Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I don't own LOST.
A/N: Sorry for not updating sooner. I've been sick for the last couple of days, but I'm doing better now! Thank you for sticking with it! Anyways, there's some Charlie/Claire-ish stuff in this chapter. I hope you don't mind.
The next day Kate watched Jack and Juliet walk along the shoreline hand in hand, and she was almost tempted to grab Sawyer and do the same thing. But she chided herself for it. She knew that she was being childish. She just had to forget about Jack.
She stood up and walked over to Claire, Charlie, and Aaron, who were sitting in their tent.
"Hey." She smiled.
"Hey." Claire smiled back.
"So can I sit here?" Kate motioned to the sand.
"Of course. So how are you doing Kate?" Claire asked.
"I'm doing ok."
"How's Sawyer?" Charlie asked with a hint of disgust in his voice.
Claire elbowed Charlie. "I'm sorry." Claire apologized.
"No it's all right." Kate smiled. "I know you all think I'm crazy for lo- for being with Sawyer." For some reason the word love got stuck in her throat. She tried not to think that it was because she didn't really love him.
"So what do you think about Jack and Juliet?" Charlie asked curiously.
"Charlie you're worse than a girl!" Claire reprimanded him.
" I think it great that Jack's found someone." Kate smiled. She was good at putting on fake smiles.
"Well that's good because I thought I saw Juliet in Jack's tent late last night." Charlie said.
"Really?" Kate tried to hide her jealousy. She knew that Charlie was watching her carefully. Between Charlie and Hurley she was never going to be with Sawyer in peace. They were determined to get Jack and Kate back together.
"Yeah."
"I don't remember that." Claire said.
"Well you were asleep." Charlie said.
Kate stood up. "Well it was nice talking to you. I'm glad your baby is growing to be such a happy boy."
Claire smiled apologetically." I'm glad we got to talk. I miss talking to you Kate."
Kate smiled and walked away.
"Did Juliet really go in Jack's tent last night?" Claire asked Charlie, because Claire had a hard time believing that Jack would fall for Juliet.
"No." Charlie grinned. "Are you kidding? Jack loves Kate. He's too heartbroken to go that far with Juliet."
"How do you know?"
"Well for starters, you and I have been together longer and you still won't let me in your tent at night."
Claire playfully slapped Charlie. "I have a baby. You know that's why."
"Right. Anyways, Hurley and I have a plan. Jack and Kate are too good together to not be together."
"Leave them alone Charlie. If they are meant to be together then it will happen."
"Oh that's right. You just believe that it's fate and that we're not supposed to mess with it. Well what if it's fate that Hurley and I get them together?" Charlie smiled mischievously at Claire, and Claire rolled her eyes.
