Futbolgirl- I'm so glad you liked it so much!!! Thank you!! That means a lot. I try my best. It's easy for me to write jate cause I love it so much. :)

All right, onto the chapter.

Finally Kate slowly opened her eyes.

"Hi Kate. It's me. You made it." Jack gazed at her emerald eyes as she looked at him.

Kate blinked a couple of times.

"Don't worry. You're ok. The baby is fine. We have a girl. The doctor said that you will be able to talk in a little bit. " Jack filled her in quickly.

Kate squeezed his hand.

"I probably shouldn't tell you this, but…I thought that I was going to loose you. You just passed out and I couldn't do anything." Jack stopped before he let himself lose it again. "But that doesn't matter now. You're ok. The baby's healthy, and we'll go home in a few days." He smiled comfortingly at her.

Jack saw that she attempted to smile back but it was difficult for her with the oxygen mask on.

Kate squeezed Jack's hand again and then she closed her eyes and Jack sighed. It was amazing how they could communicate so much with few words, especially with no words from her.

The doctor came in and checked on her and took the mask off.

Kate opened her eyes again then. "Jack."

Jack smiled. He pulled the chair closer to her bed.

"Where is she?"

"She's with all the other babies. She's fine. I've been keeping a eye on her."

"What's her name?"

"Alison Nicole" Jack said.

"Alison Nicole." Kate repeated. "I love it."

Kate's hand suddenly flew to her neck.

"What's wrong?" Jack asked.

"Where's my locket?"

"It's over here on the nightstand." Jack took it and put it on for her. "There you go."

"Is everyone still here?"

"Yes but the doctor doesn't want anyone to visit you until tomorrow."

"Go tell them to go home then."

"I'm not leaving you Kate."

"I'll be fine."

"No. I'm staying."

Kate looked at Jack. He looked horrible to her. He'd obviously been through a lot in the last couple of hours. His face was worn and his whole body was kind of slumped over.

" Oh Jack." Kate rubbed his hand in hers.

"What?"

"I'm fine okay? I'll be all right. You need to rest."

Jack smiled. It was typical of Kate to be more worried about him then herself. "Kate you're the one who had the baby. You should be resting."

"I am." Kate pointed out. "Go tell everyone to go home, and then you should go home and sleep."

"I'm not going to leave you here Kate." Jack couldn't believe her. A couple of hours ago she had begged him to stay and now she was asking him to leave.

"Then at least tell everyone to leave, and come back up here and sleep in the chair. It's made for you anyways. Maybe we can ask them to bring you a bed. I mean, you are one of the top doctors at this hospital after all."

Jack thought for a minute, and then he decided that she was right. Everyone else shouldn't be staying here if they couldn't even see Kate.

"Okay. I'll be right back all right?" He kissed her forehead and left the room.

Kate sighed and relaxed. She knew that Jack was tense, and she wished that she could convince him that she was ok. Sure she didn't feel all that great, but she wasn't feeling as bad as he was making her out to be. Of course, she hadn't been the one that had been forced to see her pass out and wait forever for her to wake up. She knew it must have been complete torture for him to not have control in the situation.

He walked in fifteen minutes later with Sawyer. They were bringing in a bed.

"Hey Freckles. You're really lucky that you had that thing here at the hospital. If you hadn't you probably would be worse off."

"Hi Sawyer."

"How are ya?" They placed the bed beside hers and he walked over to her.

"I thought that I couldn't have any visitors."

"They made a exception." Sawyer shrugged. "It's cause Jack's a doctor. See it comes in handy sometimes. So how are you?"

"I'm doing ok. I just feel tired."

Sawyer nodded. "Well take care of yourself. Congratulations." He ducked his head and looked at Jack and back at Kate.

"Thank you Sawyer." Kate smiled.

"Well I gotta go. Take care of yourself."

Sawyer left and Jack stood beside his bed and stared at it.

"What?" Kate asked him.

"I haven't slept in a hospital bed since before the crash."

"Why did you sleep in a hospital bed then?" Kate asked.

Jack didn't say anything for a minute but finally he did. "You know how I told you about Sarah? Well the night she told me she was getting a divorce I couldn't sleep so I came here and ended up sleeping."

"Jack come on. Get in the bed. That was a long time ago." Kate wished she could get up and give Jack a hug. He was obviously thinking of his past because of what had happened today. They both knew that their lives were going to be changed forever now that they had a baby.

Jack finally got into the bed.

"There you go." Kate talked like she was talking to a child. "Don't you feel better now honey?"

"Are you mocking me?" Jack asked, grinning at her.

"No of course not." Kate continued in the voice. "I just want to make sure that you won't have nightmares from sleeping in the big, scary bed. Do you want to hold my hand?" Kate held out her hand and Jack stretched over and took it.

"I won't have nightmares now." Jack grinned. "I'm not scared of the bed itself you know."

"I know." Kate talked normally." Jack you've gotta quit blaming yourself for everything all right? Everything is not your fault." They'd been through this so many times during their relationship, but they always worked through it.

"Yeah I know." Jack looked up at the ceiling.

"And Jack, some things are your fault, and it's a good thing. Jack we're parents now. You're a daddy. I'm a mommy."

Jack smiled. "Daddy. I like the sound of that."

"Now mommy says to go to sleep." Kate said in her childish voice again.

"What if daddy doesn't want to?"

"Then mommy will have to punish daddy later."

"I like the sound of that."

Kate laughed. "You just keep telling yourself that."
