Both Jack and Kate were woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of moaning, they both imminently turned to Emma, who was shaking, and shivering hard.
"Jack?" Kate asked.
"I don't know," he said as he pulled up Emma's blankets. "If she makes it through the night, she'll live, but…"
Kate looked down. "There's nothing you can do?" she asked.
Jack shook his head. "Not without all the medicines and equipment…" Jack said, he turned to Kate. "Kate, this is basically up to her, wither or not she lives…"
"What?"
"And right now, there's a chance she doesn't want to fight…"
Kate froze.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
Kate nodded her head. "I uh…"
Jack nodded. "You should get some rest,"
"What about you?" she asked.
"Sun's coming by later for a couple of hours…" he said.
"Jack,"
"Kate, I'm the doctor remember?" he said.
Kate nodded. "But your not the doctor when it comes to yourself," she said as she pulled up her blanket and went to sleep.

Kate woke up later that morning, Jack wasn't there, Kate smiled, maybe he actually went to get some sleep… probably not. Kate sat up and looked down at her leg, it didn't look as bad today had, probably because she didn't have a bandage on then. Kate looked over in the corner, there stood a pair of sticks, carved out to be walking sticks.
She smiled.
"Mommy!" Emma shouted in her sleep, Kate looked quickly over at her, she had… talked! More like shouted but talked.
Emma began to shake again. "M-mom-my" she muttered.
Kate hopped over to her side. "Hey, Emma! Emma? Come on, wake up…" Kate said as she shook her.
Emma's eyes opened in a flash, when she saw Kate she started to cry, she grabbed Kate's neck and hugged her tightly, Emma was breathing heavily, like she had just run a million miles. Emma began to cry.
"Shh," Kate said as she sat up on the bed. "It's ok," she whispered.
Emma pulled her hands away and rested her head in Kate's lap.
"Everything's going to be ok," Kate said as she ran her fingers through Emma's hair.
Emma nodded, and quickly fell back to sleep.
Kate stared at her, Emma could talk, so why was she pretending she couldn't? That just made no sense… Kate took a stray hair that fell on her face and tucked it behind her ear.
Jack walked into the room carrying some fruit and two water bottles. "Kate?" he asked.
"Uhh, Hi Jack…" she said.
Jack frowned. "What are you doing?" he asked.
"Emma had a nightmare I think, she woke up Jack!"
Jack smiled. "That's good," he said. "She fall asleep right away?"
"Almost," Kate said. "She was very scared… poor little kid," she added.
Jack nodded. "She's probably been through a lot,"
"I know…" Kate said. "Jack?"
"Huh?" he said not looking up from the fruit he was stacking.
"She can talk," Kate said. "She called out for her mom…"
Jack looked up at this. "When?"
"Just now," Kate replied.
Jack wrinkled his forehead. "That's odd…"
"That's what I thought."
Jack looked over at Emma, then turned back to Kate. "Hey, umm Locke made you some crutches," he said.
"I noticed." Kate said with a smile.
Jack nodded.
"Can I get up now?" she asked.
"Only if you eat breakfast," Jack replied.
"I'm not hungry," Kate said.
"Uhh, right, you haven't eaten in days," he said.
"So? I-"
"KATE!" Jack shouted.
"Jack, when's the last time You ate?" she asked.
Jack swallowed.
"Jack," Kate said.
Jack sighed. "Fine, I'll eat one, and you eat one," he said as he tossed her a piece of fruit.
"Fine," she said..
"I'm going to need your help to get Emma to eat though," Jack said.
Kate nodded. "Anything I can do to help her…"
"Good,"
