Chapter 2
"Sydney hello. How have you been doing?" Lauren politely asked her husbands ex-love.
Sydney smiled and nicely answered the question, "As good as I can be I guess. Working though is helping."
"Good, because we're sending you off again. I know it's been hard for you but this mission needs you," and she regretfully added, "and Michael."
"Oh. He's going?" She hid her excitement.
"Yes. You two will be teaming up a lot from here on out."
Sydney slightly smiled and shook her head, "Good, we work well together."
Vaughn walked up beside the woman and butted in, "Good morning. We have a briefing. You two headed that way?"
Lauren looked at her watch, "Actually I have a meeting with Dixon. I'll be there in a few minutes."
She rushed off in one direction while Sydney and Vaughn headed in the other.
"So Syd. Did you hear we have another mission together."
"Yeah your wife just told me."
Hearing her say "his wife" felt like a knife through the heart.
They turned a corner and closed in on the conference room.
"Vaughn," she muttered and stopped walking, "there's something I need to tell you."
He looked around and pulled her into a corner, "Please. Don't say anything. I can't..."
He stopped as Weiss walked by.
"No I have to. Listen the other day I went..."
He cut her off, "I'm sorry. The meeting's starting. We shouldn't be talking anyways."
Vaughn rushed off to the room leaving Sydney alone.
She needed to tell him. She had to tell him before things got messy.
As Sydney composed herself and started to enter the room her father came up and turned her around.
"Dad. Hi." She said startled.
"Sydney I need to speak to you about a particular issue."
"Of course go ahead."
His face turned pale and he look uncomfortable.
"I had a annual checkup yesterday afternoon at the C.I.A hospital. And I.ran into Dr. Chioco."
"Oh dad."
"Sweetheart."
"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you."
"No I'm not the one you need to tell."
She gave a deep breath and shook her head, "I tried dad. But I don't want to ruin his life again."
"No Sydney. It wouldn't ruin his life."
She gave a sorrowful smile and entered the conference room.
She would wait as long as she could before telling anyone.
[FLASHBACK]
"Ms. Bristow. I'd like to congratulate you."
"Oh good there isn't anything wrong with me? I was worried I was getting sick."
The young Asian doctor smiled and shook his head, "No no you're not sick."
"Ok. Um, but why have I been so nauseas?"
"Ms. Bristow. Sydney. Your pregnant."
