Prologue-
Liam was finally sleeping. Sydney sighed, watching his little body move up and down, rhythmically. Up and down. Just like his mother's life.
Five years ago, it seemed everything was finally going to come together. The Alliance had been losing power. The CIA was countering Sydney's missions more effectively than before. Everything just seemed better, more focused. Of course, the things Sydney did in order for those things to happen she was not entirely proud of.
She had crossed over.
Gone over to Sark's side when he had mentioned the comprehensive offer. Now, she realized that it had been the plan all along; her mother's plan. Bring Sydney over to my side and let the others deal with it. The comprehensive offer hadn't been much different than what Sydney was living now, except Sark wanted her to move to Italy with him.
Italy. The Vatican. Sydney couldn't believe that she had broken into the Vatican. With Vaughn, of all people. They should have gone out to dinner that day; it would have been their only chance. Ever. Especially after what she had done to him.
Sydney didn't want to move to Italy, but she did. After graduating, she had nothing to do. And in Italy she could start over; forget the past. Teach. It beckoned to her, the idea of leaving SD-6. She knew the CIA and SD-6 would track her eventually. By then she could have a whole new life.
Eventually she had married Sark. Looking back, she wondered what had caused her to fall in love with him. She had fallen in love before, twice. Both had ended tragically. Obviously she had thought the third time was the charm. The only good outcome of their affair had been Liam. Liam's name had been an issue. It was a tribute to Sydney's previous loves; Sark had thought it sounded exotic. Both had loved their child. Sydney still loved him. Sark didn't have enough time to get to know him. His own son, ripped away from him when death was two steps away. The agony of it.
Sydney wondered what could have happened had she not met with Sark that night. Could everything be different? Could she be with Vaughn or even Danny, Liam be their child? No. She had stopped believing in fate long ago. Her choices; life or death, right or wrong; affected everything in her life. Everything and everyone.
