Your Song Chapter 2: I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing, a lost fanfic

I had to a sequal to this because of all the lovely reviews from you all. :D So if it's a disaster, on your own heads be it! Only joking. This idea came from my own real life experience a few days ago, so it's going to be interesting to see what you all think of this on the romance factor! Hope you all had a lovely Xmas!

Walking back into camp, Jack and Kate were met with catcalls, cheers, and whistles at their joined hands. The sun was just setting, and they had finally decided to return to camp because of their growing hunger that hadn't been tended to since that morning. Jack was willing to go hungry for a while longer, despite being a doctor, but then he had learned that Kate hadn't eaten that morning, and had skipped dinner the previous night, so he had insisted that they go back to eat. Jack went over to the boar that was over the fire, and Locke, who had been preparing it, gave him a portion, and Jack picked up some fruit for Kate, remembering that she was a vegetarian.

Just about to go back over to where Kate had sat down, he nearly walked directly into Sun, who was looking at him with a curious smile.

"I take it Kate has her faith back?" She asked him, looking over to where Claire was hugging Kate and talking away excitedly with the baby Aaron in her arms.

Jack smiled from looking at Kate. He nodded, not taking his eyes off of her. Kate felt his eyes bearing into her and looked in his direction. Their eyes met and she smiled that special smile that only passed her lips when she was looking at him. "Yeah, she's got it back." He told Sun after a few seconds.

"Then go and make sure she doesn't lose it." Sun said, giving him a gentle push in Kate's direction.

"Thanks Sun." Jack said to her.

"It was no trouble." She waved off. "Somebody had to do it, otherwise it never would have been done."

Jack smirked as he walked back over to Kate. Of all the people to set the pair up, he had suspected that it would have been Charlie and Hurley. He saw the pair discussing something with that playful/dangerous look on their faces, and glancing from Kate to Jack and back again. Jack gulped, and before he could make eye contact with either of them, he went to sit beside Kate and handed her the fruit.

"Thanks." She said, taking a bit into the guava and then smiling. "Hey, look..." She said, holding it up to him. "Guava."

He laughed at the memory, and Claire suddenly exclaimed. "Uh oh."

"What?" Both Jack and Kate asked.

Claire was looking over thier shoulders. "Charlie and Hurley are coming this way, and they look like they're up to something."

Kate raised an eyebrow. "When are they not up to something?"

Claire let out a laugh. "Good point. Anyway," She stood up. "I'll leave you guys to it."

Jack almost begged Claire not to leave them with Charlie and Hurley, but decided that he was man enough to survive them - maybe. Hurley sat down beside Kate, and Charlie on Jack's other side.

"Hello boys." Kate said to them, carrying on with her dinner as if none of this phased her.

"Men." Charlie corrected.

"Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle aged men." She recited. "The first rule of womanhood."

"There's rules?" Hurley asked.

"Middle aged?" Charlie said.

Jack laughed.

"Anyway, we need to talk." Charlie said.

"We do?" Jack asked.

"About what?" Kate continued.

"About you guys." Hurley said.

Kate looked at Jack and laughed. They had clearly rehursed this conversation. She winked at him, and Jack suddenly felt at ease. Kate winking was like Charlie and Hurley talking - they had a plan in mind, and someone was going to get it. It wa sher way of saying, Just go along with me. Jack raised his eyebrows slightly in an answer and she shot him an assuring look.

"What about us?" Kate asked.

"Dudes, do you even have to ask?" Hurley exclaimed. "No one's seen either of you all day, and now you come back from the jungle of mystery holding hands. What happened out there?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" Kate asked curiously.

"Hell yeah."

"Positive?"

"Just tell us."

"Ok..." She said, taking a deep breath. "We found a spaceship."

The look on Charlie and Hurley's faces was a classic, and Jack fought to keep a straight face.

"Ok, we might be immature..." Charlie began, "But we're not stupid."

"If that's the case then why can't you figure out for yourself what happened?"

Snap. That was her plan, to turn it back around on them. Jack let out his laugh. Kate 1, Charlie and Hurley 0.

"We know what happened." He said. "We just need to hear it from you."

"Yeah," Hurley seconded, "Are you, like, together now?"

"Together?" Jack asked, decided that he wasn't going to let Kate have all the fun.

"Yeah, you know, like hugging, and kissing, and...well...other stuff, all the time." Charlie said awkwardly.

"Why would you want to know that, Charlie?" Jack asked.

"So we can celebrate of course!" He said exasperated. Jack and Kate looked to each other and then back at Charlie. "Come on, you two, for near enough four months now everyone has been waiting for you to get over yourselves and just kiss each other."

"I'll second that!" Hurley said.

"I'll third it."

"I'll forth!"

"I'll fifth."

They turned to see that Michael, Claire and Sayid all standing behind them with their arms folded playfully. Charlie looked pleased with himself. "Motion passed." He said professionally. "Go on." He encouraged.

"Excuse me?" Jack asked.

"Go on, do it already!"

Kate looked at Jack and then at everyone else. "Charlie, what is it that you want us to do, exactly?" She asked him nervously, taking another bite of her guava.

"Kiss!" He said. "The motion's been passed, you have to do it."

"But we already have." Kate said with a laugh.

"It doesn't count," Hurley said. "You need to do it infront of everyone."

"What?" They both said laughing.

Michael crouched down level with the others. "Guys, we're going to be completely honest with you. If you kiss infront of everyone else, then we've lost or won our bets."

"Bets?" Kate asked, suddenly quite shocked at what was going on. "You've been taking bets on us?"

He trailed off for a moment. "Well...yeah, I guess you could say that."

"What exactly do these bets involve?" She asked him.

"It depends on who starts the kiss." Claire said. "But no matter who starts it, just doing it will mean that we've all won against Sawyer."

"So unless we're going to have to follow you all night to see." Charlie told them.

"And if we don't?" Kate asked playfully.

They all glared at the couple. "Guys, we need the stuff from Sawyer, so we all have to see it."

Jack and Kate looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. "You think we can take them?" She asked him, and catching her idea, Jack nodded. Kate turned to the others. "Seeing as you've already got so many bets, we'll try another one shall we?"

"It depends what it is." Sayid said.

"If me and Jack can go the whole night without kissing, then we get half of the goods from Sawyer. If we do, then you get to keep it." She reasoned.

The others seemed to confir for a moment, and they both knew that this would involve them trying all night to get them to kiss. They turned back to the others and found them starting ready.

"Ok, you've got a deal."

"How long has it been?" Kate asked.

Jack looked at the watch that amazingly still worked. "An hour." He told her with a sigh.

"Are you sure?"

"I hope not, but yeah."

"How long do you think we need to pull this off for before we can go to sleep?" She asked him again.

"Without one of them following us?" He joked. "Another four, maybe five hours."

Kate sighed. They were sitting as part of the larger group around the larger campfire at the caves. So far, an hour had passed since their deal with the others, and they had to try not to kiss all night. Only, after their session in the jungle earlier, that was harder than they thought it would be. For the past roughly eight hours, they had been kissing either passionately or lightly every thirty seconds. The fact that they had gone an hour was already amazing, but it was already too much for them both to stand.

"Any chance of them not seeing?" She asked, and chewed on the skin around her nails - again.

"Judging from the fact that they're all watching us like hawks, no. And will you stop that," He said, reaching over and taking her fingers out of her mouth. "You're going to start it bleeding again."

Kate smiled at how caring he was, and tapped him lightly on the arm. "Yes, doctor." She teased, then started fidgetting again.

"Anyone would think you've got ants in your pants, Kate." Jack laughed.

"I can't help it." She protested. "I just can't get comfortable with all these tiny stones on the ground." Even though Jack was at the caves, the beach was much more comfortable to sit down on. Sand fleas or no sand fleas, they were better than sharp rocks.

Jack moved a little, and motioned with his head. "Come here." She raised an eyebrow at him and he smiled. "We only agreed to not kissing." He reminded her, and she moved over. She sat between his legs on the branch he was sitting on, and leaned back against him. She was still uncomfortable and so he slid down onto the ground behind her, so that her back was pressed against his chest and she could rest her head against his shoulder. He put his arms around her stomach, his fingers trailing over the small area of exposed skin subconsiously. Kate sighed with content.

"Hey, Kate!" Charlie called over from where he was sitting beside Claire. "Comfy?"

She raised her head a fraction and called back: "Extremely.", and then leaned back as far as she could, curling up to Jack and enjoying the warmth that his body radiated. "Jack?" She asked, not looking away from the roaring fire before them.

"Yeah?" He whispered, his lips so close to her ear that he needn't speak any louder.

"This is nice, isn't it?" She said softly.

"Yeah, it is." He agreed. "You know what would be nicer?"

"What's that?"

"Not having everyone stare at us, and being able to be on our own."

She nodded, agreeing. "Let's just give in." She suggested. "We've lasted an hour already, I mean, thats pretty good, right?"

"I suppose so." He said after a few seconds, and despite the others, leaned down to kiss her. Their lips were just about to touch when Charlie called out and made them pull away. It would have been a lucky timing, as no one had been looking.

"ISLAND KARAOKE!" He called out, grabbing his guitar from the ground and looking around. "Come on guys, lets get this party started. Choose a song, and lets get going. Who's volunteering first?"

When no one rose to the occassion, Charlie started to sing "You All Everybody," In which case several people put up their hands. A guy called Gavin who really couldn't sing to save his life sang Robbie Williams' - Let Me Entertain You, and forgot the words halfway through, and a young woman named Holly sung a song that no one had ever heard of besides Charlie. Claire and Shannon dragged an unwilling Kate into it with them and they tried their best to sing "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves", and between them managed to know all of the lyrics, Kate shyly showing off her voice on a part that only she knew. Hurley did his favourite James Brown cover, "I Feel Good", much to everyone's amusement. Eventually, no one came forward anymore.

"Come on everyone." Charlie encouraged. He looked around the crowd and grinned evilly. "Jack!"

All eyes fell on Jack, and people started to encourage him. He was about to look to Kate for back up, but instead she joined in with the others. "Go on, Jack, you can sing." She said, and gave him that special smile.

He couldn't refuse then. "I...uh...I dunno what to sing." He admitted, and Kate smiled again.

"Something nice." She said.

He nodded, and went over to Charlie, whispering in his ear rather than shouting out his choice like everyone else, before sitting back beside Kate and getting comfortably back into the position they were in before. Charlie started playing the tune as best he could on his guitar, a smile on his face from hoping that his plan was working. Charlie looked at Claire who smiled back at him. Jack smiled shyly, and started singing.

"I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing"

Kate was looking up at him as he sang, listening to his voice and marvelling at how simply by speaking such words he could make her feel so safe, so loved. He wasn't looking at her, but instead staring into the fire, and even with the firelight casting a glow on his face, she could see that he was going bright red from the embarrassment of singing infront of the rest of the camp. Across the group, Sawyer was getting a good kick out of Jack's unease, but neither Kate nor Jack noticed, only Shannon, who dug her elbow into his ribs roughly to make him stop. Everyone wanted the pair to be happy, except Sawyer, who just wanted to tease them. Kate reached up and latched hers and Jack's hands together ontop of her stomach.

"Laying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

Jack looked down at her, not taking his eyes off her for a second. Slowly, the others realised that this was how it had happened earlier that day - with a song. The pair were obviously so in love, and it was good to see them together finally.

"I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing"

Jack finished, and a few people clapped while Kate's hand wandered to his cheek, and then through his stubbled hair. He could see the faint traces of unshed tears in her eyes while she smiled at him. Even though the whole camp had fallen quiet and everyone had their eyes on the new couple, Jack and Kate only had eyes for each other, oblivious to the stares around them.

"How do you do that to me?" Kate asked quietly with a soft laugh.

Jack shrugged innocently. "It's a gift."

Kate smiled again, and Jack leaned his head down towards her. Charlie interrupted the moment again.

"And the bet is won guys!" He yelled out.

"Shut up, Charlie!" Came the returning call from half the camp, even Sawyer contributed to keeping Charlie quiet with a well placed: "Put a sock in it you MTV reject!". Claire nudged Charlie. "Let them have their moment, Charlie."

Hearing Claire's comment, Jack and Kate turned back to each other and smiled before leaning forward, yet again, and finally getting their kiss. Waiting for it for over an hour made it all the more worthwhile, and as their lips met again and again, they got cheers from the entire camp. If there were champagne on the island, corks would have shot out of the bottles and party streamers and glitter would fall from the air.

Then Locke and another survivor walked into the clearing.

"Jack, Kate, it's your shift."

"I completely forgot about that." Jack said airily. He remembered Locke telling him that their shift was being bumped until overnight so that someone else could do something for someone, and then when Jack realised that he would be spending the evening with Kate alone in the hatch, his train of thought had disappeared and he hadn't listened to another word Locke had said for the next ten minutes.

"What are we going to do for six hours?" Kate said tiredly as they climbed to their feet and grabbed their bags.

"Don't worry, Freckles, I'm sure the Doc has somethin' in mind." Sawyer called over, and as a result was bombarded with several sticks off the ground and got another dig in the ribgs from Shannon. "Goddamn it, Barbie, d'you gotta keep on doing that?" He moaned at her. "They're made of bone not steel."

"That's not the same for your head." Shannon teased back.

Jack sighed, and turned to Kate, taking her hand. "Come on, lets go." He said, and together they walked away from the camp towards the hatch.
