When I Met My Father
By Emily Carol
Summary: Vaughn left Lauren for Syd and not being able to stay around them anymore she packed up and moved across the country. Little did Vaughn know, but Lauren was pregnant with their child. Its fourteen years later and Melodie Reed has ended up in the CIA at age fourteen as a young trainee. What will happen when she runs into the father she'd always been told was dead and the woman that made him leave her mother?
Rating: PG-13 probably, the prologue has most to do with the rating, that and I like to be safe with my rating, plus there's some language issues.
Disclaimer: I do not own Alias, I'd love too, but I don't because if I did Lauren would have died during one of the shootings, I mean, she's been in a lot of episodes and there's shootings in them, yet she goes unharmed, what kind of cruel, cruel, world is this?
Author's Note: This story mainly focuses on Melodie but will have some Syd and Vaughn in it probably.
I'm tell you right now, go ahead and tell me you hate my writing if you want. And seriously, please give me constructive criticism (or even flames) because this is only my second Alias fic and my first one was really bad and remains at the SD-1 boards unfinished.
Thanks to all of you that reviewed!
EVERYONE: I just wanted to thank all of you for reading this story. I know I'm a horrible updater and I'm not even the greatest writer here, no where near it. But I love writing (and Alias of course!) and thanks to all of you for supporting me and giving me encouragement.
Also, I've finally got my writing website up and the link is in my profile. There's not much there in the way of Alias right now but the two fics there right now are not posted here.

Chapter 8
Sydney slipped into the hospital waiting room silently and sat down next to Vaughn.
"Dixon shouldn't have put her up to that," he said to Sydney staring straight a head. "Now I feel like it's all my fault, like I'm responsible for a child that's not even mine. That I barely even knew."
Sydney felt she should say something. She should tell him that Melodie was his daughter. His and Lauren's. But as she opened her mouth to speak he began to talk again.
"Who's her family anyway? Her mother works in another part of the country for NSC. I know that. But who is she really? Who is Melodie Reed?" Vaughn's hands caught his face and he just sat there in the silence.
Sydney didn't know how to tell him. She just looked at him. He had enough grief thinking he was responsible for the almost death of another person's daughter. Would it just make him work to know that it wasn't just someone else's daughter? That she was also his daughter?
The thoughts swirled around in her head. It was now or never. The phrase kept entering her thoughts. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth.
And then the door to the waiting room burst open and Lauren Reed rushed in. Her blonde hair was a mess and dark circles lined her eyes due to lack of sleep.
"Where's Melodie?" She asked frantically looking around the room, her eyes not focusing on Sydney or Vaughn enough to realize who they were. "Where's my daughter? What did you do to her? Why the hell is she here?"
"You're daughter?" Vaughn stood up. Lauren stopped to look at him. "What do you mean by 'your daughter'?"
"Micheal?" She asked. "No, you can't be here. You're not supposed to be near her." Lauren started to pace again. "I should have made it specific. She can't come near you. She has grown up her whole life believing that her father is dead and of course they send her off to work with you. Damn it all! Just damn it!" Lauren reached out to punch the wall but Vaughn caught her arm.
"What do you mean by she think's her father is dead? Who the hell is her father," Vaughn's voice came out menicing as he stared Lauren right in the eyes.
"She thinks you're dead," Lauren spat out. "You might as well have been. She never would have known you anyway. It just made it easier. Besides, you were too busy with her," Lauren's head twitched in Sydney's direction.
"Maybe if I'd known I'd had a daughter, then maybe I'd have been involved in her life. Maybe I would have known her. At the very least I could talk to her on the phone and have her with me over the summer. But no, you had to keep her to yourself."
"Like you ever would have done that. You got married weeks after our divorce. You probably would have had your own children with her, where would Melodie have fit in?"
"I would have made room. She would have gotten to know her half-brothers and -sisters. She has a half-sister only a year younger than her for God's sake. Why wouldn't you let me get to know her?"
Lauren opened her mouth to speak but the door where they had wheeled Melodie in earlier, and through which Dixon had entered recently, opened and Dixon came out. "You three can go in to see her," he said as if he knew of the fight that had just taken place.
Lauren barrled her way through the door and Vaughn waited for Sydney.
"You go," Sydney said. "I'll stay here with Dixon. She's your daughter, not mine."
Vaughn's eyes seemed to plead with her but Sydney stood her ground and Vaughn continued through the door without her.

Author's Note: So there's the great, Lauren/Vaughn confrontation. Sorry if it sucked.
I hope you liked it! Please review, even if it's completely negative, I won't take it personally unless it's about ME and not my writing (e.g. 'You're gay', just insult my writing, not me).
Thanks for reading!
