Hey!
I finally got around to posting the Hawaii sequel so here it goes :) ...
Summary: After the wedding in Hawaii last year, Sydney and Vaughn spend their one year anniversary remincising about the past year of married life.
Totally AU!
Chapter 1
Sydney slowly crept up the stairs, a tray of freshly cooked food in her hands. She pushed open the bedroom door with her foot, and walked over to the bed placing the tray down beside his sleeping body. She sat on the other side of him, smiling at how peaceful he looked as he slept. Leaning forward slightly, she gently stroked his nose with her index finger, laughing as he twitched his nose, his lips slowly curving into a smile as he realized who it was. She placed a light kiss on his lips as he opened his eyes.
"Happy anniversary!" She whispered as they broke apart, her smile remaining on her face. He mirrored her smile, as he reached his hand up to her face, bringing her lips towards his for another kiss.
"Happy anniversary baby." His smile grew as he noticed what she was wearing. It had become like a morning tradition for Sydney to get up and put on a pair of Vaughn's boxers and one of his shirts which was left lying on the back of the chair. Sydney found that his clothes smelt a lot like him, and by wearing them she felt like she was still in his arms. Vaughn had to admit that even though they were his clothes, she looked pretty good in them.
"I made you breakfast." She glanced towards the tray. "But you don't get your gift until later!"
"Oh, I don't?" Vaughn asked, his eyebrows raised with curiosity. Sydney quickly nodded, her smile brightening. "Ok, so you can have yours later too!" Sydney nodded and picked up his hand, bringing it to her lips.
"So what do you want to do today?" She asked, kissing is hand softly. She linked their fingers together, their hands now resting on Vaughn's chest.
"Well, I was thinking that maybe we could spend the whole day doing things that we like!" He suggested, as he picked up a piece of toast and held it infront of her, so that she could take a bite, before taking a bite himself. "Oh, I actually have an idea of where we can go first!"
"You do?" Vaughn nodded. "Ok, I'll go and get ready!" She gave him a quick kiss before jumping up and going into the bathroom.
Vaughn sat up in the bed, and started eating the breakfast that she had made for him. Everything in his life was going the way he had planned; him and Sydney were happily married, he had left the CIA and was now teaching like he had started to do when Sydney had 'died.' I can't believe that it's been a whole year since our wedding…
Flashback
Michael took hold of her hand as he began to say his vows. "Sydney, from the moment I first met you, I knew that there was something special about you. Something that amazed me, intrigued me, and made me fall in love with you. When my father's watched stopped, I thought 'this is it! I've found the woman that I'm meant to spend my whole life with!' But the truth is I knew way before then that I was head over heels in love with you, it just took me a while to tell you that!" Sydney looked into his eyes, the love he had for her visible in them. "Now that you know how I feel about you, I want to spend the rest of my life making your dreams come true, waking up next to you every morning, and just loving you."
"I haven't actually written any vows, you know I only found out I was getting married a couple of hours ago!" They smiled at each other and Michael couldn't help but admire the small dimples that accompanied her smile. "I love you Michael and with each passing day I seem to fall more and more in love with you." Sydney looked over Vaughn's shoulder, and saw Irina standing a couple of metres away from them. She waved at Sydney and then turned, walking slowly down the beach. Sydney smiled, knowing that that wouldn't be the last time that she would see her mother.
She continued with her vows. "I've seen the lengths that you're willing to go to just to make me happy, and I ask myself what I could have possibly done to deserve having you in my life, loving me the way you do. I love you." Michael smiled at her and leaned forward, placing a chaste kiss on her lips.
"Michael, if you would like to repeat after me. I Michael Vaughn, take you Sydney Bristow, to be my wedded wife. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part." Michael gently rubbed his thumb over her knuckles as he recited after the priest.
"Now Sydney, repeat after me. I Michael Vaughn, take you Sydney Bristow, to be my wedded wife. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part."
After Sydney had finished talking, the priest closed over his book, holding it securely infront of him. Amelie took a tissue out of her bag and wiped her eyes. Jack saw that she was crying and placed his hand over hers, squeezing it gently.
"By the power invested in me by the Church of Mammals," Michael's eyes widened as he quickly turned his head to look at the priest. Please tell me he did not just say that… The priest smiled at him, trying to hold back his laughter. Marshall has a cruel sense of humour. He looked back at Sydney who was laughing at Marshall's little prank and started to laugh along with her.
"By the power invested in me by the State of California," the priest smiled at them both. "I know pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride."
End Flashback
"So where is it we're going exactly?" Sydney asked as they got into his car. Michael had told her that he would drive, as she didn't have a clue where he was taking her.
"Be patient, you'll find out when we get there!"
Sydney rolled her eyes and sat back into the seat. "Fine!" She turned up the radio and smiled when Sheryl Crow came on. "Everyday is a winding road!" She sung along with the radio, her head moving in time with the music. Vaughn glanced at her and shook his head. Oh no, not again.
Flashback
Vaughn rested his hand on the steering wheel, his other hand holding up his head. They had been stuck in all the traffic coming out of the airport for the past half an hour. He was shattered after the flight back from Hawaii, but Sydney was suddenly full of energy, her eyes wide open. Joni Mitchell was playing on the radio, Vaughn finding that the soothing music was helping him to relax.
As the song finished, Sydney smiled, hoping that they could now listen to something better. But just as she thought it was over, another song started playing.
"You have got to be kidding me!" She threw her head back and shut her eyes, wanting to drown out the music.
Vaughn laughed and looked at her. "What?"
"This music! Who knows how long we're gonna be stuck in this traffic jam, we're not even moving, so please can we listen to something else? I couldn't possibly put up with this for the whole ride home!" She looked at him with puppy eyes hoping that he would say yes.
"But it's Joni!" Michael protested.
"I know! That's the problem." Sydney murmured under her breath. "But look," she pressed one of the buttons on the radio. "It's Sheryl!" She smiled proudly at him, and started singing along with the song.
"We are not listening to Sheryl Crow in my car." Vaughn stated, turning the radio back to Joni Mitchell.
"Sheryl could kick Joni's ass." Sydney pointed out, turning the radio back over. "Which is exactly what I could do to you!" She stuck her tongue out at him, making it seem like she was only joking. But they both knew that she was capable of it; even though she would never actually do it.
"Oh yeah like Sheryl could kick her ass! What's she gonna do, beat her with her guitar?" He asked sarcastically. Sydney stared back at him, not amused by his joke.
"Vaughn…"
He sighed. "Fine, just this once I'll let you listen to her!"
"Good!" Sydney smiled at her victory, and continued to sing. "Oh, I just had the best idea!"
"What?"
"I'll get us tickets. We can go to her next concert." She jumped up and down in her seat, excited by her idea. Vaughn laughed and shook his head.
"Sydney, I draw the line at letting you listen to her in my car. There is no way that I am going to a Sheryl Crow concert."
"Fine! I'll just take Weiss instead."
End Flashback
"What are you laughing at?" Sydney asked, as Vaughn pulled over the car at their destination.
"You remember our first fight?" He asked, his laughter starting to die down.
"Yeah!" Sydney smiled. "The one about Joni and Sheryl. Yeah that was a fun first fight." She laughed along with him.
"Yeah." He agreed with her. "Oh, I forgot to tell you something this morning." Sydney turned to face him in her seat.
"What?"
"I love you." Her smile grew as he leaned in and kissed her.
"I love you too."
He looked out of the window and smiled. "We're here."
