"Sydney you o.k. in there?" Karen tapped lightly
on Sydney's bathroom door hoping to get some reaction
from her. It was Thanksgiving now and for the last
month Karen had tried her best to be good company for
Sydney but lately this stomach flu that she had was
starting to bother her. The door opened and out walked
Sydney white as a ghost and with dark circles around her
eyes. Sydney tried to smile at Karen but she
didn't have the strength for it. Lately she didn't
have the strength for much. She tried no to worry Karen
but she had a pretty good idea what was wrong and was
worried on how to come up with a good excuse for
Karen. She had been lying to her for the last month
about not remembering where she had been or what
had happened but she remembered. She remembered every
second with such detail that she had no need to
close her eyes to remember because with them wide
open she could recall every moment spent with....
"Sorry Karen what were you saying?" Karen sighed.
She didn't know what was going but Sydney sure got
over her Nigel depression pretty quick after coming
back from El Paso, Texas and now was acting like she
was o.k. Which she thought was good but dare she say
it scary? Karen moved to sit next to her on her bed,
"Sydney maybe you should go see the doctor this stomach
flu of yours is getting pretty serious. You run to
bathroom at the drop of a hat. What's wrong? Don't
you trust me?" Sydney held on to Karen's right hand
and laid her head on Karen's should, "Karen I think
I have an idea about what's wrong. I'm pregnant."
"Karen you still with me?" Sydney let go of Karen's
hand and turned her to look straight in her eyes.
Karen began to cry and gave Sydney a hug, "I'm sorry
Syd. What are you going to do now? Since you
don't remember what happened which I guess is good
now that this has come up but. Ooh Syd I'm so
sorry." Sydney was sad and happy at the same time.
Happy because she remembered with whom she
shared this joy with and sad she couldn't tell Karen
the truth. Sydney let go of Karen, "You'll see it will be
o.k. with all the bad things that have happened lately this
is good no matter how it came about." Sydney
patted Karen's hands, "Now if I remember correctly
we've got a turkey waiting to be eaten." Karen smiled
at Sydney's obvious ability to bounce back from this
new tumble and decided that she wasn't going to drag her down.
