"What do you mean, 'get out of your way'!"

"Shannon, we are busy. As much as I would love to talk with you, I am working," Sayid comforted her as he helped Hurley and Charlie lift one of the larger pieces of the fuselage to be transported to the meadow, where they were currently trying to build some type of structure. They'd been working on said structure for almost two weeks and Shannon was sick of being ignored.

"But…"

"Shannon."

Shannon wanted to ignore the stern tone in his voice, but knew from experience that there was no getting around it. "Fine. I'll find something to do."

Now that they'd gotten the fuselage upright, they had to move it a hundred feet into the jungle to the meadow. Before they could do that though, Sayid had something else to do.

"Shannon."

"What?"

Sayid leaned over and placed a hard kiss on her mouth. Just as every time before, the heat flared between them. Before it got too out of hand though, Charlie and Hurley started to cough, not because they were choking but to keep those two from getting out of hand. They had gotten into the little habit of doing that. "Be good."

"When aren't I good?" Shannon asked cheekily, remembering last night when she had decidedly been NOT good (in a purely good way).

Sayid only smiled as he returned to his task. Without him to occupy her time, Shannon was at loose ends. She started to return to her and Sayid's tent when she noticed that Sun, Kate, and Claire were sitting alone by a stand of trees down shore. On impulse she decided to join them. They were, after all, the only friends she felt she had on the damn island.

"Hey!" She called out to them when she got close. It was a bit of a test. If they didn't respond in kind, she'd make an excuse up and keep going. They might not be in the mood for company from her.

"Hey, back!" Claire called out enthusiastically.

"Are you bored too?" Kate asked. Shannon nodded and came to a stop next to him.

"What are you guys doing?"

"Talking about babies," Claire stated confidentially.

"Damn, look at the time. Gotta go…" Shannon turned and started to walk away but Claire caught her hand and pulled her down next to her.

"You're not going anywhere. I happen to know that you like children. Look how Adrian loves you." It was true. Adrian did love Shannon. From where she sat on her mother's lap she held out her arms to Shannon, who obligingly took her from the petite blonde.

"So?"

"So what?"

"Are you going to keep talking or are we just going to sit here in silence?"

Kate looked uncomfortable for a few moments, and Sun tried to explain. "We were discussing something…very sensitive."

"Don't want Jack to deliver your baby?" Shannon asked understandably.

"How did you know that?" Kate asked shocked.

"It's kinda obvious. Don't get me wrong though! I wouldn't want some dude I'd have to stare at for God knows how long looking at my cooter."

"Cooter?" Sun asked confused.

"Uh…that area. You know. THERE."

"Oh!"

"Yeah."

"I didn't think I was that obvious about it."

"Not really. Only a woman would notice and since there aren't many women…"

"Still. I feel like I should explain."

Claire and Shannon glanced at each other for a few seconds before bursting out at the same time, "So explain."

"I don't know how."

Shannon laughed at Kate's face and reached over to pat her hand. "Go ahead and try. I love gossip."

"You're not going to tell anyone?"

"Nah, that would be mean."

"Okay…um…"

Mwuhaha! I am back! Fear me! Okay, for those who haven't read me before, this is the fourth story in a series entitled Shannon. It is most definitely necessary for you to read the first three stories before you read this. There will be a lot of references to things that have changed on the island during those stories.

To my old fans…I love you all and I hope you enjoy the show. This one is focusing on humor rather than action/adventure. But, still, I hope you enjoy.

FYI There will be no flashbacks in this story…sorry guys.
