Riding On The Wings Of An Angel
Chapter 14: Jenny
Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
Flashback:
"Miss? Miss Austin? Did you hear me Miss?" The doctor's eyes were filled with sympathy of having to tell too many mothers these sorts of things.
"WHAT!" Madelynne spoke when Kate just stared at the doctor in shock. "There has to be some sort of mistake! A person-"
"-I am really sorry, but there is no mistake."
"Mistake! How does a person not know she had twins! Or for that matter not know that she is carrying twins her entire pregnancy, tell me that!" Madelynne was outraged for her older sister who sat in the hospital bed clinging to her young son whom the nurse was anxiously trying to coax out of Kate's grasp.
The doctor seemed to not know what else to say, he looked young, the thought that maybe he was new and this was his first time telling a mother such news passed through Madelynne's mind.
Suddenly Kate spoke up from her corner of the room, "I named them."
"What?" The doctor, nurse and Madelynne said in unison.
Kate looked up with dazed eyes, "I named them." Seeing the looks on the faces of the others in the room, she clarified. "My babies, a son…and a daughter…"
Madelynne looked at her sister in shock. How could she be acting so…so out of it? She was always the strong one.
"…Jesse and Jenny." Kate stated in a dreamy voice.

Kate:
She was running…once again. This time she wasn't following a ghost. No this time she was on a different type of mission. Things were less hazy, like a fog had lifted. Jesse wasn't alive. 'Jesse is not alive, I know that now.' No, he wasn't alive, but he had appeared to her and weather it was all in her head or not was up for interpretation. But Kate knew that he wanted her to do something. Something important and she was going to do it.
Almost to quickly she stumbled into the caves and came to a halt. Looking around self-consciously at the other survivors for the first time in days, Kate felt the weight of the others staring at her.
"Uh, hi." She mumbled as Charlie hurried past on his way to where Hurley sat. Walking over to the water she passed Sayid and Shannon who just gave her strange looks before Shannon dragged Sayid away. "Oooookay." She said to herself, totally confused. She turned her back on everyone and crouched down. "Whew." Kate whispered to herself.
'This is going to be interesting!' Kate thought sarcastically as she pulled the water bottles out of backpack and filled them up. She could hear everyone's hushed whispers in the background that started up the moment that Kate had turned her back. 'Geez, what did I do to get on everyone's bad side?' Since she had no doubt that everyone was whispering about her.
Kate was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't hear Jack approach her. "Kate?"
His voice sounded timid. Like he was afraid that she was going to bite him or something. Kate gave him a quizzical look, cocking her head to one side and lifting one eyebrow. "Yeah."
Suddenly Jack seemed relieved, he let out a breath Kate hadn't noticed he was holding. "You okay?" Kate asked.
This time it was Jack's turn to look at Kate with a questioning look on his face. "Uh…sure." He said uncertainly, still looking at Kate.
He seemed to be trying to get her to say something with the way he was staring at her. But for the life of her Kate couldn't remember what had happened for most of that day, besides the thing with Jesse. So she brushed it off with a change of the topic. "I need to talk to you."
Jack's surprise was almost comical. His whole demeanor changed. He stood up straighter and looked at Kate with interest… and maybe a little confusion. "So let me get this straight." Jack placed his hand up in front of him as if laying them face up on a table. "You," He pointed to Kate, "want to talk to me?" He pointed to himself and them let his hands drop to his side in confusion.
Standing up, Kate reached for Jack's arm and guided him to a more private part of the caves. "Yes, don't act so surprised… It's not like I never talk to you."
Jack just kept staring at her, "Actually, lately-"
"-Right. About that, that is…uh…over, I have to do something else now. Something important but I need you help."

Jack:
'Whew, was that the weirdest conversation I have ever had with Kate or what?' Jack shook his head as he headed off after Kate who was practically skipping to the beach. 'Weird, and I have sure had a few weird conversations with Kate!'
Jack's mind was reeling. Did Kate not remember what had happened earlier that day, the argument and her running off completely consumed with her anger for him? She had just acted as if everything was normal, like before the accident and Jack's rescue of her.
"Has got to be this island."
"What?" Kate was suddenly beside him.
"Huh?" Jack blinked and looked around to where Kate had been second before, "Never mind."
Jack noticed that Kate was still holding her side a little and her walk had slowed quit a bit since they had started out for the beach ten minutes ago. Jack watched closely, 'Yep, she is limping.'
"Let's take a break." Jack suggested, Kate started to protest, but when she saw the look on Jack's face she stopped. There was no changing Jack's mind when he had that look.
Plopping herself down, Jack saw her wince slightly and shift to a more comfortable position. 'Yeah, she is not alright.'
Jack kept on watching her. Something was up and there was no doubt that Jack was going to keep a close eye on Kate.
Worries and diagnoses ran through his mind. 'Number one, she doesn't seem to remember anything that has happened earlier today. Number two, she is suddenly acting differently, too happy.' Jack didn't have a thing against happiness, but in his book when a person with recent head injury behaviour changes, that is a warning sign. 'And three, she all of a sudden has a mission she needs to do, but won't tell me what it is.'
Jack was ripped from his thoughts with Kate's prodding to get moving.

Sawyer:
"Yeah, and then she just punched me like nobodies business!" Sawyer was ranting to Sayid and Shannon whom he had overheard talking about Kate's odd behaviour a few minutes earlier and had decided to tell them his sob story.
Shannon countering every comment Sawyer said until Sayid jumped in and took Sawyer's side.
"Hey!" Shannon shrieked, surprised that Sayid would ever take Sawyer's side.
"Well, Shannon, he does have a point. Kate has been acting quit strange today. I spoke with some of the other survivors and they have similar run-ins with her as we did."
Shannon's mouth just hung open, after a moment she turned and stalked away. They could vaguely her say, "Fine, be that way…asshole!"
Sawyer laughed, "Now that's my girl." He called after Shannon who froze and then walked away even faster, her body radiating anger. "Ahhhh, what a girl, Sticks is." Sawyer said admiring Shannon's backside.
"Watch it." Sayid warned his voice becoming serious.
Sawyer threw his hands in the air, "Chill there Mohammad, I was just lookin'."
"That better be all it is." Sayid warned, and then thought maybe it was best if he left now before him and Sawyer got into another altercation.
"Fine! Leave without even a good night kiss." Sawyer yelled after Sayid as he walked away. He chuckled as Sayid's back went ridged. "Love getting under these buggers skin." Sawyer walked to his tent. "LOVE it!"
A few minutes later Sawyer was nestled down in the airplane chair reading his novel and muttering to himself about the damned glasses he had to wear now whenever he read, when he heard a familiar voice.
"Jack, come on. It's not that bad of an idea, besides it's really not that dangerous. Plus you will be there…"
Sawyer listened to Kate bantering with Jack and rubbed his sore lip and face. She could stay with Jack for all he cared. 'Maybe she will even punch him in the face. 'Now that would be something I would pay to see.' Chuckling Sawyer went back to reading his book and daydreaming about Kate bopping good ole' Jack one right on the nose.

Flashback:
Kate was crying. The doctor and nurse had ushered her sister out of Kate's room, finally an hour past when visiting hours were supposed to be over. They had acted all sympathetic to Kate when she had acted like she didn't know what they were talking about.
Truth was she just wanted them to leave. All of them accept her precious baby boy, but they had taken him to. Said she needed her rest. Rest! As if! How was a person supposed to get any rest when she had just found out that one of her babies had died? One she didn't even know she had given birth to in the first place.
So now that they had all left, with pitying looks on their faces she was free to cry on her own, alone and unheard from eager ears. Finally, with raw eyes from crying and a great lump in her throat, Kate fell asleep. But the dreams that came weren't pleasant, not dream of hope and pleasure, of growing old and happy; but dreams of violence and fear. Dreams that would come true, Kate just didn't know it yet.
