Chapter 3
Michael Vaughn's POV
Sydney looked down. "I have lots to tell you Vaughn. Please just let me say it. I need you to listen and not say anything. If you interrupt I don't know if I will be able to go one." She looked him in the eye's to be sure that he understood the looked down again. Eric took Syd's hand in his.
'Oh my Gosh' I thought. 'My best friend stole my girlfriend.' He was ready to kill Eric on the spot but then Sydney started to talk again.
"When you left it was so hard to go on. It took me weeks before I left my home. I thought it was me. That I had pushed you too far. That that was the reason you had left. I went to my dad and he said that he couldn't tell me where you where. No one could. So I went to Eric. He helped me. He stayed with me. Even he didn't know where you where. It was like you had vanished. Then I found out some news. This was life altering news. Michael," she looked me in the eye, "I found out that I was pregnant. I new the child was yours. You where the only one I had been with. I tried everything to find out where you where. I tried to black mail my father, threaten Kendall and Devlin. No one would tell me. Will moved in with me. To help me. He didn't think that I should be alone. He was right although I will never tell him that. It was the hardest thing I had ever done. After the twins where born Eric moved in to help with them. It was so hard. I missed you so much." She had tears in her eyes and wouldn't look at Eric or me. I look at Eric and found that even he didn't know the whole story.
"Their names and Ryan Michelle and Taylor Wilma. They are in Eric's car if you want to see them," she pauses as if she wasn't sure what else to say. "Say something." She yelled at me.
"What am I suppose to say," I yelled back. Then suddenly I realized I was yelling and dropped my voice to a whisper. "You told me not to talk."
Sydney looked up towards Eric's car. "They're awake." Eric nodded.
Sydney passed me the keys to her SUV. "Eric and I will take them home. If and when you ever want to see me or him again you can come by. Please don't crash," she looked me in the eye before getting up and following Eric to the car. They pulled out and started to drive away.
I got up and started walking down the shore. My head pounding with new information. The woman I loved was sleeping with my best friend. I know she didn't say it aloud but I wasn't a spy for nothing. Wait a second she didn't say they had slept together maybe they where just dating. But then they where living together.
Suddenly I remembered what else she had said. That I was a father. Twins, the word echoed around in my brain. Two children that I didn't know had existed until now. I thought about their names, Ryan and Taylor. I didn't even know if they where boys or girls, or why she chose those names. Or how old they where.
I pulled out my phone. Even after all these years I still new her number. The phone rang twice before she answered.
"I have questions"
"I have the answers."
"Meet me somewhere"
"CIA headquarters, 20 minutes" she stated before hanging up.
CIA headquarters, 20 minutes later
She was waiting in her office for me. On her desk was a picture of Eric, her and two gorgeous little girls.
"They're girls?"
"Yes." She walked over to me. "I have to tell you that I did miss you."
"I was only supposed to be gone for a week at the max. I never thought I would have to leave you for 2 years."
"I now know that. I thought it was my fault"
"I would never had left you." She walked beside me and closed the door to her office.
"do people know they are mine?"
"No"
"Whose do they think they are?"
"Eric's. They have his last name." She walked up to me and kissed me. "No one will come in; they all think that I am at home."
