Jack saw Kate moving in the bedroom out of the corner of his eye and his last thought was that he hoped she would have enough sense to keep her presence unknown to Henry before he heard a gunshot and braced himself to feel the pain of death.

Jack closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable pain to strike but it never did. After several seconds of pain free silence Jack opened his eyes, immediately terrified that Henry had noticed Kate and shot her. But as Jack opened his eyes, it wasn't Kate's body lying on the floor surrounded by a pool of blood but instead it was Henry's. Jack looked over to see Kate standing just outside the bedroom, gun still raised with a dazed look on her face.

It took both Jack and Kate several moments to realize what had just happened. Kate had shot Henry. Jack quickly moved over to where Henry lay and grabbed the gun that had fallen to the ground by Henry's head, the gun he had been planning to shot Jack with. Jack knelt to feel for a pulse and was not particularly grieved when he failed to find one. Kate had killed Henry with one shot to the head.

Jack looked up and realized that Kate, being unable to see what was going on, was beginning to panic.

"Jack! Jack, are you there? Please be there, please be ok, what happened? JACK!"

Jack immediately jumped up and walked over to her.

"Kate, it's me, I'm here. You can put the gun down now, everything is ok."

"Jack, you're alive?" Kate whispered in a frightened voice

"I am Kate, I'm alive, thanks to you!" Jack said as he gently took the gun out of her hand put it into his pants. He then moved and took Kate's shaking form into his arms.

"You shot him Kate, just before he had a chance to shot me. You saved my life."

"I did?" Kate asked in a voice that reminded Jack of a little girl looking for approval from her father.

"Yeah Kate, you did. Thank you."

"Jack, I heard more gunshots, what happened?" Kate asked, suddenly remembering that something more had happened.

"I came out here and found Ana Lucia dead on the couch and Michael pointing a gun at Libby. He shot and killed her before I could react. Then he demanded that I let Henry out of the armory so I opened it up. Henry stepped out, took the gun from Michael and shot him before turning the gun on me. He was just about to pull the trigger when you showed up."

"Wow…Libby, Ana Lucia, and Michael are all dead? Why would Michael do that? I don't understand!" Kate gasped

"I think Henry convinced him that his people had Walt. If Michael helped Henry escape, Henry promised to reunite him with Walt. I think that Walt is dead too. I think that is what he meant about reuniting them."

"This is all so messed up Jack."

Just as Jack was about to respond the door burst open and Sawyer and Sayid walked into the Hatch.

"What the hell happened here?" Sawyer shouted while drawing his gun.

"Jack? Kate? What is going on?" Sayid questioned

Jack began recounting the story to them as he moved over to Libby to make certain she no longer had a pulse.

"You mean to tell me Mike shot Wonder Woman and Dr. Phil and then the nut job shot Mike and Freckles shot the nut job?"

"Yeah, that about sums it up," Jack replied, moving away from Libby's dead body.

"Did Henry give any valuable information regarding his people before he was shot?" Sayid asked in a tone that indicated he was not too pleased that Henry had been killed before he could get the answers he wanted.

"He was going to kill me Sayid. He orchestrated the deaths of three of us and then turned the gun on me and Kate shot him seconds before he was able to shot me. We got all of the information out of him that we ever could have gotten. Let it go." Jack immediately jumped to defend Kate's actions; not at all willing to let her should any guilt over what had just happened.

"You're right Jack, I'm sorry, there was no other course of action to be taken." Sayid acquiesced

Jack nodded at him and was just about to respond when he heard Kate, who hadn't moved from the spot she stood when she shot Henry, call out to him.

"Jack!" Kate cried with a hint of panic in her voice.

"Kate?" Jack asked, turning around quickly and seeing Kate swaying as if she was about to fall.

"Jack, I don't feel so well." Kate stated just as she began to fall.

Jack immediately jumped up and ran over to her just in time to keep her from smacking her head on the ground as she fell.

"Kate, Kate talk to me, what's wrong?" Jack asked frantically, flashing back to the previous times he had seen Kate fall to the ground.

Jack scooped her up in his arms and moved toward the bedroom with her, leaving Sayid and Sawyer with the bodies and questions in the main room.

"Jack," Kate mumbled groggily

"I'm here Kate, tell me what's going on, please!" Jack begged.

"My head hurts…I'm so tired…" Kate slurred

Jack placed her on the bed and moved his hand to her forehead, feeling it once again burning with fever. Jack was kicking himself for briefly forgetting about her delicate condition. He had been so focused first on her blindness and then on the disaster with Henry that he had forgotten how sick Kate had been just a day earlier. He had seen her making major steps towards recovery but as a doctor he should have been constantly aware of how easily she could slip back. Even if a set back at this point wasn't nearly as dangerous as the initial sickness, it was still something she did not need.

"Don't worry Kate, everything is going to be ok, you just need to rest. Everything was just too much for you right now. Here, take these pills." Jack said as he handed her two pills to help with the pain in her head and reduce her fever.

Kate struggled to stay awake long enough to take the pills, even with Jack's help. Once she had taken the medicine, she fell back against the pillows and immediately fell asleep.

As she slept, Jack placed cool clothes on her face and neck, hoping to help bring her fever back down. He took her hand and once again spoke to her sleeping form.

"Kate, you amaze me. You saved my life today and for that I will be forever grateful. But the courage you displayed in doing so made me fall in love with you even more. I love you more now than I did 3 hours ago and I didn't think that was possible. You are blind and yet you walked into a gun fight and saved me. You walked into a gun fight and won. You were worried about being not being useful and it turns out that you are more useful now than you've ever been. I can't wait to tell you this when you are awake. I can't wait to tell you how wonderful you are and how much I love you. I also can't wait to ask you how the hell you managed to shot Henry right between the eyes when you couldn't even see him!" Jack said with a slight laugh. Jack climbed into bed with Kate and fell asleep holding her close, still rattled from the events of earlier but too concerned with Kate to leave to help the others deal with it all. As long as Kate was okay, nothing else mattered.

A/N: I have wanted to have that happen with "Henry" ever since I first watched season 2!
