Summary: Natalie had been stranded on the island three years when the plane crashed. When she ventures to the beach and sees the survivors she is drawn to keep coming back until she id discovered and brought back to meet two of the last people she ever thought she would see again.
"Excuse me did you say your sister?" Sayid asked.
"Yeah, Natalie is my sister," Jack said. "We thought she was dead, her plane disappeared three years ago, the plane was never found," Jack explained.
"Oh, well I'll leave you two to talk then, I'm sure you have some catching up to do." Sayid said and left.
"Natalie," Jack said and he pulled her to him and hugged her. Natalie returned the hug. "I wish I had known, I would have looked for you." He said and looked at her, "Everyone said it was no use looking for you because we would never find you and you were most likely dead anyway. I shouldn't have believed them I knew you weren't dead," Jack said. "I'm sorry I didn't try to find you."
"Jack slow down, its ok. I'm basically ok," She assured him.
"Yeah but you've been here alone for three years. Sit down and tell me are there anymore survivors of your crash."
"I don't think so, we lost touch not long after the crash. I've been on my own pretty much since the crash."
"Oh. I'm sorry Nattie," Jack said. "I should have done something more."
"There was nothing you could have done," Natalie told him. "So tell me how's Mom and Daddy."
"Mom she's good. But Dad, Natalie Dad is dead."
"What?" she asked tears in her eyes.
"That's why I was in Australia, I was looking for him. He's gone now." Jack told her. "I was bringing his body back when we crashed."
"Wow I find my brother and loose my dad all in the same day," she said and a tear ran down her cheek.
"I'm sorry Natalie," Jack said and he wiped the tear away.
"I know Dad was always hard on you Jack and that you think he didn't really love you and that he wasn't proud of you but he was."
"No he wasn't, He was always telling everyone about you. He was so proud of you Nattie."
"Even though I didn't become doctor like he wanted?"
"Yeah," Jack said. "I would really like it if you stayed with us, I've missed you and now that you're back and alive and all that, I don't want to risk losing you again," he added. "So will you stay?"
"For now I will, but you have to understand that there may come a time when I have to go and your going to have to let me if that time comes and not ask any questions."
"Ok then," Jack said smiling and pulled her into another hug.
Sayid was further down on the beach, when he ran into Sawyer.
"Well Ali, returned from the jungle of mystery already, find what you were looking for?" he asked rudely and Sayid stopped
"No, I found something better."
"What?"
"I think who is the better question."
"Who?" Sawyer asked.
"Jack's sister," Sayid said and walked off.
"Jack has a sister," Sawyer said and his curiosity getting the better of him went to find Jack to see for himself.
When Sawyer found Jack he was talking to a girl that he hadn't seen on the beach before, not that he had actually paid attention to who everyone was. Jack and the girl started walking toward the beach, which meant they were heading his way. From what he could tell she was pretty, a little on the short side but pretty.
"Hey Doc," Sawyer said when they got close to him and he glanced at Natalie, she glanced over at him.
"Sawyer," he said. "Natalie this is Sawyer, the guy you should stay away from." he said, "No one likes him," Jack whispered to her.
"Hi Sawyer," Natalie said smiling at him. "Wow he's hot," Natalie thought. She sensed an air of danger around him and she also sensed that he really didn't give a damn about anyone but himself.
"Is she really your sister?" Sawyer asked as his eyes traveled over her body "That's what Sayid said."
"Yes she is," Jack said and walked away. "Come on Natalie."
"Bye," Natalie said and ran to catch up with Jack.
"So Sawyer," she said.
"Has done nothing but cause trouble, just stay away from him Ok Natalie," he said and she nodded but Jack had a feeling she wouldn't listen to him.
When they got to the beach they saw Kate talking to Sayid.
"Jack," Kate said when she saw him walking over "Who is that with him?"
"His sister Natalie," Sayid answered.
"His sister," Kate repeated as they stopped in front of them.
"Hey Kate, This is my sister Natalie, this is Kate."
"Hey," she said.
"I thought you were alone on the plane," Kate stated.
"I was," Jack said.
"Then your sister, how is it she's here?"
"Jack, doing this over and over again is going to get old. I mean how many times am I going to have to do this?" she asked. "It would be better if I just left and went back."
"No," Jack and Sayid said.
"I want you to stay there's a meeting tonight, I'll introduce you to everyone at the same time," Jack said
I have some questions for you since you've been here three years as well," Sayid said.
"Three years," Kate said stunned.
"Yes," Sayid said. "Spread the word and we'll have a meeting."
Later that evening, everyone gathered for the meeting.
"Alright I've called you all here for a specific reason," Jack said. "There has been a new edition to our camp. Today Sayid found a girl in the jungle. A girl that had been stranded here for three years. She's here now and I want you to all meet her. My sister Natalie," Jack said. "Come on Natalie," Jack said and she walked over. "That's all I wanted to do," he added and walked off, Natalie quickly followed him. Sayid was right behind them
"Natalie," he said and she stopped. "Can I talk to you?"
"Sure Sayid, I'll find you later ok Jack."
"Ok," he said nodding.
"I wonder if I could ask you some questions," Sayid said.
"I don't know if I have any answers but I'll try, you reunited me with my brother so I kind of owe you."
"Alright do you have any idea what this monster, this thing that lives in the jungle is?"
"I have many ideas, one is as ridiculous as the next. But then again I've lived here for three years and noticed things, seen things that aren't normal."
"Like?"
"A polar bear." Natalie said.
"Oh."
"I hear voices sometimes and it sounds like they're all around me but no one's there and I know that," Natalie said. "Sometimes I think I'm going crazy."
"I don't think your crazy," Sayid told her.
"So you've never seen the monster?"
"No, I probably wouldn't be alive if I had."
"That's what I thought."
"Anything else?" Natalie asked.
"Not know, but maybe later on."
"Alright," Natalie said and walked off.
"So Princess how did you survive here three years all on your own?" someone said and she turned around.
"Sawyer, you say that like you doubt I could survive."
"Well Princess, you don't seem like the ruthless and mean type," he said smiling. "He would have dimples," she thought
"First off do not call me Princess," she told him. "And you don't know me Sawyer so you have no idea what I'm capable of doing."
"True Shortcake," he said.
"When you're stranded, with no way of escaping, you learn you have to do what you have to do to survive. Survival of the fittest." Natalie told him.
"Alrighty Shortcake," Sawyer said. "Answer this, What is this thing that keeps making noise in the jungle."
"Like I told Sayid I don't know," Natalie said and walked away.
The next day Natalie woke up and saw Jack not to far from her, he was already up of course, she doubted whether he had slept at all.
"Morning," Jack said.
"Yeah Morning Jack," she said getting up. She washed her face and ran her fingers through her hair.
"I'm just going to take a walk alright," she said and Jack nodded.
Natalie didn't want Jack to know but she was hoping she might run into Sawyer on her walk. She knew Jack said no one here liked Sawyer and that she should just stay away from him but he intrigued her. He was sexy and to old for her but still, there seemed to be more going on than he wanted to admit. She sighed and walked on. She saw Sawyer coming out of his tent.
"Morning Shortcake," he called and she looked over at him.
"Its Natalie," she told him walking over. She peeked into his tent. "Wow you have a lot of stuff in there, what are you some kind of pack rat?"
"No, I'm resourceful," he said and she rolled her eyes.
"So you're a thief," she said. "This stuff belongs to someone, its not yours," she said.
"I think its called finders keepers Sweetheart," he said smiling and she rolled her eyes at him. "Don't roll your pretty green eyes at me sweetheart," he said.
"Maybe everyone is right to not like you," she said and walked off.
She had gotten a few feet away when she heard someone call her name.
"Natalie," he called and she stopped. She knew that voice and she turned around. She knew those blue eyes.
"Boone," she said, "Boone Carlyle," she added and she flashed back to a time a little over three years ago. Her and Boone were together, his lips were on hers then on her neck as she ran her hands across his bare chest. She snapped out of her thoughts
"Natalie," Boone said and a smile broke out on his face. "I knew it was you, I couldn't believe it. I thought I had lost you forever," he said and he stepped closer to her and grabbed her hand. She jerked it away.
"Natalie what is it?" Boone said. "Do you know how often I've though about you, I missed you."
"Sure you have that's why you called me Shannon when we were in bed together," she said putting her hands on her hips.
"Natalie, Shannon, she…"
"Don't tell me Shannon means nothing to you because it's a lie. I thought you actually did love me I was just a replacement for her. You'll never have anything real with any girl until you let go of Shannon, your step-sister," Natalie told him.
"Natalie," he said and he ran his fingers through her wavy blonde hair.
"Don't Boone," she said stepping away from him. "You called another girls name when we were in bed together and you never even said you were sorry."
"That's because you didn't give me a chance, you flew out of my life and I never saw you again, I thought you were dead that's what everyone thought," he said. "But I am sorry Natalie," he said softly.
"It doesn't matter Boone. I promised myself that if I saw you again I would do something,"
"What?" he asked
"This," she said and slapped him across the face and she walked off leaving Boone stunned.
