Chapter 13

Sydney's POV

It was all a bit exciting. I felt like a five-year-old on Christmas day. During the night Sydney was lit up like a Christmas tree.

He looked at me, "You're a bit excited"

"If you believe this I have actually never been in a limo just because"

"What do you mean 'just because'?"

"Well it has always been on assignments and well, it's just exciting" I said.

He smiled at me, "I'm glad you're happy"

"I'm always happy when I'm around you"

He placed a kiss on my temple, "I love you"

"I love you too"

We pulled into the driveway of the restaurant, and the driver got out and opened the door. Michael linked my arm with his and we walked into the restaurant. It was one of the beautiful places I have ever seen, "It's beautiful" I breathed.

"It's five star and one of the best restaurants in Australia" Michael said.

"Ah you've done your research" A voice from behind us said.

We turned to see a man in a suit and smiling at us. "You must be the Whitington's"

"Yes, we are" Michael said, "I'm Daniel and this is my wife Amanda"

"Pleasure, you're table is about ready" another waiter came up to the man talking to us and he nodded his head, "Yes your table is ready, if you would just follow me"

We followed the man to our table, it was very secluded and was more like a separate room. He pulled my chair out for me. "I would just like to formally welcome you to Selena's. I am your waiter for tonight, I am also the owner and I will be quite happy to help you with anything"

"Thank you" Michael as the owner/waiter gave us the wine lists

"I'll be right back to get your drinks order." With that he left and left Michael and I alone.

"What would you like to drink sweetheart?"

"I think I'd better sick to the soft-drinks" I said smiling at him, "Only because the doctor's back home said I couldn't get pregnant after the chemo, so I'm going to be playing this pregnancy very safely"

"I understand, so what would you like?"

"I'll have a lemon squash, but don't let me not drinking stop you from having a drink"

"If you're sure"

"It's fine, now I want to see a menu"

As if the waiter/owner could hear my comment he came over with the food menu's and asked for drink orders.

"Ah my wife will have a lemon squash and I will have a beer"

"Oh course" the waiter/owner left us with the food menu and went to get the drinks. He returned a few minutes later with my lemon squash and Michael's beer, but he also came with a bottle of champagne, "On the house" he said.

As much as I loved the gesture he was offering I had to tell him I wasn't drinking, "Umm" I looked at his name badge, "Matthew, as much as this a lovely gesture, I'm not going to drink this, and neither will Daniel" he looked hurt so I added on quickly "Only because I'm pregnant and I don't want to affect the child with alcohol"

"Oh that's wonderful, I'm so sorry about the champagne, congratulations, if you can't have this drink on the house you're food is free, please enjoy"

I looked at this guy, was he serious? He was going to give us our meal for free. So maybe all Australian's aren't crazy, maybe it's only the nurse and the maid at our hotel.

I rest of the meal went smoothly, I had the salmon and Michael had the muscles. We left the restaurant, only paying for our drinks, which was good. We got into the waiting limo and Michael put the barrier between the driver and us up, "Sydney, there is something I have to tell you"

"What is it Michael?" I asked concerned.

"You remember that phone call I got back at the hotel this afternoon?"

"Yes, the one you wouldn't tell me about" I smiled at him.

"Well it was my lawyer"

I looked at him quizzically, "What did your lawyer want"

"Well after our time in Paris, I called my lawyer and well I filed for a divorce, and because I only married her because of an assignment I got the divorce completed really quickly and well, now we are officially divorced"

I looked at him, he was serious, he was free. I leaned forward and kissed him, "That is the best news I have heard in a long time, well besides the fact that I'm pregnant"

The limo pulled to a stop; "C'mon I have something to show you" he got out the limo and dragged me out after him.

I looked around, "Were at a harbor, so what?" I asked.

"This is Sydney harbor"

"Ha ha so funny" I said not amused.

"Do you remember the time in LA when you threw your pager in the ocean?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Well, I have something I need to throw in the ocean" I looked at him and he went into his pocket and produced his wedding band, "Ok; I'm going to throw it in"

I watched him as he threw the band in the water. It landed with a plop and it was last we saw of it. All that was left was the few ripples that were produced by the band hitting the water, "Now that is over I have something to ask you"

I smiled as he got down on his knee and produced a blue box, "Sydney Bristow, I never stopped loving you for one second since we met, I was going to ask you this tonight no mater what, but now since we have our child to think about I think that there is no better time. Sydney Anne Bristow, will you marry me?"

Author's note: I'm sorry about the cliffhanger but it needed to be done. So this just means that you are going to have to wait to know her answer. So I'll tell you one thing though, I have already written the next chapter and you might have to wait longer if you don't review, I know it's mean but what can you do?

Thanks for everyone that reviewed my last few chapters, you're all fantastic!

Thank you all
