It is late at night (or rather early in the morning) and I felt in quite a shipper smut mood! This is the last really sweet piece for a while. Vaughn leaves next chapter (sniffle), but rest assured we will follow where ever he goes!
Thanks to Agent Flamingo (I have a feeling Liam will be making a reappearance. I had fun writing him, so I hope I can fit him in later! Update Raising Francie soon please! It is one of my favs at the moment!), Ren201 (Thanx for the supportive review. You gotta love long words!), Lily, tine (you won't need tissues this chapter, but defiantly next one), alllieee (Oh only to have Vaughn say "My Cate...." I hear you mate! Update A Question of Fate soon pretty please!), supergirl14, angryapplepie (I don't know if Liam is to be used for good or evil yet, I'll keep you posted!), total vaughn lover (as if I would let anything come between our favorite two agents!), nattie700 (sounds like you are having your won little party! Can I come? Hehe!), and vaughnbear (Thanks for the flowers!! My old ones were dying!). You guys are all amazing!

Chapter 13: Simple things
Sydney rolled over lazily, enjoying the comforting feeling of warm blankets against her bare skin. She turned and found Vaughn already awake, a slight grin on his face as she discovered him starring.
"Hey" she muttered.
"Hi" he replied, creeping over and placing a soft kiss on her lips.
Sydney grinned and wriggled so she was lying in his arms. They lay there, stupidly grinning at each other for several minutes before Sydney buried her head in the crook of his neck.
"Someday I'm going to take you away to somewhere where no one can find us" Vaughn whispered in her ear.
"Agent Vaughn, you of all people should know that it would be almost impossible"
"I have seen the best do it for years. Don't you think I have picked up something by now about staying under the radar?" Vaughn teased.
"Where would we go?" Sydney asked, propping her head on his chest
"Santa Barbara. Ever been?"
"Yeah, I love it. The zoo... that giraffe with the crooked neck" Sydney replied, a childish grin on her face.
"No, I mean the beach, the Brookmoor, the food" Vaughn replied, humor playing in his eyes.
"Sounds wonderful"
'When I get back"
Sydney grinned. "Promise?"
"I promise" Vaughn agreed and the sealed their bargain with a kiss.
"Well, I don't believe in 'somedays' any way" Sydney replied, resettling her chin in her arms.
"What do you mean?"
"Someday never seems to come"
"That's a bit pessimistic"
"Okay, let's recap my life. I was going to quit the CIA when "someday" I brought down SD-6. "Someday" I was going to capture Sloane and make him pay for what he did for me"
"Yeah" Vaughn said thoughtfully as he rolled over, pushing Sydney onto her back beneath him. "But our someday came, didn't it?"
Sydney grinned as he began to brush the hairs away from her face. "Yeah, it did"
"So I just proved your whole theory wrong"
"No, you found an exception to the rule"
Vaughn laughed. "Sorry, I forgot. Sydney Bristow is never wrong"
"I think you are finally starting to understand" Sydney teased as Vaughn placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Someday this mission will be over" Vaughn stated with conviction. "Someday I'll come home. Someday we will go to Santa Barbara where, someday, we will have a wonderful time. Together" he finished simply.
"I knew there was a reason I loved you" Sydney muttered as she wound her arms around his neck.
"You mean there is only one?" he replied with a smirk.
And they spent the rest of the morning in bed, whispering in the way only lovers can.
Like? Hate? I don't care – just review and let me know! The more reviews, the quicker I post the next one (Oh dear, I'm stooping to bribery!). Cate
