Change Your Mind

Gotta love the mood swings.
Of course it will not be a one time thing.

I hope that since she admitted she loves him (even though he was asleep) she will start to consider a more pernanent arrangement with Michael.
 
she cant make Michael her booty call!! that's not fair for him.........on the other hand he'd say yes everytime is she ever asked! lol

I just have to keep telling that to myself so I can't stop being angry at Sydney! She loves him, he loves her, they are having a baby, so why not accept his proposition, or at least give their couple another chance?
As for your website, I might give it a try, I don't want to give up on Alias yet, it would be like giving up on a part of my life that gave me lots of happiness and gave me the chance to meet many great people :cry:

Chapter 22

The second week in June brought Sydney’s next doctor appointment. The evening before her appointment, Sydney called Michael to make sure he knew what time her appointment was, only to find that he was incredibly sick. He had apparently caught a stomach bug or eaten something bad because he was utterly miserable. Sydney then assured him that he didn’t have to go with her to the doctor. He needed his rest and missing one appointment wouldn’t be the end of the world. Michael reluctantly agreed but insisted she stop by after her appointment to give him the ultrasound picture she would receive.


Sydney’s appointment was routine. The doctor asked her questions and answered any that she had before performing the ultrasound. Though that was Sydney’s second ultrasound, that time, she heard something she’d never heard before. “What’s that?” she asked the doctor when the strange noise continued to be emitted by the machine.

“That’s the baby’s heartbeat,” the doctor told her with a smile.

“Oh…,” Sydney said in disbelief as she stared at the grainy screen. It was so strong and comforting in a way that it brought tears to Sydney’s eyes. Laying there on the exam table she felt so guilty for actually being angry when she first found out about her pregnancy. She wasn’t angry about it; she was excited and anxiously looking forward to meeting the new little life growing inside her.

“Would you like to know if it’s a boy or a girl?” the doctor offered with a smile.

“You can tell that?” Sydney asked. The doctor nodded. “No… I mean, not yet. I’ll check with Michael first.”

“Alright, well I’ll put it here in your file if you ever want to know,” the doctor told her. Then, the doctor printed out a copy of the picture displayed on the ultrasound screen and handed it to Sydney. “Baby’s first picture,” the doctor smiled at her.

“Michael, how are you feeling?” Sydney asked when she walked into Michael’s apartment that evening to find him on his couch in boxers and a t-shirt.

“Eh,” he said. “I managed to eat some crackers for dinner and I’m feeling okay so maybe it was just a twenty-four hour thing.”

“That’s great,” she smiled at him. She slid onto the couch beside him and pulled out the sonogram picture from her purse. Michael took it from her and looked at it with awe. He stared at it for a moment then turned it upside down and cocked his head to the side to look at it again. Finally, when he saw nothing, he turned to her with a helpless look on his face.

“Here,” Sydney laughed. She couldn’t make out the picture very well either, but she repeated what the doctor had said to her.

“Oh okay… I see it,” he told her.

“Do you really?” she asked.

“Nope,” he laughed. “How’s our little bump doing, though?” he asked as he set the picture aside.

Sydney patted her now very slightly rounded belly and said, “Good. The doctor says we can find out if it’s a boy or a girl, if you wanna.”

“Oh…,” Michael said as he moved his hand to rest atop hers on her belly. “Well, I don’t think I wanna know. I want to be surprised.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay,” Sydney agreed. “We’ll be surprised.” She then leaned over and kissed his forehead gently before saying, “Well, I guess I’ll go.”

“Oh, you don’t have to,” he told her. “You can stay.”

“You’re well enough for me to sleep over?” she raised an eyebrow at him.

“For you to sleep over, yeah,” he said.

“Okay,” she agreed before kissing his forehead again and sliding into a more comfortable position on the couch. Michael then adjusted his own position, resting his head against the side of her body and leaving his one hand lingering on her belly.

“How goes the pregnancy, Sis?” Nadia asked. Sydney had volunteered to help Nadia take the girls shopping for new shoes and the two of them were walking the mall, pushing Penny and Jenny in their strollers.

“Okay, I guess… I mean, it’s fine, I just…I heard the baby’s heartbeat,” Sydney told her.

Nadia’s face lit up. “Wasn’t it great? Oh, I loved hearing that. Of course with me it was hearing two of them together, so it was amazing,” she sighed happily.

“Yeah, it was amazing,” Sydney agreed. Nadia gave her a questioning look. “Oh, I don’t know… I don’t know! I’m just going crazy, I guess. I feel so bad about being so upset about my pregnancy at first, because now… now I really, really want this baby,” she said, covering her stomach protectively. “And…there’s Michael.”

“What about him? I mean, has anything changed?” Nadia asked.

Sydney looked away briefly before looking back to Nadia and admitting in a guilty tone, “I’ve been sleeping with him.” Nadia’s jaw dropped slightly as she let out a shocked gasp. She then gave her sister a disapproving look. “What?” Sydney said in a defensive tone. “It’s not like I’m gonna get pregnant.”

“That’s not the point,” Nadia told her. “The point is that you’re messing with his emotions – not to mention your own.”

“I know, I know,” Sydney groaned. “But I don’t know what to do! I don’t want to let Michael go, but…,” she let her voice drift off. They’d been through the ‘but’ so many times it was really pointless to do it again.

“Marriage isn’t so bad, you know,” Nadia told her softly after a few moments of silent walking. “It’s actually really, really nice. You get to spend your life with someone who loves you and supports you and even if they drive you a little insane sometimes, it’s okay because it’s part of why you love them.”

Sydney looked down towards the ground, not sure of what to say. “Guess this isn’t the best time to tell you but I’m pregnant,” Nadia said.

“Really?” Sydney gasped.

“Yeah,” Nadia laughed. “After hearing about your baby, Eric started talking about how he really wanted a boy, so we tried and…,” Nadia shrugged with another laugh.

“This is so great!” Sydney exclaimed. “We’re going to be pregnant together!”

“I know,” Nadia laughed. “Eric said if we get another set of twins he’s moving out of the country because that will mean three babies in the family in addition to these two,” Nadia said, gesturing towards the strollers they were pushing.

“True... but this is so exciting,” Sydney said before hugging Nadia tightly.
 
awww sisters pregnant together... so cute! and nadia's right... syd should really quit messing with their emotions. she should just admit that she loves him and that michael loves her dearly as well... :love:
 
Syd so wants kids and she is bordering on wanting marriage. I hope she gives in cause her and Michael are perfect together.
Great update
 
Nadia is correct. Sydney sleeping with Michael is only leading him on, if she continues to decide against marriage. And, with Sydney finally admitting to herself that she loves Michael won't like him being with another woman. So she better come to the realization she wants to be with him.

Plus, now that she's looking forward to having the baby...and with Nadia pregnant too. Being a family will become more important to Sydney.

I think there is a chink in the wall Sydney built up about not getting married.

Plus, Nadia is pregnant again. Not too surprising since she is still young and has 2 young ones already.
 
Poor Eric...I hope Nadia has twin boys...:lol: Syd just needs to realize that she truly loves Michael and should just tell him and that's she's ready for marriage...Can't wait to see happens tomorrow!

-erin :smiley:
 
aw, that's so cute. they're gonna be pregnant together.
and nadia is right, sydney needs to stop playing with michael's emotions. she just needs to stop being so stubborn and marry him!! :lol:
 
ah... Sydney is finally doing some thinking... She's accepting and enjoying her pregnancy which is awesome. :D
Now she just has to accept to marry Michael.
