2 Days later.
"Good morning, Syd."
Sydney smiles at the figure standing by her window. "Morning, Michael."
He smiles at her use of "Michael." He just can't help but smile when she says it.
"Today you get to go home!"
Sydney's expression becomes very worried and sad. "To my home? I don't think I want to go there." She shudders. "Vaughn, I can't go back there yet!"
"I thought you might not want to. I told the doctor I could take you to my apartment if you agreed to that. That way I can still keep an eye on you and take care of you."
"Really? That would be so much better than going back in that house. I just can't handle it now, I know I can't!"
"It's settled then. This afternoon we're moving you to my place." The words threaten to catch in Vaughn's throat. *It's not exactly like we're deciding to move in together, but it sure sounds like it! I wish it were under better circumstances.*
Later that day, Sydney sits on the couch in Vaughn's apartment as Vaughn and Weiss bring some of her stuff in that she asked them to get from her house.
"Thanks guys. I wish I could help you."
Vaughn comes over to her and bends down to steal a kiss. "You just sit tight and keep working on getting better. You're not even supposed to be on your feet, how do you think you could carry something?" he teases.
Sydney smiles and pulls him down for another kiss. As they break apart, she looks into his eyes. "Vaughn, do you have any idea how much I appreciate this?"
He smiles at her. "I think I just might." He looks over at Weiss who is glaring at the two of them. "I think Eric doesn't appreciate it though."
"Looks like you guys don't need me here anymore. I think I'll head out."
"Eric, wait," Sydney calls. "You don't have to leave. I'd love for you to stay a while, maybe help Vaughn cook some food?" She grins innocently.
Weiss looks to Vaughn, who smiles and nods at him. Weiss chuckles. "You need me don't you? Well I sure can't walk out on anyone when they need me! Alright, Mike, whatcha got in your kitchen. You, little lady, you can call me Emeril! Just sit tight and see what we whip up for you!"
After a not so bad meal, Weiss leaves, and Sydney and Vaughn sit on the couch and flip on the TV.
"So, Sydney."
"Yeah?"
"You think next week you'd be ready for that vacation?"
