Jack sat in his car with James and Claire in the back driving through traffic to get to the LA mental hospital that he was meeting Hurley at. It was his birthday and he had been waiting for him all day.
He got out of his car in the empty parking lot and opened the back door to the car and pulled out Claire. He locked the door behind James and was about to open the door to the mental hospital when a familiar voice sounded behind him. "So your not even going to ask Ben to send you back too?"
Jack spun around to and almost dropped the baby when he saw Charlie. "How?"
"Long story, now I know how you can get back Jack! And you'll be really happy to know I can send the kids back as well!"
"You…you can?"
"Yeah."
"So will there be like two of me?"
"No the same thing will happen to you that happened to Kate."
"Mommy? What happened to my mommy? Is she all right?" James cried out stepping towards Charlie.
"Ben killed her, in both 2004 and 2014 and she came back in 2004, Juliet saved her. You couldn't. You though she had been dead too long. But yeah she's fine, I mean everyone thinks she's insane, but what ever."
"Then do you it, send me back."
"Me too! I want to see my mommy!"
"You both want back?"
"Yes!" James screamed out.
"The baby can't go to the island, she has never been there before, and I don't think it's a good idea."
"Fine! I'll, I'll let Sun hold on to her for awhile, just please send us back."
"Alright man what ever you say…"
Jack wasn't thinking straight, he didn't know what exactly he had agreed to, but it was something. He swore he stood there staring in the face of a ghost for almost an hour before he fell over and then nothing, he just felt coldness.
"So what's the first thing your going to do when you get back to the beach, Michael?" Kate asked while they were all sitting around the fire for the night.
"I don't know, get my ass kicked by everybody else, and watch Ben like a hawk. What else?"
"You'll probably get sawyer asking you how I feels to be the most hated man on the island." Kate added half laughing.
"Yeah." Michael smiled. Then the group started to laugh but immediately stopped when they heard something moving behind them.
Jack stood up holding his gun out closely followed by Kate and Frank. They stood completely still as a small figure of a boy emerged from the bushes. "Mommy?" he said looking up at Kate.
"James!" Kate screamed dropping her gun and running towards the little boy.
"Mommy! Where…where am I?"
"Hon you're on the island. How did you get here?"
"I was with uncle Jack and Claire, when some guy he called Charlie came up and started talking about how he could send us to the island and then it was just….black and cold." He started to sob into his mother's belly.
"It's all right baby you're here now. With me."
"Mommy? Did uncle Jack tell you that da-Kevin is dead?"
"What?" Kate yelled finally breaking down. She fell to her knees bawling into her hands her son's arms still wrapped tightly around her.
Jack. Michael and Frank were standing there staring at the small family sadly. Jack slowly started towards Kate. He put a hand on her shoulder. "Kate, you know it's going to be alright, right? Who was Kevin any way?"
Kate looked up into Jack's face, "He is…was my…my husband."
Jack looked at her blankly. "Oh, Kate I am so sorry." Jack offered a hand to her which she took and used Jack to stand up picking the small boy up in her arms.
"We should get some sleep." Michael said awkwardly sitting down.
Kate nodded and carried her son towards the fire lying down with and they slept.
"Jack…Jack…come on man wake up!" Kate woke up to Michael screaming.
She slowly opened her eyes to see her son sitting next to Jack who was getting CPR by Frank and Michael was shaking him roughly
She stumbled as she sat up yawning. "What's wrong with him?"
"I don't know he just never woke up." Frank answered now pounding his chest.
Frank was about to give up when Jack's eyes flew open and he sat up coughing tiredly. He looked around for a second slowly backing away at the sight of Frank. Then he saw her. "Kate!"
"Jack, what happened?"
"Charlie he sent me back, he let James come too, Kate I thought you were dead! But…but you're back!"
Kate couldn't believe it he was sent back in time too. "Jack, how…oh god, Jack." She got closer to him and press her lips to him ear whispering "Pretend like nothing happened like you just woke up from a dream or something, right now we are with Michael and Frank who have just returned to the island."
She backed away.
"Jack man, what was that?" Michael said putting a hand on Jack's shoulders.
"I was sleeping with my head on a rock, it pushed to hard in my temple and I just got hurt, I'll be fine now." He said smiling calmly.
"Uncle Jack are you okay?"
"Jack, this is my son James, he calls you uncle Jack because I told him that if you ever got off the island you would be his godfather, and I would want you to be his uncle any way."
"Yeah, James…I'm alright."
"You sure?"
"Yeah bud, I'm sure."
"Okay, well then we better start moving." Frank said standing up.
Jack nodded and stood up with help from Kate. He was still a little wobbly but would be fine.
Kate took her son's hand and walked behind Michael and Frank but beside Jack. She looked at him and smiled slightly suddenly remembering. "So is he dead?"
"IS who dead?"
"Kevin, is he…I mean did he die?"
"Yeah, Kate. I'm sorry but Ben shot his in the head."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
He thought about this long and hard knowing the truth completely but not wanting to admit it to her but there was no other reason for him not to tell her that her husband the one who sent her back her, the one that he hated so much was dead. So as much as he didn't like it, he told her the truth.
"I didn't tell you that Kevin was gone because he was the one that sent you back here, he was the one that agreed to let Ben take you and-" He was interrupted by Kate.
"So! Do I still not deserve to know when my husband is dead?" She said coldly before picking up her pace and walked next to Michael.
Jack felt immediate regret; he should have told her first, not waste time with all the stuff he did to her. He should have just told her why he didn't want her to be sad, why he didn't want her to cry.
"I didn't tell you because I love you." He whispered to the wind.
