title: The Breaking Point
author: Bates, Aiden
description: Vinny and Lance have the show business bug. Vinny's an Italian kid from Ohio coming to Chicago to try to make it as a singer. Lance is a Jewish kid from all over the place, hanging out at improv shows and open mic nights. They meet and find an instant attraction, and team up that very night: partners on and off stage. The ups and downs and hardships of a life in the spotlight are one thing, but Lance has a condition that he thought was just a family joke, some legend passed down just to goof with kids: his dad is the third son of a third son, and it turns out Lance is too, and with that comes the strange ability to get pregnant. Lance thinks it's a joke right up until he realizes it's true, and has to tell Vinny what's happened. That's one more crazy thing thrown at the pair in the pursuit of fame, and the only question is: will the love they have for each other keep them together, or tear them apart?
