He had said that he'd make me happy. He'd said that I'd live and be happy. Well I guess I'm happy. Lets see if I can describe myself in six words: filthy stinking rich with a kid, there. Yes I am rich! Stupid Ben made me rich decided it was the only way I'd keep it a secret. Well he was wrong, why would go around tell people that 'I am and oceanic 815 survivor, the one that was on the plane with the US marshal, you all remember Edward Mars right? good, because I was with him.' Nope, nuh'uh no way. How about I describe my life in one word that Jack would love to hear. Happy. Tow words that I hate to think. "Not Home. That's right I'm not home, I'm in stinking New York City! I miss the island, and Jamie says that she'd do anything to be there right now with me. Anyway…this is well…my life!
She had been off the island almost fourteen years now. She watched her daughter Jamie grow and laugh. She watched her make friends and loose them. And finally she allowed her to go on her first date three days after her thirteenth birthday.
Jamie of course was popular in school. She had curly brown hair and hazel eyes, just as her mother. But she had the attitude of her father, and was none for, guess what? Nicknames. Her best friend Clementine Philips was always and still is 'Tommy' Kate never knew why but she knew that Jamie had her reasons, just as her father did. Jamie usually never called Kate 'Mom, or Mommy, or even Mother.' It was always 'Freckles.' Jamie found it amusing, and seemed to think it matched her.
"Hey Freckles." She said walking into her house after school one day.
"Hey James, how was school?" It was Jamie's last day of school and Kate had big plans for the summer.
"It was the last day Freckles! What do you think, it was slow and boring, and we had to clean a lot. How was your day?"
"I bought our Freighter ship tickets and we are going on our voyage at the end of this month !"
"All the way to Australia?" She squealed with in joy.
"All the way to Australia." Kate assured her.

Kate woke up with a start. She had been in the hospital for almost thirty two hours. Her father had been sitting in the chair beside her that was now empty. She sat up still sore from the birth. She looked around the room and sighed. Then her father came back in the room with a nurse.
"Miss. Shepard, I am glad you're awake, would you like to see your daughter now?" Kate smiled.
"Yes please."
The nurse nodded and left the room again.
"Hey Katie." Her dad said hugging her.
"Hey daddy."
"How are you feeling?"
"Pretty good. Where have you been?"
"I went to see her; I can't stand a moment without watching her. She's truly beautiful." At that the nurse walked in.
She handed the small bundle of blankets to Kate and Kate held the baby quietly humming under breath barely audible by herself. "You all everybody, you all everybody."
"Hello my little Jamie." She said kissing the baby's had.

Kate picked up the phone and slowly dialed her father's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey daddy."
"Hello Katie,"
"I just wanted to tell you that I got the tickets for August fourth." Eight, Four.
"That's great sweetie, I'm really excited, did you tell Jame yet?"
"Yeah, she's already gone to pack!" Kate said laughing.
"Alright well then I guess I will go do the same. Talk to you later."
"Bye Daddy." She hung up and went back to the dishes slowly humming. "You all everybody, you all everybody, acting like these stupid people wearing expensive clothes"

"What are you doing?" Juliet asked Jack who was attempting to climb a very tall stock of bamboo.
"Climbing."
"Oh my god Jack! Great plan maybe if you climb very high you'll be able to see the civilization on the other side of the island, you know a road, a McDonalds."
He looked down at her. "Funny.
"Ok, why are you climbing the bamboo?"
"I don't know."
"Why is it suddenly, this island is very boring?"
"Because, we have no one to shoot, chase though the jungle, find, kill, torture, beat up, and save. So now there's nothing to do."
"Yes of course."
Jack finally shimmied down the bamboo and smiled at Juliet. "Hi."
"I'll race you to the beach." She said smiling.
"Will you actually come on the beach?"
"Jack, I can't you know that. I could be executed if I'm seen with you."
"Then why are you here."
"Because I have videos that I want you to see." Juliet opened her knapsack and pulled out a video camera and a few cassettes. "Watch them, you won't regret it." She pushed the camera into his hand s then ran off into another direction.
Jack looked at the labels on the cassettes. 'Jamie age 4,' and 'Jamie, age 8,' and 'Jamie, age 6, Kate tells Jamie about the island, about her father." The one that Jack was surprised at the most was. "Jamie, age 9 starts calling Kate 'Freckles' mimicking James Ford's previous nickname for Austen.'

Kate smiled as she entered her house. "Hey Ben. Want some pizza? We have some left from dinner."
Ben looked at Kate and smiled. "No thanks, I was just coming in to check up on you. How have you been?"
"Good, we are going on a cruise to Australia this summer."
"Sounds like fun. Kate I have this for you, it's a video, you should watch it." Kate looked took the video from Ben's hands and Ben left.
She looked at the Label. 'Jack and James talk about Kate for the first time in seven years.'
