Dorothea sat in the front row of the huge empty theater, with her best friend Regan. The two of them spoke softly to each other, giggling and watching Swann and the dancers rehearse the act for tonight's show.

Usualy on afternoons when she didn't have anything going on, she would have lunch with Regan, go shopping in the city, and finally stop by to see Philip before his shows. Moving back to Los Angeles had really been a good move on their part. Something about the warm and never sleeping city made Dorothea feel more at home. She saw everything there as being beautiful, and waiting to be discovered. She loved her mansion that they bought a few years ago. Almost every detail that went into the house was made by her.

Now sitting there, she watched her husband slowly begin to rise up as the dancers moved around.

"Come with me…into the great beyond."

Looking down at Dorothea, Swann winked.

A few hours later, Dorothea decided to spend the rest of the evening home. Catching the last few hours of light she laid out next to the pool and enjoyed a nice long nap. That evening, Swann came home late. Both made love in their bedroom, and the next morning Dorothea woke up in her husband's arms.

That's when the feeling washed over her.

Clasping her hand to her mouth, she pushed back the sheets and hurried to the bathroom. Right away Swann woke up just in time to see this.

"Dorothea?"

Slipping out of bed and grabbed his robe, he opened the bathroom door to find Dorothea kneeling beside the toilet throwing up. After a few seconds of dry heaves, she wiped her mouth and flushed. Swann went to her side.

"You okay?"

Her head felt feverish. Faintly smiling, Dorothea nodded.

"I guess I must be coming down with something, all this moving around…"

Swann remembered last year when he had to go to Japan for a world tour. He remembered Dorothea had come with him and suffered from motion sickness the entire flight. Kneeling down beside her, he brushed back her now dark hair and kissed her forehead.

"Why don't you go back to bed, I'll have Linda bring us up some breakfast."

Smiling, Dorothea nodded.

A few minutes later, Dorothea was resting comfortable in bed. Swann came in with their tray and crawled in beside her. Watching her pick at her food and slowly sip her tea, Swann studied her face before a thought came over him. This wasn't the first time she had been sick in the morning. In fact twice last week she had thrown up. Claming she was getting the flu. Even though he was always out of the house, working on his shows…Valentin had told him that he had noticed that Dorothea hadn't been feeling too well lately. In fact she canceled coming to some of his shows this past month. Complaining she felt drained of energy and beyond exausted. Thinking to when she was throwing up in the bathroom, Swann sipped his coffee before looking over at her.

"You've been sick a lot in the morning lately…huh?"

Dorothea slowly nodded before taking a small piece of her toast.

"Yeah. I can't seem to shake this flu…"

"Maybe it's not the flu?"

Dorothea looked over at him.

"Huh?"

Swann bit his lower lip.

"Maybe your pregnant?"

Dorothea dropped her toast on her tray before laughing.

"Yeah right…"

"Well it could be, I mean you said you stopped taking the birth control after our wedding because it was making you too moody."

Dorothea shook her head.

"I can't be…I would of known."

"Well…are you late?"

Swann remembered, besides the first time he took Dorothea's virginity they had used birth control. For the first few years it was condoms, then once Dorothea was old enough they switched on the pill. Children really weren't a topic that was brought up a lot. In fact they barley talked about it. Swann thought maybe this was because Dorothea was a child herself when they first met. The last couple of years between the traveling, the moving, the shows, and the wedding…they really hadn't found the time to fully talk about it. Both were beyond happy with the life's they made for themselves, and somehow the idea of getting pregnant seemed in the distant future. Swann loved Dorothea, he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Maybe the fact she was always left alone in this huge mansion while he worked wasn't the best thing. Maybe what she was missing was children. The link that would of brought them together. Swann thinking about it now, really did like the idea of having kids. Here he was twenty-five years old…one of the richest men in Los Angeles. World famous…and something was now telling him, that he had the dream career, house, and wife…he could have the children to go along with it.

Children…

He thought to himself. He knew Dorothea and him would make great parents. And be able to live their children great life's. The thought of Dorothea really being pregnant made him smile. A feeling he couldn't explain. Maybe this was faith…maybe it was meant to be.

When he broke out of his thoughts he saw Dorothea had moved her tray to the nightstand and had her planner on her lap. She was counting. After a few minutes she looked up at him, dazed and a little scared.

A few hours later, Swann called down to Valentin that he was going to cancel his meetings for the rest of the afternoon. After dressing, he asked Linda, their housemaid if she wouldn't mind picking up a few pregnancy tests.

Looking at him on the landing, she smiled. He knew he could trust Linda. She had worked for them since they first bought the mansion. Turning around she said she would be back right away. A half an hour later she returned with the bag from the drug store. Winking at him, she wished both him and Dorothea luck.

Now the two of them sat in the bathroom waiting. Swann knew these tests weren't always right, and that they would probably have to go see Dorothea's doctor later this week.

Dorothea paced back and forth, rubbing her arms while Swann sat on the sink. Checking his watch, they had another minute. He knew this would be the longest minute of their life's. Sitting there, looking at the small plastic strip. He remembered the last six years with Dorothea. How he watched her grow into a beautiful woman. Here they were…no longer dirty teenagers who were on the run. They had everything they ever wanted…most of all each other. Within this minute, this test would change their life's. They could be parents if the test said blue.

Dorothea kept pacing.

"You nervous?"

Dorothea looked up at him before softly smiling.

"A little bit…I mean, never thought I would be standing here."

Swann smiled back at her.

"Do you want this?"

Dorothea shrugged.

"I don't know, really depends on what the test says…I mean I never thought I would be a mother at eighteen, but still…part of me is really exciting, most of all since it's ours."

Swann reached out and took her hand.

Then, he glanced over at the test.

Blue.

Holding it up, he couldn't believe it. Dorothea came around, leaning against him and looked. After a few seconds she checked the box. Blue meant pregnant.

"Oh my God…"

She muttered.

They were pregnant.

Swann then dropped the test before looking over at her. She looked stunned and scared to death. Before she could say anything, the most amazing feeling came over him. Laughing, he grabbed her around the waist and lifted her up like he used to do. Spinning her, he laughed, kissing her over and over.

Laughing, she looked down at him as he held her.

"We're gonna have a baby!"

Dorothea laughed as Swann lowered her and covered his mouth with hers.

"This is the happiest moment of my life…"

He softly said as he held her.

That memory, one that stood out after all those years would stay with Swann. That was when he could really say he was truly happy.
