I'm sorry it's taken me this long to update. I had bad writers block and now that that is over I've had my hours doubled at work so I'm going in at 7 in the morning and not getting home till 8 at night so I'm usually too tired to even attempt to write. On a good note I went on vacation at Disney World which Disney just happens to own ABC and Lost. I got my picture taken with Matthew Fox's shirt, unfortunately he was not in the shirt at the time the picture was taken. Sadly the shirt (the light pink one Jack wears with the sleeves ripped off) was in a glass case so I was unable to touch, smell or lick the garment hehe.

CHAPTER 14

Jack and Kate had indeed gone back to bed after Kate ate but later in the afternoon, Jack suggested they head downtown and do a little shopping. While Jack was in the shower Kate grabbed the phone and dialed a familiar number.

"Hello" came the voice of Kate's best friend Shannon.

"Shannie, it's me." Kate said as she settled on the bed comfortably. Shannon had been Kate's wall when all hell seemed to have broken loose in her life. She had been there during the situation with Anthony, comforted her when she spoke of Jack and reassured her when she ended up pregnant. Shannon was the best friend someone could ask for. She was supportive but she wasn't afraid of putting Kate in her place when she needed it either.

"Katie? Where the hell have you been?" Shannon said not happy. "You were supposed to call me when you got into Chicago. I've been worried sick about you." Her friend exclaimed. Kate winced she knew she should have called Shannon but these last couple days had gone by in a whirlwind and she knew she deserved whatever anger Shannon had for her.

"I'm sorry Shannie I know I should have called, things have been a little crazy and I promise you I'm perfectly fine, in fact I'm perfect." Kate said biting back a smile.

"Did you find him?" Shannon asked. Kate could hear the curiosity in her voice.

"Yes" Kate said trying to hold in her excitement.

"And?" Shannon asked exasperated.

"Oh my god Shannon he's incredible" Kate said her happiness bubbling over. "You should have seen it Shannon. I found him right after I got here and he was so sweet and Shannie he's excited about the baby."

"Really?" squealed Shannon. "Oh hunnie I'm so happy for you."

"I told him I wanted to do a paternity test and he said he believed me even without one. Then I told him about the test I had to do for the MS and they did a paternity test with it so Jack had it compared to his DNA and it proved he was the father. He never once made me feel like he didn't believe me and Shannie the minute I saw him it was like being back in Vegas. All I wanted to do was jump him; he is just as gorgeous as he was four months ago. He wants the baby and he wants me Shannie. He wants me to live with him in Chicago so we can raise the baby together. I told him everything about Anthony and he didn't care." Kate said.

"Move to Chicago?" Shannon asked. Her voice sounded sad.

"I know it seems sudden but Chicago isn't all that far and Jack offered to move to Vegas but he has a great career here and his friends are all so kind. I didn't want him to give all that up." Kate paused for a second and when she spoke again Shannon could hear the emotion in Kate's voice. "I love him Shannie. I've never felt this way before and its different he doesn't try to control me and he doesn't scare me" Kate whispered. "I want to be with him and he wants me too." A tear trickled down her cheek.

Shannon bit down her own tears as she heard the hopefulness in her best friend's voice. Kate deserved to find a prince charming and it sounded like she might have actually found him. She had held a sobbing Kate when she had told her about how she spent the weekend with the wonderful man and had been forced to leave because of fear of Anthony. Shannon had never heard Kate talk about a man the way she did Jack and Shannon knew that even in that short amount of time Kate had fallen head over heels for the doctor.

"Oh don't cry Katie, its going to be fine. I'm just happy that you're happy. And you know maybe in a little bit I can save some money and come out and see you so I can meet this Jack properly." Shannon said.

Kate sniffled. "Thanks Shannie, you know I love you right."

"I love you too Katie" Shannon replied. "Ok enough sad talk, you said you wanted to jump him so have you?"

Kate giggled and blushed. "We were going to take things slow but it didn't really work out all that well. I just can't seem to keep my hands off of him. So yes I have jumped him" she chuckled when she heard Shannon laugh out loud.

"That's my girl, go for what you want and don't let go."

"I'm not planning on letting him go anytime soon. Oh Shannie I would love if you could come visit. I want you to meet Jack so you can see how wonderful he is. He wants to turn his extra bedroom into a nursery so you have to help me plan the decorations and everything." Kate said excited over the prospect of Shannon visiting some day. "Plus there's this nasty woman named Ana who is trying to get with Jack." Kate said rolling her eyes.

"Ooh" Shannon said. "Sounds like I better start saving my tip money so I can get out there and help you put an end to that tramp." Shannon said protectively.

"I can't wait. I also have your jacket and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind packing the rest of my things and sending them to me. It isn't a lot." Kate asked.

"No problem" Shannon said. "I'll send you you're stuff and don't worry about the jacket, I'm sure you can use it more than me." Shannon said.

"Ugh don't remind me it's freezing here. The heat went out here last night but we were lucky." Kate said.

"Lucky huh?" Shannon asked suspiciously and Kate smirked.

"Jack has a fireplace in his bedroom and he's a doctor so he also knew the best way to keep warm is to snuggle naked with someone who is naked as well." Kate said saucily and Shannon chuckled.

"You're such a whore, no wonder you ended up knocked up." She teased.

"Yeah well I learned it all from you." Kate shot back and both girls laughed. "Look I should get going but I'll talk to you soon, I promise." Kate said.

"Ok babe I'll talk to you later." Shannon said.

Kate hung up the phone as Jack came out of the bathroom with a nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. He had actually been ready to come out of the bathroom but had heard Kate talking on the phone and didn't want to interrupt her. He had heard her talk to Shannon about visiting and Jack thought that could be really good for Kate. He stored the idea in his head to think about later. He glanced up and smirked to see Kate watching him hungrily. She sat up and walked on her knees to the end of the bed and smiled wickedly at him.

"I'm hungry again" she said licking her lips. Jack raised his eyebrows as she slipped her fingers into the waistband of his towel and yanked it off.

"Um hello" he said chuckling as he found himself naked. Kate ran her hands up his arms to his shoulders caressing his skin. She then dragged them down his chest dragging her nails lightly across his abdomen. She leaned over and gently licked at his nipple causing him to make a growling noise in the back of his throat. She let her tongue work it over and then moved to his other one. She slipped her hand down to caress his length which was steadily growing as she loved him. She took him in her fist and worked her hand up and down slowly and sensually. Jack went to slip his hands under her shirt when she pulled away.

"No" she said shaking her head and he looked at her confused. "I want to please you and that's all I want." She said, her face formed a smile. "On the bed on your back" she ordered huskily. Jack obeyed her order and settled on the bed comfortably. Kate crept up his body and stopped when she reached his hardened length. She grinned at him. "I love making you come" she said and within seconds had him in her mouth and was literally bathing her with his tongue. Jack moaned and went to move her back to him she pulled away with a sigh of discontent.

"I want to taste you Jack" she said softly.

Jack sighed and just enjoyed what she was doing to him. She sped up her ministrations and soon she was deep throating him with each thrust. She moaned and the sound vibrated through her and into his throbbing member. Jack let out a loud groan and Kate sucked on him harder laving him with her tongue.

"Gonna come baby" Jack said out of breath hoping to give her enough time to pull away before he erupted all over.

To his shock Kate pulled back slightly and smiled at him. "I want you to come, I want nothing more than for you to empty yourself within me. I love you Jack" she said and Jack felt his body tense. Kate sensed his upcoming release so she worked him with her hand and her mouth as she moaned and waited in anticipation for him to empty himself in her. She sucked on him harder and seconds later she heard him cry out and suddenly her mouth was filled with his release. She drank him down licking his member like a popsicle in order to not miss a drop. When he was done and his body relaxed he looked down to see Kate licking him all over as if she was afraid she missed some. When she was done she moved up to lie on his chest and nibble on his neck.

"Jesus Kate" Jack said stroking her hair.

"You liked it?" she asked knowing damn well he did. She leaned up and brushed her lips across his chin.

"That was incredible you are so amazing" he said stroking her cheek gently. He smiled at her. "You said you loved me, and I wanted to know I love you too" he cleared his throat which suddenly caught when he tried to speak.

Kate nodded and they kissed deeply.

"You have too many clothes on" Jack observed looking at her covered body.

"No no Jack I said I wanted to pleasure you not me. Making you come was just what I needed and you filled me up so well."

"Mmm" Jack moaned as they kissed deeply, when they pulled away Jack gave her a strange look. "I really don't think I like the idea of not giving you release."

Kate smiled at how wonderful he was. "I'm fine Jack, I promise. I'm a little tired from earlier anyway and making you happy makes me happy" she said nibbling on his lower lip. "Maybe when we get back from shopping I'll let you make it up to me" she said with a teasing smile and Jack grinned.

"You better" he said kissing her hungrily. After a few minutes they pulled away and finished getting ready to go out. Jack drove them downtown and made sure she was bundled up. He had insisted they could wait until the weather warmed a little but Kate had just said if she was going to live here than she needed to get used to the weather. He took her in and out of the shops and reminded her that anything she wanted was hers. She had made a face at that but didn't argue. They walked out onto the street and Kate immediately noticed the sky had turned grey and it didn't seem as cold as it was earlier.

Jack noticed her looking at the sky. "It's going to snow. What do you say we hit the next couple stores and then head to Marshall Fields and see the window display?" Kate nodded happily. It was when they were headed down the sidewalk when Kate suddenly tugged Jack into a building. He looked at her confused until he found himself in a maternity clothing store. He grinned at her and rubbed her belly gently through her jacket.

"I've noticed my clothes are all beginning to get tighter and tighter so I figure I better start looking now." Kate said.

"You're not going to wear a muumuu are you?" he asked with a chuckle and Kate smacked him on the arm.
"No" she said rolling her eyes. "Maternity clothes have become quite fashionable and trendy." She took his hand and led him through the aisles grabbing

random items of clothing and holding them up for his opinion. Jack usually hated shopping with a passion and would practically scratch his own eyes out if some girlfriend dragged him along. It was different with Kate though he enjoyed spending this time with her.

"Are you finding everything ok today?" they turned to see a saleswoman.

"Yes, thank you. I'm just looking for right now." Kate said with a smile.

The woman smiled back. "If you don't mind my asking how far along are you?" the lady asked and Jack watched as Kate beamed.

"Four months" she said rubbing her stomach gently.

"Oh that's a wonderful time. Most of the clothes that would fit you will be located in the back of the store. Clothes that are of your normal size but with a little give." The saleslady said.

"Thanks so much" Kate said and she slipped her arm through Jack's and they turned to head that way when she felt the woman touch her arm and lean in close for only Kate to hear.

"There are a couple other items back there that you might be interested in such as lingerie." She said with a wink. Kate smiled and gave her thanks and eagerly pulled Jack towards the back of the store.

"What did she say?" Jack asked curious.

"Just a little girl talk" Kate said with a mysterious smile.

Kate managed to find a couple things she liked and even a nice outfit she could wear for any job interviews she might have. She didn't want to buy too much because she knew there were other maternity stores with the same selection and not nearly the same cost as this one. She wasn't going to tell Jack that because she knew he would just say by what you want and don't worry about money. Kate was a Wal-Mart, Target kind of girl so these fancy shops were nice to look around but not real plausible to do a lot of shopping in. She picked her few items of an outfit, a pair of slacks and a sweater when her eyes wandered to what the saleslady had told her about. Her face grew into a wicked smile and she pulled Jack over and watched as his eyes widened slightly and his grip on her hand tightened.

"What do you think?" she asked sexily rubbing her hand up his arm and Jack swallowed.

"That's a lot of lingerie." He made a face. "Is some of this even safe for pregnant women to be wearing?"

Kate giggled. "Yup they even have heels that have a different support in them so your back doesn't hurt."

"Really?" Jack asked his eyes wandering over the lace, silk and leather before him.

"Ooh I like that one" Kate said and Jack watched as Kate pulled a teddy off the rack with the buckles and guarders. "Just think of this with thigh high stockings that buckle and a pair of heels." Kate said knowing she was driving Jack insane. "It comes in a bunch of colors" she said as if she was looking at candlesticks.

"Why don't you try it on?" Jack said breathlessly.

"I don't think they allow that." Kate said looking around. She suddenly felt Jack at her side.

"We're buying it anyway" he said huskily and Kate felt a shiver run down her spine. "Maybe we should just buy it and go home" he said.

Kate shook her head her body engulfed in flames. "I won't make it that long" she said with a hitch in her voice. Kate looked around and saw the saleslady form earlier. The lady came over and gave them a small smile. "We have some private dressing rooms in the back I can let you in" and Kate nodded trying to control her racing blood. Jack looked around, private dressing rooms? This was the greatest store ever. The lady led Kate back into a secluded area and opened the dressing room for her. It was like a tiny room completely closed off from any of the other rooms in the area. Kate quickly changed and smirked. She had grabbed a pair of heels when Jack wasn't looking. The salesperson discretely told Jack which room Kate was in so he made his way into the back room and knocked on the door of her dressing room.

"Kate" he called out.

"It's open" he heard Kate call out.

He opened the door and found Kate standing there in the black teddy, her thigh high stockings were clipped to the buckles that came off of the teddy and she was wearing a pair of black stiletto heels. Jack stopped breathing for a second and then quickly moved into the room closing and locking the door behind him. She licked her lips as he looked at her hungrily.

"Holy shit" he muttered under his breath and Kate giggled and opened her arms to him.

"Come here" she said and Jack moved across the room and took her into his arms kissing her hungrily as his fingers traced over the silk and lace. She pulled him tight and he moved her against the wall as he hungrily ate at her mouth. Kate lifted her leg and wrapped it around his hip pulling him tighter. Jack pulled away and caught his breath.

"I have to take all this off?" he asked looking at all the buckles.

"Nope" Kate said stroking his hair. "Crotch-less panties" she said nuzzling him with her nose. Jack sucked in a deep breath and Kate giggled as she felt his body stiffen against her. "I don't want to wait too much we are in a store" she said unbuckling his pants and undoing the button and pulling the zipper down. She pushed his pants and boxers down. She took his throbbing member in her hand and stroked him gently. Jack cursed and let his fingers graze her crotch and sure enough the fabric was gone and he let his fingers sink into her depth testing her readiness for him. Sensing she was more than ready he gripped her thighs and lifted her up so her legs wrapped around his waist and he lowered her and sank deep within her. They both let out moans of pleasure as Jack pushed into her. Kate pressed her mouth against him and moved up and down on him. She unbuttoned his shirt and pushed it from his shoulders and he moved carefully kicking his pants and boxers away that were gathered around his ankles. He drove into her smoothly and deeply and Kate held on to him tight gasping his name. He pressed her harder against the wall and Kate whimpered at the sensation of him driving into her. She opened her eyes and let out a little gasp. To her side was a full length mirror and she could see Jack loving her fully. She watched as he thrust into her and she saw her own reaction to him as she unconsciously bit her lip.

"Jack" she whispered. "Look" she gestured and Jack saw the mirror and how it looked for the two of them to be connected.

"You like how that looks" he asked breathlessly. "How our bodies fit together perfectly?"

Kate nodded she couldn't take her eyes off of the sight of Jack's hardened length move in and out of her. She whimpered and felt her release building.

"When we get home I'm going to take you from behind in front of the mirror so you can watch your self come" Jack said his voice dark with passion and Kate let out another moan. He thrust into her harder and Kate knew both of them were seconds from release. Their orgasms hit and both cried out in pleasure as Kate's body clenched around his as he released into her. Kate managed to open her eyes and watch in the mirror as Jack's body jerked within her and his muscles tensed in ecstasy. He was the most beautiful man she had ever seen. She buried her face in his neck as the rest of her orgasm wracked through her body. When they both had come down they Jack stroked her hair lovingly and kissed the side of her head. He eased her onto her feet and both dressed while exchanging deep kisses. They left the dressing room and Kate blushed knowing the saleslady had to know what she and Jack were doing. Surprisingly the woman said nothing and Jack purchased the clothing and lingerie as well as a couple items Kate snuck in from the lingerie section she didn't want him to see, luckily he was talking to the cashier and didn't see her secret purchases. She had to have some surprises for him. They finished their transaction and they walked out into the cold though both were feeling rather warm and sated. Kate rested her head on his shoulder as they walked and Jack kissed the top of her head.

"You want to go home?" he asked.

"No I want to go see the window displays at Marshall Fields" she said smiling up at him. He leaned in and they kissed lovingly.

"Ok but if you get too tired let me know" he said gently.

Kate smiled, "I'm not tired just pleasantly content" she said with a giggle and he gave her a wink. They made their way to Fields and looked at the windows. Each window was decorated as a scene from the nutcracker and Kate's eyes danced with excitement at all the detail and hard work that went into the displays. She suddenly felt something land on her face and saw that it was snowing. Kate had never seen snow before besides in movies and television and squealed in excitement as the light powder rained down upon them. It was so beautiful and with State Street decorated for the upcoming holidays Kate felt like she was in a Charles Dickens's story. She looked at Jack who was looking at her his eyes full of love. She leaned up and kissed him excitedly and when they pulled apart she whispered.

"I love you so much Jack Shephard" she caressed his cheek.

"I love you too Kate, you and our baby." He pulled her into a tight embrace and hugged her.

"Jack?" Kate pulled away when she heard the unfamiliar female voice. She felt Jack completely stiffen within her arms and watched as his eyes lost some of their joy.

"Hello Sarah"

Ok there it is sorry for the long wait. For those of you in the Chicago area you know Fields has become Macys but in my story it will always be Marshall Fields because that is the way it's supposed to be. So please review and let me know what you thought of the chapter.
