Hey guys, I have come to realize there isn't much further that I can take this fic. So I'm sorry if this chapter seems rushed, but I wanted to finish it. I have two stories in mind that i may put up on here. Both are set season 5. One is about the O6, and them getting back, and the other is the left behinders, with a bit of a twist. So your thoughts on those if you would like me to write them, tell me when you review. I could've made this chapter longer, by having Kate's journey with Sam to the hotel, but I didn't think it necessary. So a big thank you to all of you who have reviewed and stayed dedicated to this fic, for the last time, i hope you enjoy...

Once out in the hallway Kate was standing against the wall waiting for Jack, who came out and stood opposite her. He let out a breath, and then looked at her, eyes unsure and questioning. Kate did not break eye contact; Jack did however, once he looked down.

Kate: "What- What is it Jack."

Jack looks up to the ceiling.

Jack: "I dunno- I guess, I guess I still can't believe I'm here…"

Kate smiles a little, Jack looks at her.

Kate: "Me neither- I'm just glad that you are." She says quietly.

Jack would not look at her, Kate begins to worry, what she hears next overwhelms her; a strangled sob escapes from Jack. He covers his face with his right arm, not able to look at her. He was looking at the ceiling and to the right of him, anywhere but at her. Tears spring to her eyes, seeing him like this, not knowing what to do, not knowing what he was really upset over.

Jack: "I never should have left- I shouldn't have believed him- I should have…"

Kate steps forward slightly, placing her hands on his arm, pulling it down gently away from his face. He looks away from her, a tear escapes her eye, as she cups his face in her hands, and he finally looks at her, broken and ashamed.

Kate: "The most important thing is that you're here now. You're here- and I still love you."

Jack squeezes his eyes shut, tears escaping; he lets out a shaky breath, and then manages a smile. He opens his eyes and looks at her with such love and devotion, and a promise, telling her that he would always be with her from now on.

Jack: "I…"

Kate smiles, nodding more tears escaping, she smiles, cupping his face tighter, her face nearing his, and she places her lips on his. Connected once more, both fires re-ignited, bodies relax, kisses slow. Kate's arms wrap around Jacks neck and his around her waist. He pulls her closer, like he has many a times before, this time needing her more than ever. Tongues meet and dance as if they had never parted. Heads come to rest on one another, once the need for oxygen became obligatory.

Jack: "I love you." He says more strongly now.

Kate nods again, and smiles, as she looks up at Jack. His hand caressing her cheek, she leans into his touch.

Jack: "What now…"

Kate gives him a reassuring smile, and places a short, but loving kiss on his lips before pulling away from him.

Kate: "Now- I go and take my Dad to his hotel- You can wait for me in the bedroom."

This brings a grin to Jacks face, who grabs Kate's arm as she begins to walk away. He spins her around, and kisses her passionately. He pulls away, leaving a breathless Kate. Jack begins to walk backwards, away to the bedroom; he sees Kate getting her senses back and she smiles as she sees where Jack is.

Jack: "Have a safe drive."

Jack smirks, as Kate raises an eyebrow, then walks away hips swaying, ever so slowly, teasing him. She looks over her shoulder as she reaches the stairs.

Kate: "Don't start anything whilst I'm away."

Kate turns leaving a slightly shocked Jack, but who is now very much aroused.

Kate left and took Sam to his hotel. This allowed Jack time to think, for him to know that this was what he wanted, because once Kate left he felt colder, a piece of him really did feel missing, and he knew that once she returned there was no going back, and he sure as hell never wanted to go back to before. To what he was a few months back, or before then, life without Kate, and Aaron was not living, it was surviving, and without them, that seemed pointless.

For when Kate returned, any worries he may have had vanished. They made love throughout the night, making promises old and new, of their love, and their future, and moving forward from the past, because all that mattered, was them; no more lies between them any more, they were stronger than ever. They were going to be together always... They were finally home.

So there we have it, I hope you enjoyed it, and once more a big thank you if you can please review that will be great! Lauren x
