Unimaginable Circumstances

A month went by unnoticed. Maybe among the others, but not Kate. Everyday was a new experience for her. A new feeling or concern. A worry or problem. This was how she was going to live her life now. Unexpected.

With a sigh Kate got up. She had woke up about noon and had just laid there in her bed. Listening to the others outside the tent. She had felt so exhausted that morning. Her body just didn't want to get up. It felt too good just lying there. But she pushed her self up.

Sitting there for a moment she looked around trying to give herself a good reason not to lie back down. She really didn't see a good enough reason, but the life inside her pushed her forth.

Throwing her legs over the makeshift bed she rose to her feet. Looking down to her clothes she really need to change. Turning around she picked up a suitcase and put it on the bed.

Going through her "now" pair of clothes, she found the tank top she was wearing when they had crashed. Taking it out she searched for a pair of pants that she could wear. Pulling out a pair of pants she wore two weeks ago. Oddly she could still wear the same things she always wore. She hadn't gained much weight. Just a snug fit here and there.

Taking off her clothes she had been wearing for nearly the last two weeks she went for the pair of pants. Stepping into them she took the edges of them and pulled them up. As she got them up to her hips it became a harder to pull them up to her waist. Nothing unusual. But as soon as she got them up to her waist and went to zip them up she couldn't.

Looking down to them she tugged up on the zipper again. It barely budged.

Again. Nothing.

"Are you serious?" Kate questioned to herself.

Trying it one last time for her own satisfaction she still couldn't get anything. She put her hands to her side giving up with a heavy exhale. Looking down to her stomach she really noticed that it had gotten bigger. Not much bigger to where it might be noticeable, but enough for her to notice.

Putting her hand to her skin she ran it over her stomach. A small smile came to her face. Now it was certain this was going to happen. There was evidence. Moving her hand up towards her chest she could see the unzipped zipper. It agitated her.

Taking a deep breath she turned and took a belt out of the suitcase. Slipping it through the holes she bucketed it as tight as she could. She was going try her best to wear these clothes as long as she could.

She then picked up the shirt and slipped it over her head. As she got in over her stomach it slowly rose up over her belly button. Pulling it down again it again came back up over her belly button. It was then and there where she gave up. The instance of her clothes not fitting her was too much for her in that moment. She didn't know why it was getting to her, but it was.

With a groan she turned to search for another shirt, but she was stopped by the tarp of her tent being thrown up. Hurley stood there at the entrance of the tent staring at her. His eyes wide and mouth a gape. He just stood motionless gawking at her like he had when he found out about her being a fugitive. It was kinda scaring her.

Then she realized it. As she lightly touched her stomach she watched his eyes move away then turn back as she lower her hand to her side.

"He knows." She thought.

"I've put that much weight on." She continued.

Shaking the thought from her head along with him it seemed she turned and began to frantically search through her clothes for something to cover up.

"Umm-what can I do for you Hurley?' She stuttered as she flipped through her catalog of clothes.

"Dude. Ummm- I just wanted to let you ummm know that Locke killed some boar…" He began looking away as she bent over her suitcase looking for something he didn't wanna know about.

"I don't eat meat." She announced as her face became distorted at the thought.

"Oh. Well Sun picked some weird green fruit thingies." He stated with a shrug of his shoulders.

Kate's face went back to normal and she went back to looking. Then she found it. The dress shirt she had been wearing before the crash. It could work.

"I just thought you should know." Hurley sighed trying his best to get out of the situation as fast as he could.

"Thanks.' Kate smiled looking over to him as she pulled the shirt out.

He gave her a weak smile as his eyes wondered around trying not to look directly at her. Then as soon as he came in her was out. A sigh of relief seemed to be breathed by both. Pushing the awkward feeling out of her mind she turned. Throwing the dress shirt around her she felt somewhat better that it still fit. Well it was a huge shirt, but still it fit.

In a better mood just from her shirt fitting she decided to take on what was left of the day. Stepping out of her tent she headed up the beach towards the other survivors. She saw them all sitting around the fire Locke was preparing the boar over. Their faces were brought down by hunger and she saw that. This was the first time in about a week or so that had boar. Nonetheless they had it.

As she walked up the beach seemingly minding her own business, Hurley and Charlie sat next to each other with shoulders turned watching her. After his encounter in her tent he raced as fast as he could to get Charlie's opinion on it. At first he passed it off as the way she was turned or something of that nature. Then as he saw her walk up the beach he knew something was up.

"Oh my you weren't kidding!" Charlie exclaimed in a loud whisper as he tired hard to look away from Kate.

"Dude see what is was talking about?" Hurley questioned they both turned back to her.

Charlie looked away and back to Hurley.

"You don't think her and Jack…and that time we? Do you?" He questioned wondering if she truly was with child.

"Well she also…you know…with Sawyer. " Hurley mumbled trying to explain both possibilities.

"It's possible." Charlie shrugged with bright eyes.

"What's possible?" That lighthearted voice asked joining the conversation.

Charlie and Hurley's eyes went wide as you could almost hear them swallow at the sound of her voice. Turning they came to face her bright and greeting face. Both tried their hardest not to look, but it was irresistible.

"Umm…that yo- the boar tastes like chicken." Charlie stammered trying his best to make up some believable lie.

Kate's eyes became narrow as she looked between the both. They both seemed nervous. Neither could focus a gaze upon her. Instead they looked around avoiding her.

"The boar tastes like chicken?" She questioned again looking between the two.

"Yeah. Here taste." Charlie shouted shoving a piece of boar in her face.

She suddenly became queasy at the mere sight of the meat.

"I think I'll pass.' She groaned looking away.

The two seemed to sigh in relief thinking she bought it. But just by the way they acted and the look on their faces she knew something was up.

"Besides I have this.' She smiled pulling out a mango.

"Shouldn't you be eating a little more?" Hurley asked.

Kate looked to him with narrow eyes again.

"Why?" She asked slowly catching onto their game.

"Cause of the b-"

Before he could finish Charlie swung him hard in the back of the head. Hurley's hand immediately came up to nurse the throbbing pain.

"What was that for?" He asked.

"Shut up!' Charlie warned with wide eyes looking over to Kate.

She sat watching back in froth between them as they muttered a conversation between each other. They knew something or at least thought they did.

"I'm going to head back to my tent." She announced.

Immediately the two looked up to her and stopped their jabbering.

"See you later." Hurley said as Charlie waved behind him.

Kate looked away from them rolling her eyes. Those two suddenly became more concerned with gossip then Shannon, but it was nice seeing Charlie had something to keep him occupied after Claire and Jacob's death. Still he was acting weird.

Hours went by and the day went on as usual.

Kate sat in the doorway of her now permanent tent. Her, Jack, and Sawyer spent a good day the week before building it. Now she sat there staring out into the ocean like always watching the waves come up the shore and then reseed back into the ocean. They seemed to symbolize life on the island. Their lives came close to danger as the waves came closer to the sand. Then everything became fine as the waves joined with the water again. But soon enough the waves would come in again and so would their lives. When would they ever get rescued.

Looking down the beach she watched the others go along with their lives. Once again she became entranced watching them. She wanted to join them and do something, but today wasn't really her day. Going back to the waves she rested her arm up on her bent knees and her head in her hand.

"Thinking out too loud again?" A voice asked her.

She turned to see Jack standing over her with a smile. She smiled back remembering when he had followed her out into the jungle after she had slept with Sawyer.

"Just a little." She replied looking back out to the water.

Oddly he didn't come and sit next to her. He stood where he was.

"Wanna go for a walk?" He asked.

She thought about it. Did she wanna get up? Did she wanna walk? She really just wanted to be lazy and sit there that whole day. Then she looked up to Jack and all in her mind changed. She hadn't seen him in a week and it would be nice to get up and walk around.

"Sure." She smiled.

Before she could get to her feet her had his hand out for her. Grabbing a hold of it he pulled her up. When she got to her feet they headed down to the surf.

They were quiet as they walked across the sand. The waves crashing against their feet. It felt good once again just to walk and be next to each other. No words needed. But still she knew a conversation would always spark.

"So how we doing today?" He finally spoke up.

"I feel really fat." She sighed.

Jack chuckled at the statement. She looked over to him offended.

"I do." She winded.

"Yeah ok." Jack said sarcastically as he looked over to her.

"I put my clothes on today and they didn't fit." She explained trying to justify her complaint.

"Kate. Of course they aren't going to fit. You're going into your second trimester. You should be bigger." He stated with a raised eyebrow lifting up her shirt.

"Quit it!" She laughed playfully slapping his hand.

He did it again and made a funny face.

"Second thought you are kind of fat." He joked poking her in the side.

She quickly pulled away from him and wrapped her arms around her stomach. Putting on a pout she began to turn away.

"Come here." He smiled pulling her back by her arm.

Up in her and Sayid's tent, Shannon stood watching Jack and Kate walking. She had become side tracked doing whatever she was doing. She had been pulled away and just stood there watching them. She watched everyone. It was something she liked to do. But watching them was more interesting.

"She's gotten bigger." Sayid said walking up behind her resting his hand upon her back.

She turned to see him as he greeted her with a smile. Turning back she again concentrated on Jack and Kate. Her focused on her stomach.

"You don't think she's pregnant do you?" She asked looking back to him.

"No…" He said seeming like he was thinking about it.

There wasn't really anything to think about it was obvious.

Shannon turned back and continued watching them. The way Jack kept poking her in the side and she pulled away and laughed. Then she thought back to how they had been acting towards each other and how Sawyer had been oddly close at times and then completely distant the next.

"Do you think he knows?" She asked not even turned from them.

"He's a doctor he has to." Sayid answered turning back.

She turned and watched him walk away then went back to watching them. They continued walking, but soon Locke running from the jungle down the beach towards Jack caught her attention.

"So w-"

"JACK!" Locke yelled running up to him.

Jack turned to see Locke running up to the two.

"John what's wrong?" Jack questioned seeing the urgency and worry in his eyes.

"Walt-Walt collapsed! Back at the caves!' He announced catching his breath.

Jack's eyes became wide. Quickly before Locke could explain Jack began to run up the beach. Kate following him.

"Stay here!" He ordered turning back to Kate.

"No I'm coming with you!" She contradicted.

Jack stopped running and turned back.

"Not with the baby." He warned her in near whispered so no one heard.

"Jack I'm fine." She assured him looking strait into his eyes.

Jack looked away to Locke with heavy exhale. He knew whatever he said she'd go anyway there wasn't a point in arguing.

Glancing back to her he saw the sternness in her face. She wasn't going to give up.

"Alright." He sighed in defeat.

Her face changed with the small victory.

"Just stay close." He warned catching an odd glimpse of Locke.

Kate saw his face. He seemed to somehow know. His eyes traveled down to her stomach quickly and then turned to Jack as he headed off again. She was certain he knew.

The three swiftly made it into the jungle. Locke leading them with Jack in second and Kate a close third. Locke ran ahead of the two and Jack tried to keep up, but his mind was on Kate behind him. Every couple of minutes he looked back to her as they ran. He wanted to make sure she was all right. Make sure something didn't happen.

Kate became heavy with breath and slowed to almost a halt. Of course causing Jack to slow. Looking back he saw her wiping the sweat from her brow as she caught her breath. He stopped and began a slow walk catching the attention on Locke.

"Come on!" He yelled.

Jack nodded his head and turned back to Kate. She looked up as he came close.

"You ok?" He asked.

She nodded her head taking a deep breath.

"Just short of breath that's all." She smiled covering up a sudden pain in her stomach.

"Well you're breathing for two now. Use it wisely." He smiled back as he turned and they began again.

Walking a little farther she regained her breath, but there was this small pinching pain in her stomach. At first she thought it to be hunger. Then it suddenly came on stronger pulling her behind again.

Jack hadn't looked back to as he kept going. But she kept her eyes on him as the pain worsened. Taking a deep breath like she had when she was hit with morning sickness she tried to take her mind off of it and continue.

Maybe it was morning sickness? But she hadn't had any sight of that in two weeks or more. It just wasn't that type of nauseating feeling. It was burning.

Taking another breath it slowly went away. Just vanishing. Allowing her to somewhat catch up to Jack.

As she was in two feet of him a searing pain seemed to stab her in the stomach. Immediately she clutched her stomach and barreled over in pain.

"Uhh…" She gasped out.

Jack quickly turned around. Seeing her bent over her arm wrapped tightly around her stomach.

"Kate…" He silently called as he raced to her side.

Quickly another pain came faster and more painful.

"Oh..." She moaned putting her hand out trying to keep her balance.

Jack came to her side and wrapped his arm around her helping her stand up strait.

"What is it? What's wrong?" he questioned.

"It's-there's-" She began before she was sent to the ground in crippling pain.

"What?" Jack questioned his heart racing as he kneeled next to her.

The pain was coming on so strong now that it was enabling her to take full breaths or make words. It was too much.

"Jack!" Locked called from a head.

Jack looked up to see him staring at them in question. Then he remembered Walt.

"Head on. Tell them I'll be there in a minute!" Jack yelled back to him.

Locke nodded his head and went off towards the caves. Jack looked back down to Kate who was clenching her jaw and digging her hands into his arm. He could see the pain written on her face as she drew quick breaths trying to calm herself.

"Kate. Look at me." He ordered grasping her face.

Slowly she turned and looked to him. Her eyes filled with tears.

"What hurts?" He asked.

Closing her eyes tight as another pain surged through her body she opened her mouth to speak, but the pain was too great for her to explain.

"Here." She muttered taking is hand placing it over her stomach.

Jack's heart seemed to stop. The baby. There was something wrong with the baby. He knew it. He looked away making sure to not let her see his tears at the thought.

"Can you walk?" He asked looking back.

"I think." She answered.

Slowly and trying her best without his help, she pushed herself to stand. As she did he came behind her. Taking her hand in his and putting his other on the side of her stomach he began to lead her back to beach.

"You're ok I promise." He whispered gently squeezing her hand. Hoping to himself he was right.

Rushing out onto the beach they caught the attention of the others. Neither noticed. With Jack trying to get her to tent as fast as possible and Kate in unbearable pain they didn't take notice.

Standing among the questioning survivors Sawyer caught notice as the others began their whispering gossip. He looked to each one of them trying interpret what was going on. Then he saw them. Her in his arms him nearly carrying her. The look on her face he could see was pain. He looked up Jack who seemed to be chanting something to her as the rushed into her tent.

Something was wrong.

Dropping what he was doing, Sawyer headed off after them.

Emerging in the tent Jack led her to her bed. Taking her other hand he helped her to sit down. As her body met the cushion she felt like she had been stabbed.

"Owww!" She yelled gripping the sides of the bed.

Jack quickly took her hand so she had something. Kneeling down in front of her he looked up to see her face ease up as the pain passed.

"Gone?" He asked searching her face for an answer.

"For now.' She sighed in relief.

Sitting there she slowly calmed herself down waiting for it again. Still she questioned what was wrong. This had come on so sudden and so powerful. Jack looked away with the same thought. He didn't know what it was. He had ideas, but no certainties. The only thing he did know is that he was worried about her and the baby.

"What's going on?" Sawyer breathed barging in.

Jack turned and looked up to him as Kate's eyes did too. Sawyer's face searched Jack's then again came to Kate's. Both were filled with worry and unknowing and he could tell something wasn't right.

"She's ha-"

Before Jack could explain Kate dug her nails into his hand. As she predicted another pain took her breath away. It felt like a thousand knives stabbing her all at once.

"Oh my god…" She cried balling her other hand into a fist.

Both Sawyer and Jack looked to her. Her face dripped in sweat as she bent over pressing her and Jack's hand into her leg bracing herself. The pain increased and she squeezed his hand harder. This one wasn't going away.

"Kate…" Jack called in a claming tone as he put his free hand to her face.

She looked up from her throbbing daze to meet his eyes. They were wide and trying to comfort her. She knew he was trying his best, but it hurt too bad. She had to look away unable to keep his stare. Her eyes met Sawyer's and she saw the same fear in question she had. He had no idea what was going on as he stood there behind Jack taking it all in.

"I need you to breath." Jack said making her look back to him.

She clenched her jaw again as tight as she could. The pain wouldn't let up. It kept on and on. Coming worse and harder very second.

"Breath Kate.' He said once again trying to meet her eyes.

Seeing his look she did what he said. She was willing to do anything he said at the moment just to get it to stop. To go away. Closing her eyes she slowly inhaled. As the breath came into her mouth she held it there. Letting it flow to her body and heal it. Then slowly she parted her lips letting it escape.

"Good." Jack said encouraging her.

"Another."

Slowly she inhaled again and held it like she had before. Letting it heal her body again. Then as before she let it out her body as the pain settled.

She kept his up for a while. It did more to calm her and keep her mind off of the pain. Trying her best to block everything out she couldn't even look to either of the two standing in front of her. Jack never blinked his gaze away from her. Too worried that he'd loose her if he did. Sawyer on the other hand still stood behind Jack, but looked away. She knew he had no idea what to think.

Minutes went by and nothing happened. The panicking seemed to have left the tent, but the worry still surrounded them. Taking one last deep breath Kate opened her eyes and looked down to her stomach. Placing her free hand on it she moved it around as if trying to make sure it was secure.

"I think it's gone." She announced.

Both men looked up to her immediately with her words.

"Are you sure?" Jack asked.

Kate took a minute and waited to make sure. Nothing came about. It was gone. Still as burning feeling lingered about, but she wasn't going to complain.

"Yeah." She smiled looking up from her stomach.

All three breathed a sigh of relief.

"What the hell was all that?" Sawyer asked hoping he could finally get an answer.

"Don't know." Jack answered looked back up to him.

Was he telling the truth or did he just not want him to know? Sawyer looked to Kate for an answer seeing how she was the one that experienced it. She didn't look to either of them. She just sat there rubbing her face in exhaustion. The pain had taken a lot out of her.

Jack looked from Sawyer obviously getting the point of his cold shoulder. Seeing Kate's weary state he questioned if she was really ok.

"Are you all right?" He asked tilting her head down.

"Fine." Kate answered wiping her hand across her face.

"Just tired now is all." She smiled weak.

Standing up Jack came over her making her look up to him.

"I want you to lie down and rest." He said.

Without any hesitation, Kate did what he said. She was way too worn out to argue or try otherwise. Turning she lay on her side facing Sawyer. Her eyes became heavy instantly and soon it became hard to keep them open. Jack's shadow came over her as he tried his best to make her comfortable.

"I'm going to go check on Walt." He announced over her.

She didn't even bother to open her eyes as he spoke to her. He knew she was listening.

"I'll be back tonight to check on you. And Sawyer will be here on the beach if you need anything." He finished as he turned to Sawyer. Who looked to him with an opposing stare.

He kept that stare as Jack kept his walking past him out of the tent not even bothering to look back to Kate. Sawyer did. He looked over to see her fast asleep or faking it. Seeing her there her hand across her stomach he knew he wasn't getting the truth.

"What's really wrong with her doc?" Sawyer asked hurrying after Jack.

"I really don't know Sawyer." Jack answered him not even slowing down to speak.

Sawyer caught up with him and took him by the arm. Turning him around he wasn't greeted by a kind face.

"What do you mean you don't know?' Sawyer asked with fury in his voice.

Jack flung Sawyer's hand off of him.

"I can't know what's wrong. Without any instruments or machines and not to mention the fact that we're on an island in the middle of God knows where I can't find out what's wrong." Jack explained meeting Sawyer's stare.

With that Jack slowly turned and began to walk off.

"What do you think is wrong?" Sawyer questioned standing place.

Jack stopped. What did he think? He didn't even want to put that in his mind. He wanted to push it as far away as he could. Hoping it wasn't true. But it crept up on him with Sawyer's question.

Turning Jack's gaze upon Sawyer was full of guilt. He shouldn't be the one to think of what was wrong, but he did. And it ate him up.

"Well…" Sawyer pressed him.

There were no words as Jack turned with heavy breath. He couldn't even look to Sawyer as he walked back to him. Slowly his eyes met Sawyer's questioning gaze and it pierced his heart.

"You really wanna know what I think?" Jack asked hoping with much doubt that he didn't.

"Well yeah. It'd be nice to know what is going on." Sawyer answered with a roll of his neck.

"I think she's miscarrying." Jack answered his words hallow as he again turned and began to walk away.

Sawyer looked back and stared at him blankly. He couldn't comprehend what he just heard out of Jack's mouth.

"What the hell did you just say?' Sawyer asked.

Slowly Jack turned again hoping it to be the last time.

"You asked what I thought Sawyer and I told you. It's a high possibility." Jack explained shrugging his shoulders.

It seemed to Sawyer like Jack didn't even care at that moment and it pissed him off. But in all actuality Jack was having trouble even uttering the words. It was the last thing he wanted to say or see happen.

"Don't say shit like that!" Sawyer warned walking up to Jack.

Quickly Jack put his guard up. He could tell by the way Sawyer moved that he wasn't thinking clearly.

"It's not like I'm making this up Sawyer. I wish I were, but you have to face the-"

Sawyer swung and hit Jack hard in the jaw before he could finish. Sending him back on his feet. Jack caught himself and raced back tackling Sawyer to the sand. Coming on top of him, Sawyer quickly caught him off guard by flipping him over. As he got him trapped under him he hit Jack as hard as he could in the eye.

"AHHHH!" Jack yelled out grabbing covering his eye.

Sawyer didn't go for another hit. Instead he got up and watched Jack squander at his feet. Turning away looking at the people gathering around them he let his guard down. He didn't see Jack get to his feet and deck him to the sand again. This time Jack didn't let him take control. He quickly slammed his fist into his jaw.

As he continued to beat him and he was again over turned Charlie, Hurley, and Sayid came rushing up. Ready to break them up.

"Guys! Guys!" Sayid called trying to get between.

Everyone was trying their best to get a grip on one of them. Their punches and blows were too close for anyone to try and make an attempt. Neither wanted to give up, but only did Jack stop when he saw Kate standing outside her tent watching them. Her face was brought down by sadness seeing them fighting.

Standing up Jack completely forgot about Sawyer. With his guard down Sawyer quickly took the advantage and nailed him in the gut. Sending Jack again to the ground breathless. And again he sat on him trying to beat him into submission.

"Sawyer!" She yelled as she began to run up to the growing crowd.

Sawyer didn't hear her. He acted as if he didn't want to hear her. He just tried hi hardest to break Jack. Break him of the thoughts he had.

"Jack!" She yelled hoping to get one of them to stop.

"Stop it-"

Her words stopped short as pain tore through her body again. Her eyes went wide and her hand went to her stomach clutching it.

"Oh god!" She gasped bracing her fall with her hand.

Both heard her, but only Jack stopped. Looking over he saw her hunched over and the sand rocking slightly back in forth as she tried to calm herself. Without thought of Sawyer, Jack got up and rushed off towards her. Sawyer saw this and turned with the rest of the crowd to see what sent him off.

"Hey we wer-"

He stopped seeing Kate as Jack had. Hunched over in the sand rocking slightly back and forth. Whispers became over the crowd. They all wanted to know what was going on, but not more then Sawyer. As Jack, he too hurried over to her.

Jack almost came to his knees as he reached her. He looked her over as he did when he first saw her like this. Her eyes were closed tight trying to bear through the pain.

"Just breath Kate…" He coaxed her rubbing the back of her head.

Feeling his hand she reached up for him. Grasping for some kind of leverage. Grabbing her hand he wrapped it around his neck. As swiftly and gently as he could he picked her up in his arms. Not even taking notice of Sawyer or the others watching the display, he headed as fast as he could to her tent. Praying what he thought wasn't right.

Rushing into the tent without thought he came over and laid her upon her bed. Removing his arms from around her she went to sit up, but his hands came to her shoulders in contradiction.

"Lie down and breath Kate." He ordered looking her fiercely in the eyes.

"No Jack! I can sit!" She yelled wincing as she fought his grip and pain to sit.

He let her stubbornness go and searched for something to sit behind her. Finding her suitcase he set in up behind her. Taking some of the pillows and blankets lying around he nestled it between her back and the suitcase for comfort.

As he was becoming frantic in trying to make her comfortable Sawyer stepped in. Kate immediately looked up to him. His face covered in blood like Jack's from the fight. He was a little worse then Jack, but still his eyes cast down upon her in a lustful gaze to where his eyes were almost the hue of black. The look scared her. She didn't know why he was looking at her that way for.

Quickly and expected another pain struck her. Pulling Jack away from his search and towards her. He took her hand in his and roughly caressed it trying to help her through whatever this was the best he could, but her mind was stuck between a rock and a hard place and he could see it in her eyes as she took a deep breath. She stared up to Sawyer trying his best not to look to her. Neither could help it.

As the pain came to its strong point the three were surprised to see Charlie step in.

"Charlie?" Jack asked.

Charlie's attention turned from Jack and looked to Kate whose face was tensed and her muscles convulsed. She did her best to hold in tears of agony in.

"Just wanted to know if she was alright. Everyone's worried." He explained.

"Well she's fine. Just stomach pains." Jack pushed off turning back to Kate.

She wasn't fine and Charlie could certainly see that. If it was just stomach pains then Jack wouldn't need to be holding her hand helping her bear through the pain and why was Sawyer in there. Still with the explanation he took the hint and walked out leaving the three in the mist of loathing.

"She's not fine!" Sawyer exclaimed.

Kate looked up to him with wide eyes wondering what had suddenly gotten into him. Jack too looked back with narrow eyes. He stared as if he was trying to stare through Sawyer and find out what he was thinking.

"Why don't you tell her what you thinks wrong with her!" Sawyer ordered in rage.

Jack turned away looking to neither of them. He couldn't believe Sawyer was going to bring this up in front of her. Doesn't he think? This was going to hurt more then help her.

"Sawyer she doesn't need this right now." Jack warned looking back up to him with his own fury growing.

"Tell her Jack. She has every right to know." Sawyer said again trying his best to push Jack's buttons.

"Tell me what?' Kate asked looking back and forth between the two in worry.

She wanted to know what was going on. It seemed that everyone knew something that she didn't know and they were all trying their hardest to hide if from her.

"Sawyer not-"

"He thinks the baby's dead." Sawyer announced with an angry grin or more of a dimple pierced jowl.

Kate's eyes filled with tears as she looked to Jack who couldn't look at her. When he did raise his eyes to meet hers they too were filled with tears.

"I said I wasn't for sure Sawyer! There was no need to tell-"

"And you call yourself a doct-"

"Get out Sawyer!" Jack yelled over his shoulder.

Kate lowered her head in the shadows of the yelling. She couldn't take any of this. Especially the fact that her baby might be dead. This life that hadn't even been brought to this world yet. A life she never got to hold or treasure. She couldn't bear the thought. Even more the two possible fathers were fighting over whose fault it was.

"I don't think so Jack. Seems Kate might want me more then yo-"

"Get out Sawyer!" Kate screamed at the top of her lungs.

Both were surprised to see her so high strung, but she was just informed that the life inside her might be dead. She had every reason to act the way she was.

"Fine then…." Sawyer groaned as he turned and walked out the door without a word. He knew when he was unwanted.

As he shadow left the side of the tent Jack looked back to Kate who stared in an emotionless daze. No tears or whimpers. Just wide eyes upon the air.

"Kate…" He whispered setting his hand upon hers.

She turned and looked to him. For the first time she really looked at what Sawyer had done to him. His eye was swollen and bruised along with his busted lip that seeped blood.

"Here." She said grabbing a towel.

Gently she blotted his blood-covered skin trying her best to clean him up as her hand shook. She didn't like to see him like this, somewhat helpless in front of her. It tore her up to see how out of hand this all had become.

Dropping the towel to her bed she turned back. A small tear filled smile graced her face. It was hard to look to him without tears. Slowly she raised her hand to his beaten face bringing a comforting smile to his. Brining his hand up he placed it over hers grasping it in his. With his touch she couldn't take it anymore.

Her eyes gave up and let the tears trickle down her face. The feeling of crying and release was the best she had felt that day. All was bottled up and she couldn't play with herself anymore. As soon as she cried he started as well. He couldn't stand to see her cry. It hurt him to see her suffer in the slightest.

"Why…?" She cried to her self, brining her hand to cover her mouth.

Jack moved from his daze.

"Hey. Hey…it's ok." He tried to assure her as he sat next to her on the bed.

Sitting next to her she gave up. She fell into his arms sobbing almost uncontrollable. He just did what he could and wrapped his arms around her. Holding her close to him. She continued to cry as she rested her head on his shoulder praying for one time Jack was wrong. As she prayed she rested her hand over her stomach protecting it. Seeing her do this Jack moved his hand to lay over hers. Clutching it to her body tightly. And as well he prayed he was wrong, but his faith was small.
