For your amusement, a glance into my thought processes:
OK...
Lily and
Rory can't have kids yet. That narrows it to
Ari, Trist, and
Draven. Darn it! Trist is gay, so no go. I LIKE
Sydney too much to do that, too. Uh, I wonder if she'd mind if I made
Draven walk out on
Sydney, cause I really don't wanna make
Ari have a kid... WHY did I have to make
Daniel the oldest...? Uh, I'll go with
Draven and
Sydney and change it if it messes up RS's visions of the future.
Wish: We'd like Trist and
Bastian to adopt a son or daughter (we don't care) from a Central American country, aged eighteen months to four years.
Writing: We were not overly surprised when
Daniel and
Kathryn came to tell us they were having another baby - babies seem to be a way of life around here. Shortly thereafter,
Eoin and
Autumn found out they were expecting - that, too, was hardly a shock to us. Just days later, Cata and
Xander discovered Cata's pregnancy, which oddly enough
was unexpected - likely because she's our oldest little girl.
A few months later, little
Charlotte was born, followed exactly two weeks later by
Lucian and
Eva (they were born the same day!).
Just two days later,
Sydney showed up on the front step crying.
Winter gave her a cup of tea to soothe her nerves, and she haltingly told us what had happened. She had been feeling nausiated for the past few days and had gone to the doctor that morning, finding out she was expecting. Shocked, frightened, and also excited, she had gone home to prepare an elaborate dinner to surprise
Draven. To her shock, he was furious at the news, and slapped
Sydney across the face before storming from the house.
Sydney had waited for hours, calling him on his cell phone every twenty minutes. She had finally gotten in the car (
Draven took the truck) and come to us, in hopes we knew where
Draven was.
Sydney's son, named
Caspian Daniel after our oldest, was born last week. We have only heard from
Draven once since he left, when he called to make sure
Sydney hadn't been physically injured.
He apparently returned to his apartment once, taking his belongings and leaving his keys, but didn't contact us.
As it now stands, we have taken in
Syd like our own daughter, providing her support in her time of need.
Daniel especially is livid with his "lazy, cheating, lying, rude, punk of a brother", and has vowed to tear him limb for limb because of what he did to
Sydney.
Drama, pregnancy, and babies galore - that's the Steedman family.
