I'm sure you're anxiously awaiting this chapter….so I'll get right on with it!

Kate scanned Jack's eyes carefully. He looked up at her expectantly.

"So…get married? On the island?"

"Yes, Kate." He said, smiling at her.
"Well...I mean…it's just all so fast."
"I know it is. But are you willing to take this risk with me?" he asked once again.

A smile slowly crept on Kate's face. "Yes." She said.

"Yes?" he asked, grinning broadly.
"Yes, Jack. I would love to marry you." She said. He put the ring onto her finger, got up, and kissed her, holding her close to him. He pulled apart from her and saw tears in her eyes.
"Kate…please don't cry." He said, wiping the tears away with his thumb.
"I'm sorry. I'm just…so happy. And I can't believe that you even want to marry me."

"Kate…you're my world. I love you so much…so please don't doubt my love for you. Not for one second. Okay?"

She smiled and nodded. "We're getting married." She whispered and he nodded.
"Yeah baby. We are." He said.
"But are we ready for this? I mean…I know I love you and that you love me…but are we ready to get married? To have children?"
"Well do you want to?"
"More than anything." She said, sighing.

"Well then, yes. Kate, I was ready to marry you from the second I met you." He said and she grinned, hugging him again.

"Where'd you get this ring?" she asked, laughing.

"Rebecca." He said and she looked questioningly at him. "She gave me a ring for you…her husband is dead and she's getting old. She wanted to pass them on to her daughter…but since she never had any kids, she passed them on to me after I told her my plan."
"I might have to thank her." Kate decided.
"She has one for you to give me for the wedding too."
"I feel bad taking their rings..."
Jack smiled. "I don't."

"So…" she began, sitting in the sand. Jack sat beside her, wrapping his strong arms around her.
"When?"

"Tomorrow?" Jack asked, looking down at her.

"Are you serious?" she giggled.
"Well, we don't really have a wedding to plan. We just need to get Mr. Eko to agree on a time…and get everyone together." Jack pointed out.
"True. But where?"

"Kate…we don't have that many options…jungle, beach or hatch." He said. "Beach sounds romantic." He said, smiling.

"Okay. The beach. Tomorrow. But no dress." She said sadly.

"It's okay Kate…we're all going to be in out jeans and t-shirts. But does that really matter in the end? We want to get married…"

"You're right." She said, smiling, kissing Jack's cheek. She giggled. "Please shave for tomorrow." She said, rubbing her hands on his stubbly chin. He smiled.
"Anything for you love."

"I can't believe that tomorrow, I'll be Mrs. Kate Shephard."

"That you will. And you'll make me the luckiest man alive." He said quietly.

They just sat there for a minute in silence, listening the waves and holding each other, until Kate interrupted the silence.

"We should go talk to Eko." Kate said, smiling.
"Let's go." Jack said, getting up and then helping Kate up. He grabbed her hand in his as they ran down the beach towards the camp.

(I decided that I'm really bad at writing Eko, so I'm just not going to write his part here…sorry for Eko fans!)

Luckily, Eko agreed and Jack and Kate couldn't be more thrilled. Word spread quick enough and within minutes, everyone knew that for once, they'd be getting together for a happy occasion instead of a funeral.

Jack was off in the hatch, getting a shower for tomorrow and Kate sat on the shoreline, thinking about Jack and how much she couldn't wait to marry him tomorrow.

"Do you think he REALLY loves you?" Sawyer asked, sitting down beside her.
"What do you mean?" Kate asked, never looking at him.
"He's been married before, right? How do you know that he hasn't forgotten about her Freckles? That he's not just using you?"
"I know he's not. I know how Jack is. He wouldn't do that to me. And no, he hasn't forgotten, but I also know he's not using me to forget. We're getting married because we're in love, Sawyer."
"I just thought…"
"I know. You're trying to scare me out of marrying Jack. Well guess what Sawyer? Even if I didn't marry Jack, I wouldn't marry you. Jack treats me like a person. You just…treat me like a trophy. And I hate it."
"Freckles…I never…"

"I know Sawyer. You never meant it that way. But that still won't change how much I love Jack." She said, getting up.

"I hope we'll see you at our wedding tomorrow." She said, getting up and walking towards her tent. She saw Jack walking out of the jungle and a smile spread on her face. He walked up to her and hugged her tightly.
"You okay honey?" he asked, pulling away from her.

"Yeah…Sawyer's just trying to scare me out of marrying you since you were married before. So I basically would never marry him, let alone date him."
"A little harsh Katie." He said, shaking his head.
"He had to hear it!" Kate said, smiling at his nickname for her.
"You're mine woman. He can't have you. Sorry." Jack said and Kate smiled.

"I know. And I don't intend on that happening. So there." She said, sticking out her tongue. She yawned. "It's getting late. I should get to bed."
"Goodnight Kate." Jack said, kissing her.
"Might as well start calling me Mrs. Shephard." She said and Jack smiled.
"That sounds good."
"Yeah…it does." She grinned.
"Goodnight honey." She said, kissing him again and going into her tent.

He sighed. Tomorrow was going to be a long and exciting day, and he couldn't wait.

Next chapter…the WEDDING! Ahh! I know it's fast…but do you see my reasoning? Plus, it's going to get REALLY fluffy (for those that like fluff) maybe even a jaby….eventually…haha.

REVIEW PLEASE! Love it? Hate it? Just okay? Any ideas? What do YOU want to see in the story? My only request- if you hated it, please give me constructive criticism, like what I did that you didn't like and what I can do to fix it, instead of just saying "this sucks. You die." OK? thanks!
