Okay, if you read chapter 22 before the correction was made, it was suppossed to be "Sydney to L.A." not, Sydney to Australia. It was late and my mind wasn't working, my deepest apologies! This newest chapter may be a little confusing because I add a couple new characters. If you have any questions please either leave that in a review or send me a message :)

I hope you enjoy!!!

R&R!!! p.s. sorry this took so long, I had major uploading issues :(

"Wait, Kate what's wrong?" Charlie asked, slowly chasing after Kate who had sprinted into the jungle. "Kate! Slow down!"

But she kept running, with no intent to stop. Getting as far away as possible from Sawyer was exactly what she wanted to do. Maybe she could just fall asleep and never wake up. Maybe-

And then she heard it, the terrible mechanical noise that she had heard that day in the net with Jack. She stopped and turned to look straight into the eye of the monster. But this time, all she saw, was Wayne.

Flashback

"Katie bear! Where were you this morning?" Tom said, walking up behind her and giving her a hug. "How's Lila doing today?" he asked, gently pulling the small toddler out of her highchair. He still got tears in his eyes every time he saw her adorable face.

"She's fine" Kate answered, smiling and kissing his cheek softly. Sitting back down in her chair she smoothed her paisley skirt and grabbed her half empty mug of coffee. "I was a little busy this morning… sorry I couldn't make it"

"But it was supposed to be a special day" Tom whispered, kissing her with more passion now.

"Well, I think it may turn out to be one after all" her smile never fading.

"Mommy do" Lila squealed as Tom tried to fix the bow in her hair.

"No sweetie, Daddy do. Mommy is drinking coffee, and if she stops she might fall asleep and then she can't tell Daddy the surprise"

"Mommy do!" the toddler squealed again, this time just for laughs as Tom delicately removed the bow.

"So what's this surprise?" Tom asked

"Well today I took a pregnancy test…" Kate tried to gage his emotions but he wasn't giving her much.

"And… what did it-" they were interrupted by his cell phone ringing. He quickly glanced at the display, "Sorry, I gotta take this" he said, and walked out of the room, conversation already going strong.

"I guess Daddy'll just have to wait" Kate sighed and looked down at Lila who was now sitting on the dirty kitchen floor.

"How about we get you cleaned up?" she said, pulling the toddler to her hip and walking up the stairs.

"Mommy do"

"That's right," Kate said glancing back at her husband, "Mommy do"

Flashback over

Kate's eyes filled with tears as she saw her father standing in front of her. The sound had been the same as when she had seen the monster with Jack, but this time instead of a giant cloud, only a ghost had appeared. Her surprise was quickly ruined by what she saw sitting directly behind him on the soggy earth floor.

"Mommy do," the words still haunted Kate to this day.

'Don't say it' she thought, 'Don't let me remember you'. She sent silent pleads to her daughter. Debating whether to go and pick the child up or stay where she was, Wayne interrupted.

"Wasn't expectin' us were ya?" he drawled, and suddenly Kate was filled with disgust. How could this man really be her father? He was an evil man that could never do any good to the world.

"What… are you doing here…?" Kate's voice shook like an earthquake as she spoke.

"Well we was just comin' by to say 'ello. But it looks like you don't want us here… so I guess we'll just shove off" he said, bending down to retrieve the child

"Mommy do"

Kate thought she was just hallucinating but then she saw Lila slowly crawl towards her.

"Mommy do" she repeated.

"Yes, yes Mommy do" Kate's eyes were pouring out tears as she went to reach for her baby girl.

"Kate? What are you doing?" Charlie asked from behind her.

She quickly turned her attention to the little British man. "I was just," she paused to look back at her daughter and father, but when she turned back around, nothing was there except Lila's pacifier.

I promise all will be explained soon!!! Is Kate pregnant? What happened to Lila, since only ghosts appear on the island? Why is Wayne there? What the hell is going on with Sawyer?!?!? any guesses? feel free to tell me:)
