Happy Ending

He's gone. I still can't believe it. He has just walked out of my life,out of our life. All because of s

Sawyer and his promise,if only I could explain him that this has absolutely nothing to do with us,with our life. These kinds of thought were running through Kate's head and she almost felt sick with the overwhelming emotions she had experienced in the last minutes: joy for the upcoming wedding, fear for the future she was going to share with his soon to be husband,anger for Jack's stubbornness, pain for Jack's words about their relationship and Aaron. But now she feels pratically emotionless,like she is no longer Kate Austen but nothing,because without Jack she doesn't feel anything,but she has to be strong,for Aaron,for her and for the little source of joy she wasn't able to share with Jack. Today was supposed to be one of the greatest day of her life and instead it was turned in one of his worst nightmare. But she was not going to gave up,so she she picked up the phone and tried to call Veronica,Aaron's nanny but she wasn't available. Kate even thought to bring her son along with her,but she decided against it since she and Jack really need to talk without anyone interrupting them in any possible way. She decided to do the last thing she would ever done: she called her mother asking her to babysit her grandson because she really needed to do something and she couldn't wait anymore. She obviously agreed immediately since she was eager to meet Aaron and she hoped this would help to fix things with her daughter. Kate kept pacing around the room waiting for her mother to show up when the doorbell rang. She almost ran to door,already ready lo leave as soon as she opened the door when she was stunned by what or better who was standing in front of her: Jack! She was totally speechless,she wasn't expecting that! She didn't even have the time to open her mouth that he grabbed her and started to kiss her. That kiss was a mixture feelings,it was sweet and yet passionate,it was a let's-forget-everything-that-has-happened and yet angry,she was sure she was not going to forget that kiss,ever. When they pulled apart the both exclaimed,at the same time: “I'm sorry!” and they started to laugh together. When the laugh fade he let her talk the first,he's always a gentleman even if when he's a little bit drunken. Kate started: “This is all my fault,I've should have told you earlier I was doing Sawyer a favor but this has absolutely no romantic connotation,it's just a thing I've promised to a friend,because that's what Sawyer is to me,a friend nothing more if I hadn't been this way right now I would have been on the island not projecting our wedding” and carrying our child she silently added when she stopped speaking. She looked at him,afraid of what he might say but her heart missed a beat when she watched the expression of pure joy spreading over his face and she realized he understood what she had been careful to add silently and he asked with eyes glimmering with tears “Kate,are you pregnant?” she couldn't find the strength to answer so she just nodded. He lifted her from the ground and took her in their bedroom already ready to make up when the doorbell rang. “Damn'it who's now?” he asked already running downstairs and Kate answered “It's my mother” causing Jack to look at her with a puzzled expression to which she replied “I'll explain later just don't tell anything about Aaron,she believes the 'official' story of the oceanic six” he nodded and let her opened the door. Diane Austen was a little confused when her daughter's door was opened: what was that doctor doing in Kate's house? Wasn't he the doctor that testify to her trial? Did she miss something? Kate,understood her mother's doubts,filled her in with the missing informations “Mum,this is Jack Shepard,the doctor I've met during the crash and that was at my trial...” she finished the sentence when she closed the door while the other two were exchanging hands, then she added casually “...and we're going to marry during the year”. Now Diane was completely speechless and a little hurt that she was given the news so randomly like she was some stranger,but to her Katherine she is a stranger now,she had been since she denounced her crime,since she had chosen her father over her but now she promised herself to try to fix this mess so she politely answered: “Nice to meet you Jack,and congratulations on the upcoming event”. They all headed to the kitchen where Jack started to make coffee while Kate was trying to explain her mother that she didn't need her help anymore;after seeing the painful expression on her mother face she decided to let her mother know his son,one of them so she went upstairs and took the little Aaron from his bed and introduced him to her mother “This is Aaron,my son” then she asked the boy to say hi to his grandmother. Jack offered to bring him to bed so the two women could have a little time alone,when he was ready to put his nephew-son in his bed the little boy called him 'daddy' and then asked for a story. Jack was more than happy to do that and he started to tell him a story not from the fairytale book but from real life book:his&kate's. Downstairs Diane was congratulating to her daughter: “He's a fascinating man,very handsome too I could add” “I know,I'm very lucky I would be lost without him”,Diane realized it was time to leave so she excused herself while heading to the door “Now,I really have to go. You have an amazing family,protect it,you deserve happiness. See you soon,I hope.” Kate was puzzled,is this woman really her mother? She decided to trust her so she nod and added “I'll call you,I think I'll need an help with the wedding” then they hugged and Diane left. Kate headed upstairs and heard Jack reading to their son,but as soon as she approached his room she realized she was wrong: he wasn't reading....Jack was telling their story! She slowly approached him and she sat in his lap while he caressed her belly,Aaron was asleep by now but Jack kept telling the story,he loved this one because finally he had found a real life story with an happy ending...theirs!
