Jack stumbled around the hospital the next day. Today was the day she was leaving, he tried not to think about but the harder he tried the more she was on his mind. As his mind travelled a million miles a hour, he began to think about faith, about science, about how being a doctor made him believe that he'd been a man of science, that in order to believe in something, he would have to see it with his own eyes. But than what about love? You can't always see it; he knew that, if it were possible to see love in every way Kate wouldn't be leaving. What about gravity? Just because we can't see these things through the human eyes doesn't mean they aren't real.

Comparing the two in his head for a second he thought about how people often get confused when asked to describe either one of these things, how could you possibly give an explanation on how it feels to love someone, and gravity, you can't see it but you know it there, it's keeping the stars from falling out of the sky, the more he went over it in his head, the more he began to think that, gravity was the only thing he could come up with to compare to the way he feels about Kate.

The way he felt about her was indescribable, you couldn't see it, and you couldn't touch it, but you knew it was there, and it would keep pulling him in to where he was meant to be, and he guessed that's where faith came in, to let him know that with Kate was where he was meant to be. Their love was a lot like gravity, he decided.

While this battle was going on inside him, on the outside he was walking to the next door, to check on another patient, when he heard his name being called, turning around to see it was his dad calling it

"Hey, Dad, What's up?" He asked

"I think you should take the day off Jack" He said "Go home"

The young doctor simply shook his head "I'm fine, and I'm already here so, I'm not going home"

Putting a gentle hand on his sons shoulder "You may be here Jack, but you're not here"

Jack just looked down at the floor, running a hand over his head in frustration; Christian took the chance to ask his son about the real issue at hand "You haven't talked to Kate?" He asked knowing the answer from his broken looking son at the moment

Shaking his head "I had her dad" He said taking a breath "The perfect women, beautiful, smart, she understood me, she loved my little boy and he was crazy about her, she loved me, I had her"

Looking at his dad in the eyes with nothing but hurt and sadness in his "And I lost her" he finished

"You didn't lose her son, she's just down the street and to your left, if you love this girl, than go get her" His father said honestly just wanting what was best for his son

Shaking his head "Nah, it's too late for that"

Stopping him from walking away with a hand on his chest, looking into those brown sad eyes "Why?....why is it too late?"

"You wouldn't understand Dad" He shot back removing his father's hand from his chest and started walking away

"You don't think I understand this?" He yelled causing the young doctor to stop but not turn around to face him

"You don't think I understand what it's like to have someone you love more than anything, and knowing that don't think you care, messing up so bad that you don't know how to tell them you love them" He continued and Jack turned around, a sharp pain in his stomach when he realized that they were talking about his relationship with his father now.

"I understand that Jack" he finished tears forming in the older man's eyes

Walking over to his dad, understanding what he was trying to say, he wrapped his arms around him in a tight long overdue hug "I know you do, I love you dad" Feeling his dad pat him on the back "I love you too Jack, and I want you to be happy, and if it's Kate that makes you happy, don't let her go"

Pulling out of the hug, Jack cleared his throat "Well maybe I will go home, you can get someone to cover for me?" He asked

His father nodded "Don't worry about, go figure things out"

With one last nod, Jack got in his car and made his way home. Looking at the clock on the car radio he saw that he would be home just in time to pick up Aaron off the bus. Parking the car and running upstairs to change, he quickly made his way down the street to the bus stop.

He waited for a few minutes before he saw the bus pull around the corner, and stop where he was standing, a few kids got off before he saw Aaron walk down the stairs with his head down, dragging his backpack on the ground behind him

"Hey Buddy, why don't I carry that for you" He said grabbing the little boys backpack and swinging it over his shoulder

They walked home, Aaron walking a few steps ahead of Jack, and not responding to his questions about his day, he just shrugged his shoulders, the little boy never making eye contact with his dad.

When they got inside, Jack shut the door "Okay Aaron, you haven't said a word since I picked you up" He said "What's wrong?"

"Nothing" the little guy said and headed to the stairs

"Aaron, come on Buddy, talk to me" Jack said grabbing him and sitting him on the step while kneeling in front of his son

"It's your fault that Miss Kate is leaving right?" He finally said

Jack looked a little taken back "What?"

"She said today was her last day, and we were going to have a new teacher" Aaron told his father

"Daddy, did you know she was leaving?" He asked innocently

Jack could only nod and Aaron's eyes started to fill with tears "Why, what did you do Daddy?" He asked his voice almost yelling

"Aaron I didn't…..its grown-up stuff okay" He tried

"It is your fault" He yelled

Jack started to shake his head, but he didn't want to start lying to his son now, so instead he nodded slowly "Yeah, it is"

Aaron looked at his dad with wide eyes, tears spilling out of them now, as he walked up the stairs he made sure to stomp on every step, Jack watched him stomp up the stairs, tears in his own eyes now "Aaron, wait" He tried

The sad little boy turned around "I liked Kate Daddy, she was my friend" He said puffing out his little chest "And you made her leave, I hate you, I hate you, I wish you were never my daddy" He said and he slammed his bedroom door shut, throwing himself on his bed, face buried in the pillow and cried

Jack stood at the bottom of the stairs, tears falling down his cheeks, the words his little boy just said to him ringing in his ears I hate you I hate you over and over again, walking over to the couch putting his head in his hands, "I hate me too" He mumbled before letting himself break down and feel everything that was happening around him.


They say you don't recognize the significant moments in your life, until they have already passed and gone, well Jack didn't know when he fell in love with Kate Austen but he knew he did and that was enough for him to call his mom to come over and watch his tear stained sleeping little boy while he jump in his car and drove as fast as he could to the airport.

He parked in the first spot he could find and ran into the airport, checking his watch he knew that Kate's flight was going to be boarding any minute if they hadn't already. Running over to the front desk

"Can you tell me when the flight 815 is boarding" He asked once he arrived there

"Sir, there are people ahead of you" She told him motioning to the people waiting in line

Jack ran a hand over his chopped hair "Please, its important" He pleaded

The women seeing the desperate look his brown eyes held, nodded her head "Right now" She said

Before she lifted her head from looking at the computer he was gone, running through the airport, looking at every sign, trying to find a sign that said something to give him some direction. Stopping where he was standing looking around knowing he was completely lost and didn't have much time, he turned around running his hand through his hair again.

Suddenly he stopped, looking to his left his eyes locked on a beautiful brunette, looking closer he could see that it was her, it was Kate. She was standing at the terminal handing the guy her ticket.

"KATE!" He yelled, and started running towards her, when she didn't turn around he tried again "KATE!" He yelled as he got closer

She turned around slowly, as soon as she did her eyes meet those beautiful brown ones she knew so well, she wanted to say something, do something, but she couldn't move, couldn't find words, her throat was dry and her mind was blank, and from looking at Jack he seemed to be feeling it too.

After a few seconds past which seemed like eternity she finally spoke "Jack, what are you doing here?"

Jack drew in a sharp breath "I really need to talk to you"

Kate turned back around half way "Jack, I can't do this again"

"Umm Miss, if you're getting on, you better do it now" The man at the gate interrupted them

Jack looked at Kate than back at the guy "Can you just give us a minute" sending him a glare that made the guy back off and keep the door open

"Okay Jack you got about five minutes before they take off without me" Kate told him sternly

He walked over, cupping her face in his hands, and in a fast soft movement placed his lips over hers, kissing her forcefully at first, he felt her body mold into his and slowed down the kiss, keeping his hands on her face as hers slid up his chest, resting there. He let his thumb gently run across her cheek caressing it softly, as his tongue ran across her lips, it didn't take long for her mouth to open deepening the kiss, they slowly pulled away, keeping their foreheads touching, Jack kept his hands on her face still rubbing his thumb over her cheek, her hands rested flatly on his chest.

"I'm not ready to lose you Kate" He said his voice still raw from the kiss

Kate let a small smile play on her lips, as she pressed herself closer to him "I'm not ready to be lost" She whispered

Kate pulled out of their embrace, looking at him "But Jack, I need you to let me in"

Jack pulled her closer to him, missing the warmth of her body against his "I know"

"Because Jack you never let me all the way in" She cried, a tear falling down her cheek

"I know, I'm so sorry Kate" He said "I guess I was just scared of being venerable, letting you completely in means tearing down these walls and being open to the possibility of getting hurt again"

"Jack, I would never hurt you" She said bringing her hands up to his the back of his head, and bringing him forward to gently kiss his lips

"I know, I also know I can't live my life without you, I don't want to, you changed my life Kate, you made me better, I can't do this without you, I need you" He stopped "And I am completely in love with you"

Pulling back slightly "Jack, are you sure you're not just saying this to make me stay"

Shaking his head against hers "Kate I'm saying it because it's true" He said "I've been falling for a while now and I was too stupid to admit it before, I love you so much Kate Austen"

Kissing him again, the guy behind them cleared his throat, when they didn't pull away from each other "Guess she's not going anywhere" He mumbled and shut the door

Jack pulled back "Wait I have something to ask you"

Kate laughed raising her eyebrows "What like I love you wasn't enough" She joked

Jack chuckled and pulled something out of his jacket pocket; it was small enough to fit in his hand

"Jack, what's that?" She asked and he opened his hand, showing her a plastic yellow ring with an elephant on it

"Are you trying to ask me something here Jack?" She asked with a nervous little laugh

"It's a promise ring" He said then laughed tilting his head "Or it's meant to be"

Kate laughed "When did you get this?" Jack smiled "I got it that day at the zoo, Kate I should have told you I loved you than"

Kate smiled wrapping her arms around his neck "So, are you going to tell me what you promise"

"I promise to let you in, and to always make sure you know how much I care about you, that I love you, and that someday, I'm going to ask you to spend the rest of your life with me" He said sweetly

Kate leaned up and kissed him as he gently put the plastic ring on her finger, they kissed again, lifting her up in his arms, and spinning her around, they kept kissing in the middle of the airport.

To anyone who was walking by they simply looked like two people in love. That's exactly what they were.
