(A few weeks have passed)
Wander: (rubbing his slight belly bump) :) Still can't believe this... (Almost passes bathroom when he heard a vomiting noise) :o... Hello?
[It was Sylvia in the bathroom, hurling up a storm. Hater needed to go bk to do his conquering for a while, so he left a handful of his crew behind to safeguard Wander while he stays in Planet Janet to care for the litter n his pregnancy, which included Sylvia. But Sylvia woke up this morning feeling out of sorts n no appetite, n the moment she smelled breakfast being made by Wildflower, she immediately made a mad dash to the bathroom to empty her guts out]
Sylvia: [still hurling, unable to answer, but the bathroom door is partially opened]
Wander: (pushes the door open a little)... Sylvia?
Sylvia: [groaned as she coughed out the last bit of bile] D-Dont come near... I feel terrible...
Wander: :( (comes over anyhow, rubbing her back) You didn't eat anything bad, did you...?
Sylvia: Ughh... No, I didn't evn eat at all... [coughed n slowly stood up, gargling her mouth to wash away the aftrtaste] Wat exactly is ur mom cooking? It smells awful, tht's wat's making me throw up
Wander: She's just making pancakes, that's all...Maybe it was something you ate while on Planet Vegas, or...(slowly widens eyes)...Did you...and Awesome...?
Sylvia: Can't be frm Planet Vegas, its been a few weeks... [grimaced at the last question] Umm... No?
Wander: (crosses arms) Syl... What did you two DO? (wanting a straight answer)
Sylvia: [wanted to make up a lie or avoid it bt Wander had one of "those" looks. Her hand unconsciously gripped the ring ard her neck, as if trying to draw strength frm it before she sighed n sat on the toilet seat, telling him evrything]
Wander: (listening closely) ...you both got drunk...hitched yourselves...then just did that?
Sylvia: Yeah, I knw... N all bcoz I wanted to cheer him up aftr meeting tht bitch of an ex of his... Grob, how could I be so stupid...? [buried her head in her hands]
Wander: (places a hand on her shoulder) Syl...Do you even want to keep the child? Or at least ask Awesome how he'd feel about this?
Sylvia: Keep the--? [looked up at him bewildered] I can't keep this!! I can't be a mom! I'm not ready!! I didnt evn WANT to get stupid hitched in the first plc! N now ur asking me to be an instant mom?! I can't do this!!
Wander: Sylvia. (grabs the sides of her face) Sylvia!
Sylvia: What?! [was a little breathless bt stopped ranting anyways]
Wander: Are you saying you just...want to abort it, an innocent child? A child who's done nothing wrong or had nothing to do what's happened?? (is appalled the zbornak was thinking such a thing)
Sylvia: Wake up n stop looking at me with those cherry-tinted goggles! Hv u evn seen me? My job with Hater, by nature, is hazardous! I'm his personal bodyguard, his muscle, the one to do all the rough n tough jobs tht that manchild of a hubby of urs can't handle! If I keep this, I can't do any of those things! N I'm a free spirit! I can't be lugging ard a baby with me! I told u already I dont plan to settle dwn anytime soon, n I certainly am not fit to be a mom!! How is THAT fair of me to keep a child wen I clearly dont hv the responsibility or the capacity to do it?!
Wander: ... :( You just don't want to end up like your mother, do you?... (gets up to leave) All I'm asking, Sylvia...is to think about what you're doing...don't do anything you'll regret... (leaves Sylvia with her thoughts)
Sylvia: I... [watches Wander leave, then just sat there in silence, thinking abt evrything tht has just transpired]
Wildflower: [was abt to call Wander n Sylvia for breakfast n she ovrheard everything] Is it true, Wandy? Sylvia's pregnant?
Wander:...Yes...But I think she's afraid of being a mother... :(
Wildflower: She prolly needs the right kind of support. Call me busybody, but I think I need to speak with someone. Pancakes in the oven if u want some [made her way towards where Awesome may be]
Wander: Thanks, Mama... (is concerned about Sylvia)...
Wildflower: [made her way towards the beach where the safeguard crew n Awesome r staying, which is in a mushroom-shaped big apartment-like structure that Janet had made for them while Hater n Peepers used the main ship for conquering. Waving hello at some of the minions enjoying their day at the beach, she went to the front door n knocked]
Awesome: (answers) Hey, miss...Wildflower?
Wildflower: Howdy~ U busy? Need to talk to u for a sec
Awesome: (looks puzzled but follows her to talk in private)
Wildflower: [enters the house n sat dwn in the lounge, making sure no one was there] Been meaning to ask u, how r things btwn u n Sylvia?
Awesome: (flushes) We...actually been...avoiding each other for a bit...
Wildflower: Oh? Why? Is it bcoz u guys sorta breached the colleague barrier btwn u?
Awesome: (blushes even more)...Sorta.
Wildflower: The kind of breach that led to that? [pointed at the ring ard his neck, which he had copied Sylvia to hide their relationship] I'm not that ditsy not to notice its not a souvenir ring
Awesome: O///O... >///< We, we just got super drunk, and...one thing led to another...
Wildflower: [smiled kindly] I see. Well, wat do u plan to do abt it? U can't avoid her forever
Awesome:... What if she doesn't want to keep the kid though? I don't even know if she's...
Wildflower: Well u don't hv to wonder. She is, n she's terrified. I think she's afraid she wouldn't be able to be a good mom, or worse, she'd be like her mom
Awesome: (eyes widen)...She's with... (gets up) I gotta get to her before she does something stupid!
Wildflower: Better hurry then [smiled kindly]
