Snippet #1484239

Sydney rolled her dark eyes at the sound of Asher and Cheyenne's spat. It didn't surprise at all; they were just too predictable. With Asher's temper and Cheyenne's right-back-at-you-attitude, it was a no brainer that one of them would end up either being screamed at or sometimes, even seriously injured. However, her stomach's constant growling tuned the angry couple out, and Kerrie's cooking was the only thing that was on her mind as of now. Whenever she saw Heaven, she immediately arose from the chair and gently hugged the girl right back. "Morning, dear," she said to her. "Well, a good morning to you, too, Jezebel! You girls look beautiful today, but as always, of course."

Sydney smiled lightly as her stomach was being admired. She put her own hands on the base of her stomach and chuckled. It was no doubt Heaven excited over this baby, but she was probably the only one besides Sydney. When she announced of her pregnancy, there wasn't much of a reaction, but then again, she didn't really want one. The only thing she got from the family was that another Balazar was being brought into the house, and that was all she needed. She had secretly felt envious of the woman who gave her husband a child. Sydney loved Heaven as if she were her own, but she actually wanted one of her own, and the timing was just perfect.

Sydney listened to Heaven dog her for working outside. "Heaven," Sydney said to her, "things have to be done around the house, and if I'm being spoiled, they won't get done." She paused, staring at the girl and saying in a deep, low voice, kind of like a whisper. "...and you know what happens if your father finds out that the housework hasn't been completed."

The very sound of Cheyenne's voice sent a little agitation to Sydney's nerves. Out of everyone in the house, she was her least favorite person. She'd never actually gotten along with the woman, despite being in a heart-filled family. However, Sydney thought she would humor Cheyenne. "Where you heading off to, Cheyenne?" Her eyes pierced through Cheyenne's eyes, awaiting a response.
