Later that afternoon
Jack was in the gym working out. Vaughn and the rest of the guys were working out as well. The rest of their party had arrived a few hours earlier.
"Add ten more." he said placing the bar back in place and sitting up from the bench.
"Jack that would be 350lbs." Dixon said hesitating.
"I know."
"But I can't even lift that much."
"Just put the damn weights on or I'll do it myself." Jack yelled.
"Maybe you should take a breather Mr. B." Marshall suggested.
Jack looked at him angrily but took the bottle of water from him anyway.
"What's up with you Jack?" Kendall asked.
"Why do you care?"
"You helped all of us get back on good terms with our women. We want to do the same thing for you."
"Nothing is wrong with me and Irina. At least I didn't think there was."
"What happened?" Weiss asked.
At that moment Nick entered the gym. He stopped in his tracks when he saw Jack sitting on the bench.
"Come on in." Jack said motioning for him to enter.
"But you said."
"I could care less about you right now."
Nick entered and sat on the exercise bike away from the group. Jack laid back down on the bench and lifted the bar.
"Earlier when I tried to make love to Irina, she . . ." he started.
"She what?" Dixon asked.
"She got sick."
"And."
Jack put the bar back in place.
"What do you mean and? My wife got sick and puked her guts out when I tried to make love to her. That's what."
"Did she explain why?"
"No. She just kept saying sorry over and over."
"Maybe she's preggers." Marshall offered.
"I doubt it. After that damn radiation I'm as sterile as a f*king hospital."
"Speak of the devil." Kendall said pointing to their ladies entering the facility headed for the hot tub.
Jack watched Irina. The haunted look she had on her face earlier hadn't worn off completely. Once the women were settled in the hot tub the guys went to join them. Everyone but Jack got in the hot tub and snuggled up with their chosen lady. Jack reclined in one of the loungers positioned on the side. He closed his eyes. The next thing he knew he felt a pair of lips lightly caress his. He opened his eyes lazily. Irina sat next to him in the chair her hair in the sexiest sloppy ponytail he had ever seen, wearing a smile.
"Why are you over here alone?" she asked emphasizing her point by stroking his chest.
"I just needed time to myself." he said kissing her hand.
"Is this about earlier?"
"You got sick when I tried to make love to you. What was that about?"
"I had something else on my mind." she said tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Tell me. I'm you're husband. That's what I'm here for." he said sitting up and wrapping his arms around her. He kissed her temple.
"Jack I can't." she said her voice breaking.
"You can tell me anything. Irina please." he pleaded holding her tighter.
She relaxed into his grasp.
"Not now. Later I promise." she said finally.
"Ok." he said.
They rejoined the rest of the group. Jack put his arm around Irina kissing her lightly on the lips.
"Dad. Come on your kids are here." Sydney said shielding her eyes.
"I think it's sweet." Nadia said smiling at her parents.
"Sydney I didn't say anything when I caught you and Vaughn in my office."
"DAD!" Sydney reddened.
Jack laughed at his daughter's embarrassment. Katya looked over at Irina expectantly. Irina shook her head.
"Irina can I see you for a minute." Katya said hopping out of the hot tub.
Irina followed her. Once they were out of earshot Katya started.
"You haven't said anything to him about it." Katya said.
"No, I haven't. I've been trying to enjoy me vacation."
"Irina. Gerard is shipping Rambaldi's body. It should be here in two days."
"No Katya. I won't do it. I won't use Jack like that and you won't either. If I get wind of you doing anything to try and force him to resurrect anything I will kill you." Irina said her voice filled with anger. She walked away from her sister and went over to the elevator. She texted Jack.
Come on, let's finish what we started.
Jack quickly joined her in the elevator. They began making out heavily as the elevator rose floor after floor. They didn't notice when the door opened on a floor to let more occupants in.
"Mommy what are they doing?" the 4 year old boy staring at them asked.
They broke apart ashamed. Jack smiled weakly at the boy's mother. She looked over at him in disgust. When she noticed his erection straining against his swim trunks she looked away flustered. It was the longest elevator ride in Jack's life.

Meanwhile
Katya snuck away from the group to make a phone call.
"Plan B." she said.
"Dammit. I was hoping it wouldn't come to that." Gerard Cuvee said on the other line.
Once Katya hung up she breathed heavily. She didn't want her sister to die.
