Chapter 3
Kiera looked up and met those green eyes and the person gasped, "Who's that?"
Sydney nervously looked from Kiera to Vaughn and back to Kiera again, her daughter, her princess, but Vaughn's daughter also.
She had a feeling Vaughn already knew exactly who Kiera was - if you looked at her you could easily tell - but he wanted to hear it from her mouth, wanted to hear that he had a daughter.
Finally she gave up, it was no use, he knew Kiera was his daughter so she might as well confirm it. Pulling Kiera towards her, she looked down into her little girl's eyes, the eyes that had haunted her for the last 5 years.
"Kiera sweetie this is your father Michael Vaughn, Vaughn this is Kiera," she introduced, "Your daughter."
Vaughn's eyes grew huge as he stared down into a pair of eyes that had run in his family for hundreds of years, and his eyes misted over when he thought of everything he had missed out on.
Sydney stepped back to watch Vaughn and Kiera's first meeting, something she had dreamed about since seeing the beautiful blonde hair and green eyes that Kiera had inherited from Vaughn.
Vaughn squatted down so he was eyelevel with Kiera, green met green, Kiera took a step towards Vaughn, and next thing he knew she was in his arms, tears running down her face, "Daddy."
Vaughn's heart contracted as he rubbed a soothing hand up and down her back, "Shh, Kiera sweetie, it's okay, Daddy's here, it's okay, quiet down."
Hearing his soothing words, the tears stopped flowing, but Kiera stayed in his arms, and he didn't mind, he was savoring the moment.
His cell phone rang and he groaned, having to pull away from Kiera, he saw it was from home again and put it back in his breast pocket as it continued to ring.
"Aren't you going to answer that?" Sydney asked curiously.
After it rang for the twelfth time, he angrily pulled it back out and answered, "What?"
"Michael where are you?" Alice asked again.
"I told you I was at the park," he growled, "I talked to you ten freakin' minutes ago."
"Michael I told you to come home right now," Alice hissed, "Why aren't you home?"
"Because I told you I didn't want to come home," he screamed, "Which means I don't want to come home - I'll be home when I feel like it."
He hung up on her once again, and shoved the phone back in his pocket. He looked up at Sydney, his eyes filled with regret and sorrow.
"Pumpkin why don't you go play on the playground while Daddy and I talk," Sydney said, "Just be sure to stay in my line of sight."
Kiera nodded as she ran off to the swings where she met a new friend and the two of them took turns pushing each other.
Sydney kept her gaze on Kiera until she was sure she would be okay, before she finally took her chocolate brown eyes and met the green ones that were identical to her daughters.
"Why did you leave Syd?" he sighed, "Why would you leave if you knew you were pregnant with *my* child?"
"First of all I didn't know I was pregnant when I left, I didn't find that out until two months later," Sydney explained, "And second of all - I found out you and Alice were still together."
His forehead wrinkled in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
"I saw the two of you," she swallowed, trying to clear the tears out of her voice and eyes, "Together - in the restaurant the night that I left. I went home, packed up all my stuff and left. Once I got to the airport, I picked a terminal number - 47 - that was to New York City, and that's where I went."
Vaughn nodded, an expression she couldn't read on his face, "What are you talking about?"
Then it clicked, that night Alice had asked him to come because she needed to talk to him, then she had thrown herself at him.
He put his head in his hands, she had left town, pregnant with his daughter because Alice, the little slut, had thought she would be able to get him back, when deep down he was so in love with Sydney and would have chosen her over Alice anyday.
"Syd..." he started, "About that."
"No," Sydney interrupted, "I don't want to hear anything, you don't need to explain, I saw what I saw. And just because you're married to Alice, I won't hold that against you - you can see Kiera anytime you want to, since she is your daughter and all. Now if you'll excuse me."
She tried to turn and head back towards where Kiera was playing, but he caught her wrist and spun her around.
"Where are you going?" he questioned.
"To get Kiera so we can get back to my parents," she hurriedly explained, "It seems like you have to get home anyways."
"Syd don't do this," he pleaded, "Don't try to walk yourself out of my life, you and I have a daughter - you are going to stay in my life no matter what you have to say. I won't let go."
Her temper rose, "You are with Alice! Got that? You married her - that is your problem. You can see Kiera, I will not keep you from your daughter, but that's it, don't make it sound like I have to be in your life - it's my choice - if I don't want anything to do with you or Alice then I don't have to."
Vaughn felt his heart hit the ground, she didn't want to have anything to do with him, but he wouldn't let his anguish show, he put on a hard shell.
"Fine," he spat, "But don't think I'm going to back out of Kiera's life - I WILL not! I grew up without a father and I will not let that happen to her."
"I never said you did," she hissed, feeling her heart shatter, she had hoped to come back and work things out with him for Kiera's sake - but so many things had changed, "Just call the house - someone will be there."
"I could just talk to you at work," he suggested.
"Just call the house," she said before she turned and walked towards Kiera, "Kiera! Come on! It's time to go home."
Kiera ran over to Sydney with a huge smile on her face, "Do we have to go mommy?"
"Sorry sweetie but we do," Sydney sadly replied.
"Well can we come back soon? Anna comes here everyday and she's sure a lot of fun to play with."
"Of course sweetheart," Sydney smiled, "Maybe Grandma can bring you up here sometime this week."
Kiera nodded and then looked behind them at her father who was sadly watching them go, "Can I go say bye to daddy?"
"Go right ahead Kiera," Sydney sighed, "Just please make it fast."
Sydney turned and watched as Kiera ran into Vaughn's arms, the two of them sharing the biggest hug, and suddenly she felt sad, she was regretting her decision to no longer be a part of Vaughn's life.
"Okay mommy, I'm ready now," Kiera told her as she ran up and grabbed Sydney's hand, "Daddy says I'll see him soon."
"You will princess," Sydney promised, "You'll never be neglected of your father. EVER."
----
Vaughn slowly walked into the house, knowing that Alice was going to come down on him and come down hard and frankly he was getting sick and tired of her.
He just wanted to go to his room, lock himself in and drown himself in some good, hard liquor.
'Why did Sydney want nothing to do in my life?' he asked himself, but he would convince her otherwise, she would be back in his life even if he had to drag her kicking and screaming, and he would do it too.
But for now he would go on being in Kiera's life, knowing that he and Sydney had a daughter together, a beautiful daughter, his little angel.
"Michael where have you been?" a very angry Alice stormed into the living room.
"At the park Alice," he spelled it out for her, treating her like she was a five-year-old, "But I already told you that BOTH times that you called me."
"You hung up on me," she hissed, poking his chest, "Who were you with Michael? Another woman? Are you cheating on me?"
"I was not with another woman," Vaughn sighed, "Just get it through your thick head."
"Who were you with Michael?" she pestered, "What's the homewrecker's name? Tell me the slut's name."
He sighed and snapped, "Fine! I was with Sydney and I found out something: I have a daughter."
