Chapter 13: Tell me where it hurts?

Vaughn held onto Sydney's hand as both Doctors entered the room. They both introduced themselves to Sydney and Sydney told them that Vaughn had told her what was wrong with her.

"Well that's good, we don't need to explain your problems. Vaughn obviously did a great job. Now let me ask: Any pain, feeling sick or dizziness?"

"My abdomen is a little sore if I move about a bit. I've got a bit of a headache for some reason but otherwise I think I'm okay."

"That's good to hear," replied Dr Meadowbrooke "Your abdomen will hurt so try not to move about too much if you can. The morphine and antibiotics should help with the pain. As for your head we think you may have hit it before passing out. Do you remember anything?"

"No. I just remember collapsing, waking up on the plane and then here."

She pulled out a penlight "I'm going to move this about and I want you to follow it with your eyes."

Sydney did as she was told, even though she felt a little silly.

"Good. No further concussion. The headache should wear off soon. I'll just take your temperature and then I shall go to let Dr Groat look at your abdominal incision." Sydney moved her head to the side as the Doctor placed the thermometer into her ear. After it had bleeped she removed it and read the reading.

"38. That's just over the normal body temperature. That's good sign. It's much better temperature than the one you had on the plane. Let's hope that doesn't spike again. I better see to my next patient. Get plenty of rest Sydney and I'll come back to see you soon."

"Thankyou" Sydney replied, smiling.

Surgeon Groat spoke "Aright let's take a look at this incision I made. Is that okay?" Sydney nodded and looked into Vaughn's eyes as the Surgeon lifted Sydney's gown up. She didn't really want to see where the incision was made even though it was only small.

Surgeon Groat moved his hands over the area and felt for any signs of ridgedness or further internal bleeding. Sydney winced a few times and she gripped Vaughn's hand tighter but she wasn't in too much discomfort.

"It looks good to me Sydney. I don't see any infection on the outside. I will talk to the nurse about the blood samples and see if she has found any infection in them. Hopefully there won't be any."

"Thanks" said Vaughn "How long is Syd going to be in here?"

"Probably for another week.. It depends on if we can stop an infection from happening or moving any further. I would hate to have to remove your baby, Sydney"

"Please…I don't want to loose it." Sydney looked worried again

"Don't worry. You and the baby are in safe hands"

+++++++++

"Sydney I'm so sorry. It was my fault making you go on that mission. I shouldn't have let you go. You were unwell."

"Vaughn it's not your fault. I should have stayed behind. I should have known I wasn't going to make it" she replied.

"Syd we both made it, you made it. I should have gone with you into Slone's room. There was just so many guards. I wouldn't know what I would do if I lost you. If you loose the baby we can always make more. I've still got my 'making love to Sydney' boxers in the draw at home."

Sydney let out a giggle, one Vaughn hadn't seen in ages.

"I can't wait!" she said. "Maybe if the baby survives she/he might have a brother or sister one day." Sydney let out a yawn.

"Your tired." said Vaughn.

"Yeah sleepy….must be the pregnancy…."

"Yep"

Sydney yawned again and closed her eyes.

"Vaughn tell me your childhood memories before I fall asleep"

"Okay. Well being born in France was really fun. I remember when I was about four or five and my Mother took me to Paris for the weekend so I could see the Eiffel Tower and go up it. I remember going up it and kept asking 'are we at the top yet?' By the time we got to the top my Mother was really annoyed with me saying that over and over again. Another time…." Vaughn stopped and looked over at Sydney. She was fast asleep, one hand over his and the other tucked securely inside her bed.
