Day 57 - Wednesday, 9 March 2005
Jack isn’t feeling very well, his head hurts, his muscles ache and he’s so damn cold; on top of that he’s sleeping alone because he can’t pass the fever on Kate or little Aaron.
Kate is taking care of him the best she can without neglecting the baby, she has made him his favorite soup, she has taken his temperature twice, she has helped him to wash, she has read the newspaper to him and now she’s trying to find a solution for Aaron so that she might take care of him full time.
He calls for her, she puts Aaron in the stroller and brings him a glass of orange juice, “Here, drink this, it’ll only do good”, she helps him drink and then she puts the glass on the nightstand.
“Kate, I don’t want you to find a temporary baby sitter for Aaron, he can stay but we’ve to be careful so I don’t pass the fever on him, or you” he affirms, she shakes her head “I’ve made up my mind, I have already called Hurley, he’ll keep the baby for a few days. It’s better if I deal with you properly, alone, and then we bring him home”.
“Your tone doesn’t admit protests” he manages to joke, she smiles and says “No, I’m the boss these days and you’ll do as I say, ok?”.
“Whatever you say, boss” he whispers.
The door bell rings and Kate goes to open the door, Hurley is on the other side, all excited to have Aaron for a few days, Kate let him in and explain him all he needs to know to take care of the baby and Hurley eagerly listens to her.
Once she’s sure she has told us everything she picks up a still sleeping Aaron and hands him over to Hurley saying “Bye bye baby, mommy will pick you up in a couple of days, I love you”.
She says goodbye to Hurley as well and then she returns to her sick boyfriend.
