Chapter 5
She sat by his bedside. He had been unconscious for the last hour or so and he’d broken his arm in three places from having the door impacted on it. He had a concussion too, that’s why he was still unconscious. She had hit her head on the dashboard by the crash, and had to have stitches in her forehead, but otherwise, she was ok. A phrase had come to her after she hit her head. She’d have to ask Vaughn about it when he woke up.

His eyes fluttered open. Damn, it was bright, and his left arm really hurt. He looked over to the right to see Sydney sleeping with her head resting by their intertwined fingers.
“Sydney” he whispered. Her eyes fluttered open.
“Vaughn. God, it’s about time you wake up.” He chuckled.
“Sorry.” He said. “What happened?”
“Well, after the crash, you passed out. I called CIA dispatch on your cell, and they brought us here. How are you feeling?”
“My arm hurts like hell, but otherwise, I’m ok.”
“Yeah, you broke it in three places.”
He winced. “Ouch. How are you? Did you get hurt?” She pointed to her head, where the stitches were. “I got stitches from hitting my head on the dash, but otherwise, I’m ok.”
At that moment, Jack Bristow and a doctor walked in.
“Mr. Vaughn. You’re awake, good. How do you feel?” the Doctor inquired.
“My arm hurts a bit.” They all looked at him. “Ok, a lot.”
“You broke it in three places. You’re going to have to keep that cast on for a few weeks.” The doctor said. Then turning to Sydney “Mrs. Vaughn, How does your head feel?” she smiled slightly. She would probably never get used to being called ‘Mrs. Vaughn’. It felt good.
“I’m ok.”
“Well, alright. I will go get you’re discharge papers, Mr. Vaughn, and you can go home.”
“Thanks Doctor.” Jack, Sydney and Vaughn all said at the same time.
Jack turned to the couple.
“Sydney told me about you being followed.” Jack explained to Vaughn. “Did you get a look inside the car before it crashed into you?”
“No, it was too dark.” Vaughn answered.
“I think it was a warning.” Sydney said. Her husband and father turned to her.
“What? They are probably afraid I’ll remember something that they don’t want me to remember.”
“You’ve got a point.” Jack said.
“But if that’s true, then why hit my side of the car?” Vaughn asked.
“Maybe they thought that by trying to kill my husband, they would scare me off?”
Vaughn smiled. “No, I don’t think so. Sloane should know by now that he can’t just scare you off.”
Jack turned back and forth between the bickering pair. “God, you two.” They turned to him.
“Sydney, its like you never left.” He explained. “You two used to bicker like this all the time, In the five months before you disappeared. It drove everybody crazy.”
Sydney laughed. “Well, whatever the reason they tried to kill us, it just makes me more determined to find Sloane and my mother, and kick their asses.”
“That’s the Sydney I know and love.” Vaughn said.
“Thanks Vaughn” she leaned over to kiss him.
At that point, a nurse walked in with Vaughn’s papers.
“Just sign these, and you can go.”

A half an hour later, Sydney guided Vaughn through the front door, and to the couch. They both plopped down simultaneously.
“Vaughn, while you were unconscious, a phrase came to me. I was wondering if maybe you could tell me what it means.”
“Sure, What is it.”
“You have my heart, Forever and Always.”
He looked at her. “At our reception, during the first dance.” He hesitated “You whispered it in my ear.” He whispered.
She was quiet for a minute, then leaned over and kissed him deeply on the lips.
“I love you, so much Vaughn” she said.
“I love you, too.”
They were silent for a moment, and then Sydney spoke up.
“You know, when the doctor called me ‘Mrs. Vaughn’, It felt so…. right. Vaughn, I want you to know that I don’t remember getting married, or your proposal, but…” she trailed off.
Vaughn looked at her, and using his right arm, lifted her chin up so he could look in her eyes.
“I know, Syd. I know,” he whispered, then he kissed her. After they broke apart, she snuggled closely to him.
After a few minutes, Sydney bounced off the couch abruptly, startling Vaughn, and went over to the C.D. player sitting in the corner. She turned it on and went back over to Vaughn who was looking at her curiously. She held out her hand.
“Dance with me.” She said simply, pulling him up by his right hand. He wrapped his right arm around her waist, and being careful for his left arm, she wrapped her arms around his neck. She leaned in close to his ear.
“You have my heart, forever and always.”
