Chapter 10:
After she'd ordered Vaughn to go back to work Sydney had few visitors and was extremely bored as a consequence. Even though her and Vaughn rarely spoke when he was with her, it was comforting to know that he was there if she needed to talk or so she thought. Vaughn was really upset at her for not telling her about their baby although he said he understood her reasons he was pissed off with her. Sydney was upset by this and it added to her frustrations about being confined to bed etc. Everytime she started to talk about the baby Vaughn changed the subject or left the room.
Two days after she'd sent Vaughn back to work she was sitting in her bed staring into space when she remembered the 'package' that her father had bought around earlier in the day. It contained cards and other get-well messages from Dixon, Marshall and some of the other agents at SD-6. She opened it and began to read the messages. They bought a smile to her face for the first time in ages and she quickly rounded up a pen and some paper to draft letters in reply to their kind words. After she finished that she looked at the small white clock on the wall of her room and saw it was still only 2:35 in the afternoon, she sighed in disgust Vaughn and/or Weiss wouldn't be in for a few hours at least, even if they didn't speak it was nice to have company. After a short painful struggle she'd picked up her pack of playing cards and began to deal herself a game of solitaire. Following her fifth game she looked up after hearing the door open. Syd was surprised to see another bed being wheeled into the room. The person was still asleep, 'they won't be good company' she thought to herself as she slowly packed up her cards deciding to have another nap. At that moment her Doctor approached her bed. "How are you today Miss Bristow?" he questioned.
"A bit sore in my side still but I'm ok otherwise. How long am I going to be attached to these?" she said pointing to the assortment of tubes and wires still attached to her arm.
"They'll be gone in the next few days."
"When can I get out of bed, I mean I'm really bored sitting here."
"Five days, tops. Then you'll have a few weeks of physiotherapy to help you regain your balance."
"How long till I go home?"
The Doctor stood there calculating figures in his head "Minimum 4 weeks, 6 at the most."
Sydney had a disgusted look on her face "Are you sure I can't go home sooner?"
"Definitely not, your body is still healing, you were badly injured, your lucky to be alive. I have to go, I'll come in and check on you tomorrow, if you need anything just call your nurse" with that he turned and left.
Weiss arrived first that night. He walked into her room whistling carrying a bunch of flowers in one hand and his yo-yo in the other. Sydney was dozing when he arrived and his cheerfulness not only woke her up but her roommate as well, who was less than impressed about being woken. Weiss ignored her and turned his attention to Syd presenting her with the large bouquet of flowers before putting them in water. He leaned down to give her a hug as she thanked him for the flowers stating 'they're beautiful'. He nodded and took a seat next to her before noticing the pile of cards from the people at SD-6. "They sent you cards did they?" he questioned.
"Yeah Dad dropped them off. Where's Vaughn?"
"He said something like he might be in later if he got through his mountain of paperwork."
"Mountain of paperwork?"
"Yeah Kendall's real pissed with him as well for not mentioning the baby. I'd steer clear of him for a while after your out. Speaking of which, when do you go home?"
"4-6 weeks still. Hopefully Kendall will be over it by then."
"Probably not, he holds grudges. He hasn't let anyone see your Mum for days cos she said that she was gonna kill and dismember him cos he won't let her see you."
"Mum said she was gonna dismember Kendall?"
"Yep and when he walked away from her she called him a 'weak son of a bitch' and told him to 'go home and cry to his mummy'. Apparently he didn't like that cos she's in solitary at the moment and spends most of her time yelling at the cameras trying to get Kendall to come and see her. He won't."
"So I guess she won't be coming to see me then, huh?"
"Vaughn went and asked Devlin, so maybe, he said he'd think about it." They lapsed into a comfortable silence until Sydney's stomach growled. He laughed at the embarrassed look on her face. As if on cue a nurse came in with a tray of food for her. Weiss took one look at the food on the tray and began gagging. "They make you eat THAT!"
"Yeah, it all tastes like cardboard."
"Do you want me to go and get you some better food? I mean I haven't eaten yet either."
"Would you?" she asked excitedly.
"Sure, whatcha want?"
"Anything" she begged.
"Be back soon then." He got and walked out the door and down the hallway.
In his absence Sydney sat there playing with her food like a little kid. Ten minutes later Weiss returned with the food. "Bout time" she commented "I was about to eat this stuff on my tray." He laughed and handed her a bag. She opened it and found a sandwich, a cake and some juice. "Thanks Weiss you're my hero" she said as she quickly gobbled up the food and greedily drank the juice. Weiss sat there shaking his head at her "You certainly ain't a lady are you Syd?" she looked up him with a mouthful of sandwich and replied, "You got a problem with that, its not my fault I haven't had real food for a month."
"Good point" he replied as he went back to eating his food.
