3 Years later

"Who's ready for dinner?" Ava asked bringing the curry chicken into the dining room where everyone sat waiting.

"Mommy, what smells funny?" Abigail asked looking up.

"It's a new recipe." she smiled sitting down next to Roger.

"It looks great Baby." he smiled looking over at her.

"Thanks you Baby. Everybody dig in." she smiled as everyone started passing the plates around the table. "So Mark, where's Tara tonight?" she asked looking over at him.

"She had to work late, but she asked me to bring her a plate home if that's OK?" he asked looking over at her.

"Of course. I have more in the kitchen." she smiled looking over at him as she began eating.

"Thanks." Mark smiled looking over at her as he began eating.

"Um, guys. We wanted to tell you something." Collins smiled looking over at Will.

"What's the matter guys?" Roger asked drinking his soda.

"Will and I are gonna adopt a baby. We're thinking of going to China or something." Collins smiled looking over at them.

"That's great. When are you going?" Ava asked looking over at them.

"They're trying to find a match for us and then we have to go to China and we have a baby." Will smiled looking over at them.

"We're happy for you guys. Really." Roger smiled looking over at them.

"Ava, are you OK?" Maureen asked standing on the other side of the bathroom door.

"Yeah, I'm OK. Just remind me not to experiment with curry again, OK?" she laughed drying her mouth with a face towel.

"Are you sure that's all it is?" Maureen asked as Ava laid down in her bed.

"What else could it mean? I'm pregnant?" she laughed looking over at her.

"Well..." she smiled sitting on the chair by the window.

"Do you think...?" she asked sitting up straight in the bed.

"Is it possible?" Maureen asked looking over at her.

"Of course it's possible. I mean, we're using... you know because of the HIV, but um... do you really think?" she asked looking up at her.

"It's possible. Do you want me to go to the store?" Maureen asked looking over at her.

"Yeah, maybe you should. People see me buying a pregnancy test and they're liable to tell Roger when he goes to pick up milk." she laughed looking up at her.

"Oh yeah, and I can get away with it?" Maureen laughed looking over at her.

"You can get away with it a lot easier than I can." she laughed looking up at her.

"What time do we have to pick the kids up from school?" Maureen asked looking down at her.

"In 4 hours." she said looking around the bedroom at the pictures of the family that were hanging all around it. "Can you go? Please?" she asked looking up at her.

"Yeah sweetie. I'll be right back." she smiled leaning down to kiss her cheek before leaving the house. Ava began thinking what if it was positive? They just got the twins into kindergarten and now she was faced with maybe another baby. She and Roger hadn't really talked about having another baby, but they didn't rule it out. After 15 minutes, Maureen returned with the pregnancy test. "OK I got it." she smiled handing her the bag.

"Did anyone see you?" she asked looking up at her.

"Yeah, Abby and Luke, Will and Collins, Mark and Tara. Everyone was out and about." she teased looking over at her.

"Very funny. Can I just have my test please?" she asked laughing before going into the bathroom.

"Are you OK in there sweetie?" Maureen asked knocking on the door.

"Um... yeah Maureen. I've been going pee pee in the potty by myself for quite sometime. I'm pretty sure I can do it now." she smiled peeing on the stick.

"Sorry sweetie. Just tell me when you're done." she said as the door opened.

"2 minutes. Why am I so nervous?" she asked sitting on her bed.

"Because you and Roger want this. You just don't know it yet." she smiled looking over at her.

"We just got the twins in school. I wasn't thinking that I was gonna have more diapers to change." she said looking over at her.

"I know sweetie, but do you want another baby?" she asked looking over at her.

"Yeah, I do. I mean, when me and Roger were teenagers, we used to talk about when we had kids. But we always talked about taking our kids on tour with us, you know? We wanted to be rock stars and we were gonna raise our kids on the road. You know, bring tutors for them but we were always gonna spend every moment we could with them. Roger was gonna teach our son or sons how to play the guitar and I was gonna teach our little girl to sing. Now I just want to have happy, healthy kids with two parents who love them enough to give up everything we ever dreamed of to be with them. But the truth is, all we ever dreamed of was them. To have each other and two amazing kids." she smiled looking over at her with tears in her eyes.

"I know." she smiled as the timer went off.

A/N: I know it's so short, but I wanted to leave it a cliff hanger.
