Chap 2
"Mom?"
"Yes dear?" Irina replied running her hands through her daughter's hair.
"Can you switch seats with me please? I really don't want to be here." She said not realizing that her choice of using French instead of English was not a good idea.
"Of course dear," Irina said changing seats with her and in the process flashing her gun and a death glare at Vaughn.
After a few minutes there is a timid knock at the door and it eases open gently to find Eric Weiss holding a sleeping figure and grinning like a fool.
"Eric!" she squeals disentangling herself from her mother and standing.
"Hey" he says putting the now squirming Donovan on the ground.
"Two years and all I get is a 'Hey'? Give me some sugar!" she says grinning and hugging him tightly. When she tries to move however she almost trips on Donovan who has recognized her and want some attention. She bends down to play with him, "So did he help you pick up any women lately?"
"Yup they were swarming me but I had to swat them off! There's only one girl for me and she's infatuated with my best friend! Can you believe it?" he says jokingly.
"Not anymore," she replies flatly and walking to a window to look at the sunset causing Eric to take survey of all who are in the room.
Seeing Alice he says "Why the heck did you bring her? Are you insane!" he whispers harshly to Vaughn, "You don't know what kind of state she could be in! She's been missing for two g**damn years Mike!"
"Well excuse me for being skeptical when the woman I loved is pronounced dead from blood loss and then shows up two years later like nothing happened!"
"Love," Eric counters.
"What?"
"You still do, I know it, you know it, and Jack and Irina know it. You may deny it but it's true. The only person that doesn't know it is the only one that matters, Sydney." Eric says slowly reading his friends response carefully.
Vaughn is saved from answering when the doctor she saw earlier walks back into the room capturing everyone's attention.
Well hello, I'm Dr. Drake, Nice to see you again Sydney, Jack, Irina." He says with a nod to each of them, "Good to see you again Jack. Now who are the rest of people?"
"Agents William Tippin and Eric Weiss." She says with a nod in each direction.
"And these three?" he asks pointing to Vaughn Alice and his mom when she doesn't continue.
"Former Agent Michael Vaughn," she says lingering on former, "I'm assuming. his. wife. Alison. Vaughn, and his mother Marie Vaughn, widow to the late Agent William Vaughn. I believe you were a friend of his doctor?"
"Yes I did a very good man, quite loyal too," he says with a sympathetic smile to Mrs. Vaughn, "Now Sydney I have the results of all the tests I ran before everyone got here, would you like to go over them now?"
"Yes," she says anxiously looking at him and grabbing her parents arms for support.
He looks at the papers remorsefully and then looks at her, "It seems you were right about your prior condition,"
"Oh god." She whispers cutting him off and sobbing into her mothers shoulder, "What happened?"
"It was a miscarriage, Ms. Bristow."
"Mom?"
"Yes dear?" Irina replied running her hands through her daughter's hair.
"Can you switch seats with me please? I really don't want to be here." She said not realizing that her choice of using French instead of English was not a good idea.
