Title: And This Is How Accidents Happen
Fandom: Lost
Characters/Pairings: Kate/Sayid, sort of.
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 189
Author's Note: I owe this to
raisingirl99 from like October, so here it is. You wanted happy fic, this is not it, let that be a warning. I tried.
Summary: AU, post-island. Kate has a selfish streak; this is it.
Sayid handles it calmly.
At least, he handles it calmly for a man who walks into a grocery store and finds out he has a three year old.
She hadn’t ever meant to tell him. She hadn’t even meant to see him.
Then again Kate hadn’t meant to sleep with him either.
She doesn’t give him the chance to start talking about taking responsibility for his actions and helping her in any way he can. It’s automatic for him, otherwise he wouldn’t be saying it. It would never work. If there’s anyone who could figure that out, anyone who thinks like her, then it would be him.
She’s still on the run. And he’s smart and he’s forgiving and he’s also never going with her. She wouldn’t want him to. This isn’t Jack and it isn’t Sawyer and it isn’t the same relationship she had with them. This was an ill-timed accident.
She loves her son, every mother loves their child, it’s innate and you can’t avoid it, but not enough for her to stick around so he can know his father. Not with her freedom on the line.
