Disclaimers note: Mobile phone Calls and outside viewing
Vaughn stood outside the hospital and dialled Jack's phone number. He placed the mobile phone to his ear, waiting for a ring.
"Jack Bristow speaking" he heard after a couple of rings.
"Jack it's Vaughn. How are you?"
"Vaughn good to hear from you. I am very well. How is Sydney doing?"
"She's is much better now. The Doctor found out she had appendicitis."
"That's good to hear she's better. Can I speak with her?"
"She's asleep at the moment as she's just had her morphine and antibiotics upped. I'll tell her you called. I think she misses you Jack. She woke up on the plane calling out your name."
"I can't come and visit right now. I have brought Slone back to the C.I.A. I shall be there when he is questioned tomorrow."
"I also have some other news." Vaughn said
"Go on, Vaughn"
"Sydney and I are going to have a baby"
"Sydney's pregnant!?"
"Yes she is" replied Vaughn
"Congratulations. Really I am very happy for you two. You take good care of my daughter and her baby."
"I will. She nearly lost it due to her appendix possibly giving out infection but she's okay now."
"That's great Vaughn" Jack was smiling.
"Another thing. Our wedding is next Tuesday and Sydney can't leave the hospital. We have decided to get married here. Would you be able to phone around her friends, people at the C.I.A to come to 'Bleak Hospital' on that Tuesday afternoon."
"I will do Vaughn. See you then. Goodbye"
"Bye" replied Vaughn.

It was the next morning and Sydney was sitting in bed with a cup of soup in one hand.
"Hey" Vaughn said, as he came in from just having his breakfast.
"Hey Yourself"
"How are you?" He placed a firm kiss on her forehead and backed away smiling.
"Not too bad. My abdomen is still a little sore, but much better. This soup is kind of nice actually," she replied taking another sip.
"You were asleep last night when I came in so I couldn't tell you that I phoned your Dad"
"Good. Thank you" replied Sydney.
"He is arranging for everyone to come to the wedding on Tuesday afternoon. I spoke to the Doctor about it and she said that was fine."
Sydney smiled, her dimples showing. She placed her cup on the nightstand.
"I'm bored sitting here all day. Can't we go outside for a while? It's such a lovely day."
"Yeah sure, Honey. I'll go and ask the nurse if that's okay."
Vaughn made he way outside and quickly caught the attention of Nurse Demi who followed him inside.
"Good morning Sydney. How are you feeling today"
"I'm much better, thank you" she replied
"That's good to hear. Mr Vaughn hear tells me he wishes to take you outside for a while. I don't see why not. I'll check your vitals and then I'll get you a wheel chair so you can go outside. If you start to feel sick for any reason I want you to come back in here. Okay?"
"I will" Sydney said.
The Nurse moved over and checked Sydney vitals and blood pressure.
"Well the good news is your blood pressure is back to normal which is good." she spoke, writing the information down on Sydney's chart.
"I'll go and get a wheel chair and Mr Vaughn here can take you outside"
She hurried off and soon returned with a wheel chair. Vaughn and the Nurse helped Sydney into it and Vaughn wheeled Sydney outside.

Sydney and Vaughn sat outside in the garden looking at the moutons. For Sydney, it was good to be outside. She'd felt cooped up inside the hospital all the time.
"It's good to be outside" Sydney said. "It was so boring being cooped up all day in the hospital."
"I'm sure it is, Honey." Vaughn sat with Sydney and embraced her into a warm hug.
"Do you know that when I found you in the building, unconscious I thought you would never wake up."
"I guess God listened to your prayers then?" Asked Sydney.
"Yep, sure did. I am so glad you didn't die because I wouldn't be able to hug the most beautiful woman in the world"
"Hold that thought" Sydney suddenly cut in, making retching sounds. Vaughn pulled away, his worry lines appearing once again. He remembered the morning sickness: She was having it again. He rubbed her back as she began to throw up onto the floor.
"Morning sickness" she said, grumbling to herself. "I hate…" she was cut off by another wave of nausea.
"It's okay Syd. I'll pass soon and in a couple of months you won't be sick anymore" He rubbed her back until her heaves ceased.
"Sorry" she mumbled, shyly.
"It's okay Syd. You don't have to apologise. All woman go through this patch"
Sydney looked up.
"Can we go back inside now. I'm suddenly really tired and my abdomen hurts from being sick and sitting this way"
"Sure." Vaughn replied, wheeling Sydney backside.
Before they had reached Sydney's room, however she was fast asleep in the wheelchair.
