Hope you enjoy it's kinda short! Also look out for some new stuff out this week!
Revival
Kate held her eyes closed as tight as she could, hoping this would all go away.
"What?" Sawyer asked again in shock.
He was trying his hardest to push her to edge. To make her say for his own satisfaction.
"What did you say Kate?" He asked in a loud angered voice as he came closer.
She couldn't take it anymore.
"I said I think I'm pregnant." Kate yelled turning to him.
Putting her hand to her forehead she tried not to look at Jack, but she did. He just stared at her like she was a ghost with his eyes ready to burst with tears. He seemed to be feeling the same way she did. On the verge of breaking.
"There's no way." Sawyer finally spoke breaking the silence.
Kate turned giving him a tear-filled look.
"What?' She questioned.
"There's no way." He repeated.
She turned away at his ignorance. She couldn't believe he was denying this, but yet she did expect him to be this way. On the other hand she didn't expect Jack to remain quiet. Maybe he was in shock.
"Oh so you're saying you don't believe me?" Kate questioned.
"Maybe i don't!" Sawyer yelled back.
Kate closed her eyes and pursed her lips. As a tear rolled down her cheek she turned from both of them.
"I don't this." She whispered as she walked away.
Quickly a hand came up to her elbow stopping her. She knew that hand better then she knew he own. Holding her back to him she waited for words.
"Kate." He called in that gentle tone.
Slowly she turned to face him. His eyes had changed from shock to somewhere beteen understanding and worry.
"Are you serious about this?" He asked ignoring Sawyer's groaning answer.
"Yes." She whimpered nodding her head.
He pulled her back to where she stood. He lowered his hand to his side and by his face he seemed to go into thought.
"What?" She asked in a worried tone.
He was silent before he answered.
"It makes since. I mean with your lack of sleep and appetite. Along with your weight loss-"
"Wait don't you gain weight?" Kate asked.
"In your first month or so you loose weight because of morning sickness." Jack explained.
"Do you have morning sickness?" He asked.
"Everyday for the past few days." Kate replied nodding her head.
All fell silent for a while. They all seemed to be thinking about what had just been sprung on them. Thinking of what this meant for them.
"That's it then." Jack whispered looking up to Kate.
Sawyer looked to Jack then Kate and back to Jack.
"What? You're going to believe her like that?" Sawyer questioned.
"It's not a matter of believing her Sawyer! It's a matter of facts and cause and effect!" Jack began.
Sawyer threw his head to the side rolling his eyes in aggravation.
"We both slept with her without protection. It was bound to happen!" Jack finished getting a groan from Sawyer.
Jack didn't bother with it. Instead he looked over to Kate who stood silent letting this all fall down upon her. He was stressed out by this, but couldn't begin to imagine how she felt.
"So now what? Since you seem to know everything Jack. Tell me what happens now?" Sawyer questioned in sarcasm.
Jack looked away form Kate who looked to him ready for the answer.
'We deal with the best way we can. .. like we did with Claire." Jack sighed not really knowing how to deal with it.
Sawyer stared at Jack like he was crazy.
"And if i remember correctly Claire was nine months-"
"Eight." Jack corrected him.
"My bad eight. And what happened she died." Sawyer pointed out.
"Claire was too weak from the kidnapping." Jack began.
"What if Kate gets napped huh?" Sawyer questioned.
"Kate's gonna be fine because I-"
"Oh yeah I forgot she has you. All will be fine as long as we have good ole' Jack on our si-"
"STOP IT!" Kate yelled.
Both stopped and turned to look at her. She had had enough of them fighting of her life and now they were fighting over this child that wasn't even born yet.
"Both of you shut up and not another word!" She warned.
"I know this is a burden on both of you. But it's heavier on me." She tried not to cry.
"Now I don't care if you believe me." She said looking at Sawyer.
"Or not." She continued looking to Jack.
"But I'm having this baby whether either of you, both of you, or one of you cares. This is my problem and I don't need either of you." She finished leaving both speechless.
"Now I wanna be alone." She said as she turned and walked back towards the beach.
Jack watched after her surprised at how she felt. She said she didn't care if he or Sawyer hand anything to do with this baby. And she had every right to feel that way. Sawyer was being an ass and he had to admit he as too. Trying to plan everything out. It wasn't right. He should be consoling her.
"This is bullshit." Sawyer muttered walking past Jack heading towards the beach himself.
Kate stood on the beach. Her feet dug into the sand. She had her arms folded limply across her chest as she stared out into the ocean. This was a ritual for her, but this time was different. This time she had life growing inside of her.
Looking down to her stomach she lowered her hand and let it rest there. Staring at her hand she began to cry. She had never felt so alone. Of course she felt hopelessly alone when Jack left her, but this was completely different. She had another life to take care of now.
She jumped as she felt a hand upon her back. Looking back it wasn't whom she expected.
'Sun?" Kate questioned as Sun came to stand next to her.
"Are you ok?' She asked looking Kate dead in the eyes.
Kate nodded her head as she sniffed back tears.
"Whatever happened between you and Jack it will work itself out. Trust me." Sun smiled.
"You two are too beautiful together." She continued touching Kate on the cheek.
"Thank you." Kate said trying her hardest to give an honest smile.
"You're welcome. And if you ever need to talk I'm here to listen." Sun said as she turned and walked away.
Kate watched her walk up the beach and wondered why she was the only one willing to talk to her besides Sawyer. Maybe it was because she had somewhat of the same problems with Jin. The whole lying thing. It really didn't matter it was nice to have someone to talk to.
Quickly Kate's attention was pulled away from Sun as she saw Jack walking toward she. Without a thought she turned back to the beach. She wasn't in the mood to be called a lair again.
Jack walked up knowing she had seen him and had turned away. Still he walked up. Without a word he took off his shoes and stood right in the surf next to her. She saw him standing there in silence out of the corner of her. She didn't really care if he stood there forever she didn't feel like talking.
"Now I know why you do this." He blurted out.
"It's claming." He finished never once looking over to her.
Silence came over them again as he tried to think of a way to get her to look at him. Slowly he leaned over towards her to where he knew she could see him.
"I believe you." He announced trying to get a look out of her.
She glanced over with a disgusted chuckle.
"Yeah ok." She said in sarcasm.
"I do Kate." He said again coming closer to her.
She looked over at him in repulsion.
"Is this some attempt to make me think you forgive me?" She asked.
"No. But, I do trust you.' He stated.
"But, trusting you doesn't mean I forgive you." He continued.
Looking away she knew this confrontation was too good to be true.
"Still I don't want what happened to us to ruin this child's life." He finished look back out to the water.
Glancing over, for the first she knew he believed her. That he knew she wasn't making this up like Sawyer thought she was. That he wanted this. Or more or less was willing to go through this with her. Watching him stand there not even a foot from her she began to cry. Slowly he turned to see her choking back tears.
"What's wrong?" He asked resting his hand on her shoulder.
"I'm so scared Jack." She cried looking up to him through the tears.
With out any thought or judgment he took her in his arms. The moment she felt his body on her she broke down.
"I know." He whispered gently rubbing her back.
"It's going to be ok." He tried to convince her.
Pulling away she looked up to him again.
"What if I'm not a good mother? What if something happens to the baby? What if I die?" She questioned him.
"You're gonna be a great mother, nothing will happen to the baby, and most of all you're not going to die." He told her as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"It's all going to be ok." He assured her.
She sniffed back tears as she looked over Jack's shoulder to see Sawyer standing outside his tent watching them. Kate slowly looked away lowering her head to rest on Jack's shoulder.
The two stood there for a while holding onto each other. When he felt it was ok to something Jack pulled back. She had stopped crying long ago and now just stood shaking from emotions.
"You ok?" He asked wiping away a tear his shirt didn't catch.
She nodded her head.
"We're going to take this step by step." He said.
She again nodded her head as she took a deep breath of relief. Looking away she again felt good to be next to Jack. Not all stressed out and tensed up like she was when she held in her secrets about Sawyer. She now felt like there was a chance to redeem herself.
"Now I'm gonna make a list of thinks you shouldn't do." Jack explained.
Kate looked away with a laugh.
"Is it going to be nine pages long?" Kate asked with a smile.
"It depends on what I think of.' Jack replied meeting her the same smile.
Kate just stared at him smiling unconsciously to herself.
"We're going to be ok.' He assured her.
With a kiss on the cheek he turned and headed back up the beach towards the caves. Leaving her stand there for once feeling right about this. She knew in time all would be right again.
