Chapter 12: Angel Eyes.
Vaughn sat by Sydney's side listening to the monitors bleep and watching her chest rise and fall. She still looked pale but he was relieved that when he felt her forehead her temperature didn't feel so hot as the Doctor had said on the plane. He smiled at her. Sydney was a real fighter she'd pull through. Even if she lost the baby they still had each other and that was all that mattered. He wanted Sydney to wake up so he could see her beautiful brown eyes. About ten minutes later a nurse appeared in the room and introduced herself.
"Hello, I am nurse Demi. I have come to take some of Sydney's blood. The doctor needs to look for any signs of infection."
Vaughn smiled "I'm Michael Vaughn her fiancé." He moved to give her space to get to Sydney.
"When will she wake up?" he questioned.
"In about half an hour. Once she is awake, I'll check her vital signs and take the tube out, then Dr Meadowbrooke and Dr Groat can come and check on her. Alright?"
"That's fine. Thank you." replied Vaughn
Vaughn watched as the nurse took samples of Sydney's blood, noticing that Sydney didn't even flinch when the tip of the needle was inserted into her skin. After the nurse had finished and checked Sydney's vitals, Vaughn was left alone.

He held Sydney's hand and stroked it back and forth. He suddenly felt her hand and head move at the same time. She was waking up. Vaughn went over so he was looking at her face.
"Syd, It's Vaughn. Come on open your eyes."
Sydney eyes slowly fluttered open and she scanned the room, her eyes returning and fixing on Vaughn.
"Hey beautiful" he said, smiling at her. She tried to smile back and then noticed the ventilator tube in her mouth. She moved her hands up and struggled to pull it out. She felt as if it was choking her and she didn't like it.
"Sydney, don't try and pull it out . It's okay, it's just there to help you. The nurse will take it out in a moment." He took both her hands into his and kissed them. A concerned look appeared on her face. She wondered why she was in hospital.
"Hold on a moment. I'm just going to get the nurse." He smiled at her and left.
Shortly after Nurse Demi arrived and checked Sydney vitals.
"Looks good" she said to Vaughn, smiling.
Vaughn smiled down at Sydney to reassure her everything would be okay.
"Okay Sydney. how is the pain? 1 is bad and 10 is good."
Sydney held up four fingers and two thumbs.
"Six. That's good then. The morphine and antibiotics must be doing their job. Why don't I remove your tube, okay?"
Sydney made an okay sign. The nurse told Sydney to blow after she had counted to three. Once the tube was out Vaughn gave Sydney some ice chips as her throat was sore.
"Don't try and talk if your throat is too sore. I'll leave you two in peace and I'll call for the other Doctors to come up shortly." The nurse smiled and left.
Vaughn didn't know what to say now. It was Sydney who spoke first though.
"Vaughn….what…what happened to me? The last thing I remember is being with Slone. SLONE where is he!" she cried.
"Calm down, Syd. Your Dad and Dixon have Slone at a safe house. Do you remember feeling unwell?"
Sydney nodded.
"Well you had appendicitis and it slightly ruptured causing slight bleeding. The Surgeon also found out that you…er…Sydney I'm going to be a Father!"
"A Father…What do you mean? I'm pregnant!" cried Sydney.
"Yes you are. Two months but…due to the rupturing of your appendix an infection have might spread to your blood stream and you may have to have an abortion."
"I had appendicitis and I am pregnant! Oh God!" Sydney tried to get her head around all that was happening.
"Vaughn, I love you….please….please don't let me loose the baby" Sydney started to cry and Vaughn pulled her close to him for support.
"At least you're here with me. That's all that matters at the moment. I love you so much, your beautiful brown eyes, your infectious dimples, everything. I don't want to be anywhere but here right now, being in your arms is lovely."
Sydney and Vaughn hugged for a while longer until her tears subsided and the two doctors came in.
