Chapter 35
“Sydney?” Michael asked again after a few minutes with no answer. Sydney just stood there, rubbing her side confused. “What’s wrong?”
“Uh, nothing… I think.” Sydney mumbled, her hand still on her side.
“You sure?” Michael looked at her questioning.
“It’s still two weeks, it can’t be the baby.” Sydney shook her head, dismissing the thought, though more for herself than for Michael.
“So no contractions? Baby’s not coming?” Michael asked, wanting to make sure.
“I don’t think so.” Sydney replied as certainly as she could.
“Maybe we should go and check.” Michael suggested, already standing up so that Sydney not even had the chance to say no.
“It’s late at night Michael and I’m sure it’s nothing.” Sydney replied, sighing lightly.
“Come on, the hospital is open 24/7.” Michael said demanding yet softly. He didn’t want to take the chance that Sydney really was having the baby, no matter what she said.
“Fine.” Sydney said, a bit grumpily about having to leave the apartment at such a time. “But I bet it’s nothing.”
“Okay, if it’s a false alarm then I buy you ice-cream or something.” Michael promised grinning, glad she agreed to go.
“I hold you to that, mister.” Sydney pointed her finger at him and laughed.

At the same time while Sydney was at the hospital, being examined by a doctor, at the house of Sydney’s parents rang the telephone.
“Yes?” Jack answered the phone harshly, angry at being woken up at such a time.
“Mr. Bristow, Sydney appeared at the hospital a few minutes ago. Though I’m not sure if she’s having the baby now.” Someone, Jack dimly remembered having paid to keep him informed, told him.
“Okay, I understand.” Jack said, hung up the phone and woke up his wife.
“We gotta go. Sydney might be having her child.” He got out of bed and began dressing up.
An hour later they were sitting on board of a plane, flying to Los Angeles.

“Everything is alright. You aren’t going into labor.” The doctor told Sydney. She had examined Sydney half an hour ago and had just come back with the test results. “The baby’s fine but it could happen any day so it’s good you came.” She smiled at them. “You can go home now.
“Okay, thanks.” Sydney said and the doctor left the room.
“You know, there’s this sentence that comes to my mind.” Sydney looked at him smirking, “I told you so.”
“Yeah, you were right and I was wrong.” Michael admitted though he was still glad they went. Now they were certain that it was nothing. “But you heard the doctor. Any day.”
“Yeah yeah.” Sydney rolled her eyes but hearing that it could happen any day, fear was creeping up inside of her. Until now she hadn’t really paid any thought to that day. Probably to save her sanity. But now she couldn’t deny her fear of that day anymore. “You still owe me that ice-cream.” Sydney added, shaking the thought off of her.
“I know. Let’s go home.” He held out a hand to her to help her stand up. “Ice-cream tomorrow. Or do you want it today?”
“You mean tonight.” Sydney reminded him, chuckling lightly. “But no, I prefer tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow it is.” Michael smiled and they left the hospital, heading home.

“Sydney had left the hospital two hours ago.” Jack said after coming back from the reception of the hospital.
They had arrived in Los Angeles half an hour ago and had gone straight to the hospital were Sydney was supposed to be. But being there Jack had been told that Sydney was already released again.
“So she hasn’t got the baby?” Irina looked questioning at him.
“No, but they told me it isn’t long until she will.” Jack answered, reaching into his pocket for his cell phone.
“Who are you calling?” Irina asked, wondering what her husband was planning now.
“Our hotel, booking a room for two or three weeks. There’s no need to fly back to Washington if Sydney could go into labor any time.” Jack explained why and whom he was calling.
“Right, hopefully this all will be over soon and it will turn out the way we want it to.” Irina sighed.
“Oh, it will.” Jack assured her.
