Summary~ Future Fic; When Sydney disappears, Vaughn is determined to find her, for his sake and their son's
*****
Sydney pulled into her parking place around four o'clock the next afternoon. After gathering up the mountains of papers that she had to grade this weekend, dumping it all inside, and saying goodbye to and paying the babysitter, she walked outside to where her son was playing basketball "Ya know, Mark's gonna get really mad when he sees that you lowered his hoop" she teased, trying to make him afraid of their 14 year old neighbor who was always outside either practicing basketball or soccer
"It's not his" Will sassed "Its every ones who lives here, and it just happens to be right in front of our apartment. Plus, Mark is big, he can make it higher again if he wants to" he replied matter of factly
*Wow, he's good* Sydney thought *just like his father* she added, thinking of all the times Vaughn had been so sure of himself. She sat down nearby and watched him play, his jersey that was about three sizes too big, #10, his lucky number as well as his favorite player's, with his shaggy hair bouncing in his face, Sydney made a mental note to take him for a haircut next week
William dribbled the ball over to where his mom was sitting "Look what I can do mommy" he said as he shot the ball and it swished through the net
*Wow* Sydney thought *he's pretty good for a four year old* "So Will, are you gonna play hockey again, or just follow your NBA dream?" she asked, thinking of Vaughn's hockey obsession
"Hockey's okay, but I'm not a very good skater" he whined
"That's okay sweetie, I'll help you" Sydney said, pulling him onto her lap. "So how about we go inside and figure out what we are going to make for dinner with grandpa"
"Okay" Will replied and followed Sydney inside "Hey mommy, let's cook out cheeseburgers"
"Really? Your grandfather doesn't really hit me as the cheeseburger type of guy" Sydney said with a smile
"So? I like cheeseburgers" Will said, giving his mom that adorable lopsided grin
"Okay fine, I'll start dinner, you go play okay?" she said, pushing him towards his room
An hour later William walked out the back door to where Sydney was standing "Mommy I'm tired of playing, can I go outside and wait for grandpa?" he begged
"No, no one is out there and I can't let you be out by yourself" Syd replied
"Mark is out there"
"I thought you were afraid Mark was gonna beat you up"
"No mommy, YOU were afraid Mark was gonna beat me up" William said, finally getting Sydney to cave
"Okay fine, but come in when grandpa gets her okay?"
"K, byebye" Will said as he ran towards the front door
