Chapter 3
Vaughn came home from work at six that evening and found Sydney cooking.
“Why is the table set for three people?” he asked.
“I took the liberty of inviting my dad for dinner tonight. I figured we should tell him he’s going to be a grandfather before someone else does.”
“Nobody else knows.”
“Yeah. But they will soon. And I wouldn’t want the news to get around to him before we do.”
“Good idea. Any other plans I don’t know about?”
“Yeah. We’re going to the hospital to visit Will after dinner.”
“Great. I’m glad I knew.”
“I’m sorry sweetheart but you were gone all day.” Just then there was a knock at the door and Sydney went to answer it. “Hey dad.”
“Hi sweetie. How are you feeling?”
“Good. Come on in, we’re ready to eat.”
Jack walked and Sydney led him to the dining room area where he greeted Vaughn. Sydney brought the food from the kitchen and they all began to eat quietly. Toward the end of dinner, Sydney couldn’t stand the silence any longer.
“Dad, there’s something you should know.”
“What is it Sydney?”
Sydney looked at Vaughn and he took her hand. “We’re pregnant.”
Jack stared at them for a moment as if he didn’t know what to think. “Well then. Congratulations. You two will make fine parents. I hope you’ve thought everything through. It is going to be kind of awkward having a child in this life- what with your jobs and living separately and all. Personally I don’t know what you were thinking.” Jack’s voice got louder and louder as he spoke. When he finished he stood up and pushed his chair in. “Thank you for dinner,” he added and walked out the door, slamming it behind him.
