Chapter 13:
Later that afternoon Sydney was dozing when a big bunch of flowers was thrust in front of her face. She looked up and saw Will standing there. "Will" she cried as she tried to sit up to hug him.
"Woah Syd, the Doctor said not to move too much, anyway you can hug me when your outta this hell hole. When do you go home anyway?"
"A few weeks yet."
"WEEKS."
"That's what I said. I gotta have some physio and stuff, cos they said I would've lost most of my balance after being in bed for like three weeks."
"True" he said before glancing over at the table beside her bed "What are these?" he asked pointing at the cards from SD-6.
"Cards from SD-6. Dad brought them in."
"What did he tell them at SD-6 anyway, I mean he can't tell them the truth can he?"
"He told them I was mugged and shot and that they couldn't come and see me, only family can visit."
"A tangled web of lies then, huh."
"Yep, isn't my whole life a lie, I mean I couldn't even tell Vaughn I was pregnant with his child. It kills me to see him hurting. I hate it."
"You were pregnant?"
"Uh yeah, I had a miscarriage."
"I'm so sorry Syd."
"Its ok, I'm dealing."
"If you need to talk…"
"Thanks Will." They sat there talking for an hour or so before Weiss showed up with a giant teddy bear for her. She laughed when he came in with it but he soon joined in on her and Will's conversation. Sydney was distracted though and kept looking at the door. Weiss told her as gently as possible that Vaughn told him he wasn't coming in to see her. She didn't say anything more about it she just continued to joke and laugh with Will and Weiss til the small hours of the morning.
Sydney slept most of the next day and when she woke up she was surprised to see her father sitting next to her. He'd brought her some flowers to brighten up her room a bit. Jack didn't stay long, their conversation was awkward so Jack left citing that he had some reports to write and he practically ran out of the room. Once again Sydney was alone. Shortly after the Jack left the Doctor came into see her. He told her that she would defiantly be taken off all the machines in the next day or so but now he wanted to take her for x-rays, scans and a couple of other tests. Two orderlies came into the room to take Sydney for the tests. When she returned a couple of hours later Vaughn was sitting in the chair in her room. The orderlies wheeled Sydney back into her room and she was surprised to see him sitting there. He stood up as they slid her bed into place and made a move to hug her but she turned her body away. He sat down again confused by her actions. He was about to say something when she began to speak "Vaughn, why are you here?" she asked.
"What do you mean, why am I here? I love you and I want to be here with you."
"But yesterday you said that you couldn't be near me because it hurt. Yeah it hurts you, I understand that but have you ever thought about what it does to me not having you here, it kills me knowing that the man I love doesn't want to be near me. You were never meant to know about the baby, I knew that I couldn't keep it, not while SD-6 is around, they would have killed me and you without hesitation. You think that I don't get that it hurts you, but I'm willing to bet that I'm hurting a million times more than you, I lost my baby and I nearly lost my life. Do you even know what that feels like?" she questioned tears in her eyes.
"Your right I don't understand. I know that we couldn't have kept the baby but it would have been nice to have been informed of it existence. You think that your hurting a million times worse than me, you might be right but don't you presume to know how I'm feeling because you don't, just like I can't presume to know how your feeling, I think that your just being a little drama queen because you didn't get your own way, your spoilt, that's your problem, the whole world revolves around Sydney Bristow, you don't even see how everyone else is feeling, your too self absorbed" he replied angrily.
"Get out" she screamed "Get out of my sight Vaughn."
"Syd I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"I said, get out of my sight, you fucking arsehole, how dare you speak to me like that, I'd expect that from Kendall but I never ever thought you'd speak to me like that. Get out before I strangle you" she said coldly as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Syd I'm sorry" he said sincerely. It didn't help though.
"Get out of my sight or I swear I will kill you. I don't want to see you right now" he didn't move "Just fucking get out of my room!!" she yelled. Vaughn finally obliged and left Sydney shaking uncontrollably as she tried to stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks. Her Doctor had heard the commotion in Sydney's room and came in just in time to see Vaughn leaving quickly and a very upset Sydney with her head in her hands crying. He stretched his hand out to comfort her but she smacked it away "I told you to fuck off Vaughn, I don't want to see you." She looked up and saw her doctor standing there with a confused look on his face Sydney's roommate decided to put her two cents in about what had happened. "The stupid butch had a fight with that guy" she began "said she was gonna strangle him, I don't feel safe in here, could I be moved to another room?" she asked a stupid grin on her face. The Doctor chose to ignore the comment and turned to face Sydney again. "He called me a self absorbed, spoilt, little princess. I never thought that he would say something like that to me." She began to cry again. Unsure of what to do he called in the nurse that was looking after Sydney and asked her to call one of Sydney's friends. She called Weiss and he showed up about an hour later, apparently he had been with Vaughn when the nurse called. Vaughn wasn't happy and had resolved not to see Sydney for a few days but he asked Weiss to tell Syd that he loved her. He obliged and when Weiss told her she went mental and started yelling at him. He understood though and calmly listened to her yelling. After she had finished began to sob and he pulled her into a hug. After an hour or so she fell asleep and he left after watching her sleep for a few minutes.
