Chapter 1- Back to You

Hey everyone. I am here with my second fic. I also wrote Hearts Grow Fonder, which was my first fic. I don't own Lost or have any connections with it or the characters. I am just here to keep myself positive about the Claire and Charlie situation. PLEASE Let Claire remember Charlie before the season is over! Ok, so begging done. Here's the new fic from your truly.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Claire." Locke said surprised. Claire looked at Boone and Locke in confusion.

"How do you know me?" She asked stepping back.

"Claire, how did you get free?" Boone asked quickly.

"How do you know me?" Claire repeated.

"Claire, do you remember the plane crash?" Locke asked in a low voice.

"The what?" Claire whispered tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear.

"The plane we were all on crashed." Boone said looking around.

"Where is Ethan?" Locke asked looking her in the eyes.

"Who?" Claire whispered rubbing her very pregnant belly.

"Don't worry about him, Claire." Boone said turning to Locke.

"We need to get her back to camp." Locke stated.

"Everyone will be happy to see you." Boone said turning back to Claire. She looked at him nervously.

"Don't worry, they are nice. You probably don't remember them either, but they remember you." Boone said in reassurance.

"Why am I out here?" Claire asked confused to why she was separated from "everyone."

"We will explain, when we get you to Jack. He is a doctor." Locke said looking at her.

"Do you think you can walk the rest of the way?" Boone asked worried. Claire nodded her head. Locke lead the way with Claire behind him, and Boone behind her. When they were close to camp, Locke turned around.

"Boone, go get Jack." He said walking towards Claire.

"Alright." Boone said as he walked into camp. He saw Jack sitting, drinking water. He also saw Charlie sitting, looking at Claire's bag. Boone wondered whether it would be good to tell Charlie right away.

"Jack." Boone said to get his attention.

"Yeah?" Jack asked looking up.

"I need you to come with me." Boone said looking at him. "And bring the water." Jack walked with him, very confused. When he reached Locke, he saw the reason.

"Claire?" Jack asked walking over and kneeling down in front of her.

"She doesn't remember the crash, or any of us." Boone said to him.

"Claire, I'm Jack. I'm a doctor. Do you mind if I take a look at you?" Claire looked at him.

"No." Claire said allowing him to check her out.

"We need to tell Charlie." Jack said checking Claire's pulse.

"No." Locke said looking at him. "Charlie will just make the situation worse."

"He has the right to know." Jack said looking up at Locke. "He believed her… I didn't."

Locke just looked at Jack, still thinking it was a bad idea.

"Look, we all know that Charlie wants to see her more than anybody, but…"

"But nothing. Charlie needs to know, I can say this as a doctor. Charlie and Claire were the closest, so if anyone is going to help her remember… it will be him." Jack said still looking up at Locke.

"Who is Charlie?" Claire asked, making it known that she was listening.

"He was with you when you were taken by Ethan. You two were friends." Jack explained.

"You said he believed me and you didn't. What did you mean?" Claire asked confused.

"You were sleepwalking one night, and woke up screaming. You had dug your nails a quarter of an inch into your palms. The following night, you woke up screaming. You said someone attacked you. I dismissed it. I thought it was your pregnancy, just making things seem real. I tried to give you a sedative, but it made you upset. You headed back to the beach, so Charlie chased after you. I don't know how, but Ethan took both of you. We found Charlie a few hour later. He had been hung. I barely managed to save him." Jack explained in hopes that she would remember something.

"He almost died?" Claire asked quietly.

"Yeah, he took it upon himself to take care of you. It was hard to get him away at times." Jack said smiling. "Claire, I know you're not feeling well, but Charlie…" Jack paused. "Charlie has missed you, and I feel like he should have been the first to see you."

"It's okay…" Claire said looking him in the eyes.

"Alright, I'll go get him." Jack said smiling.

"Okay…" Claire whispered.

Jack walked back to camp, and walked up to Charlie. He was still looking at her bags, but looked at Jack as he approached.

"Charlie… there is something you need to know." Jack said trying not to smile. Jack failed, because he smiled widely.

"What's got you so happy?" Charlie asked slightly amused.

"Locke and Boone found Claire."

"Where is she?" Charlie asked standing up.

"Charlie… She doesn't remember the plane crash."

"What?" Charlie asked confused.

"She doesn't remember the crash. She has no idea who you are… I explained that you were with her when you were taken, and that you almost died. I also told her you believed her when I didn't." Jack said putting his head down.

"I want to see her."

"Alright, follow me." They walked over to Boone, Locke, and Claire.

"Claire…" Charlie said as he walked over to her. He kneeled down in front of her.

"Oh god, my prayers were answered." Charlie said looking up into her beautiful blue eyes. "I'm sorry I didn't protect you better. I'm so sorry, luv." Claire didn't know what to do. She could tell how much he cared for her. She didn't know what to say. She didn't have to say anything… Charlie understood.

"Claire, I have something for you." Charlie said reaching into his back pocket. He pulled out her diary.

"You wrote in this every day." He said giving it to her. "Maybe it will help you remember." Charlie said managing a smile.

"Thank you." Claire said as she brushed her fingers over the cover of the small blue diary.

"I am going to leave you two alone." Jack said walking away.

"Boone, we should let them talk." Locke said, then they walked away.

"I hope your diary helps you remember." She was looking at the diary and smiled at his words.

"I kept your bag safe. It is back at the cave." Charlie looked at her. She was still staring at the diary.

"Is there anything you want to know?" Charlie asked smiling.

"How long have we been here?" She asked looking up at him.

"About a month." Charlie said looking at the ground. Claire noticed how hurt he looked.

"I'm sorry." She said looking at him.

"For what?" He asked confused.

"I don't remember you… I know it's hurting you."

"It's not your fault, luv. Besides, you will remember in time." Charlie said faking a smile.

"I hope so." Claire said looking at her diary again. She opened it.

"Do you want me to leave?" Charlie asked, even though he didn't want to.

"No… stay. You can help me try to remember." Claire said looking into his loving eyes.
