Chapter 9
Will’s Pov
‘Sydney I went down the shop to get samples of colours for the babies’ room. I like this colour, what do you think?’
Sydney was sitting with her head in her hands sobbing quietly. I wanting to help and I realised how difficult it must be for her at the moment.
‘Hey, Sydney, what is wrong, do you want to talk about it?’
I went over and hugged her tightly, she nodded slowly. I knew that it was about Vaughn and the baby. I don’t know what I can say about it, I don’t know how it feels to lose somebody I love so much, because I suppose I have only really loved one person.
‘Will, it’s so difficult. I want this baby to have a good life; I grew up without a mum and my baby is never going to know its father. I don’t want to hurt him.’ Sydney looked so vulnerable and weak like this.
‘Sydney, it will be okay. Trust me? You will be the best mother to this baby; I just know it and I will always be here for you. Okay?’ Sydney nodded and showed a faint sign on a smile. That’s better, seeing her smile like that.
‘So, what do you think about this colour? I mean we don’t know if it’s going to be a boy or a girl, so I thought it was kind of sweet.’ I was pointing to a pale violet colour; I could just imagine it now. Walking into this violet room, with the baby crying and me scoping it up in my arms and cradling it until it fell back to sleep again.
‘Will, I was thinking about that. I really like the colour, but I think I want to know if it’s going to be a girl or a boy. I’d just like to know what to expect so I can think of the future. I mean, would you come with me?’
Would I go with her? Of course I would! Wow this is such a dream, a baby. I just wish Francie could see all this.
‘Of course I will Sydney, if that is what you want.’
‘Are you free this afternoon?’
‘Yes, I will take some time off work. I will meet you at the hospital okay? Then I can properly design this room!’
Sydney’s Pov
Will is giving me so much support, it is really great. I have just been to the hospital to have the ultra scan. The baby was so beautiful, so small and fragile. I stared at it in wonder, it was amazing. I could tell that Will loved it too, the way he looked at it and smiled.
I found out the sex of the baby, and I want to talk to Vaughn… I thought it would be right, I mean it is his baby.
Vaughn, Michael. Sorry I haven’t visited sooner… a lot had been going on. Don’t be angry when I tell you this, but I am pregnant and yes, of course it is yours. I went to the hospital today for the Ultra scan and I asked the sex of the child, it is a girl Michael; you are going to have a daughter. It might seem quite strange that I am talking to a lump of stone, but I know that you are in there listening to me. I will keep you updated with the news of the baby; even though I am sure you will look down on her and protect her from harm. She will be amazing, if she is anything like you. Will has agreed to help me with the baby, I am sure you can understand that as I will struggle bringing her up, with my job and everything going on.
I haven’t heard any news about who killed you, but hopefully soon I will know, and they will get what they deserve I am sure. I have to go now; I am going to see my father to tell him the news about the baby girl. I am thinking of names now, but I might go with a French name, for you. Love you always Vaughn.
It was strange talking to him again, even though I couldn’t hear his responses. Will said he had a surprise for me, so I better hurry into work and look forward to the evening.
‘Dad, can I talk to you for a second.’
He seemed relieved that I was smiling, in fact everybody I passed was smiling at me, I was nice to smile again.
‘Sure what is it?’
‘I went to the hospital today, for the Ultra scan, I found out the sex of my baby, of your grandchild.’
‘Grandchild, now that does make me seem old! So, is it a girl or a boy?’
‘It is a little girl, I am thinking of calling her a French name, for Vaughn. I hope you understand. Have you told people in the office that I am pregnant, everybody seems to be smiling at me a lot more?’
‘A baby girl, I am going to have a Granddaughter. Yes, sorry I couldn’t keep it in. They were all quite excited by the news.’
I walked out of his office and towards my desk; Marshall was standing there with a smile from ear to ear.
‘Hi Marshall, can I help you?’
‘I heard that you were pregnant, I would like to help as much as possible. I got this for the baby, hope it’s not too soon!’
Marshall pulled out the sweetest looking grey teddy I had ever seen. Only Marshall would think of things this far ahead.
‘Thank you, only just over 8 months until I can give her this!’
Marshall smiled and went red. It was great to be back in the old work scene again.
