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.

Florence

"Breckin. His name is Breckin." Florence adjusted the buttons on her hospital gown to make them fit looser. "I've thought about this name for a while now. I am aware that the name might sound rather unusual to most people but so is our family." She hesitated for a second as she tried to gauge her sister's reaction. As always, Sydney's bright smile encouraged her to keep talking.
"I know that Breckin is special. You should've seen the fierce look in his eyes. I've never seen such a passionate look in someone. He might grow up to be just like his granddad." The thought of it let Florence revel in the past, remembering the days when their parents took them to the coast side during summer time. They would spend two full weeks swimming in the ocean and basking in the sun simply to escape the stressful life of owning a company. Not that Florence and Sydney knew much about it when they were young. For them it was the time when mom and dad weren't arguing and the frown on dad's face vanished. He was a passionate nature explore, constantly looking for a hidden gem to find when climbing a mountain or following a hidden path. Mom, in the meantime, helped the girls to learn how to swim and when they grew older how to ride a wave. Despite her quiet nature she was a wild soul in her own ways.

Florence missed her parents terribly. Time had healed her wounds but left scars that couldn't be removed. And now that she began a new chapter in her life, she was more than determined to give her son the same wonderful childhood she had had. They didn't need Kai for their own adventures.
