EPILOGUE

Three years have passed since that fateful day. Three wonderful years of happiness and of the occasional arguments. The past is still being remembered but not to dwell, but to learn from it. So much has changed in their lives. And they are all for the better.

Beeping sounds seem like a crash of cymbals in his head, fully waking CIA Director Jack Bristow up. He groaned as he reached for the alarm clock to silence it. His bones and muscles creaked as he stretched in his position.

Another day. Another day to go to work.

He gently pulled his arms away from his wife's sleeping body and slowly untangled his legs from her as not to wake her up.

"Stay for a few minutes."

An arm draped across his waist and a head propped itself on his chest. "They're not going to miss you. I will."

A smile spread across his face as he wrapped his arms around Irina's shoulder. "You always miss me." He said and kissed the top of her forehead. "Happy birthday."

"Thank you." She replied and looked at him. She smiled and kissed him gently on the lips. "Where are going today again?"

"Washington."

Irina pouted and rolled on top of him. She straddled his chest and began to rain kisses on his face.

"Do you want me to stay for a few minutes or a couple of more hours?" Jack jokingly asked as he held her waist.

She laughed and kissed him deeply. Jack responded with equal fervor and started to let his hands roam on her body.

Blood started to pound in his head and he was going to pull the waistband of her pajamas when a knock on the door came.

They stopped and looked at the door.

"Come in." Irina said and rolled of Jack. She kissed him and mouthed 'later' as she covered him with the blanket.

The door opened and in came Jacob and Ana. Ana is holding a breakfast tray.

"Good mo-ning, mommy and daddy. Happy bihfday, mommy." Jacob greeted and looked at Ana then back to Irina, smiling. "A-na and me cooked bwekfast foy you." Their son is wearing a green sweater and lightweight pants, plus a pair of sneakers.

Irina beamed at her children. "Why, thank you, Jacob, Ana." Jack was also looking at them, smiling.

Jacob climbed up their bed, kissed Jack and Irina and sat in between them. "A-na helped me take a bath!" he said proudly and grinned. "But I tied up my shoes!"

"Very good." Irina said and then looked at Jack. Jacob is a very, very fast learner.

"Did you dress yourself up?" Jack asked.

His son shook his head. "Nu-uh. A-na helped." He replied and looked up to his mother. "We cooked bacon and eggs. The bacon is good." He said, his chocolate brown eyes twinkling.

Jack looked at his daughter. A smirk is set in her mouth as she placed the tray in front of her mother. "Jacob woke up so… early."

Irina smiled. "He woke you up." She stated and looked at the three year old child again. "Did you wake Ana up?"

A mischievous glint appeared in his eyes. "Yes, mommy. I woke A-na up."

"He jumped on my bed."

Jack looked at Jacob. "Didn't I tell you not to do that?" he said in mock anger. Jacob pouted and nodded his head.

"But daddy, A-na was like dead. She doesn't wake up even when you shake her."

Their parents laughed. Jack ruffled his son's hair and slipped out of the bed. "Well, my plane leaves in an hour." He gave Irina an apologetic look. "I'm sorry if the birthday dinner will be tomorrow. Washington…"

Irina just smiled. "Its okay, honey. Have a safe trip."

Ana reclined on the bed after Jack went to the bathroom. She angled her head to her mother and raised a brow. "Did we interrupt something?" she asked. Jacob is now munching on the piece of bacon that he snagged from his mother's plate.

Irina felt her cheeks redden a bit. "No, sweetie. You didn't interrupt anything." She answered and handed her son a piece of tissue to wipe his fingers.

"Are you sure? Because if you want to follow dad to the bathroom…"

"Ana." Irina hissed. Her daughter laughed and sat up.

"Hey Jake." She said. Her brother looked at her. "Do you want to come with me and walk Damascus?" Ana asked, referring to their one year old Golden Retriever.

"Yes!" Jacob enthusiastically said. He kissed his mother and scrambled out of the bed. "I'll get leash!" he said and ran out of the room.

Ana smiled at her mother. "Happy birthday, mom. We'll be back in time for work and for daycare." She said and followed her brother out of the room.

Irina was left in the bed. A small smile fluttered in her lips as she took a bacon from the plate. She then slipped out of the bed and walked towards the door. She stuck her head out to check if Ana and Jacob are really gone.

She closed the door and walked towards the bathroom. She can hear the shower still running. The little interrupted activity they had a while ago will be continued.

Just as then, her cell phone rang.

Irina groaned and then shook her head. She went towards the side table and received the call.

"Hello?" she greeted.

"Hi mom. Happy birthday."

Irina smiled. Sydney.

"Thank you, honey."

-x-x-x-

(Around lunchtime…)

"You lied to your wife so that you can surprise her on her birthday." Julian Sark asked as Jack fixed one of the tables for the party.

"Julian, I thought you volunteered to help. Not to inquire about my… ways to surprise your future mother-in-law." Jack replied. "Where's Vaughn?"

Sark grinned as he placed the table cloth. "Little Daniel was crying a while ago."

A smile passed by Jack's face. Daniel is his and Irina's first grandchild. The little boy is a mixture of Vaughn and Sydney, with Vaughn's green eyes and Sydney's smile.

"What about Will?" Jack asked.

"I'm here." Will answered and stood by Sark. "The caterers just arrived. They're setting up in the kitchen."

Jack nodded his head. "Any word from the girls?"

"Ana is on her way back from the daycare center. Nadia is with Sydney and Irina." Sark answered and fixed the table once again.

Will lifted the chairs from and placed them by the table. "Jack, how did you manage to hide this from your wife?"

Jack snorted. "I bribed everyone to keep their mouth shut."

Will look at him. "Really?"

Jack shrugged. "I told Irina that I'll be going to Washington the day of her birthday. I told Ana not to tell, prodded Sydney and Nadia to go along and told everyone in the Rotunda that they are all invited provided that my wife will not know."

Sark laughed. Jack didn't bribe Sydney's husband, or Nadia's fiancé or him. They were coerced.

"But you were really going to Washington, right?" Will asked.

Jack nodded his head as he took another table and positioned it a few feet away from the first one. "When they found out that it was my wife's birthday, they gladly rescheduled.

Will noticed that Jack likes saying the word my wife. And Jack has changed (a little bit…) ever since he and Irina started to be together again. Jack Bristow loosened up and re-learned how to smile. But he can still pull of the famous Bristow killer flare anytime.

'Ahh… love. What it can do to man…'

Vaughn jogged out of the kitchen and into the back garden.

"I'm sorry. Daniel was hungry." He said and began to help Jack with the tables. "Ana just arrived. Jacob's asleep."

Jack acknowledged Vaughn's presence. They then continued working on the tables, table cloths and chairs. They intend to make this part of the house beautiful, like paradise. Jack wants this surprise birthday party to be the best.

A few minutes later, Ana walked out, holding a tray with glasses and a pitcher of cold water. She smiled at the sight of the four men, her father, her brother-in-law, her future brother-in-law and her boyfriend of two years, all wearing jeans.

"I saw all of you sweating all the way up from my room." She said and set the tray on the table. She poured water in each glass.

"Thank you." Sark said as he took a glass.

"Have you heard from your mother?" Jack asked as he took the glass Ana handed to him.

She nodded her head. "Yup. She called to ask about Jacob and Mrs. Bingley." Ana replied. Mrs. Bingley is Jacob's babysitter. Mrs. Bingley is currently looking after Jacob and Daniel, and invited to the party. "She also asked where I am."

"What did you say?" Vaughn asked.

"I told her I'm on my way back." Ana answered. Her mother knows that she just brought Jacob home. Not talking to four people who are all supposed to be either in Washington or in a mission. Dixon is keeping her mother from going out of their sight.

Ana looked at her watch. "Well, I'd better get going. I haven't eaten lunch." She said and gave a small wave goodbye.

"I'll walk you to your car." Sark said and immediately went to her side. Ana just smiled at him and then to her dad.

"Have fun, you guys."

-x-x-x-

"Have you found a nice color for the bridesmaids?" Sydney asked as to Nadia as they rode the elevator. Irina is by her right, in between her and Nadia while Ana is to her left.

"Yes, but Will and I are still considering about the price. It was horribly expensive." Nadia answered smilingly and then turned to her mother. "Mom, are you sure that you're okay by yourself on your birthday? We could always go bar-hopping."

"Nadia, you're engaged." Ana said jokingly.

Nadia looked at her younger sister. "I said bar-hopping not boy hopping."

Ana laughed and their mother smiled. "I'm okay. Ana and Jacob are with me at home. But if you want to, you, Sydney, Daniel and Vaughn can come for a sleepover."

Sydney chuckled. "Chaos will reign in the house, mom."

The three sisters discreetly looked at each other. They have successfully hid from their mother the existence of the party.

They reached their respective cars. Sydney and Nadia "kissed" them goodbye and walked away. Irina slipped in the driver's seat and Ana slipped into the passenger's seat.

"I'll call Mrs. Bingley, mom, and tell her that we're on our way home."

Irina nodded her head as she started the engine. Ana took out her cell phone and called "Mrs. Bingley".

"Hello? Mrs. Bingley? Hi, this is Ana… yes, I'm fine… Jacob's still asleep? Oh, okay… uhm… we're on our way home… yup. Thanks." Ana ended the call and slipped the phone in her pocket.

-meanwhile-

Jack set down his phone and turned to the people in the living room.

"They are on their way, people."

-x0x-x0x-x0x-

"So mom, did we really interrupt something this morning?" Ana asked as they waited for the red light to turn green.

Irina looked at her daughter. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, Jacob said something about… never mind."

She was a bit horrified with her daughter's reply. They should have really sound proofed their walls.

"Mom, green light."

Irina pressed the gas pedal and they cruised down the highway. She has a knack for evading traffic and after a few minutes, is turning in their street.

She smiled when she remembered the day Jack knocked on his neighbor's doors and introduced his family. It was an unnerving experience but Jack was so sweet about it. It made her cry.

The streets are unusually deserted. Very suspicious but Ana just talked and talked to her that it didn't really matter to Irina and she took no notice of it. They chatted all the way through the door.

Irina placed the key on the doorknob and opened the front door. When she and Ana went in and Ana opened the lights, a loud shout greeted them.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Irina laughed as everybody approached her to give a hug. She looked at Ana.

"You were into this." She said, smiling as she kissed Ana.

"Everybody was." Ana answered and hugged her. "Happy birthday, mom, I made the banner."

Jack walked through the sea of people to get to his wife. "Happy birthday, super mom." He whispered and kissed her. Irina smiled at him and hugged her husband.

The doorbell rang and in came Sydney and Nadia, followed by Dixon and his kids. Nadia immediately saw Will and went to him to give him a hug. Sydney on the other was approached by Vaughn before receiving a kiss from him.

"Hi. Where's Daniel?" Sydney asked smilingly. They held has as they walked towards the living room.

"Playing with Jacob, Erica and Mitchell upstairs." Vaughn answered. Erica is Weiss and Spicah's two year old daughter. "Katya, Byron, Dante and Francis are here." A few seconds after he said that, they were flanked by the people he just mentioned.

Jack's booming voice echoed around the house. "Please come outside and have dinner,"

Katya patted her on the arm and winked at her. "I saw the young Bristow-Vaughn. He will be heartbreaker in the future." She said and together with Byron, walked towards the back door.

Sydney and Vaughn waited until the there were a few people left in the living room. "You know what? When Hector, the Rambaldi monk told me that I have another sister and he sent me to the parallel universe?" Vaughn nodded his head, remembering that day. "It was something like this."

When they went outside, Sydney could only muster a small wow. It was beautiful.

"Its… its like paradise."

Vaughn grinned at her. "Will and Jack planned everything. Sark and I just followed orders."

Sydney laughed. "Where is Sark?"

Vaughn nudged her towards the direction of the oak tree. "With Ana."

Will looked at Nadia and smiled. "Do you like it?" he asked. Nadia smiled back at him, obviously enthralled with the garden.

"It's wonderful. How did you accomplish this under six hours?" she asked.

Will shrugged. "Your father is a great strategist."

Nadia laughed and she led him towards their father and mother's table. Jack and Irina are talking.

"Hi mom, dad. Mind it if we join you?"

Irina smiled and shook her head. "Of course not, have a seat, dears."

Will and Nadia took the seat beside Irina. They began to talk about the wonderful garden and the food. The people seem to enjoy them.

A few minutes later, Sydney and Vaughn joined them with their plates.

"Where are Ana and Julian?" Irina asked and turned to Jack. He just gave her a small smile.

"On their way here." He said a bit dryly. Irina raised a brow, a bit puzzled with his reaction and looked for her youngest daughter. She saw her walking towards them, smiling, and holding Sark's hand.

"Hi, mom, dad, Syd, Mike, Nadia, Will." She greeted. She is beaming, her gray eyes obviously brimming with happiness.

"Hello." Nadia greeted back.

Ana showed them her left hand. They can see a large rock resting on her fourth finger. "I don't know what's come over Julian, but he just proposed."

-x-x-x-

(Late, late that night…)

In the comforts of their bedroom, with only one lamp providing light to the whole room, Irina is sitting on Jack's lap, slowly undoing his necktie. They intend to finish what they had started this morning.

"You didn't seem surprise with Julian's proposal." Irina said and tossed the necktie to the floor.

Jack smiled. "He asked permission first." He said and nibbled on Irina's earlobe. "I was the one who suggested that they marry after Ana's twenty first birthday."

Irina laughed, both because of pleasure and amusement. "You really don't want your babies to be taken away from you?" she asked and kissed Jack in the lips.

"Nope." Jack answered. "How did you like the diamond bracelet? Jacob chose it for you. He wants something with a lot of shine." He said and gently skimmed his knuckles on her cheekbones.

"Your son has a very good eye for diamonds." Irina replied and began to unbutton Jack's Oxford shirt. "Thank you. It's beautiful."

"What about the party?" Jack asked and slid a hand under her skirt. "Did you enjoy it?"

"Hmmm… of course." Irina replied and slid the shirt off Jack's body. She felt desire snake through her when she felt him probe her.

She lowered her head and gently bit his neck. She heard a low growl escape his lips.

"Now, that's really nice." Irina whispered and started to unbuckle his belt. Jack meanwhile is trying to take off her blouse. He tossed it on the floor afterwards and unclasped her bra. She's still not finished with his belt after he tossed that article of clothing away.

"I win." Jack slyly said and lowered Irina to the bed. They kissed and their lips playfully teased and tugged as they try to take off each other's clothes. The sounds of clothes tearing are like music to their ears.

Irina pressed her long, lean body against Jack and began to pull his boxers down.

"I can't get your skirt to open." Jack muttered as he ran his hands on her bottom. She laughed and tugged on his underwear.

"I'll help you after I'm done with this." She said, giggling a bit. She can feel his hardness pressing on her leg.

Jack heard her sharp intake of breath when he covered her right breast with his mouth. She moaned as she felt the pleasure around her.

But a knock on the door interrupted them. Jack scrambled to turn off the lights. Not again.

A few minutes later, the door opened. "Daddy, mommy? I'm sowee but may you please come with me to the potty? Please?"

Jack and Irina looked at each other. They are both in the state of undress.

"I'll go with you, Jake." Irina said and kissed Jack on the lips. She then took a robe from the chair by the edge of the bed and put it on. She hopes that Jacob will not notice that she still has her skirt on. Jacob notices that kinds of things.

They were gone for a few minutes. Irina had to tuck Jacob back to bed. Fortunately, their son was too sleepy not to notice that his mother is a bit rumpled and out of breath.

Irina gently closed the door and then looked at Jack. He had turned on the lights and is now grinning at her.

"So, where were we?"

-x-x-x-

Exhausted after five rounds of lovemaking, Jack gently traced circles on his sleeping wife's back. She is half sprawled on top of him, with her left leg entangled with his. Her head is resting on his shoulder and her left arm is around his chest.

'Vary possessive wife.' Jack thought and pulled the blanket to her shoulders. He kissed the top of her head and inhaled her sweet scent.

Irina moved a bit, indicating to Jack that she is awake.

"Hmmm… that was fun." Irina said and kissed his neck.

"Want to do it again?" Jack asked.

She laughed. "Maybe tomorrow."

"Okay."

More laughter. Irina then snuggled a bit and gave a small sound of approval when she felt comfortable. Jack wrapped his arms around her shoulders and kissed her forehead.

"Jack?" She asked after a few minutes.

"Hmm…yeah?"

"I love you."

"I love you too."
