Chapter 9

Man, my back's starting to ache. At least there's only a month and a half to go. Then it will be the end of the cravings especially that weird one for Yogurt and French fries. The end of feeling like the beached whale that I was starting to look like. But going through all this is worth, because at the end there will be a beautiful little baby. Well at least this is my last day of work until after the baby is born.

Sydney spotted Weiss coming towards him carrying what suspiciously looked like another baby gift. Another one to join the giant pile in what was now the baby's room since Nadia had taken over Vaughn's apartment.

"Hey Sydney" Weiss said to her. "Got something for you"

"Present for the baby? You know for once I wish that people would remember the mother in all this."

"What do you mean by that?"

"That a woman gets pregnant and then suddenly disappears behind the bump."

"Hey don't blame me, just because I am a bearer of a gift."

"I'm sorry it's the hormones talking. Thank you for the gift Weiss." Sydney said back to him.

A grimace came across Sydney's face as a sharp face as a sharp jolt of pain came across her which caused her to let out a small moan of pain.

"Syd, is there anything wrong?"

"It's fine. The baby just kicked me a bit hard that's all. I swear this one is going to be a kickboxer when it's older."

"Then it'll be just like it's mother, sister and grandmother." Weiss said laughing.

"Your probably right" Sydney said back to him.

"So last day today. Looking forward to putting your feet up?"

"Well for a few weeks. Then my life will never be the same again."

"Hey, can you come with me quickly?" Weiss asked.

"What for?"

"Marshall wants to see you. He's got something for you."

"Okay, I'm coming." Sydney said pulling herself up from the chair and started to walk away when a sharp pain went through her which dropped her to her knees.

Relization hit her then, She knew what maybe happening.

"No, it can't be, it can't be." She started to plead. Hoping that it wasn't happening, it was a mistake. A figment of her imagination.

"Syd what's wrong" Weiss asked bending down.

"Weiss. It's......" Sydney felt a trickle of water coming down her leg. Her water had broken. "The baby's coming, but it's to early. Get Michael for me" Sydney said, tears starting to stream down her face. Praying that the baby will be okay."
