A/N: The lovelySpaztronaut requested a story showing Sydney and Adrian's reaction when they found out they were having a baby, hope you liked it!
Sydney had been feeling weird lately. She felt that something was going on in her body. She was oddly tired and hungry all the time and at first, when the thought of a baby growing in her stomach had occurred to her, she had brushed it off and thought that she surely was just imagining. But now it had been six weeks of this and she couldn't ignore it anymore. The most obvious sign was there too, her period being late. She didn't dare to believe it, not until proper testing had been done, but her husband did. She had told him just a day after she started suspecting it herself, and now he was ecstatic. They were sitting on the edge of their bed, like so many times before, but this time it wasn't because they had been fighting, this time it was because of the little plastic stick in Sydney's hand.
"Am I dreaming?", Adrian asked, peeking over Sydney's shoulder to get a proper look at the test she held. Sydney was speechless in shock and happiness. She looked at her husband in disbelief and then looked back at the little plus sign displayed on the plastic stick that told her it was positive. This was really happening. She was really, finally, pregnant. They had waited so long for this. So many years of despair and fighting because they couldn't get what they wanted the most. The baby that they had wished and prayed for for so long.
"It's really happening.", Sydney whispered and earned a kiss on the top of her head from her husband. "We are having a baby.", She still couldn't believe it.
"Yes we are, at last.", Adrian sighed in happiness and hugged his wife tighter.
"I just can't believe it.", Sydney shook her head and blinked hard, expecting for the test to change, for her to wake up from this dream. When she realized this wasn't a dream, that this was reality, she could feel her heart fill up with love and excitement for this new being that was soon to be a part of their lives. She turned and kissed her husband while she felt how tears of joy started streaming down her cheeks and dripping down on her lap. Adrian held her tight and they stayed like that, locked in an embrace, tears streaming down their cheeks, until they felt tired. At that point, they pulled apart and dried of each others tears, giggling as they did so. They weren't entirely sure how this would turn out, but they knew they were ready for this. They were ready for a baby to bring joy into their lives. They were ready for the next step.
"I love you.", Adrian said, holding Sydney's face in his hands and staring deep into her eyes. Both their hearts was overflowing with joy and love.
"I love you too.", Sydney told him and stared into his emerald eyes. It had been long since those words were uttered with such passion and love, and they both felt how much they had missed it. Who knew a baby could heal such deep wounds? They didn't dare to dwell on the fact that it could end like the last time, with the baby leaving them before meeting them, but it was not something they liked to think about. It was all about joy now. Joy in the moment. Joy in being a family.
