The Day

Hey guys I'm back again and finally writing something that has also been playing on my mind for a while now, and since I value my hair the way it is, I've decided to type this two- shot up, hehe. Hope you guys will like it. Initially I thought of doing this piece under the restriction of a T rating, but the temptation to have some jate smut seemed to overpower my better judgement at the time, hehe ;)

Disclaimer : As usual I still don't own lost or Jack and Kate for that matter, but I'm hoping that Santa will make my wish come true.

Enjoy

(Flashback - 4 months ago)

The unfortunate threat they had come to unfortunately know as the Others had indeed been defeated by their opponents. Leaving their fellow follower Juliet to stray more towards the way of the Flight 815 survivors. Ever since she had been accepted, she had in turn revealed more secrets concerning the island, but in the process her friendship with a certain Doctor had also excelled into that of a slight involvement, but the watchful brunette always knew that it was more Juliet initiating the relationship rather than him, and as the time went on her assumptions were proved right, especially one night when virtually the whole camp were abruptly brought out of their sleep and tents by a loud noise.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" a blonde haired woman screamed out as she undid the last few buttons of her pale yellow blouse. Her form being accompanied only minutes later by a taller form they had come to know and regard as their leader.

"Jules I'm sorry I……"

"SORRY FOR WHAT JACK. FOR TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT YOU FELT NOTHING FOR HER OR THAT YOU JUST CALLED HER NAME OUT WHILE WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO MAKE LOVE." she screamed into his face while trying her very best to wipe away the tears that fell at a frantic pace along with her rapidly beating heart, and when he failed to respond in any way to make her see otherwise, she just ran straight into the seemingly abandoned depths of the jungle before them.

The rest of the camp just stood there gob smacked at what they had heard, but no one was more shocked than the brunette herself. For she knew who the blonde was referring to and the looks she got from the other survivors following that argument was enough to prove that. This is all my fault, she said to herself as her eyes continued to focus on the now defeated man who looked pretty close to his end now.

"Wow. Looks like someone's having a bad day." she heard one of the survivors mumbling to the person next to them and the response that person gave in return was enough to raise a sense of hatred from her. She was being labelled yet again as the source of blame. Although to a certain extent she couldn't argue over it, cause she was the reason he was like this. She was the reason that it came to this.

"Hey" she offered rather shyly as she took note of his seemingly nonchalant expression. A sight that sent shivers up and down her spine. The chill getting that much more intense as he brushed past her to head for the woods. The same place he knew Juliet would be completely lost in, realistically and emotionally. However the very next moment he was stopped short by a hand grasping hold of his upper arm, and as much as he wanted to simply rip himself out of her grasp and walk away, he knew that he couldn't have the heart to. Not when it came to her.

"What do you want Kate?"

"You wanna talk about it?" the brunette immediately offered while trying her very best to catch hold of a sense of focus with him. The darkness of the night not helping in the slightest, but her determination to help him somewhat shining through and then gaining some sense of wordless compliance from him in return.

"And what's there to talk about."

"C'mon Jack you know what I……"

"No."

"What do you mean Jack?" she enquired of him while pushing away the tears that had already surfaced at having to personally experience this surprising sense of negation, especially from the one person she cared more than she wanted to admit, especially to herself.

"I'm saying that I'm done with this Kate. In fact I'm done with everyone here on this beach…………………I'm leaving." he replied in a hushed manner and then hung his head at the last part. The outcome of what he had been feeling over the past few months finally spilling out in the form of this confession.

"Why Jack. Why are you doing this?" she pleaded of him through a combination of her voice and a pair of tear filled eyes looking at him with such pain that it ripped his heart in two, but lucky for him the cover of the night sky failed to show and convey that knowing of pain to her in it's complete entirety.

"You officially don't have the right to ask me that anymore Kate. Not after everything that's happened." he explained to her while harbouring a steely gaze. A gesture to show her not only how determined he was in his statement, but of how blatantly annoyed he was about the choices she had made of late. Choices that sadly didn't involve him.

"Jack I….."

"Don't" was the next thing he said to her, right before he slung his packed backpack over his shoulder and then walked out, leaving her to finally let the tears fall.

(End of flashback)

"Wow guys, you really didn't have to do all of this." the brunette expressed with a tearful smile. The other three women behind her mirroring that very smile, but unlike the brunette, their smiles rooted from a sense of satisfaction. An aspect you would naturally experience once you've achieved the expectations of a loved one. The brunette before them being a perfect and equal example.

"Oh c'mon it's just a few decorations here and there."

"Well thanks so much guys. I never thought that I would get to experience this. I mean to crash on an island and find the best thing that has……………………..

"Evening ladies" a deep and familiar voice announced itself at the entrance of the tent the four women were currently residing in.

"And what can we do for you?" the small blonde woman offered as she tried to manage a fussy Aaron in her arms , while the other two tried their best to hide the elegant creation they had been admiring not so long ago.

"Well I was wondering if I could borrow this lovely lady for a few minutes." the tall man asked as he physically neared himself to that very woman. Her thick brown curls and green eyes showing effortlessly through a combination of the natural moonlight, and the glow of the massive bonfire on the beach that still stood as a signal for rescue, even though a distinct majority of the survivors had given up on it a long, long time ago.

"Well "this lovely lady" is busy at the moment, and besides how stupid do you think we are." the other blonde woman teased, eliciting a joint chuckle from the other women around the scene, and the tone of their laughter excelled that much more when he just hung his head in obvious shame of what was being implied here, but to a certain extent he couldn't help it. 7 hours was too long to be away from her.

"Okay, okay guys I think we've embarrassed him enough" the brunette expressed while moving closer to the man who continued to keep his gaze planted on the floor. More so the sandy beach substance that would have to do for the time being.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to talk to my fiancee." was what she uttered next with a proud smile adorning her face and the man behind her couldn't help but join in with the atmosphere of that sentiment. The memory of when he first asked her all coming back to him.

(Flashback - 2 weeks ago)

Things on the island seemed to finally take a turn for the better, especially a certain couple who also seemed to be at their best at the moment.

"So what are you doing tonight?" a voice behind her breathed against her skin while her body was also welcomed with a pair of arms almost naturally wrapping themselves around her slim waist.

"Sinking." she expressed right before she turned herself around in his arms. Her lips already leaning in for a physical proclamation that he was more than willing to offer in return.

"Mmmmmm you taste like guavas." Jack breathed passionately against her mouth, right before he sealed himself within the passionate entanglement he had been engaged in. The blissful feeling of her taste being too much of a temptation for him, and all he could think of at this point was acquiring more of it. However he knew doing something like that would only attract unwanted attention. So with that he reluctantly pulled away with a groan. His need already showing for her, emotionally and physically much to his obvious embarrassment, but thankfully the brunette was quick enough to pick up on it through the dark, and with that they both headed back to the nearest form of cover. Her shelter being the closest and best choice at the moment.

Once they arrived within the fairly compact but quaint confines of her tent, she found herself almost immediately being lifted into the air and then planted gently over the soft substitute for a bed. The addition of his broad and solid form over hers making her forget everything else other than the feel of his masculine texture brushing against her more delicate one.

"God you are so beautiful" he mused in complete awe and admiration as his current position allowed his for him to observe and absorb every feature that created this object of perfection.

"You really know how to turn on the waterworks don't ya" the brunette half joked before her emotions got the better of her. However much to her surprise those tears didn't make their usual and expected path down the recess of her freckled cheeks. Instead she found them being kissed away with the utmost care by the man above her.

"Jack." she mouthed out in a trembling voice. The tone already alerting him into protector mode and when he saw the raw emotion in her eyes, he couldn't help but smile at knowing that he could do that for her. That he was the reason for that sense of emotion to swell from within her in the first place.

It was time for that step. That step towards a future, their future.

(End of flashback)

"So what did you want to talk to mppphhh" Kate attempted to enquire off the man who was walking aside her the last time she saw him, right before he was in front of her and kissing her with all the passion he could muster. His longing for her being portrayed in this solitary kiss, and like always she sunk further into his welcoming warmth along with the pressure she started to put into the kiss as well. Their tongues crushing against one another in a well rehearsed dance of exploration and devotion.

"God I've wanted to do that for so long now." he gasped out against her lips. The thought of pulling away coming off as ridiculous at this point because he was too far in now, mentally and physically. Well he hoped so sometime soon, he ruefully thought to himself.

"Jack, we've only been apart for 7 hours." she replied while looking upon him ridiculously, but the twinkle present within her glowing gaze was what gave her away completely.

"And I've spent every single minute thinking of the many ways I'm going to have you. Maybe even before the wedding night." he expressed with all seriousness in his tone and expression, and before she had the time to absorb that information he had already grasped her even closer to him. Her body now rubbing against every inch of his, even the more private parts that grew equally aroused at the sudden contact. The gasp coming from her lips confirming and telling him that.

"Oh my Go……"

"You feel that Kate. Can you feel how hard your making me right now." he hissed only inches away from her face as he continued to grind against her in a typical dry humping motion, and as soon as it had started, it was interrupted by the rather rude and expected yell that came in the form of a dragged out Southern accent.

"Good night Sawyer." the brunette mouthed with a smile while she felt Jack almost instinctively grasp her closer to him. His fear of losing her to the Southerner always being a worry for him despite her numerous attempts to show him otherwise.

Never the less she pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind for the time being. The reality currently wrapping itself even more tighter around her all the more enticing to her eyes and lips. Lips that started to make a slow and wet trail along the coarse and exposed skin that lay uncovered before her like a gourmet meal, and she didn't try to hold back when she finally attached her lips to the exact area. His lingering groan of appreciation revving her all the more, especially with her ministrations that had not only spread through her lips, but also through the coinciding movements of her right hand. The tips of her fingers moving ever so slowly across the expanse of his clothed torso and then daring to touch what lingered beneath and grew even further as a response.

"I want you so bad right now." he stuttered into her ear. His breaths coming in the form of several laboured huffs. The sensation warming and thrilling her at the same time, and for a moment she felt like giving in, but at the last minute she decided to pull away. Her recollection of talking to him about waiting till the wedding night to engage in something as meaningful as this coming back to her.

"Kate" he half moaned and whined, the latter gaining a sense of dominance, especially when she continued to pull away from him completely. Her expressions unreadable at this point, but he felt that it could just be the pure unadulterated lust clouding every fibre of his being at the very sight of it's source.

"I thought we were gonna wait till tomorrow night." the brunette expressed with a growing smile that managed to shoot his temperature up a few more degrees.

"Your mean you know that" he half joked while offering her the hint of a surfacing smile.

"Yeah, but you still love me" she replied while leaning into him once again. His slightly light hearted expression disappearing and being replaced with that previous dark look of focused lust, but in the end he tried to find some kind of balance.

"Well I can't argue with that or with our agreement as well so……."

"So…." she repeated in a dragged out manner, eliciting a chuckle from him due to the exaggerated and incredibly cute expression.

"So we can wait till tomorrow, but I'm telling you now, we have a lot to make up for." he offered with a growl and a squeeze of her sides at the last bit. Her wordless agreement to that being graciously conveyed through a kiss that was enough to change his mind once again, but this time he pulled away and then watched her slowly making her way towards the still lit tent where the other three women still were.

The things he did for love.

The light of a new day shone brightly through every tent on the beach, waking the few people who decided to have a bit of a lie in before attending what everyone anticipated would be the biggest event to ever occur on a place they had learned to call home.

"I'm getting married today. I'm gonna become Mrs. Jack Shepherd." the brunette silently mouthed to herself with a smile that would literally put the daylight outside to shame. From there on things on the island had turned into a massive bustle, but the breathtaking outcome in the end was what made it all worth it. The entire frame of the altar was bordered with lilies, Kate's favourite flower, and they made sure to make that element a running theme throughout the entire area along with a few other meaningful elements that would make this moment perfect. Now all that was left to complete this setting was the two people who they had done all of this for.

"So……what do you guys think?" a nervous brunette asked as she twirled around what the other three spectators concluded to be one of the greatest creations of a wedding dress. The entire upper expanse of the dress twisted around to her left side. A feature Claire thought wouldn't work at first, but what she was seeing right now was enough to prove her doubts wrong. The gentle tautness of the material as it twisted caused for every inch of her brilliant figure to be shown. Not too subtly but just enough to accentuate her never ending beauty. The rest of the dress flew rather wildly around her, but that too hugged her perfectly. The chosen fabric they had managed to miraculously salvage out of the wreckage literally being a God send to this more than momentous occasion.

"Oh my God you look……" the other blonde woman managed to gasp out before her abnormally heightened emotions got the better of her. A part of this more than unexpected change in emotions being the 2 month bulge of her pregnancy by a man she never thought she would grow to befriend and then love as a result.

"Aww Jules it's gonna be okay." an equally tearful Kate replied before she was already being pulled in for a hug by the instigator, Claire who too joined in with the emotional moment, but each one of these women didn't cry for what they may have lost in the past. Instead they cried for what they had gained on a place they had least expected to get it.

Claire and Charlie had grown even closer after their face off with the Others, and the outcome of this sense of growth in their relationship had led to the birth of their first child together. Although in actual effect it was their second because Charlie was adamant that Aaron was his son.

Juliet went through a hard time herself and for a while as well, but in experiencing this it had only brought her closer to a person she never thought would be so surprisingly kind and generous to her in return. A person she had originally come to know as the conman Sawyer, but even when he was briefly with the others, she had always referred to him as James. A name that made him human in her opinion, and as the time went on she started to learn more and more about him. A month later and their relationship had excelled to a mutual and genuine sense of caring. A sense of caring that created a new addition to their relationship, a baby. At first Sawyer was obviously terrified of this change for several reasons. Most of them involving the fact of his influence as a Father.

Now 2 months later and that sense of worry had slowly dissipated, thanks to the one woman he had never expected to support him in the way she always did and continued to do. Despite her being the one who was going to experience this painful but worthy journey, right to the end.

"You ladies ready yet?" the four women heard a voice ask from the closed entrance to the tent they were in at the moment. Juliet smiling right away through her tears at the familiarity of that voice, but unlike her the other three women just groaned in frustration, right before they dissolved into a fit of giggles that Sawyer felt he was rightful to intrude on. A slap upside the head from the brunette being his penalty for having done that.

The rest of that time up to the wedding was spent in a state of nervousness, but along with that a sense of happiness existed as well, especially at knowing that this was finally gonna happen. That these two lovers were gonna be joined in the strongest form of commitment known to their existence.

The well timed playing of Charlie's guitar being a glorious reminder for Jack as he now stood at the decorated end of the beach isle. As Charlie strummed his best attempt of the Wedding March tune, Kate finally made her way over to the designated area. Her eyes glistening once again at the sight that lay before her, but through those tears a smile was elicited at not only seeing the man of her dreams looking at her with such love, but also the person who was giving her away today. Another person who had also accepted her faults and still befriended her.

"Are you ready?" Sayid asked as he looped his arm for her to take, and her slow physical nod of agreement was enough to make him smile in return, and with that the journey towards her new life had begun.

Well there's part one guys and come next chap we'll see a continuation of the wedding of course and then the saucy wedding night, hehe. So what do you think guys, should I go ahead with the second instalment?
