Kate looked down at Jack. His eyes were sparkling the way they always did when he looked at her. This was the moment Kate had been waiting forever since her and Jack had first kissed. Jack was being to look worried. The castaways around them began to mumble. Kate smiled and replied softly.

"Of course,"

Jack jumped up off the floor and picked her up in a huge hug.

"You had me scared!" said Jack as they broke apart and he put the ring on her finger. Everyone around them began to clap and scream. Many people chanted "About time, Jack!" Kate laughed as Charlie and Claire came over to them and hugged them.

"Dude," said Charlie pulling at Jack's arm. "That took longer then a couple of minutes. Next time wait until after the reception." Charlie laughed again and gave Jack another hug.

"Oh my god", said Claire. "You are going to have to let me help you plan the wedding! I love doing this stuff." Claire's eyes were so wide with idea. "I think a wedding on the beach!"

Kate smiled; it had all started on the beach after all that's where the new life they shared together should begin also. She and Claire would have to get together later to discuss it. "You will be my maid of honor won't you?" replied Kate.

Claire's face broke into a huge smile. "Of course!" she said and the two of them hugged again. "We are going to have so much fun!"

They all turned around when the music had stopped. The music stopped and the D.J. announced that it was time for Mr. and Mrs. Pace's first dance. Charlie smiled and grabbed Claire's hand he lead her out onto the floor, Aaron had also decided to join them, and was dancing with Claire's mom. Claire had but her arms around Charlie's neck and her head against his chest. Then the music became slower and the D.J. invited everyone else on the floor. Jack grabbed Kate's hand.

"May I have this dance," he asked with an odd twinkle in his eyes.

"Yes, you may Mr. Shepard.", replied Kate smiling as she followed Jack onto the dance floor. She didn't look into his eyes but instead she put her head on his chest and closed her eyes. She listened to his heart beating. She remembered the time when he had been stuck in the cave with Charlie that had been the worst thing that had ever happened. Kate had been falling in love with Jack. She thought about the fact that she had never told him her feelings. But then he came out alive…she decided not to love…she couldn't. What if something had happened to him? Kate could not bear to think…but then Jack began to fall in love with her. Before she knew what was happening she had been swept off her feet. Now…she was going to be Mrs. Jack Shepard. She had found the love the some people only dream of receiving. Kate's one wish had come true…she and Jack would be there together…forever….

The music stopped. Kate looked up at Jack and saw him smiling back down towards her. He bent down and kissed her. She kissed him back. He broke apart.

"And you got mad a me for breaking a kiss over a shirt?" she said jokingly poking him in the chest. "Gimme your reason…?"

"I was thinking," said Jack the corners of his mouth turning up in the smile innocent grin Kate loved so much. "That we could go upstairs…back to our room…"

"Sounds like fun…"she said looking around to see the dance floor covered in people. "Do you think anyone would notice if we went missing?"

"Maybe…" said Jack, "But who cares…"

Jack took Kate's hand and led her off the dance floor. They went all the way up to their room. Once the door was closed she came up next to him and kissed him. He put his hands around her and began to unzip her dress. Kate broke away from him…

"I'm going to go into the bathroom," said Kate seeing the disappointment in his eyes, and smiling." I'll be right back. Try not to miss me too much."

"I'll try," replied Jack softly. "But I won't promise anything."

Kate smiled and went into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Jack sat down on the bed. He laid his head back on the headboard and waited for Kate. Jack closed his eyes…remembering his and Kate's first kiss.

Jack had just gotten out of the cave with Charlie. Kate didn't notice and continued to pull rocks away from the entrance. Suddenly she heard Walt say that the doctor was back. Kate jumped up and ran over to Jack. She jumped into his arms. Which surprised both her and Jack. Kate got off him when she heard him cry in pain. He told her that his shoulder had been dislocated.

Later Kate came up to Jack who was sitting alone by the fire. She gave him a sling for his arm. She smiled so big when he told her that he loved it that his heart got caught in his throat. She did not say anything, but looked into the fire.

"You know," she said after a while. "I was afraid that you were dead when Sawyer told me you were in the cave…"

"Oh, really? I was surprised I didn't die," Jack replied trying not to sound so pathetic. "I thought about you a lot when I was in there though."

"Jack…" said Kate turning around to face him.

"I'm sorry" he interrupted. "If that seemed to forward…I understand that we have only been on this island for little more then a week, but you see, I really care about you Kate."

"Jack," said Kate smiling. "If hadn't interrupted me I was just about to say the same thing about you and that when you were in the cave, I thought about you every second.

"Kate" said Jack leaning towards her. He looked into her eyes and saw the fire dancing in them. He saw in her eyes something that he had never seen before, someone who needed him, someone who he could spend the rest of his life with. He continued. "I am going to kiss you now."

"You better" replied Kate just before there lips met. Jack slid his uninjured arm up her shirt and Kate put her hands on the sides of his neck. Their kisses became more passionate. Kate opened her mouth slightly and met Jacks tongue with hers. They had just said everything to each other…everything was good…

Jack opened his eyes. How long had he been asleep? He looked at the clock…fifteen minutes. Where was Kate? Jack looked around, from what he could see Kate had not left the bathroom yet. Jack got up and walked over to the door. He knocked on it and waited. No answer. He knocked again and tried to turn the doorknob. It was locked.

"Kate, sweetie, are you okay?" asked Jack thorough the door his voice getting worried, still no answer. "Kate, if you don't answer me I am going to break down the door."

Kate did not answer. Jack went back by the bed and picked up the phone and called the front desk.

"Hello, this is Mandy, can I help you?"

"Yes," said Jack in a hurried voice. "Yes I need---Can you call down to the party room and tell Charlie and Sayid to come up here please, room 142, and can you call the police. My fiancé has had an accident."

"Why should I call your friends?" asked Mandy sounding annoyed.

"JUST DO IT!" yelled Jack into the phone and hung up.

He ran towards the door and smashed into it. It didn't move. It didn't even make a slight movement. His heart was pounding…these were precious seconds he was wasting. He tried again, but only ended up hurting himself. He tried over and over again, praying that Kate was all right. There had to be something wrong. She hadn't answered him…because she couldn't…there was no other explanation. A minute later Charlie and Sayid ran into the room, breathing heavy as they had just ran a marathon.

"What's wrong Jack?" asked Sayid looking extremely worried.

"Its Kate, something is wrong. She has been in there for about twenty minutes, but when I knocked there was no answer, the door is locked. I think she might be hurt."

"Okay," said Charlie. "Lets knock down this door!"

All three men hurled themselves into the door. It flung open. On the floor inside of the bathroom laid Kate. She was on the floor, still in her bridesmaid dress. The wall next to her and floor was covered in blood. There was a huge gash on the side of her head and on her arm. Charlie and Sayid gasped. Nobody could weather or not see was breathing. Jack went in to touch her. He had to help her. Sayid grabbed the back of his jacket.

"Don't touch her Jack," he said and Charlie put his hand on his shoulder." You could make it worse."

"I know," said Jack, they could now hear men running up the hallway towards the room. "She---I don't know what to do if ---"

"She will be okay," said Charlie as three paramedics came running in the door. They paramedics rushed over to Kate's body. "She is breathing" they heard one of the paramedics say as they put her onto a stretcher and cared her out of the room. Jack followed them, he ran down the hallway behind them. Jack prayed…Charlie had told Jack that Kate would be okay…Jack was not as sure…

To be continued.
