Chapter 2

After calling for back up for the guys, all Sydney could do was pace and wait. When Walker told them how the phone call ended all she could think about was that little blonde who had so much of her mother's features and her father's determination and good nature. She could remember when the little girl was brought home after her rocky entrance into the world. Sydney could only hope that her little girl would be as special of a child as Angela was.

She let her mind drift to Gage's proposal…

Three years ago Gage took Sydney on a very romantic cruise on the Caribbean for a week. They had been together for about two years now and were very much in love. "Hey Syd," Gage said one night, "There is a dance on the main deck tonight. Would you like to go with me?" "I'd love to, but I thought you said you hated dancing," she replied sweetly. "I never said that. I just said that I wasn't very good at it. But with some coaching and a good partner like you I bet I could improve."

"Yeah right that would be the day," Sydney muttered under her breath just loud enough for Gage to hear.

"I heard that," he said approaching his petite partner. "Now your going to get it."

"Don't you dare," Sydney laughed seeing his intentions. With that Gage leaped at her and started tickling her.

"Take it back and I'll stop," he said, clearly enjoying this as much as she was.

"Okay, okay. I take it back. With me as your partner maybe there is some hope for you." He gave her a warning glare that made them both laugh.

After changing into their evening attire, off they went to the dance and stayed out for most of the night. They headed back to their cabin at about 2:30 in the morning but as they reached their door Gage hesitated, an action that didn't go unnoticed by Sydney.

"Is everything okay Gage?" she asked with a little worry in her voice.

"Yeah, well I just wanted to say something before we go in."

"Okay."

"Well we have been together for a few years now but I feel like it's been more than that. I've loved you since I met you. Just seeing you in walk into a room makes me feel like glowing. I want to wake up holding you in my arms forever. And well I… I mean will you marry me?"

"Oh Gage. You bet I will! I love you so much and you just made me the happiest woman alive!" Sydney said, beaming.

Sydney smiled at the recollection and then her mind drifted to telling the family…

Everyone was at the Walker ranch for the annual BBQ and they all could tell that something was up. Ever since Gage and Sydney had gotten back from their cruise two days ago they spent so much time together and when they weren't together all they talked about was each other. As they all sat down to eat Alex blurted, "Okay you two what is going on?" "What do you mean?" Sydney asked, knowing exactly what she was talking about. The look on everyone's faces made the couple laugh and then Gage said "I asked Syd to marry me and she said yes!" Everyone cheered and then the wedding planning began. That's when Angela was made flower girl.

"She looked so sweet in that little gown Alex bought her and was never more excited when she found out I was going to have a baby. She is so attached to that baby and she better be okay so she can meet this little one as soon as she is born," Syd thought, "Oh God please let her be ok." With that she went on pacing, hoping for a phone call, hoping for some good news.
