Hey, thanks again for the reviews. I´m glad you like it. I will post two chapters now, because the fifth one is little short. And once again, I don´t own Lost, because if I did, Jack and Kate would have kisses at the end of SOS.

CHAPTER 4

Sun raised Kate´s shirt a little, then moved over to hold her arms and shoulders. She looked up at Jack, who was threading a needle, and felt compassion for Kate, knowing how painful it would be to go through all this without anesthesia.

Jack reached for a bag of bottles, but realized that there is only one left.

˝Sayid! ˝ he cried. We see Sayid enter the tent.˝You need to convince Sawyer to give me his stash of alcohols. I don´t have it enough! ˝

SAYID: Do you want me to….

JACK: Do whatever you have to do! I don´t care!

SAYID: I understand.

10 minutes later. Sawyer enters the tent, carrying a large black backpack.

SAWYER: Hello, Doc! I hear you need my help!

JACK: Just give me the bottles.

SAWYER: Whooa! Slow down, Jackass! Why do you need them all? I don´t remember you being so wasteful when it was my wound in question!

JACK: Sawyer, I don´t have time for this!

SAWYER: Well, you'll have to explain it to me, Doc. There are 40 of us on this island, what if….

JACK: She'd been freezing on this damn rain for God-knows-how-many-hours before they found her. She might have had a branch stuck into her stomach; she'd lost a lot of blood and she´s in terrible pain. So if you think that, in addition to everything, I´m gonna let that she got infected just because you…

˝Freckles is that bad, Doc? ˝ asked Sawyer, his voice little shaky.

˝Yeah, Sawyer. She is. ˝ answered Jack calmly, surprised by a fear in Sawyer's voice.

˝Than you take it. Take it all.˝ said Sawyer. He got up to leave. ˝And Doc, just save her, ok?˝

He took the last look on Kate, and then left out, knowing that Jack needs to be alone and concentrated right now.

Jack stayed petrified for a moment, but was brought up to reality by Kate´s moan. He took 3 bottles from Sawyer's backpack and kneeled down next to her.

˝Kate, you gotta be strong now, ok? I'll be as gentle as possible, but it's going to hurt. I need you to be brave. Can you do that for me? ... Kate nods.…Ok, here we go. To Sun: Hold her tight! ˝

He poured the liquid all over her stomach, causing her to convulse from pain.

˝I´m sorry, Kate. I had to do it. Be strong.˝

Half an hour later. We see Jack sewing up the wound on her stomach, his face tense in concentration. Kate is biting her lips and clutching the blanket, trying not to scream. She feels like someone is piercing her with hundreds of needles. Sun looks away, not able to continue looking into Kate's face, screwed in pain. Jack tries not to think about the fact that he is causing her pain, tries to ignore the fact that she is trembling from ache….

˝It's going to be alright, honey, you're going to be okay...Hold on! Just a little bit more! ... This is the last one, ok, baby? It's going to hurt, but it's the last one. ˝ Jack is taking out the needle from Kate's skin. She lets out a painful scream.

JACK: ˝It's okay, it's over now, you were very brave, honey! I'm proud of you! ˝ he kisses her forehead.

KATE in a silent whisper, smiling.: ˝You owe me for this! ˝. She faints.
