"What did you say?" Sydney didn't want to believe what Devlin had just said was
true, but in the pit of her stomach, she knew it was. She knew that her father was
gone, this time for good. "How...what happened...why was he even there??" Sydney began to stutter and her anger began to surface. She couldn't even cry for her father, all of her tears were gone.
"We didn't know, I mean Jack didn't tell us that, well, Sydney, Jack told me he was going to be there when the takedown happened, and you know that there is no arguing with your father. He wanted to make sure that you would be safe after the takedown, he wanted to be sure Sloane didn't get away. Your father was going to kill Sloane, but Sloane knew, so he, um, anyway, Dixon is the one who killed Sloane," Devlin stopped, not knowing what else to say.
"He believed me, he knew I wouldn't betray him..." Sydney murmured, thinking about Dixon.
"Look, Sydney, I'm going to officially take you off-duty as of this morning. However, with your mother possibly looking for you, I suggest you that you relocate and..."
"Are you insane? I am just supposed to leave now that I can have a halfway normal life? No way. If Irina let Will go, I don't think she'll come looking for me," Sydney was in no mood to begin running and hiding again.
Vaughn opened his mouth to protest, but Sydney looked up at him and silenced any protests he may have had. He had no chance to convince her to leave for her own safety.
"And you Agent Vaughn, I am placing on paid leave until you can give me a full summary and final report on SD-6," Devlin smirked at the two on the couch, remembering his younger days. "And if you two don't go off somewhere, get married, and have a long honeymoon during this leave, I will fire you when you get back. Is that understood Agent Vaughn?" Devlin was only halfway kidding - if these two didn't get together, he was going to have a lot more problems than he ever did before.
Sydney and Vaughn looked at each other and smiled, it was going to work out this time.

Two weeks later...
"So, Sydney, why did you feel the need to make me wear the most horrible dress that I have ever seen?" Francie was laughing at the very pale pink dress she had on. "This reminds me of the 80's! I feel like Cindi Lauper!" Francie picked up a hair brush and began to sing, " Oh, girls just wanna have fun!" Francie was laughing hysterically now and Sydney was near tears. A few minutes later when both of them had collapsed onto the couch, Francie said, " You know you are the most beautiful bride that I have ever seen."
"Stop it! You're going to make me nervous!" Sydney knew she looked stunning in the silk gown, it was why she had chosen it. "I just feel like all this is happening so fast! I mean we only had two weeks!"
"Don't remind me. I am the one who help you plan this you know!"
"And you know I will be forever grateful to you. But after Michael proposed, we just wanted to do it, you know? I mean, why wait months? You know, we thought about eloping, but..."
"You realized I would have killed you?" Francie said in mock anger.
"We wanted it to special. I think this is special, don't you?"
"Very special Syd, very special," Francie said as she hugged Sydney.

"Congratulations," Will said sincerely as he held out his hand to Michael.
"Thanks. I really appreciate that." Sydney had practically had to order Michael to not attack Will the first time he saw him after Will had nearly attacked her. Since then, Michael's anger had worn away, as had Will's un- platonic feelings for Sydney. He knew she was happy with Michael and her happiness was more important than anything else.
"You don't want to be late to your own wedding Mike! Let's get a move on!" Weiss called from the front door of Michael's apartment.
Michael took one last look at himself in the hall mirror and the three guys raced down the stairs and into Weiss' car. "I hope its not too windy at the beach..." Weiss said as he pulled away from the curb.

Michael was standing by the ocean, talking to some of the guests as her limo arrived. It was a small ceremony on the beach, and there were no more than thirty people there total. He watched her as she got out of the limo, her dress flowing behind her in the light breeze, watched as Dixon walked her down the isle, kissed her on the cheek and said, 'I know I'm not your father, but I'm honored I could do this for you.', heard himself say 'I do', felt himself smile as he slipped his ring on her hand, his ring, and then they kissed. It was perfect.

The limo ride to the airport was like a dream. They looked and stared at each other like neither could believe that it was finally real. As they made their way to their first class seats, Sydney still in her wedding gown, and Michael still in his tuxedo, people stared and grinned, they could see they this couple was meant to be. The flight was too long, and when they finally landed in Figi, it was a mad rush to the hotel. They were suddenly very glad that they had decided to have their luggage shipped to the hotel in advance; no wasted time at baggage claim. They had decided to wait to be together until their wedding night; they had decided it would be more special. At the door of the Honeymoon Suite, he picked her up gently and carried her in the room. He laid her down on the king size bed.....
