thankfully the performance seemed to go okay, I was so good at performing I could do it in my sleep. The only hard parts was in between songs when I would just stumble around the stage and trip over my words.
"Come on, boozie, let's get you home," Evan said.
He picked me up and I giggled, throwing my arms up. He carried me to the van and set me in. They helped get everything before Gee snuggled up to my side. I yawned, falling asleep as we drove home.
I was the last to be dropped off by Jamia. She helped me inside as I giggled and she helped me upstairs. She put Gee to bed and I yawned as I laid down.
"Why'd you get so shit-faced right before a concert?" Jamia asked as she sat next to me. "That really wasn't the brightest idea."
"It's just...it's so confusing," I mumbled.
"What's so confusing?" She asked with a small chuckle. "Your sexuality? I saw you trying to kiss Evan."
"You're confusing," I mumbled. "You're just...you're here and you're Mia and you're my best friend and you're not Mia and not my best friend anymore and I don't really know what that means."
"I don't know what that entire sentence meant," she said with a small chuckle.
"Can...can you cuddle with me?" I asked. "The bed is so cold and lonely."
She hesitated for a moment before laying under the blankets with me. I wrapped my arms around her, smiling as I buried my face into the crook of his neck.
"Your hair smells good," I mumbled.
"You're so drunk," she said with a chuckle.
We were both almost asleep curled up in each other's arms when the door creaked open slowly. Gee crawled in between us, pulling us apart to lay in between us. We both chuckled, wrapping our arms around him as we showered him in kisses, all of us slowly falling asleep together.
