Thank you to those who reviewed the last chapter. I really appreciate your input and even your criticism. We have only one chapter left after this and I'll be sad to see this piece done but I'm currently working on another X-men story. I hope to avoid the long absence I had on this story by avoiding temptation and not posting the story until it is completely written so you will probably not actually get to see the story for a while. Reviews are always welcome!
Once Upon a Dream Part XXI
Sydney was nervously pacing the small area of her apartment bathroom. Her palms were sweating and her hands shaking.
"Okay Syd what the hell is this big emergency that you made me rush down here for when I was having such a lovely time at the spa." Faye asked walking into the bathroom and sitting on the edge of the bathtub.
"IthinkImaybepregnant." Sydney stated quickly.
"You're what?" Faye asked shocked, falling backwards into the tub.
"I think I'm pregnant. No, I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant. I've taken eight tests, all of them saying the same thing."
"Have you told Logan?"
"No of course not, he's still off on that secret mission The Professor sent him on and I have no clue when he will get back and I'm bloody well freaking out!"
"Okay Syd just calm down a minute." Faye ordered getting out of the tub and putting her hands on Sydney's' shoulders to calm her down. "Okay first we need to get in touch with Logan and"
"NO!"
" No?"
"No."
"Just why the hell not?"
"I don't want him to worry. If we contact him and tell him he'll freak out and the mission will be ruined. No. We're going to keep this between you and me. I don't want anyone else to know until Logan gets back so whenever you're around the professor or Jean think of something else."
"But Syd what if it's months before he gets back?"
"Then you'd best learn to keep your trap shut."
"Fine but at least set up a doctor's appointment."
"No."
"Seriously Sydney? What the hell?"
"No doctor appointments unless Logan is there."
"But Syd"
"No Faye. I'm scared out of my mind and I want Logan to be there."
"Syd there is no reason to be scared."
"Faye I'm having a baby. With Logan. Give me one reason why the hell I shouldn't be scared out of my mind. What if he doesn't want a baby? I mean we never discussed kids. What if I'm a bad mom? What if I have to raise the baby alone? What if...what if…" Sydney broke down in hysterical cries and Faye wrapped her arms around her.
"Shh it's okay Sydney. Everything is going to be fine."
"But how do you know that?" Sydney sobbed.
"Look Sydney, Logan loves you and he's going to love this baby. Yes it's going to be strange and it's going to be difficult and scary but just wait until you get to see the look on Logan's face when he's holding his little girl or boy for the first time. Everything is going to be worth it then."
"You think so?"
"I know so. Now come on and let's go watch a movie and try to relax."
"Since when did you get so smart?" Sydney asked rubbing the tears out of her eyes.
"Oh I have my moments." Faye replied grinning.
"Okay Syd it's been two months. If you're not going to get in contact with Logan at least let me take you to the doctor for a check up." Faye stated standing in front of Sydney with her arms crossed in front of her.
"No Faye."
"Damn it Syd you need to get a check up. Just to be sure nothing is wrong."
"Know something Faye, back in the 1700's there were no such things as ultrasound machines and the women did just fine than so I think I'll be okay now."
"Fine have it your way!" Faye stomped off angrily.
"It's time to take matters into my own hands." She muttered when she was out of earshot. She reached the mansion quickly and marched straight into The Professors office.
"Professor I need you to send word immediately to Logan and tell him to get his ass home this instant!"
"Why Faye what is the matter?" Charles Xavier questioned, folding his hands in front of him.
"Sydney is pregnant and refuses to go to the doctor if Logan isn't with her."
A shocked expression passed over the older man's features but quickly faded. "How far along is she?"
"Two months as far as I can tell." Fay replied plopping down on a couch. "And no Logan doesn't know. She only found out after he had left. She absolutely forbade me to tell anyone but this has gone on long enough."
"I see." The Professor murmured. "In that case I shall inform Logan to return home."
"Thank you Professor."
"Of course Faye."
"Sydney! Sydney where are you?" Logan yelled running through the door tossing his duffle bag on the couch.
"Logan! You're home!" Sydney ran into the room and threw herself into Logan's embrace.
"Yeah Chuck called me home and said something was wrong with you." He replied holding her close to him.
"Damn it Faye." Sydney muttered under her breath. "I…I…I…" she began before covering her mouth and darting into the bathroom.
Logan followed her, thoroughly confused, but held her hair back as she tossed up the contents of her stomach.
"I'm so sorry Logan." Sydney said flushing the toilet and washing her mouth out.
"Sydney what the hell is going on?" Logan asked standing in front of her, holding her by the shoulders so she wouldn't try to escape.
"I'm pregnant." Sydney mumbled, inaudible to most but Logan heard and his eyes went wide with shock. "I'm so sorry Logan." Sydney said through tears.
She ran out the room and curled up on the bed. Logan stood in the bathroom for a minute before coming to his senses and walking into the bedroom.
"We're going to have a baby?" he asked pulling her into his arms.
"Yyyess"
"Stop crying Australia. It'll be all right."
"I'm so scared Logan."
"I know baby but we'll figure it out. You're going to be a mommy."
"Yeah and you're going to be a daddy."
"Holy crap you're right."
"We're going to be parents Logan."
"Yeah" Logan said with a smile on his face.
