Undeniable Love ch. 4

Summary: Irina and Jack have had their differences, but when they locked in an elevator together, what will happen?

A/N: Still taking votes on who Syd should be with. So far Weiss is winning so if you don't want him to end up with Syd say so. It will be a little while though. Jack and Irina still have a while to go in that elevator.

Irina sat down on one end of the elevator and Jack sat down across from her.

"So you wanted to know about the passenger Jack?"

"Yes. She's yours and Sloane's child as I have found out."

"Well Jack I am related to her, but I'm not her mother."

"What do you mean Irina?"

"I mean that I am not her mother Jack. I am her aunt."

"But Arvin said that-"

"And since when did you start believing Arvin Sloane?"

"If you're not the mother, then who is?"

"I can't tell you that Jack. Just know that she's not mine."

"And why can't you tell me? Because truth takes time?"

"No asshole, it's because I don't want you to go looking for her. That's why."

Jack sighed. If he was going to be stuck in an elevator with Irina Derevko for who knows how long, it would be wise not to get her angry.

"I'm sorry Irina. About that and for what I said at the restaurant."

"You should be."

"You look really beautiful in that dress."

"I know."

As silence came over the elevator Jack thought to himself that this would be a perfect time to bring up her affair with Arvin. If she was going to talk about it, now would be the time.

"Irina?"

"What?"

"I want to know about your affair with Arvin."

"You want to know about my affair with Arvin?"

"Yes."

"Well, I can describe it in four words. I never had one."

"What?"

"I said I never had one. I never had and I never will. He disgusts me, and the thought of us together makes me want to puke up whatever I have in my stomach."

"He probably told Barnett he had an affair with you so that I would hate you."

" Oh that's grand Jack. First you're listening to Sloane and now that blonde ditz who calls herself a doctor? Seriously Jack, I think you need help."

"Like you don't."

"I never said I didn't. All I said was that you're listening to two people who lost it a long time ago. I on the other hand listen to other terrorists, there's a big difference there."

"Irina, you amaze me with your logic."

"Don't try to steer the topic off of affairs Jack. Now you know that I never had one. But you on the other hand did have one. With my sister. You traded one Derevko for another."

"I would never trade you Irina. I had just been told that you had an affair during our marriage, and I felt that sleeping with your sister was a good way to get back at you."

"Well it worked Jack. I hope you're happy."

"You know what Irina, I refuse to take full responsibility for it. If you had been there it wouldn't have happened. If you would say something other than truth takes time and told me that you never had an affair it wouldn't have happened. If you hadn't walked out on me for a second time, it wouldn't have happened!"

"I see Jack. So what you're saying is that I drove you to sleep with my sister."

"It's complicated. All I'm saying is that if you were with me, it wouldn't have happened. I would've slept with you. If you had let me."

"It only happened once right?"

"Yes."

"And it will never happen again right?"

"Never."

"Did you enjoy it?"

"Honestly. The only reason I enjoyed it was because I pretended it was you."

"Why did you pretend it was me?"

"Irina, we haven't had sex in a very long time. I had just been put through solitary for a year where I couldn't even think about sex. Because if I did, I couldn't get rid of it. And it's very painful to have a hard on thinking about you and I couldn't even do anything about it."

"That doesn't really answer my question."

"I thought about you because I wanted it to be you."

"You did?"

"I always want it to be you. It's just that my country wants it to be anybody but you."

"I guess I can forgive you for that, if you can forgive me for walking out on you for the second time."

"How does even compare to you walking out on me? Again?"

"I walked out on you because you were nowhere near bringing Sloane down and I knew that if I was on the inside, it would go a lot faster. Which would mean that Sydney would be out of the CIA faster. You slept with my sister because you thought I had an imaginary affair with weasel boy."

"Okay, so we're even then. You walking out on me and me sleeping with Katya."

"Just don't bring up either again and we'll be fine."

"Okay."

"Can I ask you a question Jack?"

"Sure."

"How did you feel when they told you I had an "affair"?"

A/N: We'll leave it at that for tonight. I guess I could also ask you readers to help me pick out the mother of the passenger. So who do you think it should be? Katya, Yelena, or a new character? Maybe another sister? Or even a brother?
