"Kate? I haven't heard from you forever. How are you?"
"Good, I've got something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I'm pregnant"
Jack was silent before he answered somberly "Sawyer's?"
Kate blinked back tears in her eyes "Yes"
She heard Jack sigh heavily before continuing "Is he with you now?"
Kate let the tears fall silently down her eyes "No, he said he's not ready to be a dad."
She knew Jack would be angry and she was right.
"What do you mean? He's not doing anything for you?"
"No Jack, he's sending me money and other things but he's not going to be part of the baby's life."
"I don't care. He's going to be a father and he needs to accept some responsibility for it." She heard him sigh angrily. "Have you had a check-up yet?"
Kate was glad for the change of subject. "Yes, I heard the baby's heartbeat. I want to know if it's a boy or girl so I can start decorating the room. I'm going back next week and I'm 16 weeks along. How long does it take to find out the baby's sex?"
"Most likely during the next check-up or the next one you'll find out. What are you hoping for?"
"I don't care as long as it's healthy but I'd get along better with a boy I think."
"Well maybe you'll get your wish. Do you have any names picked out?"
"I thinking the middle name Samuel if it's a boy for my dad and Cassidy if it's a girl for a friend."
"Does anyone else know besides Sawyer I mean?"
"No, do you know anything about Sun? If she had her baby?"
"No, I think she's close to her due date but she hasn't had the baby yet I don't think."
"I think I'll tell her next. I don't mean to cut the conversation short but I've got to be going."
"Ok, if you need anything Kate just call me."
"I will Jack. Goodbye."
"Bye Kate."
Kate hung the phone up. She was glad someone was there for her.
