Chapter 3

Kate woke up the next morning in her bed a little confused on how she got there, she knew that Jack had probably carried her in. She turned around to see Jack lying beside her. "Good morning"

"Good morning, how did the birthday girl sleep" Jack asked her then kissed her softly.

"She slept very well, thankyou" Kate said smiling.

"I got you something, I know there's no gift shop around here, so I got you something really small but it's just to show that I care about you" Jack said and gave her the most beautiful flower she had ever seen.

"Oh Jack" She didn't no what to say. It was the most thoughtful thing she had got ever. It was so simple yet it meant so much. She pulled him by the collar towards her smiling as she kissed him.

Kate was sitting at the 'table' by her self. Jack had, had to go to the caves a little while after he had given her the flower. She sat there smelling the flower

she was to happy thinking about a life with Jack off this island to even hear Claire calling her name. After a few times Kate finally realised and looked up seeing Claire and Shannon sit down across from her. "Hey"

"Hey, what's with the flower" Shannon asked noticing the flower in Kate's hand.

"Oh, Jack gave it to me" Kate answered

"That's sweet" Claire said smiling "But why" Claire asked a bit confused. "It's my birthday today"

"Happy birthday" Shannon yelled "Yea, happy birthday" Claire added.

Kate put her hands in her pockets since it was still early morning and a bit cold. She felt a folded piece of paper in her pocket and took it out noticing her name on it.

"What's that" Shannon asked curious "I think it's a note" Kate said opening it.

"Who's it from" Claire asked. Kate went straight to the bottom of the note 'Love Jack' "Jack" Kate said smiling.

"What does it say" Claire said trying to look at the note. "Hey Jack might have wrote something dirty I don't want to hear" Shannon said pulling Claire by the arm.

"Jack's not like that" Kate told her. "Well read it to us" Claire pleaded.

"Ok" Kate gave in. "Dear Kate" Kate started

"Isn't that sweet he wrote dear K…" Claire started but got cut of by Shannon "Shut up let her read"

Kate continued "Dear Kate, you know that I love you but I wanted to tell you how much, I snuck this note in your pocket this morning, I know it's really corny but I know this way I can be sure not to leave anything out. You are the most beautiful, amazing woman I have ever met. You are so kind, caring, funny, smart, brave. You are the only thing that keeps me going, it is really hard on this island but knowing that I'm going to see you makes it all worth while. I would spend the rest of my life on this island just to spend one day with you." Kate was nearly crying as were Claire and Shannon. "Seeing you smile brightens up my day so much. You should really smile more often. You have a beautiful smile." A tear rolled down Kate's cheek.

"I will always be there for you and support you through anything and everything. I couldn't imagine life without, I love you so much. There I think that was everything" Kate laughed out the last part.

"I hope you have a great day, happy birthday. Love Jack" Kate couldn't hold it in anymore she began to cry. Claire and Shannon were also crying they held Kate's hands. After awhile they had stopped crying and were talking about Jack. This led to a totally different subject. As they were talking about ice-cream Jack came up to them. Kate jumped off her seat through her arms around him and kissed him passionately.

"What was that for" Jack asked her after they finally broke the kiss. But before she could answer Shannon answered for her. "She read the letter"

"Oh, was it ok" Jack asked. Kate just nodded her head and kissed Jack again. "So I guess you have had a good start to the day then" Jack laughed "A very good start" Then she let go of Jack and sat back down.

"Well I came to check on Kate now I will be leaving you girls so you can talk about ice-cream" Jack said and placed on soft kiss on Kate's lips. "Lady's" Then Jack turned around and started to walk away but only got about 3 metres away when he saw Walt. He sat down beside him. "Hey Walt" Kate, Claire and Shannon could hear there conversation.

"Hey" Walt said sadly

"Hey mate what's wrong" Jack asked concerned.

"I'm just soooo bored" he told him "I've got nothing to do"

"Alright how about we have race to see who can build the tallest sand castle" Jack suggested. "Aren't sand castle for little kids" Walt asked.

"Or are you just afraid that you will lose" Jack joked.

"I could beat you will my eyes closed" Walt shot back, which made the girls start to laugh.

"All right tough guy, you're on" Jack challenged him. Then they both started to build. Kate, Claire and Shannon couldn't help but watch the two. All though Kate was just watching Jack. He was so good with Walt.

After awhile Jack was clearly winning so Walt playfully knocked over his castle. "You are going to pay for that" Jack said as he chased him towards the ocean. He caught up to him and picked him up dropping him into the water. Water splashed all over Jack tee-shirt. "You are so dead Jack" Walt yelled as he chased Jack back to were the girls were sitting laughing.

Walt caught up to Jack and before he could do anything Jack had picked him up and was holding him upside down. "Hello" Jack said to the girls as he was standing right next to them. "Ok I'm sorry put me down" Walt said between laughs. Jack placed him down then started to talk of his tee-shirt. They couldn't help but stare as Jack did this. He realised they were staring at him so he spoke up. "My tee-shirt was wet" This awkward moment was stopped when they heard screaming "There's a ship look"
