Finally
Today was the day, October first. They both knew it. Vaughn woke up extremely early that morning. He spent the day waiting by the phone, waiting for her to call.
Sydney got up early too. She couldn't wait to see him. Part of Syd told her to call as soon as she woke up, but another part of her told her to wait. It would look a little suspicious for Vaughn to be leaving his house at five in the morning. Midday would be much better.
Noon finally rolled around and Sydney decided that it was time.
"Hello"
She cleared her throat and asked, "Joey's Pizza?"
"Sorry, wrong number," the voice on the other end sounded happy.
Now onto the warehouse. Sydney looked everywhere for bugs. She scouted the area, searching for anything suspicious. The area around the warehouse seemed to by secure. She didn't want anything to disturb their meet, especially the Covenant. All she had to do now was wait for Vaughn to arrive.
Vaughn knew that Sydney told him to wait an hour to come, but the seconds were dragging on like hours and the minutes like days. An entire hour seemed like a lifetime. After only half an hour, he couldn't take it anymore. He left his house, got in his car, and drove to the warehouse, the place where his heart would start beating again.
Sydney saw his car pull up. Of course, he didn't wait an hour like she had told him to. She should have known. Syd watched him walk into the building. She waited outside for a while. She wanted to be certain that no one had followed him to the warehouse. Sydney was determined to not reveal herself until an hour had passed. So she waited, watching him from a distance.
Vaughn was sitting on one of the crates in the corner of the room. He looked so sad. His elbows were resting on his knees and his hands were clasped together. He seemed to be waiting expectantly for her. It was finally time. Sydney took a deep breath and entered the room.
Vaughn didn't want to look up at first. He didn't want her to vanish before his eyes because she wasn't real. She had done that so many times before when he had imagined her. He wasn't strong enough for it to happen again. It had to be her.
"Vaughn" she whispered.
Why wouldn't he look up? Sydney desperately wanted to look into his emerald eyes again.
"Vaughn" why won't he look at me?
Syd fell to her knees and lifted his chin with her hands so he was forced to look at her.
Slowly his eyes meet hers. There she was his true love was back from the dead standing before him.
"Vaughn, I am so sorry."
"Sydney, is it really you?"
"Yes"
"How is it possible? The fire, the DNA . . . . "
"Vaughn, it's me. See. I'm real, I'm right here."
She took his hands and placed them in his. They fit together perfectly. They spent what seemed like an eternity just looking into each other's eyes. They could see pain in each other's eyes. For Sydney she had waited months for this moment. Vaughn had hoped and dreamed for it, but had known that it would never come true. Now that it had, they were speechless. Sydney was the one to break the moment. She tore her eyes away from his and looked down at their hands. Nine months of frustration came to the surface and tears began to fall from her beautiful brown eyes.
"I'm sorry Vaughn . . . . . I'm so sorry," she wept.
"It's okay. You have nothing to be sorry about. You're back and I'm here for you. I'll always be here for you!"
His last statement just made her cry even more. How could she tell him?
"I'm so sorry," she kept repeating.
Vaughn drew her into his arms and held onto her tight. This wasn't the Sydney Bristow he knew. Where did she go? He wondered what type of evil would take his Sydney and break her. How could they have done this? Sydney had always been so brave and ready to put her life on the line. Now she was just a lost girl with nowhere to turn. It broke his heart to see her like this. He couldn't believe the changes in his love. What had happened to her? She didn't seem like she was in the mood to tell him. Vaughn sat with her in his arms while she cried. It felt so right, her being there with him, if only she was happy. She fit perfectly with him. He wanted her to be okay. He wanted to wipe her tears away and make sure that the only ones that ever fell again would be out of joy. He never wanted to leave her side again, like that one fateful night.
He kissed the top of her head and whispered, "I love you, and I'll never leave you again."
Sydney just continued to cry. Vaughn wrapped his arms around her even tighter and tried to make all of her sorrows go away.
