Connie walked back into the house and approached Irina. Holding out her hand she spoke to her rival. "Hello Ms Derevko. My name is Agent Waters. Sorry about that. I suddenly felt a bit sick."

Irina took her hand and smiled. "Its Mrs Bristow actually."

"What? I thought you signed the divorce papers?"

"My, my how much do you know about my personal life?"

"I read it on your file. That you're no longer married o Agent Bristow."

"Well technically that's correct but I know I still think of us as married. Don't you Jack?"

"No." Jack looked to Connie.

Connie looked at everyone else and waited.

Vaughn broke the silence. "Well can I see my daughter then?"

Irina beckoned them upstairs and they walked into a room. It was decorated with small yellow ducks. In a playpen in the corner, there was a small child. She had Vaughn's eyes and Sydney's hair. She was playing with some dolls and as Sydney walked in, she looked up.

All of a sudden, all of the memories of her daughter came rushing back to Sydney. She remembered the birth and giving her to her mother to look after. It all came back to her.

"Oh Laura." She rushed over to her daughter and held her in her arms.

Later that evening, everyone in their own room, Sydney was changing Laura when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" She yelled.

Vaughn walked in and pulled Sydney into his arms. She jumped and turned to face him.

"I'm sorry I doubted us Syd. I didn't mean to give up on you, on us, when I married Lauren. Please, can we do it? Can we live as a family together. I want to get to know my daughter and eventually marry her mother." He looked at her and smiled. "Connie's like a sister to me and I find myself wishing that Jack would quit being such a jerk and marry her."

Sydney smiled and jabbed him in the ribs. "Hey that's my father you're talking about there. Although I do admit he is being a jerk lately."

"Vaughn?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you just ask me to marry you while I'm up to my elbows in dirty nappies?" She gave him a mock glare.

"No. Of course not!" He smiled and kissed her softly on the lips.

"Well then I didn't say yes and then hand you said dirty nappy." She dumped it into his hands and carried on changing their daughter as he held on to her waist.

Meanwhile, down the hall, jack was in the shower thinking about what a mess he had made of things. He loved Constance but he didn't know how to admit to her what he had been doing with Sark. Both of the times he had been with that man, he had been thinking about her and both times he had thought that he couldn't have her anymore.

He got out of the shower and pulled on a dressing gown when there was a knock at his door. He got up to get it. It was Irina. She was dressed in her silk bathrobe and waltzed into his room.

"Hello Jack. It's been a long time hasn't it?" She toyed with the material around her bust. "Aren't you ever lonely?"

She untied her robe to reveal her lacy underwear.

"Because I know I could do with some company." She moved to grab his crotch.

"No Irina. I'm not lonely. In fact, I'm engaged."

Irina backed away. "Engaged? To whom?"

"That's none of your business, now can you please get dressed and get out." He had no time for her. He was trying to think of a solution to his problem. He grabbed her robe and went to give it to her. He accidentally knocked over a glass of water onto her robe.

"JACK! That's real silk." She snatched it off him and headed for the bathroom. "Just like when we were married, no respect for my things."

He sighed as another knock sounded on the door. He looked back and saw that Irina had closed the bathroom door, so he answered it.

Constance stood on the other side.

Shit.

"Hello Jack. Can I come in?"

"NO!" He blurted.

"What?" She was confused and hurt.

"What I mean is that I think we should go out. Let's go for a walk in the gardens." He tried to push them both from his room.

"Don't be silly Jack. You only have that dressing gown on." She manoeuvred herself into the room and sat on his bed when Irina came out of the bathroom in her underwear.

"There. All cleaned up like it never happened…" She saw Constance.

"Oh my… How could you?" Tears had started to form in Connie's eyes as she ran from the room.

Jack shouted after her. "Connie! Wait, it's not what you think." But she was gone.

"Shit Irina!"

"She's your fiancée?" She asked pulling on her robe.

"Yes. Oh god, I've ruined it for good now." He sank onto the bed.

"Look, if I'd have known, I'd have left you alone. I'm sorry Jack." She left the room closing the door behind her.

Constance was fed up of everything. Her life was going down the toilet and it was all thanks to Jack Bristow. She sat outside in the cold and wished she had a jacket. Suddenly, a shawl was put around her shoulders.

Irina stepped in front of her.

"I didn't sleep with him. I didn't even get to touch him. He was quite forthcoming about the fact that he loves you."

She was shocked. "He was?"

"Yes. He put me straight as I stood before him in my underwear. He's up there extremely upset. I think you should go to him." She left Constance alone to think about things.

Constance pulled the necklace out from her shirt that held the ring he had given to her,

"Connie?" Jack stepped out from behind her.

"Oh Jack, I love you." She sighed as she ran to his arms. "I'm fed up of all this crap. I just want to be together. Lets forget everything that's happened. Wipe the slate clean and begin again. Never talk about any of this and stop dwelling on things like Sark. What do you say?"

"That's the best thing you could have said." He smiled kissing her.

"How about you put this ring back on my finger?" She asked as she pulled it from around her neck.

Jack got down on one knee and pulled the ring from the chain.

"Connie, will you marry me?"

"Yes." He slipped it onto her finger.
