      "Eve, darling, we have to be at the studio in an hour." Julian said.
      "I can't believe I'm recording my tenth album," Eve said.

      "I'm surpised your fans can keep up on listening to them at the rate you're getting them recorded," Julian said.

      "I'm surpised you can keep up with me," Eve said, giving Julian a kiss. "I spend so much time at the studio, away from you and our son. I wish I had more time to spend with you two."

      "If you didn't put so much effort into our career, our son probably wouldn't be following in your footsteps." Julian said.

      "He's so young, but he's accomplished so much already." Eve said proudly. The door opened in the other room.

      "You didn't tell me we were having company." Julian said. "Is it our friends, TC and Rebecca?"

      "No, remember, they're on vacation this week?" Eve asked, trying to figure out who was coming in.

      "Mom, dad!" Eve and Julian's son said, throwing his arms around his parents.

      "Son!" Eve and Julian said.

      "This sure is a surprise." Julian said.

      "Yeah, well, we finshed recording the album early, so I got to come home early!"
 

      "Mr. Crane!" A voice called. "Mr. Crane!" Julian snapped out of his dream. The bedroom door flung open.

      "Phyliss, what the hell!?" Julian exclaimed. Phyliss gasped when she noticed that Eve was in Julian's bed. Eve bolted up.

      "What's going on?" Eve asked, stunned to see Phyliss in the doorway.

      "I was just asking what to do with the decorations from the party," Phyliss said in shock.

      "Haven't you ever heard of knocking?" Julian exclaimed. "Besides, that's the terror's mess, why don't you let her deal with it?"

      "Sorry, Mr. Crane!" Phyliss said, leaving the room.

      "Well, so much for my dream." Julian said.

      "Dream?" Eve asked.

      "I dreamed we were on our way to the recording studio, and our son had a recording career of his own, but then he suprised us and came home early." Julian said. Eve became sad. "What is it, Eve?"

      "I just wish we could find our son," Eve said.

      "So do I." Julian said.

      "He could be anyone. He could even be someone we know." Eve said. Eve flashed back to the night before when she had fainted and called Chad her son.

      "You think he is someone you know, don't you?" Julian asked.

      "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Eve said.

      "Who did you think was our son?" Julian asked.

      "This is going to sound crazy, but I used to think that Chad was our son." Eve said.

      "Chad?" Julian asked.

      "But that's crazy." Eve said.

      "How is it so crazy?" Julian asked.

      "Because if it was Chad, Whitney and Simone would be in love with their own brother." Eve said. Julian thought for a moment, remembering that their son was a recording artist, and that Chad was into recording.

      "If that were true," Julian said, not wanting to finish the sentence.

      "Our son would unknowingly be in love with his own sisters." Eve said. "Oh, Julian, part of me wants Chad to be our son, but what do we do if we find out that he is?"

      "I wish I knew, Eve." Julian said.
 

      The next morning, Rebecca woke up to find herself in strange surroundings. "Where am I?" Rebecca asked. She realized that she was in a living room sleeping on a couch. The clock on the wall indicated it was morning. "How did I get here?" Rebecca asked. Suddenly the events of the night before came rushing back. "Well, that explains a lot."

      "You're awake." A voice said. Rebecca turned around to see TC enter the room.

      "TC?" Rebecca asked. Rebecca realized that she had a huge hangover from the night before.
 

      Eve started to get dressed.

      "Where are you going, Eve?" Julian asked.

      "I'm going to be late for work," Eve said.

      "I wish you didn't have to leave." Julian said.

      "There's questions that have to be answered," Eve said.

      "Questions?" Julian asked.

      "About our son." Eve said.
