Chapter 18
Night. Of. Passion. 3 words that I never thought I hear coming out of my Aunt's Mouth in relation to my Dad. But now they have, but where can you move on to after these have been said. No one thinks of their parents like that, let alone one with another relative.
"What! Dad please explain what is going on. Is it true what Katya has said?"
"Um, Sydney. I'm not sure how to say this, actually I can't."
"Sydney, seeing your father can't say I can. Yes me and Jack had sex. It happened when Nadia came into your lives. And we both used it as revenge against Irina."
"Dad, Mom. What is going on? Dad please say you didn't sleep with her especially for revenge!"
"Honey, one thing you need to know. I'm not a monk, I have needs. This happened when I started to slip into a low point. Irina's affair, Nadia, all that. I needed someone to be with and perhaps in the back of my mind it was a type of revenge."
"Is that all I am to you Jack! An Inconvience, A problem!" Nadia screamed to him
"Nadia, when you first turned up, yes I was shocked. But your part of the family now. I consider you as my daughter as well. And I hope you may consider me a father figure."
"I do, Sloane may be my biological father. But you have been more than one than he had ever been. Who else apart from Mom and Syd, that I can talk about my problems. I just never thought you consider yourself like that in regards to me."
"You see baby. No matter what, you are much as part of this family as Sydney. And my sweetheart Sydney, I have know about your father and your Aunt for a long time. And I've accepted it, you must do as well. "
"Mom, I'm not sure if I can."
"Sydney, just give a chance. Irina turned to face her sisters. "Katya, please stop these Snide comments, I know there meant to split us. But know this you may be my sisters but my children will always come first."
"Rina, I apologise for her behaviour, I understand what saying, that your family comes first." Yelena spoke out.
"Thank you Lena. But it may be to little to late in terms of are family being together. You are the mature one, and you will rationally talk things through. But you Katya, you act like a teenager, snide comments, unappreciated gestures. If you could only act your age instead of a 18 year old."
"Rina, I can only try, but there has to be give and take on both sides." Katya said agreeing.
"Sydney, Nadia. Can you try it? Just for a while. Just to find some resemblance of peace."
"I'll try" Nadia said.
"Sydney?"
"I'll try. But with one proviso of my own. Laura is kept out of this. That Yelena and Katya are kept out of her life to I see fit."
"Fine" Yelena and Katya both agreed.
"Well Everybody. That was a good start."
