Chapter Six:
Sydney woke up the next morning and saw Vaughn sleeping in the chair next to her bed. She lay there looking around the room, not wanting to wake Vaughn. She'd been lying there for about half an hour when Vaughn jerked awake. "Hey sleepyhead" she commented, her voice cheerful "sleep well."
"Yeah, better, now that I know you're gonna be ok" he replied. Just as he finished speaking a nurse walked into the room cheerfully carrying a tray of food for Syd. She placed the tray down and left without saying a word. Syd sat up slowly, moaning in pain as she moved, and looked at the contents of the tray. She sighed as she saw toast, you really couldn't tell it what it was; it was that black, a small bowl of fruit and a carton of juice. Vaughn saw the disgusted look on her face and laughed softly. "Food ain't up to your high standards huh babe?" he asked.
"It doesn't look edible" she said as she poked at the fruit with the plastic fork. The fork snapped as she tried to pick up the fruit. Vaughn laughed. Syd just sighed again and picked up the juice carton "Guess this will have to do, unless you wanna go and get me some edible food from the cafeteria" she said batting her eyelashes at Vaughn.
"Ok" he replied before getting up and planting a soft kiss on her lips "be back soon." Sydney watched him walk out of the room, silently closing the door behind him. When he returned 15 minutes later she had a dazed look on her face and her eyes were puffy and red from crying. He put the food down and immediately grabbed in a tight hug whispering in her ear that it was ok and he was here now. He didn't need to ask why she was crying, he could tell she'd been thinking about her baby. They just sat there taking comfort in each others arms.
Weiss walked into the Ops Centre the next morning feeling more refreshed than he had been in days. He had a huge grin on his face as he walked, whistling to himself, towards Irina's cell. He was stopped halfway by a very angry looking Kendall. "Where are your going Agent Weiss?" he bellowed. As soon as Weiss heard his voice he stopped whistling and his smile disappeared.
"To see Irina Derevko Sir, I have news about Sydney for her."
"No one is to see the prisoner today."
"But why Sir?"
"That woman is getting on my nerves, she insists that I let her see her daughter and if I don't let her then she'll figure out a way to get there herself. She is to have no visitors, maybe that will teach her that she can't order me around" he replied, anger evident in his voice.
"But Sir, I promised her that when I had more news about Sydney I'd tell her."
"Well Agent Weiss, why don't you tell me what you were going to tell Derevko and I'll tell her myself."
"Sydney, Agent Bristow, regained consciousness yesterday; she's awake now."
"Well, I'll pass that on, and I'll go in to see her later, I need to talk to her about the mission in London. Where is Agent Vaughn?"
"He's still with her Sir."
"Why? She's awake now, he doesn't need to be there, does he?"
"He wants to stay with her for a few more days, he's helping her deal with something."
"What might that something be Agent Weiss?"
"With all due respect Sir, I promised Vaughn that I wouldn't say anything, its between him and Sydney."
"Agent Weiss, you WILL tell me why Agent Vaughn thinks he needs to be with Agent Bristow now she's awake" Kendall ordered.
"I can't I promised I wouldn't."
"Didn't you hear me Agent Weiss, you WILL tell me now" Kendall replied getting angrier by the minute.
"Because" he started.
"Because why?" Kendall interrupted.
"Sydney had a miscarriage" he finished. Kendall went bright red the anger finally rising to the surface and spilling out.
"WHAT!!!" he yelled "SHE WAS PREGNANT!!!." Everyone in the Ops Centre turned around as they heard this.
"Yes Sir" Weiss replied in a small voice. Kendall stormed off towards his office leaving Weiss standing there with while everyone stared at him, whispering to one another. Weiss turned and walked over to his desk, sitting down slowly he rubbed his head and began working on his reports.
