I was rushing around all day, it was coming and soon, I didn't know who to phone or what to do, in fact at first I didn't even know what was going on; I guess the puddle on the floor kind of explained it. And yet, I wasn't sure if I was ready.

"Honey, are you alright in there?" Linda calls through the bathroom door.

"Yeah, I'm fine, but I think I need some help." I reply placing my hands on my stomach.

"With what?"

"Getting to the hospital."

I wasn't even working, I had been on maternity leave fore about three weeks now, but I came in today just to say hi, and well I thought I ate some bad Mexican food at lunch, I guess eating spicy food a day after your due date isn't that smart.

I was rushed out of the café and I saw Juliet outside the clinic talking to Jack I saw her point me out and they watched as my friends ushered me into the car as I screamed bloody murder, then they drove me to the hospital. I was greeted by Jack when I got out.

"Honey!" He said sitting me down in a wheel chair. All of the oceanic 8 had gotten used to calling me Honey outside of Hurley's home.

My friends from the café, three of them to be exact, didn't know I knew Jack. And were trying to ward him off but I simply screamed. "Jack, don't you dare leave me!" When he started to back off.

My friends let him race me down the halls.

When I was in my room Jack went to phone everybody. Juliet was already there.

It was two hours later when everyone showed up. Everyone but him. The one that told me he'd be here for me. He was in Sydney doing his final day of filming.

"Push Kate!" Jack yelled as the doctors had also told me to do so. "Push!" HE yelled squeezing my hand. And then right before I heard him cry, right before I thought that I couldn't take it any more, that I was going to die, I said it.

"I love you Jack, I always have." Then there he was. My son, Thomas Austin Linhome.

"He awesome." Hurley said as he was passed the sleeping infant. Everyone stood in a circle Around the room, I was included in it. The order was me, Hurley, Sun, Jin, Claire (who had Aaron standing next to her.), Charlie, Juliet and then last but certainly not least Jack, who had been in the room when he was born. Tom was passed around the room.

Sawyer didn't get the message that he had a son until sometime the next day, when he flew back to LA. Everyone had gone home, except Jack. He still sat in my room on the chair sleeping. I was sleeping in the bed.

I woke up to the sound of him crying. I looked up to see Jack take him from the nurse saying that he'd wake me up. When he looked down he said briefly "Or not."

I sat up and pulled down my shirt to feed the baby. Jack just sat in the chair again as the nurse left.

"I heard what you said Kate." He said after a long moment.

I look up at him smiling. "What?"

"When he was born I heard what you said."

I pull up my shirt and hand him the baby. "And what did I say?"

He smiled at me. "You said that you loved me, always have."

"You didn't know that?" I ask looking shocked.

"I wasn't sure." He gets up and kneels in front of me handing Tom back.

I take the baby back in my arms and swayed back and forth. "Well now you are."

"I love you too Kate." He said and then he came closer to me only inches away from my lips.

Then suddenly; "I came as soon as I heard!" Sawyer yells running into the room, the nurse on his heal. Immediately the baby starts to cry from the sudden burst of sound and I look away from Jack and starts bouncing him in her arms.

"Sh." I say rocking him back and forth again. Jack stands up and smiles. "I kept her company during the birth don't worry." He turns to me. "Bye Honey." Then he leaves his cheeks red.

I look up at Sawyer and smile. "Hey." I say and he drops his brief case and walks towards me.

"Hey. Did you name him?"

"Yah His name is Thomas or Tom as Jack and I have been calling him, Austin, you know his real last name, Linhome." I hand him to Sawyer.

"Tom?" HE says suddenly remembering the raft and getting shot in the arm, Walt being taken.

"Yeah, he was the only man I ever trusted growing up. Tom Brennan was his name. And it's my fault he's dead." Sawyer nodded familiar with the story.

He sat on the edge of my bed rocking the baby for almost an hour before he came in.

"This is awesome footage for the people back on the island." He says with the camera to his eye.

"Michael!" I exclaim taking Tom back in my arms.

He lowers the camera. "Yeah Ben got me to come and film for Alex, Ben's here. He's thinking of taking you guys back now."

Sawyer had already dialed the number on his phone. HE was phoning Hurley and getting Hurley to phone everyone else, they needed to come now.

When they got there they were surprised to see Alex in there holding the baby and Michael had set the camera on the side-table still filming the whole thing. Ben was also standing in the door way.

"Juliet!" Alex exclaimed handing Tom back to Kate and getting up to embrace Juliet.

"Alex! Look how much older you look." Juliet said smiling and hugging her back.

Then she turned to Ben and smiled slightly. "Hello Ben." She said and Ben smiled taking her hand and shaking it.

"Hello Juliet it's good to see you again."

Then they all turned to Michael who was now holding Tom. Jin was the first to greet him. He bowed. "Michael." HE said smiling.

Michael handed Tom to Sawyer who was still sitting on the foot of my bed.

Jack smiled awkwardly at me and I smiled back.

Three days later I sat in Hurley's living room along with everyone else. Sun had brought Ji-Yeon and was sitting with her. Ji-Yeon was a month and a half older than Tom. Charlie had Aaron in his lap. Jack was holding Tom. Ben sat in front of them all.

"So you guys are ready to go back right?" He asks smiling.

They all nod and he leads them outside the house and they all get into a limo. They had brought bags, small things they might need, mostly baby clothes.

They were brought to a small building that was on the beach and taken under ground. They were about to get onto a submarine when Juliet stopped. "Wait!" She said. "I can't go; I can't leave her again, my sister that is to say.

"Jules." Jack said looking up at her.

"Jack you go, be with Kate." She said smiling. Sawyer looked at her and thought; did he really want to leave? What about Cassidy, after a couple of weeks back home him and Cassidy had gotten back together, they were in love, she told him that he would be back soon. He loved his daughter too. But was he willing to give up Kate and Tom for Clementine and Cassidy? Kate had Jack, but Cassidy had no one.

"I can't go either." He decided standing beside Juliet. "Take care of her for me Doc." He gave Tom a kiss on the head and Jack took Kate's hand.

"I was planning to do that anyway." Sawyer smirked at him and Jack just smiled back.

"Come one then the ones of you that are going." Ben said from the submarine.

Then it hit me. Where was Alex? Where was Michael?

They got back to the beach and ran for the camp. Sayid wasn't too happy to see him but he instantly forgot when she held up a picture of the baby in Kate's arms. Jack on one side of her Sawyer on the other. Then everyone else was standing around.

"Here. It's a video we made." Alex said handing it to Sayid.

Once again a group trekked into the Jungle towards the hatch. They found Locke sitting in it watching the video the oceanic 8 had made at a dinner party.

They watched the video and by the end some people were in tears.

"He's beautiful." Rose said wiping tears out of her eyes.

"Yeah he is." A familiar voice said from the back of the small over crowded room. Everyone looked Back to see if there ears had deceived them, had they really heard him? They all looked to see their old hero, leader doctor sitting on the ladder Kate above him. He was holding Tom. Sun and Jin were on the floor. Claire was above Kate and Charlie and Aaron were standing with Sun and Jin who had Ji-Yeon.

A/N: I think there is going to be at least one chapter and then an epilogue...maybe. I'm just kind of getting bored of writing this story. Yes I know Kate's last name is spelt Austen, but I think that Austin looks better
