A/N: Thanks again for all the reviews!!! And this chapter contains some spoilers from last night's episode.

"Shouldn't you be going home soon?" A young blonde nurse asked.

Jack looked up from his desk. "I will be Jamie. I just want to check on Amy first."

Jamie followed Jack into Amy's room. The 16 year old had surgery to repair some nerve damage on her spine earlier that day. She was now awake; with her mother Gail sitting beside her.

Jack got Amy's chart and looked it over. "You seem to be coming out of surgery fine. Any pain or swelling Amy?"

"No." The young girl replied.

"Dr. Shephard?" Gail asked. "Will Amy eventually be able to do cheerleading again?"

Jack's bedside manner had improved greatly since being on the island. With a caring smile he said, "She should be, but physical therapy comes first."

"Thanks." Gail smiled back.

Jack was about to leave, when Amy had another question.

"Dr. Shephard?"

"Yeah?"

"Um…, this might be personal, but have you heard from Kate?"

Jack's eyes grew large. "What?"

"Amy!" Gail snapped at her daughter, while Jamie smiled.

"What? I've read about Jack and Kate from the newspapers. They were supposed to be a couple. It's going to be on that documentary on ABC." Amy explained.

Jack was even more confused now. "There's going to be a documentary?"

"Yeah." Jamie responded now. "It's on Wednesday and it's for the 1 year crash anniversary. There's going to be interviews and profiles."

Jack finally remembered what they were talking about. A few months ago, Jack was contacted for interviews, but he denied them.

"I guess you haven't heard for her. I wanted things to work out for you two." Amy added.

After Jack left the hospital, he got in his car and headed towards Claire's. Charlie was on tour and Claire needed someone to stay with her and Aaron.

Ever since being rescued, Claire couldn't be alone. It was a fear implanted by "the Others". But Jack could help. He was her big brother, making her feel safe.

It had been a shock finding out about Claire. Jack knew Christian had an affair, but not another child. 20 years kept Jack from his sister, but not anymore. Claire and Aaron were a major part of his life now. And Charlie would be too. They were engaged and planning a wedding.

But there was one person Jack wanted in his life, but couldn't.

Kate

Jack loved her so much. Kate knew it, but she loved someone else. Made it clear that her choice was Sawyer. Ben had made Jack watch Kate confess it over and over to Pickett. It broke him. Since then, he never thought he'd love again.

But more horrible things happened before rescue. Too many people died. Boone, Shannon, Scott, Ana, Libby, Cindy, Eko, Sayid, and Sawyer.

Jack wished Sawyer wouldn't have died. Sure, Sawyer was rude and obnoxious, but he was loyal and a friend. They didn't know it until after rescue, but Sawyer left a daughter behind. Now, Cassidy was going to have to raise Clementine by herself. And Kate wouldn't be on the run again. She would still be a part of their lives.

"Right, Doctor Giggles. Then everything would be just peachy."

Jack could just picture Sawyer saying that to him right now. But, Jack felt responsible for Sawyer's death. Pickett, or Danny, killed him in a jealous rage. Making Kate suffer for him loosing Colleen. If only Jack had stopped them.

Before he knew it, Jack was at Claire's house. He knocked on the door and she opened it for him to come in.

"Hey!" Claire hugged him. "Thanks again."

"Anytime sis." Jack smiled as he put his bag on the floor.

He felt someone pulling on his jeans. "Aaron! You just keep getting bigger and bigger!" Jack lifted his nephew up, making the child giggle.

"I have dinner for you in the microwave, since it's late. And I think Aaron needs to go to bed." Claire suggested.

Aaron gave his mom a sad look making Jack say, "Can't he stay up a little bit?"

Claire gave Jack a stern look, putting her hands on her hips.

"Sorry bud. It's bedtime." Jack handed the 11 month old to his mom.

While Claire went up the stairs, Jack went into the kitchen. He got his food reheated and sat down at the table.

A picture fell from a stack of papers as he sat down. Jack picked it up and saw a newborn in a crib. The baby had dark wavy hair and large blue eyes. The picture made Jack smile.

Claire walked in and saw the smile. "That's the Jack we've been missing!"

"Who's the baby?" Jack handed Claire the picture.

"Oh." A weird look came over Claire's face. "It's just a friend of Charlie's and mine."

"Ok." Jack said as Claire sat down. "So, have you heard about this ABC documentary?"

Claire rolled her eyes. "Yeah. What do they think? We're celebrities?"

Jack laughed. "I guess so."

The two siblings talked for awhile before going to their rooms.
