Chapter 7-Kindergarten
Disclaimer: I don't own LOST.
A/N: I am so sorry for the long wait guys. I didn't mean to do that to you. I've had a terrible block, and I've decided to mix things up a little. There's gonna be a time jump. A five year time jump to be exact. I hope you like it. There will be some flashbacks in here too so that you guys can get a feel of stuff that happened.
"Nicole! It's time to wake up!" Kate stood at the foot of the stairs, with her hand on her stomach.
"Jack!" Kate turned and ran right into Jack. "Hey. Could you get your daughter up?"
"It's her big day huh?"
"Yep."
"How are you?"
Kate shook her head. "The morning sickness is horrible today."
Jack gave her a sympathetic look before glancing up the stairs where Nicole was standing with her teddy bear in her arms. "I don't wanna go to school daddy."
"Why not pumpkin?" Jack put a comforting hand on Kate's shoulder before walking up the stairs. He sat down on the top stair and Nicole buried her head in Jack's shoulder. Jack stroked the young girl's long brown hair.
"I'm scared."
"You don't have to be scared. You're gonna make lots of friends and when you get home this afternoon mommy's gonna be right there."
"Can't you come with me?"
"Now you know daddy has to work today."
"You always have to work."
"Well aren't you a smart one." Jack pulled her away from him and looked into her green eyes. They looked just like Kate's. "Now Daddy wants you to get your clothes that mommy picked out for you all right?"
"Will Tia be there?"
Jack smiled. Nicole had become great friends with Sun and Jin's youngest daughter.
"Yes Tia will be there and so will Sara."
"Auntie Claire?" Nicole said hopefully.
"Yes Claire will be there with Sara."
"Yay." Nicole started to go to her bedroom but then Jack called her.
"What?"
"Come give daddy a kiss okay."
Nicole giggled and ran back to Jack, giving him a sloppy kiss on the cheek. "Ow. Daddy! You said you were going to get the whiskers off!"
"Sorry hun. I've been busy."
Nicole went into her bedroom, and Jack glanced down the stairs where Kate was smiling at him.
"And how's our boy doing?" Jack asked as he walked down the stairs, placing a hand on Kate's stomach.
"He's kicking."
"You think he'll be a soccer boy?"
"No he'll be a football boy like his father." Kate said with a grin.
Suddenly they heard a bark, and then the golden retriever appeared from around the corner.
"Come here boy!" Jack said, and the dog quickly scampered over to Jack.
Jack bent down and pet the dog. "You're a good boy."
"You have to feed him Jack."
"Right." Jack stood up and called the dog. "Come on Sawyer."
Kate shook her head as the dog ran after Jack. She remembered when they had told Sawyer that they had named the dog after him.
(Flashback)
It had been two years ago when they had gotten the dog. They had brought it home, and Sawyer and Cassidy had come over that night with Clemetine who was nine at the time, because she wanted to see him.
"Hey there boy!" Clementine laughed as the puppy eagerly licked Clementine's face.
Jack stood with Kate behind the couch while Cassidy and Nicole, who was three, sat on the ground. Sawyer stood next to Kate as he watched them.
"Doggie!" Nicole giggled as the puppy bounded over to her. Suddenly the puppy bit Nicole's hand, and she burst into tears.
Kate quickly went to her and picked her up. "It's okay honey." She brought her back over with Jack and Jack took her hand. "Daddy will kiss it better."
"The puppy didn't mean to do that honey. You're going to have to be careful with him okay sweetie?" Kate said as Nicole cried in her shoulder. Kate rubbed her back and finally Nicole stopped crying.
"Do you want to get down again and play with the dog?"
Nicole thought for a second then she nodded.
Kate set her down and she wobbled over to the dog. "Bad doggie!" Nicole said.
Everyone else laughed as the dog barked at Nicole. "Bad doggie!" Nicole walked back over to Kate with a determined look on her face, and Kate picked her up.
"I can sure see you in her Freckles." Sawyer commented.
Jack grinned and Kate looked at her little girl. She was so proud of her.
"So have you picked out a name yet?" Sawyer asked.
"Jack's going to pick it. He's taking forever though."
"No I know what I'm going to name him."
"What?" Sawyer asked.
Jack walked over to the puppy and picked him up. Jack rubbed the dog's head and the dog panted. "Good dog Sawyer."
"What?" Sawyer asked in disbelief.
"Yeah you heard me."
Sawyer shook his head. "I'm going to name a rat after you Jack."
And sure enough, a week later Sawyer got a hamster and named it Jack.
