Chapter 6:
That weekend Sydney and Michael were walking through the park down the road from their house. They'd stopped to get some ice cream and sat down by the lake to eat it. After they finished eating Sydney was sitting between Michael's legs with his arms wrapped around her waist, her hands were on top of his, when all of a sudden Sydney jerked her head up off his chest. "Oh my god!" she cried "the baby, it moved." A smile spread across her face. "Do you feel that honey?" she asked Michael.
"Yeah, Yeah I do" he replied as a smile spread across his face too. She turned her head and he lowered his head to hers and kissed her passionately. They broke away after air became scarce. They continued to sit there with their hands on Syd's belly.
Angela and Eric were walking through the park when they noticed Sydney and Michael lost in each other's eyes. They walked over to them and Eric cleared his throat to let them know that they were there. Sydney looked up at them. "Hey guys" she said. She motioned for Angela and Eric to sit down. "What are you guys doin?"
"Nothing we thought it would be nice to go for a walk" Angela replied.
"What about you two?" Eric asked.
"We were out walking and we stopped to have some ice cream" Syd replied.
"How you been feeling Syd?" Eric inquired.
"I'm better now, I think the morning sickness has stopped. You'll never guess what."
"What?" Angela and Eric said in unison.
"The baby moved." Sydney replied smiling.
"Oh my god, that is amazing."
"Yeah, I think I can believe it now, I'm pregnant" Syd said as she leaned in closer to Michael and kissed him gently on the lips, he soon deepened the kiss and they seemed to forget that Angela and Eric were there. Eventually Syd and Michael pulled apart and they talked with Angela and Eric for about an hour before they got up and went back to their apartment. As Syd and Michael left Angela commented to Eric about how perfect Syd and Michael were together and how amazing it was that they were having a baby. Eric agreed and the two of them got up and headed back towards their apartment.
When Sydney and Michael arrived back at their apartment Michael went into the kitchen to get them a drink and Sydney went into the living area to put on a video. She pulled out her favourite movie and put it in the DVD player. Michael came in carrying two glasses and sighed when the Pearl Harbour menu came up on the screen, "We're not watching this again, are we?" he moaned.
"Well what did you want to watch?"
"I don't know, anything but this, I've seen it too many times."
"We're gonna watch this, then I promise we can watch whatever you want" she replied as she chose 'play' on the menu. She settled back into Michael's arms and took a sip of her drink and sighed contentedly. Michael kissed the top of her head and settled to watch Pearl Harbour for the hundredth time. After the movie was over Sydney got up to change the DVD. She turned around to face her husband and leaned down to gently kiss his forehead. He smiled in response and Sydney's heart felt like it was going to melt. God she loved him, he was perfect in everyway and now they were going to have a baby. She sighed happily and moved towards the TV to change the DVD. She slipped 'Armageddon' into the player, she knew that Michael loved that movie. She settled back into his arms as the movie began and felt his arms wrap tighter around her waist. She picked up his hand and placed a light kiss on it. He responded by gently kissing her neck. By the time Armageddon had finished Sydney was asleep in his arms. He picked up the remote and turned off the DVD player before changing the channel. After flicking through the channels for a while he chose to watch the news. There was nothing really interesting on. Sydney stirred in her sleep and he looked at the clock. He carefully moved her so he could get up. He climbed up from the couch and put a cushion down where he had been sitting and lay Sydney's head down on it before he went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. He looked in the fridge and found nothing so he ordered pizza. He went to grab a blanket to lay over Syd to keep her warm and after doing that he sat down at the table with his briefcase open and began to read through some of his reports. He was disturbed half an hour later by a knock on the door. He found some money and went to answer the door. He paid the pizza man and put the pizza on the bench while he put his work back in his briefcase. Looking over at the couch again he watched Sydney's chest slowly rise and fall. He smiled at the sight of her sleeping with her hands protecting the small bump that had formed over the last day or so. Michael began to eat his pizza when a sound jerked him out of his thoughts, his eyes began to scan the small room and he began to relax when he realised it was only Sydney sighing in her sleep. About an hour later he was sitting at the table reading the paper when Sydney woke up. "Hey" she said her voice crackly. She looked over to the table and watched as Michael read the paper. She climbed up from the couch and walked over to the table. She kissed his head gently and he looked into her eyes. They began to kiss and she pulled him up from the table. He moved into her arms. He broke the contact, took her hand and lead her into the bedroom.
