A/N: Thanks everyone for the reviews:)
"Thanks again for having us over." Cassidy replied with a warm smile. Clementine was playing with Aaron and Mia, while Jacob was asleep in his swing.
"You're welcome." All 3 women said at the same time, sending them all into fits of laughter.
"We've been hoping to spend time with you." Claire replied, when she stopped laughing.
"It will give us moms a chance to talk about the kids and our men." Sun added joking.
"Kate. Thanks for offering you're home. It's beautiful." Cassidy complimented.
"Thanks and anytime." Kate smiled.
"I've wanted to talk to you. You knew Sawyer pretty well, right?"
Claire and Sun looked at Kate for her answer. "Yes. He was one of my close friends." Kate was still saddened by his death.
"Great. Clem has been asking more about him. I've told her everything I knew, but I think your perspective could help. If you don't mind?"
Kate was touched by this. "I don't mind at all."
After talking more, Claire and Sun left with their kids. Kate had just fed Jacob, when Clementine found her.
"Kate?" Clementine looked up. "You know a lot about my daddy?"
Kate nodded at her. The little girl looked so much like Sawyer that Kate was taken aback. She kneeled down to Clem's height. "Yeah. Your dad was a great friend."
Clem's blue eyes lit up. "Was he nice?"
Kate smiled. "When he wanted to be."
"Did he love me?" Clementine worried.
Having no idea what to say, Kate said what she believed. "Yes. You're daddy loved you so much."
The little girl smiled widely. "Was daddy a hero?"
Tears came to Kate's eyes. "Yes. You know my baby Jacob?" Clem nodded. "Well, Sawyer saved our lives. Without your dad, we wouldn't be here."
"Wow!" Clementine hugged Kate.
Kate hugged her back and smiled as the little girl went to play again, happier now.
"Is that true?" Cassidy asked confused.
Kate faced her and nodded. "That's how Sawyer died. They were going to shoot me, so he dove in front."
Cassidy hugged Kate, tears flowing from both. A new life long friendship was formed between the three women James' loved.
Kevin watched from the tree line, as the shorter brunette and the blonde girl left. Kate smiled and watched the girls leave.
"Well, hello Monica." Kevin said still betrayed.
As he opened his car door about to face her, another car pulled into the driveway. This one parked in the garage. Kevin saw the man named Jack emerge and meet Kate at the door with a kiss.
"I guess this just delays things till tomorrow honey." Kevin smiled.
