Chapter 11: The Funeral.

Kate stood by the coffin in a black dress. She looked up and saw Jack standing by the coffin looking into, his dads eyes closed. A few leaves fell off the trees and landed around them, none landing in the coffin, as if it was a sign of respect. Jacks mom stepped forward. She sniffled and pulled out a piece of paper.

"Christen was a good man, and I loved him, he loved our son Jack." She sobbed and looked up she blew a kiss at Jack with her black gloves. Jack nodded. "He may have been cold at time but truly he was a great man and it should not have been him to go. It should have been someone else. I cherished our marriage so much, and wondered what I ever did to have such an amazing man in my life, and now he is gone and he will always be loved and missed greatly by me and Jack." She moved towards her husband and lent down and kissed his forehead gently. "I love you Christian Shephard." She whispered although no one heard it. "Jack, would you like to say a few words?" She asked. Jack shook his head. "Are you sure? Your father would have wanted you to." She said and Kate felt a sudden hatred for Margo. He had said no! She thought furiously to herself. Don't make him feel guilty. She was going to ask if she could say something but it was to late, Jack had reguntlently agreed.

He cleared his throat loudly and started at his dad. "Its kind of weird having someone torn out of your life, especially someone you've known your whole life," He glanced up at Kate, she had tears glistening in her eyes. "Like your dad. Um, I don't really know what to say, mom you sort of took the words out of my mouth." He chuckled slightly. "I know that my dad and I had our issues but I was never the one to apologies, I didn't cherish him as a father, and I guess I always thought he'd be around forever. I was wrong." He paused. "I'll miss you, dad." Jack lent forward and kissed his fathers cheek and a few tears trailed down his cheeks, he turned around and him and his mother embraced tightly. The persist closed the funeral and people began to file out.

Kate saw Jack standing by the new grave of his father. Kate came up behind him and ran a hand along him shoulder, Jack turned and crumpled into her arms. Kate rapped her arms around him and Kate, for the first time since his Jacks dad left them, began to cry. She cried for Jack, seeing him like this and for his lose, she cried for her own lose as well and for the overwhelming feeling of having Jack back in her life. "Kate." Jack whispered. But Kate placed a finger on his lips. No words needed to be said.
