Chapter 4:

They woke up early the next morning and just lay there content in each other's arms. The alarm went off and Sydney leaned over to switch it off before getting up to have a shower. Shortly after Sydney went into the bathroom Michael got up and followed her into the bathroom. He found her bent over the toilet again, throwing up. "I don't think I'll get used to this" she joked after she rinsed her mouth out. He just laughed and they climbed into the shower together. Fifteen minutes later they climbed out and continued to get ready for work. After breakfast they climbed into their cars and left for work.

Sydney pulled into the parking lot at St Mary's College and drove around trying to find a parking spot. Finding one she parked her car and climbed out before heading into the main building of the school. She smiled at her co-workers as she entered the school before heading to check her messages. Collecting them she hurried to her desk and sat down to read through them. Almost immediately after she sat down the urge to be sick came back and she knocked her chair over running to the bathroom. As she was coming out she ran into Angela, who was just arriving for the day. "Syd, your back!" she cried.

"Yep, I told you I would be."

"How are feeling?"

"I'm better, thanks."

"What did the Doctor say?"

"Well."

"Come on Syd"

"Ok, I'm pregnant."

"Syd, that's so great" she cried as she hugged her.

"Thanks." They walked over to their desks and sat down to prepare for their classes. The bell rang signalling that it was time for their staff briefing. They reluctantly got up and headed into the staff room. As soon as everyone was seated the Principal began speaking. In the middle of the briefing Sydney had to excuse herself, to go to the bathroom. The other teachers looked at each other puzzled because as Sydney ran out of the room with her hand over her mouth. Everyone looked towards Angela, they knew that the two of them were close, but instead she signalled for the briefing to continue and Sydney joined them moments later. After the briefing was over the Principal asked Sydney to stay behind. "Sydney are you ill?" she asked.

"I sorry that I had to leave."

"Are you ill Sydney?"
"I'm pregnant."

"How far along are you?"

"Nine weeks."

"Ok Sydney, if you need to take more time off I understand. That will be all."

"Thank you." Sydney turned and left the room to head for her first class. She was halfway through her tenth grade English class when she was sick again. This time she didn't make it to the staff toilets; she had to rush the student's bathroom. When she returned she quickly apologised to her students and started to resume her lesson when one of her students interrupted. "Excuse Me Mrs Vaughn? Are you feeling ok?"

"I'm sorry about that class, that may happen a lot over the next couple of weeks."

"Why Mrs Vaughn?"

"Well." she began "I'm pregnant."

"Congratulations" the class said in unison. After that they resumed the lesson. At lunchtime Sydney was sitting down eating with Angela when her cell phone rang. "Hello."

"Hey gorgeous." It was Michael.

"Hey sweetie."

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm a bit better now, I've only been sick a couple of times."

"That's better." Syd and Michael continued to talk for another fifteen minutes before they had to go back to work. Angela had already left to prepare for her next maths class and Sydney went to prepare for her next class as well.

Across town Michael was sitting in his office at Martin and Associates. He was deep in thought when Angela's husband Eric approached him. "Hey man. What ya doing?"

"Hey Eric, I'm trying to concentrate on work, but I guess I'm distracted."

"Is Syd ok?" he asked worried.

"Syd's pregnant" Michael replied.

"Congratulations man" he replied slapping him on the back. Michael looked down at his watch "Damn, I'm late for a meeting. I gotta go," he said rushing off to another room. Eric stood there shaking his head.

By the time Michael got home Sydney was back and had began to cook dinner. He walked over to her with his hands behind his back. "What have you got behind your back sweetie?" she asked. He pulled his arms out from behind his back to reveal a giant teddy bear. "For you" he said as he moved closer to her before gently kissing her. "That is so sweet. I love you Michael, you're so sweet."

"I love you too Syd. You mean everything to me."

"Your everything to me too babe" she said before kissing him passionately. After several minutes they pulled away and Sydney continued to make dinner. After dinner they settled down to watch Law and Order. About midway through, Sydney got and went to bed. Michael joined her not long after and they fell asleep in each other's arms.
