Chapter 12:

They all seemed to be so happy, so relieved. After such a long and partly terrible time here on this island they all will now soon come back, to their friends, their family, their jobs, back- in their real life.

„They are all so happy, that's wonderful!", Kate said quiet.

Sawyer looked at her, she was smiling but the same time tears run over her face.
He just nodded. „Yes, they are!"

Kate leaned her head exhausted against the back of Sawyer's chair. Her head was still aching and now sitting in this chair she finally realized how tired she was.
She watched into the deep blue water of the sea which was reflecting the light of the sun. It was so beautiful, so perfect. Then she again watched the singing group. There were Claire and Charlie who were smiling at each other. It was obvious that they were in love with each other. Claire hold Aaron in her arms, a real family, Kate thought. What they would do after being rescued? Would they live together in their own house, would they marry and then open a peanut butter shop as Charlie said? She smiled, they were such a cute couple.

And then there were Sun and Jin and their unborn child. They also seemed to be so content. Kate smiled again imagine a little mixture of Sun and Jin, a sweet Korean baby.
She remembered the both when they came to this island, separated from the group. Sun fearful and Jin having control over her. And now? Here Sun had developed a lot. Now she was independent and strong and now SHE was the person who had some kind of control over her husband according to her capability to understand and speak English. Now it was often HER who was speaking for her husband and still not the other way around.
While looking at Sun Kate remembered their common work at her garden. She had really enjoyed her work there on this quiet place with all this wonderful plants and seeds. Working with Sun was really very pleasant. She was such a friendly and understanding woman.
Kate smiled looking at the Korean woman. She remembered their first time at the garden when she still didn't know that Sun was understanding her. She grinned now thinking about all the stupid things she talked about at the garden when she thought nobody would understand her. And then the moment when she saw Sun smiling and recognized she had understood her all the time, all the stupid things she was often talking about.
Thinking about the fact that she was the first person who found out that Sun could speak and understand English made Kate proud. It was THEIR secret and she had enjoyed the quiet moments with her at the garden and their many conversations there very much.

Kate felt that she got more and more tired and also she didn't want to stop looking at the singing group she couldn't do anything else than close her eyes and seconds later she was fallen asleep.

A few minutes later Kate felt someone lifting her up. She tried to open her eyes but she was so tired that it didn't work. She felt two strong arms which were surrounding her body and then she was smelling a familiar smell and then a relieved and happy smile appeared on her face.

„Jack..."

Her voice was very quiet but it was loud enough for Jack to hear.

„Yes, it's me. Keep on sleeping." She heard him whispering in her left ear.

Exhausted she leaned her head against his chest and hid her face in his shirt. Jack carefully got up and walked with her in his arms in the direction of the tents.
He could feel Kate's cold hands through his shirt lying on his chest. Slowly he bowed his head and kissed her forehead.

„Jack...", he heard her again.

„It's ok, I'll bring you to your tent. Keep on sleeping", he whispered again.

He kept on walking then she slowly lifted her head up looking now directly in his eyes.

„Jack...I don't want to go to the tents, I...I want to stay with you, with the others...I don't want to be alone at the tents, I don't want to be all alone, ...not yet."

Jack looked in her green eyes which were now full of tears. He stopped his walk.

„You won't be alone, Kate. I'll be here and I'll go nowhere."

He kept on looking at her and tried to calm her down with his eyes.

„You won't be alone!", he repeated.

He could now see tears running over her face but she nodded.

„Ok?", he whispered and kissed her again on her forehead.

„Ok", she said quiet.

Jack started again to walk and then he reached her tent. With one hand he put the awning away while the other hand was holding Kate who had now put her right arm around his neck. Softly he laid her down in the tent and Kate removed slowly her right arm from his neck then she again searched for his eyes.

„Jack, I..."

Suddenly she felt one of his fingers on her lips.

„Sleep now Kate!"

She looked in his eyes.

„You have to sleep, Kate", he whispered again.

She could now see a soft smile on his face. Carefully he checked the wound on her head, then he turned around and searched for anything. Kate watched him confused through half closed eyes.

„What are you looking for?"

He turned again in her direction having a cushion in his right hand. He smiled then he carefully lifted her left arm in the sling, laid the cushion next to her and then her left arm in the sling on the cushion.

„Better?", he asked.

She smiled. „Yes, perfect."

He also smiled. „Then you can sleep now...", he said.

Kate still looked at him.

„Close your eyes, Kate. I'll stay with you, but you have to sleep now, ok."

Kate slowly nodded then after a last look at Jack she closed her eyes and seconds later she was fallen asleep.
