Chapter 28: Sleeping with 'Superman'

Sydney and Vaughn walked to the nearest safe house. Once inside Sydney seated herself in the chair. Vaughn sat in other one and held her hand.

"Syd what do you mean no it won't? You're safe now. Nothing can hurt you."

Tears formed in Sydney's eyes.

"I got kicked."

"Kicked? By Slone?" Vaughn looked confused.

"Yeah he kicked me in the stomach. What if he hurt the baby!?" Sydney burst into tears.

Vaughn pulled her into a hug.

"Shhh Syd Shhh. It's okay. Shhh."

Sydney quieted down.

"Michael what if he's harmed the baby? I don't want to loose it."

Vaughn looked at Sydney.

"Can I take a look?" He asked her.

"Okay." She replied, lifting up her top.

Vaughn traced his finger along a dark bruise that was on Sydney's stomach.

"Wow he did kick you hard. Did he do anything else to you?"

"Apart from electroshock. God did that hurt!"

"Are you suffering any effects from it?" Vaughn asked her, worried.

"I've stopped shuddering now." Sydney replied.

"That's good. I'm going to call out a medic to make sure you and the baby are okay. Alright honey?"

"Thanks Michael."

Vaughn kissed Sydney on the forehead.

Sydney lay on the bed as the CIA medic placed gel on her stomach. She was really worried Slone had really hurt her. He didn't seem to have kicked her that hard but it had really hurt. A picture of the baby appeared of the screen. Sydney winced as the wand moved across her sore stomach.

"Sorry." The medic said. "It looks as if the baby's in perfect health though. As for you I'm going to place some ice packs on your stomach to reduce the swelling. You'll be good as new in no time."

Sydney smiled and Vaughn let out the breath he was holding.

"Thanks." Sydney said, showing her dimples "I'm glad the baby is unharmed. I was so worried."

"That's okay. It's good to be on the safe side. You get some rest. If you have anymore problems just call your Doctor. Okay?"

"I will." The medic smiled and left the safe house.

"I'm so glad the baby is okay." Vaughn said to Sydney

"Me to. I hope nothing bad happens to us ever again."

"I sorry I wasn't there to protect you. Slone shot me with a tranquilliser dart." Vaughn said.

"That's okay. I'm glad you could save me though."

"Vaughn to the rescue!" Vaughn shouted

Sydney smiled, her dimples showing.

"I like that. You were like my 'Superman'" Vaughn smiled

"If only you could fly…." Sydney expression turned to a thoughtful one.

She suddenly yawned.

"I'm going to take a nap. Will you lay beside me and keep me company?"

"Of course I will honey."

Vaughn got comfortable on the bed next to Sydney. He turned over facing her and stared into her beautiful brown eyes.

"I love you Sydney with all my heart and soul. I'll love your forever and ever. I'll never stop loving you. You are such a beautiful woman pregnant or not."

"I love you too Michael. I want to spend every minute of the days with you, always"

"I hope you sleep well." Vaughn said, kissing Sydney on the lips.

"I'm sure I will Night." Sydney replied

"Night Sydney I'll be here if you need me, okay?"

"Okay. Thanks Michael."

Sydney drifted off to sleep.
