Chapter 11

Jack had been scouting the parameter of the island for quite some time. In the last 3 weeks they had discovered 3 of the hatches on Danielles map. All of them vacated. He and Sayid took with them what they could. They sent Hurley back with Locke, Jin, and Charlie to camp, to make sure everyone back home was safe. He and Sayid had covered a lot of ground, but still felt there was something missing.

Jack wasnt surprised when Sawyer suggested to go in after Kate. Something that he thought was just a game, just another notch on Sawyers belt, proved to be false when he saw the lengths the man would go to get her back. This coming from the guy who wouldnt lift a finger to help with practically anything back at camp. Jack concluded that it had to be love. He should have been jealous, or angry, he wasnt used to losing, but he couldnt help but admire what they had, and hoped someday that he would have something like that too. It was too much to ever want for himself, but he figured all he had left was hope now.

It was getting dark; the sun had almost set, when Jack decided to call it a day. Once the sun went down it wasnt any use to track. He went to go find Sayid who was covering the ground to the east of the parameter when THUD....

Someone crashed into him.

It took Jack a minute to register who this was. It all happened in a kind of blur. But when he saw her face and then Sawyer come running up behind Jack felt a huge sense of relief wash over him. They were okay.

Jack had honestly wondered if they had lost both of them. He was worried but he wouldnt let it eat away at him. Jack could tell that Sayid felt the same way when he gave Sawyer a hearty handshake followed by a bear hug when Sawyer had left them a couple weeks ago. Jack had not been as cordial, trying to talk Sawyer out of it, but he soon realized that it was pointless. Looking at Sawyer and Kate now however, the only words that Jack could think of as they left his mouth were...

"What took you so long?"

Sawyer sighed and helped Kate up off the ground. Looking back at Jack tired and irritated...

"Gee I dont know doc...Maybe next time you go in there you can tell me how easy it was to bust out, ya know having guns aimed at your head, being clasped in shackles, and locked in a cage and all..."

Jack just rolled his eyes at Sawyers smart alec response. I guess some things never change, he thought. Looking at Kate he noticed she looked like she had seen a ghost, concerned, he asked her...

"Are you okay Kate? Did they do anything to hurt you?"

Sawyer stepped up and wrapped his arm around her. The expression on her face was broken and she started to breath in shallow intakes. Kate held him tightly and he knew she wasnt ready to relive what had happened yet. Stepping in Sawyer barked at Jack in her defense...

"Hey Stone Phillips...Maybe you oughtta give the 20 questions thing a rest for the night..."

Jack looked at him irritatedly. He was impossible, he really was. Noticing Sawyers torn up jeans and bloody leg he asked him...

"What happened to your knee?"

Kate looked down at his blood caked pants. There was a bandage there but it had been soaked through with blood. Kate gasped, not believing that she hadnt noticed that before. Sawyer just shook his head not caring about their reactions...

"Nothin...its just a scratch..."

Jack shook his head...

"Looks more serious then a scratch to me..."

He suddenly remembered he was on his way to meet up with Sayid looking around the area for any sign of the man. Jack added...

"Just as well, once I find Sayid and we make camp, Id like to take a look at it if you dont mind..."

Sawyer looked down at Kate and she looked back up at him nodding her head in affirmation. Sawyer replied...

"Suit yourself Doc...Whatever you get your kicks from..."Sawyer smirked.

Jack ignored him started to move on hoping they would find Sayid sooner rather then later, cause he needed a break from Sawyer already.

Once they met up with Sayid and made camp for the night, Jack took a look at Sawyers leg. Kate flinched when she saw the deep gash. Jack asked him again how he got it threatening that if he didnt tell him exactly how and where it happened, they could be looking at a serious infection...and Sawyer finally confessed that it was self inflicted. Telling them how he used his injury to get on the inside. Jack, Sayid, and Kate were all shocked and impressed by his strategy.

Kate especially, when she learned how determined he had been to get her out. She couldnt believe how far they had come. And now she was pregnant and carrying his child. She knew in the real world this little detail would have been very rocky for them. She knew Sawyer had a lot of issues, especially rooting from childhood, and he was apprehensive, so was she. But there was nothing that could prepare you really for being a parent. She still rolled over that word in her head--Parent. Kate vowed that no matter what, she wouldnt end up like her mom. And she wouldnt let Sawyer fall prey to his demons either. They were in no way out of the dark yet, but they were in this together and him being here with her was more comforting to Kate then Sawyer would ever know.

Jack finished up re-bandaging Sawyers knee and then Jack and Sayid began discussing their next area on the map. Sawyer took a brief look at it, but realized he didnt have much interest, especially when he saw Kate sitting off by herself on a log staring blindly into the fire. Sawyer walked up to her and sat down along side her. Kate noticed him approach and forced a smile for him as he looked over at her. She grabbed his hand and looked into the fire. Sawyer grew concerned thinking something was wrong and he asked...

"You okay Freckles?"

She pursed her lips and nodded, replying quietly...

"I will be..."

Sawyer put his arm around her and pulled her close stroking his hands through her hair. Kate closed her eyes trying to fight off the tears, her voice shaky...

"I almost lost you Sawyer!"

He didnt really think about how close he had come to losing his life. He didnt care. All he cared about was getting Kate out of there safely. He leaned into her a little more and kissed her forehead, whispering to her...

"You dont have to think about that anymore... (He rubbed his hands over her arms in order to keep her warm) Okay Freckles?"

Kate shook her head, looking fiercely determined as the fire danced in her eyes...

"I dont regret killing him. I dont!"

Her nostrils were flaring and Sawyer could see that she was still angry with Sam, which she had a right to be. He closed his eyes and spoke quietly...

"Baby, you dont have to..."

Kate shook her head, trying to contain her shaky voice...

"I dont know what I would have done if I lost you..."

Sawyer pulled her into his chest and she started to sob softly. She needed to let it all out. He knew that. He looked over and saw that Jack and Sayid were still looking over at the maps. Sayid was deep in concentration, but he saw Jack cast a glance over in their direction.

Jack was only half listening to Sayid. He was too busy thinking about what could have possibly happened with Sawyer and Kate this whole time. He saw Kate bury her head in Sawyers chest and he knew something awful must have happened. It wasnt like Kate to break down that often. Something got to her. They all did in a way when they were in captivity. But Kate seemed to be the one to take it the worst. He also was curious to find out what had happened. Jack knew Sawyer wouldnt let him bother Kate tonight, but first thing in the morning he had planned to try again. They needed to know what happened. It could help him and Sayid find the other hatches, perhaps even find a weakness or something they may have overlooked.

Figuring that they probably wouldnt get much more work done tonight Jack decided to head to bed. Sawyer and Kate saw Jack and Sayid turning down for the night and decided to follow suit. Grabbing one of the leftover blankets he found a spot next to Kate on the other side of the fire. He felt her nuzzle in next to him and they got comfortable for the evening. Sawyer kissed Kate softly on the mouth...

"Sweet dreams Freckles..." He whispered...

Sawyer smiled and closed his eyes. He had dreamed of this moment for the last 3 weeks. To hold her in his arms and then he put his hand on her stomach. Breathing in and out, thinking this is probably the first night in a long time that he would actually sleep well.

Kate felt that tingle when he touched her skin and she opened her eyes. His were still closed and she caressed his cheek. This caused him to open them and look at her. They saw into each others minds as the fire crackled and crisp night air brushed over their skin. Kate kissed him softly on the mouth and ran her hand up underneath his shirt, just needing to touch and be as close as possible to him. She pulled away briefly looking back into his eyes and without hesitation whispered...

"Make love to me Sawyer..."

Sawyer could see that her eyes were filled with need and he blinked once seeing as he opened his eyes again that her need for him matched his own for her. She started to unbutton his pants slowly. Sawyer all the sudden realized where they were...

"Wait..." He looked over trying to see if Jack and Sayid were still asleep but he couldnt see them from his angle...

Kate pulled his head to look at her and she blinked...

"Its just us. I promise...

She went in for another deep kiss, and Sawyer let the feeling overpower him, taking the kiss deeper. He was already starting to get hard and as her hands grazed inside his pants he couldnt help but let out a small groan. He felt her slide his pants down under the covers, her hands touching him in all kinds of sensitive places as he rose to attention. He scrambled to get his tee off. Once he was completely naked he helped Kate out of her clothes. Starting with her top. Pulling it up over her head. Exposing the two most perfect breasts he had ever seen. Sawyer couldnt help but latch onto one of the nipples with his mouth.

It sent a surge or erotic energy through Kates veins when his warm mouth set her sensitive peak on fire. She had already started to show signs of pregnancy. And her breasts had swelled just a bit. The most noticeable thing was her raised sensitivity however. And she could feel every touch, every stroke. When he moved to her other breast, grazing his teeth over her, she had to bite down in order to stifle her sobs of pleasure. Sawyer moved his hand inside her waist and inched it down further still to her warm heat. He was pleased to discover that she was already wet and waiting for him.

Kate played with her hands over his cock while he unzipped her. He was so hard and she wanted to feel him inside her so badly. Rubbing him up and down he growled and licked the tip of her breast again. Kate moaned out loud that time and they both looked over to see if they had been discovered. No sound, and Sawyer continued to assault her. Kate helped him by kicking off her pants frantically. She just had her underwear on and he reached down inside dipping his fingers into her wetness. Stroking and rubbing her a little more Kate finally yanked them off. She had had just about all the foreplay she could handle, needing to feel him move inside her, she moved under him and opened her legs, nudging his hardness in-between them, she grazed him once or twice.. Whispering to him...

"Please Sawyer...please fuck me..."

Sawyer was beyond the point of control now and when he heard her voice it sent all the electrodes ringing off in his mind. All he could think of was the heaven of feeling himself inside her. He dipped his tip down into the damp folds and she stifled a moan. Everything for Kate was amplified and on first contact, he hit her g spot with his huge thickness and it sent her over the edge. Sawyer could feel Kate shake below him and he waited for it to stop before he inched himself down lower. Kate wrapped her arms and legs around him and clenched him tight. She could feel another orgasm coming, but she held off as long as she could for him. He pulled all the way out and pushed in again. She sobbed when he pulled out, desperate for his contact again and again and again. Sawyer thrust into her finally picking up a rhythm with Kate. They moved together, the fire inside them burning higher then the one right next to them. Kate came a total of 3 times before Sawyer finally allowed his release. On her third wave of passion, she felt him pour himself into her hot and heavy. This time the seed he planted had taken root and it was growing inside her. And she felt more whole then she ever had in her entire life. Kate felt complete lying here naked with Sawyer buried inside her. Everything she had ever wanted she had right here at this moment. She was truly happy.

Sawyer looked into her eyes as he allowed his release to fill her. He felt their souls unite and knew what they had was bigger then anything he could have ever hoped for. All his failures and mistakes, suddenly seemed irrelevant when he was with Kate. And now that she was carrying his child, a part of him inside her, he felt more connected to her then ever, actually considering his future what his future would be like with her in these last few days. Sawyer kissed Kate and rolled over on his back so she was resting on his chest. He whispered breathlessly...

"I love you Kate..."

Kate smiled and kissed him back...And she fell back against him breathless, feeling an attachment to him in every space and crevice in her body. They fell asleep locked in each others arms. And woke up once or twice during the night to shower their love on one another again. When first light came, Kate was careful to wake Sawyer up and hand him his clothes. She saw that Sayid had already risen, and must have decided to go off for firewood, but Jack was still asleep. Sawyer wanted to stay asleep too, or their version of sleep, especially with Kate wriggling around next to him trying to get dressed. He whispered...

"C'mon Freckles...Think we got at least 20 more minutes till old Rip Van Winkle decides hes got more lives to save today..."

Sawyer ran his thumb over her breast caressing her, but Kate didnt think they should press their luck. She shoved her arms into her bra. And shook her head...

"When we get back home you can have all the 20 minutes you want...Deal Tex?"

Sawyer rolled his eyes and smirked at her. He saw that one of her bra cups wasnt pulled up all the way and he placed his tongue on her soft pink flesh, making it hard like the other one he had just caressed, and then he grazed his teeth over her and looked up lustfully, answering her...

"Deal Sassafras..."

Kates breathing had already picked up, and she could have very easily given into his heated stare (Jack be dammed,) but she noticed Jack was starting to stir and she kissed him quickly, before she pulled her top on, whispering frantically...

"Sawyer, get dressed!"

Sawyer looked over at Jack begrudgingly and threw his tee on. Kate handed him his pants and brushed her hand over him lightly. She met his gaze toying with him just like he did her earlier...

"And dont think I wont hold you till your part of the bargain Cowboy!"

Sawyer smiled at her, and pulled his pants up. Just as he zipped his zipper Jack opened his eyes. He hadnt been totally clueless to the events of the night, waking up once or twice to hear a stifled moan or grunt. He wasnt born yesterday.

Jack sat up and looked over at Kate and Sawyer. They had that afterglow look about them and his suspicions were confirmed. He asked snidely...

"So you two have a nice rest? (Kate was about to answer him when he continued...) I almost got up once or twice, thought the polar bears were back again...Did you happen to hear that grunting?"

Kates face was completely red realizing they had been caught, and Sawyer couldnt have been more smug about it...

"Well Doc...We did get some sleep, but it was a little hard with all your snorin...I mean ya think you might want to invest in one of those nasal breathe right strips...Bet you could make one outta bamboo even!"

Kate tried to suppress a giggle and she elbowed Sawyer slightly and Jack just rolled his eyes. Back to square one, he thought.

They were all interrupted suddenly, by Sayid and all shocked when they saw who he was bringing in with him. It was Danielle and he had her hands tied behind her back. Looking at Kate, he remarked...

"I believe we have finally found something useful...."

Jack walked up to Sayid concerned and confused.

"Sayid? What? Where did you find her?"

Sayid looked at Jack and then to Sawyer and Kate....

"She has been tracking these two since they escaped captivity yesterday....I believe Danielle can tell us what we want to know..."

Kate looked at Danielle confused and then it clicked for her. It was her.

Danielle killed Juliet.

Chapter 12

They all looked at Danielle, some with shock, some disbelief, others with anger. Sayid stood cautiously behind the woman. Kate grabbed Sawyers arm and Sawyer glared at Danielle with a burning fury, recalling the last time she was in his presence. Jack was the first to approach her. And Danielle met Jacks gaze with her chin up, looking at him defiantly. He demanded for her to look at him. She did, but there was a cool ghostly glaze there, Jack had a sudden panicking feeling like whatever they got out of her, they would be helpless to stop the course of events that were about to take place.

Jack bit down on her, not letting his fears overtake his mind, glaring at her like he had reached the end of his rope...

"What are you doing here Rousseau???"

Danielle just shook her head. And cast her gaze off to the side like a resistant teenager. Jack went up and grabbed her arm, shaking her suddenly...

"Answer me!" He demanded.

Sayid, who already had a hold on the rope from behind that, bound her wrists, pulled it tighter and crept up behind her...

"I suggest that you do what he says Rousseau...Our patience is wearing thin and we are in no mood to play games..."

Danielle looked up at Jack and spit at his feet. Jack was enraged and was this close to drawing his gun when Sayid stopped him, holding his hand out...

"There are more effective ways of getting answers out of the prisoner Jack..."

Jack looked back at Sayid, and he knew instantly what Sayid was suggesting. So did Sawyer and Kate. Nobody said anything, and Danielle met Sayid's gaze challengingly.

Sawyer knew what Sayid was offering to do, and it didnt surprise him. It didnt even anger him. Recalling the day when he was in Danielles place, he knew this situation was different. She was not punishing herself. She felt no guilt, no remorse. Danielle took Kate from him. She put another innocent, no scratch that, 2 innocent lives at risk, and he would never forgive her for that. Even though he couldnt put a bullet in Sam's head, he knew hed have no problem bestowing the same courtesy on Danielle.

Danielle was looking at Kate now curiously, and Kate felt a chill run down her spine. She met the womans cool gaze and gripped Sawyer tighter. Sawyer felt Kate's grip and then he noticed Danielle eyeing Kate like she was some prize. He threatened her...

"Wouldnt do that if I were you Frenchie! Last guy to touch a hair on her head never saw the light of day after I got through with him..."

Danielle smirked at Sawyer and he tensed up. Looking at Sayid he barked...

"There aint no point Mohammed...Shes the only one we got to worry about...Their leader is dead now...So just let Jack finish her!"

Sayid shook his head and gripped Danielle from behind more firmly, pulling out a knife from his belt band...

"I think Rousseau can be of use to us either way, but death is a merciful act that I am not willing to give her at the moment..."

He brought his knife up to her head and pulled her hair back angling the blade behind her left ear...

Kate, having a moment of weakness suddenly turned to Sawyer and buried her head in his chest. She felt small and childish for doing this, but she didnt want to watch it. They had been through so much already. Sawyer enveloped her in his arm, holding her tightly to him with his hand pressed against her head. He watched Danielle through hateful eyes

Sayid began to question Danielle...

"I plan on starting with your earlobes Rousseau, so you can hear every painful word, and then I will cut off each of your fingers, rendering your hands useless, then, I will cut off the tip of your nose, so you will be robbed of the sense of smell, followed by your eyes, so you can no longer see the sun rise. But I will leave your tongue...So you can scream and scream till you can not scream any longer...Because you see Rousseau...When you rob a man or woman of everything they hold dear in this world...then you have nothing left to live for...And I...I have nothing left to live for but causing you pain..."

Danielle suddenly looked very frightened, and as Sayid angled the knife pressing it against her ear, they could see the blood drip down the long cool silver blade, and Danielle finally surrendered...

"Stop!!!"

Jack stepped closer to her and looked at her questioningly....

"What did you say?"

Danielle shook her head frustrated...

"I said stop...I will tell you what you want to know!"

Jack nodded at Sayid and Sayid took the knife down. Asking her accusatorily...

"Why were you following Kate and Sawyer?"

Danielle inhaled deeply and then began...

"Sam Austen gave me orders to get her back and kill him..."

Kate looked up in a jolt of fear after hearing this alarming news. She was going to kill Sawyer? Jack charged in with more questions...

"Why do you want Kate?"

Danielle looked at Jack oddly and then towards Kate with a coolness...

"She should be able to tell you that part..."

Jack and Sayid both looked at Kate questioningly, Jack looked at Danielle and her gaze had not faltered...He couldnt help but wonder what Danielle was talking about... finally turning his attentions to Kate, he called her name for assistance...

"Kate?"

Kate looked up at Jack holding onto Sawyer for support, reluctant to speak at first, but then she looked up at Sawyer and back at Jack, finally exclaiming...

"Im pregnant Jack...Sawyer and I are pregnant..."

Words could not begin to describe the expression on Jacks face at the moment. All his jealousy and anger starting to boil under the surface...Here he was trying to break his back to save her, and here she was screwing Sawyer the whole time they were in there!

Kate continued despite Jacks apparent expressions of disapproval...

"They told me they wanted to keep me there till it was born...I can only assume they want the bab..."

Jack had had just about enough, cutting her off rudely...

"Just Shut Up!!!"

Kate looked back at Jack clearly hurt by his cutting words and Sawyer stepped in to defend her...

"Dont talk to her like that Jackass..."

Jack strode up to him shooting daggers at Sawyer with his eyes and shoved Sawyer in the chest with his finger...

"And You! (Shaking his head clearly agitated now...) Is that the whole reason you wanted to get in there so badly...Just to tap another willing piece of ass???"

Sawyer was getting angry now and stood up a little straighter, shoving Jack back a few paces with his hand...

"Dont shove me dickhead!"

Jack went in for another shove and Sawyer shoved him back harder, despite Sayids attempt to yell at them, he was prevented from moving because he still had to handle Danielle, neither man did a thing until Kate finally stepped in...

"STOP IT!!!"

She looked at Jack with contempt and back at Sawyer angrily...

"Both of you!"

Both men had a lot of built up rage, and Kate could see that if she didnt get them to snap out of it right now, things would get ugly. Looking back at Jack, she exclaimed...

"I love him...I love Sawyer..."

Sawyer stood up a little straighter in shock and looked across the space between him and Kate earnestly. He imagined this was the first time she said that to anyone but him, let alone in public, and to Jack. It definitely caught him off guard, and he was finally at a loss for words...

Jack was too.

Kate continued...

"So we need to stop fighting and start figuring out what to do...Cause Im not going back there to let them hurt my baby (looking back at Sawyer, correcting herself) Our baby..."

None of this had gone on as Danielle had expected. She was hoping to cause an argument between them by making it seem like the woman had something to hide, but Kate was stronger then she gave her credit for.

Deciding to go the plan B route, Danielle changed horses midstream, interrupting them she exclaimed...

"I can take you to their headquarters..."

Sayid finally piped in, his cutting words tearing into her...

"And how are we to be sure that you are not lying right now Rousseau? (Pulling on her binds that scraped her hands) HOW CAN WE EVER TRUST YOU AGAIN?"

Danielle finally broke down not able to deal with his anger towards her any longer...Laying it on thick. A tear coming to her eyes, emotionally she exclaimed...

"Because thats where they have been holding my daughter..."

Jack and Sayid looked at each other confused. Jack exclaimed...

"But we brought her out with us...We witnessed your reunion..."

Danielle shook her head sadly...

"They took her back...(sobbing now) They have been doing this to me all along...Ever since I gave birth to her, they have been holding her over my head...Needing favors here or tasks completed...She was never really mine...She barely remembered me this time (looking back angrily) She thinks Ben is her real parent..."

Sayid watched Danielle cautiously. What she was saying would explain the maps in her hideaway and the artifacts she had found. If she was some type of freelancer agent, then she would have those things.

He still wasnt sure if they could trust her, in fact, he was fairly certain he could not. But at least he understood her motive now. These people had been using Danielles child as a pawn to control her. Still questioning how they got Alex back away from her, but he thought that conversation would be best saved for a later time. Getting back to the subject at hand, Sayid took out the maps, Jack took a hold of Danielle for him and he unfolded them. Holding one in front of her he asked...

"Show me where we need to go!"

Danielle filled Sayid in on the route they would need to take and the protocols required for getting inside undetected. Sayid wasnt surprised when Danielle said she had to go along. He watched her reactions carefully in order to see if there was any hesitation here. She was a very difficult woman to read but he was certain that she was indeed somewhat afraid of these men. Which was a good thing. Freelancer or double agent, he could not yet decide. Jack insisted on holding a gun to Danielle at all times. It was clear that he did not trust her and she was treated much the way the others had treated Jack, Kate, and Sawyer as their prisoners. Her hands bound behind and escorted by armed guard. The only difference here was no hood.

As they walked on Sawyer turned to Kate and asked in a hushed tone...

"You think shes up to something?"

Kate looked back at him and nodded, pointing to her eyes and ears, Sawyer knew what she was communicating to him. Watch to see if they were being followed. This situation had an eerie familiarity to the last time they were all together going to meet the others and Michael deceived them. Sawyer didnt like it; he had an unsettling feeling wondering if history was bound to repeat itself. The sinking feeling in his gut kept him on edge. Taking hold of the gun Juliet had given him earlier Sawyer drew it out from his waistband ready to take out the next perpetrator who crossed their path.

Jack and Sayid had come up to a ravine and were discussing how to cross it, since it was fairly deep. Danielle made a suggestion and Jack just spat back at her, thinking it was absurd. Sayid trying to be the voice of reason was looking for a way to compromise when Sawyer saw the flash from the side. He immediately clicked off the safety on his gun; Kate heard him and touched his arm. Sawyer shook his head and exclaimed in a hushed tone...

"Get down Freckles!"

Kate looked at him questioningly and before she could register what he was looking at a shot went off. Jack and Sayid jumped and ducked down looking back at Sawyer. Then they all saw what he had shot at. His gun had missed the person, or so it seemed, but he hit a large branch and it fell down pinning the person who was following them underneath it.

Kate looked around to see if she could spot any more movement, but quickly determined that this was a solo sniper. Sawyer and Sayid rushed up the hill towards the assailant. Sawyer arrived first drawing his gun again. They couldnt see a face, it was covered in hair, but she was definitely a female, he didnt care. Anyone who he didnt know on this island was a potential danger, and a danger to Kate and that was enough reason for him to finish them off. Pressing the barrel of his gun up firmly against her head he watched her breathing in panicked huffs, asking...

"Got any last requests Mrs. Kravitz?"

Sayid was second to follow Sawyer, unsettled by the scene he was witnessing before him. He recognized her. Sawyer was pressing his gun up to her head. From his angle he could see the young scared girl squinting in fear beneath her long dark mane of brown hair...

"Sawyer wait!"

Sawyer looked back at Sayid questioningly, a little frustrated that Sayid was going to make him delve into this shit...It was so much easier when you didnt have to...He knew first hand how they liked to play mind games.

"What Omar?"

Sayid pulled the log up off her leg and shook his head...

"Do not shoot!"

Sawyer was clearly upset, he was getting tired of this cock and bull routine and he wanted to settle the score now, looking back at Sayid angrily he asked...

"And why wouldnt I want to do that?"

Sayid helped the young woman up and met Sawyers gaze, exclaiming...

"Because this is Danielles daughter, Alex!"

Chapter 13

Kate was laughing as she followed Sawyer veering right then left.

"Sawyer where are you going? Cause I can tell you this isnt where the fruit would be..."

Sawyer just looked back at her and grinned mischievously.

"Now if I told you that Freckles, it wouldnt be as much fun would it?"

His dimples deepened and he continued backtracking to the place they had passed a few hours earlier. Sawyer had told Jack and Sayid that they were going to find some food, and offered Kates assistance to go with him. Said if they were lucky they'd even find some fruit. Jack was reluctant to let them go off on their own, but Sawyer assured them that he was armed and they wouldnt be long. Knowing that he was lying about one of those things, he made a hasty and quick departure, pulling Kate along with him for the ride.

Sawyer snuck a peek back at Kate and she looked a little tired from all the walking. Feeling somewhat guilty all the sudden, not sure if he should put her through all this, wondering how much rest she should be getting now. After all, what he had in mind was definitely NOT going to get her any more rest. His conscience kicking in, Sawyer exclaimed...

"We're almost there...But maybe we should head back (he didnt want to make this about her, if he did she wouldnt buy it) It gonna be gettin dark soon..."

Kate smiled to herself and then she looked up at him. Knowing exactly what he was doing and she had a pretty good idea what he had planned to. She was actually looking forward to it. Things had been so tense today; she needed Sawyer to help her with that in more ways then one. Smiling coyly back at his worried face, she affirmed for him...

"Not a chance Tex! You think Im going to let you squander out of your side of the deal? (She knew they werent home yet and they couldnt oblige each other as carefree as they could at back at the beach, and with as much time, and added) Were going to need practice for that marathon..."

Sawyer smiled back at her closing the gap quickly between them and he kissed her. Looking back at her hazy eyes, he added...

"Im countin on that Darlin..."

They continued walking for about 5 more minutes. Kate was convinced Sawyer was totally lost, but to her surprised and delight; she finally saw what he was so anxious to show her. They both stood in amazement on the skirts of what only could be described as some sort of Garden of Eden. The foliage was so lush and velvety and there were hibiscus flowers everywhere. And orchids lacing an enchanted looking waterfall. It was one of the most beautiful things Kate had ever seen. Looking back at Sawyer with her mouth still slightly agape, she finally asked...

"How did you find this place?"

Sawyer didnt want to spoil the romantic moment by telling her he only stumbled across this place when he went to go take a leak on an earlier hike break. He just shook his head in response and smiled at her, exclaiming before his mouth claimed hers...

"Who cares!"

He surprised her with a deep kiss and Kate moaned into his mouth. She craved him and found over these past couple weeks that she didnt have the food cravings like other pregnant women claimed to have. She craved Sawyer. They moved a little further inside and when his hand reached up under her tank top, the wave of pleasure that came over her from his touch sent shivers through her body. Kate leaned back against him. His hand brushed her tender breast, and she realized how swollen and sensitive she was. Sawyer loved the feel of her soft skin under his rough calloused hands and when he reached her peaks, he found that they were already hard. Using his thumb and forefinger to massage them till they popped through her fabric, Sawyer bit down on it over her shirt sending her erotic sensors through the roof. Kate moaned out loud. He pulled at the bottom of her shirt and Kate frantically helped him get it off. He unhooked her bra too and she finally fell free. Sawyer wanted to plunge back in, but before he did, he turned her around and took in the vision standing before him.

She was glowing, and absolutely beautiful. The first time he had seen her naked from the waist up in daylight since she got pregnant and her body was already changing. He could tell. She was breathtaking before, but now, the swell of her breasts and the flesh around her hips and stomach was rounder. God, he wondered, if she knew how hot she was.

Kate looked back at him watching her and it made her want him more. Needing to feel his mouth latch onto her, she pulled him closer. Sawyer struggled to get his shirt off over his head, but when he finally did, he came back down and latched his mouth on to the other breast. Kate moaned again, feeling the sheer ecstasy of his tongue on her. Unzipping her pants, he reached down inside above her panties and started rubbing. He could tell she was already wet and that made him very hard. Kate edged closer to him kissing his lips and she could feel him press up against her...

"Sawyer," she whispered...

Her voice sent shock waves in his ear and his breathing got heavier. His hand still playing above her panty line and then he dipped one finger inside her slick heat.

Yeah baby? He replied huskily"

This was torture for Kate. He was setting off all her buttons, but The Button, and she craved him like a drug.

"Sawyer please..." She moaned begging, placing her hand above his zipper, she slid it down slowly and he sprung out of his pants in full glory. Kates eyes glazed over at his large size. It never ceased to amaze her when she saw him. His pants slid down without much effort on his part. She knew what was holding them up, and it wasnt a belt, smiling a little to herself. And then she met his gaze. Matching him, her eyes were filled with lust.

He came up and kissed her again, and the tension was so intense she practically cried out. His hands were on her waist again and they were moving south down under her panty line, cupping her firm ass. It was torture for Sawyer too. Kate was the first to break the foreplay placing her hands over his, she asked him frantically...

"Help me get them off..."

Sawyer stepped out of his pants and boots and in a split second was helping Kate tug down her pants and panties in one swooping movement. She quickly stepped out of them and then wrapped her leg around his hip. He grabbed her ass again, helping to pull her up next to him and she wrapped the other leg up too.

They kissed again and Sawyer got down on his knees, laying Kate down on a bed of rich green moss. It was so velvety and smooth and soft, just like her, he thought. Kate cradled him between her legs and he met her gaze. Neither of them could bear to be apart for one more minute and he lowered himself down into her wet hot molten core.

"Yesss!" She moaned.

It was like a combination of heaven and earth. And Sawyer groaned as Kate stretched to accommodate him. His long hard thick length going all the way in and she couldnt help but orgasm before he even began. Sawyer watched her glazed over eyes and their black dilated pupils met concentrating on each other. He pulled out and pushed in. Their bodies melting together, Kate wrapped her legs tighter around him. As they moved as one Sawyer couldnt stop thinking about the life they had created together. It terrified and excited him. Sawyer slowed down a little, concerned about not being too hard on her. But Kate shook her head frantically moving below him setting the pace faster, and whispered...

"Its okay Sawyer...Just let go!"

Sawyer took her signal and began thrusting faster, He imagined what it would be like when her body changed, and her breasts began to produce milk...

The mere thought almost made him cum right then and there; it was so erotic, so hot. He put his mouth on her erect tender nipple tasting the warm salty skin. Kate moaned out loud. His touch was sending intense waves of pleasure through her body, and she had to clench around him to prevent her own premature release. Sawyer finally grabbed her hand and lowered it down in-between them so she could feel his point of entry. His fingers laced into hers and she felt his cock moving in and out of her.

The act so sensual and erotic once Kate brushed her fingers over Sawyers long hard length, it launched the release of his long awaited outcome of seminal fluid, and he poured into her cooling off the heated core within. Once Sawyer stopped thrusting Kate started to quiver below him. Her long orgasm passing over in waves. Clinging together in the after flow.

Once they collapsed from exhaustion, Sawyer rolled over on his back while she lay on top of him and Kate replied breathless as her cheek rested against his chest...

"I love you Sawyer..."

She wrapped her arms around his neck and he pulled her up to him. Kissing her fully on the mouth, he whispered back...

"I love you too Freckles..."

Kate kissed him once more and then she propped herself up. Her legs straddled over him he was still inside her. And she started moving over him, exciting him. Her movements bringing his cock back to life and Kate lifted her pelvis slightly, once he was completely hard to her touch, and she impaled down on him. He grabbed her hips and thrust his cock into her, but Kate had most of the control, locking eyes with him, a gentle smile, and she knew she had him.

Sawyer watched her move over him like a fallen angel, thrusting herself over him. It excited and tortured him to not have more control. Looking down where they connected he could see her engorged entrance moving over him.

Kate felt the waves of pleasure as she contracted around him and arched her back, clenching her womanhood around him as tight as possible. Almost crying, letting out sobs of pleasure as her orgasm was taken to a higher level. Sawyer screamed silently in his mind "Oh Shit" from the intense pressure and hold she had on him. He was throbbing and aching for release. And finally he gave up the fight popping off again hard inside her.

They came at the same time and Kate let the flood take over her body and let out a small sigh of extreme sexual pleasure before she fell exhaustedly back against his chest. They were naked and balmy and there were some dirt smudges and grass stains on parts of their skin, but neither one cared, feeling a total and utter sense of completeness at that moment. Sawyer enveloped Kate in his arms and after a few moments of silence, once their hearts stopped beating so fast and they got their breathing back, Kate whispered softly...

"Thank you for bringing me here Sawyer...It was perfect!"

Sawyer looked down at her not sure what to say. He wasnt used to being thanked or complimented for anything, and Kate could sense his discomfort, attempting to change the subject...

"So...was that the kind of warm-up you had in mind Cowboy?"

Sawyer smirked at her new nickname for him, thankful that she changed the subject, he replied...

"Yeah Freckles...Think your the best training partner a guy could ever hope for..."

He looked over at her with a smirk, his dimples deepening.

Kate pressed her finger up into one of the dimples mockingly and replied nonchalantly...

"Well get used to it partner...Cause I plan on making you sweat..."

He arched his brow, replying mischievously...

"If I didnt know better Sassafras...I think you like talkin dirty..."

Kate ran her hands up under his arms and then caught him off guard by tickling him. Sawyer let out a laugh and they rolled over in a fit of giggles while touching each others sensitive spots. Kate squealed and was the first to surrender...

"Okay...Okay...(She let out another yelp as he hit the spot below her knee, laughing she tried to be serious for a minute...) Sawyer we should really get back to Jack...They've probably started a search party for us by now..."

Pretending to be mad, he asked in mock annoyance...

"How could you bring up Jack here? Talk about killin the moment!"

Kate looked back at him questioningly. She wasnt sure if he was being serious or not, and then Sawyer removed all doubt with his next words, smirking...

"Of course he might be able to take a few pointers from us, so maybe stayin here and havin them find us wouldnt be all that bad..."

Kate pushed his shoulder back...

"Your terrible! Do you know that?"

Sawyer smirked...

"Terrible with a capital T baby..."

Kate smiled and he put his hands around her waist kissing her again. He loved being alone with Kate in the moments after making love. Feeling when this was the time they could be most true with one another. The walls and defenses peeled away. Just like their clothing. Being naked was more then just an act of sexual convenience. They were naked together, mind, body, and soul.

Sawyer finally got dressed reluctantly after some more prodding from Kate and they found their way back to the camp.

Danielle and Alex had convinced Jack and Sayid to take an underground route back into their facilities. They wanted to do a nighttime ambush feeling that their chances were better at going undetected if they had nights dark cloak to hide them, while outside the facilities. Alex also agreed to accompany Danielle with them all back inside. They were going to lead them to Ben. He was the key to the entire operation. Alex knew Ben better then anyone and reported back to Jack that he had a tumor on his spine. It was rapidly growing and something that Jack could possibly use as a bargaining card to get everyone rescued. They were going over the maps again when Sawyer and Kate arrived.

When Jack saw Kate and Sawyer approach, he looked back at them suspiciously. Kate had that glow about her and Sawyer was smiling sheepishly at her. They couldnt keep their hands off each other, Sawyer helped her put a sweatshirt on because it was getting colder and Kate held onto his arm as she tried to balance while standing up after tying her boots. Jack saw all this and he knew that Sawyer had never intended to go pick fruit. His suspicions were confirmed when he saw that they had brought back nothing. Jack broke their playful banter and pawing, asking in a condescending tone...

"So you do bring us anything back to eat or did you just happen to get lost along the way?"

Sawyer narrowed his eyes glaring back at Jack. He figured Jack would give them a hard time. Sick and tired of the damn hero's hang himself up on a cross like reasoning, he threw it back in his face, replying sarcastically...

"Did you ever have a plan when Mike led us out here or did you just happen let us all get caught and tortured?"

Jack rolled his eyes at Sawyers snarky response and cast Kate a judgmental glare, clearly disappointed. He couldnt believe she had picked Sawyer, the man only thought about his own sexual urges. Jack thought Kate was better at making decisions then that. Clearly he was wrong. Angry that that had happened a lot lately (him being wrong) he sunk his fist in a little further exclaiming...

"Yeah, well that wont change the fact that we have nothing to eat now..."

Kate looked back at Sawyer guiltily. Sawyer sneered. He wasnt going to let Jack belittle her.

"Doesnt change the fact that youre a Jackass either..."

Kate looked back up at Sawyer frustrated. She knew he was trying to help, but sometimes he just made it worse. Resolving to not let them get back to fighting again, like before, she suddenly remembered, exclaiming...

"I have food!"

She pointed out that when Juliet started putting her on solid food, she couldnt come for each meal so she gave her a 3 day supply of fruit cups and granola bars that Kate had kept hidden in her bed. Before she left to go find Sawyer, she stuffed them all in a bag. Dumping them all out in a pile before them, she smiled, happy to be useful. Jack was clearly surprised and Sawyer couldnt help but rub it in a little...

"See Doc...We got your damn fruit!"

Kate rolled her eyes and looked back at him with a smirk. Unbelievable, she thought.

After they all had their fill, everyone packed up and they cleared out. Alex led the way and Danielle was following right behind her. Jack still had his gun ready should Danielle try anything, but he was confident, as was Sayid, that this was their chance to get into the heart of operations.

Alex pointed out before they got to the hidden underground entrance that they may need to split up should there be any people walking around. It was less suspicious with one or two figures moving together versus a whole group.

They finally reached the large doors, which were completely hidden by vines and underbrush, but Alex swooped the foliage aside and entered in a combination to the keypad. Sayid watched her carefully and memorized the combination incase they needed it later.

The large doors slid open and all 6 of them entered the facilities. There was a light coming from a room at the end of the central hallway. Knowing there was a potential to be spotted, Alex pointed to Sawyer and Kate to take the left hallway, she and Jack would take the central hall, and Danielle and Sayid would take the right. They had discussed the layout earlier and once the halls on the right and left curved, they would all end up in the control room. That is where they would meet. Hopeful and confident that they would all make it to the other side, Jack nodded about to follow Alex's lead and looked back at Sawyer, Kate, Sayid, and Danielle, speaking in a hushed tone, and giving them their last pep talk, he could only offer one simple phrase...

"Good luck!"

What happened now lay only in Gods hands.

Chapter 14

Heading down the left hallway, the lights were dimly lit and not many of the rooms were marked. Sawyer remarked in a hushed tone while walking next to Kate...

"Now tell me again why were back in here helpin Jackass and Fatal Attraction settle their scores...Didnt we already do this before and it turned into a shit storm? (He looked over at Kate trying to hide his worry about her) Besides...you shouldnt even be here in your condition..."

Kate looked at him and shook her head...

"My condition doesnt make me an invalid Sawyer... (There was a short pause and then Kate offered a small smile answering him in a whisper)...Were here because its the right thing to do...And because this could give us a chance... (She added) For a future..."

Sawyer looked down at her and then his eyes grazed over her stomach. He knew what she was referring to--their baby and their life together now. How did this happen so fast? He wondered...But in a way, Sawyer couldnt get over how quickly he had been drawn to Kate when they first got here. In his old life, someone like her wouldnt have given him the time of day, and he wouldnt have wasted all his efforts. But here....This island made it possible for each of them to take down their walls. And he found something he never knew he wanted. It was terrifying, and uncharted territory for both of them. He thought after Cassidy, the idea of him being a real father someday, was shot to hell. He would never want that for himself. Love and being tied down was a curse, something left only for the poor saps that fell into the clutches of the black widows that devoured them. He vowed to never fall like that. Never get hurt. Never love, but Kate had done the unthinkable and captured his heart.

Sawyer suddenly felt very protective of her and spun Kate back around to look at him...She met his gaze confused...

"Kate...You have to promise me you will stick by my side in here, okay?"

Sawyer knew she had a will of her own, and a tendency to wander, but it was too dangerous in here. He knew what it was like to lose her now and he wasnt ready to let that happen again. Very worried he added...

"You cant go runnin off actin all like the Xena warrior princess okay?..."

His eyes pleaded with hers and Kate suddenly became very emotional. She knew Sawyer cared for her but up until now she didnt understand how greatly. She could see how worried he was. Tearing up a little she grazed her hand along his cheek and nodded in affirmation...

"I promise Sawyer...I wont go anywhere without you..."

Kate wrapped her arms around his waist and held him to her tightly. The new vulnerability she now carried was finally sinking in. Sawyer held her there for a moment, and then Kate looked up at him.

"Come on...The sooner we get this over with...the sooner we can go home..."

The idea of a home with Kate was a comforting thought for Sawyer and he smiled just a little before following her, he replied...

"You got it Freckles..."

Kate smiled as they kept on walking. Wondering how long this hallway was, they had been walking for over 5 minutes now...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack followed Alex's lead as they moved down the central hallway. The room that was dimly lit was empty. He was thankful, but that meant that whoever was in that room was probably coming back. Keeping his guard up Jack brushed his hand against the gun in his pants.

He asked Alex...

"So what is this...Like a research facility or something?"

Alex shook her head, whispering...

"Yes, something like that..."

She kept walking, but smiled back at him, exclaiming uncomfortably...

"Jack...I just wanted to say how thankful I am to have found you and your friends...You dont know how badly I wanted to see my mother again..."

Jack smiled briefly...It was a little awkward for him to be here with Alex, she couldnt be much older then 16 he thought, but he was glad that they were able to reunite her with her mother after such a long time. Jack didnt exactly trust Danielle, but he could understand in some twisted way the lengths a mother would go for her child. Michael demonstrated similar behavior in order to get Walt back too. Jack was hopeful that they could break this vicious cycle now.

Alex stopped and placed her hand on his arm. Jack had the feeling she was developing some sort of a crush on him. Uncomfortable he didnt want to mislead her and put his hand over hers, slowly pushing it down, he started...

"Alex...I..."

But Alex cut him off putting her finger over her lips in a gesture of silence. She pointed into the other room, there was music playing and Jack knew someone was inside. Alex whispered...

"Let me talk to them...they know me...I can get us by without any trouble..."

Jack didnt know what to say, he didnt think they had many options here, but he didnt want to see Alex get hurt and, spoke in a hushed tone...

"Alex, wait!"

But she just shook her head.

"Ill be right back! Stay out of site." she said, before turning into the doorway.

Jack could hear voices but he couldnt make out what they were saying and then it got quiet all the sudden. Jack heard steps come in his direction from inside the room and he scaled back against the wall. His heart was racing and then to his surprise he saw to his immediate right a man emerge from the room. Jack had a split second to react, but the man caught his gaze too quickly and spoke his name...

"Jack Shepard?"

Completely stunned that he knew his name he was caught off guard, finally replying...

"Yeah...Thats me..."

The man remained calm and stern and nodded his head...

"Come with me then...Mr. Linus would like to see you now..."

Jack stopped dead in his tracks...

Jack thought, he knew who Mr. Linus was...He had the pleasure of making his acquaintance out on the docks, but he still shook his head...

"Wait...Where's Alex? What's going on?"

Jack was starting to get worried. What had they done to Alex and furthermore, what was going to happen to his friends if he wasnt down at the end of that control room to meet them? Trying to stall this man he wouldnt budge an inch till he gave him some answers.

The man replied simply and calmly...

"Alex is checking on your friends...Rest assured Dr. Shepard, they will not be harmed...Mr. Linus just wants to talk to you..."

Jack shook his head. He just had this feeling that something had gone terribly gone. Shaking more violently now he replied...

"IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE TILL I SEE MY FRIENDS!!!"

The man still eerily calm just shook his head...

"You must lower your voice Dr. Shepard...We dont have time to meet your friends...

Jack shook his head and shouted louder at him...

"TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE!!!"

The man pulled out a needle. Jacks eyes grew wide and attempted to strong arm the man away from him, but the man was too strong, pushing it into his neck...

"I warned you to keep your voice down..."

Jack closed his eyes as his limp body collapsed on the floor.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sayid thought it was an oddly suspicious plan that Alex had offered them. It seemed reasonable enough, but also, almost too simple. And there had been no roadblocks along the way. He thought he would sit back and be ready for whatever they tossed at them but now it was eerily quiet. He didnt know whether or not to confront Danielle about it. He had made the mistake of trusting her before. For all he knew now, she could be leading him into a trap.

He regretted his earlier decision to let them all split up. It was a double edged sword however. On one hand he needed Danielle to think she was earning back his trust, on the other perhaps his trust should be the last thing he should be worried about right now.

Sayid finally broke the silence, by asking Danielle a question...

"Danielle? (She looked back at him) Why did Henry want you to bring him back to our camp?"

She walked in silence for a moment thinking over her answer and then replied...

"He didnt tell me why exactly...(Sayid looked down at the floor disappointedly...She was going to play that game with him again, but Danielle continued to his surprise...) I think he wanted to get inside to find out what was going on though...Who was in charge of what...Who people listened to...Who was the most vulnerable..."

Sayid nodded, speaking his thoughts outloud...

"Yes, that would explain the list..."

He knew in the military that this was the best way to break up the enemy. Get inside, find their weaknesses. And with Jack gone out of camp, there was bound to be disorder back at the beach. Sayid wished he could be in two places at once, but he was thankful that Locke was back there at least keeping an eye on things. He knew the great white hunter, as Sawyer called him, was a peaceful man, but he also thought Locke would look out for any of the other survivors, and if danger was near, he would protect them.

Feeling like all the hope was riding on this moment and what happened here today, Sayid thought now more then ever he would have to approach them with meticulous precision. There was no room for mistakes.

Sayid was surprised when Danielle turned back to him suddenly...Her eyes were sad and she looked regretful.

"Sayid...Im sorry for what I put you and your people through..."

Sayid met her gaze and nodded his head with somber understanding, replying quietly...

"Thank you Danielle..."

They were both caught off guard when the lights suddenly went out in the hallway. Sayid felt an eerie familiarity with this and didnt like it. He had used this tactic to get them out before.

Whispering to her...

"Rousseau...Get to the side..."

But he could tell there was another person in the hall with them now. Closing his eyes, trying to amplify his hearing and perception senses, he registered where the person was and where they were moving. They were coming close now, too close. Sayid felt for Danielle and then suddenly heard a shriek of pain. And the body collapsed to the floor.

Sayid knew it was Danielle, she had been attacked and he finally detected the assailant, putting his hand tightly around the persons neck in a death grip. When he touched her, he realized it was a woman. Not what he expected to find, feeling that wave of familiarity pass over him again, he realized as his hands entangled in her long hair that he knew who she was...

"Alex!"

But his words were only answered by a sharp shooting pain in his side...Sayid groaned and collapsed to the floor, feeling the handle of the knife he pulled it out of his flesh, realizing he had just been stabbed.

The pain was intense and he could barely make out her words, but could not see any movement from Danielle, Alex spoke, breaking the painful silence, sobbing outloud...

"Consider this payback for all those years of making me deal with all your shit Danielle...You think I wanted to see you...You think I wanted to be reminded every day that I was different...That I wasnt one of them...And what kind of a mother are you? One who abandons her child! These people are good; they arent capable of the kinds of things you've done. And you know what Im talking about! They would never do to our kind what you did to yours...To your own husband even. These people are my real family. You have never been anything but a thorn in my side since the day I was born...I havent been able to belong in here because of you and I want you to know in these last few seconds before you die that I never saw you as a mother to me...No matter how hard Ben pushed me to go see you, I never wanted to. I hate you Danielle!"

Sayid could hear Danielles coughing chokes and sobs, but his own injury rendered him incapable of moving over to her. He blinked his eyes slowly and focused in on Alex. His eyes were adjusting to the light now, and he broke her proclamations of madness...

"Why Alex?"

Her eyes were fixed on Danielle but when Sayid spoke to her she darted her gaze over to him. He could see how much rage was locked up in there, how angry she had been. This was an Alex who was empty. She finally broke her trance and answered him, trying to muffle her shaky voice...

"I just told her why...Because she ruined my life and I can never be like one of them now..."

Sayid let out a muffled groan and replied...

"You think she wanted to do all the things she had done... (He pressed his hand tighter against his side to stop the bleeding, groaning as he tried to sit up...) She was just a pawn to them...Just like you...The only real family you ever had is sitting there dying right now..."

He thought he saw a wave of emotion and regret wash over her face but then it was gone. And she looked at him coolly...

"She deserved it...Just like you and your friends deserve to die for the things you have done..."

Sayid closed his eyes. It was hard for him to find justice in his own past actions, but he had to reason with her...

"If you are referring to murder then Alex...You might as well add your name to the list...Because you are one of us now..."

He had no idea if he was getting through to her. She seemed like a very young and confused girl. But the brutality in which she attacked her own mother just now made him wonder if she was beyond reason. Sayid continued...

"You can still help Alex...Help me by putting pressure on her wound..."

Alex looked so tormented in that moment. Her gaze lost in Danielle and then the alarms started sounding and it broke her chain of thought, shaking her head at him, she yelled...

"No...She is dead to me...and she should be dead too!!!"

Sayid used all his energy to yell out her name over the alarms...

"Alex!!!"

But she just turned on her heel and ran down the corridor till he could no longer see her shrinking form.

Sayid could feel the stinging pain in his side. His natural endorphins were beginning to wear off. And he was starting to feel dizzy. Shaking the nausea, he tore off the tank top he was wearing and ripped it in two strips. One he tied securely around his waist. And then he dragged himself over to Danielle. She had been stabbed in her shoulder blade. Alex had hit her main artery and she was rapidly bleeding out. He tried to tie the fabric around her shoulder and under the arm, but Danielle was already unconscious from her loss of blood. Sayid didnt think she would make it. Calling her name, there was no response. The blood already gathered in a puddle around her body on the floor, he tried to shake her, but the exhaustion was setting in so quickly and Sayid soon felt his head fall back against the tiled wall, his body slumping over in final surrender.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kate and Sawyer had been walking for a little longer when Kate thought she heard something. She turned to Sawyer...

"Did you hear that?"

Sawyer looked back at her confused...

"Hear what?"

And then she heard it again, and this time she could tell that Sawyer heard it too, but the voice was so muffled...

"Was that Jack?" Kate asked alarmed.

Sawyer tried to listen for it again, but the voice was gone...

"Dont know Freckles...But how many spinal surgeons would pick a kid for their partner? (He chuckled and looked over at her confidently...) I know your pregnant baby, but you could kick some serious ass..."

Kate smiled briefly, but her amusement was quickly clouded by worry when she didnt hear the voice any longer. She just had this feeling that something had gone terribly wrong...

Kate started testing the doors to the right of them to see if they were open... Sawyer watched her alarmed...

"Hey Freckles...What do you think your doing?"

She kept trying door handles as they moved along the hall...

"Im checking to see if any are open...Some rooms might go all the way through..."

He shook his head and asked...

"Your not seriously thinkin of goin after them are ya? The plan was to stay on this side, and we meet at the control room..."

Kate finally tried one handle that opened into a black room. She quickly found the light switch and saw the door she was looking for on the other side. Heading towards it she exclaimed...

"I know that Sawyer...But I think something has gone bad...Call it a womans intuition..."

Sawyer had no choice but to follow her begrudgingly. Muttering under his breath...

"Yeah, well I hope that womens intuition of yours doesnt get us locked up again..."

Kate closed her eyes pretending not to hear him and she finally reached the door on the other end of the room. Trying the handle, it was jammed. Sawyer told her to step aside...

"Here let me try it"

And he put his hand on the handle jiggling it. It was stuck on something and he decided to push his body weight against the door. Sawyer was losing his patience and finally slammed into it, jamming the door open he fell out into the central hallway.

With a grunt his body hit the floor. Kate helped him up quickly and pulled him back inside the room. For some reason the man hadnt heard them, but Kate watched in horror as Jack was wheeled away on a gurney down at the end of the hall. Sawyer saw it too. Kate clutched him tighter and then when they were out of site she let go replying...

"Im going after them..."

Kate started off down the hall and again, Sawyer had no choice but to follow and make sure nothing happened to her.

They kept out off site scaling along the walls together. Kate finally stopped behind a corner when the man pushing Jack paused outside a door and entered in a combination...

Sawyer whispered over her shoulder...

"Think Jackass will finally cut us some slack when he realizes we saved his life for once?"

Then a voice from behind distracted them both from watching the door...

"I dont think his life is the one you should be concerned about saving..."

They both turned around and Sawyer recognized the man instantly. It was Pickett. Kate felt a chill run down her back when she met the mans hateful gaze. Sawyer reached for his gun but before he could, Picket cut him off...

"Unh unh unh...I wouldnt touch that if I were you James... (He held up his magnum and displayed it proudly) Cause you see....This little baby is aimed right at your girlfriend and before your tiny inconsequential savage like mind can even register when to pull the trigger; this one will have made a hole in her pretty little head."

Sawyer sneered at him, and exclaimed through clenched jaw...

"Thought I already took out the trash today..."

Pickett smirked and went up next to Kate pulling her closer to him he held the gun to her head...

"Well you see Jimmy...You dont mind if I call you Jimmy do ya? Always thought it sounded better then James( All the silent alarms were going off in Sawyers head, this wasnt good and he couldnt protect Kate from where he was) Anyway, as I was sayin Jimmy...I really wanted to kill you...After you faked that little injury, tasered my balls, and escaped I thought you had more then earned your punishment...But then I stopped and wondered why you were doing it all...(He held Kate tighter and started running his hands through her hair, Kate grunted and tried to fight him off, Sawyers nostrils flared...) And I realized it was all for this little Philly right here...So I decided to have Alex lure you both back in with your stupid doctor and that Iraqi...Two birds....Or shall we say 4 birds with one stone...(He chuckled)...Bens got plans for the Doctor"

Sawyer stepped closer and aimed his gun at Picket, his anger brimming over...

"Get your hands off her Fucker, or Ill shoot so many holes in you they wont recognize the headshot!"

Pickett continued to laugh and Sawyers turbulent eyes scanned the the wall to the side of them. He suddenly saw a fire alarm and quickly returned his gaze back to Pickett as to not arouse suspicion. Picket replied cuttingly, trying to bait him into doing something stupid...

"Maybe Ill put my hands all over her before Im done with her... (Sawyer stepped towards them again, his jaw clenched and Picket smiled thinking it was working) But I can assure you...come any closer and ill make good on my first promise..."

Sawyer pointed his gun at the floor and met his gaze inching ever so slightly closer. Kate could see what Sawyer was going for now and she attempted to wriggle out of Picketts grasp again. Groaning through the hand covering her mouth.

"Oh she would feel so good...I bet shes a sweet little piece of ass isnt she? Pickett exclaimed trying to taunt him again. He was turning with Kate to face Sawyer and Sawyer finally had his back to the wall. Inching over more and over more still, almost there...

"But she might be just as good with a hole in her head too..."

Sawyer finally snapped, his anger rage and fear boiling over, his hand pulling up the gun, he shouted....

"You Son of a Bitch!!!!"

And the switch for the alarm system was pulled down.

Down the hall the loud alarm muffled the sound of a single shot going off.

Chapter 15

Picketts lifeless body dropped to the floor. Sawyer thought angrily, was there any doubt that he wasnt gonna die after that little stunt he pulled? Answering his own question, Not in this lifetime there wasnt. Kate had taken Sawyers signal and as the alarm sounded and distracted Pickett, losing his grip on her, she elbowed and hammer fisted him in the groin, distancing herself from him. That was when Sawyer took the shot and he hit him square between the eyes. Picketts blood spattered over the floor and walls and some got on Kate as he collapsed. Kate looked back at Sawyer a little shaken up over the whole thing. She paused for a moment still in shock and then suddenly threw her arms around him. No words were necessary as they held on to each other despite the alarms and then he propped her chin up. He could see the emotion brewing in her eyes and he hated that she had to go through all this. Trying to make it all better he stifled her muffled sob with a kiss.

Suddenly the door to Jacks room burst open and the man that had carted him inside ran out in the opposite direction. Kate began to move towards the door, but Sawyer pulled her back...

"Kate wait!"

She looked at him confused and then he picked up Picketts gun and handed it to her.

"Here, (he said) You'll need this..."

Kate smiled softly back at him, trying to hold the waves of emotion she was feeling at bay, and she leaned in to kiss him swiftly on the lips again...

"Thank you" She replied smiling before heading back into Jacks room. Sawyer followed her and they found Jack lying there unconscious in a hospital bed. Kate ran to his side. For some odd reason, Sawyer still felt a slight pang of jealousy at seeing this. He and Kate were as close as they could ever be now and she was carrying his child, but he thought back to how hard it was for them to get here and how he never felt he deserved her. He had always thought Jack would win her.

Looking down sadly watching Kate try to revive him with her voice and a few gentle shakes, he could tell that it wasnt working. The Doc was out cold. Sawyer stepped up on the other side of the bed and looked down at Jack. Kate could tell that the wheels were turning in Sawyers head and she watched him curiously, wanting to cut to the chase...

"Sawyer, I think we may need to just wheel him out of here on that gurney..."

Sawyer smirked and shook his head...

"No way am I gonna cart Jackass around on that thing...You want to get shot at again, try running down the hall at half the speed with a moving target the size of this bed for us to stumble over?"

Kate looked at him disappointed.

"Sawyer we cant just leave..."

But before the words left her mouth, her jaw physically dropped when she saw what Sawyer had just done.

Looking at the red mark on Jacks face there was a hand print the size of Sawyers hand...

"Sawyer!" Her voice was raised.

But Sawyer just looked at Jack annoyed...

"Wake up Dr. Giggles...Happy medicine time is over!"

He was raising his hand ready for another slap when Jack opened his eyes groggily. Kate saw that Sawyer wasnt drawing his hand back though, he was raising it for another slap, and she yelled his name...

"Sawyer!"

Jack looked up at him, feeling like he had just been run through a train wreck...

"Sawyer?...(Jack rubbed the sore spot on his cheek and asked while still under disorientation) What happ?..Where am?"

Kate put her hand gently on Jacks shoulder to let him know that she was there for him. Sawyer narrowed his eyes looking at her hand...He had to control himself. Kate continued...

"Jack, we are in the Other headquarters...In the Hydra station...And we saw them take you in here unconscious...we dont know where Alex went...Or where Sayid and Danielle are either...But we have to get you out of here..."

Jack looked up at her, forcing himself upwards, propping himself up on his elbows as he took it all in. Trying to recall what had happened, and then he answered her still groggy...

"Alex is gone...(he was still rubbing his face) I think she is the reason Im in here in the first place..."

Kate looked at Sawyer concerned. Sawyer met her gaze and he asked...

"So youre saying a kid did this to you?"

Sawyer couldnt help but smirk at the thought of that teenager rendering Jack unconscious. He really was all talk wasnt he? Jack was serious however, and explained...

"No she didnt...Some other guy did...He wanted me to go with him to see Mr. Linus and I said I wasnt going anywhere without all of you..."

Sawyer patted his shoulder...

"Think I liked the first story better there Hoss...It was more believable"

Jack rolled his eyes at him...Sitting up now he tossed his legs to the side of the bed, Kates side. Playing every bit the part of the injured lion he struggled to get up till Kate finally offered him her arm. Jack struggled to walk for a moment and Kate helped him get his bearings back. Sawyer flinched at seeing Jack with his arm around Kate and went over to the other side of the room, plopping down in the chair. His jealousy was rising but he was doing everything in his power to hold it in, snarking back as he did his best to go against the grain...

"Well you two can go ridin off into the sunset together, but (he folded his arms) Im stayin right here till I get some answers..."

Kate looked back at Sawyer questioningly and she could see that he wasnt budging. What was all this riding off into the sunset business? But then she followed Sawyers gaze which was locked on her arm around Jacks waist. Oh for heavens sake, she thought. Is he seriously jealous of Jack?

Deciding to have a little fun with him she looked over at Jack and asked him...

"Jack will you please excuse us for a minute..."

"What?" He asked confused....

"It will just be a minute Jack...I promise..."

Kate let go of Jack and he left the room. He was a little irritated that Kate was taking time to reason with the Neanderthal in there. Debating on telling her that she was wasting her time, But Kate wouldnt have listened to him if he tried.

Kate waited for the doors to shut and then she walked over to Sawyer in slow careful steps looking him dead in the eye, deciding to call him out on exactly what she assumed was bothering him...

"Your not jealous are you Sawyer?"

Sawyer met her gaze sternly. His brows creased...

"No why would you say something like that?"

Kate casually walked over closer to him till she was standing right between his legs...

"Oh no reason...Just the way you suggested that Jack and I go off into the sunset together while you stayed here...And the way your sitting now....And that defiant look on your face..."

Sawyer shook his head not being able to meet her gaze; he hated how she could see through him like that, it made him uncomfortable, looking at an insignificant spot on the floor. Kate wanted his attention. She straddled her legs over the chair sitting down in his lap and pulled his chin up to look at her.

"Because I have to tell you Sawyer...I think thats pretty stupid."

She had his gaze locked with her now, and his brow was all furrowed. Kate reached up and touched his face, taking his hand in hers slowly...

"And you know something else.... (She pulled Sawyers hand up to her breast slowly, speaking with careful enunciation...) I would never let him touch me like this..." (Cupping it he ran his thumb over her erect nub, and she continued with a sultry voice)

All it took was a thought for her these days. Her touch pulling him out slowly from behind that wall, taking it further she moved her hand over his guiding him...

"Or like this..."

Pushing his hand down along her abdomen and navel, finally to rest in the vee of her pants. Her voice dropped a little reaching down with her other hand to feel the hardness beneath his denims...

"And I sure as hell wouldnt touch him like this..."

Sawyer began to get hard, he couldnt help it and when Kate started massaging him he groaned and plunged his tongue into her mouth. Kate kissed him back fully and heatedly and almost forgot what she was doing here in the first place, that was easy to do with Sawyer. Her mind was all a jumble of thoughts and then she recalled that she was trying to get him to snap out of it. And thought a few little sexual innuendos would do the trick, but the tables had easily turned now as she realized she wanted to take things further, she could have easily fallen into that trap. Barely self aware enough to conclude that he had an equal amount of control here, her reasoning came rushing back and she breathed out, pulling away she looked at him in the eye...

"You said we should stick together...Can we please be a team here Sawyer?"

He looked back at her still slightly intoxicated by their kiss, and still hard, her words attempting to sober him up faster then he would care too. Realizing the magnitude of this situation and knowing who they were dealing with and what happened the last time they were in captivity she met his gaze with a scared look on her face, her voice a little shaky...

"I cant do this without you Sawyer; we have to be in this together..."

Sawyer looked back sadly at her, he hated to see her upset like this and he knew what she was talking about wasnt just about here and now, she was asking him to be her Partner. He looked back at her...

"Kate...I...I... (He was touched and he didnt know what to say)

As long as we dont end up like one of those couples who wear matching his and hers Mickey and Minnie mouse tee shirts...Im fine with it."

Kate shook her head tossing her eyes up briefly as she smiled back at him. She knew it was always going to be a challenge with him to get him to give up his power, just like she knew she would have trouble giving up her control, but slowly, she was beginning to realize how nice it was to have someone to lean on every once in awhile, and that made Kate happy. Kissing him back in her delight. Sawyer took the kiss deeper and wrapped his arms around her. He could do this forever he thought dreamily.

Kate also had similar thoughts, and then Sawyer pulled away and looked at her mischievously wanting to play with her the same way she played with him. She did after all leave him hanging on the edge of his seat with a burning arousal for her. Their sexual acts like a game to him to see who could be the first to surrender from pleasure. His hands roamed back to the place she guided him earlier.

Kates senses were already tingling and then he dipped his hand into her panty line, grazing her sensitive areas with his fingers as they sunk into her folds, casting a mischievous grin, Sawyer asked...

"So you wouldnt let him touch you here huh?"

Kate let out a small moan and looked up at him intoxicatedly...Sawyer smirked and continued to stroke her...

"Not even when..."

Kate was quickly losing the battle to keep her sanity as he continued to run waves of pleasure through her body, while stroking her core. She tried to shake herself out of it though remembering again why they were here, and she had the sneaking suspicion that Sawyer knew exactly what he was doing and with Jack standing right outside no doubt. The mere thought of Jack was like a cold bucket of water waking her up and she suddenly jerked up...

"Sawyer!"

He saw her flushed cheeks and smiled smugly to himself. Trying to be charming he asked her thoughtfully...

"Yes Freckles?"

Her breathing was a little irregular and she watched him as he pulled his hand out of her pants, replying...

"You know what I meant..."

Sawyer was still playing with her and put his hand back on her waistline, mock threatening her to plunge downwards again, wanting to see if she would call his bluff...

"I dont know if I did baby...You might have to show me (dipping his fingers in further still, teasing her, he continued...) exactly what you mean..."

Kate caught his wrist and pulled his hand out. She was sure that her one minute had at least turned into 5 now.

Meanwhile Jack was waiting apprehensively outside the double doors, and begun to consider what Sawyer was suggesting. Things had already gone haywire, but while they were in here, why not accomplish what they came to do? He heard a noise down the hall and thought he had been out here long enough. What on earth were those two talking about anyway? As long as they had been, they could have written the goddamn declaration of independence by now. Shaking his head he opened the double doors...

"Hey guys!!!"

Jack said before he got a good look at what was going on. His brow creasing when he saw Kate straddled over Sawyers lap, and Sawyer had a satisfied look on his face. Jack snarled angry now, that Kate had wasted valuable time to have a little make out session with her boyfriend. He felt like he had interrupted an intimate moment between the two as they both looked back at him questioningly and he snapped...

"Try to wrap it up okay? There are other BIGGER things going on here besides you two!"

Jack couldnt look at them anymore, too angry to speak now and he went back into the hallway.

Kate felt horribly guilty all of the sudden and started to get up off of Sawyers lap to follow Jack,

"Jack wait, Im..." She started to call out to him when Sawyer caught her wrist.

Sawyer closed his eyes and shook his head, finally looking up to meet her gaze...

"Dont do that Freckles!"

Kate looked at him puzzled.

"Do what?"

"Stop apologizin to him...You got nothin to be sorry for..."

Kate looked back at him distraughtly, shaking her head...

"Sawyer, he's right..."

Sawyer lifted her up out of his lap and stood up facing her. He couldnt believe they were back here again. Why the hell did she need Jacks goddamn approval? Arguing with her...

"No, he's not right Kate!"

Shaking his head...

"If you want to blame anyone, blame Me then...Im the one who kept you behind... (He put his hands on her shoulders, his eyes pleading with hers...) Just dont blame yourself...Cause your a good person Kate...Too good to let him control you like that..."

Sawyer looked away, thinking he wasnt getting through to her. It was his last ditch attempt. He knew it wasnt the jealousy talking this time. It was bigger then that. He didnt want to see her get lost again and feel guilty for being herself. She had that translucent look about her and he was convinced in the next moment shed turn around and go follow Jack, but when he looked up, she was still standing there looking at him...

He met her gaze unsure of what to think and then Kate closed the gap between them. Before he could even get a word out she had reached for him and her lips pressed hard against his.

Kate didnt even realize she was doing it when Sawyer caught her red handed. She just felt the guilt overtake and couldnt stop it. Feeling that making things right with Jack was the only way to undo her wrongs. She felt that way with Sam too, like she was never good enough for him. Always trying to live up to his expectations. Who he wanted her to be. Wanting to fulfill his hopes and dreams. And Kate thought that was all perfectly fine until she met Sawyer.

She hadnt even realized she lost herself until Sawyer found her. This man she was standing before, this man she was kissing was so much more then he would ever let on. He wanted everyone to think he was a terrible person, a rotten egg, a scoundrel. But she knew that he was none of those things. Kate knew who the real Sawyer was. She could see beyond those scarred eyes into the depths of his soul. And she knew that he could see her too. Something that terrified her and repelled her from him at first, was the reason she loved him so deeply now.

Pulling away now, Kate looked into his beautiful blue eyes and she exclaimed without hesitation...

"Your a good person too Sawyer!"

He looked tormented for a moment. Like one of his demons had gotten a hold of him and he was trying to break free.

Sawyer didnt know if he agreed with Kate, but then the moment passed and he put his arm around her. Leading back towards the door, he exclaimed...

"C'mon, lets go get Dr. Giggles...and Shanghai on outta here!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few minutes later, they all decided to backtrack down the hallway Sayid and Danielle were supposed to have gone down. Kate gasped in the dark hallway when she finally made out Sayid's slumped over form. He was lying unconscious and Jack and Sawyer dragged him into a nearby room to cast some light on him.

Jack took off the fabric bandage Sayid had made for himself and immediately saw the gash in his side and suspected he was unconscious due to a large loss of blood. Sayid needed to be stabilized for a few hours and this was no place to do that. The location of the wound was luckily not above any vital organs and Jack hoped that the only thing Sayid needed to worry about was the healing of his muscle tissue, blood vessels, and skin.

Jacks eyes darted around the room looking for something he could use. His eyes finally resting on a first aid kit. Jack looked at Kate and gestured off to the glass box on the far wall...

"Kate, bring me that first aid kit" (then he addressed Sawyer...) "Sawyer keep pressure on that wound, while I get cleaned up"

Kate saw what Jack was looking at and went to grab it hurriedly. Opening it on the desk along side the counter she took out all the contents. When Jack came back from the sink after washing his hands he took out the antiseptic solution a few bandages, and luckily this kit had sewing string and thread in it as well.

Jack lined them up along the table and took the antiseptic first, cleaning off the bloody flesh. Sawyer could see some slight movement from Sayid and told Jack...

"Doc...Think hes startin to wake up..."

Jack moved faster and took the threaded needle that Kate had prepared for him shakily. Jack inserted the needle pulling it through the skin, making the first stitch, but before he could pull the string tight, Sayid shot up gasping and Jack dropped the needle. Everyone stepped back, unsure of Sayids current mental state. Sayid shouted...

"Where is she? Where is Danielle?"

Jack looked at Kate and then Sawyer, then back at Sayid shaking his head hesitantly...

"Danielle was gone...Did she do this to you?"

Sayid looked like he was in pain but was trying to hold it in. Clutching his hand over his gash as he swung his legs over the side of the counter. Grunting he answered Jack...

"No...I think Danielle is dead Jack...And, Alex did this to me!"

Sawyer looked back at Kate puzzled. And Sawyer turned to Jack and asked...

"Wasnt, she with you?"

Jack shook his head...

"She left me...There was a light on in one of the rooms and she said something about making an excuse for us so we could get by without any trouble..."

Sawyer narrowed his eyes. Thinking, they clearly underestimated that girl. Snorting in disbelief at how much damage she was able to do in under an hour.

Jack turned to Sayid...

"Listen, Sayid...I have to patch you up...You need stitches and antibiotic cream..."

Sayid nodded and while Jack worked on him, he explained what Alex had said to him and how she only wanted to get revenge on Danielle.

Once he was bandaged up, Kate grabbed an old workers shirt and handed it to Sayid. He took it from her gratefully and looked at Jack...

"So what now?"

Jack looked at everyone. He saw Kate leaning back against Sawyer. If she was going to be a mother soon, she shouldnt be overexerting herself. And Sawyer needed to take care of her. And then there was Sayid, who wouldnt admit it, but he was in a lot of pain. And he needed to rest off his injury and build his strength back up. All signs pointed to going back home. They needed reinforcements, but they were here, and they had come so far, and something was pulling at him to stay here. Jack felt like there were answers he needed to find. And he could not leave here without them.

Turning to the group, Jack simply stated...

"Im staying...I want to have that meeting with Ben..."

Kate was the first to argue...

"But Jack...You dont even know if that was true...They drugged you...How can you trust them?"

Jack just shook his head; he had made up his mind...

"I want you all to go back home... (He addressed Kate) Kate, you and Sawyer need to think about the baby now...(looking over at Sayid) Sayid...You cant be here with your condition...you need to rest (they all looked at him like he had horns growing out of his head, Jack continued explaining...) I have a trump card...Bens got a tumor on his spine remember? They need me!"

Sayid retorted angrily...

"Jack, dont be naive! You cant trust anything these people say....And...Im staying!"

Jack wasnt surprised by Sayids response, but he knew the man had made his final decision on the matter.

Kate looked at Sawyer and she got the confirmation she needed on his face. She knew he was reluctant to do this, especially after what happened to her last time, but he knew this was important, adding...

"Were staying too!"

Jack looked at Kate and shook his head. Sawyer put his arm out as a gesture to block his response...

"Dont even try it Jacko...When shes made up her mind...theres no changin it..."

Jack smirked and snorted looking down at the floor; he nodded his head and looked up at them...

"Live together, die alone right?"

Sayid nodded, and replied quietly...

"Yes Jack!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All four of them headed back to the room Jack had been in and they sat down and waited. Jack had situated himself on the edge of the bed facing the door. Sawyer took the same chair he had sat in before, while Kate rested on the arm of his chair and Sayid took the other chair. After a few moments of silence and waiting, Kate finally asked...

"You think hes really going to come?"

Nobody really knew the answer to that looking at Kate.

And then, as if on cue, the doors handle outside started to turn. All four of them sitting there holding their breaths as the handle clicked and the door opened.

Kate gasped when she saw who this was. It wasnt who they were expecting it to be. Kate had to blink again to make sure it was real, holding onto Sawyers hand tight.

Sayid watched their reactions. He could see recognition in their faces. Wondering who this woman was. And then Jack got up off the bed and started to approach her. She met his gaze with a turbulent stare of her own. And he looked puzzled. Trying to remember, it seemed so far away and yet so close...On the tip of his tongue, and then she tucked a blonde strand of hair behind her ear, he knew he had seen her do that before...And like a light in a grey fog he found his way back, finally speaking with parched voice, unsure if it was really her....

"Juliet?"

Looking back and forth from him to her and to each other, the remaining three sat there and watched the scene unfold with stunned silence.

Authors note: Just a reminder that in this fan fiction, Jack has not yet been formally introduced to Juliet. He remembers her name from his past. Hope that helps explain that ending from the previous chapter. And now onto this one. :)

Chapter 16

Sayid thought this was the oddest encounter he had ever experienced. But clearly everyone in this room, but him, had met or seen this woman before. What she did, or who she was, was still a mystery to him.

Kate felt like she had just seen a ghost. Sawyer sat up a little straighter in his chair, putting his arm around Kates waist. He was the first one to break the silence looking at Juliet who had her stormy gaze fixed on Jack...

"Didnt you die?"

Juliet shook her head urgently and put her finger up to her mouth in a gesture for him to be quiet. Sawyer creased his eyebrows, what the hell was up with these people? Maybe theres a pot farm somewhere around here and they are all trying to run this place while baked, he thought. They certainly were a peculiar bunch.

Finally giving him an answer, she replied...

"Now that we have you all in captivity, its time to listen to our demands..."

Then she put her hand up in a gesture of silence. Sawyer looked at her like she had horns growing out of her head. Oh yeah, this one has definitely jumped off the deep end. Juliet pulled out a television from the closet nearby and plugged it into the wall. There was a VCR, and she inserted a tape into the machine. Taking out something that looked like a small pen from her pocket, she pulled it out and pressed a button on the side. Once it was pushed down, she quickly explained...

"I have 8 minutes staring from now to answer your questions. Please dont interrupt. I am going to try and tell you as much as I can. This pen sends out a signal of interference to our cameras and tape recorders within the facility. So 8 minutes is all I have to tell you the truth..."

Sayid was sitting on the edge of his seat. And Jack was watching her with creased brow. Juliet continued looking at Sawyer and Kate...

"First of all...I was never dead...That shot was a blank and the wound was make up. It was staged. Danielle helped me make it look like I had been killed. The reason---So that you two would be scared off enough to not return. We hoped you would go running back to Jack. We knew Jack already had his suspicions about Danielle and we needed him to find someone he could trust as a diversion, so when Danielle approached to lead him back, you wouldnt kill her. And we needed Jack to have a motive to come back. And, (she looked at Kate) when he learned that you were pregnant and what they had done, we hoped that would make him upset enough to charge right in. Danielle was intending to lead you to me the whole time...."

Juliet looked down sadly at the floor...

"We never anticipated the lengths at which her daughter would go to hurt Danielle. Alex was given a separate set of orders from Ben. She had the same objective, to bring you all back here...but her hate got in the way..."

Juliet put her hands on her face in aggravation...

"Ben is dealing with Alex now...Which is why I have a few minutes to slip in and explain things to you..."

Looking to Jack, she addressed him...

"Jack...Alex was not lying...Ben has a tumor that he needs removed...He is planning to ask for your help..."

Jack opened his mouth to reply, but his questions were silenced by Juliets actions. Curious, he watched her.

She turned the switch on the television set...

"But what Im about to show you...Will explain everything...(looking at Jack, she added...) You might want to sit down for this Jack..."

Jack blinked at her in disbelief. His mind was racing. He was hesitant at first. This whole place seemed strangely familiar to him. Afraid of what he was about to find out and needing to get those answers; he sank down uncomfortably onto the corner of the bed, waiting on the edge of his seat...

When Juliet clicked the play button a video monitor came up. It looked like surveillance footage and there was a group of surgeons standing around an operating table, all wearing scrubs with the dharma sign on the breast lapel.. There was a dharma sign on the wall as well, and a label below it marking it as the hydra station. The patient was a man and Jack thought he looked familiar. But the man was lying on his chest. His back was opened and they were stitching him up. Jack didnt notice anything out of the ordinary. It looked like a standard operating procedure, and they were removing a growth on the spine. But as they finished up the surgery and the surgeons began to disburse, Jack noticed Juliet was a member of the operating team. She took off her mask and washed her hands.

What they all saw next was the most shocking thing of all. A man had come up next to Juliet and whispered in her ear. Then he washed his hands as well. And when he removed his mask and surgical hat, Jack saw himself on that screen. It was him and he was with Juliet before.

Jack stood up suddenly and approached Juliet angry all of the sudden...

"What the hell is going on??? What is this???"

Sayid, Sawyer, and Kate, all just looked at Jack in disbelief. Nobody knew what to think or say.

Juliet, turned the power off on the television and looked at Jack dissapointedly...

"You dont remember anything do you?"

Jack was very agitated and didnt like where this was going. His mind was racing and he couldnt keep up with it. Starting to feel a dizziness take over. But he fought it looking back at Juliet...

"Remember what? That's not real...However you made that tape...It isnt real...I was never there..."

Juliet closed her eyes, shaking her head. She cautiously approached Jack and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Sit down Jack..."

Jack was enraged, but the heaviness in his head was taking over and he did as she requested reluctantly. Juliet continued...

"You have amnesia Jack! (He looked up at her in shock, his eyes locking with hers...) You have been here to this island before...Before your plane crashed...And you even worked for us.."

Jack shook his head...

"What? No..."

Juliet cut him off...

"That first day...We had you 3 held captive...Do you remember when they took you into that room? They tested your memory Jack...They injected you with truth serum...And they determined that you had selective amnesia...For some reason you couldnt remember anything before the crash about this island...Your memory blocked it out..."

Juliet looked at him sadly....

"We could only determine that the crash must have caused it..."

Jack was enraged and in disbelief he was not able to meet her gaze. She grabbed his hand and held it...

"It all went to hell after you left you know...We were a team you and me! When you decided to leave and return to practice surgery with your father at Sacred Heart, everything fell apart around here...Your plane crash wasnt an accident Jack. You were brought back here at Bens request.... To help him like you helped him before...His tumor came back again... (Her eyes glazed over to Kate and Sawyer) When Sam came on board, our mission statement changed...He wanted us to do unnatural things to people. And was experimenting with mind control through hypnosis. He was consumed by it and even took some of your people, specifically the children who were more susceptible, as subjects to test...When he learned that you had become pregnant, he became obsessed...I assume he brought you here to study you...And then he became fixated on your child...And in some sick way, he thought your child could give him the chance to start over...Who knows how far he was willing to take it...But he was the one who gave the orders to paralyze you..."

Kate looked back at Sawyer horrified. He held her hand tighter in support and rubbed her back. Thinking to himself, if that man wasnt already dead, he would be now. Juliet continued.

"As you know...His death was my intention. If Ben found out about it, he would throw me and everyone else who worked with me into the bear pit. But Ben doesnt know what he wants anymore. We are divided and scattered here and there is nothing stable to hold onto..."

There was a timer on Juliets watch that started beeping and she had to wrap things up quickly, she was under the minute mark now...

"The reason...Im telling you all this...Is because I believe you can help us...(she looked at Jack) Jack you can help Ben with his tumor...Operate on him again and remove the new growth...And he would be grateful for that. Perhaps grateful enough to listen to us...And listen to your people...If I could get the chance when he was under again, I could contact someone on the outside to come and rescue us, and then we could abort this project...You could all go home...

She looked at Sayid, Sawyer and Kate.

The rest of you 3 cannot interfere. You must cooperate with him...If Ben had any reason to suspect that this was a set up, he would go back to the old ways, Sams way, because that is what he is most familiar with. He is scared too, I can see it. But if he went back to Sams way, there would be nothing left. They have gone too far with this project and research and I think it needs to stop.... (She met Jacks eyes with a sense of urgency, begging him to remember, what they had, hoping that he would lend a hand with this, she needed him so desperately, locking her gaze with his) So will you help me, Please?

The beeper on her watch started to go off rapidly and Juliet watched Jack pleadingly. 15 seconds left. She needed to know that she had his agreement first and foremost. She thought if Jack agreed to her terms, the rest would take his lead. And her time was almost up.

Jacks head was spinning. If someone asked him at that moment which direction was up or down, he didnt think he could answer. His mind was all a blur, but he saw Juliets pleading eyes, and some recognition set in. What she was saying sounded so absurd, so preposterous, but it was also somewhat familiar to him like he had dreamed it. It was distant but also close. He wanted to believe her but he wasnt sure if he could. The beeper echoed in his head and he finally looked at Juliet, and blinked his eyes answering her without hesitation...

"Yes...

I'll help you..."

And the beeping finally stopped.

Everyone watched Juliet and she nodded, giving him a weak smile. The rest was in their hands and her time was up. She didnt have a chance to confirm with the other three. After dealing with James briefly, she knew he wouldnt take any crap. Thinking Kate perhaps would cooperate if she believed her. But the Iraqi, Sayid, was the wild card. Hoping they were all on board here she folded her hands together.

"Good...Ill get Ben then and tell him your all here..."

Juliet smiled uncomfortably and nodded graciously as she left them all there alone and in a state of utter dismay, the same way they had been when she entered the room.

Kate couldnt get over the fact that Jack was an Other. He was one of them. She wouldnt have believed it if she hadnt seen for herself on that surveillance footage.

Sawyer thought to himself, this was interesting, very interesting. The tables had definitely turned now. And the doc was in the hot seat. He narrowed his eyes at Jack. Breaking the uncomfortable silence.

"Sometimes Life's a bitch aint it doc?"

Jack looked at all 3 of them, and he suddenly felt like the outsider here. They were all staring at him as if he was the elephant in the room. But Sawyers words somehow seemed to capture the moment perfectly and he looked up at them tiredly, answering...

"Yeah...sometimes it is Sawyer."

Sayid watched Jack through this whole ordeal. Juliet had definitely thrown him a curve ball and blindsided him. But in his wildest imagination on the most creative of days, he didnt think the Republican Guard could have come up with a scheme as crazy and elaborate as this to trick a prisoner. Sayid thought there was very little chance that Juliet was making this up. It was too far-fetched to be a lie. And Jack had called her by name earlier. He had made no mention of Juliet previously to him and Sayid knew that Jack was starting to remember her.

Sayid concluded that it had to be true. He was well aware that they were being watched and recorded here. And this Benjamin Linus was likely to show himself any minute. But he wanted to give Jack his thoughts on the matter, exclaiming with careful wording...

"I think it would be best to cooperate with them..."

They looked over at Sawyer and Kate. And Kate looked at Sawyer, unsettled herself. She was sure he wouldnt like the idea of working with these people. Sawyer knew what she was asking him with her eyes and he replied quietly...

"Juries still out Freckles..."

There was no way he was going to let them put her in danger again. Kate knew that too. And she smiled faintly knowing that was the most she would get out of Sawyer.

Kate had to stand up and move around. All this sitting was making her restless. She worried about what it would be like to go back home. Would she be hunted? What kind of life could she offer a child if she was a fugitive? Could she and Sawyer live together outside this little bubble? Kate had almost given up on the idea of ever seeing the states again. She had almost forgotten. Thinking of this island as her home now. But the truth was, her home was wherever Sawyer was. But could they make it work anywhere but here? It had been at least a couple months since she had thought of these things, the thought of going back, but now as the memories came flooding back, recalling what life was like on the run, she became overwhelmed.

Her breathing got heavier starting to panic. Kate realized she still didnt know much about Sawyers past, or he hers. Although oddly enough, he knew more than she had ever confessed to any one person. Her dearly departed Tom didnt know what she had to do to make it on her own after Wayne's death. And Kevin, didnt even know her real name. Sawyer was the first person she had ever been totally real with. She had a feeling even if she tried; he would know that she was lying. But how could they live together in a world outside of this one? Would they end up tearing each other apart? She knew happily ever after wasnt in the cards for either of them. It was unrealistic to think otherwise. But she was happy here, with what they had. Kate didnt know if she wanted to jeopardize that. Freedom wasnt necessarily as valuable a commodity to her since she had everything she needed right here.

Sawyer watched Kate as she paced the floor. He could tell she had that nervous unsettling feeling and like a caged animal, and she wanted out. Standing up he approached her from behind and put his hand on her shoulder...

"Kate..." He spoke her name softly.

But she just turned around and looked at him...

"I cant Sawyer...I just cant..."

The pressure on her chest was getting to be too much and she felt like if she didnt get out of this room right now, her lungs would explode. Finally giving into her inner most desire

Kate darted back out through the double doors not sure where she was going, but she couldnt be in that room anymore. Taking off down the hallway where Pickets body had once laid, she ran and ran.

Under his breath, Sawyer muttered, "shit" as Kate stormed out. He looked over at Jack and Sayid and without hesitation took off after her.

Kate was fast, but Sawyer was just a little faster, and he finally caught up with her. She wasnt slowing down when he called her name though...

"Kate...Kate wait!"

Bur she just kept running and Sawyer finally had to grab her wrist and spin her around to get her attention. He had a hold on her and wouldnt let go, but a little out of breath from running so fast, he swallowed hard, asking her...

"What the hell just happened in there?"

Kate's eyes were stormy and pulled out of his grasp, turning back around; she muffled a sob and started walking...

"I just cant Sawyer...I cant go back..."

Sawyer was trying to figure out what she was talking about when he noticed she had moved away from him again and he put his hand on her shoulder stopping her so he could stand in front of her once more. Holding her hand he exclaimed...

"Baby...Your not goin anywhere...Im here right by your side...And I swear to you that I wont let anything happen to you in here! (He saw how tormented she was over this and tried to encourage her, reminding her of her own words...) We're a team, remember?"

Kate smiled faintly at this and she looked at him pleadingly...

"I cant go back there Sawyer...Back to my life before all this...I cant be locked up and live in a cage for the rest of my life...I just cant...Its not fair to you...to the baby.... (Her voice was shaky) Im so scared..."

Kates eyes were stormy and Sawyer pulled her into his arms holding her there tightly. He realized now what she was doing...Trying to run away from her past. Just like she had been doing for god knows how long before she got here. It made him sad to think about the tragedies in her life and he understood why she wouldnt want to go back. It even reminded him of his life and the mess he left behind. But the more he was with Kate; the less he felt the need to look back. He hadnt even read his letter in a month...Sawyer looked down at Kates brown mane of hair, her face buried in his chest and he spoke into her hair...

"Listen Freckles...I dont know whats gonna happen here...If this is even the beginning or the end...But if it is the end and we all went back...I want you to know that I would look out for you...There are places we could go...where no one knew us...where we could start over..."

She shook her head and looked up at him...

"I dont know if it would be that easy Sawyer...Ive done the false identity thing...Someone always figures it out..."

Sawyer met her gaze clearly and he ran his hand through her hair...

"We all died that day Kate...Nobody knows were still alive (he closed his eyes and sighed...) I know this isnt the only place we could ever be happy Kate...There's a whole world out there...A whole lifetime for us...( trying to lighten the mood, he added) Besides, you know I can outrun you Sweetheart, as illustrated a few minutes ago...So if you had to put those runnin shoes back on, you know I wouldnt be far behind..."

Kate smiled faintly at the thought of Sawyer in running shoes chasing after her. He always knew just what to say. Just what she needed to hear to bring her back down to the ground. Kate put her hand on his jaw and exclaimed before she kissed him...

"I love you James..."

Sawyer was caught off guard by her use of his real name all of the sudden, and couldnt help but kiss her back, but then he pulled away questioningly. And Kate met his glare with a smirk...

"What? You think Im the only one who has skeletons in her closet, Mr. I have it all together..."

Sawyer smiled and shook his head...

"I dont ha..."

But Kate smothered whatever he was planning to say with another kiss...And then she looked back at him...

"You have more then you give yourself credit for Sawyer!"

Kate could see the hesitation in his eyes. She knew he would most likely disagree with her, but this seemed like there was something more he wanted to say. She was just about to ask him what was wrong, when they were interrupted. A familiar voice called out to them from behind.

"I need to talk to you both..."

Sawyer held Kates hand as he turned around to face Juliet.

"What now Blondie? Gonna spew out another Tall tale about one of us really being a descendent of a venus fly trap or somethin?"

Juliet smirked and shook her head, looking back at Sawyer...

"No James...I just wanted to tell you that you two can go back home...to your beach..."

Sawyer looked at her puzzled and Kate asked....

"Why?"

Juliet met her gaze and then Sawyers...

"Ben says you both have been through enough...You may return to your camp and should we need your help...We will contact you..."

Sawyer narrowed his eyes, looking at her suspiciously...

"Your just gonna let us go...Just like that?...What about Jack and Sayid?"

"Sayid wants to stay here and try to understand how things are run...But you both need to go back...Your people are worried about you...(she looked at Kate) You need your rest Kate...(she looked at Sawyer) And you need to take care of her....And Jack agrees with me..."

Kate shook her head adamantly...

"No, were not leaving without Jack or Sayid...We came here together....We're leaving together..."

Juliet remained calm and started to walk back towards the room they had just left.

"Come with me then..."

Sawyer looked back at Kate puzzled and they followed Juliet...

When they got back to the room, Jack and Sayid were coming out following Ben. Kate went up to Jack feeling a bit awkward by the onlookers, Ben in particular , but she didnt care bypassing everyone and heading straight for Jack, she asked him point blank...

"Jack...Are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure you want to stay?"

Jack was surprised to see Kate and Sawyer come back awknowledging her, he shook his head and smiled faintly. With the magnitude of everything that happened, he thought it was touching that Kate was still worried about him. I reminded him of the first few days after the crash when everything was so new and unknown and he knew nothing about her. In another lifetime perhaps, he would have tried harder. But deep down, Jack knew that Kate wasnt the right match for him. She was just another one, like Sarah, like Gabriella. He always felt like something was missing in all of that. That they really didnt love him, but instead, who he represented. Finally answering her he nodded...

"Yes Kate...Im sure...(he looked over at Sayid for confirmation and then back to Kate and Sawyer) Sayid will return to you in a few days...Once he is well enough to make the hike back...And he will let you know what you can do from there..."

Kate met his gaze searching his eyes, to see if there was any speck of doubt or fear, but Jack looked cool and calm and she knew she couldnt convince him otherwise. She felt sad for him all the sudden. Wondering what he must be going through. The unordinary way things had all worked out. Kate went up to Jack and threw her arms around him, Her watery eyes finally betraying her...

"Take care of yourself...I hope I see you again..."

Sawyer watched Kate's goodbye to Jack sadly. And looked back at Sayid for confirmation. Sayid nodded at him. Whatever they had discussed in that room, they all had come to an agreement.

Jack nodded letting go of her and meeting her stormy gaze...

"You will Kate...You will, I promise..."

Kate went over to Sayid and hugged him too. While she did this, Sawyer went up to Jack and offered him his hand. Jack took it giving him a hearty shake and Sawyer exclaimed...

"Your alright Doc"

Jack smiled at this, never thinking he'd hear those words come from Sawyers mouth and nodded, looking back over at Kate...

"Take care of her Sawyer...(pausing for a moment he added) I never got to congratulate you both on your new addition...So, Congratulations!"

Sawyer flinched. He didnt think he was a person who deserved to be congratulated right now. Especially when he didnt think he was doing anything heroic. He was leaving with Kate. That wasnt anything admirable. Feeling melancholy as he shook Sayid's hand and they were escorted to the door, Sawyer wondered if he really deserved this.

There wasnt any room however for argument when Juliet showed them out. As Kate and Sawyer stepped foot on the jungle soil once more she called after them

Dont worry, they have too much to lose by hurting either of them

Kate forced a worried smile and shook her head knowingly. She knew Juliet was trying to assure her, and she was confident that the woman genuinely cared for Jack, but there was always that small doubt in the back of her mind. Knowing what they were capable, she hoped Jack would be okay and that Sayid would return back to them safely. Kate nodded and turned away from Juliet, Sawyer following her when Juliet stopped them

Oh I almost forgot! (Both Sawyer and Kate turned back around to face her, their reactions curious, Juliet continued pulling out a small piece of paper, and she handed it to Kate) I know its early still and you cant see much(Kate unfolded it looking strangely at the black square in the center) But this is your sonogram (she pointed to a gray dot off to the side) Thats your baby...(Kate started to tear up, this whole thing feeling so surreal...Juliet continued) In a few weeks, when your starting to show more, I can run another one for you

Kate was speechless. Trying to hold her emotions at bay, the symbolism of this small dot proof that it was all true. It wasnt just a dream or fantasy. This was the first solid factual evidence of the baby she was carrying inside her--Hers and Sawyers.

Sawyer took the piece of paper from Kate and stared at it blindly. This was real. This was their child. He paused for a moment studying it.

Finally Sawyer nodded back to Juliet in thanks and Juliet added

Well be in touch

She turned around and closed the heavy doors behind her.

Sawyer put his hand around Kates shoulder and they started to walk away. Both of them finally understanding the magnitude of all of this, thinking simultaneously

Things were going to be different now!

Epilogue

Sawyer and Kate had been traveling for almost 2 days. The land was familiar now. Sawyer recognized their golf course and as they walked by it felt different. Kate had suffered from one or two spells of morning sickness and Sawyer was concerned that she wasnt getting the rest she needed. He kept putting the thing he needed to tell her on the back burner. But it was eating up at him and he could not in good conscience keep it from her any longer. Kate was in the lead and they were on the final leg of their journey back to the beach when Sawyer finally piped up...

"Hey Freckles...Hold up a minute!"

Kate looked back at Sawyer curiously and replied...

"Sawyer, were almost there, cant you wait till we get back to the hatch to use the facilities..."

He shook his head and rolled his eyes.

"No..Its not that...(pausing for a moment, he met her gaze...) I gotta talk to you about something..."

Kate was getting a little worried now and met his stare earnestly...

"What is it?"

Sawyer looked down at the ground all of the sudden. He had worked up the courage to stop her, but he hadnt yet figured out the best way to tell her, suddenly his voice became very dry and he opened his mouth, but no words came out..."

Kate stopped and approached him. She was getting concerned and she put her hand on his shoulder...

"Sawyer, what is it? Youre scaring me..."

Sawyer shook his head and met her gaze sadly not knowing how she would feel about this, but he just blurted the words out anyway...

"I have a kid!"

Kate looked confused and was about to ask him to clarify, when he spoke up again...

"Found out when I was in prison..."

Kate looked back at him her head spinning. What did this all mean? She thought. Sawyer continued...

"Turned out the woman who turned me in...One of my cons got knocked up...And she told me abput it 9 months later while I was in prison..."

Kate was miffed by the news Sawyer had just told her, she didnt know he had been in prison, although she should have guessed and she sure would not have thought he had a child with another woman, although that didnt seem so unlikely now either, given his previous lifestyle, and she all the sudden felt sad for him. She didnt know why exactly, but she could tell this was burning him up inside, and probably had been for a long time. Asking carefully...

"Did you love her? This woman?"

Sawyer was hesitant to answer, thinking the truth would make him look like even more of a scoundrel. But he simply shook his head...

"We had some good times (he closed his eyes, opening them to meet Kates) But No...I didnt love her..."

Kate was about to reply when Sawyer continued...

"I never met the kid...my daughter...But I left some money in a savings account for her..."

Kate was touched by his sentiment for someone he had never even met before. She thought he did the right thing. So many parents made the selfish decision by making an oath to try to fix themselves, when in fact they were just lying to themselves and everyone who depended on them. Letting the children get caught up in their own mess. What Sawyer did was honorable, and then best he could at the time. She did not judge him for that. But Kate creased her brow worried all the sudden. Her past fears rising back to the surface. She took his hand in hers and met his troubled gaze...

"Sawyer, why are you telling me this now? Are you having second thoughts about being a father?"

Kate was starting to get emotional again, her eyes clouding up as she nervously tried to focus her gaze on an inanimate object off to the side; she tried to hold it in as best she could.

Sawyer shook his head in answer and caressed her jaw, forcing her to look up at him, his eyes were stormy...

"No baby...I just dont know if I deserve this second chance..."

Kate shook her head at this ridiculous notion and the tears started to flow. Remembering his earlier words to her back at the Hydra station when she tried to run out. And she replied shakily...

"Everyone gets a second chance Sawyer, even you!"

For the first time in his life, Sawyer had real verbal validation that he deserved his redemption too. It was something so foreign to him. Something so surreal that he almost had to step outside his body for a moment to fathom the idea. But when he came back down he saw Kates loving face and he knew that she beleived in him. She meant more to him then she would ever know.

Pulling her mouth up to his, he kissed her fully and sweetly. Pulling away softly to say...

"I love you Kate!"

She smiled and kissed him again...

"I love you too..."

After trekking back down the hill they made their way back to the hatch for a much needed shower. Not much was left working in this place and it was odd to not see anyone there pressing the button anymore, but thankfully, the shower still worked.

The steam rising, Kate slipped out of her dirt-ridden clothes and stepped into the shower. Sawyer joined her moments later and started to wash her hair and lather her up. Her body was so beautiful he thought, he could never get over how breathtaking she was and the dirt and sod dripped down from her skin into the drain below.

Sawyer turned around and let Kate wash him too. The same gray matter falling down the drain and he turned around looking back at her feeling a sense of renewal and cleansing. Sawyer bent his head down to kiss her and Kate wantingly took him in. She was getting another one of her cravings again, and it wasnt for food. Kissing him back fully, she ran her fingers down his back and cupped his ass in her hands. He moved his mouth to her neck and just him being in close proximity to her breasts made them harden before he even touched them.

Kate looked down and noticed her breasts werent the only things to harden as stiffness rose up in-between her thighs. She rubbed up against him and pressed him back against the shower wall. Sawyer stifled a groan as he felt Kate tease him. His hard cock pressing up against her wet folds.

But then she sank down. His hard thick length brushing up against her skin as she slid down slowly. Grazing her navel, then abdomen, then in-between her breasts, against her neck and then finally touching her lips, as her knees touched the shower floor.

Kate kissed his velvety tip softly and then she slowly ran her tongue along his hard head and length. The torture was unbearable for Sawyer as he watched what her mouth was doing to him. And then she plunged in around his hardness sucking and licking in all the sensitive places.

Her pressure was getting to be too much for him and he couldnt hold off much longer. He moved to pull out feeling his release just mere moments away, but Kate pressed his hips firmly back against the shower wall. He couldnt help but cum in her mouth and she licked it all away kissing the last of it with her soft lips.

Sawyer stood there breathless amazed at what this woman could do to him and then he pulled her up...

"My turn Freckles"

He replied as he kissed her tender nipples, plunging his mouth in around them. He used his hand to graze downwards into her velvety folds. Feeling a wetness already seeping through he rubbed her clit with his hand. Kate moaned and met his gaze lucidly. He just smiled and kissed each breast before going down on his knees. Sawyer trailed kisses along her stomach, lingering over her navel before he went down further and then sunk his tongue into her warm sweet depths. He found her clit immediately and began stroking it with his tongue. Lifting Kates leg up over his shoulder he went in deeper. She started moving with him and he could tell that she was close; finally, he grazed his teeth over her sensitive nub allowing her the release she so desperately craved.

The all night sex odyssey was not yet over as Kate threw their clothes in the washer, and then they made themselves at home in the only single hatch bed to survive the blast.

Sawyer pushed his hard erection into her sensitive and tight sheath, hitting her core. Each stroke taking them deeper and closer to each other and they moved together. Sawyers reserves were bountiful and he felt like he could do this forever. All his pent up feelings and emotions coming out, they prolonged their release till neither one could take it anymore, surrendering at the same time, and he filled her up with his warm liquid seminal fluid, cooling off the fire burning in her core.

When their laundry was finally done they got dressed and made the short treck back to the beach.

"C'mon Freckles...Time to go home..." Sawyer said before they left the hatch.

It was dusk and most people were just finishing dinner. They all crowded around Sawyer and Kate when they noticed them arrive. Each of them too tired to go into great detail about what had happened. But they gave them enough information to fend them off for half a day and then they made their way back to Sawyers tent. Stopping just in front. Sawyer had his hand around Kate and he looked at her...

"Guess we never got around to shacking up together did we Freckles?"

Kate smirked and added...

"Guess you never asked..."

Sawyer smirked back and looked at her coyly...

"Never did care for the conventional way of doin things..."

Kate smiled, wondering how long he could drag this out if she let him, and looked back at him playfully, raising her brows...

"Is this your way of asking me whether or not I want to move in with you Sawyer?"

Sawyer looked back at her through the sides of his eyes, unable to hide his deepening dimples...

"Maybe Freckles...guess that depends on what your answer is..."

Kate just shook her head and flipped her eyes up, thinking how impossible he could really be. Deciding to play with him just a bit, she replied...

"How about No then?"

Sawyer smirked. He had a pretty good idea what she was doing and decided to play along himself...

"Suit yourself FrecklesInvites still open any time if you change your mind..."

He started walking towards his tent and Kate grabbed his hand forcing him to turn back around

Hold it Tex! We havent negotiated how were going to handle those late night cravings yet!

Sawyer smiled knowingly, nodding at her, (he knew exactly what those cravings were and it wasnt something that could be served up on a platter either)pretending to be serious, he answered

No we haventGuess thats pretty important(dimples deepening) And I sure couldnt help you if we were sleepin in separate tents

He looked back at her mischievously and Kate answered

Noyou couldnt

He shook his head, knowing he was going to be the one to give into this match all along

Well then I guess its settledYour movin in with me!

Kate smiled valiantly. Knowing full well that she had won this round. Replying

I can work with that

She took his hand and led him back into his tent, stopping before him, she added

Now about those cravings

Kate pulled him down to her and crushed her lips over his. He kissed her back fully and in the heat of passion continued their all night love-making marathon. Of course Sawyer was doing it all selflessly for Kate and her non-stop cravings.

In the morning Sawyer woke up first, watching Kate sleep and then stir before him. He was mesmerized by her. Her eyes still sleepy as she looked up at him and smiled groggily. Sawyer looked back at her and smiled

Sleep well Freckles?

She smiled and replied dreamily

That depends on what you mean by sleep

A little later that morning, Sawyer found himself walking down the beach. Kate had been talking to some of the people about what had happened with Jack and Sayid and he needed a break from it all. He sat down looking out at the ocean and the sun rising on the horizon line. Finally feeling a sense of peace. A little while later, she found him

Sawyer moved his legs open and invited Kate to sit down with him in his lap. She leaned back against his chest and he wrapped his arms around her. His hands resting on her abdomen where their child now lay in its womb and he felt a sense of completeness at the thought of what they made together. What this child represented.

Kate smiled touched by his gesture and acceptance of this small innocent life growing inside her. Who knew what the future would bring for them, but she didnt think their circumstances could change what they had here in this moment. Everything she cherished most was here with her right now. Kate enveloped her fingers around Sawyers, resting her hands over his, and she asked curiously

So do you want it to be a girl or boy?

Sawyer paused for a moment before replying. Kate thought Sawyer would most likely say boy, because he seemed like the masculine type, but was surprised by his answer

Girljust like you!

Kate blushed pausing for a moment before she looked back at him, kissing him sweetly

Kate finally turned around to look back at the horizon, Sawyers gaze falling on the same spot as hers and he wrapped his arms around her more securely.

She didnt tell Sawyer the answer to her own question, but Kate secretly hoped it would be a blonde haired, wild little boy, with killer dimples just like his daddy.

But only time would tell.
