Kate walked into the room and Jacks eyes opened, lifting his head groggily from his daughters hair he smiled. His arms wrapped aorund her so tight, so protective like a father should be of his only child, his daughter. Kate remembered the times on the island they had spoken about kids, not their own... mainly Aaron and Abyy and she knew how great he was going to be when he became a father. She just didn't realise how fast he would take to it. There he stood in the living room with his mirror image, his baby girl and he looked free finally... he looked at rest.

Walking over to them Kates hand reached out for her daughters hair as she gently stroked her head. The little girl snuggled further into Jacks chest her hands still gripping his t-shirt for fear of him letting her go. He brought his head down and she instantly lifted her up to meet his gaze. He smiled at her and she released her grip on his top, brinigng her hands up to either side of his face just like Abby had done earlier only this time it felt different, he was looking into the eyes of his future. The little girl smiled back at her father and slowly brought her nose to mett his as they eskimo kissed. A tear slipped from Jacks eye and rolled down his face.

"I have only just met you but i love you already little one..." he whispered, a lump forming in his throat which he tried to clear. Kate stood beside them watching how gentl he was with their daughter. How lovingly he held her and how he seemed to speak to her without the use of words. Suddenly her thoughts were innterupted by Jacks voice, he turned to Kate and shook his head letting out an ashamed laugh.

"I just realised... I um, I don't even know her name" he admitted sheepishly turning back to face those yees that he would never get tired of seeing everyday, those beautiful eyes that he could only have wished for in his wildest dreams. Kate took a step closer and looked at the child, her hand brushing back the hair that was framing her daughters face.

"Its Faith..." Kate started, watching his eyes light up as her remembered the reference to thier talk they had shared on the day he asked her to move to the caves "... her name is Faith, Faith Jatlyn Shephard", Kate admitted sheepishly, feeling her face flush as she revealed that thier daughter had his last name.

"You gave her my last name?" Jack asked, as if reading her mind.

"Yeah.. I um, I hope you don't mind she just... seems to suit Shephard a hell of a lot better than Austen, she doesn't look like an Austen".

Jack shook his head, smiling at the comment and took another look at his half sleeping daughter " Nope, she's definitely mine..."

"She even snores like you..." Kate blurted out causing Jack to erupt into a state of laughter, leaning over to kiss his daughters head and whisper.

"Thats my girl..." The little girl looked up at her father as he carried her further up his chest making her comfortable. When thier eyes locked again he brought his face closer to hers and spoke in barely a whisper "...Hey Faith, I'm your daddy" He liked the sound of that... dadddy. The little girl instinctively leant in and placed a kiss on Jacks lips like she had understood everyword he had said, even the ones he didn't say.

"She loves you already... I knew she would" Kate revealed, feeling relief wash over her that finally something had gone right.

"I think she's tired, Can I go put her down?" Jack asked lookin over at Kate for approval, Kate just smiled at him.

"She's your daughter Jack, if she is tired and you want to let her nap... go for it, you don't have to ask..."

Jack gave Kate a smile that said thankyou and he walked to the bedroom once more, bypassing Abby's room and straight to his own. He lay her down on the bed and tucked her into the sheet. Her angelic face so familiar to him. He smiled, leant down and kissed her gently on the forhead. Kate watched from the dorrway once more, a smile on her face and tears in her eyes. Jack didn't get up once Faith had fallen into a deep sleep, he sat on the bed next to her just watching her sleep, watching his dauighter. He smiled thinking about how he was never going to tired of hearing those words, daughter... father... He, Jack Shephard was a father, to a beautiful little girl who was every inch her fathers daughter as she curled up in a ball and began to snore lightly.

"I love you Faith..." Jack whispered bringing his face closer to hers and resting his hand on her head of curls " I have only just met you and I'd give my life for you... It sounds strange ot admit it, but i felt like part of me was missing and now you're here and I'm whole. I'll never leave you baby... Daddy promises..." he said leaning in and placing a kiss on her forehead before standing up to leave the room. He looked up at Kate and smiled at her, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close to his chest to replace that warmth that had dissapeared the minute he let go of Faith. "... she's asleep" he admitted, part of him happy the other part wanting to spend every second with hid daughter.

"She was asleep the moment she felt your arsm around her Jack... I have to say, I'm impressed..." Jack looked at Kate confused "... She um, doesn't like men, well... Sawyer... she doesn't like him at all. She cries everytime he goes near her..."

Jack smiled at hearing this, feeling a little angry that Sawyer had met his daughter first, and as sad as it sounded he felt grateful that his daughter didn't like him.

"She's definitely her daddy's girl then..." he admitted and they both laughed.
