Hehe like i said, uploading tons of stuff today and for the rest of the week, reviews are love...XxX
Jack and Abby were sat in a circle amongst a group of parents and toddlers, she couldn't help but notice how all the parents were female. Jack sat there the beautiful blonde girl infront of him and a huge smile on his face. She wondered if her felt intimidated, being surrounded by all these women but she knew him better than that. She could clearly see that the women all loved Jack, after all what was not to like, good looks, charming, sweet, caring and great with kids. She smiled as a small boy ran to Jack and Jack scooped him in for a hug before ruffling his hair.
She sat there for an hour and watched as they exercised, her heart at peace knowing he was happy but her mind flicking to thoughts of how it should have been their child Jack was caring for. She shook her head, trying to rid herself of those thoughts... she had given all that up the day she left with Sawyer. The session ended and Jack walked over to Kate, Abby walking behind him clutching the hands of the young boy.
"You guys were great!" Kate gushed as she smiled at Jack and threw her arms around him. Realising what she had done she tried to pull back from the hug but found that Jack asn't letting go. His mind focusing on the hug desperately never wanting her to let go, thinking that if he held onto her for long enough she would never leave. A woman walked over and picked up the little boy, causing Jack and Kate to break apart.
"Skylar, its time to go..." the woman told the little boy who was holding out his hands to Abby struggling to get back to his playmate "... Hey Jack don't forget its theri dance recital on friday..." Jack looked abashed and turned to face the woman. His arm slipping around Kates waist all too easily.
"Audrey, this is Kate" he said, Kate watched as the womans face lit up.
"Kate?... As in THE Kate... your Kate?" the woman quizzed, an overjoyed excited look on her face. Kate smiled and wondered what the woman had meant by the last remark, it played over and ver in her head "your Kate". The woman extended her hand and Kate accepted.
"Nice to meet you finally, you're quite a legend around here. Jack always talks about you...infact he never stops". Kate seemed to appreciate this comment, but wondered exactlywhat Jack said about her. She looked over at him as if expecting some answers but all she recieved was a smile... god she loved that smile.
They left the gym and walked along the street, Abby holding onto Jacks hand determined not to lose him in the hustle and bustle that was the streets of Boston.
"Hold hands?" Abby asked Jack, looking confused as to why Jack and Kate were not holding hands. Jack noticed the confusion on Abby's face and knew the reason for it. He stopped in his tracks and bent down to face Abby.
"Kates a big girl Abby she doesn't need to hold my hand anymore" Jack tried to explain, but Abby's bottom lip began to quiver. She looked at the ground and then back up at Jack with tears in her eyes.
"I not a big girl Uncky Jacky?" she asked with a childish innocence. Jacks heart broke, he scooped her up into his arms and held the little girl close to his chest adorning her head with kisses.
"Oh Abby, I'm sorry I didn't mean..." he stopped mid-sentence decideding it was too much for him to go into with a three year old. He pulled away from her and looked her straight in the eyes, those same eyes his sister looked at him with everyday and he smiled ".. you'll always be my big girl Abby... always".
Kate watched as Jack held th little girl in his arms, the tears in her eyes reflected in his own. He hadn't meant to upset the little girl and when he hd it had hurt him. She couldn't help but think how great he was with her, and it was there she saaw the reason she had fallen in love with him in the first place. Not wanting to upset the littel girl anymore she waited until Jack and Abby broke apart, the little girl still clutchin his hand. Kate moved closer to Jack and slid her hand into his, not looking him in the eyes for fear of seeing something she knew she couldn't handle right now. Something she knew was inevitable and something she had felt when he put his arms around her waist a few minutes ago. She turned to look at the little girl instead, who watched with wide eyes and Jack smiled at Kate, obviously enjoying the feeling of her tender touch as their hands entwined. Jack smiled to himself and couldn't help but feel that for once something was going right for him. For now.
