"Season 6 - How I Imagine"

Chapter 5

SYD AND OWENS APPARTMENT...

They were lying in the bed, still sleepy...

-Good morning, Honey...-murmured Owen.

-Good morning, Sweetie...-replied Syd.

Her backside faced him, Owen moved closer and embraced her with one arm.

-Honey?-he whispered into her ear.-When did you stopped with the pills?

-A week ago, if I remember well. I know what are you thinking about, but sorry Hon, it could take a few months when we finally reach THAT "finish line", if you know what I mean...

-I know, I know... I'm just... sooo impatient!

-Oh, I understand what you feel.-she turned and locked him into her arms.-From now it's just a matter of time.

-Anyway, I think the last night was very useful in our case.

-Yes... Very useful.-grinned Syd.

-I don't want this Holiday to end!!!-whimpered Owen.-I want to stay in bed with you forever!

-Wohoo! Forever is long time!-smiled Syd as she kissed his neck.-Sorry, but I have to ruin your dreamworld... Rise and shine!

I have to spend the day again in the house.

-Oh, yes... Really! I have to check that new office. I start work on the 5th of january.

-Oh, no! It means 5 lonely days without you, for me!-cried out Syd.

-Such a terrible pitty!-laughed Owen.

-Yes, it is!-Syd got up.-Anyway, what do you want for breakfast?

-Hmmm...-he got up, too, moved close to her, stared into her eyes and whispered:-You...

LATER AT THE HANSEN-HOUSE...

-I see... In the next years you will be hanging here in our house and entertain us, right?-said Joanie harshly.

-What?-Syd couldn't believe her sisters words.

-Just kidding, Silly! Ofcourse it's your house too!-laughed Joanie.

-OK, OK... So what happened with you in the last 3 years?

-In the last three years nothing... But... Nothing, really nothing...-she looked very confused.

-You're not telling me something.

-Naw, really...

Jo! I know you! Stop hiding that something!

-Okay, okay... Got me! So... A few nights ago, he called me...

-"He" who?

-Oh, nobody! It's not really important anyway...

-Joanie! Who was that?!

-It was... It was...-Syd almost couldn't hear Joanies voice.-It was Burt!

-Huh?!

-Yes, I know! It's impossible! He was curious. Didn't tell any important... Just stumbeled something like "How are you? And Hannah?" or whatever then say Bye and broked the line. In the next moment he called again and told that his phone number didn't changed and it's the same and he just wanted me to know this.

-Wow! You have to call him!

-What?! Are you mad?

-No! Just call him and ask how is he...

-Uh-oh... Are you okay? I think you have fever and don't know what you are talking about...

-Ofcourse I know what I'm talking ab-...

-Syd! I cannot call Burt!

-But why?

-'Cause Doug is in the town again!

-BIG SILENCE-

-No, no, no, no, no, no... You're just kidding.

-No, I'm not!

-Two men are fighting for you?

-Aha...-said Joanie bittersweetly.

-Wow, how? My science stop here.

-My science stopped long ago, when somebody sended me roses but I didn't know wich one was that.

-Ou My God!

-My tip is Doug... Burt was too confused and affarid to do that.

-What's going on, Girls?-it was Rob. He gave them a lovely kiss on the cheek.

-Nothing!-said Syd and Joanie at the same moment.

-Aha, I see... Girl-talk... Well I broke it now, I have to tell something.

-We're listening.

-OK... Tina, my baby-girl and me having again a... baby!

-Goodie! It's so cool, Rob!-Joanie embraced him.

-Yes, it is...-smiled Syd.-Only I have to be pregnant right now and the "Hansen-rainbow" will be perfect.

-Oh, don't worry about this, babe!-said Robert as the three Hansen-children embraced each other...

PET EMERGENCY...

-Hi Dad!

-Rob.

-I have to tell you something.

-Really?

-Tina is pregnant again!

-Oh, boy! Robbie it's wonderful!

-Yes... She's in the second week.

-OK, congratulations! Where are the others?

-Upstairs. I have alredy told them.

-OK, lets go! There wasn't happened any important things today...

-Dad! Did you heared the news?

-Yes, Joanie.

-So, this happened while I was in Chicago...

-Yes, but there's one more thing...

-What?

-Dad had a "lovely" date, but he missed it (thank God!)...

-Really? Why?

-'Cause the woman was HORRIBLE!-told Rob.

-Oh no! Not again!

-She wasn't that bad!-fighted Jim.

-Yes, she was...

-OK, she was, but...

Rob and Joanie shared a laugh, Syd and Jim just smiled.

-Can you see them? This was the show every single night since you had left... "The Have-A-Laugh-At-Jim Show!" Hope you know how glad I am, you're here again.

-I know, Dad...-Syd gave him a huge hug. Then Owen arrived.

-Hello Everybody! The man with the good news is here!

-Hmmm... Owen like the man of good news... Curious... What kind of news, Hon? Let us know!

-I am the head of the Providence-office. Everybody, I said 'everybody' is under me! I wasn't in a good position like this before in my life!

-Oh, yes... You always loved to rule everything.-laughed Syd.-This thing means no good for your ego...

-Just laugh you faithless person, but I think I will nominate myself as a senator in the Withe House!

-Aha, yes, defineatley Honey... So where's Sofia?

-She never gets me serious... Anyway, I will have lots of money and freetime. That's the description of an ideal Family Man.

Syd smiled at the thought of Owen as a Family Man. "He's sooo lovely!" she said to herself then her cellphone ringed.

-Yes? Oh, hello! Yes,... OK. Tomorrow, cool. Who?! No, he can't come with us! No! Izzy, stop it! OK... Bye... Yes, bye... It was Izzy. I have launch with her tomorrow...

-Who is "he"?-asked Owen.

-Ohm... Nobody...

-Aha, so it's that David Baylor again! I should know that...

-Owen, please don't start this again, we aren't alone!-said Syd harshly.

-As you wish Dr. GoodBreedingHansen.-Owen was bad breeding and peevish. It was embarrassing but luckyly Sofia arrived.

-Sometimes it's really reassuring to know that Syd isn't perfect too in every kind of way...-whispered Joanie to Robbie.

-Shut up!-said Rob.-But anyway... I think I share your thoughts...

-Hey-hey! What the hell is this silence if everybody's here? Makes no matter... Jimbo, I bought the ingredients for the dinner and here's some chips for Pete to survive the Hockey-match. He's coming, right?

-Yes... Yes, he loves to watch the match with you...-said Robbie.-I think he had his little crush...

-Oh, Gods! Rob, stop it! I think you're wrong...

-Hmmm... Are you sure?-grinned Rob.

Sofia gave him a look...

-You know, I just adore elder men...

-Maybe Pete adore elder women... OK, enough fight for today, I have to go, Tina need help...

-Yes, we have to go too.-said Owen.-I want to talk with you Sydney.

-I didn't even met with Dad today!-She gave Owen a look.-But, okay... I have to talk with you, too...

They had left. Jim, Joanie and Sofia just standed there...

-What the hell was this freezy voice between them? I'm cold!

-I leave the Ladies to have a peaceful conversation...-said Jim and went downstairs.

-Wow, this Jim is very chivalrous...

-Anyway... It was about a man, called David Baylor, who secretley wanted them to divorce or something like this...

-God! Really?

-Yes... Owen is wild with jealousy whenever he hears that name.

-But he don't have to be jealous, right?

-SILENCE-

-Right??? I said: "Right?"!

-You know... Once Baylor kissed Syd while she went out with Owen.

-Ouch!!! Interesting... Very interesting...

-Whatever you want to call it...

MEANWHILE BETWEEN SYD AND OWEN...

-What was that?!!!-asked Owen.

-How dare you shout to me like this? I could ask this question!!! I told Izzy that he cannot come with us!

-It makes no matter until he want to meet you!

-Owen stop this right now! You embarrassed me at my whole family! Everybody heard it and it was so... so humiliating!

-Really? And that's not humiliating that this Baylor is here again and trying to own you?-he didn't stopped shouting.

-What?

-It's the same again!!! He want to care of you and everything! I thought it was my job!!! I-just-cannot-take-his-presence!!!

They were standing there in silence, staring at each other and started to understand the others problem.

-Sorry...-they said it in the same second.

Syd nestled to Owens chest and ebraced him. He locked her into his arms.

-I'm sorry, Honey... Didn't want to act like a stupid jerk. I know it was embarrassing, I felt the same...

-I know that you don't like David, (you hate him). But you don't have to worry about this... I told you that I wouldn't meet him and there's one argument what is more convincinger than everything else...

-What?

-That I love you...

-I love you too.

They shared a kiss and everything was fine... Just fine...
