Authors Notes: Ok first of all the title sucks, I'm sorry I will probably change it when I can thing of something better. The summary sucks as well, I HATE doing summary's, I don't know what to put without giving the story away. Anyway I started writing this the other day in VET Hospitality when I had nothing better to do and I'm completely out of ideas for 'Secrets and Lies'. Please review and tell me what you think. Love it? Hate it? I don't care. All Feedback appreciated.

Chapter 1:

The sun shone rays of light into the semi dark room. At that exact moment the clock sitting beside the bed let out a high pitched buzzing sound, telling the room's occupants that it was time to get up and face the day. Sydney Vaughn rolled over groaning in her sleep as she angrily slapped the 'snooze' button on the clock Thankful that the noise had stopped she rolled back over and once again wrapped her arms around her husband's waist. Several minutes later the alarm sounded again. Giving up on the idea of a few more minutes of sleep, she sat up, turned off the alarm and gently shook her sleeping husband.

"Michael, honey, time to get up."

"Mmm" he mumbled.

"Sweetie, we have to get up."

"Mmm" he mumbled again rolling over to face Sydney. He opened his eyes, blinking a couple of times as they adjusted to the light. He leaned over and placed a light kiss on Sydney's lips. "Morning babe" he said after pulling away.

"Morning" she replied as she snuggled into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. They sat there for a few minutes until Sydney suddenly stuck her hand over her mouth "I think I'm gonna be sick" she said before quickly getting up and running quickly to the small bathroom, which adjoined their bedroom. Michael sat there quietly as he heard her throwing up. He heard the toilet flush and the tap running. Sydney emerged a couple of minutes later.

"Are you feeling ok, sweetheart?" he asked in a concerned tone.

"I'm feeling a bit sick in the stomach, I think I'll take the day off from work."

"You do that sweetie" he said as he rose from the bed. He motioned for her to lie down and as she did he began to tuck her in. He placed another kiss on her forehead before leaving to have a shower.

Michael emerged from the bathroom half an hour later, fully dressed for work. Sydney smiled as her husband re entered the room. He looked over at the bed and saw Syd smiling at him and he flashed her the smile that made her heart melt. He left the room again, this time heading down the hall to the small kitchen. The sound of cupboards banging could be heard as Michael made himself breakfast. She also heard his voice briefly before his footsteps came back up the hall to the bedroom. He came in carrying two steaming mugs. He handed one to Sydney, who'd managed to sit up as he entered. He sat down on the bed next to her before speaking "I called the school and told them you wouldn't be in today."

"Thanks babe."

"You feeling any better."

"I'm just a bit queasy and nauseas."

"You'll get better, just try and get some rest ok?"

"Yes Dr Vaughn" she said jokingly.

"Hmm Dr Vaughn, I like how that sounds." He replied, placing a kiss on her head, before he got up and left. He returned moments later carrying the phone in his hand. He put it down next to the bed and leaned over to kiss his wife. He pulled away after a brief moment "I've gotta go to work, get some rest and I'll call you later. Love you."

"I Love you too" she replied, as he left the room quickly disappearing out the door. She heard the door slam and as it did she suddenly felt the urge to be sick and bolted to the bathroom.
