Sorry it's a bit late but here's the new chapter! Thanks for all of the replies, you guys are sweet. There's a bit more Jaterness in this one and the level of Jate fluff tends to increase per chapter until up to about chapter 7 where...oh, never mind, you'll find out soon enough. :P

Enjoy!

Chapter 2

Jack gave Hurley an apologetic smile before dashing out to see what the fuss was about. To his dismay, he found two men who Jack hardly knew screaming at each other and it looked like they were on the verge of having a full-blown fistfight. He stood still for a minute, unsure of what to do and watched mesmerised like the others crowded around the fighting men.

"SHUT UP!"

The corridor instantly became silent as twenty or so heads turned to the source of the female voice.

'Kate'

She continued in a hushed tone "Danielle said that they will be coming soon." She gulped, "We don't know how soundproof this place is and we all need to remain as quiet as possible."

Jack felt so proud of her and managed to catch her eye giving her a small smile. He could've sworn that Kate had blushed in that moment but before he could verify it Locke stepped in.

"I suggest that nobody goes anywhere alone, we've now locked the door which should keep us safe but just in case, go anywhere inside the hatch in at least twos. That means sleeping in a room with other people, so if you haven't found a room yet, then I suggest that you find one. As Kate said, we also need to be quiet; if you have to speak – whisper…"

Jack nodded is head, showing he understood and decided it was time for his turn "Also, if you're hurt or feeling ill at any time I will be staying in this room" He pointed over to his doctor's room.

"Ok. So in general, be careful and if you hear anything tell someone immediately." Locke finished off.

The crowd scattered after a while, everybody going to their various quarters.

Jack walked past Shannon and Sayid on the way to his room. She was still upset about Boone, and Vincent the dog had gone missing this afternoon, presumed dead.

Jack found his rucksack in the corner of the room and took a look around. The floor, ceiling and walls were all grey. He assumed they were some sort of metal, he confirmed his suspicions by putting his right hand against the wall. Definitely metal.

"What is this place?" Jack wondered out loud.

"I think it's called a room." Someone whispered behind him.

He spun round to find Kate by the door, a sarcastic smile on her lips.

Jack smiled at her "Hey! I didn't know you were here."

"Yeah well…" Kate glanced around the small space with a hint of disgust. "You staying here?"

"Yeah; but on the upside I do have a nice big doctor's room over there," Jack indicated with his thumb to the door on his left and smiled at her.

"You know…you're not supposed to stay alone." Kate said raising her eyebrow.

Jack gave a small chuckle and looked quickly down to the ground before returning his gaze to her. "Kate, if you want to stay here just say so."

"Ok, well, put it this way; you can't sleep alone and every other room is packed full of crazy people and a screaming baby." And with that she dumped her bag down opposite Jack's.

"Ok then. I hope you're not claustrophobic."

So...Jack and Kate sleeping in the same room together...what could possibly happen? Hehe.

Please review! I don't bite (mostly). Lol.
