Two Years Ago
Chapter 3

"She's gonna be just fine, nothing that a little time won't heal. You're lucky that you found her when you did, young man. Too much more blood lost and she might have been too far gone." The doctor chattered on a bit longer about something, but Vaughn didn't hear anymore. The hallway was suddenly very far away from Sydney in her room, and he just wanted to get back in the room to be with her. He thanked the doctor as soon as she stopped talking and entered the room again, going straight to his previous place right by her bed.
"You're going to be okay!" he said, sitting down beside her and smiling at her.
Sydney smiled back at him. "You want to know what she said to me?" she asked him, and her smile broadened as he nodded. "As she was leaving, she leans down and whispers to me, 'That's quite a looker you've got there!' It was all I could do to not burst out laughing."
Sydney can't contain her laughter as Vaughn starts to blush. She reaches for his hand and grins at him until he can't help but grin back at her.
"So as soon as they let you out of here, you wanna go to Santa Barbara?" he asks, attempting to change the subject.
"You know I do."
"Good. Glad that's settled." Vaughn grins at her. "Now you get some sleep, and I think I'll try to do the same."
"Where are you going?" she asks, not wanting to be left alone.
"No where. I'm gonna sit right here in this nice, comfy, hospital chair and keep you company." He starts to make himself comfortable in the not-so-comfortable- looking chair, with a determined look on his face.
Sydney closes her eyes and soon falls asleep with a contented smile on her face. Vaughn again watches her until he himself falls asleep.
The next morning, Vaughn wakes up to the sun streaming in the window, and Weiss hovering over the bed.
Vaughn looks up at him. "You look like a worried mother standing there over her."
"Very funny. Besides, someone has to play the part of the worried mother."
Weiss hunches over and looks skyward. "Oh doctor, please tell me my precious baby will be okay!" he says in a high squeaky voice.
Vaughn rolls his eyes. "You're a trip and a half. So where is her father?"
"He's supposedly in Africa somewhere, but no one can get in contact with him. But you don't need to worry about that at all. Sydney is your only concern for the next two weeks. Kendall's orders, can you believe that!"
"Wow, no I can't believe that. I'm impressed! Wait.Africa somewhere? That's all we know about Jack Bristow? What's going on?"
"I don't know any thing more. I'll keep you posted, I promise, but really, don't worry about it too much. You have more important things to deal with. Speaking of, the doctor said she woke up last night?"
"Yeah, just for a little. I got some information out of her."
"Yeah? What'd she say?"
Vaughn catches Weiss up to speed on what Sydney had told him the night before.
"Wow," Weiss says. "I guess we better let Kendall in on this."
"Yeah I guess so. Are you going in today? I kinda want to stay here with her."
"How about this, I'll stay here for an hour or two while you go home and shower, get something to eat, whatever you need to do. Then come back here and I'll go see Kendall and tell him what we know."
"Okay, I guess it would be good for me to eat something. Alright, I'll be back soon. Take care of her for me."
"Don't worry, I will. And take your time, she'll still be here!" Weiss calls to him as he leaves the room. He shakes his head in amusement at his love struck friend.
