D: Yeah right, only in my dreams would I own this show. And also be a millionaire to boot. Needless to say, I don't own them, and don't have anything either. (except in my dreams, where a certain French man doesn't wear a whole lotta clothes. Ever.)

An: Well, I've been trying to upload the last two chapters on the ff.net for 2 days now, but it won't let me. So, I'll just have them all typed and ready to load when it DOES finally feel like working. Here's the next chapter, it's a doozy, hold onto your knickers!!! Enjoy!

"....will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Vaughn asked, going down on his knee, SWAT gear and all, holding up an open velvet box with the most exquisite engagement ring inside it, shining brightly.

[Now]

Sydney's eyes instantly filled with tears as she covered her mouth in shock.

"Oh.my..gosh." she whispered as she finally looked Vaughn in the eyes and realized she wasn't just dreaming. She held her stare a moment before her whole face lit up, dimples coming out in full force as the tears spilled over.

"Yes..Michael, I'd absolutely love to become your wife!" she said, jumping into his arms. He pulled back and kissed her breathless before reaching down and placing the ring on her left hand. She gazed at it, gasping.

"Oh..Vaughn! It's gorgeous!" she whispered.

"For a gorgeous lady." He replied, smiling. She just beamed, tears in her eyes.

"I want you to know..I've had that since before I was captured." Vaughn stated seriously.

"You DID?!..But..where?" She asked, knowing she'd gone through his drawers just to touch something that was his.

"I had Eric holding onto it. After...the explosion...he just couldn't part with it or mention it to you." Vaughn explained.

"Aww..gosh. How tough, thank you Eric." She said looking over her shoulder at him. He kissed her softly once more before Eric interrupted.

"Sorry Love Birds, but we gotta go catch ourselves a rat." Eric said.

"Ohh, Weiss, you're giving him WAY to much credit! And you're insulting the rats!" Sydney said sarcastically, getting some chuckles from everyone. Eric nodded, agreeing.

Sydney, Sytory, and Irina walked the teams to the garages to see them off. Just before stepping through the last door, Vaughn leaned down and kissed Sydney softly, hugging her close.

"Come back to me, my fiancé." Sydney whispered, causing him to grin.

"Always." He whispered back. The departed, dropping their hands only when they couldn't reach each other any longer. Sydney gazed at the closed door a moment before turning to her mother and sister. She eyed them through her tears then screamed deliriously.

"I'm ENGAGED!" she yelled, jumping up and down like a little kid.

"Let me see! Let me see!" Sytory shrieked, grabbing Sydney's left hand.

"Oh, Sydney. It is gorgeous! What a rock!" Sytory joked. Sydney looked up to her mom and she smiled.

"I'm getting married mama!" she said in a little girl voice as she hugged her mom.

"Congratulations baby." Irina stated, smiling like any proud mother.

"Okay..come on you two. Time to go get you check out. I don't want this stupid flu bug you two apparently share to get serious and then have the wrath of Jack on my back. Hey, that rhymes!!" Sytory joked, linking her arms through one of her sisters and her mothers, dragging them off to med. services. The whole way there, anyone Sydney passed by, she'd mention 'I'm engaged!' even if she didn't really know the person.

Once there, Sytory made sure to check them in, then left to keep post at the central ops center to stay informed of the mission's status, so she could tell Sydney and her mom.

Two hours later she was called in suddenly to the infirmary. She rushed in, thinking the worst. She walked in to find both her mother and her sister sitting on a couch in a conference room where doctors talked over cases with patients and family. They both were sitting stock-still, staring straight in front of them, mouths open slightly.

"Ohmyga..what's wrong?! Are you dying?" Sytory said, freaking out. She'd JUST got her family that she so desperately wanted and now they were going to be gone. Sydney blinked registering that her sister was standing there. She slowly turned her head and, gaping, mumbled.

"No.Tor...not dying.uh...just..um...pregnant." Sydney said in shock. Sytory exhaled, then beamed.

"Congratulations, AGAIN sis!! Wow...what a day huh?!" Sytory exclaimed, hugging her non-responsive sister.

"Well,...mom, so you have a bug or something then?" Sytory asked at her still incoherent mother. She just shook her head. Sytory looked up worried again. Sydney finally spoke up.

"Um...I guess..I'm not the only one who's going to be a BIG sister in our family." Sydney stated in shock. Sytory frowned, not understanding. She went over what Sydney had said, then it dawned on her.

"Oh.oh my..wow...mom? You're PREGNANT?!! Bu.how..I mean, ew, I know HOW..but, your kinda..old aren't you?" Sytory said, completely baffled. Sydney just burst out giggling. She couldn't help it anymore.

"Well, apparently not THAT old!" Irina commented as she too smiled, then started giggling.

"I'm blown away...I just found out I'm gonna be a grandmother AND a mother!! Who else could possibly say that?!!" Irina said shaking her head is disbelief.

"I thought.I mean..I'm 45!! I'm getting to the end of all that..stuff. And I just didn't think it was possible anymore!" Irina said in a shocked voice.

"Mom? Are you going to be okay, though? Isn't it dangerous?" Sytory asked as she wedged herself between them taking each of their hands in hers.

"They said it is High risk. But that I'm very healthy for my age. More like a 35-year-old. I just have to be extra careful, more doctor visits." Irina mentioned.

"How far along are you two?" Sytory asked.

"I'm 6 weeks." Sydney stated.

"I'm 7-8 weeks." Irina said. Sytory beamed.

"I CAN'T believe I'm going to be an Aunt AND a big sister all at once!" Sytory exclaimed.

"I'm gonna be a MOM and a big sister..again!" Sydney pointed out.

"I've got you both beat. A grandmother and a mother...again!" Irina said beaming. They sat there smiling, letting it sink in. Then Sydney giggled, causing Irina to giggle. Which led to Sytory joining them.

"My GAWD!! Dad's going to FLIP!! He's gonna s**t kittens!!" Sydney stated through giggles and tears, setting off the other two even louder.

Just then Kendall came in, seeing all the girls giggling.

"I assume nothing is wrong then?" he stated. They only giggled harder.

"I'm gonna be a mom!" Sydney spit out. Kendall grinned.

"I'm gonna be an aunt!" Sytory said.

"I'm gonna be a mom...again!" Irina said. Kendall frowned confused.

"Don't you mean GRAND mother?" he asked.

"Nope!" Irina replied.

"I'm also going to be a Big sister!" Sytory added.

"Me too! Again!" Sydney stated smiling. Kendall blanched, scratching his head.

"You mean to tell me you're BOTH expecting?!" Kendall asked.

"Yep!" all three girls chirped, giggling away again. Kendall's eyes bugged out.

"We're just picturing what Jack's face is gonna look like when we tell him he's going to be a Grandfather AND a father!" Irina said, wiping her eyes off.

"You won't see it! It'll be on the floor!" Kendall quipped, grinning.

"Well, congratulations both. I hope everything turns out well. Now.the reason I came to get you, the teams have made it to their destinations. Mission is underway as we speak." Kendall said, getting everyone serious. They all stood, re-collecting themselves then followed Kendall out to the main ops. center.

"Sir, please...can I have a com?" Sydney asked as her eyes darted over all the screens and readings. She was back in Agent mode.

"Nothing could hurt having another mind on this mission. Especially yours." Kendall stated, handing her a comlink. She sat at the console that showed where each agent was placed. She quickly spotted Jack, Vaughn, Dixon, and Eric, keeping an eye on them. Dixon and Jack were on one team while Eric and Vaughn were on another.

"Base ops, this is Boy Scout, the Beta team is all set and ready. Will deploy on your call." Vaughn called in. A couple minutes later Jack came on.

"Base ops, this is Cardinal, Alpha team is a go. Waiting for your signal." Then came the last team.

"Base ops, this is Falcon, Delta team is on stand by and ready. Will proceed on your mark." Agent Stewart called. Sydney took a deep breath and looked up to Director Kendall. He gazed down at her then smiled.

"Agent Bristow..would you like to do the honors?" he asked. She looked to all the screens then nodded. Kendall motioned to Marshall to link her com to all teams. Then he nodded to Sydney.

"When you're ready." He said to her. She smiled as she took a breath and called out all the teams.

"All teams, this is Mountaineer at Base Ops, you have the go ahead with Mission Finale." Sydney said strongly, grinning to Marshall.

"Ten-four Mountaineer Delta team is a go." Agent Stewart said.

"Ten-four Mountaineer. Alpha team is a go." Jack stated, a hint of pride in his voice for his daughter.

"Ten-four...Mountaineer-Scout...Beta team is a go." Vaughn said with a smile in his voice. Sydney's grin grew wider, dimples out in full force. Kendall stared down at Sydney, an eyebrow raised. She simply lifted up her left hand, wiggling her ring in front of him. He caught sight of it and nodded, understanding.

"Well, another congratulations then Agent Bristow." He stated evenly, but Sydney could see a smile in his eyes.

"Thank you sir." She mentioned back softly. Then her focus turned back to the monitors as she closely followed what was being done. Every so often she'd speak up, giving her input to different team leaders. She sat at the end of her seat as she watched the mission she'd been waiting for for so long, and never took her eyes off of the Vaughn and the rest of the agents she cared for. Praying everything would end well, not like what it seemed to normally end like.

Really unexpectedly.

An: There's the next chapter, with a little bit of a cliffhanger!! Do review and tell me what you all think, I love getting them!! Also, I'm not that great at writing the technical terms of what a mission should be like so I just did some conversations as best as I could and I'll leave what happens in the actual mission to your imagination. Don't forget to review!!!

Aan: Sorry so short, the next one will be a longer one, and I wanted to split when the girls found out about being pregnant from when the guys did. OH, and...any guesses as to gender for either and names is welcomed!! I think I already have them chosen, but as always, I take suggestions into consideration and if I really like what someone suggests, I might borrow it!!

Thanx!
