"And where've you been Sweet cheeks?" Sawyer said his voice slick with sarcasm attempting covering the worry he had that she'd been gone and the relief she was back as Kate appeared casting a shadow over his book.

"Ah was Sawyer worried" She teased her tone light as she sat herself down into the airplane chair next to him.

"Well Freckles I think I have a right to be worried when your out tramping in the jungle with Jackass" He said smoothly folding his book away.

"Oh so he wasn't worried he was jealous?" Kate teased a playful smirk dancing on her lips.

"Why were you out there anyway?" He said gruffly trying to change the subject… no way in hell was he jealous of that Jackass.

"He wanted to talk" She said simply kicking off her sandals and stretching out in the chair, Sawyer forgot his questions for a while as he sat memorised as the muscles in her legs writhed supply and the way her tank top rose as she stretched reviling the fleshy cream of her skin.

"What about Princess? He finally kickin' Muchacha out and asking ya to move in with him to Cavetown?" He smirked after he regained himself.

"No he just wanted me to be the first to know about him and Ana, cause were friends" She explained.

"Well I hate to break it to the man but after their whole 'kissin-by-the-fire' times I think everyone already knows" He smirked.

"No not about them, Ana's…" Kate said suddenly feeling she didn't want to say it, didn't want to make it real to herself that Jack was with Ana… that they were having a baby "She's pregnant"

"She's what?" Sawyer said stiffening; Kate felt his slack presence next to her tighten.

"Don't tell me you don't know what pregnant is Sawyer" Kate said rolling her eyes playfully, trying to dismiss the fact that she had definitely felt him tense when she told him the news "I know you dropped out in 8th grade but…"

"Alright with the smart comments Freckles" He said mentally kicking himself for letting the feeling of well… fear slip. Kate had tried her damn best to hide it but he had still heard the confusion, maybe even worry in her voice after he had reacted that way. "Just didn't know the Jackass had it in him"

Kate laughed and her laughter made him forgot the news he had just got for a moment, her laugh so light and free so musical "What you annoyed Jack got this victory first?" She said giggling at her own joke.

What if he didn't? A voice smirked evilly in Sawyers head what if Jack didn't get there first what if it was his baby? Sawyer shook the thought, it was the Jackass's had to be, they were well… together he and Ana had only that once time… Just one times enough said the malicious voice.

Making the excuse with Kate that he needed to take a leak Sawyer headed of into the jungle in search of Ana, he needed to make sure she knew just what was going to happen here.

He found her easily she was walking down the path in front of him.

"Ana" He said in a low threatening voice "We need to talk"

"And why doesn't this surprise me" She muttered to herself obviously not threatened by Sawyers anger.

"Why did you tell me?" Sawyer growled.

"Well seen as you want nothing to do with this baby what gives you the right to know about it?" She asked steely.

When Sawyer said nothing Ana continued.

"Even if it could be your baby" She said her voice quiet but still heard it the silence of the jungle.

Sawyer whipped his fist up and grabbed Ana's shirt pinning her against a tree, his face inches from hers breathing deeply onto her face, his eyes blue eyes staring madly into her fearful brown ones.

"This aint my baby" He said whispering so Ana barely heard his words but his cold tone was clearly audible. "It aint nothing to do with me it never will be. Don't go thinking you can try and use it against me to get any favours"

"I wouldn't want any favours from you Tex" Ana replied harshly.

"Well good cause I don't want any from you" He spat "This is where we end, nothing ever happened and I don't want anything more to do with you-" He paused tightening his grip on Ana before he continued "And you don't tell anyone, Kate cant know about this ever"

"Well I'm not exactly planning on anyone either cause believe me I'm not hot on the idea of Jack finding out" She retorted smoothly "As for you and Kate" She added, deciding to add poison to the bites they had already swept at each other "I wouldn't worry about me messing things up if I were you, I'm sure it'll mess up all by itself and well even if it doesn't you'll have a hard time seeing each other from your prison cells James something tells me they don't provide his and hers cells"

At this point Sawyer snapped. No doubt her saying his name shook him but when he mentioned Kate and prison, yes she mentioned him too but he'd been in many times before it didn't faze him, but all that filled his mind was an image of Kate in a prison cell, staring blankly with those once sparkling green eyes, her face expressionless, like her soul had died… he couldn't take it. He roughly let go of her shirt and pushed her backwards, she stumbled into the tree and tripped over a tree root landing perfectly on her ass.

He turned away from her willing the picture of Kate to go out of his mind but it wouldn't.

Kate questioned him all night to as why he was so well… distant but he never said. As they lay in there tent that night Sawyer grabbed onto Kate subconsciously pulling her closer and closer until he was nearly suffocating her, desperately trying to keep the happy, alive Kate in his sights to try and force out the terrible picture which kept floating into his mind.

Hmmm... not my best chapter but I hope its ok.
