Author's note: I logged on today to see if there were any replies and when
I saw so many I decided that I had to write another chapter. For the first
time I've actually thought a little about the story and where it's going to
go so from now on it'll have a little more direction. Thanks all!
'I guess we can't put this off any longer Syd,' Vaughn said regretfully. 'Now that you're back, everything's going to change. I thought about it last night and there's no way I'm going back to Lauren. I never loved her. The poor girl was just an attempt to get over you. Boy I was stupid. If I thought that marrying an intelligent, pretty woman would make me stop yearning for you, I was just acting out of stupidity.'
'So you're going to leave her?' Sydney asked in a small voice. 'I don't want you to do anything you'll regret.'
'Are you kidding?' Vaughn moved closer. He wrapped his arms around her and drew her closer. 'You're the only one for me.'
God, he was so close. And that voice. He smelt as she remembered. She leaned in and they shared a passionate kiss. Just as things were starting to heat up. 'Ring Ring. Ring Ring.' Reluctantly Sydney broke free. She reached to the night table and picked up her mobile. 'It's the CIA.' 'You really should get it.' She stood up and kissed him on the forehead. 'Go and have a cold shower.'
'Bristow here.' 'We have your complete medical results Agent Bristow. Are you sitting down?' 'Just tell me what you concluded,' Sydney said impatiently. 'You know that scar on your stomach? Well, it seems that it's from a caesarean. You're a mother. The scar is about 17 months old.' It couldn't be. With that, Sydney blacked out.
When Vaughn returned to the bedroom after his shower, he straightaway saw Sydney lying on the bed. 'Oh my god.' He lifted her to a sitting position. 'Syd, Syd. Can you hear me? Wake up.' Sydney's eyes fluttered open. 'Who was on the phone.' 'It was the medical unit of the CIA.' She paused. 'Well, what did they say?' 'The scar on my stomach is from birth. A little child of 17 months is running around somewhere.' Vaughn sat down. 'So you have a son or a daughter?' He asked in a very flat voice. 'Who's the father?' 'Don't you understand Vaughn? 17 months ago. I disappeared 2 years ago. It's your child. I must have been pregnant and not realized.' 'We have a child?' There was amazement in his voice. 'And they are nearly one and a half? Where?' 'Now that,' Syd said in a grim voice, 'I don't know.'

Together they rushed to the CIA. 'Requesting permission to meet with Agent Kendall.' 'Permission granted, proceed.'
'What's wrong Sydney?' 'Come in dad. You need to hear this.'

'Sir, OUR child is out there. She or he is being held captive.' 'I understand Agent Vaughn. But we still have to be very careful. Sloane is still at large and is very dangerous. He has bait and you're ready to bite.' 'Do you hear what you're saying? This is a CHILD,' Jack roared, 'we're talking about an innocent being.' 'I'll give you two months. Do what you can to find the child but be careful.'
'I guess we can't put this off any longer Syd,' Vaughn said regretfully. 'Now that you're back, everything's going to change.
