Hey everyone! This is my first Fan-Fic ever, well I've written 2 others but they've kinda been written as I've written this one so I've been too scared to post them but how else am I gonna get any feedback to see if I can actually write, so this is my fav out of them. Anyway I'm 16 and I live in Australia so we haven't seen S4 yet – and I DO NOT want to know anything so I will kill anyone who tells me anything...lol.

OMG! Thankyou everyone who replied, you have no idea how much it means to me to hear people encourage my writing, I'm back at skool – how hard I year 12!. Anyway thankyou again to everyone who replied, it gives me inspiration to write.

To all those reading 'Irresistible' sorry I haven't updated I'll try ASAP! I wrote the next chapter but im not happy with it so im going to try and fix it so u don't have crap chapters.

To everyone who is reading this story I am so sorry that I haven't updated in ages but cos I'm now in year 12 I don't have that much time to write. Enough of my complaining here's the chapter you've been waiting for... This is for all of you who review, I appreciate every single one of you, you guys make me feel so special!

I was just reading wat I wrote for my author notes last update and it was sooo long ago – omg! I am soo sorry guys!

Yes I am back and I know I am soooo bad with updates, well I am now in gr12 and its killing me! And I'm only in my second term! – ahhhh! Anyways I also have another story idea churning in my head – I think it'll be good if I ever get around to writing it. Lol.

And now I feel compelled to send a hello to the lovely people at channel 7 in hopes that they will put season 4 of Alias on earlier then they plan to (hello half way through the year! Do you really think I can keep waiting!). Plz Plz the Aussie Alias fans beg you!

Ok and if I ever go comatose again and never update – KEEP BUGGING ME! I SWEAR IF YOU DO I WILL UPDATE – NEVER QUITE BUGGING ME ABOUT UPDATING – POST MULTIPLE REVIEWS IF YOU HAVE TO – I DEFINITELY NEED PPL TO PUSH ME.

Now thankyou sooo much to those who reviewed the last chapter. I LOVE YOU GUYS! –

Aussie Agent Cat – Hey hey fellow Aussie, I promise you that some way I will include Canberra in this fic just for you.  OMG! Its been so long since I updated in ur review u mentioned stuff about an ep that was on soooo long ago. I'll try to never do that again. Yeh the family secret! Ah I want to know but I don't want to cheat and read the transcripts. A man aye! hahaha

Another Aussie Chick – yeh im back! OMG! Thankyou im blushing 

Agent Flamingo – Thankyou for your review it made me feel sooo good. I couldn't keep up them missing each other coz then it gets old and yeh. OMG! I love your story 'Resurrecting Francie', ahh! I so want to know wat happened!

Abara – Thankyou! So sweet. Yay a Queenslander! Go the Maroons! Lol (I'm NRL mad!) I love reading about places I know and have been to as well, yes our spelling is definitely superior! He he well you'll have to keep reading to find out if it does all work out.

Daisyduke947 – Yes I couldn't believe I got another 2 chapters up either!

Dolphingurl1 – I would flip too! Im very argumentative or stubborn which ever way you want to put it!

Chickiee-dee – I made your day! Ok picking myself off the floor now. OMG! U think im a great writer – OMG! Im like the one in awe of you! OMG! You just made MY day! And after my absence I caught up on ur fics – one word for you – AWESOME! OMG totally still buzzing!

Texasalias – Thankyou! Glad you like it 

Ms. Vaughn – Thanks! Im glad you like all of the little bits that tie the story together. The reason she didn't find Syd's cover more suspicious is because no one knows she is a spy so unless her parents enemies are trying to get her she is pretty much safe, so like Vaughn and Jack she doesn't expect someone to get so close to her and betray her – if that makes sense.

Sacharissa – The Gold Coast has its perks but yeh ultimately there's so much crap that goes on here – but its just more advertised. Crap and stuff like that goes on everywhere – the Gold Coast is just more forward about it. Im guessing you go to a Catholic school? Well yeh Christian schools and catholic schools are a bit different but yeh same general gist. Im really hating school at the moment though 

Z – OMG! So stoked you like my story! Still stoked cos you like that its set in OZ – so very happy ppl like Australia!

MelE – OMG! OMG! OMG! This is the BEST fanfic you've ever read? OMG! Once again picking myself off the ground OMG I am soooo stoked – just OMG! I cannot believe ppl like my writing and my stories so much – it's the best shock EVER! OMG! Thankyou sooo much! Yes Alias is my fav show ever its just the best! More Aussies need to support it!

Fernanda – AHHH! One of the best three! You are the greatest for saying that! OMG! Of course ill continue – how can I not when im getting reviews like that!

Claire – Thanyou! You love it! OMG! Yay! – Oh and your email address is kewl!

Becca – Thanks for your review!

Freitazal – You've read it several times! OMG! I cannot believe my story has that affect on everyone! I've had to pick myself off the ground more times then I can count after reading all these reviews – yours knocked me off again!

Lec – You love the story! OMG! Im soooo stoked that you love it – I swear I should just stay on the floor!

Luckylass – Off the chair once again! Lol. Im glad you love it! Well I'd love to email you wen I update (however scarce it is lol) but im soooo busy that I barely have time to write so if u become a member of (don't worry u don't have to write if u don't want to) anyway u can get email updates wen I review and it can keep track of all of your favourites and everything – its worth it 

Oh and all of you who are reading - you have to read Apartment 7 by Soccerfreeek324 - i am an original character in her fic and she is an awesome awesome writer especially for a 14 year old! Her other fic Close Encounters is really good too.

Ok this chapter is shorter than the others but I had to finish it there.

Chapter 7

"Knock, Knock" Vaughn said as he opened the door to Roxy's room ever so slightly

"What do you want?" Roxy replied her voice dripping with disdain.

"I think we need to talk"

"I heard everything after I left"

"Roxy, we all thought that Syd died in a house fire about 4 years ago but 2 years later she came back, she didn't remember anything about what happened in those 2 years. When she came back I was already married to Lauren"

"Stupid Icy British Bi…"

"Ah language Rox, anyway I didn't know what to do, I stayed with Lauren, anyway Syd after a few months of being back, she left again this time she left a note, I tried everything to find her, everything, nothing turned up. She had found out that she had had kids while she was missing, so she went and got them and started a new life, I never gave up trying, this was my first holiday since the night she left. I was stupid Rox," Vaughn said struggling to keep it together "I loved her but I was too stupid to realise it, I wasn't brave enough to step away from Lauren until it was way too late. Roxy you don't understand how long I've loved her, it was over an entire year before we even got together"

"Why?"

"Protocol" he said bitterly "the day I met her I lived my life for her, and I want to continue that, I want to keep that promise I made to myself to keep her safe and love her forever and I want to extend it to our children too"

"Why? How can a lawyer and a teacher have to stay apart because of protocol? And how could you think that she was dead, it's pretty clear cut, even if she was burnt too badly to recognise her, they can use DNA to work it out" Roxy said angrily, that was how they identified her parents.

"Roxy, there were many people who didn't want Syd and I together"

"Stop, I don't want to hear these lies anymore, Kristen, Sydney, whatever her name is has been lying to me since the day we met, not a single word she has said to me has been true, I love you Uncle Mike but I don't know if I can trust you or anyone for a long time." She slowed down in an attempt to control herself, "I have been hurt too many times"

"I understand, but I have never set out to lie to you, why would I?"

"Why did you tell me that Sydney died in a house fire then?"

"Because I thought she did, we all did, even ask Weiss he thought so too, it was confirmed by authorities, no one not even Syd herself knows what happened to her." Vaughn was struggling to relay this information without indicating his role in the US Government. "She was missing for two years and she doesn't remember a thing about it, then one day she just turned up thinking it was only about a day since the last time we were together, during that time I had married Lauren and I had to deal with that affecting Syd's return, I didn't do a very good job though, as you know she left and here we are"

"Mike you asked her to move in with us, you didn't even consult me, why?"

Vaughn frowned "I really didn't think it would be a problem, you've told me so many times how much you love her and just yesterday you were wondering how you would live without her, she'd be living with us, she'd be a mother to you"

"A replacement, Mike, I want to stay here"

"But you can't, you need a legal guardian"

"You didn't let me finish, I want to board at my school, I've already boarded there sometimes when Mum and Dad used to go away, I'll just board there permanently now"

"Is that really what you want, you were excited about moving to LA" Vaughn said concern evident on his face

"I don't really know what I want anymore, I need to think about this, boarding is just a practical way for us to live, I won't be a burden on you or Kri…Sydney, if she does move away with you and if she does you'll have enough to deal with with the twins. I would just get in the way"

Vaughn grimaced he knew this feeling all to well, when his father had died he had for awhile felt like he didn't fit in anymore, that his father was the only one that had understood him and when his father was gone he had felt all alone. "Rox, how could you ever think that, you're my family, basically my only family and I love you, you're my niece, your like a daughter to me, why would you think that you would be in the way. I wouldn't feel whole unless you were with us, that is if Syd comes back, I haven't felt whole since she left, I need you both."

Roxy was fighting back tears, "Uncle Mike, you are my only family and I love you but you don't understand what I am going through"

"Rox, I understand completely what your going through, I guess Eliza never told you much about your grandfather did she? It was always a touchy subject for her. My dad, your grandfather died when I was just 8 years old."

"So I get it you lost your dad but at least you still had your mum"

"Syd lost her mum when she was 6"

"I know she told me"

"Well we may not have lost both our parents but we both know what it feels like to think that your alone, your not alone and as long as I'm around you never will be, please just think about moving to LA with me." Vaughn slowly stood up gazing compassionately at his niece, taking a deep breath he gave her a chaste kiss on the top of her head and walked out of the room closing the door softly. Resting his head upon the closed door he shed a silent tear, keeping his head rested on the door until he felt the tear had slid down his cheek and onto his lips. He raised his head as he brushed away any signs of weakness and walked heavily away.

Roxy released the breath she had been holding when she heard Vaughn walk away, along with the breath came the tears, slowly but surely they came until she was sobbing uncontrollably.

That night the two houses were eerily quiet except for the occasional hidden sob.

The character of Roxy is based on me, I'm very very short, I cannot emphasise the shortness and yeh I act like her and stuff and I've been described as a ball of energy and I do kooky things like that and I make people laugh by apparently just being me. LOL

Plz reply! I need replies! I swear I write faster with reviews!
