WOW thanks for all the reviews! Just a few things I like to mention here: Syd will have the baby very soon, I am really sorry about killing Weiss but it comes into play later in the story, the general is not Sark and Vaughn's father, the count was and the general gained control of the sect when the count died, don't get me wrong I love Weiss a lot, one of my favorite characters and I will be mad if JJ kill him off. Just to let you know the chapters get darker form here on out…I teared when I wrote the final chapter

Also I finished the story and will continue to post two chapters each day…I am debating writing a sequel starring the baby but would like your input on it before start writing on it.

Oh I need to put a little disclaimer up

Disclaimer: I do not own RENT. I own the cds and I own electric blue tights but that's it. The titles from chapters 11-til the end are all RENT lyrics, which I seriously recommend you go see, it becomes a movie on November 23 in the states.

Chapter Eleven: I'll Cover You

Sydney was bored. They had been keeping for her for about a month and Vaughn left her alone every day when he went to do work. They had shown her a gym that she could use that was off her room but she didn't want to over exercise and hurt the baby. Mainly she read all day. But apparently the sect's idea of good literature was Rambaldi prophesies.

Cursing under her breath at the close mindedness of her captors she scanned the bookshelf looking for something to read. She was surprised when she saw a new book on the shelf. She took it down and read the title. "Alice in Wonderland". Vaughn must have put it for her. Smiling she curled up on the chair and began to read.

He looked so tired when he came to her at nights. They let him spend every night with her; she could only assume it was because he was dying in a few weeks. But he always seemed so hopeless when he first walked in the room. However he always smiled when he saw her. Sydney walked over to him and lightly kissed him hoping to cheer him up. "Thank you for the book" she said smiling up at him.

When they were together they always pretended they were at home together, that she wasn't a captive, that he wasn't go to die in a few weeks, that there were no cameras recording their every move and conversation. They played the game of normalcy, because if they didn't they would go insane form pain. But she wasn't in the mood tonight for normalcy and she could tell he wasn't either

"This sucks Vaughn"

"I know baby, but it's either this or they kill you."

"How are we going to get out of this mess?"

"We're not, I am going to die and you are going to be set free."

"That's decidedly pessimistic."

"Well that way we don't get our hopes up. It is painful already without adding the illusion that we are going to escape"

"I don't want to lose you"

"Baby it's for the best"

"I hate it when you patronize me"

"How is that patronizing?"

"Why can't I sacrifice my life for you?"

"Because you have already have so many times Sydney. I would not have been standing here if it wasn't for you. And our baby is going to need you."

"A child needs two parents."

"That's not an option we have."

"Vaughn—

Sydney cut herself off. This was not a time to be arguing. They weren't enemies. Breathing deeply Sydney sat down on the bed. Vaughn joined her and wrapped his arms around her. "No matter what happens, Sydney, I will always be with you, in our child and your heart. I will always be there protecting you, I will always be your guardian angel." he whispered into her ear.

yes this chapter was short but it was the best place to put that conversation
