A lot had happened in the next week since the incident on the beach. Jack told kate about Claire and she was more than thrilled for him at finding something so special and with that they celebrated into the night, emotionally and physically. From there on jack had literally become kate's shadow. Most of the time she would relish in having his company but sometimes she just couldn't stand it, especially one time when he nearly followed her to the toilet which of course she declined right away saying that this was starting to get a little ridiculous. To her surprise he didn't get mad or hurt in return but the saddened expression that dawned on his face at that very moment was enough to make her take back what she said. So she just hugged and kissed him, reassuring him over and over again that nothing was going to happen. Little did she know that danger lurked just a little bit closer than she would have estimated.
Her morning sickness was back in full swing now and even though she was thrilled at the fact that she was having jack's baby, she couldn't stand being weak and having to rely on other people, mainly jack who was at her side every morning making soothing circles on her back, calming the tears that came out along with the remenants of what she had eaten the previous night.
This was now the tenth day she had spent cooped up in their tent thanks to jack who kept on begging her to stay put for the time being, at least until he was free of his doctorly duties for the day. She waited for about five minutes and then finally decided that enough was enough so she pulled back the tarp of the tent to only be met with the refreshing sea breezed sun coated day along with the regular movement and chatter of the survivors, but there was one of them who kept on looking in her direction and upon closer inspection she saw that the figure became clearer as it came closer. So she braced herself and decided to be nice, well for the time being anyway.
"Hi kate!" juliet exclaimed rather cheerfully to kate's surprise.
"Umm!! hi! She replied nervously warning herself mentally around this woman.
"So how are you keeping?" the blonde woman asked with the hint of a creepy smile.
"Oh I'm doing a lot better now and I'm also starting to remember a few more things as well, a lot of things actually!!" she replied with a hint of sarcasm at what the blonde had told her before. The blonde just smiled in return and at that very moment kate was ready to throw down with her and wipe that stupid smile of her face altogether but just then she saw jack coming out of the jungle noticing her presence right away and then offering her a little smile along with a worried expression as well. So she politely excused herself and went to see what was wrong, hoping that it wasn't anything too serious.
"Hey" she said walking up to him and touching his arm. He smiled slightly in response but he grew serious once again.
"Kate what are you doing out here?" he asked rather sternly. His tone was enough to make her wince in pain but she pushed it to the side for now and just tried to keep her emotions in check.
"Jack I was getting bored out of my skull sitting cooped up in a tent with nothing to do other than sleep. I need to do something jack!!" she stressed not making jack feel any better whatsoever. So instead he just turned away from her gaze and put his hand over his face, allowing the tears of stress to fall once again. In return her heart broke for him and she just embraced him from behind, allowing her fingers to rub soothing circles, trying to ease some of the tension but it clearly didn't seem to work as he suddenly whipped around and met her gaze once again.
"Your bored kate!!! well try to put yourself in my fucking place for just a second!!! You have no idea how hard it is to watch out for thirty odd people, plus worry about …" he paused for a minute trying to get his emotions under control thinking back to what happened on the beach "you and our baby!!" he said before collapsing onto his knees sobbing so hard that it completely shattered kate to think that she didn't even consider the position he was in all this time. Although she didn't have time to comfort him because she suddenly felt a stabbing pain around her belly area and she cried out in pain at the sensation, and it was enough to get jack's attention right away.
"Kate!!! Kate honey, what is it!!" jack said in utter terror, trying to keep her conscious but he was failing gradually as she slipped back into a deep sleep mouthing the last words "it hurts jack!!"
With that he gathered her up into his arms and ran towards the direction of his tent where he kept all of the medicine. As he ran out onto the beach, all the survivors ran up to him, all volunteering to help out in any way but jack didn't respond instead he just kept his gaze focused on kate's unconscious form hoping to god that she would come out of it, if not for him then for their baby. Soon all the commotion had literally brought the whole beach to jack's tent including juliet who literally bolted when she received word of kate's condition. This is my chance she evilly thought to herself and with that she made her way into jack's tent, putting on a concerned face for the distressed doctor.
"Hey jack is there anything I can do?" she asked softly laying a comforting hand on his stressed shoulder. In response he just looked up at her with a tearful expression and mouthed four words, "bring me the serum!!"
In return juliet hung her head for a few minutes, mentally going over the last touches of her plan and when she was satisfied with it she met jack's sad gaze once again and suddenly made the excuse that there was some of it in her tent which was about a mile down the beach seeing as people still didn't trust her completely but jack on the other hand seemed to be seeing her in a different light now , seeing as she helped his sister and all. So with that she offered to stay with kate and once he left without hesitation, she was finally alone with her to act on her plan once and for all.
She got the container containing her plan out of her nap sack and threw it on kate right away, allowing for the spider to work it's magic over and over again until the last thing she heard was a loud moan coming from kate which she managed to muffle in time so she wouldn't be caught in the slightest and with that kate was forced into a deathly sleep. She immediately retrieved the spider and started screaming for help which came right away in the form of sun and claire, and sayid who went to go get jack.
"What happened?" Claire asked in fear coming into the tent and immediately welling up when she saw kate's very still form. In return juliet just kept nodding to herself hysterically babbling incoherently trying to convince the crying blonde that she too had no idea what happened and with that she ran out of the tent and into the concealing jungle which managed to hide her true intentions for now.
Soon jack came bolting in and took in the tragic scene in front of him. Claire and sun were crying uncontrollably at kate's side trying to comfort each other in attempt to calm themselves down , knowing that they needed to stay strong for jack who was already crumbling more into the abyss of his sorrows by the sight of his pale love who looked like she was in such a peaceful sleep. He immediately put his emotions to the side for now and crouched down to kate's level, checking to see if she had a pulse but as he did it sun put a her hand over his, stopping him and telling him that it was too late and that she was gone, but he still shut them out, clearly not believing it for himself and then he went about performing CPR on her, trying everything in his power to get her back. With each pump he made to her heart, the tears in his eyes started to get thicker and thicker eventually making it's trail down the path of his devastated cheek, then continuing on towards the area of his now breaking heart. He was near screaming at her still form at this point, screaming at her to not give up and to come back to him but after an agonizing hour of repeated pumps to her still heart, he had to finally admit it to himself that she had left him and their baby behind. At first he started screaming at her as to why she did this to him but soon enough his emotions got the better of him and he finally gave into the mourning tears over a lost love. He collapsed down onto the makeshift bed and just buried his face in her, his warm skin making contact with hers but not receiving anything in return but the cold, freezing aftermath of death. Sun soon excused herself , too emotionally stricken to stay any longer leaving Claire alone with her mourning brother. At first she too thought about excusing herself as well but then she looked back at the devastated form before her and then she suddenly made the decision to be there for him no matter what, because as of now he was family, her family, so she just leaned forward embracing him from behind and cried along with him over the loss of a friend, lover and mother.
The day soon turned into night and the beach was still in silent mourning over their loss, especially jack who was still in the tent staring blankly at kate's body, not willing to do anything else but wallow in the misery. Claire continuously tried to convince him to at least get some fresh air but he softly declined and gripped kate's lifeless hand even tighter clearly suggesting that he just wanted to stay right where he was, for the rest of his life if need be he said to himself. So now he just continued on staring at her with no emotion or life in his eyes except for the void that seemed to get bigger in his aching heart forcing him to let out his emotions again with tears that seemed to keep on coming, refusing to make him feel any better about what had happened. That night he cried himself to sleep and dropped down exhausted with his tears by her side still weakly holding onto her hand.
While this was happening, juliet was standing at the edge of the jungle with a walkie in her hand, giving the go to the person on the other side to make the move, now that the shield was down, but she also had another surprise for them, a surprise that Ben would be more than pleased with she thought to herself looking in the direction of the tent where kate was in at the moment. With that she went about acting on her plan before it was too late and she was caught out.
(On the other side of the island)
This time he woke in what seemed to be a room. His eyes literally popped out at what he was seeing. He tried to regain his balance as he got up to explore more of his new housing conditions. He finally walked to the mantle in the dining room and was met with a sight he wasn't all that familiar with, and in some ways it worried him to not know where or who he was at this point. He kept his gaze focused on his shaggy features in the mirror and the more he stared at himself, the more he got lost. Soon enough there was a hurried knocking on the front door which distracted him out of his reverie. He opened the door to be met with a smaller man who he didn't know either but maybe he had answers the lost man thought to himself.
"It's time………Jacob!!" Ben declared to the shaggy blonde man making him stare blankly and then agree none the less, following the smaller man out of the house to only be met with a big group of shabbily dressed people.
