**Chapter 2: Heading Back to Miami**

The sun was setting over the Manhattan skyline as Dorothy and Lucas packed their bags, said goodbye to their friends, and headed to the airport. The news of Dorothy's pregnancy had sent shockwaves through their relationship, and they had decided to return to Miami, Florida, to start their new life together as parents. As they drove down to Miami, they reflected on their past, their relationship, and their future. The conversation was filled with a mix of excitement and anxiety. Dorothy couldn't help but think about how her life was about to change. She was going to be a mother. At her age. The thought still felt surreal. Lucas, on the other hand, was ecstatic. He had always wanted to be a father, and now he was going to have the chance. He glanced over at Dorothy, who was staring out the window, lost in thought. "Hey, are you okay?" he asked, reaching out to take her hand. Dorothy turned to him, a hint of a smile on her face. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just trying to wrap my head around everything." Lucas squeezed her hand. "I know it's a lot to take in. But we're in this together, okay?" Dorothy nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Lucas. He had been her rock since the moment she found out she was pregnant. She was lucky to have him by her side. As they drove through the night, they talked about their plans for the future. They discussed finding a new place to live, reconnecting with old friends, and starting their new life together. The hours passed by quickly, and before they knew it, the sun was rising over the Miami horizon. They pulled into their driveway, and Dorothy felt a sense of nostalgia wash over her. They had lived in this city for many years, and it felt like home. As they pulled into the driveway, Dorothy's eyes landed on the house they had lived in for so many years. It was a beautiful Mediterranean-style home with a lush garden and a sparkling pool. "Wow, it's been a while," Dorothy said, a smile spreading across her face. Lucas nodded, his eyes shining with excitement. "I know. It feels like we're coming home." They spent the day unpacking and settling back into their routine. As they worked, Dorothy couldn't help but think about how much her life had changed in the past few weeks. She was going to be a mother, and she was starting a new chapter in her life. As the sun began to set, Lucas turned to her and said, "You know, I've been thinking. We should call the girls and catch up." Dorothy nodded, a smile on her face. "That's a great idea. I'm sure they're all dying to see us." Lucas pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Hey, Rose! It's Lucas. We're back in town, and we've got some news to share... Yeah, we're free tomorrow. How about we meet for coffee?" Dorothy raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement on her face. "I think we're in for a wild ride," she said, smiling at Lucas. As they waited for the Golden Girls to arrive, Dorothy couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness. She was back in Miami, surrounded by her friends, and starting a new chapter in her life. What more could she ask for?
