A/N: I'm so sorry I haven't been able to update!!! It's finals week at my college so I have been super busy. I promise though that my updates will be almost 5 times a week!!! And for this chapter, I've always wanted to include "Grey's Anatomy" with Lost!!! LOL :)
Jack was silent as Dr. Jennifer O'Malley looked Jacob over. The little baby was lying on the bed and seemed happy.
"All done Sweetie!" Jenn said as Jacob squealed. She looked over to her collogue. "He's completely healthy Jack."
"Thanks." Jack replied as one of his weights was lifted. "I just hope now Kate is ok."
"You have my prayers and the whole O'Malley family's too." Jennifer smiled. She was the youngest of 7 kids, and a pediatrician. "You saved their lives!" She said in amazement. "Well, I have more kids to see. Take care."
"You too." Jack smiled as Jenn left.
Jack then picked up Jacob and sat down in the chair. Looking into his son's large green eyes, he couldn't get over the fact that Jacob always seemed happy.
"I love you so much. You know that?" Jack said to his son.
Jacob looked up and smiled. Jack smiled back and kissed his forehead.
"Let's hope mommy's ok too."
The door opened and a male doctor came in with a female intern.
"How are my cousins?" The man said touching Jacob's fist.
"Hey Derek. Meredith. Jacob is fine. Have you heard anything about Kate?"
"No." Derek replied. "The chief and Addison are still with her."
"It really shouldn't be taking this long." Jack worried, holding Jacob closer to him.
"I'm sure Kate will be fine. She's strong." Meredith assured Jack.
"Thanks." Jack took a deep breath. "While I'm here, Claire wanted to know if you'll be coming to the wedding."
Derek smiled. "You think I'm going to miss my baby cousin's wedding! Nancy's coming in too."
"Oh boy! Mom's going to have a field day." Jack laughed. Derek and Nancy Shephard, along with 3 more girls, were Jack and Claire's cousins from New York. Christian and Derek's father were brothers. "Nancy is her favorite."
"Is that why Nancy acts so snobbish?" Mer asked.
Jack and Derek laughed. Derek replied, "Aunt Margo taught her well."
"Anyway, Jack I'm coming too, as Derek's date." Mer beamed.
"Claire will love that." Suddenly, Dr. Richard Webber, the chief since Christian's death, and Dr. Addison Montgomery came into the room.
"Jack, the rape kit was negative. You got there in time." Addison smiled.
"Thanks Addie." Jack replied to his former cousin-in-law.
Richard looked at Jack. "Katherine's fine. Just some minor bruises, lacerations, and a minor break on her left wrist. Dr. Torres put a sling and cast on it. She should be fine in about a week or two, and ready to go home tonight."
"Thank you sir." Jack was relieved.
"And I'm letting you take some extra time off. Derek will take over for your surgeries." Richard added.
"Ok." Jack replied. Kate then was helped in by the blonde intern Izzie. "Hey." Jack got up with Jacob still in his arms.
"Hey." Kate replied quietly. Meredith went to her side to help her walk over to Jack.
"We'll be gong now. Take care." Richard said as he, Addison, and Izzie left.
"We better get going too." Derek added. "I hope you feel better Kate." He hugged her.
"Thank you Derek." Kate smiled.
Meredith hugged her next. "I'm so glad your ok. Call me if you need to talk anytime. See you at the wedding."
"I will Mer. Thanks." Kate replied as Meredith and Derek left.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Jack asked.
Kate locked eyes and smiled. "Yes. I have my boys protecting me." She bent up and kissed Jack gently. "This reminds me of the cave in."
Jack remembered and softly laughed. "Your first sling?"
Kate nodded. She then kissed Jacob's forehead. "Can we go home?"
"You have to give a statement to the police. It seems that Kevin was acting irrationally for a few years now. The Miami police were letting him go."
"Ok." Kate sighed. "What about the room?"
The cops took everything out of it."
"Good. I don't need the reminder."
Jack brought her close to him and kissed her. "Let's go."
After telling the police, the Shephard family headed home. The 3 of them were exhausted. Jack decided to keep Jacob in the room with them that night. He was lying on the bed with a sleeping Jacob on his chest.
Kate crawled into bed next to Jack. With the sling and cast on, she stayed on her right side. He moved the hair from her face to kiss her lips.
"You're safe now." Jack whispered.
"I love you." She whispered back and kissed him again.
Kate moved closer to where their bodies were completely against each other. She could still touch Jacob's back with her hurt hand. Jack rested his hand on top of hers. Kate then laid her head on Jack's shoulder and fell asleep.
Jack pressed his lips to her forehead and let them linger for a little bit. He too soon drifted off to sleep.
