And a small reminder - these are all related, but in no specific order, just little moments of insight between Syd and Sky.

Sydney couldn't help but stare at the little stick in shock. They'd been trying for months now, but with no success. She'd almost given up the hope that trying would end with good results, but God obviously thought they were ready.

The box had said that if the little window showed a pink line it was negative, and if it showed a blue line it was positive. Talk about ironic color choices.

She'd waited a whole five minutes. And when she'd come back into the bathroom and had picked it up, she couldn't help but scream in surprise.

There was a little blue line.

"Oh my God, I'm pregnant."

Sky bounded up the steps of the porch, happy to be home. Both he and Sydney were taking a week long vacation from S.P.D., a perk they hadn't gotten to enjoy when they'd been Rangers, or for the last couple of years. The former Blue Ranger was looking forward to the down time with his wife of two years. They hadn't gotten to spend much time together, not with them working different shifts and assigned to different levels of cadets.

Once he was through the door, Sky tossed his keys down on the table in the foyer and hurriedly unzipped his uniform jacket. The house was pretty quiet, but he knew she was home; her car was parked in the garage.

"Syd! I'm home!" he called out, walking into the living room. She was no where to be found.

Sky grinned, and then turned for the stairs. If she wasn't down in the living room, she was probably up in their room catching a nap. He'd been noticing the change in her sleeping habits for the last week; she'd been taking extra catnaps and what not whenever she could.

He slipped his jacket off and folded it neatly before sitting it down on the chair as he entered the room then movied toward their four poster bed where Sydney lay; sound asleep, underneath their covers. He frowned slightly, seeing her old stuffed animal Peanuts clutched tightly to her chest. The only times she ever had the toy out these days was when she wasn't feeling all that great. He smiled in memory of the time he'd asked her about that. It hadn't been too long after they'd gotten married.

She told him the only reason she didn't sleep with it anymore was because now she had Sky to sleep with, to cuddle with in those times when she use to cuddle her toys. Sky had blushed at that and simply kissed her cheek.

Now here she was, curled up, and he had a bad feeling about it. Toeing off his shoes, Sky padded across the floor and crawled up onto the bed, trying not to wake her. Leaning down, he kissed her softly. "Syd, honey, I'm home."

He smiled when the sleepy grin spread across her face and her eyes opened, still swimming with her dreams. "Hi."

"Hi. You feeling ok?" he asked, gesturing to Peanuts.

Sydney could only nod and snuggle close to him when he pulled her into his arms. "I'm fine. How was work?"

"Long. I didn't see you all day, which is really weird, because we always bump into each other during the day."

Sydney sighed. "I'm sorry. I only had half a day, I had a doctor's appointment."

"Everything ok?"

She smiled. "It's gonna be, I hope," she told him, watching the fear seep into his eyes. "I'm not dying, stop thinking like that. I've just got a small situation that's not gonna clear up anytime soon."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Sky was confused when she crawled off the bed and scampered into the bathroom before coming back, something in her hands. She handed the plastic covered stick to him and then crawled back onto the bed.

Normally, Sky would ask what she was handing him, but he knew what this was. His eyes were wide when he looked down at the pregnancy test. "Sydney?"

The former Pink Ranger's face was lit up like the star on top of the Christmas tree. "I did that a week ago, but I couldn't get in to the doctor until today to confirm it. He called about an hour ago, it's positive."

Sky's mouth dropped open in shock. They were finally pregnant. "Oh wow."

"Now you can say, blue really is your favorite color," Syd teased him, and then screeched when he tugged her into his arms, his lips seeking hers out as they fell back on the bed.
