Vacation of Troubles

Authors note: Hopefully you won't be to mad at me for what happens in this chapter. I don't own Lost.

It had been a month since Kate told Jack the good news, and Jack couldn't be more excited. He couldn't wait to hold the new bundle of joy they would welcome in eight months. To celebrate the news Jack decided that the family should go on vacation, nothing big just a trip to the mountains to relax for the weekend.

"Kate, are you almost ready to go?" He asked her.

"Almost, I just have to finishing packing Claire's stuff and then we can go," she replied.

Five minutes late she came out of the bedroom lugging a large suitcase, with Claire balanced on her hip.

"Kate, what are you doing?" He asked her, "You shouldn't be carrying anything heavy."

"Would you calm down, I'm fine," she assured him.

"No, you don't need to be doing that," he told her, "Here let me take it." He said as he took the large suitcase from her hands.

"Jack, you shouldn't worry about me," she said, "I'm fine, I am fully capable of carrying a suitcase."

"Kate, please don't argue with me," he said, "I'm the doctor and I know what is best for you."

"Why do you need this much stuff anyway?" He questioned noticing the three other suitcases waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs.

"Unlike you, I don't wake up beautiful," she joked.

"You don't need all of this to make you beautiful Kate," he said being completely serious. "You are beautiful just the way you are."

"Nice try," she said, "but we are taking all the suitcases."

"Fine," he said giving into her once again.

After ten minutes of trying to fit all the suitcases in their van, they were finally ready for the four hour drive they had ahead of them. Once they made sure the kids were buckled in and they had their toys in hand, they pulled out of the driveway and onto the road.

Two hours into the drive Aaron and Claire were both sound asleep, Kate hadn't given them a nap so that they would sleep on the way there. Kate was also starting to feel a little bit tired; she had been so busy that she hadn't sat sown all day.

"Kate, maybe you should rest," Jack said to her after seeing how tired she looked.

"I'm fine," she said starting to get annoyed with how overprotective he was being.

"Did you rest at all today?" He asked already knowing the answer.

"I didn't have time," she replied, "I had to clean the house and pack."

"I know you don't want to hear it, but I really think that you should slow down," he said, "this isn't good for you or the baby."

"Fine I will slow down, if you will chill out," she said hoping he would drop the subject.

"Okay, I will chill," he replied, "One more thing," he continued.

"What?" She said slightly annoyed.

"Did you eat enough today?" He asked her. "You are eating for two you know."

"If I take a nap will you shut up?" She asked him.

"Yes, I knew if I kept this up you would do what I wanted you." He answered her.

"What is it with you doctors?" she questioned, "You always think you know what is best for everyone."

"I don't know what is best for everyone, just you." He laughed.

"I hate you," she said with a smile.

"Love you too," he grinned.

It didn't take her long to doze off, she was so tired she could have fall asleep anywhere. Jack couldn't help but look at her, she was so beautiful when she was asleep, so peaceful looking. He couldn't believe that he was this lucky, he had a beautiful wife, two wonderful kids with another on the way; his life was perfect.

It took them another hour and a half to reach their hotel, and by the time the finally arrived it was after eleven o'clock.

"Kate, we're here," he said softly trying to wake her up.

Her eyes fluttered open and a smile appeared on her face.

"You were right about me needing to get some sleep," she told him.

"That is because doctor knows best," he said with a laugh. "Now lets get you to bed."

Kate carried Claire and held on to Aaron's hand, as they walked in to the hotel. Jack soon followed carrying all the suitcases that Kate had insisted on bringing. Once they got to their room Kate changed Claire and put her in bed, and Jack did the same to Aaron.

"Just think in less than eight months we are going to have another little one to put to bed," Jack said with a smile as they closed the door leading to the kid's room.

"I know," Kate, replied with a slight yawn, "I almost doesn't even seem possible."

"Come on lets get you to bed, it's been a long day," He said knowing that she was worn out for the trip.

They made their way to the bed and snuggled up close to each other.

"What do you think we should do tomorrow?" she asked him.

"Well there is a small park right around the corner," he answered, "maybe we can take the kids there."

"I love you," she said.

"I love you too," he replied, "but we need to get some sleep, we can't stay up talking all night."

"I know," she said as she rolled her eyes at him, he was so overprotective of her she felt like she was five again.

"Goodnight," he said as he kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight."

They next morning, the kids woke up around seven o'clock and they couldn't wait to go outside and play. Aaron decided that he had to go get his parents up, so he rushed into their room and jump right on top of their bed.

"Wake up!" he shouted, "It's snowing!"

"Aaron, what are you doing up?" Jack asked him hoping that this was just a dream.

"Claire and I want to go play in the snow," he said, "so it is time for you to get up."

"Okay, I'm up," Jack said, "but keep it down I don't want you to wake up your mom."

"Too late," Kate said as she turned over to face him.

"Sorry mommy," Aaron apologized.

"It's okay baby," she said to him, "Why don't you go watch TV while we get ready?"

"Okay," he said as he ran out to the living room to turn on cartoons.

"Well I guess I better go cook some breakfast," Kate said with a small laugh.

"I will make breakfast, you just go take a shower," Jack told her.

"You don't have to do that," she told him, "I will be fine."

"I know, but I want to," he said to reassure her that this is what he wanted to do.

"Okay," she said as she gave him a small peck on the cheek.

An hour later, they had finished their breakfast and were all dressed and ready to play in the snow. Aaron looked so cute; he had a Spiderman coat and matching snow boats. Claire had on her pink mittens and pink coat, and she even had matching pick snow boots. Kate began to pick Claire up to carry her outside, but Jack insisted they he carry her.

"Here I will take her," Jack said as he took the toddler out of Kate's hands.

"Jack please stop worrying about me," she begged.

"I'm not worried about you, I just want to hold my little princess," he told her.

"Fine, I will hold Aaron," she said as if to show him that she was going to do what she wanted, even without his permission.

"Kate, he is five years old he can walk on his own," Jack said stating the obvious.

"You know sometimes you really bug me," she told him.

"I know, but that's why you love with," he said with a goofy grin.

With that they began to make their way outside, they walked down the hall towards the elevator, and pressed the level one button. Once they reached the lobby, they made their way towards the entrance down and down the front steps. Unfortunately, Kate didn't realize that the steps were completely iced over and as soon as her foot hit the steps she slipped and fell to the ground.

"Kate!" Jack shouted as he ran to her side. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," she answered, "Just a little slip, nothing to big."

"I think we should get you to the hospital and have you checked out," he said with his voice full of concern.

"Jack, I'm fine," she reassured him, "I just slipped, I promise I'm okay."

"Okay, if you say so," he said not fully convinced.

"Now come on lets go play in the snow!" She exclaimed.

They played in the snow for a half hour before the kids decided that they wanted to go inside.

"Mommy, can we go inside?" Aaron asked, "I'm cold."

"Of course baby," she replied.

They family of four pack up and began to head back to the hotel. Jack noticed that Kate had a funny look on her face, almost like she was in pain.

"Kate, are you okay?" he asked her.

"Yeah, my back just hurts a little probably from the fall," she said as if it were nothing.

They began to walk into the elevator when a sharp pain hit Kate, almost as if someone was stabbing her with a knife.

"Kate, what's wrong?" Jack asked completely panicked.

"Jack, I think something's wrong," she replied with worry in her eyes. "I think-

Before she could finish those words everything went black and she could hear the faint screams of Jack and the kids.
