Chapter 7: Missing

Jack was sitting on the beach, the sun just setting when Ana came up next to him. 'Hey.' She said, she pulled her pants up a bit before sitting down. Jack noticed this was very masculine of her. Jack nodded back to her, he offered her the fruit in his hand, and he was going to watch the sun set while eating some fruit with Kate and the babies but they had been tried so Jack told her she could go if she wanted, he had noticed Kate was very tired also. Watching sun down with Ana wouldn't be too bad. 'I see you have a fan club.' She said. Jack turned to her, confused. 'When I came here, Kate, her babies, both girls and Claire, fan girls.'

'There not fan girls, Ana.' Jack said laughing. Ana grinned also and then turned back to the setting sun.

'Well, anyways, how well…do you know…Kate?' She asked. Jack thought of this as an odd question. He turned to Ana but her face was blank, her lips were straight and her eyes squinting from the light of sun. Jack chose to trust her.

'Well, she can be a bit of a mystery sometimes but, I think I know her more then anyone else here.' He said nodding. Ana smirked.

'I might know her better. Are you the father of the babies, Jack?' She asked.

'No.' He didn't know why he answered that.

'Do you know who is?' She turned to him, looking suspicious.

'No.' Why was answering her questions? Ana nodded and her smirk widened. 'What's going on?' Jack ordered. He got up, his guard on. Not for him, for Kate.

'I know who got her pregnant.' Ana said simply. She pushed herself off the sand and looked at him. She looked sweet, but tough at the same time and Jack found it oddly attractive.

'Oh?'

'Want to know?'

'No. That's for Kate to tell me.' He said firmly, he was about to leave when Ana spoke up.

'I was a cop.' Ana said simply. 'I wasn't one in Australia, but when I was there, my friend, she went a bar and got smashed, a man moved in on her and I stood up for her. Then, Kate, our pretty little stripper was giving him a lap dance, I mean, she looked pretty pissed to be there, but she was rubbing herself against him…anyways…the man offered to take things to the back room I guess because he slipped a hundred dollar bill in her pants, they left, Jack. It was with someone she didn't even know, and know she's trying to win you over. She's going to use you.'

'I know what happened at that bar!' Jack said, standing in place, his back to her. 'But she is not trying to use me, know drop the subject!' Jack barked, although the thought of Kate giving a man a lap dance was making him angry he chose to remember Kate as how she really was and ignored Ana.

'What?' Jack turned around fiercely. He glared at her. Ana had her hand on her hips. 'Jack!' She said angrily. 'How can you trust her?' She asked, clearly annoyed.

'Because, she is a good person! She's proven to be one!' Jack said pointing a finger at Ana. Ana smirked, her anger falling. She leaned back and crossed her arms in front of her.

'Kate's a criminal.'

'I know.' Jack said.

'Kate's a criminal, Jack!' Ana said as if Jack hadn't heard her the first time. Jack moved closer.

'I know that! Stop trying to turn me away from her!'

'I know what she did!' Ana declared. Jack stopped. 'And I can tell you, Jack, and what she did will make you drop this little fatherly act you've been putting on, because I can tell you right here and now, she's using you.'

'Shut up.' He said. Ana looked surprised. 'You don't know Kate.' And with that he left, ignoring Ana's calls to him and left up the beach to the caves where he fell into a deep slumber.

'Kate?' It was Shannon. Kate looked up. 'Can I talk to you?' Kate nodded and stepped from her tent into the blinding sun. 'Its really important.' She said. Kate stood up straighter and nodded. 'Last night, well, me and Sayid, we…well…' She looked at Kate and grinned. Kate smiled. 'It was great. But, he went out afterwards…he went to go get us a snack, I over heard Ana and Jack…they were talking, Ana kept saying that Jack couldn't trust you and stuff, but he didn't believe Ana, and said you were a good person.'

Kate grinned happily.

'But Ana said she knows what you did…when you like…did…your crime.' Shannon looked at the ground.

'Did she tell Jack?' Kate asked, her eyes wide, fear in her voice.

'Jack wouldn't let her.' Shannon said. Kate nodded and relaxed a little.

'Good.'

'But, Ana might, sort of, pose a threat don't you think?' She asked. 'To you and the babies?' She added.

'No, Jack wouldn't let that happen.' Kate said firmly. Shannon looked taken aback, shrugged and left. Kate watched her leave then heard one of the babies crying from inside her tent. She went in and saw May making a fuss. Kate picked her up. 'Shh, May baby, I'm here, its ok.' She looked into the cradle expecting to see Olivia but didn't. Kate paused. 'Olivia?' She asked. She span around. Olivia was not in her tent. 'Olivia?' She realized what had happened. 'JACK!' Kate screamed unable to move. 'Jack! Someone took Olivia!'

Do they get Olivia back? How? MAJOR JATE FLUFFYNESS!
