Authors Notes: Thanx to all u people's who reviewed the first chapter. I will try and update as often as possible but I have got an english SAC on the 26th and I did bad on my practise SAC cos I didn't prepare. I really wanna do better on this one so I won't have much time to write. I also have a maths SAC in the next week or so and that one goes for a couple of weeks. On top of all of that I got heaps of VET work to do, so I'm pretty swamped. I also gotta go to Canberra in a couple of weeks for MRI's and I might not get a chance to post more before then. I wanna try and update A Not So Simple Life, as well. Ok I've babbled on and complained about having heaps to do already so, without further ado, heres chapter 2!!!!!

Chapter 2:

Vaughn walked through the door of their apartment that night and after throwing his keys on the table he yelled out a loud greeting to his fiancé. "Honey, I'm home!" he bellowed. An angry Syd came rushing down the hall "Sshh. I just got Amanda to sleep." He apologised and moved towards Sydney. Vaughn took her in his arms and hugged her tightly. He kissed the top of her head and she looked up into his eyes. "Hey" she said softly "I missed you."

"Missed you too." She snuggled closer to his body and they stood there for a few moments. Sydney unwrapped her arms from around his strong body and walked into the kitchen, with Vaughn following close behind. She bent down to pull his dinner from the oven and picking up the hot plate up she slid it onto the bench. He looked at her curiously "I already ate" she said "I got hungry." He lowered himself into a chair and began to eat. Sydney bought over a drink for him and sat opposite him at the table. Vaughn looked over at his fiancé as he ate. He smiled at her "Your so beautiful." She laughed his comment off and shyly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. At that particular moment she didn't feel so beautiful. Her face was still kinda puffy after having the baby and her skin was pasty and dry. Her eyes had big circles underneath them and loose skin hung off her normally small frame. She had put on a lot of weight during her pregnancy and was finding it hard to regain her former shape. The two of them sat there chatting about their respective days. Sydney had had a hell of a day with Amanda. She had kept Sydney and Vaughn up half the night and then cried most of the day. When Sydney finally got her to sleep in the afternoon, a door-to-door salesman disturbed both Sydney and Amanda, since then Sydney hadn't had much luck in getting Amanda to sleep. Vaughn rattled on about his day and how much he missed having her at work. She frowned when he mentioned that Kendall was planning to send Vaughn on a mission in a week after his cast had been removed. "Can't someone else go?" she complained.

"I already tried that, Kendall pretty much said that I don't have a choice."

"Who else is going?"

"Lauren and Weiss."

"Please tell me you aren't on point."

"Weiss is on comms, Lauren and I are on point. Believe me I complained about that as well."

They lapsed into a comfortable silence and Sydney absentmindly twirled a strand of hair around her finger. Vaughn finished eating and took his plate to the sink. He came back to the table and pulled Sydney up from her chair. He wrapped his arms around her and began to rock her back and forth gently. "I love you Syd."
"I love you too Vaughn." She looked up into his deep green eyes and smiled before placing a soft, heated kiss on his lips. He responded and pulled her closer to his body.

They were distracted by a loud cry and reluctantly they broke apart. Sydney was about to head up to Amanda's room when Vaughn stopped her, "I'll take care of her, you sit and I'll be back." He kissed her forehead before going up the hall to see his daughter. Vaughn walked through the door and into the room, which had been painted a soft purple colour. He went over to the cot that housed his tiny daughter and carefully picked her up. She stopped crying almost instantly. He sat down on the rocking chair that stood in one corner of the room and began to rock back and forth gently, singing softly to Amanda, wanting to make sure she was asleep before he put her back to bed. After ten minutes he gently laid his daughter back in her bed and watched her sleep for a moment before heading back out to see Syd.

Vaughn came back out to the lounge room and found Sydney asleep on the couch, snoring softly. He went up to their room and pulled back the covers on their bed. Vaughn went back down the hall and picked Sydney up from the couch, carrying her to the bedroom. He laid her upon the bed and covered her with the doona. He was about to turn off the lights and leave when he heard her speak "Vaughn?"

"Yeah Syd, what's wrong?"
"Can you hold me?"

"Of course, I'll just turn the other lights off and I'll be back." True to his word he returned moments later and climbed into bed next to his fiancé, wrapping his arms around her small frame. She laid her head on his chest and she fell asleep. He lay there watching her chest rise and fall slowly.

A/N: I know it was really short, but the next chapter will be longer. I promise. Please review and let me know what you all think. Not wanting to be a pain, but I want at least five reviews before I update again. I'm not being mean, I'm just out of inspiration. LOL Alyce.
