After their usual morning marathon of Dora the Explorer, it was time for Jack and Abby to attend parent/ toddler yoga. Checking his watch Jack sighed, turning the TV off and smiling as Abby looked up at him her eyes dancing at the thought of what lay ahead. Claire had begun yoga with Abby when she was two, but with the new job she had it was difficult for her to take her. So when six months ago Jack had offered to take care of Abby during the day they had resumed yoga.

"Yogi... Yogi..." Abby shouted, jumping up and down on the sofa. Jack smiled and laughed at this sight and his heart broke a little, although he saw her everyday he knew that come three oclock he was really going to miss her. He bent down and scooped her up in his arms, carrying her to the front door but as he opened it he felt the smile fade from his face.There she stood infront of him, as plain as day... so real he could smell the coconut shampoo that lingered on her choclate curls.

"Hi Jack..." she said, a hint of dissapointment in her voice. Jack shook his head, he couldn't believe she was here... that she was really standing here. He took a deep breath and lifted Abby further up his chest, her small form resting on his hip.

"Hi... Kate...um, what are you doing here?" he asked, not meaning to sound as blunt as it had come across but knowing that after everything he deserved to speak how he felt. Kate raised her hand to her face, brushing a stray curl back behind her ear.

"I thought I would drop by, see how you were doing... long time no see" she added, making Jack laugh.

"Yeah...2 years..." Jack replied, he could sense she was feeling nervous, she was fidgeting with ehr hands and her eyes were focusing on Abby.

"Your kid?" Kate asked, motioning towards Abby who was now playing wtih Jacks ear, whispering noises and nonsenses into it. Jack laughed, pushing Abby back up once more.

"It's Abby..." Jack said watching Kate look up from the floor "... Charlie and Claires daughter" he explained, and he smiled at the sight of the smile appearing on her face. he knew that look... relief.

"Wow, she's grown so much..." Kate said and then noticed the little girl was starting to get restless "... I'm sorry, were you guys going somewhere?" she asked.

"Yogi, Yogi... Come on Uncky Jacky we gonnbe late" the little girl cried as she placed her hands on either side of his face and turned his face to look straight in to her eyes. Kate laughed at seeing this sight, but most of all at hearing the phrase 'Uncky Jacky' used by a three year old. Jack noticed Kates face and looked back and forth between the two girls in his life, not wanting to upset either.

"Um... we have parent and toddler yoga in about half an hour..." he said checking his watch "... if um, if your not doing anything then um... you could come with us..." Kate looked bemused at the thought of Jack doing yoga but a part of her really wanted to be alone with him. She looked at him standing there, a new man. Something different about him, he looked... at peace. She remembered the look on his face when he saw her leaving with Sawyer, a year and a half ago and she remembered the card he had sent her for her birthday.

"I will never forget you, I'll always be here for you... you ever need anything you call me... I love you, forever yours Jack XxX"

She looked back up at him and smiled stepping aside to let them out of the house.

"Yeah I'd love to come with you guys... we can um, catch up..."
