Anyways here it goes....

Chapter 1

Michael Vaughn woke up from the peaceful dream he had been having. He turned to look at the woman lying next to him and realized that reality was far better than any dream he could ever have. It still hadn't sunk in yet; Sydney Bristow was going to be his wife. He had proposed to her the night before, something, which he had wanted to do before she disappeared for two years. But he ended up asking another woman to marry him, another woman who was never Sydney and never could be. But Lauren was his past now, and all that mattered to him was Sydney and the future they had together as husband and wife.

He watched her sleep, the steady rise and fall of her chest, the content look that was spread across her face. She is the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen in my life, he thought to himself as he gently brushed a loose strand of hair away from her face. The touch of his hand on her cheek made her stir slightly, a small smile covering her face. Seeing as she was still asleep Michael decided that he would make breakfast for the two of them. Carefully getting out of the bed so as not to wake her, he put on a pair of dark blue boxers and strolled towards the kitchen.

Donovan heard him approaching and quickly made his way over to him, following him around the kitchen. "Hey boy!" He patted him on the head causing Donovan to bark. "Sshhh. We don't wanna wake Sydney up yet do we?" He asked the dog who just sat there staring up at him.

Looking out of the window Vaughn could see that it was a lovely sunny day, perfect weather for flying to Hawaii. He looked at the clock, and noted that they still had a couple of hours before they had to be at the airport. He still hadn't told Sydney that they were leaving today, he just hoped that they could both get ready in time to catch their flights.

Vaughn rummaged through the fridge searching for something that he could use to make breakfast, while Donavon watched him intently from his basket.

Sydney slowly opened her eyes, expecting to see her soon to be husband lying next to her. But the bed was empty. Feeling alone and slightly disappointed Sydney sat up in the bed wrapping the sheets around her, but there was no sign of Vaughn in the room. Sighing Syd lay back down and relived the previous night in her head.

Flashback

"We're going away?" She asked, her eyes glistening and a smile covering her face. Vaughn reached over and picked an envelope up of the dresser. He handed it to Syd who opened it quickly. Inside were two tickets to Hawaii. Sydney laughed excitedly.

"Hawaii? We're going to Hawaii?" Vaughn nodded and she threw her arms around his neck pulling him in for a kiss. "You are definitely the greatest boyfriend ever, you know that right?" She asked, their faces barely inches apart.

"So I've been told!" He laughed. "But I don't want to be just the greatest boyfriend..." Sydney raised her eyebrows wondering where he was going with this. He leaned over and picked something else up. "I'd like to give it a go at being the greatest husband, that's if you'll be my wife Syd?" Sydney's smile continued to grow.

"Are you asking me to marry you Agent Vaughn?" Sydney asked, knowing what the answer would be.

Vaughn opened up a small box, to reveal a silver ring, with a cluster of white diamonds in the middle. "Yeah I am. I love you so much Syd, I don't know what I would do without you. So, will you marry me?" He sat up in the bed, causing her to do the same.

"Yes Vaughn. Of course I'll marry you!"

End flashback

Sydney looked down at her hand and admired her ring. The diamonds sparkled drawing her attention to them. She closed her eyes again, deciding to get a couple of hours more sleep before she had to get up. However her plan was ruined by the arrival of her soon-to-be husband, who walked into the room with Donovan in tow.

"Good morning Mrs. Vaughn!" He said cheerfully as he placed the breakfast tray down on the bed and sat next to her laying form.

She smiled happily as she leant up to capture his lips with her own. "Good morning to you too!" She lay back down and took his hand in hers, gently playing with his fingers. "What do you want to do today?" She asked, looking up at him his eyes displaying the happiness that she was feeling.

"Well, we could start with the breakfast that I've made." He looked over at the tray containing two omelets and two glasses of fresh orange juice. "And then we have to pack really quickly, otherwise we might miss our flight!" The look of sheer confusion on her face was enough to make Vaughn smile, but he had to stop himself as even though she was going to be his wife, she could still kick his ass in a second.

"Wait...what?" She sat up next to him, with absolutely no idea what he was talking about.

"Hawaii! The plane leaves in 4 hours!" He brushed her hair back out of her face and gently kissed her forehead. "You still want to go right?"

"Yeah of course I do, it's just that I didn't realize that we were leaving so soon! I haven't had time to buy clothes and things that I might need..." Her confusion was replaced by panic of the thought of going away without having shopped first. I'm a spy; I should be used to going away on short notice. But this wasn't just another mission for the CIA; this was a vacation with her fiancé, her lover, her soulmate. She wanted everything to be perfect even if that meant shopping for days on end before to ensure that she had everything that she needed.

"Syd, you know that you look beautiful to me no matter what you wear. Even if it was that hideous college T-shirt you insist on wearing!" He joked, laughing as she hit his arm and pouted.

"Hey! You know how much I love that T-shirt!" Vaughn smiled as he nodded.

"If it makes you feel any better, we can shop the minute that we get there! And you never know, we might not get to see that much of the island anyways..." He raised his eyebrows suggestively at her, and tried to charm her with his smile. It usually worked on her, but this morning it didn't seem to have any affect on her.

"Vaughn, we are not going to Hawaii to spend the whole time in the hotel room." She told him only half meaning what she was saying. He tried his best to pout at her, turning on the puppy dog eyes and looking straight at her. He knew that the puppy dog eyes got her everytime, it was just a matter of waiting for her to fold.

She sighed, trying to avoid looking at him. Do not look at him! She kept telling herself. She knew that the minute she did she would do whatever he wanted. The straight face that she had been trying to keep crumbled as she started to laugh at him. "Ok. Ok. You win, just put the puppy eyes away. We can spend some time in the hotel, but just so we're clear...you are not allowed to use those eyes on me again! Got it?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck, and the puppy eyes were instantly replaced with a huge grin.
