Where I Belong…Chapter 1Sydney smiled as he took her hand and led her to the middle of the dance floor. As the first bars of the song filled the room Sydney thought of the first time she had heard the song and smiled to herself, she looked at his face and knew he was thinking of the same occasion.
This day had been a long time coming but it was worth the wait.
I hear the wind across the plain
A sound so strong - that calls my name
It's wild like the river - it's warm like the sun
Yeah it's here - this is where I belong

"Dad, can I talk to you please?" Sydney asked following her father out of the conference room at SD-6
"Of course, what was it you wanted to talk about?" Jack asked turning to look at his daughter
"Well actually I was just on my way out to lunch, if your not to busy you could join me" Sydney tried to convey that what she wanted to talk about couldn't be discussed in the Credit Dauphine building
"I have a few things to sort out quickly if you could hang on a minute"
"Sure, I'll meet you by the cars"
"Okay" Jack walked away quickly
Sydney sighed and leaned against the wall not quite sure why she had chosen her Dad as the person to turn to during this particular crisis. Usually she would have asked Vaughn to help her but she obviously couldn't do that this time, her Dad just seemed the natural second choice, he could help her disappear. Completely.
They entered the small café around the corner from the 'bank' and the waiter recognising them took their orders immediately.
"So…" Jack prompted leaning back uneasily in his chair; he was never one for starting conversations
"I have a problem and it's a pretty big problem, I don't think you'll be very happy with me but I don't know who else to ask for help" Sydney said sounding lost and afraid, Jack wanted to reassure his daughter but he didn't know how, besides if Sydney was this scared to tell him it was probably going to be something he didn't want to hear. They sat in an uncomfortable silence for a while, Sydney trying to build up the courage to pass on her news Jack trying to think of all the possible problems she could have.
"You see the thing is I'm pregnant!"
