Author's Note: Thanks for all the kind reviews. Some of you have asked if there will be the Alex/Karl ship. This chapter is dedicated to you guys! And this chapter is dedicated to hersheygal, because of what will happen at the end of the chapter. I would also like to note that I am a Catholic although I write things that would make me seem anti-Catholic. If I offend someone, I am sorry. Like I said I am a Catholic although cussing and other things do not bother me. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the chapter everyone!

"Hey! Jack!" Karl yelled, running over to me. I stopped and glanced at him.

"Hey Karl. What's up?" I asked.

He stopped in front of me. "Have you seen Alex?" Karl questioned.

I shook my head. "No, why?"

"Well, because she disappeared during your speech. And she hasn't been back since."

"Are you worried about her?"

Karl nodded. "Yeah…I really care about her. You know what she's been talking about lately?"

I shook my head.

"She's been talking about her mom. Her birth mother. She told me that she met her real mother once before. And Alex told me that she wanted to meet her mom again. Ever since she said that, she's been disappearing into the jungle. And I haven't been able to find her. She'll disappear and then I'll find her hours later all happy and giddy. I'm honestly worried about her Jack. I really really care about her. You don't even know how much I care for her. What do you think I should do? If she is looking for her real mother…is she safe out there, Jack?" Karl explained.

I put my hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry. She'll be fine. If Alex is with her real mom she will be very safe," I reassured.

He sighed and nodded. "You're right Jack. Thank you."

"You're welcome." Then I continued to walk to my tent.

I walked into my own tent and saw a woman lying on my bed. She was awake and staring at the ceiling.

"Hey," I said slowly, walking over to the bed.

Naomi looked at me. "Hey," she said weakly. "Who're you?" she added.

"I'm Jack. The," I struggled at the words. "I'm the resident doctor," I managed to say.

"Are you a real doctor?"

I nodded. "I'm a spinal surgeon." Then I crouched in the sand and looked at her. "I'm gonna need you to answer a few questions for me," I said.

Naomi moved to look at me better and groaned. "Oww…okay. What do you need to know?"

I sighed. "how did you get to this island? Who are you working for? Is your boat really eighty miles away? Do you have a satellite thing like people have told me?"

Naomi sighed in turn. "I was in a helicopter. It crashed in the ocean. Before it crashed I ejected myself and landed her on this island. I work for a search and rescue company. Our company was hired by a girl named Penelope Widmore. She was rich, I suppose. Our company's not that cheap to hire. Yeah, my boat is eighty miles away. We've been looking for Desmond for awhile now. But all we've been doing is going in circles. That was until my helicopter crashed. Then this island just…was here. I have a satellite phone to communicate with my boat. But I can't get in contact with my boat from this island. Something's blocking the signal."

I groaned. "There is a radio tower somewhere on this island. And there is something that is blocking the signal. It's called The Looking Glass. I don't know that much about it yet. But I will find out. I have to do other things but I'll be back tomorrow to check on you."

I left Naomi and headed back to Kate's tent.

When I entered the tent, Sawyer was in there sitting on the bed. He was stroking Kate's hair, and I noticed he looked worried. I cleared my throat and he turned.

"Hey, Doc," he said.

"Sawyer, what the hell are you doing?"

"I'm…I was looking for you. I'm…worried…" he mumbled the rest but I couldn't understand him.

Well, I thought, I don't have to look for him. I can just talk to him now.

"Sawyer, I want to talk to you about Kate."

He looked at me. "Okay," he said.

I sighed and glanced at Kate before I looked at Sawyer again.

"Sawyer, she's scared of you."

"What? No, Doc. She's not scared of me. She loves me."

I sighed. This was going to be harder than I thought.

"Sawyer…just back off, okay? She's sick because of you. She's scared of you."

"Why the hell is she afraid of me?"

"She's afraid of what you'll do."

"Why? I won't do anything to her. I love her."

"Sawyer, she doesn't love you."

He stared at me shocked and confused. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"She loves me," I said slowly.

Sawyer looked down at the sleeping Kate, and then glared up at me.

"You son of a bitch."

I looked at him. "How am I a son of a bitch?"

Sawyer looked at me at a loss of words. Then he stood up and left the tent.

I sat down on the bed and stroked Kate's hair. She stirred and opened her eyes.

"Mhm…hey." Kate turned and looked at me.

"Hey. I talked to Sawyer."

She sat up and looked at me surprised.

"Really? Oh God, Jack. Did he hurt you? What happened? Oh God, I wish you hadn't talked to him. What did he say? What did you say? When did you talk to him? Jesus Christ, Jack…" she rambled. As she talked her hands ran through her hair.

"Kate, it's okay. He was just in here. He came before I got back from talking to Naomi," I said, leaving out the fact that he stroked her hair.

She doesn't need to throw up again, I thought smugly.

"I told him that you were scared of him. And I told him that you love me," I explained.

Kate's jaw dropped and she covered her mouth. "Oh God, Jack. He's gonna be after you…he really loves me. Jesus, Jack. Why the hell did you have to say that?"

I hugged Kate and sighed. "It's okay, Kate. Don't worry about it. Everything will be fine. We'll be fine. And besides, we might get rescued soon anyway."

Kate glanced up at me. "So Naomi is on a rescue mission?" she asked.

"She was hired to find Desmond. She has a satellite phone to communicate with her ship. But that one station-The Looking Glass- I think it's blocking all communication to us. I haven't thought of a plan for The Looking Glass yet. But I know we will have to do one thing."

"What will we have to do?"

"Go to the radio tower that Rousseau recorded her distress at."

Kate sighed and hugged me tighter.

"Oh God, Jack. Everything seems so dangerous."

"I know, Kate. I know. But everything will be alright in the end."

"You sure?"

"I'm positive."

Kate put her hand on my face and kissed my lips.

I kissed her back and squeezed her waist.

She pulled away. "I know why I threw up earlier."

"Why?"

"Because Sawyer said I was his girl. That was horrible. I don't love him. I love you. That just made me sick to my stomach. I won't be his girl ever. I'm your girl, Jack."

I smiled. "I love you too, Kate." Then I kissed her again.

"Alex is missing," I said once we pulled away.

Kate gasped. "When did she go missing?"

"During my speech. Karl told me."

"Where do you think she is?"

"Looking for Rousseau is my best guess."

Kate sighed. She was silent for a moment for a moment before smiling. "You know what we should do?" she said.

"What?" I asked.

"Go and kiss in front of Sawyer."

"Kate, you said he'd kill me."

"Just to rub it in though. Wouldn't that be fun?" she said, smirking.

"I think I know something that would be more fun," I replied, returning the smirk.

"Oh? What could possibly be more fun than getting Sawyer to have another outbreak?"

"I think I know one thing."

Kate smiled. I began to kiss her neck and I pulled her onto my lap. Kate leaned her head back as I played with her shirt. I managed to pull her shirt off and my kisses traveled down her body. She moaned and my fingers fumbled with her jeans.

Kate took off my shirt as I kissed her breasts. Kate sighed as she took off my jeans. I kissed her neck, and her stomach.

"Oh, Jack," she murmured, kissing my chest.

I smiled to myself as I kissed her breasts again.
