She had seen many awful things in her life but she could honestly say that nothing could have compared to the heartbreaking scene in front of her at this very moment in time. So I guess he's moved on after all she bitterly thought to herself. Without another thought whatsoever she walked away with a sleeping chris in her arms and returned to where Jacob was standing waiting anxiously for her. Once she approached him he immediately went into alert mode and took hold of her arms to find out what was wrong, seeing the tears now streaking her face. In response she just looked at him with a teary gaze and told him to take her home and without a word he got right to it, putting his arm around her and allowing her head to fall on his shoulder. Although Jacob wasn't taking her back to the other's camp, he was taking her somewhere else he knew she longed to return to regardless of what she had seen.
The whole time he was struggling to get out of her possessive grip and failed miserably so he decided to let his anger get the best of him and firstly he ripped his mouth from hers and pushed her off him as far as he could. He then gave her a steely and dangerous gaze and pointed his finger at her saying…
"You stay the hell away from me!!! You got that!!! I don't want to see you ever again and you can kiss our friendship goodbye with it as well!!" he warned her and with that he got dressed quickly and headed into the jungle to maybe chop some wood or something, in an effort to calm the anger he was feeling towards her right now. Naomi on the other hand was just stunned but then the realisation of what she had done started to sink in and her tears came along with it, sending her crumbling down onto the floor and sobbing uncontrollably for what she had lost, but still in the back of her mind she wasn't going to give up on one Jack shpherd!!
They had been walking for what seemed like days to kate but she paid no attention to the pain and tiredness of her body because the searing pain in her heart was outweighing it all. She had always thought that jack was the man for her, that he would never hurt or cheat on her, that he would always wait for her or maybe it was too much for him she sadly thought to herself allowing for the tears to fall once again not even realising that they had suddenly stopped.
"We're here" Jacob announced looking over the beach which was now housed by the people kate come to know over the last two years, practically. She looked up at his announcement and gazed at the same scene and became infuriated at first but then she saw a point to his actions.
"Look sweetheart, I know that if I took you back to our camp, then you would have spent your whole life wondering what if, and as much I would like you and chris to stay with me, I know that you wouldn't be happy at all making that choice so please just do this because all I ever want to do is make you happy, please" he said in a sincere manner.
In response kate just stood there stunned at what he was saying to her. So in acknowledgement to his kind and caring words she just leaned forward and lightly pressed her lips against his, lightly pecking him but still managing to send a shiver down his spine at the feeling.
"Thank you" was all she said with a smile and with that she headed towards the clearing on the beach towards the now gathering crowd of survivors leaving Jacob to watch on with a genuine smile on his face.If this is what she wants then so be it!! he said to himself.
Once she stepped foot on the warm sand of the beach, she was immediately hit with familiar memories, sinking, sinking with jack sometimes and the conversations they use to have while basking in the glory of freedom and she was suddenly brought out of her daydreaming by a shocked voice looking at her with their mouth open.
"Kate?" Claire gasped in utter shock nearly dropping aaron but in the end she managed to get a good hold on him. She literally thought she was seeing a ghost and then her shocked gaze amplified when her eyes caught hold of the small infant sleeping in her arms. Without warning Claire literally lunged at her and embraced her tightly with tears of happiness rejoicing that her friend was alive after all. Kate on the other hand was taken aback by this but relished in the feel of being wanted, plus she had to try and calm down chris who at this point was bawling in fear over being embraced by a strange figure he had never seen before. The scene had started to attract more faces and now kate was literally surrounded by a wall of survivors asking her incoherent questions all at once making her even more confused by the minute and making chris' wails get even louder so Claire hushed them all at once and told them to give her some space. They politely agreed and backed off saying that they were more than happy that she was back.
"Why don't you come stay with me for a while, until jack comes." Claire suggested making kate slightly wince at the mention of his name, suddenly remembering what she had seen earlier on today. She didn't even want to think about what or who might be keeping him at this very minute and at that very moment she caught sight of the same woman who she caught jack with and judging by her now dishevelled appearance, it seemed like they seemed to be having a good time she bitterly said to herself . She wiped away the tears that were now gathering and then she politely agreed to follow the blonde back to her tent. Once she sat down in there, Claire offered aaron's crib to chris and with a little more coaxing kate gave in and put the squirming infant in with his older cousin.
"So what's this little cutie pie's name?" Claire asked kate cooing over the now calm baby boy.
"Chris…his name is chris!!" kate replied with a genuine smile, feeling a little better than she was before. Although the next question Claire asked brought the pain all back.
"Is he jack's?" Claire asked softly, keenly noticing that kate hung her head at first and then when she managed to compose herself, she focused her gaze on the blonde once again and she simply nodded her head in an agreeing movement.
The blonde was about to go on when suddenly sun came rushing into the tent, firstly hugging kate fiercely and then announcing that jack had returned. No one had told him about kate's return even though Charlie and Hurley were itching to tell him. They wanted to leave it up to kate on whether she wanted him to know or not. Upon knowing this kate started to think considerably on what she wanted to do, the only reason I came back here was for him, but how can I be around him and not with him she sadly said to herself and at that very moment she came up with a decision she felt was the best thing to do regardless of what she had seen today. So with that she got up without saying a word and walked out of Claire's tent and like a magnet her gaze caught on the solitary silhouette of a male figure sitting at the edge of the beach staring blankly into space. She sub - consciously smoothened out what she was wearing and she walked towards the direction of his slouching form.
Jack on the other hand was so confused about what Naomi had attempted to do to him today. He had always regarded her as a good friend but never did he once think that her sheer desperation to be with him would lower her to debase herself in this way. He looked to the starlight skies for an answer. God kate I wish you were here with me he said rather loudly enough for the female figure behind him to hear. Why did you leave me here alone, why!! he managed to get before choking up with emotion and giving away to his tears of endless sadness and pain once again.
Meanwhile behind him kate just stood there with tears running down her cheeks once again feeling so horrible for weakening him to this point. She had to make things right.
"I'm right here!!" she announced softly making jack's head rise from his defeated position, thinking he was seeing things at first but then she repeated it again and this time he turned around and saw that she was really there, oh my god, she's really here jack happily thought to himself. Without any warning to her whatsoever he just walked towards her with a determined gaze and crushed her in his arms, allowing for their tears to mix with each other and their hearts to warm up with love and emotion once again for one another. He gradually pulled away and looked at her straight in the eyes, grazing his fingers across every inch of her face to make sure if she was real and that this wasn't a dream. Even though the feel of her smooth and luscious skin was enough to convince him that what he was seeing was indeed real, he said it anyway to settle his fears. In response kate just smiled at him and in response he smiled back at her and started to lean in to capture those lips once again but she stopped him half way and said that they needed to talk first. He reluctantly agreed and followed her to her tent which to her surprise was kept in the same fashion she had left it. She signalled for him to sit down on the makeshift bed and once they did, he grasped hold of her small hand tightly in his large surgical ones and just gave her one of his dazzling smiles which managed to make her heart melt for him once again. However she brushed the feeling off for now and got down to what she wanted to get off her chest.
"Okay jack firstly before anything happens, there's something you need to know!!" she said making the fear creep into jack's heart. At this point he was assuming the worst. Was she going to leave him behind once again, now that she had seen how damaged he was., it was one of the reasons he rarely showed any form of weakness within him, because he knew that people would judge him for it. Kate however sensed his terrified expression and gave his hand a tight squeeze and then went on…
"I want you know that I had every intention of coming back, believe me I tried but they wouldn't let me!!" she tearfully confessed.
"I believe you" jack said confidently not even doubting her. In response she just smiled at him and simply gazed at him in wonder for the next few minutes making jack more anxious by the second. He had been waiting all this time to hold her and kiss her and now here she was in arms distance and he was literally itching to touch her, to make love to her and make her his again, he wanted it so much.
"It's just that I know things have changed over the past year, believe me I do and I know that you've probably moved on as well but I just wa mphmph…" she said but she was suddenly cut of by jack's possessive and claiming lips, this time with no intention to break away or let go. She was hesitant at first with all the images she had witnessed this morning but suddenly the feel of his tongue probing at her lips and then opening them with a gaspful moan, was more than enough for her give into the feelings she so greatly had for him. After what seemed like days he finally pulled away placing several small butterfly kisses on her swollen lips whispering "I'm not with anyone kate, I promise. How could I even move past what we HAVE kate, I love you more than anyone I've met in my entire life and there is no way I'm letting go of something that precious and meaningful!!" he said putting a lot of emphasis on the word "have". He kissed her again deep and wet to confirm it once and for all and with that kate just let the tears she had been holding fall, only to have them wiped and kissed away by jack's warm lips. For a few more minutes they just spent it holding each other closely and relishing in the feel of being together again. Although kate knew that there was another change in their relationship, a change that made her more mature and so grateful that she had crashed on this island in the first place.
"Common there's something I need to show you!!" kate said with a smile, getting up and pulling on jack 's hand slightly which was still tightly entwined with hers, almost afraid to let go. He smiled following her to see the thing that would change his life for good, hopefully for the better kate thought hopefully.
