Getting even
Note: ok in this chapter Jaden tries to be nice to Juliet in order to gain her trust! Hope you like it
"Morning baby" Jack said kissing his forehead
"Morning daddy" the boy said softly sitting straight
"How are you felling?" he asked the little boy in front of him
"Wet" the boy said
"Wet? How is that?"
He looked down and saw the bed wet "I thought I had changed you last night" Jack said and Jaden blushed
"I'm sorry" he said
"It's ok champ, let's just change those wet clothes ok?"
At breakfast Jack had allowed Jaden to eat with Kate and sawyer but he watched every move they made
"Hey" he heard Juliet said sitting next to him. He responded with a smile
"What you doing?" she asked
"Nothing, just hanging out"
"What happened last night?"
Jack returned his attention to her "yeah sorry about that"
"Don't sweat it, I don't expect him to like me" she said turning away
"He is…I don't know…"
"Jealous?" she said looking at Kate
"I guess that's it"
Later that day everything seemed to be better ;Jaden had calmed down and he and Jack had had a normal day.
"Dad?" he asked while they were looking at the water
"Yeah?"
"Do you like Juliet?" Jack was surprised was his question and turned his face to the other side
"Yes I guess I do" he said quietly and turned to the blond woman who was a couple of miles away
After a couple of more minutes in silence Jack was called by one of the survivors
"Are you sure you are going to be ok?" he asked Jaden, he just nodded
Later when his father wasn't around to see him he walked to Juliet
"Hey" she said innocently
He smiled back." boy he looks like him" Juliet thought
"What can I do for you?"
"Do you like my pap?" the 2 year old boy asked while moving his little fingers trough the sand
"He is nice" The blond woman answered
Suddenly a question popped into the boy's head
"What's your favorite animal?"
"I don't know…"
"Come on you got to have one, mine is the dog" he said with a big smile
"Well I guess I like dogs too, my sister used to have one"
"You had a sister?" he asked surprised. He thought that someone who had a dog and a sister couldn't be that bad
"why do you act surprised?' she asked kneeling to pick a shell from the sand
"I don't know… what your dog's name was?" right now he wasn't acting like the super smart kid he had been since she met him
"Simon" she said with a grin
"That's not a name" he said with a jump
"Well. I like it" Juliet said smiling again
"Hey guys" they suddenly heard Jack
"Hey daddy" Jaden said happily
"See you are making a new friend" he told him kneeling at his level
"He is a curios little boy" Juliet told him getting closer
Sensing her intentions he jumped to his father's arms
Wow! Looks like someone has a lot of energy today" Jaden just giggled and turned his face to Juliet
"Well I have to get back and check everyone around"
"Can I come with you?" please daddy, please?"
"Sure, I have to check on Aaron and Claire, come on"
"See you later kid" Juliet said with a big fake smile as they walked away
Later that night he sat on his bed while his dad was doing a final check on everyone
Suddenly Juliet appeared from the dark
"Hey" she said quietly sitting next to him
"Hey"
"Where is your dad?"
"He is checking on everyone" the boy said standing up from the bed
"He is just like a hero isn't he?" Jaden nodded, in that moment Jack appeared, he looked tired, Jaden jumped into the bed
"I was just saying good night" Juliet said with a grin
"Good night" Jaden said and turned away
"What was all that about?" Jack asked his son once Juliet was away
"I'm just trying to be nice" Jade said with a smile
"Why?" Jack asked sitting on the bed
"Because you like her"
"Jade, I don't know what to say to you…"
"I know you like her, more than you like Kate" Jaden said sadly
"and you really like Kate, don't you?"
"I guess, she's like my best friend"
"hey! What about me?" Jack said teasingly
"I said "like" daddy!" Jaden giggled
"Ok, now it's time for bed"
"No" Jade said nodding
"Jade... Don't start" Jack said with a warning
"But I don't want to have a bad dream again!" Jaden squealed
"Mmm, I'll tell you what, I'll sit here until you are sleep"
"Really? Don't you have to go with Juliet?"
"You are more important to me than a stupid dinner" Jack said kissing his forehead
"I love you daddy" Jaden said hugging him
"I love you too, whirlwind"
