Disclaimer: I don't own Alias; I'm just borrowing the characters.

Authors Note: Sorry it's been a while since I updated. I wrote this chapter on Thursday night after a STUPID thunderstorm rudely interrupted my reading of 'An Undefinable Sweetness' (great fic BTW). Anyway I had to get off the computer so I decided my time was much better spent writing another chapter for my loyal readers. Thanks for all the reviews; they mean so much to me. Anyways enjoy!! J

Chapter 11:

It was getting late by the time Weiss left. The nurse had to come in and tell him to leave because Sydney's anti-social roommate had called her in saying 'their laughing is greatly disturbing my ability to rest' in other words she was pissed with them. After bidding Syd farewell Weiss went over to Vaughns place. He let himself in without bothering to knock. Vaughn wasn't happy. "What are you doing here?" he asked a trace of anger in his voice.

"I've just been visiting your girlfriend. She's really upset with you man."

"Why?" he said raising his voice "because I didn't visit her?"

"Not just that, you don't talk to her when you are there. Don't try to deny it either, I've seen you with her you used to talk to her non-stop, now you barely say hello. What's your problem?"

"What's my problem? What's my problem?" he repeated his voice getting gradually louder "You really wanna know?"

"Yeah I do" Weiss replied his own voice almost as loud as Vaughns.

"She lied to me"

"She lied to you, that's your reason for freezing her out? That's pathetic, that's juvenile, hell I could come up with something better than that."

"She lied to me…."

"You said that" Weiss interrupted.

"If you would let me finish, she lied to me. She was pregnant with our child and she didn't see fit to tell me. It hurts to look at her, it makes me wonder what else she's hiding?"

"Ok let me tell you again just so it gets through your thick skull, there was no way you and Syd could have kept that baby, she knew that and she wanted to spare you the pain your feeling now. As for other secrets she doesn't have any. She loves you so much, I know this she tells me all the time. Look I'm gonna go now, I'll see you tomorrow." With that Weiss turned and left Vaughn standing there processing everything.

By the time Vaughn arrived at work the next day Weiss was already there. He walked over to his desk and greeted him with a quiet 'hey'. Weiss looked up at his friend. "Hey, Kendall wants to see you in his office."

Vaughn gulped "This can't be good" he stated before heading off in the direction of Kendall's office. He knocked on the door and entered. Kendall looked up from his paperwork.

"You wanted to see me sir?"
"Yes Agent Vaughn. Did you approach Devlin requesting permission for Irina Derevko to visit her daughter?"

"Yes sir, I did but…."

"After I denied the request" Kendall interrupted raising his voice.

"Yes Sir"

"Why?"

"I did it for Syd, Agent Bristow, she wants to see her mother, it's the least we can do."

"Well Devlin approved the request. However, he has conditions. These are that she is be escorted to and from the hospital by myself and a team of agents and that she is at no time be left unsupervised."

"When is this visit taking place?"
"Tomorrow afternoon."

"Would you mind if I went and told Derevko myself?"
"Be my guest, that women infuriates me and I have work to do."

Vaughn left Kendall's office quickly and headed off to Irina's cell.

Irina looked up curiously at the window when she heard the sound of the bars rising and falling. She hadn't had any visitors since her last fight with Kendall. Vaughn came into view and she got up off the bed and walked over to the window. "Hello" she said staring at him.

"I came to tell you Devlin approved my request for you to visit Sydney in hospital. Your going tomorrow afternoon. Devlin has conditions though, Kendall and a team of agents will be escorting you and you are at no time to be left unsupervised."

A smile spread across her face "Thank you Agent Vaughn. You didn't have to do that for me and I appreciate it."

"I didn't do it for you" he said coldly "I did it for Sydney, she's upset and wants to see you. I love her and I'd do anything for her."

"Thank you."

Vaughn didn't reply he turned and left.

A/N: what did ya think?? I'll try and update ASAP but I put 2 chapters up in case it's awhile. I have a general idea for the next chapter and I'll write it as soon as I finish reading 'First they killed my Father' for English. It's really depressing.L. Sorry it's so short, it was 4 pages of my handwriting. The next chapter will be longer. I promise. Anyways please review. Lol Alyce.
