A/N – I finally have gotten back to fanfic. I had a while where I would do bits and pieces and then stop but I am now back in full swing of my fantasy world and am glad!!!

Sydney was shocked. Her daughter? "What do you mean?" Vaughn asked as he stared at Sydney's guilty look with anger.

"When I left. I was pregnant. Vaughn, I meant to tell you it's just that every time I thought about it, I wondered if you and Lauren were trying for children and that lead on to how much you loved an miss her and… we soooo shouldn't be having this conversation here and now."

"I'm sorry to put this upon you; it's just that you will probably want to see her and I thought that while everyone is out in Germany, my best agents could go on a family mission as quickly as possible and before you resist, I've already booked the plane tickets and you know how the CIA doesn't like to waste money!"

Sydney looked at Vaughn and he looked back at Constance. She shrugged and they all went out of the office. Dixon sat on the chair and put his feet up for a change before the phone began to ring with news from Germany.

Jack and Sydney both looked deep in thought as Connie and Vaughn approached them. The receiving Bristow's glanced up and smiled. They left their seats and followed each person. Constance sat down and awaited Jacks speech.

"Constance. I've been thinking about what we should do and the only conclusion I came to was the discontinuation of our relationship from here onwards." He said coldly.

"That's what I came to tell you. I think that my professional status and job are both being affected by my personal life. I have been missing meetings and letting up on missions due to the time I've spent thinking about you and the time I've spent with you at work trying to sort things out." She lied.

"You really don't love me any more?" Jack asked noticing she had adopted his usual flat tone.

"Jack it's because I love you that I can do this. My feelings for you are the things that keep me going. I'll never stop loving you but for now I can pretend."

"I don't know how this is going to work but I'll try too." The gazed into each others eyes and Jack swallowed. It was then that he realised that this was going to be harder than he thought.

Meanwhile, Sydney and Vaughn were sitting in silence still.

Vaughn was the first to collect his courage and speak to her.

"Syd, there are so many things I want to know. Like when you found out, why you kept it from me and how you know its mine."

"Vaughn are you questioning my faithfulness?"

"It was two years ago and we don't even know if you were yourself. All the evidence seems to suggest that you think you were some Julia Thorne person and you have no idea what you did."

"Well the memory I had doesn't seem to be able to lie and it proved that the chi… Laura is yours."

"Laura… Laura. Its kinda pretty when you ignore the obvious connotations. So what are we gonna do when we get her back? Am I going to be able to have visitation rights to her or what?"

"Visitation? I thought you loved me Vaughn. I was thinking that we could give it another go… as a family."

"I'm sorry Syd but I'll have to think about it for a few days. You see, I think I have feelings for someone else but I don't know if its fear for her safety like a brother or fear of being without her."

"So you think you love Constance?"

"What? Where did you get that from? I never said any names."

"Its obvious Vaughn. Look, just think about your real feelings and make up your mind. I'll not wait forever."

In the next room, Jack and Constance prepared for landing and Sydney along with Vaughn came to sit with them.

There was a limo waiting for them when they got off the plane and luckily they all fit in. Upon arrival, they looked at the huge summery house that awaited them. It was mainly white washed with ivy creeping up the side wall. The garden was immaculate and the pool was steaming. Sydney and her father were the first to exit the limo and enter the house. Irina greeted them with a hug for Sydney and a kiss for jack. Her tongue crept into his mouth and he could do nothing to stop. All eyes were on Constance as she was the last one to enter the house. She looked at the couple and walked past them. Jack pulled away and looked at Connie.

"Damn it Irina what the hell was that?" He fumed as she smirked in his direction while carefully greeting Vaughn and Weiss.

"A welcoming gesture. I was just trying to make you feel at home."

"Well there was no need. I do not wish to be at home here. I do not wish for you to kiss me now where is my granddaughter?"

"Our granddaughter is sleeping. Who was that woman who swept through to the gardens a few minutes ago?"

Weiss stepped in. "She's another agent. She was feeling a bit car sick and must have gone for some fresh air." He glared at Jack and stepped out into the gardens after her.

She was sitting on a bench hunched over onto her hands.

"Connie?" She looked up while wiping her face.

"I'm fine. I just need to be alone Eric."

"But aren't you and jack getting married? Why didn't you say something?"

"Jack and I split up this afternoon on the aeroplane. We decided that it would be best for us both." She sniffed.

"What you mean is that he said something about cooling off and you went on to exaggerate it to make him feel bad."

She nodded. "I told him that that's what I had been thinking too."

"You didn't mean it?"

"Of course not. I love him and we need him."

"We…?"

"The universal we… like we at the agency or we at… in…"

"Or we as in you and your baby?"

"Am I that transparent?"

"Yup. Now come on hun and let's work on winning back our man."

"Our?"

"The universal sense!"

A/N – do you think they should get back together or should jack and Irina rekindle their love? Should Vaughn be with Sydney and laura? Please r&r and let me know!
