AN: Hey! I'm finally getting chapter two up!!! Yay me:P Anyway…. This chapter is kind of interesting. It's not a major chapter, but it will move the plot along a little bit. Thank you all for your reviews, and I hope you like this chapter!!!

Here we go….

"So, Sawyer I'm going to have to leave soon, and I know you will want to stay and talk to Kate for a little bit, so will you be ok finding a place to tonight? I won't be able to get up here again until tomorrow afternoon." Claire said watching Kate and Sawyer stare at each other awkwardly.

"Yeah." Sawyer said absent mindedly. He obviously hadn't expected seeing Kate again to have this big of an effect on him. The moment he had seen Kate he was amazed at how different she was now, but then again he wasn't very surprised, after all it had been four years.

"Mommy!" Jamine called running into the living room. The three adults were now sitting on the couches in the front room. Kate lifted Jamine up onto her lap.

"What's up baby?" Kate asked her daughter.

"I got bored. It's no fun to play all by myself." Jamine complained, "Will you come play with me?" Jamine obviously didn't care that Claire and Sawyer were still there.

"Not right now Jamine. I'll play with you soon though. Ok?" Kate said chuckling at her little girl. Jamine had always had other kids to ply with; other foster kids, or other kids at her daycare, but now it was just her and Kate. Jamine missed the other kids, but she loved the attention she got.

"Ok, Mr. Sawyer, will you play with me?" Jamine asked pleading for attention.

"Uh…." Sawyer said looking from Kate and Jamine to Claire and back.

"Go James." Kate said. "I need to talk to Claire before she goes. But as she said you're probably going to want to talk to me too." She set Jamine down.

Jamine ran over to the other couch where Sawyer was sitting and grabbed the pointer finger on his right hand. "Come on Mr. Sawyer. Come play with me."

"Uh… Well… You know, I ain't all that good at playing." Sawyer said lamely. He hadn't ever liked kids. Hell, he hadn't liked kids when he was a kid.

Jamine laughed, "Everyone is good at playing Mr. Sawyer. Even mommy's good at playin, but I had to teach her some. Uncle Jack's really good at playing. I bet you'll be even better than him!"

Kate laughed at her daughter's innocence. How she would love to be like that! To a girl Jamine's age there isn't anything to be worried about, except if everyone knows how to play. Then Kate thought about Jack. Kate had been very surprised to find that Jack was Jamine's latest foster father the day she got out of jail, and apparently Jack had planned it that way.

Flashback

"Katherine Austen?" the guard asked the three women in the cell. "Which one of you is Katherine Austen?"

"Me." Kate said sighing as she stood up.

"Your daughter's here, and after you're done talking to her you're free to go." The guard smiled at Kate kindly as he let her out of the cell.

Jamine's foster parents rarely brought her to see Kate. She had one foster dad that thought Jamine should see her whenever possible, but mostly only let Jamine come visit her when they first got her, or when they were sending her back to the foster home.

Today was different. Today Jamine was here to go home with Kate. That is if her foster parents would let her. Today Kate's three and a half year sentence ended, and Kate was allowed to go home.

The only problem with that was that she didn't have a home. Kate didn't know where Jamine and herself were going to live, but she knew they'd find somewhere.

When Kate went into the room she was told Jamine was she smiled. Standing there in the middle of the room, holding Jamine was Jack. She walked over to him and grabbed Jamine. Jack smiled at them and then said "Hey Kate, I bet you're glad to finally get out of here huh?" he asked. Kate smiled and nodded "Jack, if you brought Jamine that must mean you're her foster dad. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I wanted it to be a surprise. Jamie here has been living with me for about six months now. She's been spending time with Claire too. That's where she goes when I'm working." He said looking at her face.

"Thanks Jack." Kate said.

"I also thought you could live with me for a while; at least until you can find somewhere else and a job." Jack had thought of everything.

"That would be great Jack." Kate said Jack was now so close to her he could kiss her, and Kate decided that it was best to stop it. "Jack. Stop."

Jack didn't appear to hear her.

"Jack, I don't think living with you is a good idea." Kate said moving away from him.

Jack sighed knowing he had blown it. He backed away from Kate.

"I'll find a place to stay, and a job on my own." Kate said.

"Ok, but you know they won't let you take Jamine from me until you do." Jack said.

"I know." Kate said sadly. She kissed Jamine on the cheek and left.

End Flashback

Sawyer had been upset with the fact that Kate had obviously spent some amount of time around Jack, but he covered it with a look of indifference before Kate or Claire noticed. He got up and reluctantly went to go play with Jamine.

Jamine led Sawyer to the back of the apartment and into a room full of little things. He was told to sit on the little bed while she taught him how to play with the little toys.

Sawyer had never seen such a happy little girl. She sat on the floor showing him how to play with her little dolls, and he sat on the bed watching, but not paying attention. He was too busy studying Jamine.

He had a sudden realization that Jamine had to be his daughter. It wouldn't take a genius to figure that out. Kate had gone straight to jail – just like he had – after they were rescued, and Kate had only been with one person on the island… Him.

She looked like him as well; the dirty blond hair, the blue eyes. Jamine looked almost just like him, except she had Kate's face. The combination created the happiest, most beautiful little girl he had ever seen.

"Mr. Sawyer?" Jamine asked pulling him out of his thoughts.

"What?" Sawyer asked looking at Jamine's toys.

"I asked you if you wanted to play with Jenny or Maria." She said holding up two similar looking dolls.

"How about you choose." Sawyer suggested amazed that he was actually doing this.

"Ok, you can play Maria. She's my favorite." Jamine handed Sawyer a blond haired doll.

"Hi Maria!" Jamine said pretending to make her doll walk towards Sawyer.

"Uh… Hello." Sawyer said.

"No! You have to do this." Jamine said demonstrating.

Kate looked at Claire. She was angry, and Claire knew she had every right to be. Kate had asked Claire to never let Sawyer meet Jamine. Kate didn't want Sawyer to know about her daughter, because she knew that if he saw her he would be able to figure out that she was his.

"Why?" Kate asked simply knowing Claire would understand what she meant.

"Because Kate. Sawyer came by unexpectedly today and Jamine met him. He's been telling me for weeks now that he was going to come see you, and when I said I needed to take Jamie home he said he wanted to come." Claire said "It didn't matter, because he had already met Jamine. He wants to get to know you again. It's been four years Kate. Don't tell me you didn't miss him at all."

Kate sighed. "I know Claire, but I just wasn't ready yet. I mean I've only been out of jail for six months. I can't deal with this yet."

"And why is that?" Claire asked, and after a few moments added, "I don't think you would ever have been ready."

Kate knew Claire had a point, but she didn't want to admit it. "I would've eventually." She said.

"What? When she turned thirty?" Claire raised her eyebrows. "He knows now ok. That's all that matters, and he obviously wants to get to know her. I mean he's back there playing with her. I've never seen Sawyer play with kids."

Kate nodded. She looked at the clock and saw that it was six thirty. Claire saw too, and stood up. Kate walked Claire to the door. "Charlie and I will bring Sawyer his care tomorrow. Have him call me and tell me where he's staying ok?"

"Ok." Kate said.

"Thanks for letting Jamine come over today." Claire said smiling at her friend.

"Thanks for taking her." Kate replied. Claire left and Kate shut the door. She walked back into Jamine's room to see that Sawyer and Jamine were playing with Jamine's dolls. Kate laughed and the two looked at her.

"What's so funny freckles?" Sawyer asked. Kate shook her head.

"Nothing." She said leaning on the door frame." Have you eaten James? Jamine and I always have spaghetti on the days she's spend with Claire. You're welcome to join us."

Yeah… Any suggestions?
