Sydney was gone for the rest of the following weekend. Her and Kaleb went up north where his family owned a few cabins and it was a nice getaway. She felt much more calm and had the energy to deal with her sister. This was honestly probably the longest she had gone without speaking to her sister and she for sure missed her. She wasn't sure if the feeling was mutual quite yet because her sister was very stubborn and loved her dramatics. Oh well, she loved her anyways. 

Together they had made the decision that Kaleb would return to his place with his college friend that he had been renting with before everything changed with Sydney. She was sad to let him do that as she just wanted to be with him but understood he just didn't feel comfortable staying, given the current situation. He was bummed but upon sydney's assurance that it wasn't personally him but guys in general he let it be. He was curious how that baby's father knock her up though, that was none of his business though. 

It was early in the evening on Sunday and the sun was still up. She had driven back home alone and quietly parked and shut off her car. She sat for a moment, her hand resting on her growing belly. She smiled and eventually got out of the car and walked up the driveway and in through the front door. 

She silently set her keys in the dish and headed for the kitchen. She was super thirsty and in need of some water. As she reached in the fridge and started drinking the bottle of water she could hear movement on the steps and new that the peaceful silence would soon be broken.
