Chapter 2
Two months had passed since Sydney had revealed to her families her pregnancy. And still Claudia demanded the same thing which would help her accept the child. Then cutting Irina out. Something that Sydney thought she could never do now. The relationship between them so strong and supportive, it was amazing considering the years they had spent apart.
"So Sydney any cravings yet?" Irina asked.
"Not really Mom. Nothing overly strange expect a little bit for Chocolate."
Sydney and Irina had gone shopping for maternity clothes. To help cover up her ever increasing bump.
"Well with you, it was Strawberries. There was only one problem with that. I hate the taste of strawberries."
"Whoops sorry Mom. But we're exactly opposite in regards to that I love strawberries."
"It's just like kids to be stubborn towards their parents before there even born," Sydney and Irina started to laugh.
"So how did Dixon take the news." Sydney had only just recently told him the news. Leaving it to the last minute. Considering most field agents don't get pregnant but yet again most of them were men.
"Shocked, but happy. I'm on desk duty until maternity leave, so all my scheduled ops have been passed onto Nadia"
"So that's the reason she's not been around. She's doing your jobs,"
"We'll she's a great little spy herself. Dixon keeps on harping that she's so much like me when we first started to work together. But I keep thinking back to that whole project Christmas thing again"
"Have you mentioned this to anyone?"
"No, I don't want it to get back to her, finding out that you might be forced into something is not fun. She's had enough to contend with."
"Sweetheart, we need to find out. Theirs is a person at your disposal who might be able to help you. Someone with links to the Russian secret service."
Sydney realised who she was talking about. "It's Aunt Katya isn't it."
"You need to talk to her. If someone is going to know it's her."
