"Who are you people, and what am I doing here?" she cried out in utter terror and that seemed to break jack's heart even more at the mere fact that she didn't remember him at all. What did those bastards do to her he bitterly thought to himself. He turned his attention once again to his beauty once again and tried his best efforts to calm her down somehow.

"Kate it's okay your among friends, alright!! My name is Jack, and that's sawyer and Danielle" he declared pointing to the two weary figures in the background!!!

"There's nothing to be scared about, we're not here to hurt you we're here to protect you, okay honey!!" jack expressed in a calm manner that on some level soothed the confused woman to an extent where she felt that just maybe she could learn to trust this man. To his utter relief she calmed down after repeatedly receiving his reassurance, and agreed with their plan about returning to camp.

Morning came and with that they set off for their journey back to camp with a nervous looking Kate who kept on recieving comforting glances from jack showing her that it was completely okay to be doing this and that he would be there for her as only a friend he thought sadly to himself. Right there and then though he made the decision to make it his first priority to get her to remember somehow because at this moment he realized that he needed her, needed her to help him breathe and to keep him sane, their baby needed her ,oh my god it suddenly hit him, does she even know that she's pregnant, cause she wasn't exactly showing being that she was just a few weeks pregnant. He knew that it would be wrong to keep it from her especially since he seemed to be the only one she trusted now. He was brought out of his thinking by the very soothing voice of the women who constantly plagued his dreams.

"Hey…Jack is it? Kate nervously asked and he nodded. "So were we friends.. I mean. before you know?"

It took him a while to respond because he couldn't just tell her everything all at once even though every fibre in his body was literally screaming at him to do it. No, he knew she needed time to regain that friendship and trust and then he would see where that would take them. "Yeah…we were, I mean we are good friends I hope" he asked the brunette nervously with a smile on his face. In response she just took his hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze to ease his nervousness.

"Okay I hate to break up the whole goooogly eye parade but we really need to get a move on" sawyer grumbled interrupting them out of their intent gaze. In return jack just glared at him and continued on not letting go of kate's hand, feeling comforted by the familiar chills he felt when he was touched by her in the slightest way.

After a stressful four hours or so they finally arrived at the all familiar place they now called home, being welcomed immediately by a swarm of survivors utterly relieved that they were all back including Danielle as well who was just stunned at the gesture but accepted it anyway with a shrug.

"Oh my god kate are your alright" Claire cried embracing the confused brunette in what funnily enough looked like a death grip but the blonde refused to let go, she was so happy to finally have her friend back. However the happy soon washed away when the blonde pulled back to received a confused glance from the woman.

"Kate? Are you alright what happ…" Claire managed to say before jack interrupted her asking if he could talk to her in private. She agreed right away and directed him towards her tent. Kate on the other hand was utterly confused by what was happening , were he and Claire together?, a part of her was happy for her new friend for finding a truly great woman but the other part felt weirdly saddened and disappointed that she wasn't that woman. She however dismissed those thoughts for now and decided that their possible relationship was none of her business and she just waited for jack. He re - appeared a few minutes later with a comforting Claire promising her that she would help her through this but juliet on the other hand who was listening in carefully to jack and Claire's conversation saw this as the chance of a lifetime.

Later on that night the survivors started to settle in for the night and kate was sitting in her tent feeling physically and mentally exhausted and was just about to retire when the tarp of her tent was pulled back and in walked in a person she had never seen before but she a forced a slight smile on her face anyway.

"Hi kate! My name is juliet!! So how are you holding up?" the interested blonde asked.

"well not so good really, but jack has really been helping me. He's a great guy you know!!" kate replied with a smile remembering the game of twenty questions he was playing with her earlier, picking out certain things she used to do like climbing trees and always going out on hikes.

"Oh you don't have to tell me. He's the greatest guy I've ever known." the blonde said smiling.

"So do you and jack know each other?" the curious brunette inquired.

"Oh yeah!! Jack and me go way back." the blonde cheerfully declared making the smile on kate's face disappear immediately.

"Wow I never knew you two were like that. Well I'm happy for you two" the brunette declared sadly forcing yet another smile on her face and suddenly making the excuse that she was really tired. The blonde felt satisfied with what she had done and agreeing to retiring for the night as well. Once she left, the brunette collapsed onto her makeshift bed feeling crushed and decided to drown her sorrows in her slumber.

She opened her eyes and was welcomed with daylight and the faint smell of fresh water and blood, she looked to her side and was surrounded by the wild growth of the jungle that seemed to venture out into an unknown abyss she'd dare not enter, she looked to the direction of her bruised hand and saw that the painfully tightened cuffs were gone which weirdly gave her a sense of freedom at that very moment. She tried to get up wincing in slight pain but ignoring it anyway, her curiosity to find out where the hell she was winning in the end. She walked for what seemed like miles attempting to massage her sore wrists to ease the itching when she suddenly stumbled into a clearing to be met with the most beautiful sight she had ever witnessed.

"Excuse me, did you ever use a needle?" the shirtless man asked.

Oh my god he's talking to me, why the hell am I feeling like a giddy school girl she thought to herself well answer him, say something. "um….I made the drapes for my apartment" nice going kate nice going she mentally scolded herself.

"That's great, that's great I could really use your help" the man spoke turning slightly to reveal the open wound on his left side immediately putting fear into the now uneasy brunette.

"You want me to sew that up" she said with fearful tears threatening at her eyes.

"Look I'm a doctor, I'd do it myself but…" the man declared but was once again interrupted by the brunette.

"No with the drapes you use a sewing machine" she said hurriedly the fear intensifying.

"look I can talk you through it, please…if you wouldn't mind" the man begged.

How the hell can I say no to him she told herself , "of course I will" she confirmed eliciting a charming smile from the man.

Then suddenly she was hit with another memory, it was dark and hot but the heat wasn't just around the room , it was also radiating from her body as well and at first she wondered why that was but as she looked up into those same hazel brown desirous orbs, her question was answered. He was saying something to her she could barely hear due to the pleasurable way she was feeling right now. In all her life she had never felt so utterly loved and complete. His loving caresses and desirous kisses he was placing on her now fully exposed skin urged her on to return the loving gesture so she just ran her hands through his hair gently pulling him even closer in an effort to never loose the way she was feeling right now with him. After a few minutes he pulled away and just brought his hot mouth to hers engaging her in a deep and loving kiss with his eyes wide open hell bent on showing her just how much he cared about her. Then she felt him start to move his body over hers, his hot skin gently grazing against hers making her feel like she could combust with desire any minute. "oh god jack!! don't stop baby!!" she moaned underneath him massaging his shoulders and then she suddenly opened her eyes yet again and was brought back to reality with a much more different and disappointing view.

"What the hell was that!!" the shocked and now awake brunette said to herself getting even more confused as to what she had just dreamt.
