Title: A lie followed by a secret

Disclaimer: obviously I don't own them. You know that, I know that, ok we all know that.

Rating: PG-13 (I don't think it's that high yet, but later I might use some not so nice words and I just wanted to be on the safe side.)

Review: Any words of wisdom you could bestow upon me to help me improve or if you just like the story would be greatly appreciated. Also reviews help me to post the next chapter. So if you guys like it and want more then I will need reviews to know this. If you give me these then I promise to post another chapter. Ok done now.

Summary: Sydney and Vaughn are having problems. Hopefully they can find a way to work them out.

A/N: Ok this is my first Alias fic. I think there is a possibility that I could have written it better but between work and college life is stressful enough as it is without worrying about every single little detail. However if you guys like it enough I may pay more attention to it and make sure it's up to the best of my abilities. So just let me know what you think. I should be able to post a new chapter daily for at least the first nine chapters. So if you're done reading this now on with the story. Thanks again for reading."I wanted to tell you something," he said suddenly wondering if this had been a good idea.

"I know that you probably hate me. I know that I can't make you understand. But I think that you need to move on. I know that you took the last month off from work and I just wanted you to know if it's because of me you should try to let it go and move on," then he hesitated before he continued," because I'm trying to move on. Alice and I are getting married".




She managed to wipe the look of pain and betrayal off of her face before he got the nerve to look at her. When he looked up at her she had a cold blank stare on her face and all she said was,"oh".




"Sydney,"he said wishing that things weren't the way they were between the two of them," I'm sorry".




"Don't be," she said," well if that's it I have to go". She knew if she stayed for too long that she would probably break and tell him. She couldn't let him know.




He was with Alice now and apparently happy with her. He didn't want to be with Sydney anymore he'd just used her. He didn't love her like she loved him. So for that reason she chose to let him be happy. She wouldn't tell him her secret. It would only hurt her more when he knew and still refused to share his life with her. She couldn't bear the thought and she didn't want him to only stick by her because of the secret. So as quickly as she could she got out of there.




He had told her what he'd wanted to and he should be happy with the way things went. He had done his part and tried to get her to move on to. He could feel that he hadn't turned his back on her. She was letting him off. Saying that she'd be ok without him. She didn't need him. Of course that wasn't the way she felt, but she refused to let herself be vulnerable to him again. She couldn't because she knew the results would be detrimental.




Four months later she was cursing his name silently in her head, and also begging for him to somehow knowingly be there. She knew he wouldn't be though. Francie and Will were outside in the waiting room. Her father was the only one in the room with her besides the doctors and nurses. Her father had suspected that Vaughn was the father although they'd never actually spoken about it. When she'd requested a new handler he'd suspected something had been going on between the two of them and then when she told him months later that she was pregnant he was fairly certain that Vaughn was the daddy.




He knew Sydney wasn't one to move from one guy to the next and it was too soon for her to have met someone else in time to have become four months pregnant. So now he was the one here by her side instead of Vaughn. He'd never asked what'd happened and she hadn't volunteered the information and that's the way they left it. If she didn't want to talk about it he wouldn't pry. She knew this and was grateful for it. They were closer now than before, but they'd probably never quite have that daddy's little girl thing going on. But he was here for her now when she needed him most and she was so thankful.




Hours later she heard the cry of her baby girl and she cried with her. Some were tears of joy and some tears of sorrow. Right now she was trying to concentrate on the tears of joy.
