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.












******************************************************************
The next day. Her first full free day she got up early. She was even awake before Kaylie for once. She took the extra time to take a longer shower than usual. The hot water helped to relieve a little bit of the tension she'd been feeling lately. When she got out Kaylie was wide awake in her crib just waiting for Sydney to come and get her. After she got her dressed she fed her and ate her own breakfast. Then she heard Francie get up. She was putting her cereal bowl in the sink when Francie came into the kitchen.




"How long have you been up," Francie asked after seeing that both she and Kaylie were dressed and fed.




"A little over an hour," Syd told her as she adjusted Kaylie in her arms," but I'm glad you're up. I wanted to talk to you today".



"What about," Francie asked following Syd into the living room.



Sydney sat down with Kaylie cradled in her lap with an arm supporting her little head before she spoke again. "There's something I have to tell you".



"Are you finally going to explain about her father," Francie asked quietly gesturing to the baby.




There was a look of pain that crossed Syd's face, but she hid it away quickly. "I guess he's tied into it, but that's not really what it concerns," Syd told her," There's a lot that I haven't told you about my job. However as of yesterday it's over. Now I can finally explain it all to you".



"Syd you quit the bank," Francie squealed," Thank God it's about time. I can't believe you finally did it".



"For starters Francie, I didn't really work at the bank," Syd said unsure of how Francie was going to take this, She figured it was best to just come out with it. " I was undercover as a double agent for the CIA".



"What?," Francie scoffed, not believing her at first. Then she saw the serious look on Sydney's face. "You're not joking. Are you," she asked.



"No I'm not," Sydney said swallowing before continuing," The bank was just a cover for an organization called SD-6.....". She kept going without stopping knowing that if she did she might not be able to get it out. When she finished Francie stared at her taking it in still.



"So how does this all tie in to Kaylie's father," Francie finally asked. She had understood why Syd had lied to her about everything, but she still didn't get how Kaylie's father tied into it all.



"What," Sydney asked expecting her to ask something more about the secret parts.



"Well you said that this whole secret life you've been leading included him," Francie said," how so?".



Sydney hadn't really gone into detail about who gave her countermissions or where they met or anything about Vaughn. She hadn't even mentioned his name.



Sydney's eyes began to tear up. She knew that she had to tell Francie. She hadn't told anyone yet and finally letting someone know would be such a relief. But it still hurt like Hell.
