Chapter 5: Midnight Fright!

Jack got up and approached Kate and Sawyer. Kate grinned when she saw him and waved slightly since she had both hands on the baby. As Jack got closer he saw that Kate had May and Sawyer had Olivia. 'Hey, there.' He said to Kate and rubbed Mays head lovingly. "How are you, Kate?" He asked her.

'I'm fine, how are you?' Kate replied.

'I'm good.' He said.

'Well, I am to Doc.' Sawyer muttered, moving his head around in an arrogant matter. Jack choose to ignore him.

'How are the twins?' He asked, straining his neck to see May. Kate turned her back to him so Jack could clearly May's face.

'They just dandy, Jackass, now how about you leave us alone?' Sawyer snapped.

'I'm only going to ask you once not to swear in front of my kids.' Kate said immediately. Jack smiled at her defenses for the little babies. Sawyer nodded and Kate smiled at him. Jack felt the need to get her attention back to him.

'Are they having any trouble sleeping or do they get cold? Hungry?' He asked. Kate shook her head.

'They share a crib so they stay pretty warm.' She told him smiling. Jack nodded understandingly. 'Anyways, they are pretty tired so I better get them to bed.' She turned to Sawyer. 'Coming?' Sawyer nodded and smirked, Kate walked on, and Sawyer followed but stopped in front of Jack, nodded and smirked. Jack scowled at Sawyer and tried to make his face confused but thought that maybe he looked more like he had smelt something fowl.

Kate was lying in bed when she heard rustling. She looked up could faintly see a man moving outside her tent, disappearing into the trees. She glanced at the babies; both still sleeping peacefully, the man was still there.

'Jack?' Kate whispered. No reply and Kate's heart began to pick up speed. She tried to calm in down a bit more. 'Sawyer? Sawyer, is that you? This isn't funny!' She told the man. Still no response. 'Charlie?' She asked as the figure came closer. 'Charlie, stop it, stop it, you're scaring me.' She told him again. She could make out the figure lift up a knife from out side. Kate screamed.

She heard voices yelling, as the man darted back into the jungle, leaving the knife behind, stuck into the tarp. Kate was frozen in spot. She heard Sawyer coming charging in, only in his boxers, holding a broken beer bottle. Charlie, Claire, and few others were looking at her.

Then she heard Jack yelling, he came in, also, only wearing his boxers. He was holding a knife. He saw her and dropped it, bringing her into his arms, once Kate was against his chest she began to sob.

'Jack-Jack, I didn't know. I did-didn't know, Jack.' She tried to pull away and regain her composure, but Jack pulled her back against him, stroking her head slightly, whispering to her and rocking her gently. She heard Shannon whispering and then looked up and saw Shannon holding one crying baby and Claire the other, while, Sayid and Locke were bent over the hole in her tent. 'Oh, I should, I should…' She went over and tried to take both of the screaming babies but Sun came over and calmed her down directing her back to Jack, who again took her in his arms. Calming her.

Kate woke up in the caves, rapped in Jacks arms, he was asleep. Kate sighed and saw Claire and Sun playing with all three of the babies. Kate sat up and smiled at them. They both looked up and grinned then waved happily. Kate waved back and looked around some more and saw the knife laying next to them, it had blood on the blade and she turned to Jack, he had blood splattered across his hand.
