Authors Notes: Thanks to all the people who have left reviews. I wasn't sure what people would say but I appreciate positive feedback and also constructive criticism. For any queries with stuff in chapters 1-5, see authors notes in chapter 6 for explanation. Anyway, on with the next chapter and people please review, I love getting them and they provide me with the inspiration I need to keep going with this and my other fics. I pretty much have most of this planned out, but if it starts to suck majorly, please tell me, and I'll fix up the suckiness. Sorry for taking so long to update, I haven't had the time to write, cos I was at crutches Kimby's (aka Gimpy) all day last Sunday and I've been riding her horse for her, and I was at Gimpy's most of Thursday arvo (when I was gonna do some writing, we ditched school to play Playstation), and I spent most of the weekend there too. I won't update again for at least another week, cos I've got restaurant service this week for school, and I still have to ride Rebbel for Gimpy. Ummmm, I think that was all I had to say…
Dolphingurl1-Hey! I thought that it was about time Becky came round to see Syd, and that they made up, cos Syd's gonna need her friends, if ya know what I mean. Thanks for the happy birthday! :D
Daisyduke947-thanks for reviewing, and I pity you having to start school again, I've nearly finished, I'm soooo happy :D
Cristy-thanks for reviewing :D
Kay10197-I can't really picture Sloane as a principal either, I don't know why I chose him to be the principal, I just did. Thanks for the happy birthday! :D
Sarah-thanks for reviewing. Thanks for the happy birthday! :D
And for those that care, I didn't have the chance to get drunk on my birthday, cos I fell asleep at like 9:00 afta we got home from dinner. It kinda sucked.
And heres the chapter…
Chapter 20Sydney rolled out of bed early, and sprinted off to the toilet, heaving her guts up continuously. When she'd finished, she rinsed out her mouth and went back to the bedroom to grab what she was planning to wear to school. Trudging through the flat once again, she went into the small bathroom, shutting the door and dumping her clothes on the cold slate floor. The sun was shining brightly through the bathroom window, and Sydney slid the glass open a little to allow some cool air into the room.
Twenty minutes later she came out of the bathroom, finding Michael up making breakfast for them. "Hey sweetie," she called as she disappeared into the bedroom, coming back out seconds later. "Hey gorgeous," he replied, slipping his arms around her slender waist. "How are you feeling?"
"Like shit," she replied honestly. He kissed her gently and hugged her closer to his body, offering as much support as he could, he knew that she needed it. Today was the day that Sydney had been dreading: Her first day back at school. Although Becky hadn't told anyone else about Sydney's pregnancy, Syd knew that it didn't take long for gossip to spread in the small town, but she was hoping to stall the rumour mill for as long as possible. Michael was taking her in that morning, even though the school was less than a kilometre down the road. They had to meet with Arvin Sloane at 8:15, so they were up earlier than usual, so they could make it to the school on time. Michael continued to make their breakfast and a few minutes later he handed Sydney a plate of pancakes. "Here sweetie, eat these." Sydney looked at him strangely.
"I'll probably throw these up again."
"Syd, you have to eat." She was about to protest again but he silenced her with a quick kiss. She ate the pancakes reluctantly.
Sydney and Michael walked into the main office of Mallacoota P-12 College a little before 8:15, giving them time to collect their thoughts before meeting with Arvin Sloane and Laura, who was still legally responsible for Sydney. Sloane called them into the office a few minutes later, and they were surprised to see Jack sitting in there, next to Laura. Sydney instinctively gripped Michael's hand tighter as they took a seat opposite Sloane. "Good morning Sydney, Michael," Arvin said brightly, obviously trying to dissolve the tension that was evident between Jack, Sydney and Michael. "Good morning Sir," Sydney replied for them both, Michael nodded his head and shook Sloane's hand. Jack sat there in silence, staring at his daughter, while imagining the best way to kill her boyfriend. Jack wasn't happy about being at the meeting, Laura had dragged him in, even though he'd made it clear to Sydney that he wanted her to have an abortion before word of her pregnancy got out. He was currently sleeping on the couch, because Laura was pissed off with him being so unsupportive. "Well Sydney, I've spoken to all other members of the staff, and while many of the Primary teachers were hesitant about having you attend school, we decided that it would be unfair not to allow you to complete your VCE this year."
"Thank you sir."
"We will need to finalise enrolment details," Sydney nodded,
"Where are you currently living?"
"With Michael," she paused to glare at her father, "Dad kicked me out. He
doesn't want me to have this baby."
"Well, I'll need you to confirm your enrolment details with your co-ordinator by the end of next week. And we'll need to discuss your intended program, once you are unable to attend school."
"Ok, when does that need to be done by?"
"You've got three weeks, because the arrangements need to be made by March."
"Ok."
"You are also to organise a meeting time with the School
nurse, for you and Michael. I'd suggest that you arrange that in the next week
or so." Sydney nodded,
"Anything else?"
"No, I would like to see you once you've spoken with the nurse though."
"Thank you Sir, I really appreciate this."
"It's my pleasure Sydney." Sloane stood up and hugged Sydney quickly and shook Michael's hand again, before leaving the room, reminding Laura about the briefing. The four of them vacated the office and headed outside. Jack was the first to speak, "I don't want you to have this child Sydney, I've made that clear, but if you insist on keeping this child then I think it would be best if you two were to marry."
"I'm sorry Dad, I'm not ready to marry yet. I'm seventeen, I've got the rest of my life to get married. As much as I love Michael, I'm not going to marry him just because we're having a baby. I won't do it."
"I have to agree with her, I'm sorry Mr Bristow, I can't get married yet. Because even though I love your daughter, I'm not ready to marry, because if we do, it'll be for all the wrong reasons. Maybe one day, when we're both ready, but not now. Not because she's pregnant." Jack was once again silent and he walked off towards his car, climbing in and driving out of the small car park, leaving Michael and Laura to comfort a hormonal, sobbing Sydney. The first bell of the day rang, indicating that it was time for the school's staff to report to the staffroom for their morning briefing. Laura kissed the top of Sydney's head and ascended the stairs, entering the office, and shutting the door behind her.
Michael and Sydney went to his car to collect her bag, which Michael insisted on carrying for her. They walked across the concrete that covered a large area in front of the main building, and went up past the library, round a corner and into the hall via the doors near the toilets. Sydney stopped in front of one of the lockers that lined the wall, and opened the latch. Michael dropped her bag and they unloaded her books, stashing her bag on top of the lockers. Sydney led Michael down the hall, through the main locker area and out into the warm sunshine. They sat in the gazebo that was currently empty, and Sydney leaned back into Michael's arms, resting her head on his shoulder. "What am I going to do today?" he asked, as they watched dozens of kids come around the corner, "Where did they come from?"
"The bus must be here."
"Ah-huh, and how many people go to this school?"
"A couple of hundred, not that many." Michael nodded again. Several kids came up onto the gazebo, while others sat on the steps that were across the front of the structure. Sydney and Michael were enjoying a comfortable silence when they spotted Danny walking towards them with another guy, who Michael presumed was Noah. Danny saw them as he came around the corner and was about to come over to them when the bell rang, indicating that it was time for Homegroup. Sydney stood up and kissed Michael quickly, he deepened it and they separated after one of the primary teachers banged on the window, to tell Sydney to go to Homegroup. "I'm not looking forward to this," she whispered. "I'll walk you." Syd smiled at him and they walked into the main building and down the dim hallway. Sydney stopped at an open door and kissed Michael again whispering into his ear, "I love you, I'll see you at lunchtime."
"I love you too." Sydney went into the room, taking a seat next to Becky, and watching Michael disappear from sight.
A/N: I'm gonna leave it there. I'll try and update again soon, but I'm not going to make any promises about when it'll be. FYI, a mile equals 1.6 kilometres and a kilometre equals 1000 metres. Please review and tell me what you thought… Until next time… LOL Alyce :D
