Locke nodded. "I was wondering when you were going to ask me that."
"Tonight we go." she said. He nodded.
"Tonight we go." he repeated and trailed off. Kate smiled, it would all be okay, she thought to herself. Kate was walking along the beach and saw Sayid watching the waves.
"Sayid, I need Rousseau." she said. He did not ask questions, he did not say a word, but got up and he and Kate went into the forest.
"Danielle." he yelled. They heard running, the footsteps stopped and they saw Rousseau standing in front of them holding a rifle to their heads. Sayid smiled, when she didn't care about being found by the right people, she was an easy target.
"You're back." exclaimed Rousseau. Kate nodded. She walked closer.
"I need to send a message." Kate said. "To them." she added. Rousseau understood. "Tell me and I promise that it will be found by the right people." she answered.
"Walk the line." replied Kate, and Rousseau was gone.
"Thanks." Kate said to Sayid.
"Do you need any help?" asked Sayid curiously and smiled. Kate shook her head and returned the smile. After Kate was gone, Sayid turned to follow Danielle's path.
Kate had got ready and now she was looking for Locke.
"Kate." whispered a hidden voice in the trees. Kate turned and saw Rousseau who was hiding a smile.
"They got it. I'm sure." she assured. "They sent this back." Rousseau explained fruitlessly. She held out her hand and opened it slowly. A tiny piece of paper way there and Kate took it. It read:
Walk the Line
Kate smiled. "Thank you." said Kate, then she looked up, but Danielle fragile body was not there. "Rousseau." Kate yelled. "Alex, I know where she is." but Danielle never heard the words she longed to here. Kate turned and saw jack and Sawyer by the water. She went the opposite way. Then she noticed Locke's sturdy figure lying on the sand. He saw her and got up quickly on his feet.
"I've bin waiting." he said and they headed into the forest. Jack and Sawyer noticed this in seconds.
"Kate, where are you going?" Jack asked seriously and Kate just looked at him.
"To the line." she answered. Sawyer stood there with a quizzical expression.
"Why?" he asked suspiciously.
"To talk." she said. To them, she thought, but the words couldn't escape her mouth. She looked away from the two men.
"No." exclaimed Sawyer in anger. "You're not going." he walked closer to her.
"Yes, she is." inputted Locke, who had come out of the shadows and stepped between Kate and Sawyer.
"Well, then we're coming with you." added Jack to Locke raising his eyebrows, waiting for him to disagree. Locke and Kate just kept walking and jack and Sawyer followed close to Kate. Sawyer stopped and took Kate's hand and she turned around and looked at him.
"Why are ya doing this Freckles?" Sawyer asked with his eyebrows raised, but also in a worried tone. "They could-" he paused. "They could take you away." he added and looked away.
"They won't. I promise." Kate replied saying uncertainly and squeezed his hand harder. He sighed and they both kept walking. Kate caught up to Locke, leaving Jack and Sawyer to walk silently, beside each other.
"We're here." said Locke and halted abruptly.
"So are we." Tom said coming out of the darkness. "You called us Kate?" he added smiling; Jack just looked at Kate worriedly.
"It's done." Kate answered, now with tears dripping down her swollen face.
"Are you ready to come back then?" Tom asked looking questionably in her eyes. Kate just nodded silently and walked up to Tom. Sawyer and Jack began to follow, but Kate put her hand out and said. "No." without looking at them. The she turned and looked from Sawyer to Jack. "Do not come to get me, do not follow me or we will all die." she pleaded. Kate knew they would not listen to her but, she had to try. Then she continued to walk.
"Kate." yelled Jack, but he didn't move. Sawyer said nothing, but he ran to Kate's side.
Holding a gun to Kate's head, Tom looked at Sawyer. "Do you want her dead?" he asked. Sawyer looked at Kate, she was crying, lots.
"I-I can't leave you now, with your-" he paused for a second, glancing at Tom. "Your condition." he finished.
"Sawyer, he knows, they know." Kate said. "They all know. Let's go Tom." she said and left Sawyer angry and confused. Sawyer walked back to Locke and Jack. "She's gone and he knows. They all know. That she's pregnant." Sawyer explained slowly, sadly.
They had walked back to the camp, not revealing the events of the night to their remaining castaways.
"John." Jack yelled towards the man. "Did you know Kate was going to go with Tom?" Jack asked angrily. Locke held his sturdy figure.
"Yes. I knew." he replied with out looking away from the ocean, thinking.
"Then why did you let it happen?" Jack now screaming, he saw Charlie walking slowly up to them and he unclenched his fists.
"Everything alright mate?" Charlie asked Jack and Locke. They both nodded with a hint of nervousness and Charlie noticed this silently. He walked back over to Claire, looking at them over his shoulder, not knowing what to do. Jack then looked back at Locke.
"Why did you let it happen?" Jack repeated a little less angry.
"Because it's fate." John replied, looking at him and he raised his eyebrows, almost mocking Jack. "It was meant to happen." Locke added seriously and walked away slowly.
"IT WAS MEANT TO HAPPEN?" Jack yelled so loudly, castaways' heads turned rapidly looking at the man wonderingly. "You let her got go because it was meant to happen?" Jack cried, but Locke kept walking and ignored him. Jack walked furiously in to the forest.
He was going to save her, save her and bring her back, bring Kate back. He was going alone and he was going to save his baby. He headed towards where he had come from, or thought he had come from.
"I'm coming with you." said Jack. Sawyer thought about this for a minute and he knew there was no fighting with Jack.
"Okay." Sawyer nodded. "But we're going now." he emphasized. Jack nodded and followed him.
"It's this way." Jack remarked.
"What?" Sawyer asked loudly, now annoyed with Jack's company.
"The OTHERS, they're that way." Jack answered pointing to the right.
"Are they now?" Sawyer asked with a sarcastic tone. "How do you know?" Sawyer asked awaiting an answer.
"Because I walked here from there." Jack replied.
