Chapter 23: Makeover

Francie arrived at the door five minutes after Vaughn had left. Sydney opened the door and flung her arms around her best friend.

"Its so good to see you." Sydney squealed.

"You too. I figured you wouldn't be up to much so I brought some popcorn, chocolate and a video."

"That's sweet of you, Francie." Sydney said smiling and showing off her dimples. Francie made her way inside and placed the food down on the kitchen tabletop. She showed Sydney the video.

"I've never seen this video before. It's called 'Never been kissed.' For some strange reason the guy on the back looks just like Vaughn. Don't you think?"

Sydney took a look "Yeah I can see the resemblance."

"Well first I thought I'd give you a make-over. I think over exposure to that hospital has done something to your skin!" Sydney burst out laughing and soon Francie joined her, doubling over with laughter.

"Sit down" Francie ordered "I'll just get my 'Francie's make-over' bag from over there."

Francie soon returned and pulled out some make-up accessories.

"What do you want first? Lipstick?, blusher? What ever you want?"

Sydney peered into the bag.

"Oooo blue eye shadow. Lovely shade."

Francie pulled it out of her back and applied some to Sydney.

"Hey Girlfriend you look great!" Francie cried. "Here try the lipstick."

Sydney smeared the lipstick across her lips and Francie held out the mirror for her to see.

"Cool." Sydney commented.

"Now add the cheery blusher please."

Francie complied and added the blusher to Sydney's cheeks.

"You look great Syd. I still can't believe you're going to have a baby."

"Yeah it's going to be kind of weird have another member of the household. I can't wait though. Dad's going to be so proud being my baby's Granddad."

"I'm sure he will and I'm so happy for you. I finally got to meet this Michael Vaughn you kept talking about and he's so cute! I mean look at his eyes. They're bloody green for god sake!"

Sydney laughed "Calm down now Francie. Michaels mine."

"Not if I can help it!" Francie joked, with a gleam in her eye. She ran to the bedroom and retrieved two pillows.

"Pillow fight!" she called, before hitting Sydney over the head.

Sydney whacked Francie and soon feathers were flying about the place. Donavan was jumping up and down trying to catch them as they sailed to the floor.

Francie flopped back down on the sofa.

"Ok you can keep him. Do you want to watch the video now?"

Sydney nodded "Sure go put it on. I'll fill some bowls up with popcorn and chocolate."

Soon the two woman were lounging on the sofa, eating food and watching the film.

"Do you want to see another trick?" Weiss asked Vaughn for the near 10 times that night. Weiss had spent most of the time showing Vaughn his new yo yo tricks.

Weiss flicked the yo yo and walked it across the floor.

"Man that was good." He commented to himself. "That one's called 'walk the dog'"

Vaughn smiled "You're good Eric. Better than me."

"Have a go. You just put the loop around you finger and then flick the yo yo downwards. Go on give it a try." He handed the yo yo to Vaughn who gave it a try. . The yo yo went straight downwards and came back up again.

"Hey man you're pretty good." Weiss commented.

"Thanks"

Eric took another drink of his tequila shot.

"So how do you feel to be nearly a Dad?"

"Kind of weird actually. I still can't believe Syd and I will have a baby in the house."

"I can't wait to show the little tyke how to use a yo yo. It's going to be cool." Weiss said.

"Yeah Syd and I need to go baby shopping soon. I'm turning the spare bedroom into the baby's room."

Vaughn pulled a colour sheet out of his bag.

"Would you like to do the honours of choosing the colours for the baby's room?"

"I would be most happy to." Weiss replied.

He looked down at the colour sheet.

"I like the colour green. You won't know the baby's sex before it's born so why don't you pick a boy colour and a girl colour. That way the baby can't scream it's head off if it doesn't like it."

"Good thinking man" Vaughn replied, smiling.

"So I was thinking that this green and that yellow would be nice. What do you think?"

"Excellent choices Eric. I'm sure Sydney will be as happy to use those colours as I am. You can help paint it if you like."

"Er maybe I'll leave that to you. Too much strain on the back you see."

"Yeah….yeah" Vaughn joked "And pigs can fly."

"Have you chosen a name for the baby?" Weiss asked.

"Well if it's a boy it's going to be Joseph and if it's a girl it will be called Alex."

"Alex is a beautiful name. I really like your choices."

"Thanks man." Vaughn smiled and patted Weiss on the shoulder.

"Up for another round of tequila shots or should we head for the pool table."

"Pool table for me."

"Okay then. A round of pool it is."

Vaughn and Weiss made there where over to the pool table to play the game.
