Chapter 25: Boys will be Boys

"Are you sure you want to leave him with Jack?" Kate asked Claire as they were getting ready to leave. The girls were going to meet up with Sun and Ana to go dress shopping for the wedding, which was only a little over a month away.

"Yes Kate. He needs to spend time with his uncle before you both get married and move away." Claire replied.

There was a knock on the door so Claire got it. "Amanda! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at work?"

"Hey! Yes, but I'm on my way. Actually, I came to see Kate." Amanda said walking in. "I have a business proposition for her. Or are you both leaving?"

Kate was stunned. "We have some time. What is it?"

"You're studding photography right?"

"Yes. I'm majoring in it this fall."

"Good. Do you have any experience with Photoshop?"

"Some. I'm going to take some classes on graphic design. Can I ask why you need to know?"

Amanda nodded and smiled. "My firm likes to use images of our own for our clients. That way we don't have to deal with the copyright issues. Anyway, we need another photographer and I've seen some of your work. You're amazing. Just what we need."

"You're offering me a job?" Kate said excitedly.

"Yes! I've talked about you with my partners and they agree. You wouldn't start till after the wedding and we'll work around your classes. Then when you and Jackie have kids, you can work from home."

Kate was overjoyed. She wanted a job like that someday, but never dreamed it would be now. "I'll have to talk with…."

"I'm right here and I heard." Jack said surprising her. "I think you should take it."

"Me too. This is a great opportunity." Claire added.

"What's the verdict?" Amanda asked.

Kate took a little while and said, "Thank you so much. This is awesome!" The girls hugged and Amanda went to work.

"We better get going. You know the rules Jack?" Claire asked.

"Yes." He rolled his eyes. "I've got feeding and nap times written down."

"Have fun!" Kate kissed Jack goodbye.

"Pick a nice dress!" He called out and shut the door. Jack looked at his watch. Good. They'll be gone for awhile. It's time for some bonding with my nephew.

Kate, Claire, Ana, and Sun had been dress shopping for awhile. They couldn't find anything Kate liked.

"What about this one?" Sun asked holding out a dress.

"Too lacy." Kate replied inspecting it.

"You don't like any of these!" Claire replied frustrated.

"How did you get your prom dress?" Ana asked.

"It was green. I love green and it fit perfectly." Kate replied.

"Well, you are wearing white Kathrine!" Claire teased.

"Yes mother." Kate said sarcastically. "Sun, how are things with the baby?"

"It's great! I'm 5 months now and we found out it's a girl! Jin is so excited. I am too."

Everyone congratulated her. Ana had some news. "I forgot to tell you all some things. First, I ran into Sayid the other day."

"How's he doing with the whole Shannon fiasco?" Kate asked.

"I wish I could have seen it." Claire laughed.

"He's doing better." Ana replied. "It was hard on him. He really loved Shannon. But he's met someone else. Her name's Nadia. She seems really nice."

"What's the other news?" Sun asked.

"James and I are going on a road trip in September! We're going to Tennessee to see some of his family."

"I'm sure you two will have a great time." Kate told her.

Ana smiled. "I'm excited to meet his family. Speaking of family, who's watching Aaron?"

Claire replied, "Jack is."

"What?" Ana and Sun said at the same time.

"I tried to tell her." Kate teased.

"Aaron will be fine with him. He's going to be a doctor and he's my brother." Claire said assuringly.

"Just watch out for the Red Sox brain washing." Kate teased as Claire rolled her eyes.

"OK Aaron. This is the Red Sox! Your Grandpa's, mine, your mom's and hopefully your favorite team." The baby was sitting in Jack's lap watching the TV closely. Jack had put a little Red Sox baseball cap backwards on his head, to match his own.

"A line drive is hit deep into centerfield! It could be, yes, it's a home run!" The announcer on the TV said. "The Red Sox win again!"

"Yes!" Jack cheered as the 2-month-old waved his arms up and down. He turned his nephew and kissed his forehead. "I knew you were a Sox fan!"

Aaron giggled as Jack played with him.

A couple hours later, Claire and Kate came in the door of the Shepherd house. They had gotten back from getting dresses and putting Kate's up at her house. Claire took her maid of honor dress to her room as Kate heard the TV on in the living room. The brunette walked towards the noise and smiled at what she saw.

Jack was fast asleep with a protective arm holding a sleeping Aaron lying on his chest. They were dressed identical with Red Sox clothes on.

"Aaron's not in his crib!" Claire started walking towards Kate, but Kate put a finger to her lips and motioned Claire over.

"Aw!" Claire whispered. "This is so cute."

Kate brought out her digital camera she carried everywhere and took a picture. The girls went to talk upstairs as they left the boys sleeping.
