AN: Still not 100% but I really want to thank you all for the enthused reviews. I am finding myself more inclined to write drabbles about little scenes that are not necessarily part of the episode's A Plot. So even though this is the quintessential Jack episode. He won't be featured here LOL
Enjoy!
White Rabbit
The young blond woman by her side talks endlessly about hairbrushes and star signs and astrology as they go through the luggage, separating the practical from the impractical, and Kate cannot help admire her cheerful spirit. Of all of them, she probably had it worst. Oh, and, and I'm pregnant. She'd joked just a moment ago and Kate's eyes had taken a quick glance downward. Oh yes, VERY pregnant, she thought to herself. She looked at her, smiling, despite the injuries on her face and the child she was carrying. She couldn't be older than twenty one, twenty two maximum. Pregnant, alone. Kate suddenly felt the lucky one among the two, despite being the jail-bound one of the two. She could never imagine being in her place. She did not envy her, but she suddenly felt the urge to protect her (and her soon to be born child), no matter what it took.
