Sorry it took so long to update, I'm back at school now so I got heaps of homework-but I haven't forgotten you.


Chapter Eleven

"Can we see her?" Asked Kate, getting to her feet carefully so she wouldn't wake Lilly.

"When'd she have them?" Asked Claire, also getting to her feet.

"I dunno, last night I think, in the hatch, I only just found then from Eko."

"Are we allowed to see her?" Kate repeated, eager to visit her friend. Charlie shrugged.

"I don't know, but I do know Libby and Hurely are going to the hatch to try anyway, c'mon."

The walk took longer than usual with the two mums, and Hurely and Libby we're leaving by the time they reached the hatch.

"Are we allowed to go in?" Asked Claire, rocking Aaron in her arms as he started to play up.

"Sure dudes, I think everyone's almost seen them anyway."

It was strangely quiet in the hatch. Kate, Claire and Charlie walked in the room slowly. Sun was sitting on the bed holding one baby, while Jin sat beside her with the other.

Sun looked up and gave them a weary smile when they entered.

"Sun, there, there beautiful," Kate said as she too a peek at them. Sun smiled.

"Thank you,"

"I can't believe you had twins!" Claire exclaimed. Sun laughed softly.

"Neither can I!"

"Have you named them yet?" Charlie asked.

Sun smiled over at Jin who was rocking one of the twins, a baby boy in his arms. Sun held the other, a beautiful girl in her own.

"The boy is called Bae, after Jin's father, it means 'inspiration'" Jin smiled at them, before saying in broken English.

"We named her Cho, it means 'beautiful'"

Kate smiled. "They are both beautiful," she said, "When did you have them?"

"Late last night," Sun explained, suddenly they heard a noise behind them.

"How's it going?" Jack walked over to Sun and smiled at him. "I never would have guessed for a second you'd have twins."

He suddenly turned to Kate. "Sawyer's looking for you, I told him I'd tell you to go back." Kate nodded, and smiling at the rest of the group quickly left.

She had just started on the path back towards the beach when she heard a noise.

"Hey Kate, wait a minute." Jack came jogging up to her, Kate waited for him to say something, but he said nothing.

"What is it Jack." She said softly, not sure where they stood anymore.

Jack seemed just as nervous as her. "I just wanted to say hello to Lilly." He smiled down at her, "how's she going?"

"Great," Kate said enthusiastically, she paused, "Do you . . . do you want to hold her?"

Jack looked surprised, but he carefully took her into his arms, rocking her softly, his face shining with a smile.

"She's beautiful Kate," he said handing her back, "she's just like you."

Kate blushed, "I never got to thank you." She said as they walked back towards camp slowly, "for helping me with…with the birth, if it wasn't for you…Lilly wouldn't be here."

Jack shrugged, unsure of what to say. "You know Kate; I should really be thanking you." He looked her straight in the eye. "After what I did to you-,"

"Jack you don't have to-,"

"No!" he cut her off. "Kate I, I was wrong." He shrugged, coming to a halt. "I didn't know how to handle it, and, I'm sorry. I need you to know that." He put on arm on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry Kate."

Kate forced herself to look into his eyes too.

"I know," she whispered quietly, "I'm sorry too Jack."


"What you moping about?"

"What?"

Kate tore her face away from the crashing waves and saw Sawyer standing beside her with a sleeping Lilly in his arms.

"You've been moping all day Freckle's," he said, settling down in the sand next to her.

Kate didn't reply, she just stared out at the never-ending sea before her.

Sawyer didn't seem to know what to say, the only thing breaking the silence was Lilly, who had just woken up.

"D'you think they'll ever find us Sawyer?" she asked quietly, still staring at the sea.

Sawyer shook his head. "Hell, I dunno Freckle's, what's it been now, a year almost?"

Kate sighed, she hated this, the feeling of being trapped. All her life she'd run, but here she couldn't run, even if they found them they'd catch her, and now she had Lilly-she couldn't even bear the thought of that.

Suddenly Lilly began to cry, Sawyer handed her carefully to Kate, "she's hungry Freckles," he told her softly.

Kate smiled at him softly, as Sawyer drew her into a hug. "Ain't no one ever gonna take you away freckles." Sawyer whispered, understaning her concern.

"so don't ya worry."


Hope you enjoyed it.
