A/N: Thank you all for the good humor! I'm glad you enjoyed the joke. Here's a rather short update, but I almost have the next one finished too, so it should be up soon. Also, Sark will be finding out soon (as in the next update!) So just a little more patience please.

………

"Do you remember when June meant the start of summer vacation?" Weiss questioned casually.

Sydney laughed and accepted the glass of orange juice Weiss was handing her. "Yea, those were the days. Now June means my sixth month." She gasped suddenly and pressed her hand against her stomach gently. "You know there are days when I'd almost take the nausea back."

"Is it kicking?" Weiss grinned excitedly and came around the table. "Can I feel it?"

"No, it's not kicking anymore." Sydney shrugged. "I'll let you know next time." She nibbled at the omelet Weiss had prepared for her. "Thanks for coming over this morning."

"Of course, you know I'm ready to come anytime you call me!" Weiss told her. "That's why it's so convenient that we're neighbors." He settled back into his own chair and continued eating his breakfast. "I didn't want to bring it up, but when you called, you weren't sounding like yourself…is anything wrong?"

Sydney hesitated for a moment, not quite ready to speak what was on her mind. She had stayed up for most of the night debating the idea in her mind, and by morning she had finally settled on a decision. She called Weiss because she needed to tell someone, and he was the only one she relied on for these conversations.

"I've made up my mind about the baby." She told him.

"Oh?" Weiss tried not to let his concern show in his voice, but it was difficult. "What have you decided?"

"I'm going to give it up." She announced. Her tone was resolute, but her voice wavered slightly.

Weiss knew she wasn't completely content with the decision. "Are you sure that's what you want?"

She shook her head. "It's the only way for things to work. I can't raise a child alone. I can barely take care of myself!"

"Sydney, you're the strongest woman…hell you're the strongest person I know! And I'm not just talking about physical strength. You could beat up me and all the other guys in the office…at the same time!" Weiss smiled.

"I could not." She protested, though a part of her felt curious about whether or not it was true. She knew she was in great shape. Well, not so much now with the pregnancy…

"Doubting your strength shouldn't be your reason. You are more than capable of taking care of a child. Plus, you wouldn't be alone. You'll have all of us to help you. I could be here anytime you need me, and your dad I'm sure would be more than willing to help you…and Dixon…"

"I'm not afraid of raising it alone…" Sydney told him. "It's not about that…"

"Okay…"

She could tell he wasn't convinced. "It might be a little bit about that, but really I just can't stand the thought of raising a child when I'm not even positive who the father is!"

"I thought you were confident that it was Simon."

"I think it is. He's the only option I have, but I don't have a way of being absolutely certain!" She paused briefly. "Did I ever tell you that when Vaughn first found out I was pregnant, he thought it was your baby?"

Weiss almost spat his orange juice out on the table. "What?"

"I know, it's crazy, isn't it?" She laughed. "He was suspicious of how much time we had been spending together. He had convinced himself that we were having some sort of relationship…"

"I can't believe you haven't told me this sooner! It's the craziest thing I've ever heard." Weiss's eyes leaked tears from his intense laughter. "I can't wait to mock him for that one!"

She shared his laughter for a moment, but then settled down again. "If Simon is the father…I don't think that'd necessarily be any better than not knowing. I know I wouldn't be happy raising his child."

Weiss calmed down quickly. "But it will be your child. He's just a glorified sperm donor."

Sydney smiled. "I know, but I've made up my mind." She felt a kick in her stomach again, but tried to ignore it. "It'll be better this way." The baby wouldn't settle down. She placed her hand over her bulge. "This child deserves two parents who love it, and love each other."

"If you're mind is made up, than you have my support."

"Thanks."

Weiss's cell phone rang and he glanced at the ID briefly. "It's Vaughn." He answered the call. "What's up?"

Sydney stood and started clearing the dishes as Weiss took his phone call. She tried to give him his privacy, but couldn't help overhearing his side of the conversation.

"No, I'm not at home. I'm with Sydney." He paused momentarily. "Yea, we're having crazy wild sex and making lots of babies!" He lost himself to his hysterics again.

"You're such a jerk!" Sydney playfully smacked him on the arm as she came to take up his breakfast dishes.

"We're just finishing up breakfast." Weiss corrected himself on the phone. "Should we head on over there?"

Sydney waited for Weiss's response. When he nodded to her she moved into her bedroom to change out of her sweatpants and into more appropriate attire for the office.

"Syd, how you doing in there?" Weiss called through the closed door to Sydney, when he was off the phone.

"Fine, I'll be out in just a second."

"Don't rush. They can wait." Weiss told her.

"Weiss, stop babying me." Sydney warned him, still shouting through the closed door.

"Right, sorry." He backed away from the door and sat down in the living room to wait for her. "Can we stop for coffee on the way to the office?"

"Wasn't I asking you just a few minutes ago if you wanted me to make some coffee?" Sydney exited her bedroom and lectured him teasingly.

"Yea, well I changed my mind."

"Fine, we'll stop for coffee, but we better leave now. We're already running late and I promised Dixon I wouldn't use my pregnancy hinder me from my daily duties, so we can't use it as an excuse." She slung her purse over her shoulder and headed for the front door. Weiss quickly followed.
