A/N: Thanks again for all the reviews!!! I'm glad you all like it so far. :)

Claire walked into LA General Hospital. She had told Charlie that she had to go get some groceries. She would, but later. Kate needed her first. She found the main desk and a nurse named Julia.

"Can I help you?" Julia asked.

"Yes. I'm looking for Kate Austen."

The nurse typed in the name. "Yes. She's in the West Tower. Room 408."

"Thanks." Claire smiled as she made her way.

The hospital gave her a map, so she followed it to the West Tower. As Claire walked the hallways, she thought about what was going on. She hoped Kate was ok. For Jack not to know, it couldn't be that serious.

Claire hated to keep secrets. Especially from her family. Which now included Jack. It was a shock to learn she and Jack were siblings. Claire hadn't seen Christian in years. But after everything on the island, she glad to have Jack as her big brother. Whatever was going on with Kate was going to be hard to keep secret.

Claire got out of the elevator on the 4th floor. Kate's room was really close. She opened the door slowly.

"Kate?" Claire asked quietly.

"It's me." Kate replied, as Claire came in.

What Claire saw next shocked her. Kate was sitting up on the bed with a little baby boy wrapped in a blue blanket. Claire could tell Kate must have given birth to him earlier that day, since the brunette seemed tired.

"Oh my! Kate! You had a baby?" Claire said as she sat on the bed.

"Yeah." Kate nodded. "I'm so sorry for not telling anyone. I just didn't know how." Tears were coming now.

"Katie it's ok. We're all here for you. Both of you." Claire smiled at the little boy, touching his little fist. "I knew you and Jack were close, but I didn't realize how. You need to tell him, it explains…"

"I can't. I don't know if he's Jack's." Kate admitted.

Claire eyes were wide. "Sawyer?"

"First, I have to tell you I never slept with either of them."

"But how?" Claire was confused.

"Ben." Kate said flat out.

Claire understood now. Kate had filled her and Sun in with what happened, when they came back from "the Others". "Ben's dead and he still causes so much damage. I just hope he didn't do more."

"Me too." Kate agreed. "But I need to know his father."

Claire realized what needed to be done. "You need a DNA test. And since you can't test Jack, you need me."

"You would be his aunt, if it's Jack."

"Ok. I could have one done here." Kate thanked her and they hugged. "Can I hold him?" Claire asked.

"Sure." Kate smiled and passed him over.

"Hi! You're such a cutie!" She said smiling down at the baby. "Have you named him yet Kate?"

"Not yet. Do you have any ideas?" Kate laughed.

"I know, it too me forever to name Aaron." Claire giggled. "Try the Bible. That's how Aaron's name came to me." Claire suggested.

"Ok." Kate felt uneasy, since she hadn't read her Bible in years. But she would try it.

"He already got your hair." Claire pointed out. "When are you getting out?"

"Tomorrow. I'm calling Sun later to fill her in. I'll need help and I can't drive."

"I think we'll have plenty of things for the little guy." She handed the baby back to Kate since visiting hours were coming to a close. "I better go and get the DNA test run. I'll see you tomorrow. We have a lot to catch up on."

"Thanks again." Kate smiled.

Claire nodded as she left. Later, she was at the Genetics Lab getting the test set up, when she heard a voice that sounded a lot like Jack!

Worried, Claire ducked behind some chairs with the paper work. What is Jack doing here?

An older doctor was walking with Jack. Jack was dressed in a business suit, and the other doctor in the traditional white coat.

"Thanks for coming Dr. Shephard. You're insight helped with the case. It's the shame you won't work here." The older doctor said.

Jack smiled. "I'm good at St. Sebastian. Thanks anyway. Let me know if more help is needed."

They shook hands and left the lobby.

Claire got up and took a deep breath. That was close. She finished the paper work and submitted some of her hair to be compared to the baby's saliva.

"The results should be in, in about a week."

"Thanks." Claire smiled and left quickly.
