Last Chance

by AwesomeAuror

Originally by Damon's Future Wife. Claire has always had doubts about being a mother. But when she acts on an impulse, will she destroy everything she has? How will Charlie take it? And what happens when some unexpected people of the past come and visit?

Note to readers: You're probably a bit confused right now. And that's okay, because I'm going to try to explain it to you.

Yes, this story used to belong to Damon's Future Wife. I beta-d it, and when she said inspiration was rock-bottom and she wanted to pull it, she offered it to me. And I had grown pretty attached to the wonderful web of Charlie and Claire and Aaron she spun. I admit it, I was eager to take on the task of finishing the story she created. So that's what I plan to do.

You may already be familiar with my writing style (I wrote chapter four, The Wedding previously), or you may not be. Either way, I hope you decide to continue with it. I did.

Chapters one to six will remain the same. From there on, it'll be all me. The only change to the original is the prequel below.

So, readers old and new alike, let's delve deep into the fluffy goodness of LOST FanFiction. I hope I can stand up to the high expectations that Damon's Future Wife set. And if you're missing her, keep on the lookout for her new LOST FanFic coming soon.

Disclaimer: You've got to be kidding. Do I look like the epicness that is Damon and Carlton? N-O. LOST belongs to them, as well as ABC and Bad Robot and whomever else. I just enjoy dabbling in their world. *smiles maniacally*

Of Things To Come

Wind sways the palm trees dotting the jungle's edge. Waves crash onto the sandy shore, leaving their wet trail. The sun shines brightly overhead, warming those clustered around the beach.

They're back. Back where it all started; back were they had begun. It should not be a surprise, should it? They knew it was coming. They knew they could not escape its grasp forever. But they could not help dreaming, could they?
