A/N: Thanks for all your reviews and don't worry Vaughn will be back soon I promise
bWhere I Belong…Chapter 4bSydney sat on her front porch sipping a glass of lemonade and watching her son play with their dog, Bruno, on the front lawn. Now with Matthew's 1st birthday on the horizon she had almost got to the point where she didn't think of Vaughn every time she looked at him.
Matthew had brown hair like her but he had Vaughn's stunning green eyes. To begin with she had found juggling a job and a baby hard but now her life followed a pattern. She would wake up around seven and get Matt prepared for the day then take him to a crèche run by one of Jo's friends on the way to the law firm where she worked as a receptionist. After work she picked him and spent a while talking with Rachel who ran the crèche before going home. Sydney heard the oven beep and whistled for Bruno as she walked over and scooped up Matthew.
In the kitchen she prepared Matt's bowl of egg custard wondering how he could eat the stuff and her lasagne while Bruno munched away happily on a piece of bread crust and some dog food. Life wasn't perfect Sydney could admit that but it was good. After everyone had ate their food Sydney loaded up the dishwasher and put Matt to bed before taking Bruno for a quick walk round the small suburban village she lived in.
When she returned to the house she could tell something wasn't right, she quickly let Bruno off his leash and the dog went mad running around in circles barking before launching himself up the stairs Sydney followed her dog into the nursery and immediately noticed that the crib was empty she looked around the room but there was nothing no sign of Matthew having moved at all and she had a horrible feeling in her gut that she knew exactly what had happened. She went downstairs and sure enough the lock on the back door had been picked!!!
