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.














***********************************************************************
Later that same day Francie had needed to go to the restaurant to check in a new shipment of food so Sydney had decided to take Kaylie shopping. She knew shopping wouldn't fill the void of Vaughn, but she didn't want to sit in the house all day on her first full free day. So they packed up and headed for the mall. When they got there Sydney headed for the baby store first. She wanted to get Kaylie some new clothes because she was quickly growing out of the ones she already had and Sydney didn't have a ton of bigger sizes yet. The woman in the store was really friendly and when Sydney got to the counter to pay she looked at Kaylie in her stroller and commented on her green eyes.




"She has her father's eyes," Sydney explained with a forced smile, but her eyes showed her sadness. The woman finished ringing up the clothes seeing that it wasn't a subject she should question. Then Sydney left the store and headed home deciding maybe a trip to the mall hadn't been exactly what she'd needed. She knew what she needed or more precisely who, but it was too late. That would never happen now.




What she hadn't noticed when she was in the store was Eric Weiss who had been looking for something to buy for his cousin's baby shower. He hadn't noticed Sydney at first either, but then she had gotten to the counter and the woman waiting on her was talking loudly enough to get Weiss' attention. Then he noticed Sydney and the fact that she had a baby with her. So obviously he hadn't been able to help himself and had continued listening to the conversation between the two women. That's when he heard Sydney say "She has her father's eyes".




He couldn't believe it. Could it really be true. Well that would explain why she'd been gone for the last six months and then suddenly reappeared in time for the SD-6 takedown. She must have been on maternity leave. He couldn't be positive because he hadn't gotten close enough to see the baby, but he knew he had to get Vaughn to go see her now. If there was even a possibility that this was true then he might have a daughter that he didn't know about. So he left the mall and headed to Langley to find Vaughn who would probably be there debriefing SD-6 agents.


It took a full hour leaving the mall, driving to Langley and then actually getting inside before he found Vaughn coming out of a room where several lower level SD-6 agents were being debriefed.



"Hey what's up," Vaughn asked upon seeing the expression on Weiss' face.



"I think you should go see Sydney," Weiss blurted out.



"Why, did something happen," Vaughn asked worried.



"Not that I know of, but I just think you need to go talk with her," Weiss told him.



"Look I told you that she doesn't want anything to do with me. I tried to talk to her yesterday after the takedown, but she hates to even look at me," Vaughn told him," and I can't blame her".



"Right I wouldn't talk to you either if I were her, but I think it's really important that you go see her," Weiss said insistently.



"Eric I only did what I did to protect Sydney," Vaughn said after Eric's last sentence.



"Ok, great you were protecting her," Weiss said getting frustrated," now you don't have to. So I'm just telling you that you need to go and see her. Now". He knew he was being bossy, but this was insanely important. Vaughn had to go and talk with her right away.



"Alright," Vaughn gave in," I'll try, but don't push me again if she won't talk to me this time ok".



Weiss nodded, but his fingers were crossed behind his back. If Vaughn didn't get to talk to Sydney this time then he'd just have to try again and again until she would talk to him.



"Great. I'll cover for you with Devlin," Weiss told him and with that said he patted Vaughn on the back and sent him on his way.
