The tragedy of "World New Tonight" anchor Bob Woodruff's injuries and blessing of anchor Elizabeth Vargas' pregnancy means double trouble for ABC News.

Vargas and her husband, singer/songwriter Marc Cohn, announced Friday they are expecting their second child in late summer, ABC News reported.

"I told Elizabeth that during such a difficult time for all of us, it's good to get such wonderful, life-affirming news," ABC News President David Westin said.

Vargas, 43, and Woodruff, 44, debuted last month as co-anchors of ABC News' evening newscast.

Woodruff, who was reporting from Iraq, was seriously injured by a roadside bomb Jan. 29 and is being treated at the National Navy Medical Center in Maryland.

ABC said Diane Sawyer and Charles Gibson will continue revolving in Woodruff's anchor chair and a new plan for Vargas' absence will be announced in the coming weeks.
