A/N: Thanks again for all the reviews! This is more of a happy chapter. I don't own any of the songs used or All My Children. However, the plotlines referenced did happen and the Lost simmlarity is there.

Chapter 14: Gypsy

Jack and Kate came back to the Shepherd house after school the next day. Claire had her appointment and Margo went with her. So, the couple was alone. Kate went into the living room and turned the TV on to her soap All My Children. Meanwhile, Jack was in the kitchen getting some snacks. He came into the room a couple minuets later hearing the soap's theme song.

"I've got a treat for you!" Jack teased as he sat down with some food and pop on the coffee table.

Kate's eyes lit up. "Really? What is it?"

He placed the chocolate bar in Kate's hand.

"Chocolate! You know the way to my heart." She gave him a quick kiss and started to eat it.

"Your welcome." Jack said as Kate leaned back against him. She broke off a piece of the candy and handed it to him. "Thanks."

Her attention though, was right back to the soap.

"Please tell me why you watch this?" Jack asked.

"Cuz it's good! All My Children has some really good plots and characters. Like Erica and Jeff finding out that Josh is their son and he was stolen from them, the creepy island where Dr. Madden was taking all the pregnant women, and the whole Ryan/Kendall/Zach love triangle."

Jack rolled his eyes. "Admit it Kate. You're only watching it for the shirtless guys."

Kate laughed. "Actually, I really like Ryan. That's why I want Kendall with him. They are us and they need to raise their son together."

Jack just laughed, but as he watched, he saw what she meant. The characters were similar to them. But after the show ended, the couple was busy and didn't here Claire come in.

"Will you two stop making out?" Claire teased when she came home. Jack and Kate were on the couch kissing, but it wasn't anything bad.

"We weren't making out." Jack told her.

"We were just kissing. A lot." Kate joked making Jack and Claire laugh. "So how did the appointment go?"

"It was good. I'm 2 months and due in May." Claire said smiling.

"That's close to graduation." Jack added.

"I'm due May 1st. Graduation is in June. So, I'll be there." Claire replied.

"That's great! Did they do an ultrasound?" Kate asked.

"Yeah!" Claire reached into a folder the doctor gave her. "Here's the first picture of your future niece or nephew!" She handed them the picture.

"Wow!" Kate said smiling widely.

"I can see it!" The girls stared at how excited he was. "I'm excited about being an uncle." Jack told them.

"We can tell." Claire and Kate said at the same time laughing.

"Claire, when are you going to tell our friends?" Jack asked when they stopped.

"Soon. I think I might wait a couple more weeks. But before Christmas."

"That reminds me. Charlie's bringing his bass tomorrow. He's going to play with us." Jack announced.

"Really?" Claire asked excitedly. The group of friends would sometimes get together and play around performing songs. She had wanted Charlie to come for awhile.

"Yeah. Kate replied. "Do you think we'll sound good?"

"I hope so." Jack smiled.

"Thanks for having me over Jack! Your house is nice!" Charlie said looking around. "And big."

Jack laughed. "Everyone says that. I wonder why?"

"Nice one." Charlie said to Jack's joke.

"We are all in the basement. Follow me." Jack led the way.

Charlie was amazed. The basement of the Shepherd house was fit for a teen hangout. There was a pool table, video games, and a place for a band. "Hey everyone!" Charlie said.

Hi and hey came from everyone but Claire. She crossed the room and hugged Charlie. "I'm glad you came. We always have fun, but we don't have a bass player."

"Glad I could be of service." Charlie said which made Claire giggle.

"OK. Let's start some songs." Jack announced.

"I'm going to sit. I don't sing." Ana said.

"That all right Lulu. You can just watch me." Sawyer said and Ana rolled her eyes but still smiled.

They took their places. Jack with a guitar, Kate next to him, Sawyer with another guitar, Charlie on bass, Claire on keyboards, and Hurley on drums. Ana and Charlie were amazed at how talented everyone was.

They did a mixture of songs, but each one had a theme song where they took turns singing. Except Hurley, who just kept playing the drums. Charlie played acoustic guitar and sang "Yesterday" by The Beatles, which Claire liked his singing. Claire sung "All you Wanted" by Michelle Branch, and Charlie was amazed by her voice. It was so pretty to him. Sawyer sang "Bad to the Bone" by George Thurgood, which made Ana hysterically laugh. Jack was next and he sang "Learning to Fly" by Tom Petty. He was a good singer and guitar player too. He most of the guitar solos, and Sawyer would help him out on some. Kate blushed whenever Jack sang. Kate was last and she did her Stevie Nicks impression, which she was known for. She sang "Gypsy" by Fleetwood Mac, all while facing Jack. Especially during the lyric "I still see your brown eyes, brown eyes. And it all comes down to you." He kissed her at the end of the song. It was their first kiss in front of their friends, but they were happy for him.

"What was that for?" Kate asked smiling.

"I love it when you sing to me." Jack smiled back.
