Ok, so here we are Jaters!
"Hey Kate" Jack said brightly as he approached Kate at the water collector.
"Jack" She smiled "I haven't seen you in a while" It wasn't a question, yet her voice carried a questioning tone.
"Yeah I've just been down in the hatch and with Ana-Lucia and stuff" He said surprisingly awkwardly, Jack didn't know whether it was his eyes playing tricks or just the mixture of happiness and fatigue he was getting, but he swore he saw Kate's face drop when he mentioned Ana "You?" He asked.
"Just been down by the beach" She said "And with Sawyer and stuff" She added.
"Cool" Jack said lamely, at lack of anything else to say "Uh… how's he doing?"
"I didn't know you cared" Kate said faking shock.
"Well I don't really" Jack chuckled slightly.
"He's just the same old Sawyer" She smiled fondly "How about Ana?"
"That's what I was coming to talk to you about actually" Jack said.
"Why what's up?" She asked quickly, worried she had hurt him in some way, she knew she had already hurt him by choosing Sawyer, she didn't want him to be hurting all over again.
"Its all ok, it's great actually, good news" Jack smiled reading the expression on her face.
"What?" She said, now somewhat interested.
"Well uh… we did a pregnancy test and Ana well she's… she's pregnant" He said, his face breaking out into a huge grin.
"Oh Jack!" Kate said, her voice coming out at a sort of high pitched squeak, feeling the look on her face didn't show the happiness she should be feeling for him she quickly hugged him to hide it "Congratulations" She muffled into his shoulder.
"Thanks" He smiled as they stepped apart "I mean, its going to be dangerous on this island and everything… no hospitals, no medical equipment… not to mention the others"
"Yes but she does have an amazing doctor" Kate smiled.
"Well yet again thanks" He grinned sort of sheepishly. "Well, I just wanted you to know first, you're like one of my best friends on the island so…"
"Well thanks Jack, for thinking of me so highly" She smiled.
"Its no problem Kate, you're a great person to think highly of" He assured her.
"Did you ever think it would be us?" She blurted out.
"What?" Jack asked alarmed.
"Oh… nothing doesn't matter" She said quickly, suddenly finding the water below her very interesting, she could see her reflection showing that he cheeks where glowing pink which only made them turn to more of a red as she began to speak. "It wasn't anything, it was just, when before me and Sawyer… did you ever think, I dunno, that maybe I would be where Ana is" She said, now her voice lacking all tone of question.
"Well I must say Kate that I hadn't really thought this far with anyone, not even with Ana so I wouldn't have with you. Yes, I did like you, I'm not going to deny that, but then you chose Sawyer so I accepted that and moved on, and know your one of my best friends here, not that I had many back home"
"Funny how things turn out huh" Kate said.
"Yeah, funny" Jack said softly before leaving a very embarrassed Kate standing on the beach alone.
Major sorry it was a small chap! Hope that hit the spot for my Jaters! So we've had Jate, now its time for some Sana...
