Sydney smirked at her. “Of course, you think I’d just leave you here after you damn near fell limp into my arms? I think not and I pity anyone who tries to tell me differently.” She stated, her eyes rolling. Kaleb kept his mouth shut and was back to his normal self. He still wasn’t sure if that helped their strained relationship any but at least he felt in his own heart that it was the right thing to do. He quickly stood up and cleared his throat a bit. “I’m gonna go make some calls, you guys enjoy.” He said and then darted out of the door. 

Sydney could sense a change in her sister, she was still the same person she’d always known and loved but something in her shifted since her son was born. It was kind of a neat thing to see....But, Sydney would be lying if she wasn’t worried the same thing won’t happen for her. What if she’s like their mother and they don’t connect? What if she screws up? What if it changes everything she’s ever known? A thousand thoughts ran through her usual free spirit. How had they swapped positions? She was not at all use to all this conflict within her. There had been a few times she’d wanted to confide in her sister about it but the few times she tried she didn’t really feel like talking about their absent parents. Understandable but it was part of their history and how could she be sure that her own parenting would be influenced by them? She was sure her mom didn’t set out to be nearly estranged from her daughters but it happened and she wasn’t sure how to get herself out of it all. 

“I’m Really glad you guys are okay, Flo.” She said smiling. “You had us worried for a minute.” She stated, her eyes watering a bit before she looked away and gathered herself. “Your boy is a cute one. I already see you radiated with love for him. I’m so proud of you. Do you have any names in mind?” She asked, her eyes meeting her sisters tired ones.
