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. 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. I will respond to everyone next chapter…
Chapter 29Sydney was walking home Tuesday afternoon, with Becky, Megan and Aimee, when she spotted another car parked out the front of the small complex where her and Michael currently resided. Knowing that Michael was at work, she sped up her walk a little, leaving her friends rushing to keep up. Crossing Bastion Point Road, Sydney noticed two men standing next to the fence, one she recognised as Eric Weiss, Michael's best friend, and the other she had never seen before. "Eric!" she called. He looked up,
"Syd! Hey!" he grabbed her in a big hug, whispering in her ear, "Congratulations."
"Thanks Eric," she replied, turning to her friends, "You guys remember Eric don't you?"
"Yeah, we met on New Years didn't we?" Aimee asked, trying to place him. Eric nodded. "Where's Kay?" Sydney asked.
"Couldn't come, she's working or something. So I bought Dave instead. Guys this is Dave. Dave this is Syd, Becky, Aimee and Megan…I got that right didn't I?"
"Yeah you did Eric. Hi Dave. You a friend of Michael's?"
"Yeah, we went to school together."
"Where is Mike anyway?" Eric asked.
"He's at work, it's his first day today."
"Where's he working?"
"IGA. Did you guys wanna come in?"
"Sure, come on Dave." The six of them went into the small flat and sat down on the couches in the small living area. Sydney dumped her bag in the bedroom and quickly changed before coming out and offering everyone a drink.
By the time Michael arrived home just after five, Syd's friends had left, and she was busy in the tiny kitchen, trying to cook something for dinner. Michael came in the front door, "Syd, I'm home."
"Hey sweetie," she said barely looking up. Michael looked over at the TV and noticed Eric and Dave sitting there. "Hey guys. What are you doing here?"
"Just came to see how you and the girl were Mikey."
"We're good, how long you down for?"
"We're goin back on Friday."
"You can stay with us if ya want, I mean we'll both be gone most of the day, but you're welcome to stay here, we've got a couch and a spare bed. That ok Syd?"
"That's fine baby, dinner'll be ready soon."
"Ok, thanks Syd," Michael went over and gave her a quick kiss, while Eric and Dave returned their attention to the TV.
After dinner the guys were watching TV, while Sydney was busy on her computer, trying to concentrate on her English homework, after giving up on her Lit work. Dave turned to Michael, "So that's Sydney." Michael smiled happily,
"That's Sydney, the mother of my child." Dave's eyes popped out of his head, not having been told that Sydney was pregnant. "She's pregnant?" Michael nodded. "Move fast don't ya Mike?"
"Accident, but we both really want this."
"What does Bridgette think?"
"Hates the idea, reckons that Syd's been sleeping round and that it ain't mine."
"What about Jack and Laura?" Eric asked.
"Who's that?" Dave asked, confused.
"Syd's parents," Eric supplied. Dave nodded in recognition.
"Jack kicked her out, we finished moving her stuff on Sunday. Laura is so amazing, she's been really supportive of us, and she misses Sydney so much, I saw her this afternoon and she said that we're welcome to come up whenever we want if Jack's not home, because he really hates me."
"Course he does, you knocked his little girl up, he's bound to be a little pissed off about that." There was a knock on the door and Michael answered it, finding Laura Bristow standing on the other side, "I just wanted to bring this to Syd," she said, holding up a plastic bag. "She's in there," Michael told her motioning to the door into the room where Sydney was. Laura went up to the room, not noticing the other men sitting in the living room. "Was that Laura?" Dave asked quietly. Michael and Eric nodded, "She's hot, you can see where Syd gets it from," Dave said, totally serious. Michael hit his friend,
"I think she's a little old for you, besides she's married."
"Can't fault a guy for looking, can ya?"
"I can when it's my girlfriend's mother that you're talking about." Dave raised his hands in defeat, "Hey does Syd have a sister?"
"No, Dave, she's an only child, sorry to disappoint."
Sydney and Laura came out ten minutes later, "Dave this is my Mum Laura, Mum, this is Dave, him and Eric are gonna stay here for a few days. You remember Eric don't ya?"
"Yeah, I do. Hi Eric. Nice to meet you Dave," she said, shaking the boys hands. Laura talked with them for a few more minutes before she announced that she had better be getting home, "I'll see you tomorrow sweetie," she said, kissing Sydney's cheek and giving her a quick hug. "Love you Mum."
"Love you too Syd, see you guys later."
"Bye Laura." She waved as she left, shutting the door behind her. Sydney sat down on the couch next to Michael, "What you guys doin?"
"Nothin much, just talking."
"Not about me, I hope," she said, eying her boyfriend.
"I told Dave," Michael whispered in her ear. Sydney nodded her approval,
"That's fine," she whispered back. "Michael said he told you," she said to Dave who looked at her puzzled, "About what?"
"This little one," Sydney said rubbing her still flat stomach affectionately.
"Yeah he did. When are you due?"
"Late October."
"Michael said September," Eric said puzzled. Sydney shook her head,
"I thought it was but I counted wrong or something, I wasn't really in that great a frame of mind then."
"So what are you going to do?"
"Well…I'm still at school till Easter, then I'm gonna work from home, I'll still do my SAC's at school, but I'll do all my other work from home. And I got a new job too."
"Where? You never said anything to me about another job," Michael told her thoroughly confused. "I wasn't sure if I had it, I found out today. I'm gonna be working at the Golf Club in the kitchen. Waitressing and stuff, pays better than the Café."
"How many days a week?" he asked, concerned that she might be working nights while she was still at school. "Three at the most, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I told the Chef about the baby, and I'll be taking orders and doing simple stuff like that, I promise I won't work too hard, I just don't want you to be the one supporting us, I've always worked for my own money, and just 'cause I'm pregnant, I don't want to stop. We'll need the money when the baby comes."
"Fine, I just don't want you too work too hard."
"I won't. You don't need to worry about me, I can do that myself. And while I remember, Dad wants to see us one day this week."
"Why? So he can yell at us some more."
"Probably, I told Mum I'd let her know what day was good for
us." Michael nodded,
"We'll talk about it later."
"Sure, I'm gonna go to bed, I'm really tired. Night."
"Night Syd," Eric said, accepting a hug from her, "Sweet dreams, and don't wake me up too early in the morning."
"I'll try not too. Night Dave."
"Night Sydney," she gave him a quick hug too, before going back to her boyfriend, placing a gentle kiss on his lips, "Night baby, I love you."
"Night honey, love you too." She kissed his forehead once more before retreating to the bedroom, leaving the three men alone.
A/N: I'll leave it there. Not sure when the next update will be. Please let me know what you thought…until next time…:lol: Alyce :D
