Chapter 1:Claire knows why
The sun was blazing, as usual, but instead of lounging lazily on the beach Shannon was vomiting for ten minutes. She had been feeling sleepy all day but she found inside her the energy to run to the ocean on her swollen feet. "The only good thing about this island is I'm growing," she whispered to herself. "Not like any hot guys can see them if I'm on this dumb piece of beach and forest!" Shannon said to herself as she strolled back to the shore.
Sayid had been keeping a close watch on her all day. He was worried about her and a bit annoyed of her complaining. All day she had been whining about how she needed some real food or how much her head was hurting. Also, if she wasn't sleeping she'd fret about her back being in pain. "Shannon, we all hurt and want a TV Dinner right now, but we only have what Jin and Locke catch for us."Sayid explained over and over. The Iraqi soldier approached Jack to ask for help with Shannon. "She says her back is hurting maybe you know what's going on?" the back surgeon followed Sayid to where Shannon resided.
"You woke me up!" she yelled at Jack. "Now I'll never get back to sleep, uuummm, can someone help me to the bathroom, like now!" Sayid lifted her and ran her to an isolated area in the forest. "Don't leave me here!" Shannon shouted after Sayid as he began to leave her her privacy. "I'll get eaten." Sayid kept his distance but not so far that she couldn't see him.
Claire sat in a cave admiring her new birthday present. She rocked it back and forth. "Locke really did a good job making that cradle for you Claire." Claire lifted her head and stared into the eyes of her friend Charlie.
"You mean for us," Claire replied, smiling and refocusing her eyes on the cradle. Charlie sat down next to her smiling bigger than he had in his whole life.
"Boone, you might want to talk to Shannon she's been feeling really crappy today." said the wise old man and newly discovered carpenter. John Locke looked down and saw Clarie smiling at her cradle.
"Thank you Locke," said Charlie, who was still smiling insanely huge.
"Your welcome," the hunter replied.
"Excuse me, you said that Shannon was feeling bad, where is she?" Claire questioned looking up at Locke and Boone.
"She's on the beach with Sayid, near the shore, she's been throwing up."answered Locke who strode into the jungle. Charlie and Boone helped Clarie up. "Wait," she reached down and grabbed her present. They set out through the jungle to the beach and when they got there Charlie went to help Micheal build his new raft.
Claire and Boone found both Sayid and Shannon asleep on the shoreline. "Let's not wake them," said Boone "Shannon is a real bitch when she is woken up." Claire giggled. They sat down and waited for Shannon to wake.
Shannon cracked her eyes open. "What do you want?" snarled Shannon directing her attention on Boone.
"Locke said you were feeling like shit," her brother glared back.
"Okay, let's not have a civil war, Boone can I talk to Shannon alone?" Claire asked.
"Whatever, you must be fine if your still being a bitch!" Boone walked away and Shannon rolled her eyes. Sayid woke up and he left the girls alone as well.
"So, you've been throwing up, urinating a lot, you have swollen breasts and feet," Claire trailed off.
"So what?" Shannon replied rudely.
"I'm just trying to help," Claire said firmly.
"Who can you help! You're pregnant!" Shannon yelled.
"Well so are you!" Claire yelled back.
"What did you say?" Shannon calmed.
"I think you might be pregnant, when I was in the beginning of my pregnancy I was feeling the same crappy way," Claire informed the ditsy blonde girl.
"I'm not pregnant! Who would be the father?" Shannon asked.
"I didn't know you before the crash don't ask me that," Claire said with a sort of shocking expression.
"You really think I'm pregnant," Shannon stared at the ocean. The last person she'd had made love to was her own step brother. "No I can't be pregnant!"
