Like Father, Like Daughter
Chapter1: Like a New House
Jaclyn sat with her feet in the water and head turned looking at her mother and Jack laughing.
"Hey squirt." Sawyer said sitting next to her.
"Hello…um…" she blushed. "I'm not sure what to call you…"
He laughed. "well you can call me, James, Sawyer, Mr. Ford, or even…I mean if you want, Dad." He smiled at her.
"Well then hello dad." She said smiling back.
She looked back at her mom who was now kissing Jack and frowned sighing.
"You don't like the doc do yah?"
"No it's not that…it's that I haven't seen her for almost three months, and I know he hasn't seen her for almost thirteen years, but still I'm her daughter and she hasn't talked to me since this morning." She sighed again.
"Well that give me and you more time to get to know each other, don't it?" She smiled again.
"Sure does!"
"You wanna see something cool, that me and your mum found a little while back?" She nodded.
"Yes please."
He stood up and offered her a hand. "Your going to love this." He said leading her into the jungle.
"Jaclyn!"

Kate watched as her daughter sat talking to the man who was after all her father. She seemed to be getting along with him.
"You still watching Sawyer?" Jack asked trying to sound offended.
She hit him playfully in the arm. "Funny."
"She seems to like him." He said
"Yeah, I'm actually glad, I was scared that Sawyer would freak out and deny everything." She said giving jack a kiss on the neck.
"She's a good kid."
"Yeah, she is…" She said before catching his mouth with hers. When she broke the kiss she saw Sawyer leading her daughter into the jungle.
"Jaclyn!" She called letting go of Jack, who sighed.
Jaclyn turned around slowly and rolled her eyes. "Yeah?" She called back.
Kate shook her head and walked up to her. "Where do you think your going?" She asked putting her hands on her hips.
"I'm going to some cool place that you and dad found." She said haughtily.
"Dad?" Kate said with a bit of amusement, she never expected to hear her call Sawyer 'dad' after two days of living of knowing that he was her father.
"Yes, my father." Jaclyn replied looking at Sawyer.
"Sawyer where are you taking her?"
"Remember where we found the tin suitcase doc has the key for around his neck, you know the one that belonged to your US marshal friend?" Kate rolled her eyes.
"Yes, I remember where is that where your taking her?"
"Yes…" He said putting his hands on his hips imitating her.
Kate rolled her eyes again. "That's going to be an over night trip."
"Yeah, well that's why I brought water bottles and a knife." He said holding up his pack.
She took it from his hands. "Hey!" He said grabbing for it. But she opened it and handed the gun in it to Jack.
"No guns." She said handing the bag back to Sawyer.
"Fine, no guns, geez." Jaclyn giggled a little.
Kate nodded and gave Jaclyn a hug, "If you hear anything, run don't stop to help this jackass, he can fend for himself." She said giving Jaclyn a kiss on top of her head.
"Yes, mother." She said waving as she entered the jungle.
A few minutes later when she was sure her mother was out of ear shot she said. "I thought my mom said no guns."
Sawyer looked at her smiling, then he took the gun from the back of his pants and put it in his pack, "What she don't know won't hurt her." He said throwing pack back over his shoulder.

Kate sat on the beach with Jack a few minutes after her daughter left. "she likes him, thank god I thought she'd be pissed at me for my bad taste." Jack laughed.
"Hey anyone can like sawyer when he likes you." He said putting an arm around her. "I mean, come on look at you, and then look at me…" She laughed this time.

"Are we lost yet?" Jaclyn asked sarcastically.
"Girl, we've been lost for long time, if you don't remember I've been on an unknown island in the middle of nowhere for almost fifteen years." Jaclyn nodded.
"I know." She said smiling.
It was starting to get dark and Jaclyn was getting tired so she sat down on a fallen tree. "Time to make camp?" James asked looking at his daughter.
"I think so…" She said taking her pack off.
"I'm going to go and get some fire wood." James said and left her.
Jaclyn stood up and picked some of the bigger leaves laying them down. Them she herself laid down on top of them and slowly drifted off the sleep…
She watched her mom as she spoke in a hushed voice to Ben. She couldn't tell what they were saying but they were making plans, she knew it! Then suddenly Jack comes up behind them and starts whispering as well, then James comes aswell. Then she is tied up to a chair by Ben while her mother stands in the arms of Jack (The ripper!) crying. James just stands there with an evil look in his eyes watching every knot Ben tied as if making sure he did it right. Then there was a loud noise and a black cloud of smoke and she screamed…
"Hey! Kid wake up!" she was being shaken by James when she opened her eyes.
"What?" She asked sitting up with a start.
"You were screaming your funny little head off!" He said sitting next to her. "Woke me up." She knew he was trying to be funny but she just stared at him blankly.
"I saw smoke…" She said with no emotion.
His eyes widened and he looked at down at her. "What?"
"Smoke, a big back smoke…monster." She said slowly.
