"Honey I'm home!" Kate joked in a sing song voice as she returned to the shelter that afternoon, but taking one look at Sawyer's troubled face she knew that it wasn't the time for jokes "Are you ok?" She said softly, sitting down beside him.

"Just dandy Freckles" He said coughing back a lump in his throat.

"Are you sure? You don't look it…" She said placing a gentle hand on his arm.

Sawyer flinched away, it wasn't that he didn't love her, he didn't know why he did it, was is guilt?

"I'm fine" His said this time his tone sharp and cutting.

"If your sure…" She trailed off feeling hurt, why had he pulled back from her touch, had she done something wrong?

"Of course I'm sure! I wouldn't say so if I wasn't would I?" He spat out quickly and angrily, immediately regretting it.

"Whatever Sawyer, I'll just come back when you've calmed down" Kate said trying to mask her hurt with anger, but failing as tears sprang in her eyes. She whipped around to hide them as she stalked out of the shelter.

"Oh god Freckles" He whispered sadly springing up after her. "Kate!" He said grabbing her arm and twisting her around.

"What?" She said trying desperately to blink back her tears.

"I'm sorry ok?" He begged hurriedly "I don't know what came over me, I've just had a… had a bad day, bit of a headache" He lied.

"Ok, I'm sorry too" She said uneasily, not really believing his story but not wanting to push it as they went back into the shelter.

"You get it?" Jack said hopefully as Ana Lucia entered the hatch.

"Yeah" She said, holding the small box out in front of her.

"Good" Jack said, at loss of anything else to say, the atmosphere in the hatch was dense, no jokes no laughs, the air deadly serious. "You should go to the uh… bathroom" He said finally.

"Yeah" Ana repeated turning towards the door to the bathroom slowly.

She got into the bathroom opening the test as slowly as possible, any reason for her to delay was taken. When she had finally exhausted every opportunity she took several deep breaths before taking her test.

Jack watched her come back into the computer room of the hatch her face a mixture of emotions and Jack didn't know which one to address first.

"You ok?" He asked lamely although it was obvious she wasn't.

"Yeah" She replied, it seemed that was all she could say today.

She set the test down next to the computer as Jack motioned for the top come and sit with him, she slipped comfortably onto his lap and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Ana, whatever happens…" Jack started, looking for a way to comfort her "Whatever happens, I'll still love you"

Why had he said that? Those words just made her feel even guiltier and this time she couldn't help but let out a few choked sobs.

"Hey, hey Ana…" He said softly hugging her tightly "I mean it, whatever happens I'll still love you, nothing can change that"

"I know" She said weakly attempting to smile at him through her tears.

Ana managed to compose herself and she then lay comfortable on Jack, both of them staring at the test.

"Should we uh… check it now?" Ana finally said.

"Yeah, it should have been long enough now" Jack replied. "You want to get it?"

"You can" She said.

"You sure?" He asked.

"Yes, you look" She insisted, her voice stronger this time.

"Ok" He said reaching for the test.

"Its positive" He said a huge grin exploding across his face.
