ATD: unanswered questions

[Bekah]

I figured Lake was pregnant at the end.

" Instead she was alone with the sort of recurring dream a long- 
suffering movie heroine would expect to wake up from to find herself  
pregnant at last."

She wakes up from the dream first (bad dream)  - to find herself  
pregnant - at last.  This is  what she's been wanting for so long but  
not by Deuce.
