A/N: Thanks for the reviews everyone!!! I have a feeling you all really like this chapter too!!! And there are some slight spoilers for tomorrow's episode "I Do". :)


Jack looked out the window of Claire's car. They were heading into a different part of LA. It was more secluded and had lots of trees mixed with houses. It almost resembled somewhere in the Midwest. This was definitely not where Claire said they were going.

"Um, Claire? I hope you know this isn't the way." Jack teased.

Claire looked over. "I know. It's a surprise. I didn't want to ruin it."

"So where are we going?"

Claire flashed a cheeky smile. "You'll see. Patience Jack." She tried to impersonate Locke.

Jack rolled his eyes and the two siblings burst into laughter.

Soon, Claire was driving again and Jack looked back out the window. As he stared at the trees, memories of Kate came flooding back. After watching the documentary, she was all he could think about. Regret was in his mind now. Jack wished he could go back and change things.

The car slowed down, interrupting Jack's thoughts. "We're here!" Claire smiled.

She turned the car into a long driveway. At first Jack didn't notice anything, but soon a two story house appeared behind the trees. It was a beautiful home with lots of flowers, trees, and land.

"Who's is this?" Jack asked.

Claire didn't reply, but a slight smile appeared on her face. She parked the car close to the garage, but didn't pull in. She opened her door and got out. Jack soon followed and walked with his sister to the front door.

The door was surprising unlocked and Claire walked in. Jack followed her into the house.

Jack took in the entire house. If possible, it was more breathtaking inside than out.

"How come you didn't tell me, you were moving?" Jack asked.

Claire gave him a sly smile and called out "We're here!"

Jack looked at Claire confused, but suddenly he heard footsteps from the kitchen. Then he saw the person he wanted to see so badly.

Kate

This was the 3rd time they had met like this. The first was after the cave in and Kate thought he was dead, giving him that hug. The second time was when Ben needed the surgery. Juliet brought Kate to him. Jack couldn't touch her through the glass, but he wanted to hold her so badly.

Now, Kate was here again. Tears were falling from both sets of eyes. Kate walked closer to him and a slight smile appeared.

"Hello Jack."

Jack was unknowing moving towards her. "Katie!"

She ran the final few steps falling into his arms. It felt so good for Jack to finally hold her again. To protect and comfort her. Kate buried her head into his chest as she cried and clung to him.

"I've missed you so much." Kate was able to get out.

Jack rubbed her back and whispered, "Oh God, I've missed you too."

Claire had tears of her own seeing them finally back together. "I'm going to give you two some privacy."

Jack nodded and gave his sister a looks of pure thanks. Claire nodded back and left the house.

Kate was still in his arms and she moved her head up. She started to giggle. "I guess you can take you coat off."

Jack chuckled right back. "Yeah, I guess I can."

They let go of each other so Jack could put his coat in the closet. When he was done, he walked back over to Kate and ran his fingers through her dark wavy hair.

"Why did you hide?" He asked, not meanly, but lovingly.

"I'll tell you, but there is something more important. Wait here." Kate placed a hand on Jack's chest to still him.

He nodded as Kate went into what had to be the living room. He waited a few minuets looking out the widow to see that Claire took the car a left.

"This is why I hid." Kate announced.

Jack turned around to look at her, but was stunned. In Kate's arms, she held a little baby boy.

He walked towards them till he was inches away. The little baby's eyes were open and he looked up to Jack.

Kate locked eyes with Jack and smiled. "This is Jacob. Our son."

Jack was in a state of shock. He looked back at the baby now seeing him and Kate. Jacob definitely had his mother's eyes. "Mine. But how? I mean, we never…"

"I know. Juliet and Ben implanted him in me. Maybe we should sit down."

Jack agreed and the 3 of them made their way into the living room. They sat on the couch, close to each other.

"Do you want to hold him?" Kate smiled.

"Yeah." Jack carefully received Jacob and held him close. "He's really mine?"

Kate nodded and reached for a paper. "Claire arranged a DNA test after he was born. We found out yesterday." She held the results for Jack to see.

A huge smile and tears of joy came to Jack's face. "A son! We have a son!" Jack looked down at his boy's content sleeping face. He was a father and so much love immediately came to him for his son. "Hey buddy! I'm your dad!" He bent and kissed his forehead. Kate was so happy to see her boys together. Jack then looked at Kate. "When was he born?"

"A week ago yesterday. His full name is Jacob Christian Shephard." She touched one of her little boy's fists.

"After me and my dad." Jack looked into Kate's beautiful green eyes.

Kate nodded. "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you. I was so worried." She said as she started to cry.

Holding Jacob with one arm, he cupped Kate's face with the other. "It's ok. I'm here now and I'm not leaving."

Kate laid her head on Jack's shoulder as his arm went around her. "Stay with us."

"I wouldn't miss this for the world."
