Summary: It would take me two years of amnesia to realize that no matter what I did, I was the reaper.
Chapter 7
RECAP SS
"Ok." I answer, I want to know. I need to know who the father of my child is. I pray with all I have that it's Vaughn's. I don't know how I would react to finding out if it was someone else. I don't think I could handle knowing that my baby was fathered by a man I have no memory of. But it doesn't matter right now; I have to know, no matter what the consequences are.

Michael Vaughn watched as Sydney rolled over, the best she could with her broken legs, and silently cried. He watched as her muscular back tensed and released and sobs raked her body. He watched as the love of his life broke down as blow after blow was hurled at her. He wanted to help her. He wanted to step in front of the problems, be the one to take the hits, shield her, and protect her.
Kicking the sheets off his body with his legs, he rose from his bed and made his was over to Sydney's side. Sitting in a chair beside her bed he watched has the tears slid past her closed lids, down her cheeks, and stained the pillow.
"Syd..Sydney..," He didn't know what to say. Her eyes flew open. The pain in her eyes was just as evident as the tears that fell down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry." He finally managed. She didn't say anything, just closed her eyes and allowed the tears continue.
Vaughn was sorry. He was sorry with every fiber of his being. He was sorry for her disappearance, sorry for his giving up on her, everything.. And now, to top it all off, he was sorry for the baby and he was sorry for wishing it was his. He knew it couldn't be his, it was biologically impossible. But still, still he wished, by some extraordinary miracle, divine intervention even, he wished that something would make this child his.
He wondered what Sydney was thinking right then.
"Sydney, please...please talk to me." He pleaded with her, taking her hand in his. He half expected her to recoil, not to let him touch her, but instead she grabbed his hand and held it tight.
"Help me." She whispered through her tears. "Please...I...I don't know what to do."
"I know it's not ok right now.." Vaughn ventured cautiously, "And I know it wont even start being better for a while..but. But the thing is, when you came back, when I had to tell you that you where missing and that I was married, I..I knew that I still loved you." He was silent for a moment.
Sydney's eyes opened again. Vaughn had his head bent down low. She watched as he tried to gather his words, try to tell her what he was feeling, trying to give some kind of reassurance, no matter how small it was.
"I was going to propose." He said lifting his head up to look her dead in the eyes. "I was going to tell you how much I loved you, how much I love you; I was going to ask you to marry me, to be with me for the rest of our lives. I had a ring..I..I was going to put it on your finger, I was going to kiss you and we where going to live happily ever after." Vaughn admitted. He too now had tears flowing down his cheeks. "Fuck." he cursed. "I still have that ring."
"You do?" Sydney asked.
"Yes. I could never get rid of it. It was the only thing I had left, the only thing I could link to you, even if you never even saw it." He admitted. "Damn it Sydney, I love so much."
"I love you too." Sydney whispered.
Neither knew what else to do. Vaughn, leaning forward, brushed the tears from Sydney's eyes, ignoring the pain shooting through his torso, and captured Sydney's lips in his, Sydney, surprised at first, kissed back.
Neither heard the door open.
"Michael?" a teary voice called out.
