Chapter 3
"Actually. I'm not sure how to say this but, I had an idea that I may have been just before I left. But I blocked it out thinking that there was another reason I was late. The stress I was under as I knew I would be leaving you soon and your father. I didn't finally come to the realization of the truth until the KGB held me in Kashmir, 3 months after I faked my death."
"But how many months pregnant were you at that time?" Sydney inquired
"I was 4 months along, I only really noticed when I had a strong craving for peanut butter like when I was pregnant with you." She said with a slight smile on her face which disappeared quickly. "I was so hung up with guilt. See I didn't know who the baby's father. It could have been either of them."
"You'll telling me that you and dad was still together while this thing was going on with Sloane?" She said
"Yes" Irina said "But know this I so much wanted Jack to be the father."
"But how did you cope being pregnant when you were in Kashmir?"
"Well a few weeks after I found out, Cuvee noticed. You see I was suffering from severe morning sickness and was getting larger on prison rations. So he helped me, he slowly gave me information to help me escape, kept the guards from beating me and generally protect me"
"But why was he helping you?"
"Because he may off being KGB but he didn't want to hurt an innocent child"
"But what happened to the baby?, What happened to my sister?" Sydney inquired
"Well about a week before I had planned to escape I went into labour. You see Syd I was trying to escape to keep her safe. After she was born they took her away. They said that they would place her with a nice family. All I had to remind me was a lock of hair from her head."
"Oh God Mom. I'm So Sorry" Sydney said as she walked over to her and hugged her
Irina returning her daughter's hug went on to say "After that moment I was so dejected. I had lost both of my daughter's. I didn't care about escaping. That' when me and Cuvee decided to fight back at the KGB to make sure in the future that they didn't do the same to anyone else. So two months after that I escaped."
"What did you do after that?"
"Well I was a fugitive. With my two sister's help they managed to find me somewhere safe to go and a new alias so I could bide my time until it was safe for me to be myself. When the KGB was finished".
"I never knew you had sisters" Sydney said back
"You didn't. Well Jack knows about them. It was my oldest sister Katya who helped you escape form North Korea"
"Really?" Well he never mentioned that to me. So when the KGB fell Mom, What did you do?"
"Actually. I'm not sure how to say this but, I had an idea that I may have been just before I left. But I blocked it out thinking that there was another reason I was late.
