Chapter 12

Hey guys it's me again and I bring with me the next update. A big thank you once again to everyone who reviewed. I'm glad that ur enjoying this story as much as I am writing it. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

P.S. Saw the lost episode "Expose" last night and in my opinion I thought that it was one of the worst lost episodes with two of the most pointless characters to ever be on lost, although the whole flashback interaction thing and the whole part about sun finding out seemed to make the episode watchable!!! let me know what you think!! Anyway without further interruption here's the next update!!!

Enjoy

Never in a million years did she ever think that this would be her life after she spent most of it on the run. She was now stranded on a creepy filled island, meeting people she came to know and regard as friends over the past three months and finding true love within a person who trusted and believed in her more than she ever thought possible and now she was living with the outcome of that love growing in her womb. Speaking of true love where the hell was jack and what was keeping him. She gave it a few more minutes and lost her sense of patience and gave into her curiosity to find out for herself.

She walked carefully downstairs and stepped into the surprisingly dingy and poorly lit lounge to only find a sight that pained her heart physically. Jack was sitting on the floor with his head in his hands looking utterly defeated and devastated. She was at his side in seconds.

"Baby, whats wrong?" she asked touching his arm with worry and concern in her voice.

He didn't respond to her instead he just pulled her into his arms and embraced her tightly truly terrified that she might be taken away from him any minute. After a few minutes of taking comfort in her loving embrace he pulled away to fill her in on what was going on.

"Jack your scaring me, tell me what happened" she asked with fear.

"He knows kate! he knows." he simply said in a helpless manner trying to see some way to get out of this.

"Oh my god…no….this can't be happening…not now" she kept on muttering getting overtaken by her sheer fear and grief realizing what effect this might have on the baby she knew she cherished more than her own life.

"Hey kate!! Look at me!!! honey look at me!!! I swear on my life that I will get us out of this." he said in a comforting tone trying to calm her down and trying not to amp up her stress in the midst of her pregnancy cause that was simply the last thing they needed right now.

"When do we leave?" she asked him softly.

"Tonight! Just pack a few essential things like food, water and some clothes and we leave tonight" he said.

"I don't really wanna be here to witness what might happen tomorrow!!" he said more to himself than her.

She agreed right away and ran off up upstairs to pack up while jack stayed downstairs, ripped the camera out from it's hidden point and then scouted the perimeter through the front window to see which route was a best form of escape without being easily spotted of course. A few minutes later she came downstairs with a dirty stuffed looking ruck sack slung over her shoulder ready to make the trek back to the place they truly called home for the past three months.

As he saw her, he gave her a reassuring smile and then went to retrieve the gun that he kept in the draw of his work table hoping that he wouldn't have to use it unless it was completely necessary. He then walked back to her, took the backpack off her shoulder receiving a glare from her showing him that she could clearly do it herself but giving in due to his constant case of chivalry which she didn't mind to a certain extent. He then checked the perimeter once again and when he saw it was clear, he grabbed her hand and they quickly disappeared into the night hoping that they wouldn't have any threatening interruptions along the way.

It had been over five hours and the couple were now running blind through the thick dark jungle not really knowing where they were going at the moment but trying to get as far away as possible from the place they never wanted to return to, ever. As they got further and further into the forest, they started to see a faint light that upon closer inspection looked a lot like a torch being held by the one and only "sayid?" jack managed to utter in complete shock.

The Iraqi turned around suddenly pointed the gun he had straight at jack's chest, still under the suspicion that jack was turned by the others judging by the last time he saw the doctor. However before he could pull the trigger kate stepped out in time and assured him again and again that it was safe saying that jack was on their side all along.

"What are you doing here sayid?" kate asked .

"Lokking for you two." he answered simply. Just then Danielle stepped out from the bushes seeing it was safe and assuring them especially Jack that she posed no threat as well.

"What is she doing here?" jack asked the still weary Iraqi.

"I'm here for my daughter and I'm not leaving without her". she stated interrupting what sayid was going to say.

"And I'm going with her." sayid finished stepping in to maintain his promise but still none the less worrying his friends as to what might happen to him in the bargain.

"Sayid that's suicide, you really have no idea what they're capable off" jack said firmly knowing that over his stay with the others that he learned quite a lot about their tactics he thought bitterly remembering the last conversation he had with Ben.

"Well jack I think I can fend for myself without your help" he replied with a hint of annoyance feeling utterly insulted by the fact that jack thought that he couldn't handle the situation despite knowing of his experience in the army.

"Sayid he's right , you really have no idea what they will do to get what they want." kate said deciding to step in before jack sayid were at each other's throats.

"Sayid we're wasting time! we need to get moving" Danielle declared ignoring the glares she was getting from the couple.

"Excuse me but I have to go" sayid sated but was suddenly stopped by a pissed off jack refusing to let anymore people die at the other's hands.

"Let go jack, I'm warning you" sayid hissed in a dangerous manner.

"No! you all wanted me to be a leader and that involves not letting any of your people become casualties. No one is asking you to be a hero!" he shouted to try and knock some sensed into the changed Iraqi.

"Don't tell me what to do jack!" he shouted back with an expression of anger that not only startled jack but kate as well. This was not the sayid they new and befriended.

What they didn't realize though was that jack and kate were indeed being followed along by a curious juliet who radioed Ben of what they were doing. She was forming a plan of her own and that involved getting kate out of the way no matter what. By now she, Ben and a couple of other men were hiding securely behind the bushes witnessing the doctor and the Iraqi getting close to losing it with each other.

"Juliet I want you to go back with them!Tell jack that you were forced to tell me about the baby, make up an alibi and get him on your side and then we'll take care of him once and for all for his treachery!!" Ben whispered in leader mode.

"What about kate?" the blonde stated pointing at the frightened brunette.

"We'll take care of that!just stay here while we go take care of her." ben said ordering the men to form an ambush.

"Guys stop it! Just stop it." kate said getting in between the two headed men fearing that they might actually kill each other, although her fears were only intensified by the arrival of the one person whom she really didn't want to see or meet ever again.

"Be-b-en?" kate stuttered catching everyone's attention.

"Well, well , well!!!I should have seen this coming jack" Ben said before he ushered the men to attack. To jack it all happened so soon, one minute they were standing there in front of the creepy man and the next he was knocked out clean hearing the distinct cry of his name in terror that he knew came from kate. He woke up from his dizzied state to find sayid unconscious on the floor with a bullet through the left side of his arm. He rushed to the Iraqi's side and then looked around for kate, fearing the worst right away. "No! No! anyone but her". he said to himself allowing the tears of grief and fear to get the better of him.

"Kate! Kate! Give her back to me!" he kept on shouting, demanding for return but knowing that it was useless cause they were long gone by now.

He then heard a soft female voice and for one minute thought that his prayers were finally answered but as the figure was uncovered, he became less relieved and more angered and disgusted.

"Jack…" juliet managed to get out before she collapsed on the floor thinking that this was the best way to carry out her plan.

Jack just stood there not knowing what to do at that point, he desperately needed to get kate back but his doctorly mode kicked in and he knew that he had to take them back to camp. So he got to it and lifted sayid on his right shoulder and juliet on the left which was not an easy task to carry out but lucky for him he was close to camp, so he made his slow journey back there, his mind on kate the whole time.
