Chapter 5

Jack reaches the outside of Aaron's room, he sees Kate sat beside Aaron talking to him and stroking his hair, he pauses a moment and watched them together, as if sensing his presence or someone watching them Kate looks up to see Jack. She smiles slightly, then looks back down as he makes his way over. He places the wheel chair at the foot of the bed. Once Kate sees this she stands.

Kate: "What's that for." She asks a little shakily, looking at Aaron's legs, then at Jack. Who raises a hand.

Jack: "Nothing to worry about. I booked him in for his x-ray but it's a bit of walk, he's had quite an afternoon, it's the easiest way of getting him there." He says honestly, Kate nods but freezes as Jack starts to make his way over to her.

He's stood in front of her now he's looking at her, she wonders what he's going to do.

He looks at her then coughs a little, as she doesn't seem to be moving. He then points behind her where Aaron is sitting, she looks at Jack then to where he's pointing everything falling into place she blushes slightly as she nods her head.

Kate: "Right, err…I'll get out of your way." She looks up at Jack who is in her way now, she points behind him. He looks behind him then back at Kate who smiles slightly then she looks down a little embarrassed.

Kate: " Can I get passed you."

Jack looks at her then blushes a little himself.

Jack: " Yeah sorry." He says quickly and steps aside letting her pass. Kate hesitates then passes, her arm accidentally brushing against Jack's chest as she passes him, she feels herself blush some more and a shiver run through her body, she hopes Jack had not seen. Yet Jack was to busy watching her pass him, and he was relishing in the moment of having her touch him again. Once the moment passed Jack turns to Aaron, to what he was doing. He sits next to him, Aaron looks up and smiles at him. Kate, who is standing back, at the foot of the bed, watches them savoring the moment of seeing them together again.

Jack: "Hey, Aaron. I'm going to lift you up and carry you over to that wheel chair okay."

He places his right arm under Aaron's legs his other behind Aaron's back under his arms, taking care not to hurt his right arm. He counts to three and on the third count lifts him.

He stands with Aaron in his arms, Aaron immediately resting his head on Jack's chest. His left arm around Jack's neck, he closes his eyes for holding onto the moment of being in his daddy's safe arms.

Jack walks towards the chair and he carefully places Aaron in it. Kate places her hands on the chair. Suddenly Jack's hands are on top of hers she looks up at him flustered.

Jack: " Why don't you let me get that."

Kate just simply nods, she pushes the chair forward slightly Jack takes a hold of the chair. Kate stands there holding her hands together, oh how she had missed his touch, she wasn't going to deny it now. The longer she was with him here, the more those feelings she had thought she had put away were resurfacing. Jack turns back to her.

Jack: "Are you coming Kate?"

He says looking back at her, as if finally acknowledging her, it was the first time he had said her name since she'd been there, and she realized just how much she had missed hearing her name pass his lips. Missed his lips. She shouldn't be thinking those thoughts, they were not together anymore. It just made it harder, as she remembered how she had come to know how his lips felt on hers, and how they were not together anymore.

Kate nods her head and starts walking towards him, as he sees this, Jack sets off, with Kate behind him heading toward the x-ray room, soon after that they would not have much time together. He just hopes that it would not be the last, because he could not keep denying that he loved her he had never stopped, he just does not know whether she still loves him. Who is he kidding, of course she doesn't love him, he left her, standing there that night heart broken then didn't leave her alone for 6 months until she finally told him she couldn't do this and for him not to see her or Aaron anymore.

After that night, after going to the funeral home, he was going to go back, but then in that moment, when he was staring into the coffin, he realized how low he had sunk. What he was loosing, what he was becoming, what he had lost. He realized he had a choice, he could continue this downward spiral and everything between him and Kate would have been for nothing, he would be nothing to her. He did not want that to happen she could hate him, he could live with that, but he could not go back without her. Therefore, without a second thought he had shut the casket and was closing that part of his past, he was finally deciding to let go of that, and try to grasp back hold of what was slowly slipping away from him. Himself. He swore to himself in that moment that he would get himself right, he would stop this obsession, the Island, the drinking, and the pills. If he decided to let go of the island maybe it would let go of him too.

Now here he was in his hospital 8 months later pushing Aaron in a wheel chair, Kate behind him, not knowing if she hated him, but she was here with him, and he knew he had made the right choice.

Okay. So quite a lot of thoughts there at the end but I didn't know how else to get it across, I didn't really want to put flash backs in, and well Jack is thinking a lot he always is, so that is that. What will happen once Aaron gets his cast, will that be goodbye for them? Let me know what you think ;-) I will try to update soon x
