Chapter 9
Sydney tried to sleep after Weiss had left for some coffee. But as Vaughn's bed was wheeled in she realized that wouldn't be possible.
Of course though Lauren followed right behind.
"Michael really, you need your rest. Anything about the mission can wait." Realizing Sydney was awake Lauren diverted her attention, "oh glad your awake. Michael's been needing to talk to you."
"Actually Lauren," Vaughn spoke up, "I'm going to just rest for a little while. You were right, this can wait."
She shook her head and walked next to his bed, "You want me to stay?"
"No that's ok. I don't think I'll be able to sleep with you here."
Lauren leaned over for a kiss and grabbed her purse; "I'm going to go give Weiss a ride back to the hotel. Then I might get a few hours of sleep myself. I'll be back first thing tomorrow morning."
She kissed him one last time before heading to the door, turning off the lights before leaving.
The room remained silent for a few minutes before Vaughn finally spoke up.
"Sorry about the mission."
"It was sloppy," she responded.
He sighed and agreed, "I was distracted."
"So was I. If I hadn't been I might have realized I wasn't walking with you."
"I know I'm sorry."
"I'm just glad we're both ok," Sydney said quietly.
He didn't respond, but she heard him heading to the door. After he had turned on the lights she realized the sad look across his face.
"Vaughn? What's wrong?"
"Syd," he whispered as he sat at the end of her bed, "the doctor's wanted to tell you, but I.needed to be the one."
"What?"
"Sydney. There was nothing they could do," he was breathing heavily now, "the.. drugs Berezin gave you."
"No, no."
"I'm sorry baby. You had a miscarriage. There was nothing."
"No Vaughn," she began sobbing, "their wrong, your wrong."
"I wish they were sweetie. I wish they were."
Tears streamed down her face and she didn't bother pushing them away.
"It's my baby. I love her so much. Please Vaughn."
He started allowing himself to cry, "Her?"
"I don't know," she cried, "I wanted a baby girl."
Vaughn moved close to her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Vaughn."
"I know honey I know."
