This is an engaging story. I particularly liked the chapter "I'm not that kind of doctor" and the raw yet matter-of-fact tone it had. Also, I liked the ambiguity of the ending. Well done! Thanks for sharing this.
Oh this fic is wonderful.... It was heartbreaking when she did the abortion, I kept saying "no no no"...the ending was wonderful, they finally told each other...amazing fic! thanks for writing it!
The abortion...yeah, I knew that was risky to write and most people wouldn't like it, but honestly I can't see Island Kate ever thinking a pregnancy was a good thing (regardless of whether or not she'd want to be pregnant were the situation different - which I believe she could be). I've seen so many pregnancy fics end happily with baby and Mommy...and the Kate we're shown on the show I just can't connect with that outcome.
Hah, sorry for the ramble there ;) Glad you liked the fic.
I completely see what you are saying...this outcome is very real and it does fit our island Kate...but it's just very sad...so there is a battle between what is true to the character and what we'd like to see...
I do however see Kate and Sawyer having a baby under different circumstances..I think it'd be smth that could help them both :)
Oh, yes, it's definitely very sad. As a mom myself, it was particularly painful to write. I also don't think it's truly what Kate wanted...but there was essentially (in her mind, at least) no other choice.
I'd actually like to see them explore a *possible* pregnancy (which they've touched on, albeit briefly, in the finale already)...Not sure where I stand on a confirmed pregnancy, though. It could either help them both or irrevocably damage them. (And oh, their poor child!)
I've always figured things have to come from Kate in this relationship. Yeah, sure, he could offer to run with her/help her run...But I don't see her saying yes to that. Unfortunately for Sawyer, things have to be on her terms or not at all, most of the time :/
Ooh, I'd love to see a Sawyer-Kate confrontation about the toy plane someday. I think Sawyer would get it so much better than Jack did (I so hate that scene, how cold he is to her after she reveals who the plane belonged to...)
And you're too sweet; this is perhaps the most flattering feedback I've ever received :) Thank you!

Love the line “Or, James...we could run.”
