Who's Your Daddy? Chapter 4: Faded Memories: Vibrant Choices, a lost fanfic

Hey guys, this is a very short, but important chapter. I couldn't plop it in with the next one or the previous one, because there would be no time given to comprehend the information. That and I wanted a cliffhanger! Bwa ha ha. So please enjoy the shock of a lifetime and anyone prone to heart attacks please leave the room.

Special thanks to Crazy, for her idea reinforcement

Chapter dedicated to Rain1657, she'll know why…

Who's Your Daddy?

Chapter 4

Faded Memories: Vibrant Choices

"Daddy can I go back on the Ferris wheel?" Lyndan asked as they stood on the escalator. They'd waited an hour and a half in line just so he could ride it for two minutes.

Jack chuckled and shook his head, "Maybe next time Buddy, we've got to find what toy you want and get out of here before the store closes," Jack explained as they entered into the stuffed animal section.

Ainslie wriggled around from where she was held against Jack's chest. She pointed her tiny finger towards something and made a small noise of protest, "What is it Doll?" Jack asked her as he stopped abruptly.

She pointed at a medium sized stuffed polar bear sitting on the top of the rack, "You want it?' Jack asked as he reached over and grabbed the soft toy gently.

Nodding furiously she beamed when he handed her the bear, instantly cuddling it between Jack and herself, "You sure you want that one?" he asked, "It's only ten dollars," he told her.

She shook her head and clutched the doll closer to her, her eyebrows drooping at the thought of the bear being taken. Jack stared at her a moment and was amazed by what extent she looked like Kate, especially when saddened.

He kissed her forehead, "You can have it Sweetie," he told her with a warm smile, which she returned tenfold.

"Daddy!" Lyndan called from a display against the wall, "Can I have that truck?" he asked pointing to a shiny red fire truck like the one he'd been playing with in the doctor's office, that was on one of the top shelves.

"Just let me get it down," he told his son as he placed Ainslie on the ground. Her tiny legs bent slightly and for a second, disappeared under the black dress she had on. She wrapped an arm around the neck of her newly found polar bear, and brought her other hand to her lip in awe as Jack reached up and grabbed the truck with ease.

"Wow," Lyndan exclaimed as Jack handed him the toy, "I wanna be tall like you, Daddy," he exclaimed as he took the truck.

"You will," Jack told him as he messed his hair, "Just give it time."

Lyndan smiled at him and as he hoisted Ainslie and her fluffy white friend into his arms once again, he had to smile, Lyndan reminded him of what he was like as a child before his dad had gotten through with him.

As they reached the checkout he had to wonder, with Ainslie exactly like Kate, and Lyndan like himself, who would their third child be like?

Kate moaned as she leaned her head against the porcelain rim, she wanted to kick herself in the head, or at least remove her foot from her mouth. Jack had once again been right, only a few moments after he left she began throwing up. In her state of anxiety caused by the baby and what Jack might think, she forgot all of the horrible situations she had to deal with when pregnant with Lyndan or Ainslie.

After a moment of steady breathing, she flushed the toilet and gripped the rim of the bowl, her arm shaking as she pushed herself to her feet. Glancing at her reflection, she almost threw up again. Her face had gone deathly pale and suddenly she felt as if she hadn't slept in a week.

She sighed and indolently leaned against the counter as she mustered the strength to brush the rancid taste from her mouth. Groaning every now and again when her eyes simply wouldn't stay open. Spitting a final time in the sink, she watched as the froth swirled down the sink with a gurgle and a groan of the pipes.

With a stretch of her back and a small yawn, she made her way from the bathroom, to the couch in the front room and collapsed weakly on it. The same leather couch Jack had when she'd first woken up on it in one of New York's heat waves. She now lay the same way, face down against the arm, but the air-conditioning had been fixed a long time ago.

A light tapping came at the door, and Kate's eyes immediately shot open. Even after five years and a different apartment, Kate's heart still sunk every time someone knocked at the door.

Standing up, she adjusted the pajama pants she wore, anything with a zipper didn't seem to fit, which was awkward, because by her count, she should only be two along, if that.

She walked to the stairs, opening both gates that guarded them, in case Ainslie felt explorative, and to the door, taking a deep breath in. Opening the door halfway, she found a man about five years older then her staring at her in awe. His eyes were shaded and blocked by sunglasses and his hair was hidden up inside a hat.

Giving him a look over, she leaned against the door nervously, "Can I help you?" she asked, her fingernails digging into the finish on the side of the door.

He pulled off his hat, revealing a shock of sandy blonde hair, and removed his sunglasses showing off his beautiful gray eyes, "Katie?" he questioned with a small smile playing on his face.

She threw open the door all the way and took him in. His eyes dancing, playing off her own fogged over orbs. He looked taller, older, and more rugged then before, a small growth of stubble spread across his lower face as he watched her intently, waiting for an answer.

Her hand came up to her lips, feeling like she would become sick again is she spoke anymore, she uttered, "Leo?"

BWA HA HA HA! NO ONE GUESSED IT! Not you, or you, or you, or even you in the corner.
Ethan: Hey don't diss my corner!
So now that you're all thoroughly confused I leave you with the answered reviews
Ethan: Rhyming is fun, yo.

I hope it was a big enough shock, and if it wasn't perhaps all the little minor shocks in the upcoming chapters will be suffice.
Lara Chubb of Deephollow
Yeah you got it, previous troubles and agreements. I'll go in depth into their past relationship in later chapters.
And yes I did break up Charlie and Claire because I really don't like Claire and someone had to be broken up. BUT before you hurl stones, they're on amicable terms and have three kids. Who you'll get to meet in upcoming chapters along with Sun and Jin's kid, and you get to re-meet Shannon, Sayid, and Hurley (Who's very important in this story) And maybe Sawyer. I don't know me and him (Unlike Charlie and Claire) aren't on very good terms as of now.

But you have to have mean Jack once in awhile, just to make us love him more!
And I'm sorry but (cowers into corner) there's further disruptions between Jack and Kate in the next few chapters that leads to a major event.
October Sky
Aww Jack would never leave…but Kate would…
And no Anthony's not coming back, I do not revive people from the dead…
Ethan: Ahem
Leo: Ahem
Anthony: Ahem
And just for fun….I'm not even going to touch on the genetics of the baby (smiles)
Sawyer: (whistles innocently)
Pink Pinker
Well buckle yourself in because the next few chapters have more twists then a Cinnabons. Some are unexpected and other's are just jaw dropping shocking.
Whirlwind-2005
Kate was supposed to be on birth control pills, but she ran out and didn't have a chance to refill them. Afterwards (the pills can harm an unborn child) she didn't take them in fear of being pregnant and harming the baby. Jack was angry because he didn't understand why she didn't tell him what she was doing. That and previous baby troubles, and the fact that he agreed on two children…
Lostobsessivefreak
There are three factors making Jack react the way he did, and I thought I explained them well but I guess I didn't (Or I did in the upcoming chapters) but I'll check and make sure I do.Until then just read Whirlwind-2005's review for she had the same question as you
Ethan: Rhyming is fun, yo
And I made the next few chapters extra angsty just for you
