Ok this is actually my second Random post tonight so please be sure to read both chapters 7 and 8. Also be warned this is a short one cause I'm losing typing ability as the night goes on. This is dedicated to my buddy Kat who asked for a pregnancy story and I just saw a video over at LVI that inspired me though this won't be as angsty.
TWO FREAKING LINES (RATING: I HAVE NO IDEA SOME TALK OF SEX)
She was going to kill him it was just the way things had to be. She stared down at the stupid white stick in her hand that just seemed to be gloating at her. Two lines and there they were smiling back up at her. It wasn't that Kate was against the idea of a baby and she sure wasn't against the idea of having Jack's baby it was just circumstances could be a little more desirable. Right now they were stranded on an island inhabited by polar bears, smoke monsters, a crazy baby stealing French woman and a bunch of crazy baby stealing natives. Yes things could stand to be a little easier, oh and the fact that she was a fugitive on the run didn't quite help.
She sighed and rubbed her forehead, ok so maybe she wouldn't kill him, she had her part in it as well. She had sure participated that's for sure. She smirked remembering the situation that had her standing here holding a positive pregnancy test. She quickly wiped the smile off her face and scolded herself. That kind of thinking was what got her in trouble in the first place. She needed to find him and tell him and he could figure it all out. She didn't even know if they were a real couple, what defines a couple? They've never been on a date at least in the conventional aspect, they've told each other they love each other but that was at the peak of their sexual satisfaction and nothing said then can really be taken serious. Did one night of earth shattering sex count for couplehood? They hadn't had sex since that one night but it wasn't for lack of trying he was just so damn busy. They still made plans and ate dinner together and when Jack got stuck on the beach he would crawl into bed with her to catch up on his sleep. No one knew about the change in their relationship either. Ok she decided right then they were indeed a couple, he was indeed responsible and her right to kill him became valid once again.
She stormed across the beach and didn't see him anywhere, she wondered if he was like Superman if she cried ouch would he appear out of nowhere?
"How are you Freckles?" Sawyer asked watching the brunette amused as she had just stormed across the beach muttering to herself. Sawyer couldn't pass that opportunity up to push her buttons.
Kate looked over at him, "Have you seen Jack?"
Sawyer rolled his eyes, of course she would be looking for the Doc. "Can't say I have darling" he smirked.
"Well if you do tell him I'm looking for him and I'm going to kill him." Kate said.
Sawyer gave her a surprised look, "What did he do?" he asked.
Kate turned to him eyes flashing, "Oh that's right take his side, ugh that is such a man thing to do. Take his side without any of the facts." She threw her hands up in the air and stormed off muttering again.
Sawyer for the first time in his life felt bad for Jack. He watched Kate walk down the beach and wondered what the Doc had done to piss Kate off this much. He looked over to see a castaway named Fred get knocked over by Vincent and fall into the ocean. Now that was just an opportunity he couldn't pass up on as he went to ridicule the now soaking wet man.
Kate knew she was over reacting but she was pretty much freaking out and figured she deserved the right to. She still hadn't found Jack and it seemed the longer it was taking her to find him the more angry and over emotional she was becoming. She saw Claire and Shannon sitting by Claire's tent.
"Hey guys have you seen Jack?" Kate asked. Maybe she should talk to Claire she's been there and would know what to do.
"I don't think so, not for awhile anyways." Claire said thinking back.
"Not since early this morning at the caves, I had an asthma attack" Shannon said. "Why don't you pull up a seat and we can girl talk?"
Kate sat and suddenly felt the need to tell someone her secret. As much as she was terrified of her situation she was excited as well. He also figured once she rang Jack's neck she would feel much better.
"So any new news with you?" Claire asked and Kate nodded slowly and pulled out the little white stick. Both blondes' eyes grew huge as they saw what she was holding.
"Does that mean positive?" Shannon asked of the two little lines.
"Positve" Kate said with a nod. "I'm not sure if I want to run screaming into the ocean to never return or jump up and down and be really excited." Kate said chewing on her lip.
"Oh be excited" Claire said, "I spent most of my pregnancy in regret and I wasted so much time cause I love Aaron to death" Claire said with a smile looking over at a sleeping Aaron curled up in his crib.
Kate blushed "I'm getting more and more excited when I think about it"
"Um ok so I'm going to ask, who's the father?" Shannon asked.
Kate was about to answer when she heard someone call out Jack's name. She looked over and saw the big jerk talking to some blonde in what could loosely be called a swimsuit.
"Excuse me for a second" she said jumping up tucking the stick in her pocket.
"Wait" Shannon said, she looked at Claire, "So who's the father?"
"She's going to Jack" Claire said excitedly.
"Because he's daddy or because he's the doctor?" Shannon asked curiously.
Claire made a face, "Maybe both? Let's just watch and see" they watched as Jack walked away from the woman near the water and headed up the beach and right into Kate's path. At this point Sawyer was also watching waiting to see what Freckles had in store for Jacko.
Kate walked up to him and saw he was wiping his hands on a towel. He looked up saw her and smiled.
"What's with the blonde?" she asked getting straight to the point. Jack gave her a strange look and then realized who she meant.
"Oh that's Cathy she got into some allergic reaction so she needed some ointment." He said gesturing over his shoulder where the blonde was now sitting near the water.
"And she needed you to put in on her?" Kate asked knowing she sounded like a total bitch. Jack chuckled and Kate wondered what he found so damn amusing.
"Uh no I think her husband can do that just fine, I was just telling her what it was." Jack said and Kate looked over to see Cathy sitting with a man who was rubbing the ointment on her arms. She suddenly stopped and watched how gentle the man was and when he was done he kissed his wife gently on the lips. Kate felt the tears well in her eyes. She wanted that. She looked at Jack who was watching her carefully guessing by her mood he was in trouble of some sort.
She reached into her pocket and handed him the stick without saying anything. He was quiet for a second and the suspense was killing her. She was so emotional right now she feared what havoc her hormones were going to wreak on her over the duration of this pregnancy. Jack looked up and Kate saw the shocked look. Then she watched as his face went from shock to pure happiness. He closed the distance between them and picked her up in a gleeful excited hug. Kate wrapped her arms around him as she felt him squeeze her tighter.
"I know conditions suck here Kate but we're going to make it work I promise. I can't believe it you're pregnant" he said with a joyous laugh. He set her on her feet and pressed his lips across hers in a deep kiss. Kate got lost in the sensation as he explored her mouth with his tongue. When they broke away to breathe Jack spoke. "I love you so much" and kissed her sweetly on the lips.
"I love you too" she said. With that Kate completely relaxed and all her anxiety went away for a few minutes. Jack managed to make everything ok and her desire to kill him was long gone. Now all she wanted to do was kiss him, so she did just that.
Across the way Claire and Shannon oohed and awed.
"Aww he's daddy and doctor" Shannon said and the girls sighed dreamily as they watched Jack and Kate kiss passionately.
Sawyer watched also very confused how the entire way over Kate was going to kill Jack, she gets in front of him and they start making out like crazy. How does the Doc do it?
Then Shannon, Claire and Sawyer all had the same thought, hey when did those two get together in the first place?
Ok I know it was cheesy and short but hey its an update right so please be sure to review.
