They moved Irina back to her room and the APO sweepers came and cleaned up the mess. That night everyone met in the hospital's conference room so Jack could explain what happened.
"So all of that crap was so Sloane could be immortal." Weiss said.
"Yes. He was determined to steal the horizon and use it to live forever. But Mr. Sark made sure that didn't happen." Jack smiled.
"So it's over." Vaughn said.
"Hardly. If some other Rambaldi fanatic finds out about that part of the prophecy they will come after her."
"If they do we will be ready." Nadia smiled.
They all nodded. Everyone had left except for Sark and Sydney. Sark turned to walk out the door when Sydney stopped him.
"Sark." She said turning him to face her.
"Yes, Sydney."
"I wanted to say thank you. For saving my father's life."
"No problem. I'm sure he would have done the same."Sydney smiled hesitantly. He smiled back and allowed her to go out the door first.
"Sark." She turned to him, connecting their lips in a sweet kiss.
They broke apart and smiled.
"I'm sor. . ." she started, she placed a finger on her lips.
"Don't," he brought her hand to his lips and kissed it.
Thursday morning
Jack was watching Miranda sleep when he heard Irina groan. He turned to see her staring at him.
"Hey." he smiled.
"Hey." she said back.
He stood and walked over to her bedside. He sat down and brushed her hair out of her face. He leaned down and kissed her sweetly.
"I have someone who would love to meet you." Jack said rising and walking over to pick up Miranda.
He sat back down on the edge of the bed and placed her in Irina's arms.
"Meet the Bristow's newest addition to the family." Jack smiled.
"She is so beautiful. Did Dr. Lidell say if the rapid advancing in age would continue."
"It already stopped. She'll live a normal happy life."
"And the radiation."
"All gone. It just kind of disappeared once she was born." Jack said smiling.
"I love you." Irina said.
He kissed her sweetly.
"I love you too."
Miranda cooed upon hearing her father's voice. They sat that way until Miranda fell asleep.
