Chapter 10

Vaughn pulled the camry into the driveway and put on the parking brake.

"This is it." Vaughn was glad they would be staying here awhile. He didn't think he had the strength to leave Michelle just yet. They had just gotten to know each other. At least she would be safe here with his mother. Brigitte Vaughn was in for the shock of her life. All these years, she had been nagging him about settling down, finding a wife, and having children. Little did they know, Vaughn already had a child. A wife? He wasn't sure he would have that.

Vaughn got out of the car and helped Michelle get out. She held onto his hand and held onto her mother's hand as well. They walked up the brick path towards the door. Once they reach it, Vaughn hesitantly knocked. They waited for a moment in uncomfortable silence for someone to open the door. Finally Brigitte Vaughn opened it and gave the group a surprised look.

"Michel? What is all this about?"

Vaughn sighed. "Bonjour, Maman. How about we go inside first, okay?"

Brigitte nodded briefly and they all went into the living room. Brigitte sat in the arm chair across from the couch where Vaughn, Sydney, and Michelle were sitting.

"You have a wonderful house, Mrs. Vaughn."

"Please, call me Brigitte." Sydney nodded and gave Brigitte a warm smile. *I've only met this girl, but I like her already.* Brigitte thought.

"So, explain." Brigitte looked at Vaughn expectantly.

"Well, this is Sydney Bristow and our daughter, Michelle."

Brigitte's eyes became wide as she took in what he had said. "What? How? Okay, start from the beginning."

Vaughn took a deep breath and began. "Sydney used to work for the CIA. I was her handler. She was a double agent and I gave her her counter missions. We became friends over the years and fell in love. We couldn't tell anyone of course because it was against protocol and we would have been killed if SD-6 had found out. A couple years after I met Sydney, we were finally able to take down SD-6, but Sloane escaped. He's been after Sydney ever since. We went to Paris five years a go and stayed there for a night while we waited for word from Devlin. The next morning, Sydney left because she had received a call from someone saying that if Sydney didn't leave, I would be killed. Recently she contacted me because Sloane had found her. We've been running from Sloane's agents and Alice for the past few days."

"Wait ? Alice?"

"Alice was the person who called Sydney in Paris."

Brigitte's eyes registered shock and then amusement. "I knew it, Michel! She was no good. I never liked her and I hate her even more now." Vaughn nodded, but didn't say anything. Luckily, he didn't have to. Michelle did.

"So you're my grandmother?" Brigitte looked over at the little girl that had her son's blonde hair and green eyes and smiled.

"Yes."

Michelle nodded thoughtfully. "Mommy and Daddy says I'm going to be staying with you." Brigitte looked over at Sydney and Vaughn, confused.

"We want her to stay here where it's safe while we figure this all out. We don't want her to be in danger any longer."

Brigitte nodded. "Of course. You should have brought her here sooner. I will not have my granddaughter be in any kind of danger, not while I'm alive."

Brigitte came over to Michelle and picked her up. "Now come on, Michelle. We'll go into the kitchen and bake some cookies."

"Are you two staying long?" Brigitte asked over her shoulder. Vaughn and Sydney smiled at each other. It was obvious that Brigitte was falling in love with their little girl. Then again, it was hard not to.

"We're staying here for a couple of days until Sydney's father shows up," Vaughn told her.

"Alright, well I'll show you to the guest rooms once I'm doing making cookies with my granddaughter," Brigitte called from the kitchen.

Sydney stood up from where she was sitting and walked over to the windows. There was a view of the countryside from Brigitte's backyard and it was beautiful. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw that Vaughn had joined her.

"Do you think we'll ever have a normal family, Michael?"

Vaughn looked over at Sydney and smiled. "Syd, truthfully, I don't think our family will ever be completely normal, but I promise you I will make it as normal as possible for you and Michelle." Sydney nodded, content with his answer.

"Sydney, after we capture Alice, it will still be many years before Sloane's new organization is taken down."

"I don't want to keep doing this, Michael."

Vaughn nodded. "We'll just have to leave the country then. Start a new life."

Sydney smiled. "That would be nice."

Vaughn reached over and draped his arm over her shoulder. Sydney leaned into him as they watched the sun go down.

*Okay, more evil Alice, action, and other stuff in the next chapter! Bye!
