"Are you ready Baby?" Roger whispered as he stood in front of the barbeque.
"Yeah, I'm ready." Ava smiled taking the plate of meat from him and bringing it to the table they had set up in the back yard.
"This looks really good Roger." Mark smiled taking a piece of steak off of the plate Ava just put down.
"Yeah, this has been the best summer vacation ever. It's gonna be a shame when we have to go back home." Joanne smiled scooping salad onto her plate.
"We're not going back guys." Roger smiled looking over at them as he joined them at the table.
"What do you mean you're not going back?" Mrs. Davis asked looking up at him.
"Ava and I are quitting the band and we're staying here." he said wrapping his arms around Ava's waist.
"Oh my God." Collins smiled looking up at them.
"What?" Maureen asked looking over at them.
"Oh my God." Mr. Davis smiled looking up at them.
"Will someone please tell us what's going on?" Joanne asked looking up at everyone.
"They're pregnant." Mrs. Davis smiled looking over at her.
"They're what? Oh my God. That's great." Mark smiled looking up at them.
"How far along are you?" Mr. Davis smiled looking up at them.
"We don't know. We just found out this morning." Ava smiled as everyone got up to congratulate them.
"This is so great. I am so happy for you." Mrs. Davis smiled hugging them.
"Thanks mom." Ava smiled hugging her back.
"So you two are quitting the business, huh?" Collins smiled looking down at them.
"Yeah, we wanna raise our child here. I want to get a job here so I can be home with my family everyday, like my dad was there for me." he smiled looking over at Mr. Davis.
"Are you sure that's what you want? You've wanted this for a very long time Roger." Mr. Davis said looking up at Roger.
"I've been wanting this for a long time too dad. My place is with my family." he smiled looking over at him.
"Well, I guess Roger Davis is a family man now." Mark smiled looking up at them.
"Yeah I am." he smiled kissing Ava's head.
"This deserves a celebration of epic proportions." Maureen laughed as tears fell from her eyes.
"Everything deserves a celebration of epic proportions to you." Ava laughed looking over at her.
"Well this does. You and Roger are having a baby." she smiled looking over at them.
"I agree Baby. I think we need to have a huge celebration." Roger smiled holding her in his arms.
"What kind of celebration?" she asked cautiously looking up at him.
"A really big one." he smiled leaning down to kiss her.
"Don't worry sweetie, we can have it at our house. The girls and I will take care of everything." Mrs. Davis smiled looking over at Maureen and Joanne.
"This is gonna be so much fun." Maureen squealed in excitement.
"I think we're in trouble." Ava laughed looking up at Roger.
"Um yeah, I think that's a safe bet." Roger laughed holding her tight.
"Let's eat." Collins smiled looking over at everyone.
"Good idea. I'm starving. I'm eating for two now." Ava laughed sitting down at the table.
"Good morning Mrs. Davis. How do you feel this morning?" the doctor smiled looking over at them.
"I'm good." she smiled looking over at Roger.
"I see here that you're pregnant. Congratulations." he smiled as he looked down at the chart.
"Yeah, we just found out the other day." she smiled as Roger reached over for her hand.
"Let's see how far along you are." he smiled wheeling the ultra sound machine towards them.
"I'm HIV positive, so she's gonna need an HIV test." Roger said as Ava laid down on the examining table.
"Don't worry Mr. Davis. We'll do all the necessary tests and keep an eye on things." he smiled as he put gel on Ava's belly. "I hear a strong heartbeat." he smiled looking over at them as they concentrated on the screen.
"It sounds weird. Is that normal?" Roger asked looking up at the doctor who looked confused as he looked at the screen.
"It looks like we have two heartbeats here." he smiled looking down at them.
"Two? We're having...?" Roger started with tears filling his eyes before looking over at Ava who was looking at the screen.
"Twins?" she said as tears rolled down from her eyes.
"Looks like. See, that's one baby and there's the other." the doctor smiled looking down at them.
"How far along?" Roger asked wiping the tears from his eyes.
"Judging by the size, I'd say 7 weeks." the doctor smiled looking over at them.
"7 weeks? Oh my God Roger." she smiled looking over at him.
"I heard Ava." he smiled leaning in to kiss her as they looked up at the screen.
"I love you Roger." she smiled reaching over to caress his face.
"I love you too Baby." he smiled playing with her hair.
"Twins. I can't believe it." she smiled looking up at Roger.
"Are you OK Baby?" Roger asked looking down at Ava as they left the doctors office and walked to the car.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just... twins." she laughed looking up at him.
"We're gonna have twins Baby. This is the greatest news." he said sweeping her into his arms.
"You do realize that we're in for the biggest party this planet has ever seen." she laughed looking into his eyes.
"Knowing Maureen and my mom, yeah. We're really in for it." he smiled leaning down to kiss her.
"Good." she smiled caressing his face.
"When do we have to meet with Josh?" he asked looking down at her.
"At 3. I don't want to tell him about the twins yet. I think we should tell our family first." she smiled looking up at him.
"Good idea Baby." he smiled kissing her again before opening the car door for her.
"You do realize that he's gonna want us to have a press conference releasing news about the baby, right?" she said as he got in the car.
"Yeah, I know. I figured that." he smiled taking her hand.
"And that's when we're gonna tell them that we're done with the band." she said as he started the car.
"What about Jimmy and June?" he asked looking over at her.
"I told them last night when you and the guys were playing cards. They're fine with it. They said they've been wanting to quit for a while, but didn't want to abandon me." she said looking over at him.
"I hope them wanting to quit has nothing to do with me." he said as they sat in the parking lot.
"In a way. They said they stuck with me so long because they were taking care of me for you. They didn't want anything to happen to me." she smiled looking over at him.
"My best friends, huh?" he smiled kissing her hand.
"Yeah, mine too." she laughed before they began to drive home.
"You're having a baby? This is great Avalon, but what about the band? What about Jimmy and June?" he asked sitting up in his chair.
"I spoke to them last night and they're happy for us. They're ready to move on. Jimmy wants to produce and June just wants to relax for a while as he decides what he wants to do next." Ava said taking Roger's hand.
"And what about the new album? You were supposed to start work on it next month. You two have that new song. People are expecting it." he asked looking over at them.
"We're done Josh. We want to settle in Hicksville and raise our family." Ava smiled looking over at Roger.
"You know, I don't like this Avalon. You blindsided me when you hired Roger, but luckily he worked out and then I had to hear that you married him on Leno and now you're quitting, just like that. No warning, no nothing." he said getting up from his chair.
"You know, I'm right here." Roger said looking over at him.
"I know Roger, I'm not saying that this was not a good move for Avalon, but..." he started when Ava interrupted him.
"AVA. My name is Ava. I am so sick of the name Avalon. I hated it when I was a kid and right now, I'm hating it more now." she yelled standing up for her chair.
"Ava, the baby." Roger said reaching out for her hand.
"If you're sick of Avalon, why the hell did you use it as your stage name?" he asked looking down at her.
"Because Roger suggested it when we were teenagers and I just thought it would be a good idea. But I am so sick of it now." she said looking up at him.
"How can you let all of this go after all the work you've done to get here?" he asked looking over at her.
"Josh, I'm just ready to let it go. I want my life back. I'm so sick of worrying about every move I make being on the front cover of every news paper and tabloid. Roger and I are married and we're having a child that we want to raise outside of the public eye. We're living in Hicksville and giving our children a normal life." she said looking up at him.
"You do realize that the two of you should hold a press conference announcing that you will not be continuing your career?" he said looking down at her.
"Yes we do. Whatever we have to do, but we want our private lives back. I don't want our family to be plagued by reporters for the rest of our lives." she said looking down at Roger.
"I can't stop you, can I?" Josh asked looking over at Ava.
"No, you can't. It's done. We want to raise our children in Hicksville and just be a normal married couple." she said sitting next to Roger.
"You're gonna be a soccer mom?" Josh asked sitting on the edge of his desk smiling down at her.
"Yeah, I am. And Roger's gonna coach little league. It's what we've always wanted." she smiled looking over at Roger.
"Well then congratulations. I'm happy for you." he smiled looking down at them as they held one anothers hands tight.
