Ok everyone so I've taken into careful consideration everyone's opinions on how the story is going. All I ask is that no matter what happens and no matter how much you want to throw knives at me I'm still 100 Jater so no matter how bad things may get there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
CHAPTER 23
No one had seen Jack for a week. It was if he disappeared into thin air. Kate sat in the sand with her knees drawn up to her chin watching the water but not really seeing anything. She knew it was her fault, she had driven him away and other survivors were drawing that same conclusion as well. She had stopped eating and only drank rarely and usually that was when Sun forced her to. The turning point was when Sun reminded Kate that she could be pregnant and that she needed to care for the baby. This had sent Kate into a fit of hysterical crying as she thought about the life inside of her. She had missed her period so she figured it was true. She hadn't spoken to many people either. Sawyer had called her out on her suddenly spending time with him. He said he didn't mind her throwing herself at him but the least she could do was actually want to be with him. Though Kate didn't say it Sawyer read it in her eyes. That day would never come. No, she would always be Jack's whether she was actually with him or not.
She knew he saw her the day she kissed Sawyer on the cheek, she had glanced at him from the side and the sight broke her heart. He had just stared at her not knowing she was looking back, his shoulders dropped and he went back into the tent. She never saw him leave so she cautiously had gone back inside expecting him to be there. He wasn't and neither were any of his belongings. He had cleared all of his stuff out and it looked like he had never been there in the first place. Kate had scoured the shelter hoping maybe something would be left behind for her to secretly treasure but no such luck.
Kate lay down and closed her eyes and the sound of the waves soothed her into sleep.
"Kate!" she was standing by the water and looking out when she turned to see Tom. He looked different than other dreams he wasn't bleeding and in fact looked happy. "So you did it again huh Katie?" he asked standing beside her looking out at the water. Kate looked at him confused. He rolled his eyes. "What did I say to you in the car before I died? I told you if you stopped running you could have a real life. No offense Katie but I'm getting a little annoyed watching you ruin your life in my memory when you obviously didn't even get what I was saying".
Kate glanced at him, she couldn't believe she was getting yelled at by a ghost. "What are you saying?" she asked.
"I'm saying Katie, I told you if you stayed you would have a good life, you ran and look what happened?" Tom asked.
"I killed you" she whispered.
"Cut the crap Katie you didn't kill me the bullet killed me so knock it off. Anyway yeah you ran and your life sucked. Now here you are on a deserted island with a great guy that you love. I like him too by the way he seems good for you. Anyway here you are living the good life with a baby on the way; yeah you are indeed pregnant so start eating better. So here it is Katie stay and live a good life or run and get what I'm saying?" Tom asked.
Kate thought, "Stay with Jack and have a good life, run and live in hell. What about Jack if we ever get rescued I'll go straight to jail. I can't do that to him" she said stubbornly.
"Oh so you'd rather sentence him to a life of misery. Oh well gee that's better" Tom said sarcastically. "What if it were different? What if Jack was looking at jail time, would you let him push you away? Would you abandon him?" Tom asked.
Kate shook her head furiously, "No never" she said with conviction.
"So how about you give him some credit?" Tom said.
Kate looked down at her feet, "I love him so much and I said such horrible things to him." Kate whispered a tear falling down her face.
Tom sighed, "Yeah you did, you brought out a side of him that he himself hates. You screwed up Katie and it's going to get worse before it gets better. The only advice I can give you is just to hang on to him, fight for him no matter how bad it gets. If you hang in there eventually things will get better." Tom said.
"Promise?" Kate asked and Tom nodded
"By Katie, good luck" Tom said and he walked away.
Kate sat up waking from her dream, she looked around and focused her eyes. The dream had been so real to her. She sighed and rubbed her eyes, could it have been true? Did Tom come to talk to her? She let their conversation run through her head and it was clear as a bell. She remembered every word and every detail unlike other dreams that were hazy and forgetful. Was she ready to take his advice and give up her fears and give herself to Jack completely? She sighed and looked at the sky. "Ok Tom I get it, I'll fight for him." Kate whispered.
"Kate!" she looked up to see Sun coming towards her.
"Hey Sun" she said shading her eyes from the bright glare from the sky.
Sun sat down and looked nervously. "Jack is back" Sun said quietly.
Kate looked at her sharply and she quickly scanned the beach for any sign of him, "Where?" she asked desperation in her voice.
Sun looked down, "He's at the hatch" Kate jumped to her feet she had to find him and beg for his forgiveness. "Kate wait" Sun called but it was too late and Kate was already running towards the jungle. Sun put her hand to her head knowing what Kate would find would surely kill her.
Kate ran through the jungle and towards the hatch. She reached the door and reached for the handle when her dream came back to her.
It's going to get worse before it gets better.
Kate took a deep breath it was ok she could do this. She entered the hatch and walked into it slowly letting her eyes adjust to the indoors. She heard voices coming from the living room area. She entered and the first thing she saw was Jack. He looked beautiful to her and the sight of him brought tears to her eyes. He was sitting on the back of the couch with his feet on the cushions and talking to Charlie and Hurley who were sitting down.
"She'll be fine" Jack said and Kate noticed his tone of voice, it sent chills down her spine it was so cold and lifeless. "She just needs to keep off it for a couple days and she'll be fine. It was a good thing I found her when I did." Jack said. Kate quickly stepped back into the shadows to not be seen. Who was Jack talking about? Suddenly the bathroom door opened and out came Susan; she was wearing shorts and Jack's white shirt. She was wearing Kate's favorite shirt. Her hair was wet and Kate noticed Susan was hopping more than walking.
Jack jumped up and put his arm around Susan's waist. "Come on time for you to get in the bedroom."
Kate watched as Susan shot Jack a sly smile, "Are you going to join me?"
Jack smiled, "Maybe" he said. He leaned down and scooped Susan in his arms and carried her into the bedroom and kicked the door behind him with his foot. Kate felt like she was going to throw up. Never in her life had she felt the pain that was ripping through her body at that moment. How could he? How could he sleep with that that thing? Kate tried to wrack her mind they had only been apart a week and he was already sleeping with another woman. The thought of it made Kate's knees weak and she slid to the floor and bit her fist to keep from crying out in agony. Oh God what had she done? She knew the tone he had was the one when he didn't want to feel anything, he was about to sleep with some woman he didn't even know and she had driven him to this. She heard Hurley and Charlie talking and Kate managed to catch her breath and listen to them.
"What the bloody hell is going on?" Charlie asked in a loud whisper motioning to the door. "He's been gone and suddenly says he's spent last night with the island slut cause she hurt her ankle? I mean it man what the hell is happening here?"
"I don't know dude, word is Kate left him for Sawyer and he just kind of snapped. Sayid said he took off into the jungle the day after Kate broke up with him. Sayid said he wasn't even sure Jack was going to ever come back. Now all of a sudden he shows up with Susan who he says he found on one of the trails. It was too late to make the hike so they spent the night out there last night. They come back today and according to Locke Jack was blitzed, completely drunk. He handed Susan off to Sun and passed out for the whole afternoon. Now Susan suddenly wants to be with Jack and only Jack and he doesn't seem to mind." Hurley said.
"It's not right" Charlie said shaking his head. "I mean do you think they slept together?"
Hurley sighed sadly, "I don't know but he was pretty drunk and from the way they just acted I'm going to think probably so. God this is going to kill Kate."
"Kill Kate?" Charlie asked lowering his voice as if afraid her name would conjure the wrath of Jack. "They were happy that day then all of a sudden Kate's all over Sawyer and Jack goes AWOL into the jungle? Something tells me this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Kate."
"I know dude but seriously it hasn't even been a week yet. I haven't seen Kate with Sawyer but Jack is suddenly all over Susan. Shouldn't there be like a grace period over these kinds of things?" Hurley asked. "And did you see the way Jack is acting, it's like he's a robot. He's had like no emotion what so ever it was almost scary."
Suddenly the door opened and Jack came out. Kate jumped to her feet ready to flee when she heard Susan scream from the other room that he was a bastard. Jack went back and slammed the door.
He shot Charlie and an amused smirk. "She's a gimp she won't be coming out anytime soon.'
"What happened?" Charlie asked. "She sounds pretty pissed."
Jack let out a cold chuckle, "It seems last night in my drunken stupor I slept with her now she wants a relationship or some shit like that. That yelling was the result of me explaining it was a one time thing. I don't even remember the sex so it couldn't have been all that good." Jack said with a shrug.
"Uh if you don't remember it how do you know you actually uh had it?" Hurley asked.
Jack stopped and looked at him for a second. "That's a damn good question, thing is all I have is her word on it she says it happened but she's also a little bit insane. So maybe I never slept with her. Oh well you win some you lose some. Look do me a favor her clothes are in the wash can you make sure when she changes you can get my shirt back before she demolishes it?" Jack said he was reaching into his pockets looking for something.
Kate couldn't stop her body from shaking as she heard him talk the thought that maybe he didn't sleep with Susan helped but the fact that he didn't care one way or the other hurt like hell. She couldn't take it anymore and she turned and ran from the hatch tears streaming down her face. When she got outside she tripped and fell to her hands and knees. She felt her hands scrape raw and her pants rip. She had no energy to get up and she just curled into a ball and sobbed uncontrollably with no care as to whether she lived or died.
Jack was searching his pockets and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He had quit but this last week he had felt no need to prevent lung cancer and had picked up the habit again. Not many people knew there were cartons of smokes in the hatch and he had taken a few for himself. What the hell he deserved it.
"Jack uh have you seen Kate?" Charlie asked quietly.
Jack stilled, no matter how hard he worked at it her damn name still ripped through his heart. "No" was all he said.
"Um well I guess she's not doing so well, not eating and drinking. I guess Sun has tried to get her to but she hasn't been too successful." Charlie stammered.
"And why are you telling me?" Jack asked focusing the pain in is chest. The sooner he dulled her memory from his brain the better off he'd be. He was pretty sure he hadn't slept with Susan the night before and he knew the only reason he didn't was because of Kate. Damn her to hell. Before when he was this way it was so easy find a girl, fuck her and be on his merry way. But no every time he closed his god damned eyes she was there in his head. He shook his head clearing his thoughts. "She's Sawyer's problem now" he said and with that he walked out of the hatch.
He was fumbling with his lighter when he heard an awful sound. It sounded like a wounded or dying animal. Curious he looked around and followed the trail getting closer to the sound. To his utter shock he came around and found someone lying on the ground curled in a ball. He froze it wasn't just anyone it was Kate and she was sobbing hysterically. He looked around not sure what to do. Part of him was screaming at him to run to help her, the other part said walk right over her and don't look back. Jack sighed almost annoyed he couldn't just leave her there. He walked closer to but kept some distance.
"Kate?" he said her name and got no reaction at all. He said it again louder and still nothing. He muttered to himself and leaned down and shook her arm saying her name louder. Kate looked up at him and gasped quickly jumping to her feet and backing away from him slightly. Jack felt a pang go through him. She must be backing away from him in fear he thought remembering the harsh words she had said to him the last time they were together.
He straightened and shook his head slightly. "I'm not going to hurt you" he said. "I was just making sure you were ok" he quickly glanced over her when he saw her pants ripped at the knees and her palms looked raw and bloody. "There are supplies in the hatch, Charlie can help you get cleaned up, I wouldn't bother with Hurley he just faints at the sight of blood." With that Jack walked past her really wanting his cigarette now.
"Jack?" she called out to him. He stopped but kept his back turned refusing to look at her. "Can we talk for a second?" Jack turned to her and kept his face completely expressionless.
"Sure talk your heart out" he said coldly. Kate moved a step closer to him and ignored the sting in her hands and her knees. Jack watched her warily as she approached.
"I want to say that I'm sorry about that night. I, uh, I had a nightmare and I took it out on you and I'm so so sorry. I didn't mean the horrible things I said." She whispered looking at him with pleading eyes.
Jack chuckled. "This is priceless Kate, even for you. What you and Sawyer have a fight and you figured you could what throw me in is his face? No thanks." He turned to leave.
"No" her voice came out in a sob. "I was never with Sawyer." Kate said.
"Funny you looked cozy to me" he said refusing to look in her direction.
Kate took a strangled breath, "I did it on purpose, and I knew you were watching. I got scared Jack, I was sure I was going to ruin your life so I panicked. It's what I do best. I freak out I destroy everything good in my life and I run. I thought I was doing the best thing by letting you go. I only used Sawyer to end it with you." Kate said sadly.
Jack shook his head, "Well looks like you got what you wanted cause we're ended, now if you'll excuse me I have to go and…" he was cut of by Kate.
"I love you" she said. "I know I don't deserve your forgiveness for the awful lies I told you but please just know I love you."
"Awful lies?" Jack said with a bitter tone. He whirled on her and Kate jumped when he was standing in front of her. "What exactly were those awful lies Kate? When you told me you loved me? When you told me that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me, or how about when you said you wanted a family with me? Weren't those the awful lies you're talking about" Jack bit out trying to control the rage that was building inside of him.
Kate shook her head frantically, "No Jack those things were the truth I did want those things, I still do. The horrible things I said about wanting out or how I felt about your past those were the lies. I didn't mean them."
"Funny" Jack's voice was dead cold and Kate felt shivers run down her spine. "They sure came off your tongue pretty easily."
Kate wanted to run and hide and just die but Tom's words came back to her. Fight for him no matter how bad it gets. Kate held her ground and looked up at him, "I love you" she said. Jack flinched as if he'd been hit. He didn't want to hear this; he wanted her to just leave him the hell alone. He struck out at her not with fists but with words of hate.
"Go back to Sawyer, Kate." Jack said bitterly.
"I love you Jack not Sawyer, never Sawyer" Kate said.
Jack just shook his head, "You know Kate you're where I went wrong. I used to have a good system. Find a woman fuck her senseless and be gone the next morning. That's what I should have done with you. Now if you'll excuse me I'm sure I can find someone on the beach who can help me out with my needs" Jack gave her a charming but cold smile. Kate flinched but held strong.
"I love you Jack and I want a family and a life with you. I didn't get my period" Kate said. She watched as Jack stilled.
Jack fought the feelings growing inside him about her being pregnant. He looked at her and smirked. "It hasn't been that long; if you haven't already you can jump into bed with Sawyer and pass the kid off as his. Just do me a favor and let me know if that's the plan I'd hate to accidentally ruin that surprise. Or hey how do I even know the kids even mine to start with?" he said cruelly.
"I love you" Kate said again the words coming out chocked as his horrible words wounded her. She took a deep breath. "You can fight me all you want Jack but we both know this baby is yours and only yours. We also know that we still love each other." Kate said bravely.
Jack sighed annoyed, "You're right Kate I do love your body you're an awesome lay I'll give you that. I'd compare you to Susan but my memory is still kind of fuzzy on that one. I know you were in the hatch, I know you heard what I said."
"I don't care if you slept with Susan or not" she said.
Jack looked at her curiously, "Really? You'll still love me even if I fucked another girl?"
"I could never not love you" Kate said.
"Wow so I could just about screw every girl on the beach and you wouldn't care? That's noble of you Kate, pathetic but noble." Jack said. "Maybe we should try it out and see if it really works. Shannon and Sun are excluded because I like Sayid and Jin, and well Claire is definitely out now being we're related and all. So how about you run along and I'll let you know when I'm done." Jack said.
Kate took a deep breath she didn't know how much longer she could take his wrath. "Start with me" she said looking him in the eye.
"Excuse me?" Kate felt relief at the fact that seemed to have shocked Jack.
"You heard me, start with me." Kate said.
"Now why would I want to do that? I thought the point was to let me have fun and play with the other woman." Jack said.
"Cause I don't think you can do it" Kate said.
"You don't think I could do it?" Jack asked slightly confused.
Kate moved to stand right in front of him. "I don't think you could touch me, kiss me and be inside of me without realizing you still love me." She said huskily.
Jack looked down at her and shook his head. "This is ridiculous"
"Why because you know you can't do it?" Kate asked blocking his path as he tried to move around her.
"Maybe it's because these last few days I've come to the conclusion that you dropping out of my life has been the best thing for me. No more whining about your poor little life. What was it, how did it go? Oh yeah, everyone has a crappy life Kate join the club" he said throwing her words back in her face. "No more worrying about you going to jail, it will be kind of nice when we get rescued seeing you dragged off in handcuffs and not giving a damn about it" he said. "No I have to admit it Kate it worked out well I got to use you up and hey at least to my knowledge I got there before Sawyer." Kate's reply to his taunting was a loud smack as she slapped him hard.
They both looked at each other slightly stunned and before Kate could react Jack had her pressed against the tree her arms pinned above her head by one of his hands.
"You want to try that again?" Jack asked his eyes flashing and Kate couldn't help but feel they joy in seeing the fire in his eyes instead of the blank coldness.
"No, but you have to admit you had it coming" Kate said breathlessly. His body was pressed against hers and Kate closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of having him against her in what seemed like forever. She opened her eyes and saw him staring at her with a harsh glare. Kate moved quickly and lifter her leg and hooked it over his hip bringing their bodies closer together. "So come on Jack let's get you started, fuck me Jack."
Jack looked at her his eyes practically flashing, "Shut up"
"No" Kate said "Prove that you don't love me"
Jack wanted to shake her and slam her against the tree his anger was starting to boil over but he knew he would never do it. In all his life he had never used his hand on a woman out of anger and especially never a pregnant one. "Go to hell" he said his word pronounced.
"I'm already there" she said pressing her body against his "Come on Jack" she said goading him.
"I hate you" Jack spat out.
"I love you" she replied simply.
"I wish I never met you" he said cruelly.
Kate somehow managed not to flinch. "I cherish the day I met you"
Jack used his free hand and smacked the tree trunk, "Shut up" he shouted. Kate heard his voice crack and she pressed on.
"Prove that you don't love me, prove that I'm just a good lay" Kate said.
Jack let out a low growl and crushed his mouth against hers. Kate moaned and hungrily kissed him back. He undid her pants with his free hand and shoved them down. Kate used her feet to toe off her shoes and helped shake off her jeans and the underwear that he had also pushed down. He unzipped his own jeans and shoved them down. Kate's arms were growing tired from being held above her head but she didn't care. She had to break Jack she had to make him admit he loved her. She couldn't imagine what would happen if he made love to her and walked away. Perhaps she would give up the fight then. She could find a corner in the jungle to curl up and die in, but she couldn't think those thoughts now. She had to think positively. Jack moved his mouth down her neck as he sucked on the skin and Kate was sure he marked her. She lifted her leg up and re-hooked it around his waist and pulled him close.
Jack lifted his head and with sheer determination thrust inside of her with one push. He embedded himself deep within her. Kate cried out and she sank her teeth into his shoulder through the cloth of his shirt. She had bit hard enough she could taste his skin. Jack groaned in both pain and pleasure as her little teeth sank into him. He closed his eyes and pushed against her, it had been so long since he'd been in her and it felt like home. Kate groaned as her back scratched against the bark of the tree but she didn't care. He was in her and that was all that mattered. Jack started to thrust inside her forcefully.
"I love you" she whimpered.
"Keep your arms up" he ordered and he let go of her. Kate did as he said and kept her arms stretched above her though she wiggled them a little to get the circulation back. Jack slipped his arm under her leg that was keeping her balanced and lifted it up and wrapped it around his waist. The change in position made her move down him sending him deeper within her and they both groaned. Jack pressed her tightly against the tree and then moved his hand up to grip her arms again.
"So deep Jack oh god you're so deep. I love you, I love you so much." Kate said her head grinding back into the tree in ecstasy.
Jack moved within her his thrusts hard and fast. He buried his face in her neck and breathed her in. With each movement he made the more his heart melted for her. He tried to fight his love for her but he couldn't do it. He wanted to hate her to come in her and then throw her away but damn her and damn his own heart he couldn't do it.
He lifted his head and looked into her eyes. All he saw was love and it brought tears to his eyes.
Kate saw him looking at her and she saw a small spark in his eyes.
"Tell me" Jack begged. "Tell me you didn't mean those things. Tell me you love me and want my baby, god Kate please" he begged as he pushed into her.
Kate could feel herself tightening and she knew her release was almost on her. His words brought tears to her eyes and she answered him breathlessly.
"I do love you Jack, I love you more than life. I never meant those horrible things I said. I swear. You're not a monster you're beautiful and I could never grow tired of your love and I have never regretted a single moment I've shared with you." Kate found it to hard to talk as her body arched and began to spasm.
"Come for me baby" Jack said into her ear. He felt the emotion bubbling in him. He believed her when she spoke.
Kate came hard and fast and her body arched in ecstasy. With her arms pinned above her Kate felt like she was slightly out of control when all she wanted to do wrap them around him and touch him all over. She shook and cried out his name as the fire ran through her body.
Jack held her close feeling her body tighten around him and then slowly relax as her passion passed through her. Her head rested on his shoulder and he felt her kiss and lick the wound she left on him when she bit him through his shirt. Her soft voice spoke, "I was so afraid of ruining you but in the end the only thing I did was ruin myself. I don't blame you for hating me." Her voice was weak and spent.
Jack let go of her arms and she slowly lowered them to wrap around his neck. Jack hugged her close and he was still hard inside her. He began to move but no longer at the fast and hard rate. He loved her slow and soothingly. He pulled her from the tree knowing her back must be torn up. He thrust inside her gently and held her tight while she buried her face in his neck. He felt something warm on his neck and realized it was her tears. He felt the regret flow through him of all the horrible cruel things he said to her. He nuzzled her face with his nose and maneuvered her face up to his own. Her eyes were swollen and red.
He smiled softly at her and brought his lips to hers in a soft a sweet kiss while his body loved her. Jack could feel his release coming but he wasn't ready for it, not yet. Jack broke the kiss and looked into her eyes.
"I love you" he said softly and Kate looked at him with hope, disbelief and shock in her eyes.
"Even after all the horrible things I said?" she asked.
"Can you forgive uh the horrible things I said?" His body was tensing and he was close.
"Yes, oh god yes" Kate said pressing her mouth against his.
"Then so can I" Jack said. With that he gave two solid thrusts and came hard. Kate bit her lip and moaned at the feel of him coming inside of her. She had missed him so badly and her body was greedy with need for him.
When Jack was spent he slowly sank to the ground and cradled Kate in his lap. Kate was placing soft kisses all along his neck and face. Jack smiled and met her lips stilling them from their almost frantic travel across his skin.
"I love you Kate I never stopped." He said softly.
Kate rested her head on his shoulder and hugged him tight. "Can we, can we start over?" she asked.
Jack stroked her back his hand underneath her shirt. His hands gently caressed the scratches he felt that he had inflicted on her.
"No we can't" Jack said.
Kate felt her heart crumble she lowered her head and felt the tears gently drip down her cheeks.
Jack tilted her face up to his. "We were never over so there's no reason to start over"
Kate let out a happy cry and hugged him tight. They sat like that for a few minutes and Jack started to stand. "Come on sweetheart, I need to clean out your hands and look at your back."
Kate stood and dressed quickly as did Jack, both realizing they were on the main trail and anyone could have seen them. Jack took her by the hand and led her toward the hatch. Kate came to a sudden stop and he looked at her curiously.
"Susan is in there" her words were dripping with hate.
Jack pulled Kate to him. "I didn't sleep with her. I was walking back to camp when I stumbled on her. Yes I was drunk, very drunk" he said with a rueful smile. "But I remember now that I turned down her advances. She slept on one side of the fire and I on the other. I swear." Jack said. Kate reached up and pulled his head down and kissed him hungrily.
"I believe you" she said. They walked into the hatch and Charlie and Hurley looked up in shock to see Jack and Kate holding hands.
Charlie grinned, "Oh thank god" he said
Hurley also looked relieved. "Please tell me you made up."
"Yes Hurley we made up" Jack said with a genuine smile and the guys were happy to see their friend back.
Suddenly the bedroom door opened and Susan came hopping out with the crutches Locke had used. She had changed her clothes and Kate was relieved to see she wasn't wearing Jack's shirt. She was going to wash and bleach it a couple times over. Susan's eyes traveled over the room and stopped with a sudden jolt on Jack and Kate. Her eyes narrowed as she saw their clasped hands.
"Jack" she said in a biting tone. "Care to explain to me what she's doing here?"
"Why wouldn't I be here?" Kate asked in a haughty tone.
"Have you told her how you and I slept together last night?" Susan asked bitterly. Both Hurley and Charlie cringed hoping this wasn't the first Kate had heard of the situation.
Kate let out a loud laugh, "Oh you mean how he turned your skanky ass down and slept on the other side of the fire? Then yeah he told me. He also told me how you tried to convince him you had slept together." Kate said. She moved away from Jack's grasp and slowly walked toward Susan the way a cheetah would approach its prey before attack.
"He told you that huh?" Susan asked. "Don't you think he's only saying that to make you happy?"
"How many scars does he have on his chest?" Kate asked.
"Excuse me" Susan asked confused.
"Come on sweetheart if you slept with him than you would know how many scars he had on his chest, they are noticeable." Her hands and back were beginning to sting and Kate was quickly losing patience with the island slut.
"Five" Susan said getting in Kate's face. "I licked and kissed them all"
Kate's fist came out of nowhere and nailed Susan in the side of the face sending her crashing to the floor. Jack moved quickly wrapping his arms around her and pulling her away from Susan before any more damage could be done.
"Three you bitch, he has three." Kate sneered.
"You hit me" Susan screeched looking a Kate in shock.
"That's right, come near Jack again and you'll get more than a tap on the face." Kate said her voice turning deadly. Jack gently maneuvered Kate towards the kitchen and trapped her against the counter with his body. Susan got to her feet and stalked out of the hatch, at least as much as one could stalk on crutches.
Kate smirked cockily and turned to Jack who was looking at her with raised eyebrows. "What?" she asked with an innocent tone.
Jack shook his head, "I'm thinking I'm really glad you've seemed to have forgiven me for all the horrible things I said to you."
"Yeah well I said pretty nasty things to you too so why don't we call it a draw and never play that game again." Kate suggested.
"Sounds good to me" Jack said and he leaned down and their lips met in a sensual kiss while Charlie looked on with grins on their faces.
Ok so there was angst, smut, making up, fluff and even some Susan bashing so I hope that covered everything :)
