Author's Note: Very short ficlet! I am pretty sure this is going to be a one shot deal, but let me know what you think.
She stared out into the night, her eyes fixed on a low hanging star. Life was strange. One day she was a captured fugitive, the next she was stranded on an island with a bunch of strangers that had slowly come to be her friends. Jack was right. Ha! He would love to hear her say that. But maybe they all did die on that plane . . . and maybe she could be reborn into what she always wanted to be---normal, okay, well, as normal as you could get wherever the hell they were.
What Kate really wanted was normality- a warm, loving home in suburbia, a caring, hunk of a husband (and if he just happened to be a certain tall, dark, and handsome doctor, well, she wouldn't mind), a mini-van, and 2.5 children. What was the .5 anyway? However, Kate knew she would never have any of these things. She was a fugitive and he was a respected doctor. And, let's face it, what self-respecting doctor would take a fugitive home to meet mom?
