Isaac looked over at her.
"Something wrong?"
"Huh? Oh, nothing."
There was quiet for a moment.
"C'mon, you know you can't fool me. What's wrong?"
"It's not important."
"If something is bothering you, then it is important, to me."
Babsie smiled.
"It's just, I don't know, I feel like I've abandoned a perfectly good career before it even reached its pinnacle."
Isaac nodded slowly.
"Yeah, I can understand that. I still can't believe what happened to Hot Stuff. Everyone loved that show."
"Exactly, exactly. The ratings were amazing. It just doesn't make any sense."

A couple of weeks later they were close to the middle of the promo tour. They were in South America.
They were in the hotel room. Isaac and Taylor were playing nintendo, and Babsie and Avie were yakking when Zac came bounding out of the bedroom.
"Guess what Babsie! You're not the only one who's pregnant." He practically shouted.
"So, you decided not to go through with the sex change after all?" Babsie replied immediately, then she paused while her listening audience snickered. "Uhh, sorry. Natural reaction."
Zac rolled his eyes at the grin on her face.
"Don't be silly. Not me, Cassie."
"Well congratulations."
"Yeah, thanks."
"You sound a little nervous Zac." Isaac commented.
"Of course he is." Taylor interjected. "He had no intention of having kids so soon. Cassies' got him whipped."
Zac stuck his tongue out at him.
"You know, I'm beginning to notice a pattern." Avie said. "All three of you have gotten your wives prego within one month of marriage."
"You know, I've noticed that too." Babsie agreed. "We should make a point of warning Mackies' future wife that Hanson men work fast."
The girls laughed while the guys pulled faces at them.
"Well, at least they're fast at doing something. Unlike putting out albums." Avie teased.
"Ooh, that was low." Taylor remarked.
"Low, but true. Oh so true." Babsie replied, grinning.
