Chapter 10:

After Charlie had left her she sat there for a while thinking about their conversation, thinking about staying on the island, then suddenly she heard again a person coming.
She looked up and saw Jack arriving.

„Hey!"

„Hey!"

„Are you ok?", Jack asked.

„Yes." She looked at him. „Has Charlie told you to look for me, or...?"

„Charlie? No, have he been here?", Jack asked interested.

„Yes, and he tried to convince me to come to the beach, taking part at their beach party.", Kate replied.

Jack smiled. „Well, I didn't met Charlie, but beach party sounds great, right?"

Kate watched at him, she loved the way his eyes glowed when he smiles.

„Right.", Kate said.

Jack nodded content then he helped her to stand up.

After a 5 minute verbal quarrel about the fact if Jack should carry her or she should walk on her own they agreed that she will walk on her own and he will support her. In this posture they started their way through the jungle.

The near they came to the beach the louder became the voices they heard, then when they finally arrived the beach they also saw what was going on and for a few minutes they just stand there next to each other, Kate leaned on Jack, watching the scene in front of them.

„One, two, three, four...", Charlie cried. Then they all started singing.

„We're gooooooooooing home,
we're gooooooooooing home, home, home!"

They were all standing in a half circle and were singing to the music Charlie was playing on his guitar. He himself was the loudest and he smiled all over his face. He was completely in his element. Next to him stand Claire with her little son in her arms. She smiled at Charlie who seemed to be so happy while playing his guitar.
Sun and Jin were also standing next to each other. Jin's left hand touched Sun's stomach and he whispered something Korean in his wife's ear who started giggling.

„And now up with your arms, friends!", Hurley screamed and started to swing his arms in the rhythm of their song.
The others followed his example.

„And again everybody!", Charlie cried with shining eyes.

„We're gooooooooing home!
We have survived!
We're still alive!
We're going home!"

Charlie smiled a bit more when he saw Kate and Jack arriving. He was relieved that Jack managed to bring her finally to the beach.
And there was somebody else who was very relieved to see Kate arriving.

„Freckles!", Sawyer cried when he was seeing her coming.

He was sitting far away from the others in a chair next to his tent.

„Finally you're arriving! We really need a neutral arbitrator, who knows what she says."

Kate and Jack came near to the singing group of people they called their friends.

„What are you talking about, Sawyer?", Kate asked confused.

„Sawyer is annoyed that we forbid him to sing with us!", Hurley explained.

Kate looked a bit confused.

„Why can't he sing with you?", she asked.

Sawyer started to smile. „ Yes, that's the big question, right. Not that I am wild about singing with this...idiots, but I don't let anyone forbid me anything.
So, Freckles, tell them what has to be said!"

Kate looked confused from Hurley to Sawyer.

„He can't sing, he really can't!", Hurley said determined.
„As he tried to sing with us, nobody could sing together any longer,...everybody was singing wrong because of HIM! It's impossible!"

Kate looked at Hurley and then at the others who seemed to agree with him.

„Well, Freckles, tell them..."

„Sorry, Sawyer, but I'll prefer staying out of that!" She shruged her shoulders apologetic. I also can't sing!"

„Is it really necessary that you can sing for your...your song?", Jack asked carefully.

„Well, no matter what you think about our song", Charlie said," if you would have heard Sawyer,...he...I wouldn't call that singing!"

Charlie earned a spiteful look of Sawyer, but most of the others were giggling.
Kate smiled a bit but then looked at Sawyer and there was a bit compassion in her eyes.

„So, what about going on, guys?", Charlie cried again, then they all started again singing their song.

Kate smiled while watching them all singing. Jack next to her had also a smile on his face, then he leaned his head in Kate's direction and whispered: „ You lied!"

Kate looked at him confused, didn't know what he was talking about.

„ I lied??"

„ Yes, you said you can't sing, but that's wrong, you CAN sing, even very beautiful!", Jack whispered while his lips nearly touched her right ear.

Kate watched him a while then she smiled.

„Yes?...And how do you want to know that?"

Jack grinned.

„ I heard you singing this baby song to Aaron, you remember?"

Kate looked at Jack and for a few seconds they both looked into the others eyes.

„Yes, I do remember that day.", Kate whispered, then she looked to the ground.

„Hey, you both, what's about singing with us?", Hurley cried.

„Maybe Kate wants to take place!", Claire said. „ Remember she is injured!"

With this words Claire gave her little son to Charlie and came to Kate. „Are you ok?"

„I'm fine.", Kate answered. „ But I'll really prefer sitting down!"

„So, there's a place next to me, Freckles!", Sawyer offered and grinned at Kate. „ Here is the seat for the " non-singer"!"

„ You really want to sit next to this...guy?", Jack asked.

„ I'm sure he is not biting me!", Kate said and grinned at Jack.

Jack nodded then he helped her walking to Sawyer's tent.

„Specially for you, Freckles!", Sawyer said while he left his one chair and took place on the ground next to the chair.
