Sunlight poured through two large french doors. Kate stirred in her sleep, as the sunlight trickled through the window. Without any warning, Kate shot out of bed and hopped to her feet. Moving as fast as she could, Kate ran out of the room. Groggily Sawyer got out of bed. "Freckles? What's goin' on?" He stumbled down the hall and peeked his head into the bathroom. "...Freckles...you in here?" To Sawyer's surprise, he found Kate hunched over, crying. Sawyer rushed to her side. Sitting besides her, he pulled her over to him and held her tight. "hey hey hey...what's going on?..." Sawyer's voice was soft and caring, not his usual gruff tone.
Kate wrapped her arms around Sawyer. "...I feel so sick..." Kate had been getting sick for three days strait.
Sawyer felt so helpless. He hated to feel helpless, he had to be in control of every situation, especially ones involving people he loved. "It's guna be okay...I promise...I'm taking you to the doctor..." His grip tightened on a squirming Kate.
Normally, Kate would resist visiting a doctor at all cost but, this...this was different. Never before in her whole life had she felt this way. It wasn't exactly pain, just unusual. It wasn't so much the feeling that had Kate this broken down, it was fear. It was such a scary feeling, she was terrified she had obtained her mother's killer, cancer.
Sawyer gently lifted Kate. Carefully he carried her down stairs. Placing her down on the couch Sawyer knelt down. "...Kate...I was going to wait till tonight to do this...but, I want you to know that I'm here for you through anything..." Sawyer dug his hand down into his back pocket. He adjusted his position so he was on one knee. Kate immediately sat up. "...Freckles...will you...marry me?" Sawyer's voice was shaking. He was fearing for Kate's life as well. Sawyer's original plan was to take Kate out to dinner, then pop the question but, Sawyer wanted Kate to know what ever was wrong with her, he was going to be right there.
Tears dribbled down Kate's flushed cheeks. Kate had been unusually pale for several days. Trembling, she pulled the ring from the box then looked up at Sawyer. "...I love you so much...Yes..." A huge smile was plastered on her face.
"... Look closely at it." Sawyer said with a little smirk.
Kate examined the ring a little closer. "...Freckles." She read aloud. Looking up at Sawyer, Kate's smile grew. Gently, Kate slipped the ring on. It was a perfect fit. Kate fell into his arms sobbing and smiling.
Several hours later, it was time to go to the doctor. Sawyer helped Kate out and into the car before getting in himself. The entire car ride was silence. Sawyer helped Kate get out of the car. Once in the doctors office Kate was instructed to fill out paper work. She filled all of it out, except her name. Shyly, Kate looked over to Sawyer. They both knew she would have to make an alias. Sawyer gave a small nod and took the clipboard. 'Mary Ford' he scribbled out. It was his mother's name. They handed in the forms and waited within minutes they were taken back to a room. Kate looked horrible. The doctor was alarmed by how sick she looked and took them with virtually no wait. After performing a series of tests, the results were in. The doctor entered the room smiling. "...Mrs.Ford...I'm happy to say...Your pregnant."
Kate looked to Sawyer nervously. He had a huge smile. Once Kate realized this was something Sawyer wanted, she relaxed. Kate never really wanted children but, suddenly, she couldn't want anything more.
Three days went by. Sawyer woke up early, put on his nicest clothes, and made Kate breakfast in bed. After waking up, getting sick and returning to bed, Kate kissed Sawyer on the cheek. It was still hard for her to believe she was two months pregnant and didn't even know it. "What's all this?" Kate asked weakly.
"Your going to need your strength. Today we go to the specialist, remember?" Sawyer smiled at her.
Later that day Kate and Sawyer got in his truck and drove to the specialist. This meant even more paperwork, allot of waiting and the same alias as before. Once they had finished they waited about thirty minutes before moving into another room. Sawyer paced nervously. "Where the hell are they?! We've been waiting forever!" Sawyer was obviously worried.
Kate sat in a light blue gown. "I'm sure they'll be in any..." Kate was cut off by the opening of a door. What happened next, neither of them expected.
A hauntingly familiar face entered the room, Juliet.
