Chapter 4

You see Michael and Sydney sit down on the couch he stares at her worriedly"what's wrong
Syd you're scaring me, "he says.

Sydney takes his hands in hers"I love you, you know that," she says.

"Yes, I love you too," Michael says.

"I need you not to get mad about this," Sydney says. He looks at her strangely"about two
weeks ago I got a phone call from somebody saying they were coming to get my babies I have
no idea who it was."

He looked at her in shock"why didn't you tell me?"Michael asks.

"I thought the person would just go away but then this package came," Sydney says.

"Do you know what the symbol means?"Michael asks.

Sydney shakes her head"never seen it before I'm taking it to my mom tomorrow maybe she
knows what it means," she says.

He leant over and stroked her cheek she leant into his hand"why didn't you tell me?"he
asks. His worry lines are showing on his forehead.

She looks up at him"I was scared I still am I didn't want to worry you," she says.

Michael looks at her in shock"I'm your husband the father of your children it's my job and
Syd I love you I don't want anything to happen to you," he says.

Sydney has tears in her eyes she leans over and hugs him he hugs her back"don't ever think
you can't tell me anything Syd we need to get through things together you're not alone
anymore," he continues.

"I know," Sydney says.

He kisses her on the forehead"it'll be okay I promise," he says.

Syd smiles at him and he smiles back"come on let's go to bed," she says.

He nods and he stands up and he takes her hand and he leads her into the room and he shuts
the door.

You see them the next morning she's curled up beside him he had his arm around her he's
awake and smiling down at her. He just wants to take her away forget about everything but
he knows that's not possible.

Her eyelids flutter and she slowly comes awake since its Saturday they don't need to get
up. She looks into his green eyes and smiles at him."Morning," she says.

"Morning," he says. He lifts up the covers and leans near her stomach"morning you two."

Sydney smiles down at him and strokes his hair"you're going to make the greatest daddy
ever," she says.

"Let's hope so," he says looking up at her with a grin on his face.

"I know you will be," Sydney says.

"Then you'll be the greatest mummy ever," Michael says.

She smiles at him and he smiles back he leans back up and kisses her how did I get so
lucky Sydney thinks. She deepens the kiss and he lays over her(yet again use your
imagination hey even tv characters need their privacy).

***

You see Jack and Irina in the hospital room he's sitting up working on his laptop when
Sydney and Michael walk in."Morning," Sydney says. She walks over to her father and kisses
him on the cheek she smiles at Irina.

"Morning," Michael says.

"What are you working on?"Sydney asks.

She looks at his computer but he turns it away and shuts it she pouts"no it's a surprise
for the both of you and the babies you can't see it," Jack says.

"Okay I'll wait," Sydney says. She smiles at him and then looks at her mother"mom can I
please speak to you outside for a minute?"

"Of course," Irina says. She stands up"I'll be right back."

Both men nod and Irina follows her daughter out of the room and into the hallway they sit
down in the chairs. You see Sydney take out the locket and show it to her mother."I got
this in the post yesterday," Sydney says."I was wondering what the engraving meant."

Irina looks down at the locket and she gets a worried look on her face but then is able to
cover it up before Sydney notices it's there."I've never seen it before sorry Sydney," she
says.

"It's all right maybe I'll ask Marshall," Sydney says.

Irina nods and then you see Sydney stand up and go back into the room but before she
does"thanks mom," she says.

"It's okay just tell your dad that I have something to do and I'll be back," Irina says.

"All right see you later," Sydney says she watches her mother leaves and then walks back
into the room.

Jack smiles at her and then doesn't see Irina come back in"where is your mother?"he asks.

"She said she had something to do and she'll be back later," Sydney says.

"All right," Jack says. Sydney goes over and sits in the chair that her mother vacated she
watches her father.

"Is she all right?"Sydney asks.

"Yes why?"Jack asks.

"She just seemed a bit off when I was talking to her," Sydney says.

Jack nods and then reaches over and takes her hand in his and he squeezes"I'm sure she's
all right maybe worried about me," Jack says.

Sydney smiles at him and squeezes back"I hope so," Sydney says.

He nods she stands up and kisses him on the cheek"I have to go get something checked out
by Marshall I'll see you later," Sydney says."Have they told you when you're getting out?"

"No not yet," Jack says."Bye sweetheart bye Mike."

"Bye daddy," Sydney says.

"Bye Jack," Michael says.

Sydney leans down and kisses him on the cheek again and then she takes Michael's hand and
they leave the room."Did she tell you anything?"Michael asks.

"No, she said she didn't know what it was," Sydney says."That's why I'm taking it to
Marshall now."

"All right come on let's go," Michael says.

She nods and leans over and kisses him.

You see the Ops Centre and they walk in Eric comes over and greets them"morning guys
didn't think I'd see you two here this morning," he says.

"Yes we didn't think so either but I have something that I want Marshall to analyse,"
Sydney says.

Eric nods and smiles at her Sydney smiles back"well I think my counterpart is with him at
the moment so you can see her at the same time," he says.

"Thanks Eric see you in a little while," Sydney says.

He nods and she kisses Michael and then walks over to where she sees Bridget and Marshall
in conversation. Bridget smiles when she sees her and so does Marshall."Morning Syd,"
Bridget says.

"Morning Bridget morning Marshall," Sydney says.

"Morning Sydney," Marshall says.

"Ah Marshall I have something I'd like you analyse its not really the object but what's on
it," Sydney says.

"All right where's the object," Marshall says.

Sydney brings out the object and hands it to him"I'll get it back to you as soon as I
can," he says.

She nods her thanks and then leaves along with Bridget"so what are you doing this
afternoon?"Bridget asks.

Sydney looks at her and smiles"spending time at the mall with my sister-in-law and my two
nieces would you like to join us?"Sydney asks.

"Sure I'm always up for shopping when?"Bridget asks.

"Two hours we're meeting at the entrance," Sydney says.

"All right I'll see you there," Bridget says."I have to go."

"Okay," Sydney says smiling at her. She walks back over to Michael and Eric who are in
deep conversation. She wraps her arms around Michael's waist. He puts his hands over
hers"oh I forgot to ask Eric how's Claire?"

"She's all right I think sometimes she'd rather see you instead of me," Eric says.

"Call me when she needs her next briefing I'll do it and I'll be here watching her,"
Sydney says.

"All right," Eric says. He smiles at her and Syd smiles back"so what are you two doing
today?"

"I'm going shopping with Juliet, Abby, Karen and Bridget and you are coming over to our
house to watch the Kings game, "Sydney says.

"Oh right of course," Eric says.

"Yip," Sydney says. She turns to Michael and looks at him sweetly"keys please."

He shakes his head"not until I get a kiss," he says.

Sydney turns him around and kisses him and he kisses her back you see Eric rolls his eyes
they pull apart and Michael gives her the keys."See you later Eric," Sydney says.

"Bye Syd," Eric says.

She leaves and then you see her go to get her car but there's a note on her windscreen she
takes it off. She looks around and opens it. It reads "BETTER WATCH OUT HE MIGHT BE THE
FIRST ONE TO GO" she drops the letter on the ground. She gets in the car and drives away.

You see someone in the shadows watching all of this and then you just see a pair of shoes
and you see them walk over to where she dropped the note and picks it up. You never see
the face.

***

You see her sitting at home later on the couch and you hear the door open and you hear
Michael and Eric's voices."Why do you think she didn't go?"Eric asks.

"I don't know," Michael says. He sees her sitting on the couch"Syd."

"I got a letter saying BETTER WATCH OUT HE MIGHT BE THE FIRST ONE," Sydney says. Michael
comes over and sits beside her."I'm scared Michael."

He puts his arm around her and draws her close she starts crying"it's okay Syd I promise I
won't let anything happen to you or our babies," Michael says.

She nods but keeps on crying he strokes her hair Eric just stands there looking completely
confused."What's going on?"he asks. They look at him.

***

Then you see someone standing outside the window watching them yet again you don't see the
face. But you see the persons arm and you see there's a tattoo there with the same thing
on the locket."Beware Sydney Vaughn you won't be able to hide," the voice says...

To be continued...

Ooh got you there didn't I. I'm thinking maybe it's not an enemy we know of but somebody
from her past but we'll have to see.

Please review I had to finish there because I was scaring myself and not a very good idea
at 23:36.Please enjoy as usual.

I think the next chapter will skip about two months so she'll be about five months
pregnant and just showing slightly.

And I'll be deciding the names of the twins very soon I'll pick my favourites and I'll let
you guys vote.
