The next morning, five half frozen people sat in Kate's huge living room, with blankets around them. Kate, Rose and Jack came from the kitchen with mugs of coffee and tea for them, trying to get them warmed up. Jack was absolutly devestated about the warehouse.

"So it just went up in flames ?" he asked quietly, sitting next to Kate.

"From what we can tell," Sawyer replied, drinking his coffee down in one gulp.

"So now where are we gonna go ? I mean when this week is over where are we gonna live ?" Chloe asked sullenly.

"Not to mention we're gonna have an additional person," Jack said and they all looked at him.

"What do you mean ?" Charlie asked.

"Kate's coming with us," he smirked.

"But you've got it made here," Shannon said to Kate. "Why leave ?"

"My parents are very controlling people. In fact in two months they're sending me to a boarding school in San Franciso and when I'm twenty one they plan on marrying me off to some random rich guy," Kate explained.

"Well your more than welcome to come along with us," Seann smiled and Kate gave Jack a grin.

"But when you come with us your gonna have to learn the tricks of our trade," Charlie winked.

"That means stealing, burglary, pickpocketing. You name a form of theivery and it's garentied we do it," Sawyer said and Kate nodded.

"I'm fine with it," she smiled at them. "Listen why don't you guys go and get some sleep," she suggested.

"Thats the best suggestion I've ever heard," Shannon said and they followed Rose to their rooms. Jack pulled Kate into his lap.

"So whatta you wanna do today ?" he asked, his lips grazing her neck.

"There's nothing to do, so we can just relax," Kate smiled.

"Relax we will," Jack chuckled.

A knock came on Seann's door and he looked up from under his duvet. He threw the covers off him and walked to the door in his boxers. He pulled it open to reveal Chloe smirking at him.

"Hey," she said awkwardly.

"Hey, come in," Seann said and she slipped inside. "You okay ?" he asked.

"I couldn't get to sleep," she blushed and Seann grinned.

"Well you can't sleep in your clothes," he smirked and Chloe looked down.

"Are you trying to get me undressed ?" she teased him.

"Obviously. But just to sleep, you must be exhausted," he motioned to the bed. "You could sleep here if you want."

"I'd be okay with that," she smiled and undressed quickly, sliding into the soft bed with him. She curled up with him and soon they were asleep.

Rose watched Jack and Kate on the couch and smiled. It was very rare that you seen a love like that. She watched as Jack tickled Kate and she squeeled, batting his hands, before falling against his chest, still giggling. Jack bent down and kissed her gently, breaking away to kiss her forehead. Rose smiled at his actions. He truly did love her. She made her presence known with a loud cough. Kate looked up.

"Oh hi Rose," she said, sitting up.

"Hey hunnie, just wondered if you needed anything ?" she asked and Kate shook her head.

"I've got everything I need right here," she smiled up at Jack. Rose smiled again and left quietly. Kate looked up at Jack. "Jack ?" she asked.

"Yeah ?"

"Tell me about your past," she said and Jack sighed.

"I don't think that's a story you really want to hear," he said gently.

"I do. I want to know every little detail about the man I love," she smiled at him, pinning him to the couch by straddling him. "Also your not going anywhere until you tell me," she gave a mischeivous grin.

"If I must," he said, his hands resting on her hips. "Okay where to start," he wondered.

"Tell me about your life before the streets," she asked and he nodded.

"My fathers name was Christian Shepard and my mom was called Margot," he smiled at the memory of them. "We lived in a relativily rich neighbourhood and I was happy, always messing around with my little brother and sister," he smiled softly.

"What were they called ?" Kate asked him.

"Jamie and Robin," he replied, remembering their smiles and the piggy back rides he would give them. "They were twins and two of the most energetic kids you could ever know. I was constantly following them around, getting them out of trouble. I was only about nine when they asked me how baby's were made," he chuckled and Kate giggled, thinking of Jack being all awkward.

"What did you say ?"

"I told them to ask mom or dad," he smirked but the smile fell from his face as he went on. "Then one night when I was ten, it happened."

"What happened ?"

"I woke up to screaming one night," he recalled. He shuddered at the next memory that rushed into his head. "I rushed out of bed and ran onto the landing, looking over the hallway, and my parents were lying in a pool of blood," he shuddered. Kate gasped and clutched his hand tighter. "All I can remember is the screams of Jamie and Robin, before another two shot's, then everything went quiet. I ran and hid under my bed," he said quietly, tears finally spilling down his cheeks.

"God Jack, I'm so sorry," she sobbed with him, kissing away his tears, only to have them replaced by her own.

"About two hours later I was sitting in a police station, being questioned. Everyone wanted answers but no-one seemed to care about the kid who's life had just been shattered. Hell they even accused me at one point," he sniffed. "So I ran away," he continued. "After about two years, I joined the gang. That's about it up to there," he finished softly.

"Jack baby," Kate whimpered pulling his lips up to meet hers.

A/N: Can we all say awwwwwww. I know I'm cruel to poor Jack, but I love him really. Just wish he'd come and love me ...
