Title: I'm Back
Summary: In the episode S.O.S/ Maternal Instinct, instead of Irina being inside Sydney's house, what if someone else more important to her was there
CHAPTER ONE - FINALLY
Sydney was confused on just about everything in her life at the current moment. She had no idea on why Prophet Five would try to save her baby instead of killing it. Why did they kidnap her in the first place? What was the Horizon and why was it so important to them? Did she really waddle? She chucked slightly, Dixon always knew how to put a smile on her face no matter the circumstances, but he wasn't the only one. She missed Vaughn more than she could've imaged. She now knew how he felt when she had disappeared for those two years. The only thing that kept her moving was the baby.
She was about to go to her bedroom to start packing when she saw him. Her heart began to race with excitement and she ran up to him and gave him the biggest hug she had ever given someone
"Vaughn!" she began "What are you doing here, it's not safe for you yet"
"I know, but I heard what happened to you and I couldn't stay there knowing you were in danger" He said to her while caressing her face, "I've missed you so much"
"If they find out your alive they are really going to kill you this time"
Flashback
Before getting out of the car, they went over the plan
"So you have the bullet vest on right" She didn't like what was going to happen, but they had no other choice
"Yes and if or when they shoot the pouches will explode looking like I have been really shot"
"I don't like this Vaughn"
"I know, but my main priority is making sure that the baby is fine"
" I just need to know how you feel. Is it something you want?" she was afraid that Vaughn didn't really want the baby
"The truth?" he asked
"Of course"
"What we do, the things we see every day . . . honestly, no. I . . . I didn't think this was what I wanted. I mean, bringing a baby into this world that's so messed up. I just ... I just assumed that I'd wait, that we'd wait." He wanted to be completely honest with her
"For ...?" she had to admit she was afraid that he didn't really want the baby and if he didn't, what would she do?
"For things to ... be safe, or at least safer. But looking at you, all I can think about is what our kid is gonna be like. And I ... I'm not worried about the world. I just, I can't wait to meet this new little person." She simply looked at him and gave him a small kiss
"I'm going to be fine, don't worry" he said, comforting her
"I know"
With that he got out of the car and the mission was in motion
End of Flashback
"Don't worry, As long as we're together everything is going to be fine"
"I love you" she had missed saying that to him so much
"I love you too"
He leaned into a kiss, the kiss was one of longing and wanting, very similar to their first kiss amidst of the rubble of SD-6. After they broke apart, he put his hand on her ever growing belly.
"So how's our little one doing?"
"She's doing great" His eyes widened at the word she
"We're having a girl?"
"Yep, she's due anytime now"
"You have a glow, your more beautiful than ever" She blushed
"Dixon says that I'm waddling"
"It's more of a graceful waddle than anything else" he said to her
"Thank you, but your daughter Isabelle is quite a kicker"
"If she's my daughter she better be, but I'm hoping for more for a hockey player"
Flashback
"I always liked the name Owen" she suggested
"Owen, sounds like something you would name a gerbil"
"Clementine is cute"
"For a fruit"
"It's also a name"
"It's also a campfire song" She felt like they were going no where with the name process and she wanted to get his opinion before the extraction
"Okay, you don't like that one. How about Isabelle?"
"Isabelle Vaughn. Isabelle Bristow Vaughn"
"That's pretty, I like it"
"Me too"
Not too soon after that Vaughn "crashed and was declared dead." After that she knew it would be at least a year before they were reunited again
End
"I should call my dad and tell him you're here"
"Ok"
Sydney dialed her father phone number and after three rings he picked up
"Bristow"
"Hi dad"
"Sydney, is everything alright" After their recent scare Jack had every reason to be worried for his daughter
"No dad, everything is fine. I just wanted to ask you if you could pick up some more penne, we're running low"
"Uh, sure thing, I'll make sure stop and get some, take care" Understanding exactly what she meant
"Thanks"
With that they hung up the phone and Sydney turned to a bewildered Vaughn
"Code Phrase?" He asked. He had remembered all the code phrases the Sydney and Jack had while working at SD-6
"Yea. Devlin is there right now and plus the only one that knows about what we did is Dixon, so we wanted to be safe"
"Why is Devlin there?"
"There was a mole from Prophet Five with Alpha Black clearance, my dad went to find out who it was and basically shot it out of him, along with my location. The guy was arrested but while the he was on the way to a CIA hospital, he was ambushed. They believe the leak came from APO" After saying that, Sydney looked off into the distance
"Sloane?" he asked
"That's what I'm thinking"
"I think he's like your mom, he always has an hidden agenda"
"involving Rambaldi" she finished
"Its with Sloane, so of course its with Rambaldi, but what?"
"Vaughn, what's The Horizon?"
"That's what I'd been trying to figure out for the past couple of years, all I know is that it completes their endgame"
"Just great" she sighed and collapsed onto the couch. Vaughn sat next to her and wrapped his arms around her shoulder
"Everything is going to be fine" he said reassuring
"How do you know that? Nothing good can ever happen to us"
"I beg to disagree," he pointed to her stomach " Look at what we've been blessed with"
"You're right"
"I wish I had been here for all your food cravings and morning sickness"
Sydney laughed, "Trust me, you did not want to be here for the morning sickness but I'm still having the food cravings. While I was on the ship I had a craving for sausage pizza with peanut butter on top"
Vaughn made a funny face " Do you still?" He was hoping she didn't, he didn't want to see her eat it
"No, it passed"
"Good" They both laughed, but their laugher was stopped when Jack Bristow made his presence known in the room
A/N Sorry to end there, but I didn't want to continue cause then it would've been a really long chapter.
Please review and I'll update as soon as possible!
