Ah. So his name is Anthony. Like his father, like the Roman general.
Like the name carved into the meat of her fucking collarbone.

or, the one where Sydney makes peace with the fact that Carmy isn’t her soulmate, after never having wanted to know him at all.

Summary
Sydney thinks that if she found out she was pregnant a little earlier she probably wouldn’t have gone through with it. Like, if she found out before her landlord changed the locks on her apartment, or before the bank sent her all those red letters, or before the pasta dried up, she’d probably have just taken herself to Planned Parenthood, popped the pills and charged it to the game. But as it is, the two blue lines appear on the stick during the worst months of her life, the first months of the pandemic when she’s unemployed and shit scared that her dad is going to get coronavirus and die. And when she sees them, she just thinks: well, this might as well happen. She was a disappointment before. What’s one more thing?
Before she meets Carmy, Sydney has a baby.

Summary
“I hate to intrude,” Alfred said, somehow utterly coherent despite being in his dressing gown and slippers, as he stuck his head into the kitchen. “But I would advise checking your voicemail.”
“Who was it? Lucius?” Bruce muttered into his mug.
“No,” Alfred said, and for the first time in months, a note of something like pressing urgency crept into his crisp accent. “A certain Miss Belgrave.”
“Who?” Bruce looked up, scowling. “Is she one of Dick’s teachers?”
Alfred arched a single eyebrow.
…“Hi Bruce… if this is actually your number…” A woman’s scratchy, uncertain voice filled the silent kitchen. There was a quaver of nervous, watery laughter, as if she were on the verge of tears. “I just thought I should… um, let you know… I waited until I could see my obgyn, so you wouldn’t think this was some- well, you probably do, but- I’m pregnant. And I know you would probably want a paternity test, or whatever, so that’s happening… Oh, shit, I just thought I should let you know I’m keeping it. Um. That’s decided.” Her voice shook so badly for a second he thought the voicemail had dissolved into static. “Bye!” She hung up.
Bruce stared at the phone for so long his tea grew cold.
