Author's Note: (Drum Roll) And now…

"Will?" He turned to her, and the same shock registered on his face.
"Syd?" Suddenly he pulled his gun and aimed it at his old friend. "Sydney Bristow died 2 years ago. Who the hell are you."
"Tippen put your bloody gun down." Simon tried to intervene, but Will pushed him away.
"Will, I know what they told you, but it wasn't true. I was taken by the Covenant, I've lost two years of my life, my friends..."
"No. No, it can't be..."
"Will, ask me anything. If I am the real Sydney, then I will know." There were tears in her eyes. Simon stayed silent and off to the side.
"When I first met your father, he said something to me. I told you later, I told only you. What did he say?"
"He said that you reminded him of him at your age. Of when he met my mother." At this Will lowered the gun and Syd rushed to him. She hugged him hard and he back. "Syd, they said..."
"I know, I know."
"Wait..." Will released Syd and looked to Simon. "I've been coming here for months. She's been here, you know my background, and you never told me. You bastard." Will rushed over and slammed Simon to the wall.
"Will! No!" Syd screamed and Will, surprised let Simon slid back down the wall. "He's the father..." Will's eyes slid down fro the first time to his friend's belly.
"When?"
"During the two years, Simon and I..."
"Actually..." Will and Syd both looked over at Simon.
"What?"
"What?"
"You might want to sit down."
"I'm good." Syd's anger was just mounting. Will, who stood beside her, said the same.
"Fine. About 18 months ago, a project was created called "Project Humanities". This project's purpose was to create a generation of super-spies. It combined a perfect spy and a perfect brain. These two people were brought together under the pretenses of past memories, desires, or fantasies. They...consummated, then the memories were either erased or hidden in their minds. The participants are then put back in their original surroundings. Every few months, a handler checks up on each to make sure they suspect nothing. After 7 months, the handler stays with the mother..."
"7 months?" Simon stopped talking as Syd whispered out those words.
"What?" Will turned to Syd.
"She's quicker then you, and you're supposed to be the brain." Simon smirked.
"Omigod." Realization dawned on Will's face. "My job, your connection to Sydney."
"Getting warmer."
"Syd. We..." Will looked over at Sydney as she looked at him. It dawned on them both as they realized what had happened to them. Suddenly Sydney fainted and Will caught her as he glared at Simon.

"Wha?" Sydney opened her eyes and blinked while her vision cleared. She looked around at the small, but quaint cottage she was in. She was lying in a wide bed, still in her clothes from before. Will lay beside her, and stirred as she woke.
"Hey."
"Hey. Please tell me we are back in our old apartment." Will sighed and frowned.
"Unfortunately, no. After you fainted, I got you out of that house. We are in a cottage in Nepal."
"Nepal?"
"I wasn't sure what you wanted to do. I really didn't want to do anything without asking you."
"Thank you, Will. I am just so glad you are alive."
"That goes double for me." The two smiled at each other, and their hands found each other.
"You know, we have to talk about what happened."
"I know."
"We were...taken..."
"I know. I was told I was in an accident."
"I don't remember anything." Tears welled up in Sydney's eyes, and Will brought her close. He hugged her, rubbing her back, she hugged him, and he whispered in her ear.
"Shhh. It'll be okay." They spent the rest of the night talking about what they knew, remembered, thought, and also decided what they should do. By dawn, they had fallen asleep in each other's arms.

Two weeks later, two weeks before Syd's due date, she and Will arrived in LA. Syd was dressed in flowy white pants, a white tank top, and running shoes. Her long, brown hair was crimped and hanging loosely down her back. Will was wearing blue jeans, a white muscle shirt, a button-down blue shirt, with a leather jacket over top. They looked like the perfect couple. That was exactly what they had become, a couple. Over the past two weeks, they had realized they shared more then a baby, they shared feelings, deep feelings. Will's had always been there, may be Syd's had been too, but to them it didn't matter.
Elsewhere in LA, another strange sight was happening. For the first time, a group of CIA agents and their families were getting together, and not for work. Jack, Marshall, Carrie--holding her and Marshall's new son--Weiss, Vaughn, Lauren, Dixon and his kids were gathering at Jack's house for a bbq. They were celebrating the fourth of July, but the thought of the ones they had lost still crossed their minds.
"Do you think they'll understand?" Sydney and Will stood outside Jack's house, staring up at the large building.
"They're our friends, of course they will, they love us, you." Sydney smiled at Will, then hugged and kissed him. "Come on, Syd, let's go." The two headed towards the open backyard, with smiled on their faces.
Dixon was happily throwing a football around with his daughter Cassie and his son Max. Dixon threw it to Cassie, but it went over her head, and landed near the fence leading out to the street. Cassie bent to get it, but stopped as she noticed two figures approaching the group. She squinted to see who it was, but as she recognized the woman, she ran to them.
"Aunt Sydney." Max followed his sister's suit and ran to hug his "aunt".
Dixon looked up and was amazed to see his kids hugging a woman he thought he would never see again. He hurried over to see her, calling to Jack over his shoulder.
Jack and the others had been gathered around the bbq, laughing and talking, when Dixon called out to them. They all turned to see not only a very pregnant Sydney, but a very happy Will, as well.
"Syd." Jack whispered his daughter's name before he joined the others hurrying towards her. As the group reached her, they saw she had tears in her eyes.
"Oh God, it's so good to see you all. I am so sorry." Will gripped her hand, before the whole group broke into smiles and started to hug her.
