Chapter 9: Always And Forever

*5 months later*

Sydney and Vaughn were already living together for about five months now and they still enjoyed each others presence.

One day, Cassie had to spend the night at jack's place, because Sydney had to go on a mission and Vaughn had to go on hockey practice.

Sydney was ready to go and she kissed Cassie and Vaughn goodbye.

"I want you to be a good girl, ok?"

"Ok, mommy!"

"Love you!" They both smiled at each other.

"Love you too mommy!" Sydney then turned to Vaughn.

"I'll miss you!" They hugged;

"I'll miss you too! Be careful ok?"

"I will. Have fun during your hockey game!"

"Thanks. When will you be back?"

"Probably not before ten o'clock tonight. Why?"

"No reason."

"Ok. Bye!"

"Bye!" They kissed and Sydney then got in her car and drove away. Vaughn and Cassie walked back into the house and Vaughn smiled. Sydney had no idea of what was awaiting her tonight.

A few hours later, Vaughn dropped Cassie off at Jack's house.

"I'll see you tomorrow, ok?"

"Ok, daddy!" he kissed his daughter.

"I love you!"

"I love you too!"

"Bye!"

"Bye!" Vaughn waved and drove to the florist. He still needed to pick up a few things for tonight.

He had lied to Sydney about needing to go on a hockey practice. He just needed to find a way to get Cassie out of the house that night, because he had a special surprise for Sydney.

When Sydney got back that night, it was already ten o'clock. The mission had been harder then she thought it would be and she was really exhausted. She got out of her car and walked towards the house.

When Sydney opened the door and turned on the light, she was breath taken about what she saw…

The whole floor was covered with red and white rose petals. In the centre of the room stood two candles and a little note. She picked it up and read:

Dear Syd,

Please meet me in the garden.

 All my love, Vaughn

She placed the note back on the table and went to the garden;

What she saw there was absolutely amazing.

There were little lights everywhere and a table, with candles on it, was set in the centre of the garden. Sydney already had tears in her eyes when she suddenly heard Vaughn's voice behind her.

"You like it?" She turned around to face him and kissed him gently.

"I love it! Vaughn it's absolutely amazing!" He smiled.

"Thanks. Look, there is something I have to tell you."

"What is it?" He took her hand and kissed it.

Vaughn then suddenly bends down on one knee and Sydney already knew what he was doing.

"Oh my God…"

"Sydney…all my life I've searched for the right woman to share my life with and I've finally found her. There's nothing I want more in the world then to grow old with you and have a family. You're my everything and without you I'm just not complete. You're my soul mate and I don't know what I would do without you. I want to be with you every minute of the day! So I'm asking you this, Sydney Bristow…will you marry me?"

She didn't hesitate to answer. She had already dreamt of this moment for such a long time and it was finally happening.

"Yes! I'll marry you!"

He got up and they kissed passionately. Sydney suddenly didn't fell so exhausted anymore.

After a few minutes they broke the kiss and he shove her engagement ring over her finger.

It was a beautiful golden ring with little blue and white diamonds.

"Vaughn, it's beautiful! I love you!" Sydney hugged him.

"I love you too!" He then led her to where the table was standing and they shared a romantic candle-light supper.

She suddenly looked up at him.

"Did you do all of this by yourself?"

"Yes, I did." She looked very surprised.

"What? You look surprised!"

"Yeah, I mean you had to go on hockey practice, so when exactly did you find the time to do all of this?"

"Well, I lied. I didn't need to go to hockey practice; I just had to find a way to get Cassie out of the house."

"You're evil!"

"I know." She took his hand and they intertwined their fingers.

"Does my dad know about this?"

"No, he doesn't."

"I can't wait to see his reaction."

"Me neither." He leaned over to her and they kissed.

It was already passed midnight when they finally got back in the house.

They started kissing and they soon made their way upstairs into the bedroom.

Their clothes soon disappeared and they passionately made love.

Both celebrating that from now on they would be together for always and forever.
