Disclaimer: Of course, I don't own LOST.

A/N: Just so you know(if you can't tell by now) this story is AUish. I decided to make this chapter and the chapter before it two parts.

"How much longer?" Kate asked as she felt tears come to her eyes.

Jack shrugged. "It depends. There is a lot there. Are you feeling light-headed?"

She nodded. "A little."

He sighed. "Should be soon."

"Are you sure there is nothing you can do?"

He shook his head. "Kate, if we were in a hospital, there would be a better chance of you surviving. I don't have those supplies here."

She looked down at Nikki. Kate felt the tears fall. "I didn't think it would be now."

Jack came over and sat by Kate. He put a hand on her arm. "You never know. All I know is that I'll save you."

"But you just said it was hopeless!"

"I'll find a way."

Kate sighed. "You just said that you didn't have supplies."

"There has to be something," he said, standing up.

She reached up and put a hand on him. "Don't leave me!" she said in a weak voice.

"I'm going to save you."

"You don't need to be the hero this time."

"You don't believe your statement all the way," he said, looking into her eyes.

"J-Jack, there is nothing you can do."

"Maybe Sun will know something. Locke would also...but he's not here."

"Jack!"

He looked at her. Nikki started to cry as more tears fell down Kate's face. He let out a sigh and shook his head.

"I can't give up on you."

"I know you love me, Jack, but you have to let go."

"No! I can't! There has to be a way," he said and went back around.

He grabbed some cloth and started to wipe up the blood. He held it there and soon it became soaked full. Jack counted to five again and pushed harder. Kate let out a scream.

"Stop it! It's not working!" she screamed.

"It's slowing."

"Even if you did get it to stop, I will have lost too much blood."

He shook his head. "No, it won't be that way."

"You're too stubborn. I bet you were this way when Boone died."

"I can't loose you now! Michael already died but you can't."

"Come here," she said, her voice more quietnow.

"I can still save you."

"I'm worse now, Jack. I'll be dead soon."

He looked up at her eyes. There was pain and little hope. He didn't think she would have given up this easy. He felt tears come to his eyes but he forced them back. He couldn't give up on her now, he just couldn't.

"I have one last request. Will you please fufill it?"

"What is it?" he asked, looking away from her.

"I want to be in our hut one last time."

He walked over to her and lifted her. It surprised him that she wasn't heavy. He carried her out to the caves.

"I'm going to get someone to take Nikki," Jack said.

He sat Kate down and picked up Nikki. He looked around the caves. People were giving him odd looks. He was covered in Michael's and Kate's blood. He found Sun who sat in a corner with her head down.

"Sun, will you watch Nikki?" he asked, coming up to her.

She looked up at him. "I don't think I can watch her."

"I need to do one last thing with Kate."

She let out a sigh. "Fine."

He handed her over. "Thanks."

He left his daughter with Sun and went back to Kate. He lifted her in his arms and carried her down to the beach. By this time, she was pale and dark circles were under her eyes. He hurried into the hut, not wanting to waste a second. He laid her on the makeshift bed and sat beside her. She smiled a weak smile at him. She reached up an arm and grabbed him behind the neck. He was pulled down and their lips met. When they pulled away, Jack just stared at her.

"You can't leave," he said quietly.

"I'm near death. There is nothing you can do," she replied. Her breathing was starting to become labored.

He sighed and their eyes met. "I love you."

She smiled. "You probably wouldn't have said that before this. I love you, too."

He leaned down and kissed her one last time. When the kiss was over, she closed her eyes and smiled.

"Bye Jack," she said softly.

He started at her as her breath was coming short. All of the sudden, her smile widened and with she muttered, "Tom.". Jack didn't understand it but didn't ask the dying woman. He looked away, fearing he was going to cry. Standing up, he headed towards outside. Before he left, he turned back to Kate.

"I'll miss you," Jack said and then he left.

As Jack stepped outside, Charlie came rushing up to him. He looked like he had went up to the forest and back.

"What do you want?" Jack asked, not looking at Charlie.

"Shannon...she's having her baby," Charlie said between gasps for air and he took off to Sayid's and Shannon's hut.

Jack sighed as he watched the man run. He would have to make another delivery. He made his way towards where Charlie had gone. It seemed to him that when a baby was born the island took a life. It looked like that the island only wanted a certain amount of people there and it didn't care how it took a life.

A/N: I almost cried during this chapter when I was writing it. I promise that the next chapter won't be depressing. I updated really quick because I wanted to get these depressing chapters out of the way. When Kate said Tom in this chapter has to do with the episode Born to Run.(If that was not the guy's name in that episode, tell me and I'll go and change it.) Ok...well R&R.
