Chapter One

Claire looked out to sea and continued looking for a ship or any sign of hope for getting off of the island. Thoughts had been haunting her for days now.

How am I to take care of a baby on an island that is probably not known to anyone? I don't know where he will sleep, how I will feed her when I am done nursing. Babes can't have seafood until they are at least 2. Charlie has been so helpful. With him being a rock star and all, he is probably caught up in thinking about some girlfriend. I can't just rely on him. And what about Sawyer? I don't know how he will react to a screaming baby. He could do something…

Charlie walked over to Claire, with a big grin on his face.

"How did you like the peanut butter?"

"Scrumptious, actually." Claire chuckled. Charlie had been so kind to make the effort with the peanut butter, even if he was unsuccessful.

"How do you feel?" Charlie pointed to her belly.

"Jack says any day now."

"Got an idea for a name?"

"Well, I have always liked the name Charlie." She smiled.

"Up for a swim?" He asked, spontaneously.

"I am nearly 9 months pregnant!"

"Just a little dip. We won't go in too deep." He winked.

" What will I wear?"

"Nothing."

"Excuse me?" She chuckled.

"Just kidding. I have a t-shirt you can wear."

"I suppose." She smiled her beautiful smile that made Charlie get warmed up inside.

"Come on, Beautiful." He said flirtatiously. That made Claire think.

Could he have meant that? He couldn't have. Me being pregnant must turn him off. Maybe he's different.

R & R and I'll post more chapters.
