Chapter 5: The Locket

Disclaimer: I don't own LOST.

A/N: I think this chapter has got to be the fluffiest of all! Hopefully you'll enjoy it! I think we all need as much jate fluff as we can get during this horrible hiatus.

The group finally settled down and the presents were placed on the ground as they started to catch up with one another. They all hadn't been gathered together like this since Thanksgiving, which had been at Rose's house.

"I actually have one more gift." Jack said.

Everyone quieted down and looked at him as he brought out a small box from his jacket pocket and handed it to Kate.

"Jack?" She looked at the present, and then up at him questioningly and he smiled at her.

She looked at the package that he had obviously had taken the time to wrap, with a tag on it that said To: Sugarbear, Love: Honeybear. She smiled and blushed, quickly tearing it off, putting it in her pocket before someone got a hold of it. Jack and Kate would never hear the end of it if everyone learned of their secret nicknames for each other.

Cassidy could see that Sawyer was about to make some sort of remark so she quickly jabbed him in the stomach with her elbow so that he would shut his mouth.

Kate slowly opened the present, already a little teary-eyed by all of the sweet things Jack had done for her.

After she got the wrapping paper off she realized that it was a jewelry box and she slowly opened the lid and then gasped.

It was a locket, a beautiful golden heart locket. She took it out and gazed at it.

"Open it." Jack told her.

She looked up at him and then back down at the locket as she opened it. On the one side, was a picture of Jack and the other side was empty.

"When our baby comes," Jack placed a hand on Kate's stomach and began softly rubbing it. "We'll take a picture and then you can put it in here so that you'll always have us near by."

Kate put a hand to her mouth as she began crying.

Jack put his other free arm around her and she moved up against him.

"Oh Jack. I don't deserve you. I don't deserve this."

"Yes you do." Jack tenderly kissed her head. "I love you so much."

The room became awkward as everyone sat, wishing they could get up and leave so that they could have their moment, but not wanting to ruin the moment either.

Jack was used to Kate becoming emotional. She had done it a lot lately because of hormones.

"I love you too." Kate whispered and she lifted her head to return the kiss he had given her. She wiped her eyes and smiled at everyone. "Sorry."

Everyone smiled at her and Jack, thinking about how wonderful it was that they were finally together and happy.

"Could you put it on me?" Kate asked Jack as she lifted her hair and scooted off the couch a bit.

"Sure." Jack said and he put the chain around her neck and then clasped it shut.

She moved back up against him and everyone began talking again.

"So when's this album of yours coming out?" Sawyer asked Charlie, who was sitting on one of the reclining chairs with his arm around Claire who was sitting on his lap.

"About a month. I'm thinking of doing a Christmas album for next year." Charlie answered.

"That would be cool." Cassidy said.

"Yeah I want Claire to do a solo." Charlie smiled at Claire.

"What? You know I'm not the best singer."

'You're a wonderful singer."

"Right." Claire said and shook her head amusedly.

"So how are you Sayid?" Jack asked Sayid over Kate's head. Kate was getting tired so she was leaning up against Jack with his arm around her.

"I'm doing good."

"When is your anniversary again?" Jack asked.

"May 1st." Nadia smiled. "When is yours?"

Jack purposely didn't say anything and Kate quickly sat up straight. "You don't remember our anniversary?"

Jack grinned. "Of course I do. I was just seeing if you were paying attention or not."

Kate playfully glared at him and then she settled back into him.

"January 10th." Jack answered.

"So that's coming up." Sayid said.

"Yep. We'll probably spend it with the baby."

"Sayid and I are thinking of having a baby." Nadia smiled.

"You should. It is such a amazing feeling knowing that you are going to be a parent." Jack trailed off in thought.

Kate smiled as she leaned on Jack's chest. She loved listening to his heart beat and feeling the vibration when he talked.

A/N: Aw… hehe. I hope you liked it! Coming up: The Losties are gonna sing some Christmas Carols.
