Chapter 12: Planning.
"Burr!" Claire said rubbing her arms up and down as they all entered Kate and Charlie's house. Sayid was caring Aaron in a large coat he had. Jack plopped down on the couch and rubbed his head, his face tear stained. Kate sat down next to him and pulled him down so that he was leaning on her; she tossed a blanket over them and nuzzled her hair into his soft, brown hair. "It's real cold out there!" She laughed. Kate glanced up at Claire. "So, I think we need to start planning Aarons birthday. He's turning one." Kate smiled and nodded as Charlie, Shannon and Sayid came in and sat down, Sayid played with Aaron so Claire could right down ideas.
"She's right, baby." Kate whispered in Jacks ear placing a gentle kiss on it, Jack nodded and was about to sit up and Kate pulled him back down and rested her forehead on his head.
Soon they had many ideas written out, it seemed, really, that it was more of party for the adults, an excuse to drink fancy wine and eat cake.
…
Kate was walking to the store up her street, she tired and hungry because Charlie had forgotten to get food that evening. Kate walked into the store, she quickly walked up and down the isles picked up the food she needed, scowling when she went past the meat sections and shivering in the dairy. She was walking out of the store when she heard a dog parking at her from a window. Kate looked at and it stretched and pressed its paws against the window, wagging its tail at her. It was a baby Dalmatian, living in a pound. Kate sighed and waved at it, it tossed its head back and howled. Kate rolled her eyes and walked into the store.
…
Kate came home and put the boy puppy on the ground it raced around the tiny home and greeted Charlie happily.
"What…" Charlie said.
"He's so cute, Charlie."
"Flee bearing animal if you ask me."
"You are the flee bearing animal you, beast." Kate responded fiercely.
"Feisty young thing aren't you?"
"You know it."
"His name is…Jim."
"Jim?" Charlie asked unbelievingly.
"Jim."
"Holy shit." Charlie mumbled.
"What?"
"Nothing, nothing…"
