To my loyal readers and anyone else who gives a Fuck, Sorry, I would have update sooner on this chapter because I have had it writen since the last chapter was posted I know it as been about a week, but what I have to say will must likely explain in all. Make sure you have everything power surge proteced, not just you computer pluges, but also your phone lines. Becuase if you don't, you will find yourself taking apart a computer to replace a modem. Only cost about fiften bucks, but it was over the forth of July weekend and I was so internet deprived!

Also, Happy fourth, happy lunch of the NASA rocket, and lets all thank the dude in Korea who decide it was such a great idea to show that he could set off a rockets and celabrate the forth of July too.

"Syd?" Eric asked cautiously.

"It's a very small chance. I repeat very small." She answered shyly.

"If it's so small why don't we go out and buy a pregnancy test and find out for sure? I mean, how much harm could it do? So you may be carrying the spawn of Satan. Nothing big. Right?"

"Eric that is so not funny." Sydney scolded, pushing off the floor with her feet making the swing go back and forth.

"Who said it was funny?" She stopped pushing for a second and gave him an angry glare. "Ok, you drive andwe go to the drug store. Remember, I'm here no matter what happens. Ok?" Eric stood up and held his hand out to her.

She grabbed it and pulled him to her car.

Ten minutes later Sydney was deciding what brand to buy while Weiss looked for munchies. She finally gave up and just grabbed a box. Leaving the isle to find Eric she ran smack dab into someone, making her drop the box and tip over their carrying basket.

She immediately bent down to and started throwing things from the floor into their basket and apologizing.

"Don't worry about it." The smooth British sounding voice responded. He bent down and started picking up things to. Sydney refused to meet Julian's beautiful blue eyes. "What are you doing here Syd?" He asked continuing to pick up the fallen items, but he soon stopped when he came upon her one item.

She looked up and stanched it out of his hand hoping he didn't have time to read it and started toward Eric who had been waiting forherfrom afar.

Unfortunately, he did read it and went after her as they were checking out.

"Why do you have a pregnancy test?" She didn't answer. "Syd?" still no answer. "Sydney?" Eric and her started for the car when Julian left his basket at the counter and walked after her. "Sydney Anne Lazarey, it would save us both some heart ach if you would just answer me." He shouted at her making her stop as Eric waited for herat the car.

"Sark, I am not a child. You do not own me. And as soon as I make it to the lawyers we will no longer be married." Sydney started for the car again. She was stopped this time by Sark grabbing on to her arm gently yet forcefully enough to stop her.

"Sydney you still care, even if it is just a little." He told her softly.

"No, I don't." She said finally looking into his eyes.

"Then way haven't you made it to the lawyers, yet?" Julian inquired.

"I haven't had time."

"The Sydney Bristow I met would go to the lawyers as soon as she could. She wouldn't wait. And she sure hell wouldn't make up lame excuse, and lie to herself. So you, Sydney Lazarey still care."

Sydney took a deep breath. "I told you not to call me that. Now, let me go."

"No, have dinner with me. We need to talk."

"That was not a question. And this is not a negation. Now, let me go; you are not going to make a scene." She responded through gritted teeth.

"I've been asked to work with the CIA, to show a sign of good faith, as you might say. I want to know where we stand before I say anything. I'll ask you again, dinner?" Sydney stared at his hand holding onto her arm while he proposed his proposition. In one swift movement, she grabbed his arm and flipped him on to his back.

He let out a small 'ouch' because of her again and stared back into her warm brown eyes now full of revulsion. "You will be getting the papers sometime in the very near future."

She turned her back on him and joined Eric in the car.

They were back at the house in another ten minutes later.

"What happened back there?" Eric asked as they made them dinner and they waited for the results to be done. They were timing the test with a little kitchen timer that Weiss never used anymore.

"He asked me to dinner. Given the last time I went to dinner with a guy to discuss something, I think it would be good to ignore any upcoming request."

"Ok, but did you have to flip the poor guy on his back…again." He asked ashe worked on making a salad for dinner while Sydney worked on the spaghetti sauce.

"So now you're on his side?" She asked.

"No… but some how you always seem to get him on his back…one way or the other. And I'm starting to see his point of view. Think about it, he ran intoyou in the store and you, his wife-"

"Soon to be ex-wife," Sydney cut him off and corrected him.

"Fine his 'soon to be ex-wife' is buying a pregnancy test. For all he knows he was the last one to sleep with you. If not then the women whom he had been worried about for the last two months was out gallivanting around with another man and is now pregnant with the this other man's child. If I was in his position I would be pounding on your door none stop right now."

As if on cue there was a knock on the door.
