*Eponine woke one morning, perfectly happy as she intended on meeting Aimee at a cafe that day (Eponine still couldn't face Marius yet) when all the sudden she felt an all-too-familiar early-morning nausea come over her. After a good few minutes of tossing her cookies, she realized that her chest had been feeling tender those last few days, and that she was eating a lot of goofy things.*
"RENN!" *She cried, voice a little strangled.*

**AS RENN**
*After a restless night plagued with bad dreams and worry, the last thing she needed was Eponine yelling at her at the crack of dawn. She got out of bed, and went over to the bathroom.*
"Eponine, are you okay?" *she asked, concerned. She didn't need her best friend sick, on top of everything else. *

*Her face was as white as the toilet bowl. She was holding onf hand to her mouth.*
"I think... I think I'm pregnant again." *She said, her whispering voice rough.* "And I have no idea who the hell the father is."

**RENN**
"You..."
*She refused to follow the logical train of thought here.*
"But that's impossible!"

*Tears welled behind her eyes.*
"I know. It can't be happening, because either I've just got a really concidental stomach bug or it's the child of a dead man. Or the german personification of death--either way..."

*It was Renn's turn to hold back tears.*
"Oh... oh my god. You should get test to be sure, you know, before you jump to any conclusions."

*She shook her head.*
"I can't go through this again... not with Marius, not with the way he looked at me... what he thought of me..."

"Eponine, be sensible! It's really unlikely that you are, for one, and furthermore, oh frickin' well. He'll get over it."
*She wasn't in the mood for other people's troubles right now.*

*She glared at the wall.*
"At least last time I had an excuse! Now I'm just another whore off the streets, sleeping around with everyone!" *She yelled, not at Renn but at the world. She stomped off to the kitchen to cook something.*

"Oh for fuck's sake," *she shouted, following her friend.*
"You think you have problems?! Good lord- you have one perfect kid, the man you love just waiting for you to come back- what do I have? A dead baby and Tod god knows where with god knows what being done to him! So why don't you shut up?"

"He has every intention of coming back, Renn!! That's a hell of a lot more than I could ever say about someone I loved!" *She shot back angrily.* "I was born into poverty, whored off at fourteen by my own father to his cronies in order to pay our rent, I almost died of a botched abortion as a result of one of them, I finally fell in love with a man who would never see me as anything more than his friend, he fell in love with someone else, I died protecting him, and then I came back and got pregnant! Lo and behold, there's the man I've wanted the whole time, thinking I'm some kind of harlot, I die AGAIN, and now I'm pregnant! This whole time I've never complained, I always moved on with my life, because there's nothing I can do about the fucking past! So get off your damn high horse and don't yell at me about how I don't have a right to be pissed!" *Her voice crescendoed as she walked back at Renn, and when she stood there, quaking with anger, she suddenly burst into loud tears.*
"Oh mon dieu, I'm so sorry, Renn... you're right, I should have left you alone... I had no right to go off at you like that..." *She hated that she had upset Renn.*

*Renn glared at her friend, stony faced.*
"Whatever. If you think you're so much better than me because of all the shit you've been through- Okay. I'm sorry your life sucks. Please forgive me for having problems too," *she said sarcastically.*

You're turning into your mother. *She thought to herself, and immediately silenced whatever she had been about to say in retort.*
"Oh my God. It's happened. We've begun arguing about nothing." *She said incredulously to herself.*

*She realized how stupid she was being- weren't friends supposed to support each other.*
"That's it- I'm filing for divorce," *she said lightly, trying to dispel the cloud of anger hovering over the room.*

*She laughed softly, wiping her face with her sleeve.*
"I get the beach house and you can have the brownstone."
