Hey thanks Russ and Aneesa, an those of you who have read, was going to wait for more reviews, but what the heck lol in a Jatey mood. Enjoy this little piece much more coming :-).

Kate and Jack have been walking for 5 minutes now, Jack stops and Kate looks at him a little strangely at first, then realises that they have reached the caves.

Jack:"The caves are just through those bushes."

Kate walks a little closer to him.

Kate:"Are you sure you're going to be okay? I can tell her if you want?"

Jack smiles a little sad smile.

Jack:"Yeah, but I'll tell her, I'll... I just feel that I should tell her."

Kate: "Okay. Lead the way."

Jack nods and starts to walk through the bushes. They emerge through to the caves a moment later, they can see everyone, and Jack suddenly feels everyone's eyes upon him. He sees Claire sat with Sun and Rose smiling. People have stood up and pointing to Kate and Jack, Jack's eyes filling a little. Claire looks up and sees Jack, she stands up, he has not taken his eyes off her. She hands Aaron to Sun and walks towards him.

Claire:"Jack, what's going on?" She asks unsurely.

He walks closer towards her and reaches out for her hand; she looks puzzled, and then realizes what he could be about to say and steps back shaking her head.

Claire:"No. No! Don't you dare tell me…"

Jack:"I'm sorry."

She stands still silent tears escape her eyes. Jack walks forward and pulls her into a hug, she slowly responds and embraces him back.

Claire:"Tell me that he made it, and that he's coming back to me, tell me that Jack, tell me that."

Everyone hearing what both Jack and Claire have said is in tears. Kate is still stood on the edge of the caves, watching on her tears falling too.

Jack:"I wish I could tell you all those things, but it would be a lie, I'm so sorry Claire. I, all I know, is that he didn't come back with Desmond."

Claire pulls out of his embrace and looks at him.

Claire:"Desmond's back? Then maybe, how do you know he isn't alive?"

Jack looks at her with sorrow.

Jack: "I'm sorry Claire, but Charlie he… he's dead."

Claire:"He… he can't be… he promised…"

Jack: "…" (He struggles to find the words to comfort her.)

Kate has now joined them, her tears wiped away, she touches Jack arm as she passes him, they share a little look, as Kate walks towards Claire and she pulls her into a hug.

Kate:" I'm sorry Claire but he isn't coming back, I know that sorry doesn't mean a lot to you right now, I can only imagine the pain you're going through, and I… I want you to know that I am here for you; we are all here for you. If there's anything I can do, just let me know."

Claire leans back. She looks into Kate's eyes, her eyes displaying some kind of determination, the sorrow still present.

Claire:"There is something you can do."

Claire has now stood up, Kate is doing the same.

Kate:"What?"

Claire:"You can take me to Desmond."
