Chapter 3:
"I'm sorry…." The doctor began.
Vaughn quickly interrupted "What is it" he demanded.
"I'm sorry" he began again "Miss Bristow suffered a miscarriage. There was nothing we could do"
"Wh-What?" Vaughn stammered "A miscarriage"
"How far along was she?" Jack enquired.
"12 weeks" he replied.
"B-But I didn't even know she was pregnant, she never told me." Vaughn had tears welling up in his eyes.
"I'll leave you alone for now, if you need anything page me" he said as he exited the room.
Vaughn turned to the unconscious Sydney and picked up her limp hand again "Why didn't you tell me sweetie?" he asked although he knew he wouldn't get a reply. Jack just stood there in a stunned silence muttering to himself.
Vaughn looked up at him, tears glistening in his eyes "Why wouldn't she tell me something like this?" he asked.
"I'm not the person to answer that, Sydney is the only one who can."
"I don't get it, we normally tell each other everything" he turned towards Syd again "Why sweetie, why didn't you say anything" he repeated as his free hand moved slowly towards her stomach. As he placed his hand gently on her stomach he allowed the tears that had built up in his eyes to spill out. Jack who suddenly felt awkward standing there announced that he had better get back to the Ops Centre and could Vaughn call him if there was any change.
Jack walked slowly through the three sets of bars and up to the window of Irina's cell. She looked up when she heard the bars move and assumed it was Sydney but was surprised when she saw Jack standing at the window before her. She walked slowly up to the window. "Where's Sydney? Shouldn't she be back from London by now" she asked.
"She is" Jack replied. A confused look spread across Irina's face.
"If she's back then why isn't she here herself?"
"Sydney was shot in London. She's unconscious in hospital now."
Irina stepped slowly back towards the bed and sat down on it, a shocked look on her face.
"Is she gonna be alright?" she asked as the tears welled up in her eyes.
"The Doctor says she'll make a full recovery but she needs to regain consciousness first."
Relief spread across Irina's face. "There's another thing though, Irina, she had a miscarriage."
"I didn't know that she was pregnant."
"No one knew besides her, she didn't even tell Vaughn."
"I want to see her" she announced.
"Kendall won't allow you to go and see her and she'll be in hospital for weeks."
"I don't care" she yelled "Please convince him, I want to see my daughter."
"I have to go, I have work to do."
"Please Jack" she said softly "Can you talk to Kendall."
Jack didn't reply he merely turned and left Irina sitting on her bed, tears falling down her cheeks.
Vaughn had been sitting next to Sydney holding her hand for hours when Weiss came into visit. "Hey man. Has there been any change?" he asked.
"Nothing, I just wish she'd wake up. I'm so worried about her."
"I know you are. She'll be fine. She's Sydney Bristow if there's anyone who can pull through this she can" Weiss replied trying to reassure his friend. Vaughn looked up at Weiss, tears gathering in his eyes once again.
"What is it Mike, what's wrong?" he asked worried.
"Sydney had a miscarriage" he stated, tears spilling out of his eyes and down his face "She was pregnant with our child and she didn't tell me" he finished slowly. Weiss was shocked.
"I-I" he started before walking over to Vaughn "I'm so sorry man." Vaughn looked up at his friend whose eyes were also glistening with tears and he started crying even more.
