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.















**************************************************************

She was determined to take down SD-6 more than ever now. She wanted to be able to be there for her daughter and she didn't want anything to happen to her baby because of the people she was involved with. She wanted it over. They were closer now than ever before, but she'd been gone from work for five months so she wasn't aware of how close.




Her father had mentioned at one point that agent Vaughn was no longer aware of the goings on of the case with SD-6 either. He had no clue how close they were to taking the place down. Sydney wondered if he did if he still would have married Alice. He'd wanted to prove that he'd moved on. He'd wanted to try and force himself to be ok with everything, but it hadn't been that easy.




All Sydney knew was that he wasn't here with her now like he should have been.




Now she held her baby and looked into her eyes while her father, Francie and Will all anxiously awaited their turns. Sydney had decided to name her Makayla Jordan Bristow. Although she wouldn't admit it to anyone else she'd named her after Vaughn. She didn't even like to admit it to herself, but she wanted her daughter to have a piece of her father and despite everything Sydney still loved him. She had Sydney's brown hair, but Vaughn's beautiful green eyes. She was the perfect mix between the two.




Everyone got their turn holding her and making a fuss. Then they let Sydney and Makayla be alone. Which was nice because the both of them were exhausted. Two days later Sydney and Makayla came home. Francie and Will had redone Sydney's room to accomodate all of Makayla's things also and it was beautiful. Sydney only had a month off before she had to return to work, but then Will was going to watch the baby because he wasn't exactly employed at the moment anyhow.




He'd been staying with Sydney and Francie since his money had finally run out. So he might as well watch the baby while he was there. Besides he loved her already. Francie and Will had been named Makayla's godmother and godfather respectively. There wasn't a church ceremony or anything, but she had asked them and they had said yes. So in the event that anything happened to her they would be there to care for her daughter.




Her father was already enjoying his role as Grandpa. He was going to try and be a better grandfather than he had been a father.




They enjoyed the first week getting to know each other. They'd actually had a lot of time to themselves. Francie had been tied up at the restaurant and Will had been out with his new girlfriend Sarah a lot. They were both happy and Sydney herself was happy too. To a degree, but she was trying to put the part of her that was unhappy away in a little box in which she wished to throw away the key if she could ever get the stupid thing to shut in the first place.




The next week they spent more time with Will and Francie and her Dad. She also took Makayla to the park. She wasn't yet willing to take her anywhere in the city where she thought that she might run into Vaughn. Not that it was a likely possibility (he lived on the other side of it), but she wanted to be sure. Granted there was always a chance it could happen, but she was being pretty careful.




At the end of the third week Francie convinced Sydney to go out with her for a girl's night out while Jack watched Kaylie as they'd come to call her for short. Will was out with Sarah things were going well for them. Sydney had been reluctant at first to leave Kaylie, but with her Dad to watch over her she warmed to the idea. They ended up having a lot of fun. They weren't out to meet guys. They were just out to have a good time. When the night came to an end Sydney realized that she really enjoyed herself, but she was glad to be getting back to Kaylie.




When they arrived home Jack was asleep on the couch with Kaylie asleep on his chest. Seeing the two of them like that made Sydney smile. So she waited a few minutes before gently picking up the baby and laying her down in her crib and then waking her father. She thanked him for watching her and he said it'd been his pleasure and then he was on his way, but not before they exchanged a hug. They were working on the relationship thing and it was continuing to get better.




Of course the month came to an end all too quickly and it was back to work. Luckily she'd made sure to begin working out again as soon as it was ok and she was back to looking the way she did before she had Kaylie. She'd had six months off and although she'd spent a good part of that time thinking about Vaughn she'd also done her best to try and really take in the world while she was leading a semi normal life. The closest she'd get to a normal life until SD-6 was taken down. Once again she reminded herself though that it was coming down soon and she'd be there to help.
