Disclaimer: Don't own it. Own what you ask? Hello? Anyone home? Cause this is sort of a Lost story... Ooop sorry guys that was my bad half talking. She pops out sometimes. (manical grin).

A/N: Okay this is an extreamly short chapter, but otherwise it would of been a really long chapter and this is sort of cute Jack/Kate fluff. Soooo...You'll just have to wait another week for the angsty stuff i am so good at. I don't usually do this sort of romance stuff, so if you liked it tell me, if not... well i hope you do.

Thanks for reviewing:

Phoenix-Talon: So happy you reviewed. And it is always good to know that i have a interesting and unique plotline. It is going to get way weirder too, i don't think it is going to be following the realLost. I tried to do that for a while, it just didn't work.Yay! Anyways i hope you like this chapter!

Whirlwind-2005: My lovely little sister, aren't you a little bias about my story? I do thank you for the review though. (Bows)

rain1657: Ana and the tail section of servivors. Who says they were from the tail section? Oh, i did, whoops. Well maybe not all of them.

October Sky: Wow! What a loving fan. So glad to have kept you around so long. And you never know what kind of trouble i will get them into. So many possibilities! Keep reviewing!

Only Memories: I think you got it right. Maybe if i can read your mind. Kate is acting strange cause her dead son gave her a message and you never know, maybe it was some sort of strange profecy. Who knows...well i do, but you don't. Sooo sorry i took so long to update. Well i am sure glad you are reading it know and now i am updating. Hopefully every week, at least that is what i am aiming for. If not every two weeks for sure.

NYR88: Thanks for reviewing! Hope you like what is coming!

clarkson04: Don't worry it is not ending any time soon. Well actually it is, but that is only because i want to start a sequel to this story called 'Knocking On Heavens Door'.

Orlando-crazy: I know i have been bad on the updating. But now i am back from the dead. Okay i wasn't really dead, but i could have been with all the updating i was don't, which was none. Soon i will be entering a new phase of the story. Or a sequel to be exact. It won't only be about Kate, but it will be good.

Now please all review and tell me what you think!

Riding On The Wings Of An Angel

Chapter 16: Putting The Moves On

If I could rearrange the alphabet,
I'd put U and I together.

Flashback:

It had been two weeks since the day Jason had asked her for a drink. After that he had taken down Kate's number, she hadn't really expected him to phone…but he had.

"Katie has a boyfriend!" Thirteen-year-old Madelynne Sang happily. "Katie has a boooyfreinddd!" She drawled out.

Kate frowned. Her sister was so immature. "If you don't cut that out I am going to take away that birthday present I just gave you a few days ago." Kate threatened, but a smile pressed at her lips, betraying her.

"Katie and Jason sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first come love…" Kate drowned out her sister's silliness and tried to read the book of maps that sat on her lap. A moment later she looked out the window smiling. Her sister may be silly but that was a good thing. That was exactly the type of thing she had been hoping for when she had whisked her sister and herself away from their hometown and started a new life. She had wanted to preserve her sisters childhood before it was gone.

"...Then comes the baby in the baby carriage." Madelynne concluded with a gigantic grin and an over exaggerated bow for effect.

Yes, she had done the right thing. Whatever future consequences there would be, this was the right thing to do. She had finally made one right decision.

Kate:

This time when Kate awoke, it was slowly. Drifting in and out, then finally around dawn, waking completely. She rolled over and was greeted with a peacefully sleeping Jack. His face was relaxed and she now realized just how tense he always was. Like the weight of the world was always on his shoulders.

She was tempted to reach out and touch his face, his chin rough from not shaving in a few days, the forehead uncreased in sleep and his hair that had grown out just a little bit. It was in that moment of solitude and pre-dawn calm that the ongoing battle in her head stopped… just for a moment at least. She knew now how much she cared for Jack, the emotions she got when she looked at him and when she wanted to touch him, the thoughts that raged through her head as she stared at his sleeping figure.

"Jack." She whispered, not really knowing if she should wake him, but she couldn't wait any longer.

It didn't take much. Jack's eyes opened slowly with the triggering of Kate's voice. Sleep fogged his vision and Kate was sure he would go back to sleep until he spoke her name. "Kate." It wasn't a statement or a question. He said it like he was singing a song, testing it on his tongue. He raised his head to meet Kate who was slightly propped up by her arm.

"Jack Sheppard I just realized something." Kate stated in an enticing whisper.

Jack raised his eyebrow, "Oh?"

Suddenly Kate leaned down and kissed him. Her lips landed with a crash on his. Momentarily startled Jack didn't respond and Kate started to pull away. Their eyes met again earnest and clear. Jack reached up and brushed a strand of curly hair out of Kate's face. Gently he stroked her face ending at her chin, then nudged it forward until his lips brushed hers, gently, teasingly, then with passion. Kate wrapped her arms around Jack's neck. Slowly they pulled away, gasping for air.

So many thoughts rushed through their minds. Was this the right thing to do? Were they making some rash mistake? The only thing that could have distracted them was…Sawyer. And he did.

"Well, howdie doodie!" Sawyer walked out from the foliage zipping up his zipper. Kate and Jack jerked back started and confused in the early morning, 'Nice.' Kate thought with disgust. "This now… is not something I 'spect from you Jacko Boy." Sawyer directed his comment at Jack and reprimanded him. "See I would think you wouldn't be hitting on an unsuspecting girl so early in the morning." He shook his head and chuckled, "Though I must say, it is quit clever."

Kate was staring a Jack trying to refrain from laughing. "I guess Sawyer doesn't know I kissed you first she whispered." Her smile broadened and she looked to be repressing hysteria.

"What Sawyer doesn't know won't hurt him…or anyone else." Jack whispered back conspiracy, then to Sawyer, "How's that clever?"

Sawyer was temporarily caught off guard. "What?" He asked annoyed.

Jack rolled his eyes at Kate, who accidentally let a giggle escape and quickly covered her mouth up with her hand, her eyes widened as she stared at Jack.

Jack rephrased the question, "You said I was clever…?"

"Oh, Hero! Why didn't you just say so?" Sawyer shuffled over to his sleeping area and stared packing up his backpack, then frowned, "I can't believe this!" he muttered outraged.

Jack and Kate exchanged a disbelieving look. "What? Is the boar following you again?" Kate teased.

Sawyers frown just got bigger. "I mean here you are with…her, and you don't even have to plan any of it to get the girl…Must be the doctor thing. That always gets 'em. Damn!" Sawyer was still cursing.

Jack and Kate just stared, was this was jealousy? From Sawyer?

"I mean no putting the moves on, no planning, hell you even smell bad! And you are practically in her pants. Something sure as hell is wrong with guys like you!" Sawyer zipped up his backpack and pulled it on.

"I'll be that way." Sawyer pointed in the direction of a meadow with a cluster of trees at the other side. "Don't worry I won't run off and leave you all alone in the big scary jungle." He glared down at Jack and Kate speaking sarcastically to the duo who looked to protest. "'Sides I can take care of myself." And he stomped off.
