Three months passed, and everything was going good. Kate was alone, but Jack and her were still best friends, she hadnt done anything to harm Jacks relationship with Juliet since that time with Sawyer, Sawyer and Juliet hadnt talked since the day she walked out of his hut, and Sawyer has been with Calire for a month now.Sharing his hut with Claire and little Aaron.Jack and Juliet were still together, still in love. Juliet still missed Sawyer, and he had never truely gotten over her but they learned to live without eachother. "Jack hurry up!" Juliet yelled to Jack who was inside the hut looking for some shorts to get in the water. Jack jumped out and ran to her, carrying her by the waiste into the water. She wrapped her legs around his hips and hung her head back laughing. Jacks heart started punding and he felt the familiar heat in his stomach starting to form. He walked them inside till the water was waist deep and then stopped and bent his knees. "I love you." He said kissing her forehead. "I love you more." She laughed, let go of his neck and started swimming away. "Think you can catch up Dr. Sheperd?" Jack laughed and started swimming towards her, he knew he could, but he also knew she was very fast. She started slowing down, waiting for him to reach her, once he caught up she locked her arms around his neck and nuzzled into him. Their feet couldnt touch the water and Jack had a hard time staying up long. "Jules dont do this to me here. I dont know how to do that thing." She pulled out of his chest and kissed his lips tenderly, "What? Eggbeat?" Then she lead her head to his ear and started kissing and sucking on him. "Jules, cmon. You like torturing me dont you?" She giggled, her lips ran to his, and her hands were now roaming over the top of his cock, the only thing inbetween them were his shorts. They then noticed there was a crowd of people heading to the beach, waving and calling them over, their faces panicking. They swam out as fast as they could and were met by Sayid and Locke. "Jack, Juliet, Kate... she, she's very sick"
"Whats wrong with her?" Juliet asked. Jack still taking in the information. "We dont know, she's sweating hard and cold, she cant talk that much, she looks terrible." "Where is she?" Jack managed to ask. "She's in her hut"
Jack ran towards Kates, and Juliet ran after him. They checked on Kate and Juliet knew what was wrong with her. "It's something she ate, I've seen it happen before." "What? This is because of food"
"Yes Jack, it's Botulism, the fruit must have been in contact with the dirt for a long time"
"Is it bad?" "Well... it's fatal"
"What do we do"
"All we can do here is make her drink alot of milk, and hope it works. Stay here with her, Ima go check if we still have powdered milk." Juliet ran out and had everyone prepare milk as fast as they could. Jack was sitting next to Kate, who was now shaking, sweating heavily, and he felt guilty. "Jack. Sorry. I. I." "Dont talk Kate, everythings going to be ok, were gonna fix you." "Kate closed her eyes, but felt Jack grab her and kiss her forehead, she heard him whisper into her. But she didnt understand. Juliet rushed back and found Kates head on Jacks chest, mouth open ready to start drinking.
Everybody was worried to death the whole day, night came and Kate was rocovering quite well. She could say small sentences already. "You scared all of us Kate." Juliet murmured to her. "Jack honey, Im gonna go let everyone know she's fine. Ill be back." She walked out, bet over him and kissed his lips, "Dont worry Jack, Shs's going to be ok." Juliet walked out and was hurdled by a group of people. "Jack, am I going to be ok?" "Yes Kate, Your going to be fine." Jack held her close to him, her face buried into his strong chest, she felt his muscles, his hair, she wondered why he was shirtless, but she didnt care, she didnt ask. This was the closest she has ever been to him, to feeling like she was his. They were alone, he was holding her, loving her, and for that time, there was no Juliet in between them. Juliet returned with some blankets, a shirt for Jack, and a pitcher of water.
"Thanks honey." Jack grabbed his shirt and rolled it over his body, he covered Kate with a blanket, and once again Kate felt alone.
"Jack, why dont you go home, you must be really tired. I'll stay with Kate tonight, and you come in the morning"
"No Juliet, I cant leave her Jules. You go, rest"
She smiled to him sympathetically and headed out. "I'll come tommorow morning. I hope you feel better Kate." "Thank you." Just like that they were alone again. Kate didnt mean to try and pull Jack away from Juliet, she didnt plan to hut their relationsip, all she wanted to do was feel loved by him, like before. "Jack... hold me, plaese." Jack sat her up and slid in behind her, his legs one on each side of her, her back against his groin and his stomach, her head resting on his shoulder. They slept like that trough out the night, not once moving, steady breathing, at bliss, she felt love, and he felt the need to fix her. Kate woke up to the ray of sunshine that slipped through her hut and nudged her out of sleep. She moved a little and Jack woke up. "Kate are you ok?" "Yes Jack, I feel so much better." Her head was still on his shoulder but when she tilted it to the side to see his face, their lips met, well more like their breaths, but it was close enough. Something took over Kate and she went in for the kiss. He hesitated, he loved Juliet, but Kate had almost died yesterday, he was confused, so he didnt pull back. It wasnt a long kiss, more like an introduction of tongues, of tastes. To him she tasted sour, a blend of milk and fruits that were forced into her the previous night. To her he tasted like the sweetest thing on earth. When their lips parted, Jack looked up and Saw Juliet hovering iver them, a try with two plates of breakfast in her hands. She layed the plate down on the table. "Enjoy." Just like that she walked out, not saying a word to either of them.
