Disclaimer: How many of these do I have to write? I thing one should be significant enough. Bleh…. I don't own lost and this is the last disclaimer.
Kate walked down the path towards the beach. She was determined to talk to Sawyer, but things changed quickly when she saw the two of them cuddling on the beach. 'Disgusting' was the first word to pop into her head.
She watched the two of them and she watched them kiss. She hated to see Sawyer so goddamn happy with another woman…let alone happy in the first place. She walked on cursing herself for feeling this way, when she bumped into Jack.
"Jack…" she trailed as she realized he was standing there. "How's it going?" she questioned trying to save herself.
"Not so bad, Claire's memory has come back, but she doesn't remember anything from after she was kidnapped. For all she knows she's been sitting in the caves this whole time. Though she does know that the baby's gone and she's hysterical." Jack explained giving Kate the run down. "How's it with you?" Jack added.
"Oh it's fine." She said casually trying to walk past. Jack could tell that something was wrong.
"Is this about Sawyer?" Jack questioned as she walked away. She stopped mid stride and turned around to face him.
"What makes you think that?" Kate said coolly, playing innocent.
"I've seen the way you look at him." Jack responded feeling guilty and depressed at the same time. "You can't stand him being happy, can you?" Jack added more, not really trying to get Kate angry, but also trying a little at the same time.
"That ass doesn't deserve to be happy." Kate snapped back and walked off down the path.
Jack gave up and walked to the beach to see Sawyer sitting while 'Annie' combed the beach for shells.
Jack walked up and sat down next to Sawyer. Sawyer didn't care that Jack was sitting next to him he was too busy trying to figure out what Annie had said the night before.
After much thought Jack spoke, "Sawyer can I ask you something?"
"What is it now Dr. Quinn?"
"Who is she?" Jack asked watching her along with Sawyer.
"She says she's going to make a necklace…she's bored…wants something to do." He said blankly as all his attention was focused on her.
"Who is she?" Jack questioned once more.
"Her name's Annie…we met a year ago." Sawyer explained as he ran his fingers through his hair. "That's what you want to know isn't it?" Sawyer questioned as he turned to face Jack, turning into his cold self. Jack searched for the right words.
"I have a question for you Jack." Sawyer said digging deep to find the courage to tell him.
"What is it?" Jack asked patiently waiting for the answer.
"Claire had crazy dreams before she was kidnapped…didn't she?" Sawyer more or less stated then asked.
"Yeah, why she having them?" Jack calmly asked.
"She told me she was pregnant last night…then her mem'ry came back and she couldn't 'member a word she just said." Sawyer explained slowly. "Right after she woke up screamin'." he continued.
"Claire's memory came back this morning…she can't remember what happened either." Jack clarified. "Do you think that…" Sawyer cut him off…"yeah"
The two men sat there silent for a few minutes. Jack searched for something to say, something to break the silence.
"Kate's jealous." Jack managed to blurt out after a few minutes.
"I could care less about what Kate thinks." Sawyer stated looking Jack in the eyes. "If she has a problem with me, she can come out and say it to my face."
The two men sat there in silence. For Sawyer he had nothing against anyone anymore. She changed him like that. She made him see that he was worthy of being loved. She made him feel things. He liked that about her. She saw the good in everyone and everything. She never hated only loved. He sighed.
Jack was different he was surprised at this change of heart for Sawyer. He didn't know much about his past and wanted to know more. He stood up slowly waiting for Sawyer to make a move, but he didn't.
"Thanks." He said softly as he walked away. He swore he could hear a muttered 'Your welcome.' as he walked on.
"Who was he?" Annie questioned walking over to Sawyer carrying a shirt full of shells.
"Jack." Sawyer stated saying nothing more, just starring off into space.
"What's wrong?" she questioned as she sat down beside him grabbing his hand.
"Nothing Freckles…" he replied kissing her hand. "You need some string for that necklace?"
"Sawyer…I know you're hiding something." Annie said as she got up and walked back to the tent.
He just sat there in the sand. Guilt and self-hatred consumed him.
"Fuck." He whispered under his breath.
Kate had been on the beach…she heard every word said between him and Jack, and him and Annie. She cringed when he called her Freckles and thought that he was calling her for a moment. She felt so used, knowing full well that it was her nickname first. She walked on pissed off more then usual by Sawyer.
