"Kate-Kate wait!" Jack ran after her as she turned and headed for the door. He couldn't believe it. All this time she'd been pregnant and that was the problem? She wasn't having an affair or off doing more illegal things. She was having his baby.

"Jack get off of me!" she yelled as he grabbed her hand to pull her back.

"Kate I'm so sorry, I didn't-"

"Jack!" she yelled and then she slapped him.

"What was that for?"

"Pay attention Jack, I'm only gonna say this once. Then you're going to leave and never see me again. Do you understand?"

"But what about…?" Jack reached for her stomach but she slapped his hand away.

"It's not yours, Jack, it's his."

Kate found herself trapped. Trapped in a world of lies and a sea of despair. She didn't have to tell Jack about the baby, it hadn't been necessary, but she did. She didn't know for sure that the baby was his but she could guess it since her and Jack had only found time for sex after the symptoms started. She had planned to drug Jack just like she'd drugged her ex husband. But getting herself into more illegal situations seems like a bad idea. He needed to know. Not just about the baby but how it felt to be left for someone better. He'd take Juliet over her any day, but Juliet stayed and she left and that was the difference.

Kate picked up the phone and dialed the number she'd memorized since she got it.

"Ello, Clememtime speakin'" said a childish voice on the other end.

"Her there Clementine, is your mommy there?"

Kate could hear the girl yelling to her mother in the background

"Hello? Kate? Hi! How are you?"

"I told him," Kate whispered defeatedly.

"Pardon?"

"I told Jack about the baby, Cassidy."

"Oh Jesus have mercy. What'd he say?"

"He thought it was his."

"Oh well now. Yours goes thinkin' it's some miracle and mine wants nothin' to do with me or the baby"

"Cass, yours is mine now too"

"Yeah, well, men these days, you get 'em all and I scare 'em away"

"Sorry to bother you but have you um… heard from him yet?"

"I got a call today from one of his secretaries, she seemed to know way more than I was expecting about your plane. Said Mr.W's away on business but he'd be more than happy to speak with us. Well, you"

"Oh my God, Cass, I don't know what I'd do without you!"

"Hey, Kate?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think there's any way we could actually meet in person?"

"Cassidy, we've already met"

"We've both changed, Kate. Come on, I did you that favor way long ago with your mom, you owe me"

"Don't play this game with you, you know I'll win"

"Oh hush, we both know that aint true. I want to see you before we put this plan into action."

"I always forget that this twisted plan hasn't even started yet.
