When he did eventually reach the beach, it was utter chaos everywhere. Unfortunately three men had died and Desmond managed to escape the clutches of the monster in time with a deeply wounded and unconscious Charlie.

"What the hell happened here?" jack asked loudly stopping the chattering survivors from confusing matters anymore and listening in on their leader. For a few minutes there was nothing but silence between everyone and then a sudden moan from a dizzy Charlie made jack get to work right away before it was too late. He signalled for Desmond to take him into his tent knowing that all the medicine and bandages he won back from sawyer were all still stashed safe away in his tent.

All the commotion had also attracted kate's attention and thoughts from what had happened earlier in the day between her and jack. She still couldn't believe what happened, but she still couldn't seem to get past how right and natural that kiss felt. It seemed to have awoken feelings she hadn't had in a long time ever since Tom. She just had to find out if it meant anything, even if he was with juliet. She came out of her tent eventually and was suddenly met with the busy scene in front of her and a stressed out jack trying to get everyone to calm, her heart really went out to him at that moment cause if it was seriously her in that position she would have given up a long time ago and probably killed herself to try and get some peace and quiet for once, so she decided to go out and see if he needed her help at all. She saw him taking a short injured man to his tent and decided to follow.

"Hey jack" kate declared entering his tent and making him stiffen for a second and then return the sentiment.

"Hey kate! Everything alright?" he asked getting up giving her a brief smile along the way and then going back to the task at hand. God even his smile makes me go crazy with desire for him she thought to herself but quickly wiped away and saved it for another time. Desmond had left right away making some excuse, so jack was left on his own trying to not only bandage up his seeping wounds, but also try to keep him from losing consciousness in the process as well. She heard him grunt stressfully when one of his many sound started to seep through the bandaging.

"Need any help with that" she offered crouching down to where he was and briefly brushing past him along the way and sending chills up jack's spine. He too knew that they needed to talk sometime soon hopefully because he was far from done with her. He missed what they had, the closeness, the happiness, the sex, he even missed the few times they used to argue and then make up seconds later like bunnies. He just had to make her see he thought to himself glancing at the busy brunette once again getting lost in her. She didn't really wait for jack to confirm that indeed need help because she assumed it anyway and went right to work straight away. As she was patching the blonde man up, she could literally feel his deep gaze setting off a passionate fire from within her and looked up in time to catch a glimpse of his concentrated gaze on her and hung her head in return blushing furiously for some weird reason. Once she managed to compose the blushful colour her cheeks so proudly showed off, she looked back up into jack's deep brown gaze and just took comfort in it for a few minutes, never having felt so safe and warm in her whole life. They were suddenly interrupted yet again by a slight moaning coming from Charlie and to their good luck it seemed to be louder which obviously came across as a good sign that he was getting slightly better. So the two went about patching up the remainder of his wounds and trying to get some food and water in him as well.

By the end of the day jack was completely knocked out but he still had kate on his mind and the fact that they still needed to talk so he asked kate if she could meet up with him a little later on after he freshened up and ate something. To his surprise she agreed right away and said that she would come back to his tent in a few hours. It literally pained him physically whenever she left him alone. In some ways he felt like a piece of him was missing and he longed for it to be together again. Maybe it would happen a lot sooner than he thought thinking about their meeting which was going to happen later on tonight.

The time finally came which what seemed like days for kate who was counting down every single millisecond to the time when she would finally see jack. On her way there she was met with a person whom she met briefly upon her return from the others but never got the chance to know properly mainly because her mind lately was constantly being plagued by one Jack Shepherd.

"Hey freckles" sawyer declared with a flirty smile on his face.

"Excuse me" kate replied not recognising the nickname he had so honourably given her. In return he frowned at first and then realized her condition so he just muttered an apology and walked off not giving kate a chance to talk to him. At first she felt kind of bad for blowing him off in that way but as she saw jack coming out of his tent looking utterly delicious, all thoughts went out the window.

As he steeped out of his tent after maintaining the painstaking hours he spent away from her, he immediately felt her gaze on him and as if in a sequence of fate they both locked in on each others' gaze and once again got lost in it. He never even noticed her coming up to him because he was so entranced by her but he managed to come out of it when she was right in front of him.

"Hey so…" she smiled teasingly eliciting a grin from him and then suddenly realising that he needed to say something.

"Oh yeah come on in!!" he offered pulling back the tarp of his tent and ushering her in. Once she stepped inside, she gasped at the sight in front of her, he had taken the time to set up a quaint little picnic inside with two candles in the centre making it look very warm and comforting. Tears immediately sprung to her eyes at what he had so thoughtfully done for her but another part asked herself shouldn't he be doing this for juliet instead, I mean the blonde made it very clear that she and jack were an item. She was brought out of her thoughts by jack placing his hand on her trembling shoulder immediately noticing the tears that he somewhat felt responsible for.

"Kate what's wrong! Did I do something" jack asked in a tone of concern. In response kate just gave him a watery smile and threw her arms around him to his surprise and thanked him for doing this. When she finally pulled away much to his disappointment she immediately picked up on the sparks that ignited between them during their embrace and it managed to throw her even further. After a few moments of just staring into each other's emotion filled eyes, jack decided to break the silence and asked her to join him.

"Wow this is delicious" kate declared closing her eyes in pleasure at the feeling of the smooth grilled fish going down her throat like butter. The whole time jack just sat there with a smile on his face and feeling slightly aroused by her expression judging by the surprising bulge that had formed beneath his now confining jeans. He managed to try to slightly massage the painful erection without kate noticing at all thankfully and by the time he was done, he managed to get himself in control for the time being, well maybe for now he thought to himself with a naughty smile. He laid his gaze upon kate once again who now had a very mysterious expression planted on her face wondering if everything was okay. In return he just gave her a comforting smile, easing any worries whatsoever and thankfully they finished the rest of their meal in that spirit.

When the time to talk came, they were both really silent not because they had nothing to say, but because they had no idea where to start. After a few more minutes of dreadful silence kate decided to start off.

"So, jack how's juliet?" kate asked with a hint of sadness in her voice that jack had indeed picked on.

"Fine" he answered not really knowing why she had asked him about her in the first place, I mean it's not like he around her all that much anyway. Whenever she did try to talk to him or throw herself at him on several occasions , he managed to throw her off in an attempt to show her that he wasn't interested in her at all in that way cause his heart was already taken by a certain brunette he was staring at right now. Another awkward silence followed this and then jack decided to get right to it. So he walked over to her side and nervously took hold of her hands and intertwining them with his own.

"Kate about what happened earlier I…." jack said slowly but was interrupted by kate.

"No jack it's okay, I know it shouldn't have happened in the first place, I mean I was just so stressed about finding out that I was pregnant and I was just emotionally unstable, plus I would never want to do anything like that to juliet." kate went on hurriedly and in return putting jack in a completely confused state.

"Kate what are you talking about, and what does juliet have to do with this?" he asked with a confused expression.

"It's okay jack you don't have to explain anything to me, most of all your relationship with her!!" she confessed rather sadly hanging her head and allowing the gathering tears to fall. Jack was immediately thrown by what she had just said. Since when were he and juliet ever a couple.

"Kate what the hell are you talking about? Since when were juliet and I ever together!!" he declared clearly giving her hands a comforting squeeze at the same time, showing her that he was indeed telling the truth. She didn't really know what to say after that. A part of her was literally jumping for joy at the wonderful news but the other part of her thought where she would go from here on. As much as she wanted to invest in having a relationship with this wonderful man, she knew that her new found pregnancy would certainly be a lot for him to handle especially since she was under the influence that the father was still yet to remain un named. She looked up into jack's eyes once again which seemed to be a lot closer now focusing on her luscious lips and before she could say anything he whispered to her "you're the only one for me" and with that he made contact with those waiting lips once again, engaging her in a passionate kiss he had no intention of breaking anytime soon . To keep her from moving away from him, he gradually wrapped his arms around her nervous form and pulled her into his lap moving his hot mouth to her vacant neck as he did it. At this point kate couldn't seem to form a thought and for the moment kate just moaned sensually and relished in the feeling of being so loved and immensely turned on at the same time.

"Jack" kate breathed absent mindedly running her hands through his short cropped hair pulling him closer but also knowing at the same time that they should stop this and talk at least. "Jack….we have to oohhh…we have to stop" she whispered and in response jack just mumbled something against her neck and pressed his mouth to the hot flesh once again, showing her that he really didn't wanna talk right now. After a few more minutes of just nibbling at her neck, he gently carried her to his makeshift bed and laid her down, admiring the way she looked in the candlelight, making her seem almost ethereal to him. He slowly lowered himself over her and once he did he lowered his face to her ear and whispered "Do you really want to stop kate?" he strained to say grinding his throbbing need against her burning pelvis in an effort to show her how much he really did want her and how much he didn't want to stop. In response kate just leaned up and kissed him saying "Jack why would you want to be with someone like me. I mean your probably one of the first guys who hasn't bolted after finding out about being pregnant but…"she managed to get out before jack lowered his lips upon hers once again and then finally pulled back to say what he had wanted to say earlier on in the day. "The baby 's mine kate" he simply whispered emotionally making her eyes immediately widen with surprise. "But how…I mean… when.." she managed to get out before jack pecked her on the lips once again and then resumed with what he was going to say.

"Before you lost your memory we were captured by the others but you and sawyer" he stopped when she squinted her face in confusion at the name "the redneck with the long blonde hair" he said making her immediately put the face and the name together "yeah well you and sawyer managed to escape the others but I stayed with the others to help you guys do that but you came back for me unfortunately getting yourself caught in the bargain. I went to your cell on the night you were held and well we know what happened from there on" he smiled affectionately rubbing his large palm over her firm tummy. She was completely shocked by what she just heard, her mind immediately went back to the dream she had that night she come back, so it was a memory she happily thought to herself with a smile that was just plastered on her face at that point. She once again looked into those deep brown hazel eyes and then gradually leaned up to his lips once again to show him that she wanted this to happen for a while now. He accepted without any form of hesitation and deepened the kiss straight away , letting his hands roam across the access she was willingly giving him at the moment. He pulled away to look at her once more for a final form of confirmation and she just nodded in return and took the sides of his shirt and lifted it off him in one swift motion. She moaned at the delicious sight in front of her and leaned forward to place open mouthed kiss licking along his jaw and throat, tasting the salty flavour of his glistening skin. In return jack just closed his eyes and groaned loudly until it became too much and then he gently lifted her upper body to remove her tank top and bra. He gently nudged her back onto the bed and immediately latched his mouth onto one of her hardened nipples suckling and gently biting it enough to make her moan loudly and arch more of it into his hungry mouth. As much as he wanted to continue lavishing her breasts, he needed to free himself of the painfully tight confines restricting him from being with her fully. So he sat up on his knees and slowly flicked the buttons on his bulging jeans watching her eyes darken with lust with each flick. Once he buttoned it all the way down she took him by surprise when she reached out and grasped his thick and throbbing member, popping it out and possessively grasping it within her small hands and then started to move it up and down making him slightly thrust at the action. He allowed her to continue for a few minutes until it got too much for him when he suddenly felt himself swelling with the need to come and he wanted to experience that within her, and feel her coming as well. So he reluctantly stilled the frantic movement of her hands eliciting a cute pout when he did it so he just lowered his lips down to hers and told her to trust him. He then moved down slowly kissing her sizzling skin until he reached her trousers which he removed hurriedly to get what he so desperately wanted for so long now. Once everything was removed he just sat back and admired her in her full and utter beauty, the experience almost bringing tears to his eyes, suddenly knowing how lucky he was to have this woman in his life. He gradually crawled up once again over her hungry body until he was face to face with her. He smiled at her and then leaned down to kiss her once again, slipping his throbbing length within the hot recesses of her body where everything seemed to fit perfectly, like they were made for each other. For a few moments he just stayed in her and explored every corner of her mouth wanting to make this last forever but he sensed kate's impatience judging by the fact that she kept on arching herself up itching to feel him moving within her so he finally complied pleasing her with long and hard strokes allowing her to feel every inch of him in an effort to make her feel what he was feeling. As the moments passed their need for each other got a lot more frantic along with the movement of their sweat coated bodies brushing against each other making them even more hot with need and satisfaction. He was now moving within her at an insane pace sensing and hoping that she was nearing the same sweet release which was starting to boil within him and rise to the surface to only spill within her and fill her up completely. He noticed a change in her moanful gasps and sped up his thrusts even more going further within her in the process and making her scream at the feeling of him hitting her in her g-spot. She was at the point where she couldn't say or think anything except gasp in pleasure at how wonderful it felt to be loved in this particular way, of being connected with the one you love on such an intense level. Over the past few days a part of her mind always felt connected in some unknown way with him and now she was feeling that connection physically which only made the moment even more special. She was suddenly brought out of her dizzying reverie by being blinded with a white light and hearing jack shout her name out in intense pleasure. When she opened her eyes next she found him sprawled out over her with his head resting heavily in the crook of her neck breathing intensely and moaning slightly as she felt the last spurts of his release hit the most inner secrets of her core making her feel more alive than ever.
