Chapter 2:

"Jack?" the young nurse repeated again worriedly.
"What? I..." he muttered never once removing his eyes from the patient lying on the bed in front of him.
"Jack? What's wrong?"
"Her name", he spoke up suddenly.
"What?"
"Her name. What did you say her name was?"
"Ava. Ava Quinn", said the nurse looking at her chart. "Jack what's wrong with you?"
"Ava..." he muttered shaking her head. "That can't be right...she's married. Angie said she was married right?"
"Yeah to Matthew, Matthew Quinn", she said nodding to the man being tended to by the other team of doctors.
"I need to see him", Jack said suddenly striding over to the other side of the room.
"Jack..."
"Excuse me. I just need to see..." he started pushing his way to the man's bedside.
"Jack this isn't the time..." the other doctor tried to tell him but when he saw the look of horror on Jack's face he stopped instantly, "Jack?"
"No way...it can't be...Sawyer?" Jack breathed in utter disbelief.
"Sawyer? No his name is Matthew, Jack", another nurse told him, pulling him away from his bedside. "Jack is everything all right? You don't look so good"
"They're married?", he muttered again shaking his head. "What the hell is going on?"
"Jack maybe you should go home. We can get another doctor down here to look after her..."
"No!" he said firmly. "No, no I can do this...ok...right..." he said trying to focus himself again and after one last glance between the two patients he set straight to work.

A few hours later the young woman had been put into a private room. Her injuries weren't life threatening. She had a few broken bones and a lot of bruising, but besides that she was going to be fine. The man on the other hand remained in a critical condition and was still being tended to down in the ER. Since she had been moved into her own room Jack hadn't left her side once. He still couldn't believe it was actually her, it didn't make sense. What was she doing in LA? The last he had heard she was living in a small town in Ohio and hadn't seen Sawyer since they arrived home, but now she was married to him. She had written once to Claire just to let her know she was ok and to check up on how Jack was doing.

He waited for what seemed like a lifetime for her to wake up and a little while later Jack noticed her starting to stir. He moved away from her bedside not wanting to startle her. Slowly her eyelids fluttered open and Jack heard her inhale sharply as she looked around her strange surroundings. Stepping cautiously towards her he cleared his throat nervously before finally speaking up,
"It's ok; your in the hospital. You were involved in a car crash but you're going to be fine", he said softly.
Hearing him speak she slowly turned her head unwilling to believe it was him.
"J...Jack?" she croaked shakily.
"Hey Kate", he smiled sadly studying her carefully.
"I...what..." she mumbled quietly lost for words.
"You were in a car crash about a mile from here. There were no other cars involved from the woman who found you said it looked like you were swerving to avoid something and you hit a lamp post. You're going to be fine though, just a few broken bones and a little bruising. But erm...Sawyer...Sawyer's in a pretty bad way", he winced watching her face fall.
"Oh...Jack...I..."
"I guess I should be congratulating you. You and Sawyer huh? Shame I missed the wedding", he said sadly eyeing the gold band on her wedding finger.
A few small tears trickled from the corners of Kate's eyes.
"Well I'm happy for ye", Jack lied. "I'm gonna leave you get some rest ok? I'll be back to check on you in a few hours", he said getting up to walk towards the door.
"Jack...wait", she said gently.
"Yeah?"
"It's not real..." she mumbled trying to pull herself up.
"No Kate you're to weak for that yet, you need to lie down".
"No Jack I need to talk to you, please help me up", she pleaded.
Reluctantly he made his way back to her bedside and gently looping his arm around her waist, he carefully pulled her up into a sitting position.
"Thanks", she smiled weakly, locking eyes with him.
"That's ok", he said. "What um...what did you mean that it's not real? What's not real?"
"The marriage. Me and Sawyer we're not...we're not married", she said quietly playing with her hands.
"What do you mean Kate? I saw the marriage papers, they were in the car with the rest of your stuff", he said a little unsure about why she was lying to him.
"They're fake, Sawyer's friend he made it for us a little while ago with the ID's".
"What Kate? Why?" he asked trying to take in what she was saying.
"A month or two ago he looked me up when he was passing through Ohio. He um...he had gotten himself into some trouble and well he was looking for a way to get out of it I guess", she shrugged. "Anyway he offered me the chance to get a new identity you know and a new start. So I had to pretend we had gotten married and I left Ohio with him and we headed for Las Vegas. He had some business or something there but on the way he wanted to make a quick stop in LA. I wasn't sure about it at first you know because I could be easily spotted here but then I remembered that um...you...you were here and I thought I might be able to...just um...see you, even just from a distance, but the next thing I know I'm waking up in the hospital; your hospital and here you are...", she trailed off staring at him in almost awe.
"Here I am", Jack repeated quietly offering her a small smile. "So your really not married to him then?"
"No", she said smiling back at him. "It's all fake".
"You got new names too", he said. "Ava...that's a nice name".
"Yeah...it was my um my grandma's name...you know so..." she shrugged smiling shyly.
"And Sawyer changed to Matthew", he grinned. "Funny never really saw him as a Matthew".
"No he's definitely not a Matthew", she giggled. "He...he wanted to take Jack but I stopped him..." she blushed looking down.
"Why?" he asked softly.
"Because...because you're the only Jack I want...to know" she said recovering quickly. "And I wanted to remember you from all the good memories we had and not because of him. But most of all I didn't want him to change it to Jack because...because you're my only Jack", she smiled shyly looking back up at him as her eyes glistened with tears.
Jack said nothing for a minute just stared back at her drinking in what she had just told him.
"I...Kate..." he tried.
"It's ok Jack", she said quickly. "You don't have to say anything I just...I was only answering your question".
"No it's not that it's...I'm...I...I'm your Jack?" he said smiling softly.
"Yeah..." she said quietly."But don't get to big headed Doc that doesn't mean anything", she grinned poking him in the chest.
Jack smiled broadly and leaned across to tuck a loose curl behind her ear. Watching her carefully for a minute he began to laugh softly.
"What?" she asked, eyeing him suspiciously.
"Nothing", he grinned shaking his head.
"Come on I told you".
"It's just you're still exactly the same as I remember you, you haven't changed at all".
"Is that a good or bad thing?"
"Good, definitely good", he smiled.
"So if I'm exactly the same as I you remember then you must have been thinking about me a lot", she giggled happily.
Shaking his head he laughed with her. "There's my Kate", he grinned.
He locked eyes with her for a minute before he quickly cleared his throat. "Well I'm gonna go and let you get some sleep. Sawyer should be out of the ER by now. I'm gonna go see how he is ok? I'll be back in a while to check on you".
"Ok then", she smiled watching him go and as soon as he'd closed the door a small giggle escaped her. Knowing perfectly well she wasn't going to be able to get any sleep now she grabbed a magazine from the stack that had been left by her bed. Giggling to herself again she said happily "I'm his Kate"...
