Ok everyone here's the next chapter. I've decided I think I'm going to extend the story a little cause I had an idea so it looks like two more chapters and an epilogue. I keep saying that and the story will never end.
CHAPTER 25
Kate sat up from his embrace and looked at him slightly shocked. "Marry you?" she stammered. Jack looked at her and gave her a small smile. He sat up and rubbed her back soothingly.
"Yeah marry me." He gave her a hopeful look. Kate bit her lip and crawled out of the bed; she grabbed his shirt and pulled it on quickly. Jack watched her warily as she started to pace. Was she going to run again? He knew it was sudden and he had sprung it on her but he couldn't help the slight hurt he was feeling at her obvious agitation at his question. "Would it be so bad being my wife?" he asked carefully.
Kate turned and looked at him slightly shocked and she saw his pained expression. She looked at him her face softening.
"Oh no Jack please, I would be honored to be your wife" she said sitting on the bed facing him.
"Then what's the problem?" Jack asked.
"Jack I know I promised to try not to worry about rescue and things like that but Jack if we do get off this island, they're going to take me away. I can't do that to you, I can't swear my life to you when I know that I'm not going to be around to share it with you." Kate said tears pricking her eyes. The dream of marrying Jack and sharing her life with him is such a temptation.
"What if we don't get rescued Kate, what if we stay on this island forever. I want to marry you because I want to make our love official. However, not saying the vows or standing before our friends isn't going to make our love mean any less. Please Kate don't worry about rescue or life off of the island, I made you a promise I'd fix it so please just trust me." Jack said taking her hands in his.
"I do trust you Jack, I'm just scared." Kate said.
Jack pulled her into his embrace and settled her into his lap. "I know you're scared, sweetheart so am I but I want to take the chance I want to risk it."
Kate looked at him chewing on her lip nervously. He was willing to take a risk on her and that was much larger than her taking a risk on him. She imagined being his wife, raising their baby together. She wanted this more than anything she looked at him and smiled. "Ok" she said softly.
"Ok?" Jack asked looking at her his eyes widening.
"Yes" Kate said her smile widening. "I will marry you" she let out a squeal when Jack pulled her down to the bed and settled on top of her.
"Really?" he asked excitedly. He buried his hand in her hair and cupped her head so he could look her directly in her eyes.
"Yes" Kate giggled throwing her arms around his hugging him tight. Jack pulled her mouth to his in a crushing kiss. Kate moaned as his tongue entered her mouth. They kissed deeply and Kate ran her hands up and down his back. Suddenly she broke away and Jack made a disgruntled noise as he tried to pull her back to him. Kate wiggled out from underneath him and jumped up and Jack looked at her strangely.
"Kate what are you doing? Come back to bed." He said patting the pillow.
Kate grinned at him, "We will have time for that later Jack but we have a wedding to plan. You need to talk to Eko and see if he'll marry us and I need to talk to Shannon and Claire and find clothes. You need to find groomsmen and we need mmph" Kate's babbling was cut off by Jack's mouth. He had gotten out of the bed and had pulled her tightly into his embrace.
"Kate get back in bed or I'm going to take you right here." Jack said huskily.
"Jack we have a wedding to plan we can make love later, I oh what are you doing?" Kate asked.
"Seems you've chosen right here" Jack said. He gripped her thighs and lifted her up and she instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist and clutched at him with her hands. He brought her close and entered her swiftly causing her to moan loudly. He held her still while he stood in the middle of the room thrusting up inside her.
"Oh god Jack" Kate whimpered in her position she couldn't do much so she just leaned her head on his shoulder and enjoyed the feeling of him thrusting up inside her and loving her fully. Soon her release was upon her and she cried out his name and was pleased to feel him come right along with her. Jack sat on the bed and cradled her to him. He kissed the side of her head and whispered.
"Now we can go plan the wedding. You can't tell a man you'll marry him and then deny him the right to love you properly." Jack said a smile in his voice.
"Point taken I'll be sure to remember that" Kate said lazily her head still on his shoulder her fingers tracing patterns on his back.
Jack kissed the side of her head and tugged her close, "I can't wait to make you mine" he said with a smile in his voice.
Kate pulled back and rested her forehead against his. "I've always been yours" she said with a slightly confused tone.
"I know" Jack said grinning "But there is something about marriage that makes it special. Like I know when I make love to you on our wedding night as husband and wife, it will be different even though we've made love numerous times before."
Kate felt a delicious shiver run through her body as the thought of a wedding night with Jack. "Hmm" she said nuzzling him. "Makes me almost wish we had waited" she said not really meaning it.
Jack pulled back and gave her a shocked look. "Uh uh no way I am glad we didn't wait." Jack said with mock horror in his voice.
Kate giggled and squeezed his shoulders "What?" she asked innocently.
Jack shook his head ruefully. "I think I would have lost my mind if I hadn't been able to be in you all this time" Jack said into her ear.
"I love it when you talk like that" Kate said stroking his chest.
"Like what?" Jack asked confused.
"You say things that if someone else did it would sound strange, but when it's you I just want you more" Kate said. "Things like you wanting to be inside me" she giggled "It makes me want to jump you."
Jack grinned at her "See and you go and say things like that and I want you more." He tugged her close and kissed her lovingly. Kate broke the kiss after a few minutes. She gave him a shy smile and blushed lightly. "As much as another round with you sounds wonderful, I'm afraid I don't think I can"
Jack gave her a careful glance, "Are you ok?" he asked concerned.
Kate giggled and rested her forehead against his. "I think you've worn me out doctor, I'm kind of sore. A good sore though, a really really good sore" she said kissing the tip of his nose.
"I'm sorry" Jack said concerned. He should have been more sensitive to her needs and known that with all the lovemaking they did in the last day that it would take a toll on her body.
"Don't be" Kate said shaking her head. "I don't feel bad I just know that I need a rest that's all. I feel perfect though and now that I'm your fiancée I have wedding plans to make. Plus I'm sure people are wondering if we're ever coming out of this room." She said kissing his chin.
"Now I'm going to take a hot shower and let some of my muscles relax after all the ravishing you did to me" she said with a wink. She grabbed her pants and threw them on and headed for the bathroom. Jack gave her a minute before he followed her in. They may not make love but Jack couldn't see why he couldn't help her wash her back.
Some time later they rinsed off and true to his word Jack only kissed and caressed her respecting her need to rest. They dressed and headed towards the beach. Kate made a beeline for Shannon and Claire.
"Hey guys" Kate said sitting next to Claire. The two women gave her big smiles. Word had spread that Kate and Jack had gotten back together and there was a collective sigh of relief amongst the survivors.
"Hi yourself" Shannon said looking at her carefully. Kate noticed Shannon's concentrated gaze.
"What?" she asked though she still couldn't hide her happiness from all that was going well in her life.
"You're glowing" Shannon said almost accusingly. "You're lighting up the whole beach"
"You're right she's lit up like a Christmas tree" Claire said.
Kate giggled, "Ok ok so I guess I have to spill all the details huh?" she asked with a smirk. Shannon rolled her eyes as if to say duh. "Well in case you haven't heard Jack and I are back together."
"Oh we know that" Shannon said waving her hand. "We figured it out when Susan came running down the beach blubbering and crying."
Kate grinned at that, it may not be nice to laugh at others misfortunes but that bitch had it coming as far as Kate was concerned.
"Well so anyway Jack and I are back together and though it's not official he is convinced I'm pregnant." Kate said with a big grin and Shannon and Claire giggled excitedly.
"Oh I'm going to be an aunt" Claire said clapping her hands together.
"This is so great" Shannon said. She looked over at Kate, "Wait a minute, granted you're happy about everything else but you look like you're going to pop a blood vessel there's more isn't there?" Shannon asked.
Kate gave the biggest smile she'd probably ever given another human being. "Maybe" she said with a tease.
"Spill it" Claire said.
"Jack asked me to marry him, he wants to get married here on the island and everything" Kate said excitedly. There was a moment of pure silence and then squealing was heard from the blonde women as they jumped to their feet pulling Kate with them and hugging her hard.
"Oh my god that's so romantic" Claire said grinning.
"Ok we have to find clothes and any make up we can as well" Shannon said already going into wedding planner mode.
Kate grinned knowing this wedding would be the best wedding ever.
Jack meanwhile was talking to Sayid and had asked him to be his best man. The Iraqi had been touched and honored at the request and accepted immediately. Jack was telling him he'd like to marry Kate tomorrow or the next day but no later than that. Their conversation was interrupted by loud squeals and screams of delight. It seems Kate had just told Shannon and Claire. Soon Charlie came by and Jack told him the good news. A few minutes later the girls joined and Kate immediately went for Jack and settled in his lap facing the group.
"We we're just discussing details" Jack said kissing Kate on the side of the head.
"Yeah there's so much to do" Kate said but she was excited. Jack gave her a strange look.
"Not that much, I mean we get Eko and the group and we get married." Jack said.
The girls all rolled their eyes at Jack's masculine thinking.
"Jack" Shannon said. "A girl's wedding is the most important day of her life. Every little girl dreams about her wedding and marrying her very own Prince Charming"
"Got that already" Kate said tilting her head back and placing a kiss on his jaw. Jack smiled and kissed her shoulder.
"Anyway it's going to take time, I mean we have to find something to use as decorations we need to find clothes and sew and fix them the best we can. You and Kate have to figure out your vows. It's going to be a couple days to set everything up." Shannon said.
"Plus we have to catch some boar and pick fruit and cook from the hatch for the wedding dinner." Claire said.
Jack shot them a look. "A couple days? No way I was thinking tomorrow the day after the latest." He said looking down at Kate. He wanted to make her his wife and he didn't care what people were wearing or what they ate just as long as he and Kate got married.
Kate turned in his lap. "We'll never get it done in that kind of time. It's Monday what do you say about Friday?" Jack sighed but realized how important this was to Kate and wanted her to have everything she wanted. He could wait for her.
"Ok" he said smiling at her lovingly. "Friday it is but no later" he said trying to sound stern and failing.
Kate clapped her hands and then threw her arms around him hugging him tight. After a few minutes she pulled away and kissed his nose, "Can we go talk somewhere private?" she asked. Jack stood and took her with him settling her gently on the ground.
"Wait" Shannon exclaimed, "Claire and I need to know how many people to dress, who's in the wedding?"
"Well I was hoping you, Claire and Sun would be my bridesmaids" Kate said and the girls all hugged again.
Jack looked at Charlie, "What do you say?"
Charlie grinned from ear to ear. "Absolutely, wouldn't miss it for the world."
"I want to ask Jin and Hurley but that's too many guys" Jack said looking at Kate.
"Ooh no it's not" Kate said smiling. "I'll ask Alex"
So they managed to pick a wedding party and Shannon and Claire went to look for clothes. Kate was going to talk to Sun and Alex after she talked with Jack. She wasn't sure how well he was going to take her request. They sat in the sand away from the crowd.
"I was thinking about how you said our wedding night would be special no matter what" Kate started out. She looked over to see Jack looking at her and she was blown away at how absolutely gorgeous he was. "And I was thinking that maybe it would be even more special if we waited until then to make love again" she said quickly, peeking at him out of the corner of our eye.
"You want to wait until Friday to make love again?" Jack said almost sounding confused.
"Yeah, I just think if we remain celibate for even the next few nights it will make our wedding night really special." Kate said.
Jack rubbed his eyes wearily, it didn't make much sense to him but she seemed to really want it. "Ok if you want to wait we'll wait"
Kate grinned and kissed him hard. "Oh thank you Jack I promise it will be so wonderful Friday night. Imagine how it is between us when we've made love after we've been separated, now it will be like that but we will be making love as husband and wife for the first time." Kate grinned and was so pleased that Jack had agreed.
"Ok but I'm warning you, if you start teasing and playing with me all bets are off" he growled playfully pulling her into his lap.
"I was going to suggest we sleep away from each other" Jack looked up quickly and Kate knew he'd argue that. "But I decided I can't sleep without you."
Jack pulled her close and held her to him as the waves crashed on the beach, the things he did for the woman he loved.
