Ok, so sorry everyone! I havent update in a looong time! I hope I havent lost all my readers! I was really stuck and I need to give a HUGE thanks to doublell20 who has given me so many ideas! And so much insperation to carry this on!
A few months passed rather smoothly, besides Sawyer and Ana's constant death stares and arguments, thankfully none of which where heard by the camp.
"Hey Kate" Jack shouted.
"Yeah?" Kate replied.
"Could I borrow you for a second? I need to get this luggage up to the hatch… I'd ask Ana but she isn't in any condition" Jack asked.
"Yeah its fine I was looking for something to do anyway" Kate smiled.
"Thanks" Jack said handing her two of the smaller cases.
"So how is she?" Kate asked as they started their trek.
"How is who?" Jack said.
"Ana" Kate replied "How is she?"
"Oh she's doing fine… little cranky but that's just the hormones" He said smiling vaguely.
"Good" Kate smiled back.
"So you and Sawyer?" Jack asked.
"What about us?" Kate enquired.
"How are you two doing?"
"Good yeah" Kate said.
"Why weren't you with him just now?" Jack asked.
"I think he went fishing with Jin or something" Kate said.
"Call the press Sawyer has a friend" Jack joked.
"He's not that bad" Kate laughed hitting him lightly on the arm.
"Sure" Jack laughed too, he liked making Kate laugh… he liked the music sound she made, the way the sun shone in her hair when she tilted her head – wait what was he thinking? Ana. Thoughts of Ana, that's better Jack, he scolded himself.
The rest of the journey to the hatch passed quickly with jokes and laughter, even a little light flirting.
When they arrived in the hatch they set the cases out across the bunks and began to rummage through them, Kate sitting crossed legged on the bed and Jack kneeling by the side.
"Did you even check these cases before you brought them Jack?" Kate asked.
"No" Jack admitted "I just thought it would be better for us to get them before Sawyer" He smirked.
"Yes well I can really say that Sawyer is dying to have this in his stash" Kate laughed pulling out a giant furry koala bear toy out of the first suitcase.
Jack looked at the toy and laughed.
"I might keep that actually" Jack smiled taking hold of the toy.
"Why?" Kate said incredulously "Got a thing for stuffed animals Jack?"
"No, no" Jack laughed "For Ana, I mean when the babies born"
"Oh yeah" Kate said, her playful mood fading slightly, she didn't know why but whenever Jack mentioned Ana she felt a little black cloud hover over her.
"Here Kate" Jack interrupted her thoughts "Got a little present for you"
"Yeah?" Kate said looking up from her suitcase.
"Yeah" He smirked pulling something out of the case.
It was a giant sundress, looked like it must have belonged to a well… large woman, it was a bright green fabric with giant yellow and purple flowers all over it. To but it bluntly it was horrific.
"I'm sure Ill go turning everyone's heads in this" She laughed grabbing the fabric and holding it against herself "Not even Naomi Campbell could pull this off"
"Kate you could pull anything off" Jack said getting lost in the mood and then after realising what he said, blushing furiously.
Sensing his discomfort, Kate decided to play along.
"Well we'll just see about that wont we?" She said "Close your eyes"
"What?" Jack asked.
"I'm not a peep show Jack" She smirked.
"Oh yeah right" He said blushing again after he realised what she was going to do. He turned round to give her the privacy she needed.
Kate tossed her clothes to the floor and pulled the many folds of material over her head, getting rather lost as she did.
"I think you could fit ten of me in her" She muffled from under the material.
"You done?" Jack laughed.
"Wait… yup" Kate said.
Jack turned around and couldn't help but burst out into laughter.
The dress reached the floor, the material waved around her body in huge flaps, the neckline fell way down as the straps were so huge.
"What do ya think?" Kate chuckled striking a superstar pose.
"Gorgeous" Jack said nearly crying with laughter.
"Come on then captain I'm still in my on clothes lets see what we can find you to wear" Kate challenged.
"Bring it on" He laughed rummaging through the next suitcase.
Within half an hour Kate had on the sundress, a pair of flippers, a large floppy sunhat and a bra over the top of the dress that was several sizes to big for her.
Jack on the other hand had on a bright orange Hawaiian shirt, a pair of green wellies and a woolly hat.
As well as dressing each other up they had actually found a stack of useable items; medication, practical clothes and shoes, a couple of magazines and books to entertain people and several other items which they stacked in one of the suitcases.
"Oh Jack you have to wear this" Kate laughed pulling something out of the final case.
It was a toy stethoscope. She had found a play doctors kit containing some play bandages, plastic scissors, empty plastic pill bottles and the stethoscope.
Jack looked up and saw the stethoscope and smirked. He plugged it into each ear, as it was for a child it was stretched tightly, what with all his other clothes the total effect was hilarious.
Kate stood up and strutted around the room, casting a pose and a pout in every corner she passed, tossing her hair around with a huge grin on her face.
"What the hell are you doing Kate?" Jack laughed.
"I'm a supermodel" She said "C'mon strut with me" She giggled.
"Strut?" Jack said shocked "I assure you Miss Austen I'm a doctor and I do not strut"
"We'll just have to see about that then wont we?" She laughed pulling him up.
Jack on the other hand had decided he wasn't moving anywhere, after a lot of tugging and pulling Kate finally managed to pull a very shocked Jack up off the bed. He wasn't expecting that much strength from her and toppled over.
They were a giggling heap on the floor, Jack on top of Kate, when Jack looked up and saw the last thing he wanted to see.
Ana.
She had a look on her face halfway crossed with extreme pain and anger. She looked as if she was going to do one of two things at that moment, rip Kate's head off or run off and cry.
She chose. Before Jack or Kate could say anything she had ran off out of the hatch.
