A/N: Sorry for the lack of pictures for one part of this chapter. I thought I’d turned off the cut-scenes until it was too late; and my screenshots never end up the way I plan!

Despite having lived with a pregnant woman for the last few months, Jeremiah hadn’t actually twigged Sy’s condition until the bump started to show.

“You’re what? You mean, you feeling sick all the time wasn’t anything to do with my cooking?”
“Nope. Sweetie, we’re having a baby!” Being very family-orientated, Sy was looking forward to becoming a mother. Jeremiah, while happy on the surface, was concerned that everything was moving just that little bit too quickly.


“We can’t have a baby yet.. we’re not married! We’re not even engaged!”
“Is that a problem?” Sy asked.
“Well, yes. I never planned on becoming a dad outside of marriage. And now…” his voice trailed off; he’d just worked out what he needed to do.

The very next afternoon, Jeremiah was late home. Sy, tired out from the pregnancy coupled with doing her best to keep on top of the housework, had been wondering where he’d got to.

“Sy, I’ve got something I want to ask you.” Jeremiah said, getting down on one knee and holding a small box out to her. “Will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?”
Sy was overjoyed.
“Of course!” she cried, following the exclamation with a smacking kiss.


Now not only did they have to prepare for a baby, they had a wedding to plan!

As ever when people have more than one thing happening at once, it’s inevitable that time moves too quickly. Jeremiah started panicking when he realised that Sy was due to give birth within a month and they still weren’t married. He had the rings, but time and place hadn’t been arranged yet.

“I’ve got it!” Sy said when Jeremiah confessed this dilemma to her. “Let’s just get married at home; it’s not like we’ve got relatives nearby. It’s what people on my planet do all the time.”

So they did.


Two weeks later, Jeremiah was woken up by Sy screaming. The baby was on the way!
