Tess sighed deeply. The Father had just informed her that the event had just occurred. She looked around the house to find Dawn. She decided to check the bedroom first. The door was closed, but she knocked.
"Come in," she heard Dawn call. She went in and noticed Dawn had been crying.
"Hey baby, what's wrong?" Tess asked. Dawn wiped her tears and smiled at Tess.
"Nothing Tess," Dawn lied. Tess looked at the raven-haired Kiwi and smiled gently.
"You don't have to lie to me. C'mon, tell me what's wrong," Tess gently prodded.
"I just never thought it would end like this. I thought we would be married forever," Dawn said, breaking down in tears. For the first time, Tess noticed Dawn's accent. Tess at next to Dawn and wrapped her arms around her.
"It was nothing you did baby," Tess comforted. Dawn shook her head.
"Sometimes I think I did do something. I just don't understand what happened to make him like this. He doesn't seem to love me anymore, I rarely see him…" she stopped and dried her eyes. Tess looked at her for a moment, wondering if she should tell Dawn. She decided it was best. She stood up from the bed.
"Dawn? I need for you to listen to me, okay baby?" Tess said soothingly. She waited until Dawn looked up at her. As Dawn looked up, a warm glow filled the room. She gasped when she realized Tess was glowing.
"What...what's going on?" Dawn questioned, a little afraid.
"I'm an angel. I've been sent here to tell you that God loves you, and so does Alan," Tess said. Dawn allowed tears to fall onto her cheeks.
"He doesn't...he can't," Dawn stuttered, her Kiwi accent thick from her emotions.
"Oh baby, he does. He's just not sure how to show you. Listen, we don't have much time. We need to get to New York," Tess explained, hoping Dawn would agree.
"Why?" Dawn asked, a little uncertain.
"Please, just trust me," Tess pleaded. Dawn nodded and they headed out the door.

Chloe gasped as she heard what sounded like a tornado. She looked at Andrew with a questioning glance.
"Andrew, what was that?" she asked. Andrew jumped up and went over to the window behind him. His wide, green eyes stared in shock as the other World Trade Center building collapsed. He slowly turned back to Chloe, a horrified look covered his face.
"The...the other Trade Center building has...collapsed," Andrew managed to say. Chloe looked up and her eyes widened. She flinched as she heard another loud crash. Andrew picked up the phone and dialed in a few numbers. Chloe could only hear Andrew's side, but she listened intently.
"Tim? Hi, it's Andrew. What was the second crash?" He paused, and then dropped the phone. At the same time, the ceiling started caving in. Chloe ran to a corner of the room, but dropped to the floor. Andrew ran to her and covered her body with his own. When the debris quit falling, Andrew lifted himself up and looked at Chloe. She was breathing heavy and sweating.
"Chloe are you hurt?" Andrew asked, concern tinged his voice.
"Andrew," she gasped, "I think I'm in labor."
"Come in," she heard Dawn call. She went in and noticed Dawn had been crying.
"Hey baby, what's wrong?" Tess asked. Dawn wiped her tears and smiled at Tess.
"Nothing Tess," Dawn lied. Tess looked at the raven-haired Kiwi and smiled gently.
