Chapter 21: Going home
After Sydney and Vaughn had said their goodbyes and thank you's to the hospital staff they went to board their plane. Sydney was excited to be leaving as she had been so fed up lying in a hospital bed for so long. Vaughn had helped her into the car, as she was a little wobbly on her feet. She hadn't used her feet in ages so she leant on Vaughn for support. They made it to the plane and took their seats. Sydney was sitting by the window and outside she could see a wonderful view of snow-covered mountains.
"Isn't it beautiful" Sydney commented, pointing outside.
"It is but not as beautiful as you" Vaughn replied, placing kisses down Sydney's neck. She giggled and Vaughn began to tickle her.
"Stop it" She said between giggles "Ow!" she winced as Vaughn had tickled her too hard.
Vaughn stopped "I'm sorry. Are you alright?"
Sydney nodded "I'll be fine. Don't worry"
Sydney snuggled into her seat.
"I wonder what the film will be. I hope its 'Coyote Ugly'"
"Syd you've like seen that what 10 times already" Vaughn replied.
Sydney swatted Vaughn's arm "Shut up you. It's the best film ever. It's excellent."
"What ever you say," Vaughn replied and Sydney grinned.
She pulled Vaughn into a kiss as the plane began to take off. Vaughn and Sydney linked arms as the plane soared off into the sky.

Sydney was staving when the in-flight food arrived. Maybe it was because she was eating for two she thought. The food was sausage and mash which Sydney finished way before Vaughn did.
"You enjoy that?" Vaughn asked, taking a slip of his coffee.
"Very much. I'm sure Alex did to"
"Alex?" Vaughn looked confused.
"Our baby. I think it's going to be a girl and I want it to be called Alex if it is"
"Well if it is we'll call her Alex but if it's a little boy let's call it Joseph."
"Okay. I love that name too."
After they had finished eating the film came on and the two of them watched the film for the rest of the flight

Sydney and Vaughn made their way back to his apartment where Donavan greeted them.
"Hey Donnie!" Vaughn cried as he patted his dog.
Sydney bent down and cooed over the dog that was now rolling on the floor wanting his tummy stoked.
"He's grown" Sydney stated, "I can't remember the last time I saw him looking this big."
"Yeah it's all the food the neighbours feed him while I'm away. They spoil him with lots of treats. I'm amazed his body doesn't drag along the floor when he walks."
Sydney laughed, "That would be a funny sight"
"So" Vaughn said, "Do you want something to drink?"
"Sure" Sydney replied, as she got comfortable on the sofa.
Vaughn returned a few minutes later with glasses of 'diet coke with lemon' Vaughn sat down and snuggled next to Sydney, draping his arm around her neck.
"When shall we move my stuff" Sydney asked.
"I was thinking of phoning Weiss soon and ask him to help move your stuff into my apartment. You can stay here and relax and Weiss and I can unload your things into here."
"I'll help out"
"Sydney it's okay. I'll" Sydney cut him off.
"I don't care if you want me to relax. I can help and I will" Sydney shouted, "You don't need to wrap me up in cotton wall. I had my appendix out, Michael and apparently you don't need it anyway so I will help"
Vaughn could see the anger in Sydney eyes. He guessed it was her hormones playing up. Suddenly Sydney began to sob.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for shouting."
Vaughn caressed her cheek "Don't you apologise about anything. It's not your fault. The reason you're like this is because you're going to have a baby. I don't care if you get all moody because in the end we'll have a beautiful son or daughter and that's all that matters."
Vaughn wiped the tears away from Sydney's cheeks and she cheered up a little.
"Can we sit here a little longer before moving my things? I want to stay in your embrace for ever."
"Sure honey. What ever you want"
Sydney snuggled into Vaughn's embrace letting the love radiate between them.
