Title: Baby Blues
Author: Typhoid-love
Rating: K+, because this is meant to be cute.
Summary: Shannon has been avoiding Sayid and he has no idea why. He's in for a big surprise.
Disclaimer: If I owned Lost I would not be writing fanfiction about it... I would be making Shannon still alive! (Pfft, damn writers)
Authors Note: I wrote this fic dedicated to all the peeps who are still depressed over Shannon's death like I am. I'm like really pissed off at the writers because I just found out that the only reason they killed off Shannon was so that Sayid's attitude would change. WTF! Screw you, morbid LOST writers who hate everything that is good.
UPDATE, 5/23/11: I'm fixing some spelling errors. I will be doing the same for the rest of the chapters.
Sayid honestly didn't know what he did wrong. Over the past month he thought he had been doing things right with Shannon. He finally thought things after Boone's death were going to be okay. But apparently he was wrong. It happened just the other day; he went to check on Shannon because one of the islanders had told him she had thrown up. Shockingly, she burst in to tears once she saw him. He had tried comforting her but nothing he said calmed her down. Now, she avoided him like the plague. It even went to the point where he was sleeping alone at night now.
With an aggravated sigh, Sayid roughly ran a hand through his hair as he walked down the shore. He didn't know how much more of this he could take; he missed her. He missed her more than he'd ever missed someone before and the worst part was that Shannon was within his reach but she was pulling away from him again. He was afraid that she was falling into her depression again and he wanted to save her.
It was maddening really. He was close to losing his mind. He needed her. He needed her more than anything.
"Sayid!" All thoughts were interrupted when Charlie's panicked voice echoed in the air.
Sayid looked up to see Charlie running over to him. He suddenly got a sinking feeling in his stomach.
"What it wrong?" He asked the blonde man in worry.
Charlie took a moment to catch his breath. "You have to come to the caves." He took in another breath. "Shannon fainted."
Sayid immediately forgot about his previous thoughts and he ran towards the caves at top speed. Just the thought of Shannon being hurt was sending him into a frenzy. His heart thundered against his chest and he felt like he was going to burst.
He ran into the caves and stopped when he saw Shannon sitting up on the floor and Jack was talking to her gently. She looked up and smiled softly when she saw him. It was the first time he had seen her smile in days. He walked over breathing heavily.
"Sayid, I told them not to worry you." Shannon told him when he kneeled down to her.
"It is fine." He reassured then looked over to Jack. "What happened?"
"Well, it seems that the sun finally got to Shannon and she fainted." The doctor replied and Sayid could tell that he wasn't telling him everything. Before he could question him, Jack spoke again. "I'll leave you two alone. Shannon, remember to drink more water." And with that the good doctor left the two lovers alone.
Sayid felt Shannon take his hand and squeeze it lightly. He looked down at her and momentarily forgot about her strange behavior over the past few days. He leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"Do you need anything?" He asked brushing some hair out of her face.
"No, I just want you to stay here with me." She responded smiling up at him.
Sayid returned the smile. "So, does this mean you are no longer angry with me?" He asked with light humor.
Shannon laughed softly. "I was never mad at you. I've just been… moody lately." She said bowing her head for a moment. "Do you forgive me?" She asked looking up at him with innocent eyes.
Sayid's smile somehow grew. "Of course I forgive you." He told her before bringing her into his arms. He buried his face into her shoulder and took in her scent; she always smelled like sweat and fruits. "I've missed you." He whispered against her skin.
"I'm sorry." She spoke softly and sadly.
"Stop apologizing." He murmured to her.
"I can't help it. I feel guilty." Shannon said in a somewhat shaky voice.
Sayid pulled back and looked deeply in his lovers eyes. He hated seeing the guilt in them. "You do not need to feel guilty." He told her soothingly and he only felt his heart sink once he saw tears well up in her beautiful eyes.
"Yes, I do." She spoke as more tears shined her eyes. Sayid did not like this one bit. "I've been keeping something from you."
A look of confusion crossed his features. "You have?"
"Yes, I have." Shannon replied ashamedly.
"What is it, Shannon?" Sayid asked almost wearily. He could help but feel somewhat uneasy about this.
Shannon chewed on her bottom lip and didn't answer him at first. It only caused Sayid to become more uneasy. "Okay, I'm just going to say it…" She breathed out.
"Yes, please do." Sayid motivated as he mentally braced himself for what would come next.
It seemed like forever but Shannon finally spoke again. "I'm pregnant."
Do the right thing: review. Oh and this is NOT a one-shot.
