Chapter 15: The nightmare and the teddy bear.
Dr Meadbowbrooke entered the room and smiled at Sydney and then to Vaughn who was perched on the chair beside Sydney's bed.
"I hear you've made use of the hospital gardening equipment." she said laughing.
"I just had to grab the nearest thing and the plant pot was in reach" Sydney admitted, sheepishly.
"It's okay, just funny. Anyway the nurse also told me about the food situation. Unfortunately you won't be able to have solid food yet but soup will have to do until then. I'll get some for you this lunch time and see how you do with that. I'm going to check your blood pressure. It was pretty low on the plane. If it's still low, hopefully some fluids inside of you will increase it."
Sydney stuck out her arm and the Doctor took her blood pressure.
"Okay it is a little under normal but it's not serious so you're going to gave to take lots of fluids to stop it rising any higher. Drink plenty of water but not too much if you feel sick. You get some rest now and I'll come back at lunch time to see you."
"Thank you, Doctor" Sydney said.
"Do you want to go back to sleep?" Asked Vaughn, once the Doctor had exited the room.
"Yeah I'm really tired. Being sick and pregnant has really exhausted me. Do you mind?"
"Not at all, Syd. You get better. I'm going to have a look around the town. I'll be back before lunch"
Sydney nodded and Vaughn placed a kiss on her forehead.

Vaughn felt happy not to be cooped up in the hospital. He wondered how Sydney must feel being stuck in a bed all day and not moving anywhere. Not even to the toilet! Bulgaria was a lovely place thought Vaughn. Amongst the small village were large mountains with snow covered tops. He passed a few shops selling pets and accessories. One shop was selling baby clothes and toys and he had a look inside. There in the window was a really cute fluffy green teddy bear. Perfect he thought. The baby would love it. He knew the baby would survive. After another half an hour and a bite to eat he headed back to the hospital

*"Look who came back, the infamous Sydney Bristow."
"What do you want Slone?"
"I want you and that baby dead!"
Sydney brought her hands to her stomach in a protective manner.
"You'll never see daylight again and the baby will be dead too!" Shouted Slone
"Noooooo! Please, please Noooooo!"*
Sydney screamed plentifully as tears rolled down her cheeks. Before she could move out the way however, Slone plummeted a knife into her abdomen and she screamed out in pain.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
Sydney woke up in a panic and rolled off the bed, hitting the floor just as Vaughn came in. He rushed to her side rolling her over.
"Syd!, it's Vaughn. I'm here"
She was clutching her abdomen and struggling to breathe.
"Sydney what's happening. God Syd don't die. Talk to me, please?"
Sydney suddenly let out a groan and looked up, her eyes now fixed on his.
"Vaughn?" she asked
"Yeah Sweetie it's me."
Just then the Doctor appeared,
"What happened here?" she asked, dashing to Sydney side.
"When I got here she fell out of bed. I think she's in pain and she can't breathe right"
The doctor grabbed a oxygen mask and placed it over Sydney's nose and mouth. Then with the help of Vaughn got her back, securely into bed.
"Congratulations Sydney! You just had a muscle spasm!"
"A what!? Do I get like an award or something for doing that?" She rasped
The Doctor laughed "I'm afraid you don't and you just had a muscle spasm. It's because you just pulled your abdomen to much. I'll up your morphine for the pain. When you feel you can breathe okay take the mask off. You probably don't feel like eating after that. I'll leave you to alone for a while and come back with some food. Don't try that trick for a while."
"I won't but it's so boring just laying here all day" Sydney whined
"I know it is, Sydney but I'd rather see you get better than be in lots of pain trying to walk around. Later I'm going to do an ultrasound on you to see how your abdomen looks and whether the baby is alright." The Doctor smiled and left.
Vaughn was again alone with Sydney and he watched her still taking a few deep breaths until her breathing evened out and she took the mask off.
"Is your breathing better now?" he questioned, concern stamped into his eyes.
"Much. That was pretty scary that spasm and the nightmare…." she replied
"Do you want to talk about it, the nightmare that is?"
"Slone was there and he, he stabbed me and I died and lost the baby. He's not going to do that, is he?"
"Of course not, Syd. Don't worry I'm here and nothing will stand in my way. Let's forget about evil Slone. Anyway I got you something whilst I was out, well not really for you." He pulled the green teddy out of his bag "I didn't know whether our bundle of joy would be a girl or boy so I got a green one with a star on it's tummy. What do you think, cute eh?"
"Oh Vaughn!" Sydney wrapped her arms around Vaughn's neck and hugged him tightly. "You're are so thoughtful and caring. I really don't want to loose the baby. You make me feel so happy when I'm around you and I love that to bits."
"I love that too. I'm so happy you like the teddy and I can't wait to show it to the baby."
Tears were ebbing the eyes of Vaughn and Sydney's.

The Dr Meadbowbrooke came back later and was relieved to see Sydney looking better than she had earlier. Sydney had a smile across her face and was hugging the teddy bear.
"Awwwww the teddy's cute. Where did it come from?" she asked.
"Vaughn got it for me. Isn't he great!" she cried.
"He's a wonderful fiancé to you Sydney. You should be very proud to have such a caring person like him." Sydney smiled deeply to Vaughn and he smiled back.
The Doctor passed Sydney a cup of soup. "Here you are. I want you to try and drink as much as you can, if you start to feel sick just let me or Vaughn know and I'll give you some anti nausea medicine in your IV. The fluids should increase your blood pressure. Surgeon Groat has been analysing the blood test results but unfortunately has been called away to Surgery so I'll have to tell you the results…." she paused.
Both Vaughn and Sydney held there breaths waiting for an answer….
