Chap 5
And that is how I find myself sitting on a plane headed to LA, with my mom, Jack, Irina, Eric, and Sydney . She's currently glowing as we fill her in on the goings on of the past two years, she isn't happy she missed it but many good things have happened and she cant help but be thrilled when we tell her of Marshall and Carries marriage, though there is a bit of sadness around her when we bring up marriage and I can't help but finger the object she threw at me during her out burst and wonder if things had turned out differently if she would have married me. I try to hide the ring but my mother catches a glance at it and inhales quickly. "Is that.." She whispers. "Yeah" I state before falling victim to the sweetest memory.

October 1st 2002 "Hey, Syd!" I say walking up to her in the JTF. "Hey, What's up?" she asks looking up from the reports on her desk and giving me her full attention, I wonder what I did to deserve her even looking at me let alone date me. "I was wondering if you'd let me change our plans tonight?" "What do you have in mind agent Vaughn?" she asked in an innocent tone. "Dinner at my place," "Okay." ^%^%^%^%^% A few hours later at his apartment after they've eaten.
V: You want to dance?
He asked turning on the CD player in his living room. S: Okay.
She says walking up to him and putting her hands on his chest. They dance for a while, and Syd can sense something is wrong with him. S: Do I have something on my face?
She asked to get him to loosen up. V: No, you look beautiful. S: What's wrong? You're distracted. V: I have something to ask you, give you actually, hold on a second.
He moves to the bedroom and she can hear shuffling before he re enters the living room with something in his hand, which currently resides in his pocket. Vaughn takes her hand and leads her to the couch and crouches in front of her. S: Vaughn, what are you doing?
She asks transfixed by the small black box in his hand. V: Don't worry this isn't a proposal, not yet, but Syd I've loved you since I met you, bozo hair and all, I love you. This was my great-grand mothers ring, it's been handed down for generations it's a custom for the oldest son to give it to the woman he intends to marry. Sydney Amanda Bristow, you're that woman for me. I know we just started dating but in the three years that I've known you, I've grown from admiring your strong will and determination to loving the vulnerable side that you don't let anyone but me see. I wanted to give you this ring tonight on the anniversary of my heart stopping for the most strong, amazing, and amazingly beautiful woman in the world to me. As a promise that one day I do intend to marry you, no matter what our past or futures hold. I love you baby." S: I love you, you're the most wonderful, kindest sweetest man that I could've ever hoped of meeting. I love you so much.
With that she kissed him and they made their way to his bedroom kicking the door shut to keep a disappointed Donovan out.
*********** "Do you think they'll have any kids?" she asks. "Actually she's really pregnant," says Eric. "Was," I state trying to regain my composure and they all look at me, "she was pregnant, the baby was born about six hours ago, a girl, Eva Melissa Flinkman." With that they are all talking about what she probably look like and making plans to go see her when we land. "Do you want to go to the hospital with your mother and I or Eric?" Jack asks Sydney. "Since I've been gone for two years with no memory of it I should probably head to JTF before Kendall thinks I skipped town on him." She says sadly. "I'll talk to him and make sure you can go"
