The Cheetahs were making their descent into Barcelona, along with Amar and Vic. Do immediately called Joaquin as soon as the plane touched down and he told them to come to his new place. They got into a taxi and a half hour later, arrived at his house.

Joaquin was standing on the front step. Dorinda was the first one out of the taxi cab, and sprinted to him in a fury. He picked her up and swung her around, Dorinda squealing and giggling.

"Hello my beautiful Dorinda," whispered Joaquin.

"Hi,"said Dorinda. Before she could say anything else, the rest of the group smiled and quickly walked past them with their bags leaving them alone.

"Dorinda, I've missed you so much," said Joaquin.

"I have too baby," said Dorinda. "I've missed you so much."

Their lips met in a sweet embrace. The lonely ache in her heart was no longer there, and had now been replaced love, the one gap in her heart that had been empty. The passion that had been built up since their "breakup" heated up even more as he waltzed her right past Aqua, Vic, Chanel and Amar, letting him know that they were free to anything in his kitchen as he had gone shopping, leaving the four dumbfounded as he waltzed her upstairs and right into his bedroom, un aware that Aqua and Chanel watched them go right up the stairs and looked at eachother.

"Ooh, someone's gonna get cheetahlicious love tonight," said Chanel as Vic and Amar made them some dinner.

"About time," said Aqua.

The next morning, Dorinda quietly untangled herself from Joaquin and dressed. Their lovemaking the night before had been nothing she had ever imagined, and as much as she loved him, she couldn't stay. After a quick phone call to her foster mom, she grabbed a piece of paper from his desk and wrote him a note and placed it where she had slept. The others had already been up, and before she let them say anything, she told them they had to go back to New York that instant.

An hour after they left, Joaquin woke up, trying to figure out why it was so cold in his bed.

"Do?" he called out. "Dorinda?"

He saw the note lying where she had slept and groaned. Reading it he frowned a bit, but then smiled.

Joaq,

Last night was amazing. It was nothing I had ever imagined. By the time you are reading this, the girls and I, along with Amar and Vic, will be on a plane back to New York. I would love to stay longer with you, but we are all homesick and anxious to see our families again. We also have to prepare for our classes coming up. When you are able to come to New York, my foster mom says you are always welcome as usual. I want to make things work Joaq. I am in love with you, but I don't know if I can handle us being six hours apart. My world is being with my girls, and your world is Barcelona. I do want to make this work. I know we can.

I love you.

Yours forever,
Dorinda

Joaquin sighed and buried his hands in his head. She was gone and out of his life again, and he was miserable.


Dorinda groaned as she once again emptied the contents of her stomach into the toilet in front of her. This was the third day in a row she had been sick like this. She knew something was wrong, but she didn't know what.

"Do? Are you sure you're okay girlfriend?" asked Chanel from in front of her mirror as she applied lipstick.

"She better be," said Aqua. "She better not puke while we perform tonight."

"I have no idea why I'm regurgitating my lunch from yesterday," said Dorinda as she wiped her mouth with some toilet paper and flushed the toilet. Aqua had been standing behind Dorinda, holding her hair back.

"You've been sick since Monday," said Aqua. "Don't you think you should go see a doctor? What if it's food poisoning?"

"I don't think it's food poisoning," said Chanel. "She only has puked three times in the last three days."

Dorinda froze when she looked at her calendar, and saw the words circled on the day's date.

"Oh my god," whispered Dorinda. "It can't be."

"What Do?" asked Chanel. "What's wrong?"

"Girls, I think I'm pregnant."
