Sorry about the late update my computer deleted the story so I had to start with a new document.
Kate heard the familiar cry on the baby monitor. She sighed and pushed herself up. But a hand pushed her back down.
"I'll get him." Jack said. Kate sat herself up and pushed him back down.
"No, I'll do it. You took care of him last time." Kate said as she left the room. Jack shrugged and went back to sleep. Kate entered the baby's room. She gently picked him up.
"Shh, it's ok. Mommy's here." She said to him. She took him into the kitchen and took a bottle out of the fridge. She boiled some water in a saucer and set the bottle in the pan. She rocked him back and forth gently. After a while she took the bottle out and tested it. She felt it was warm enough and began to feed him. Charlie took most of his bottle. She laid an old rag on her shoulder and burped him. She sat with him for a few minutes admiring him. It had been a few months since his birth but he still had Kate's brown hair, more of it was growing in. He still had Sawyer's eyes. She thought when he grew older they would turn his shade of green. Jack came down the stairs he smiled when he saw Kate with the baby.
"What?" she asked.
"I just never pictured you being a mother."
"I never imagined I'd ever be in this position. But now that I am I wouldn't change it for anything." Kate smiled as Charlie yawned.
"Let's get you to bed." She said. She placed him gently in the crib and kissed him on the forehead.
"I love you." She said. Jack kissed him too.
"Night bud." Jack and Kate kissed each other and went back to their room. The next morning Kate was playing with Charlie as Jack made breakfast. She would blow raspberries on his stomach and he would laugh, gurgle, and kick. She laughed along with him. She loved everything about him. Kate was beginning to understand how much she could love someone. She would literally kill someone if they laid a finger on Charlie. Jack was beginning to love him too. He didn't care that he wasn't his biological child he loved him just as he was his own. He was glad to be with Kate. After breakfast the doorbell rang. Kate went to answer it with Charlie in her arms. Sawyer stood in the doorway.
"Oh, hi Sawyer." She said nervously.
"Hi, I uh read that you had the baby. Is this him?" he said smiling at Charlie.
"Yeah, this is him. Charles Samuel." She smiled at him.
"Do you want to hold him?" she asked.
"Uh, sure." Sawyer replied. She placed Charlie gently in his arms.
"Be sure to support his head." She reminded. Sawyer looked uncomfortable but happy at the same time. He handed him back to Kate.
"He's beautiful, just like his momma."
"Thank you." She smiled at Sawyer.
"Kate who's at the door?" Jack asked. He froze when he saw Sawyer.
"What are you doing here?" Jack said angrily.
"I just wanted to check on Kate and the baby. What are you doing here?" Sawyer said just as angry.
"I moved in to help Kate with the baby. That's what real fathers do you know."
"Jack" Kate said
"You know I'm going to head home. I'll talk to you later." Sawyer left and Kate turned to Jack angrily.
"Jack, that was over the line. He is Charlie's father and has a right to see him."
"Yeah, well where was he when he was born? Nowhere and where was I? I was in the room with you. I've been here since you told me about your pregnancy. What's he done for you? Nothing. He's just been living his life as if nothing happened. And I've sacrificed my whole life for Charlie because I love him and because I love you." Jack stormed off. Kate ran into Charlie's room shut the door and began to cry. She held Charlie close to her as tears fell down her face.
