##################################
Sydney was the first to wake the next morning. She felt odd, like her body was betraying her. Then all the sudden it happened. She felt extremely sick to her stomach. Jumping out of the bed, she tried her best to rush and not wake the other two as she raced to the bathroom and puked her brains out. She tried to think back to what she ate, but nothing she could think of that she ate was any different from what Seth had and he clearly was not sick. If this were food poisoning, she thought she would have felt it more last night instead of the next morning like this.
Her mind was racing a thousand miles a minute trying to figure out what was wrong, making her dizzy in the process causing her to grab her forehead to help steady herself. Then it hit her like a bolt of lightning. Before they had left to come meet her family, which turned out to be Seth's family as well since they were half-siblings, she had been researching about pregnancies. Things to avoid, the best way to help with the added weight, anything that would give her an edge during her pregnancy. Not that she minded the extra weight during her pregnancy, she just wanted to make sure as much of it did not linger around after she gave birth. She was more worried about how she looked at herself than what Seth would think of her as she knew that he loved her unconditionally.
What hit her was morning sickness. She wasn't sure this was it but it was a high probability since her and Seth had been having unprotected sex for a while now and she was off birth control finally. They badly wanted a child of their own to raise and show what a family was like and them being siblings would not stop that dream, that was made clear after the night before last and yesterday's activities as well. There was only one way to prove her theory of being pregnant, she would need a test.
When she was finished vomiting, she quickly brushed her teeth to get that nasty taste out of her mouth and also since she needed to go out and liked to have clean hygiene, got dressed and headed out. She knew it was early enough so that she could get out and come back without being noticed but just in case, she would get some good coffee and bagels at the coffee shop across the street from the hotel.
She headed down the elevator then out of the hotel. Luckily the front desk clerk had told her of a Walgreens that was on the corner at the end of the block. She made haste to get there as quickly as possible and purchase three different brands of pregnancy tests just to be sure. She made her way back to the hotel and used the bathroom there, making sure to flirt a little with the front desk clerk and even let him know she would bring him a bagel as well since she had to use the ladies room prior.
Each test she used showed positive results. She could barely contain her excitement as she exited the bathroom and had to tell someone. That same front desk clerk got an ear full as she yelled jumping in joy as she hugged him. When she finally calmed down and saw he looked disheveled. She then explained to him that she just found out she was pregnant and he congratulated her.
Sydney just about skipped out the door and across the street to the coffee shop. She ordered six bagels, a hot chocolate and a bottle of Coke for Seth and two cappuccinos. She could barely contain her excitement as she waited for her order to be ready.
Once she had her order, Sydney headed back to the hotel and gave the bagel, complete with cream cheese, to the front desk clerk and thanked him for his help. She then made her way back up to the hotel room. As she entered, she heard light noises coming from the bedroom and assumed that Seth and Katie were up and about now.
Sydney set the stuff down and called out, "Honey, I'm home!"
Seth came out of the bedroom. He had wondered where she had gotten off to. He had checked the bathroom when he got up to pee but she was neither there nor anywhere else in the hotel room. "And where have you been my love?" he said coming out of the bedroom, only wearing basketball shorts. He was caught completely off-guard as she squealed as she launched herself at him.
Seth lost his balance as he caught Sydney. Her legs wrapped around his body as they both fell over the back of the couch and rolled over the couch. Seth was quick to think and wrapped one arm around her as tight as possible to hold her in place as the other one gripped the couch stopping their tumbling.
Katie came racing out of the bedroom as she heard the racket wondering what had happened. "Oh my god! What happened? Are you two okay?"
"Yeah. I think we're ..." Seth began to say but couldn't help but notice Sydney's giggling and the 10,000-watt smile that was on her face. "Umm. Everything okay Syd?
"Remember when we talked about starting a family?" she asked but was hardly able to contain her excitement.
"Yeah?" he replied wondering where this was going.
"Well... we already started!" she yelled. "You're going to be a daddy!"
Seth's eyes went wide. His dream had come true. "I'm gonna be a dad?" he yelled. He hugged Sydney tight before realizing he may hurt her and his child before releasing her.
Sydney got up once Seth had released her and he jumped up following her dancing around the hotel room. He even hugged Katie jumping with her at how excited he was. Sydney could only smile and squeal in delight herself as he paraded around. Again, Seth came over to Sydney and lifted her up, twirling her around before setting her back down and hugging her.
Katie couldn't believe how happy Seth was to be a father. She knew that Seth loved Sydney more than anything, even himself, but he was treated so bad by his own family that she would have thought that he wouldn't want to have children himself. She had never been so wrong in her life.
She had also made her decision as to whether she was going to stay with them or stay with her mother. However, there was something she needed to know first.
"I want to say I'm so happy for the both of you," Katie said as she walked up and hugged both Sydney and Seth congratulating them. "But before I ask my question, I want to say that I have made my decision and your answer to my question will in no way change my decision."
As Katie looked like she was fighting her own demons on what was on her mind, Seth and Sydney sat down on the couch while Katie sat in the nearby chair. She was nervous and didn't know how to broach the subject but decided that honesty was the best, especially since she didn't want to get caught in a lie and then have them kick her out or worse.
"First I want to say that it is extremely hard for me to ask this of you both," she started as her hands trembled. She had the worst butterflies in her stomach at the moment and it made her almost sick to her stomach. She quickly closed her eyes and sighed. She then jumped, feeling something on her.
Looking down, she saw Sydney had placed a hand on her leg to try and calm her down. "Sweetie," Sydney started to say in a calm and loving voice, "You are safe here. There is no reason for you to be so nervous around us. Do remember that we are family and will always be there for you."
Tears started to fill Katie's eyes at the love and affection Sydney and Seth were showing her. She nodded to Sydney not able to say anything and looked to Seth. He was smiling at her lovingly showing his support as well. "I-I-I'm sorry but this is hard for me to ask given how bad Seth was treated, along with the fact I was involved with it." She took a deep breath and wiped her eyes, trying to calm her emotions and nervousness. "I would like to ask if Seth would be willing to give me a child. I have wanted one for sooo long and seeing how happy he is knowing he will become a father, I wanted to know if he would be willing to father mine as well."
Sydney and Seth looked at each other for a moment. They had been able to tell what the other one was thinking for a while with just a look. They had reasoned that it was some sixth sense or something due to how connected they felt but recently realized it was more due to them being related or could actually have nothing to do with this in the first place.
Sydney smiled knowing what Seth was thinking and looked back to Katie who now had her head hanging, her brunette hair covering her face. She could understand Katie's nervousness and fear for asking it. "Katie," Sydney said with that same sweetness to her voice, "I will let Seth give you his answer, but I will say that I fully approve of this."
Katie's head shot up, instantly focusing on Sydney. She expected them to flat out say 'no', but Sydney had given her approval and with a huge smile at that. She looked over to Seth, who was stone-faced at the moment. She couldn't figure out what his response was and just hoped that he would agree as well.
"Well I guess I all falls on me then," Seth said, now with both women looking at him. He sat there for a minute before feeling a slap on his arm, "Ouch!"
"That is what you get for making my sister wait. Now stop fucking with her and give her your decision. I know you made it already," Sydney said with a funk to her voice. She had figured out when Seth was screwing with someone and when he was honestly thinking it through.
