Title: Mistakes, Heartaches and Birthday Cakes
Rating: PG-13 (The same as regular Lost)
Summary: An island pregnancy is bringing tension and the threat of the others even closer than before. But that's not stopping romance from budding. Shan/Say, J/K and C/C
Disclaimer: If I owned Lost, we wouldn't be having repeats right now
A/N: No, I didn't die. No I wasn't kidnapped by aliens. Or freaky Canadians. My computer crashed. Again. I'm really, really, really, really, really, really, sorry. This will never (I hope) happen again. Please don't kill me.
A/N 2: HOLY CRAP BOONE DIED! . Ah, oh well. Better him than Jack (I'm evil, I know) He's still alive in here, though. R.I.P Boone!
Chapter 3: Rational Thinking Is Over-Rated
"Um, Jack, can I, uh, talk to you for a sec" Shannon asked timidly as she entered the medical cave.
"Ya, sure. What's up?" Jack asked, looking up from whatever he was doing.
Shannon played with her fingers "I think-I think I'm pregnant" she admitted quietly.
"Are you sure?" stuttered Jack.
"I'm late, I've been feeling sick every morning, and my stomach's been growing. Just to be positive, I was wondering if you had a pregnancy test"
"You'd think that, wouldn't you" Jack sighed." I don't, but I'm guessing someone else does"
"Who?" asked Shannon. Then it dawned on her" Sawyer"
"What about Sawyer?" asked Kate as she entered the cave.
"Nothing" Jack said quickly.
"You can tell her Jack, it's okay" Shannon said quietly "Just don't tell anyone"
"Okay" said Kate slowly
" Shannon's pregnant" Jack told her.
" Oh" Kate said surprised it wasn't a bigger emergency. "What does that have to do with Sawyer? Unless..."
"Ew, no!" Shannon cried "I need a pregnancy test, and he's the only person whose got one"
"Oh, I'll go ask him for one," Kate said.
"Are you sure you want to do that? Remember last time you asked for something?" Jack pointed out.
Kate rolled her eyes. " Remember the last time YOU did? I'll be back in a few minutes"
Shannon waited anxiously as Kate went to get the test. 15 minutes later, Kate arrived and handed her a box.
" You didn't say it was for me, did you?" asked Shannon nervously.
" Nope." Kate said as she watched Shannon leave to go take the test.
" What'd you have to give him?" asked Jack.
" I had to tell him who my 'babies daddy' was" Kate answered.
"So he thought it was you" Jack said. "And who is your 'babies daddy"
"You"
"What!"
Kate laughed. " I couldn't think of anybody else"
"I'm looking forward to me and Sawyer's next conversation already" Jack replied sarcastically.
" Just avoid him" Kate offered.
"With pleasure"
Shannon walked back. "It's pink" she said quietly.
The three looked around nervously at each other. " I'm going to, uh, go." Shannon said quickly as she exited the cave.
Jack and Kate looked at each other "Guess we're starting our own little civilization out here" Kate said.
Jack was thinking. "Not the smartest idea, though"
" It could be worse" Kate started.
"How so, Kate?' asked Jack
" We could be here with out a doctor" she pointed out.
" You know, I've been thinking" Jack told her." I was thinking about taking a Sawyer's stance on things and making people pay me for my skills"
" You wouldn't dare" Kate said.
Jack smiled "I think it's a rather good idea, you know, having people kiss me before I fix their sprained ankle.
Kate snorted "You don't have to fix me for me to want to kiss you, Jack" Did I just say that out loud? Kate thought. He must think I'm and idiot-
Her thoughts were disrupted as Jack's lips pressed down on hers. She accepted quickly, her arms instantly around his neck. The rational part of her brain told her to pull away, but rational thinking had disappeared the day they crashed.
"Hey Jack-OH! I'll, uh, just, a, go now" Shannon said as she realized she was interrupting something. " Bye!" she said quickly.
Kate looked up at Jack and couldn't help but giggling.
Was that flufftastic enough for all of you? And short (sorry). But to angst lovers, next chapters pretty high up there on the angst scale. So lets wave good bye to Jack and Kate (shuts them in a closet) Oh yeah, I re-wrote this, and no one was pissed in it, so, uh, sorry? Okay anyway, Thanks to my lovely reviewers who rock my socks! And anybody who reads, you all rock! I love you guys (and gals)!
CrAzYhOrSeGiRl88- Thanks for reading, and now that Boone has bit the dust, I think a baby Boone might be happening on the show, a bit soap opear-y, but that's okay. Yah, I love J/K too (snuggles Jack/Kate fluff)
