A/N: Thanks for the reviews!!! Tomorrow is going to be the documentary chapter, then Friday is the big reveal:)
Jack was glad he had taken these 2 weeks off from work. He was getting a much needed break and some time to spend with his sister and nephew. Not to mention, the one year anniversary of the plane crash was in 2 days. So much had changed in one year.
Jack started to wonder where Kate was again. He hoped she was safe and happy.
A knock came to Claire's door, making Jack jump.
It's too early for Charlie to be back.
Claire and Aaron were at the airport waiting for Charlie's plane. It came in at 3.
The time was now 2:42.
Jack got to the door and opened it.
"Long time, no see brother!" Desmond smiled widely.
"Can the welcoming party come in dude?" Hurley asked with a grin.
Jack laughed at his friends. "Hey guys! Come on in. Charlie and Claire will be back soon."
The 2 men entered the house. Desmond put some beer in the fridge, after handing one to Jack. "What's a welcome party without beer?"
The guys laughed as Jack opened up his.
"So, how's Pen doing?" Jack asked.
"Great! We're expecting! Turing into the bloody Beatles song "Oh Blah Di". Desmond beamed. He and Penelope got married right after rescue.
"Dude! That's awesome!" Hurley replied.
"Congrats. You two deserve it." Jack added.
"Thanks. Anything new for the doctor?" Desmond asked.
"Besides many patients, not that much. That's why I'm glad for a vacation."
Hurley looked uneasy. "So Jack. Um… Have you heard anything? It's almost been a year."
Both men looked at Jack for his answer. However, he shook his head. "No."
"Oh." Hurley said disappointed.
"Don't worry brother. You'll hear from her soon." Desmond told Jack flat out.
Jack and Hurley looked over with shocked looks on their faces. "What?"
"Keep the faith." Desmond smiled knowingly.
"We're home!" Claire, holding Aaron, and Charlie both said.
"Hey guys! You're early!" Jack said surprised.
"My flight came in early. The concerts were bloody brilliant! I've never played in front of that many people." Charlie explained.
The 5 of them went out to the back patio to talk and catch up.
