Thanks! I´m glad you like it.
CHAPTER 2:
Jack and Kate are alone in the hatch now. Kate is feeling a little uncomfortable; she´s not so experienced with babies and she can feel Jack watching her. She smiles at him, lifting the baby in her arms. Jack is about to say something, but then the alarm goes on.
Jack little confused: I´ll get it.
Aaron starts crying – the alarm scared him.
Kate: Oh, no, no… don´t cry, sweetie. It´s nothing. It´s just some stupid buzzer. Uncle Jack will fix it in a minute.
But the boy is still crying, so Kate lifts him up; then puts him on the ground, leaning gently above him.
Kate: Hey, I know what will cheer you up. She leans down to tickle the baby´s stomach with her head. Aaron starts calming down, replacing tears with laughter. Yeah, you like that, don´t you? See, Charlie was right – you can laugh when you want.
As she continues tickling him, Aaron unexpectedly clutches his fingers around her hair, pulling her tightly.
Kate trying to set herself free: Hey, that´s not fair. Let me go… She tries to unfold his fingers, but the boy´s grasp is too strong.… Come on, Aaron. Leave Auntie Kate… Please…
But Aaron seems determined not to give up, so Kate is forced on her last solution, because her neck already started to hurt her.
Kate: Jaaack… Uhm,… Can you come here for a second? I… I could use a little help.
Jack comes immediately, totally unprepared for the scene in front of him. He bursts out laughing.
Kate pretending offended: HEY!
Jack still laughing hard: I´m sorry. It´s just…
Kate: It´s not funny! Jack gives her a look.… Okay, it´s funny, but it ain´t that funny! Jack chuckles. … Well, you´re gonna help me or not?
He kneels down next to her, gently detaching boy´s fingers from her hair.
Kate: Ouch!
Jack still giggling: Sorry.
Kate looks at him.
Kate sarcastically: You´re enjoying this, aren´t you?
Their eyes meet. He´s amazed by her beauty. He leans closer to her, his lips only inches away from hers.
Jack whispering: You can´t even imagine how much.
With that said, he leans even closer, his lips searching for her mouth… They are kissing, totally unaware of anything else. Finally, the baby moves a little next to them. Kate feels it, backing away from Jack´s mouth.
Kate: Jack, uhm… the baby.
Jack still under the impression of the kiss: What? Kate points at Aaron who is smiling, happily playing with his hands. Oh, yeah…him.
He gently picks Aaron up; then puts him in some sort of a baby´s shelter they made earlier, putting the piles of books around so that he couldn´t escape. He gives him a plush toy they found in the plane; then turns his attention towards Kate again.
Jack approaching to her: Now…where were we?
They start kissing again and continue making out, more and more passionately. They are so occupied with each other that they even don´t hear the door opening.
Charlie seeing the two of them: BLOODY HELL!
