Unraveling Truths
Chapter 9
Sydney was ready to become Mrs. Michael Vaughn. She had waited for so
long for this day to come. Everything was prefect: she had her dress, the
ring, and her vows. The only thing was she wished she didn't have get
married while hiding from her mother. She wished her life was just
normal at the moment.

She wished that she wasn't a CIA agent missing two years of her life that she
desperately wanted to remember, and that her mother wasn't an
international terrorist, and that she wasn't a KGB agent. She just
wished she was Laura Bristow, loving mother.

Sydney was standing in her full-length mirror in her wedding dress
when she heard a soft knock on the door.

"Come in."

Jack entered and was in awe of how beautiful Sydney looked. His little
girl was finally getting happiness in her life.

"Sydney you look beautiful. Vaughn will be speechless. You look like an angel."

"Thanks daddy."

Jack came up and turned Sydney around to see her face. He noticed her
eyes looked hollow and had tears brimming about ready to fall.

"Sydney angel tell me what's wrong. This is suppose to be the happiest
day of your life."

"It is Dad, but I just wish my life were normal. I wish there never
was an SD-6, no KGB, no missing two years. I wish my mother was normal,
that she was actually at my wedding. I wish I didn't have to get
married while in hiding from her. Most of all I wish she just really
truly loved me."

"Sydney, I know you don't understand your mother's motives, and in truth
neither do I, but that's just who she is. She has her own agenda, she always
has and always will, but we cannot let it control our lives or ruin
this beautiful day."

"I know."

"Sydney what you need to know is that even with out your mother Vaughn
and I love you and we promise to always be here for you no matter
what."

"I know you are and I love you for that."

"Sydney, let's go it's about time to start. Are you ready?"

"More then anything."

Jack and Sydney were ready to walk down the path. She looked beautiful
in her strapless white dress with diamond necklace and silver high
heels. She locked eyes with Vaughn and everything hurt in the world
just melted away. All she saw was the love of her life and guardian
angel.

As they reached where Vaughn was standing Jack handed Sydney off to
him and turned to Vaughn.

"Michael, take care of her."

"I always will, Jack, with my life."

She wasn't aware of anything around her besides Vaughn, and before she
knew it he began to recite his vows.

"Sydney, you are the most important person in my life, and I never
thought I could love anyone the way I love you. When you were
missing, I nearly died, and part of me went missing too. I'm so
thankful you were brought back to me, because now I'm complete again.
And I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

"Vaughn, your love for me was the only way I made it back to you and
through the horrible ordeal your love is the only way I can deal with
the pain. And now with your love I will make it through all this and I
will love you until God takes me from this planet."

They exchanged rings that they both picked out for each other. It seemed
like forever till the Minster pronounced them husband and wife. When
the time finally came Vaughn kissed Sydney in a slow sweet kiss and
their souls and hearts where bound for all time as Mr. And Mrs.
Michael Vaughn.
