who named their kid pilot inspektor :blink:
um but i think those names are offensive to the kid


yes, those names are offensive to anyone LOL. btu "not normal" names are the norm now so non people names for pets aren't necessarily offensive anymore since anything is now a person name.

anyway, that guy from that NBC show.. umm.. my Name is earl? is that what it is called? anyway, the actor, Jason lee, his son is pilot inspektor, NO JOKE.
E! once did a show with all the strange baby names.. there is the actor whose sons are like racer, rocket and 2 other R's that i can't remember.

oh dear... thats terribly sad for that poor baby
 
aw...I feel so deprived because I've never had a puppy. My parents are cat people and I'll continue to be bitter about that, lol.
I completely agree with he ridiculous baby name issue...seriously, you're just setting up your poor kid to get beat up on the playground for having a name like Lampshade pickle, lol. :rolleyes:
 
i can only assume you're asking 'why did you name the dog a person name'
and the answer would be that i always name pets "person names" because they are people to me and i find names like spot/digger/ whatever you call your pet offensive to the pet
yes, i am a normal person too :angelic:
don't get me wrong, my dog is spoiled to the bone. one of my sister's friend's cat's name is thomas. i just... wouldn't name my pet something like that.

i do have about 9 nicknames for my dog, though.
 
That was great ... aww soo cute ... love it ... soo glad everything is going so great for Syd ... love how she acted for Christmas morning (such a little kid) ... aww a puppy ... thanks for the PM ... more soon please
 
wow, i've missed a lot! wonder what happened? i've been so darn busy and saved saturday morning for my reading. i didn't think i'd have so much!

her nightmares were nicely written, and i'm so glad she wasn't alone anymore when she had them. that scene in s3 when she's by herself after that horrid dream with the tubes makes me bawl like a baby, just cus she's so alone.

i'm so glad that jack isn't mr unfeeling in this fic. that he accepts her, regardless of what happened, that he just wanted his baby girl back. that he was lost too without his wife. sniff sniff..

nice!

Chapter 15
After all the puppy excitement, Sydney was very hesitant to leave her father’s house, but she was excited to meet Michael’s mother; excited and anxious, that was. After the present exchange, Michael and Sydney’s father cleaned up the wrapping paper (which Jess was having a blast rolling in, diving in and attempting to eat) while Sydney got ready to leave.

Once she was ready, Michael practically had to drag her away from the puppy, who was sleeping adorably atop a sweater Sydney received for Christmas. Finally, they left and began the two hour drive and encountered a surprising amount of traffic for so early on Christmas morning. “So, you really like your puppy, hmm?” Michael smiled at her.

“Oh Michael, I just love her so much! How did you ever get the idea to get me a dog?” she asked.

“Well… I was talking to your father and-”

“Wait,” she cut him off. “How often do you talk to my dad?”

He shrugged. “Occasionally.”

“And what do you talk about?” she asked curiously.

“You… other stuff,” he shrugged.

“Wait, is he one of your patients!?” she asked, slightly afraid.

“No! No, no he couldn’t be. It would be like conflict of interest or something. But no, we just talk,” he shrugged. “Anyway, he mentioned how you used to have a dog that you loved when you were little.”

“Ohh Penny…,” she sighed pensively. “I haven’t thought about her in a while… she died when I was seven or eight.”

“Right. Well, I suggested maybe getting you another dog, but only if he wanted because I’m not really supposed to have dogs at my place and he thought it was a good idea so…,” he let his voice drift off as he shrugged.

“Well, it was a wonderful idea,” she grinned.

Then, they fell back into silence as they drove. Sydney looked out the window at the passing trees and other scenery as she nervously twisted the necklace Michael had just given her. “Syd, what’s wrong?” Michael asked her finally.

“Oh, it’s just…,” she sighed. “Well I’m worried about what your mother will think of me… I mean, does she know about my… freakishness?”

“Freakishness?” he laughed softly. “Well, I’m afraid you’ll have to be a bit more specific beca- HEY! I was kidding,” he groaned when she smacked him.

“I’m serious!” she groaned.

“I didn’t tell her anything, Syd. I wasn’t sure if you wanted her to know,” he told her truthfully.

Sydney sighed and looked down at her hands, which were clasped tightly in her lap. “Well…I suppose there is no point in keeping it from her… I mean, it will probably come out later on anyway, but I don’t think Christmas is the best time to bring it up.”

“No, probably not,” he laughed softly. “Besides, there is nothing you have to worry about because she’s going to love you,” he told her with a reassuring smile. She gave him a small smile in return.

~*~

“So… is this where you grew up?” Sydney asked cautiously when Michael pulled into the driveway of the ranch home where his mother lived.

“Nah, we lived further north and towards the coast more, but then when I graduated high school and decided to come to UCLA my mother decided to move closer… although this isn’t exactly closer. I think it’s probably close to the same distance, but this is where she found a job… so,” he shrugged.

“Oh,” Sydney laughed softly. Then Michael took her hand and linked their fingers together as they walked up the front walk.

“Mom, we’re here!” he called as he walked in the front door.

“Oh goodness! You’re early! I’ll be down in a moment!” a voice called from upstairs.

“Take your time,” Michael called back as he pulled Sydney into the very decorated living room.

“Wow,” Sydney exclaimed at the sight of all the tiny Christmas figurines and other assorted decorations around the room.

“Yeah, Christmas is my mom’s favorite holiday,” Michael told her quietly.

“I hadn’t noticed,” Sydney laughed sarcastically.

Michael rolled his eyes. “You should have seen it a few years ago when she went all out. I swear you could have seen the house from space.”

“Oh no!” Sydney gasped.

“Yeah, it was… bad. Especially since I got stuck having to help her put it all away in the basement,” he rolled his eyes.

“Do I hear you complaining already, Michael?” his mother asked when she appeared on the stairs wearing a dark green sweater with a tiny Christmas tree pin near the collar.

“No, of course not,” he said as he walked over and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. “Merry Christmas, Mom.”

“Merry Christmas to you too. You must be Sydney,” his mother beamed when she turned to Sydney, who was standing aside bashfully.

She nodded and said timidly, “It’s nice to meet you, Mrs. Vaughn.”

“Oh well, it’s wonderful to meet you too, sweetheart,” she said as she gave Sydney a hug. “But please, call me Amelia; everyone does. Mrs. Vaughn makes me sound so old.”

“No use trying to lie about your age now,” Michael smirked at her. Sydney was shocked by his comment until his mother rolled her eyes.

“I have a horrible son. Why is such a sweet girl like you with him?” she asked Sydney.

Sydney giggled slightly as Michael feigned horrible offense. “Ouch Mom, that one really hurt.”

“Mmhm, I’m sure it did. You two must be starving though, come on and we’ll get some food on the table,” she said as she ushered them back through the house. Sydney noticed immediately the incredibly warm atmosphere of Amelia’s home. In addition to the slightly excessive amount of Christmas decorations, there were pictures of her son everywhere along with photos of other people, presumably family members. Sydney even thought she might have spotted something that had been an art project of Michael’s when he was in grade school. Mostly though, Amelia’s house had a feel that it was lived in and loved in, which made Sydney feel safe.

“So, Sydney, Michael mentioned something to me about you going to school?” Amelia asked during their meal.

“Oh… yes, I’ll be staring nursing school in a few weeks,” Sydney told her.

“Oh that’s wonderful, but I didn’t realize you were so young. You seem like you’re in your mid-twenties,” Amelia told her.

“Oh well, I’ll be twenty-three soon,” Sydney told her. “I just…”

“She took some time off,” Michael interjected for her.

“Oh well, that’s perfectly alright, dear. I took a year off myself before going to school. Of course, I had no idea what I wanted to do… unlike this one who practically wanted to be a doctor since birth,” she rolled her eyes as she gestured towards her son. Sydney giggled. “Oh well… I suppose it’s better than wanting to join the circus.”

“Right,” Michael laughed. “Although I can juggle fairly well.”

“Don’t even start,” Amelia warned.

~*~

“So, did you have a good Christmas?” Michael asked Sydney later that evening as they were settling down in the guest room.

“Michael, this is the best Christmas I’ve ever had,” she told him honestly.

He smiled, leaned over and gave her a kiss. “Me too.”

Aw, you sure do love Christmas, don't you? Or at least you love writing Christmas scenes. :D

Amelia is so sweet. She really likes Sydney already, doesn't she? :smiley:
 
I was just wondering did Amelia have any presents and a tree? Or did opening presents not happen for her because she was alone, except for having Sydney and Michael over for dinner?

Thanks for the PM.

Chris
