Part 9

Kate Was running back to the caves with all the alcohol she could find when she heard something. It was Claire Leaning against some rocks.

Kate: Claire, are you okay?

Claire: Yeah I'm fine.

She continued to lean against the rocks as she walked away from Kate.

Kate: Claire?

Claire: I'm fine okay!

She started crying.

Jin was walking by.

Kate: Jin!

Jin walked towards her.

Kate: Claire is having her baby.

Jin: Baby?

Kate: I need you to help me.

Jin: No, no, no.

Kate: Jin, I need you to get Jack.

Jin: Jack?

Kate nodded: Jack.

Jin nodded and ran for the caves.

Kate: Wait!

Kate sighed and went back to Claire when she heard Artie running to the caves.

Kate: Artie! Artie ran over.

Artie: What's up?

Kate: Get this to Jack.

She handed him the bag with Alcohol.

Artie motioning to Claire: What's happening? Kate: Nothing good, hurry.

Artie nodded and left.

Sun: He said Claire is in labor.

Jack: What? No. There is no time.

Artie: Here's the alcohol. I didn't see Shannon or Sayid anywhere.

Artie handed him the pack.

Charlie: I need to go help Claire.

Quinn: I'm with you; she needs as much support as possible. I should know.

Jack: Sun apply these on his wounds save some for my hands. Artie lead Charlie and Quinn back to Claire and Kate. Tell Kate to time the contractions. When they are less than 60 seconds apart have Claire push. Here

He handed Quinn a towel.

Jack: Wrap the baby in this and use this pocket knife to cut the cord.

Quinn: Don't worry I can talk her through it.

Artie, Charlie, Jin, and Quinn left.

Jack: How you doin' Matt?

Matt: I'm okay.

Jack: A couple more seconds and we'll trade.

Matt nodded.

John was above the hatch banging on it angry it was darker than earlier.

Sam and Santana walk up.

Sam: The shows over Locke.

John: What do you mean? I just… I just…

Santana: Baldy don't lie. We already know about this place for weeks.

John: Have you been spying on me?

Santana was about to speak when this happened.

Sam: Yes Mr. Optimistic, but that's beside the point, you lied to the group, there are people on this island hungry hoping you'll get them food. But you're here trying to open a hole in the ground. Now get up before my friend here goes all Lima Heights on your ass, just then a light illuminated from the window of the door. It was so bright all three were shock.

Flash

Quinn: That's 50 seconds.

Kate: Does that mean?

Quinn nodded.

Artie Jin and Charlie were walking behind some bushes giving Kate Claire and Quinn some space.

Charlie: What if something happens? I don't think… I don't.

Jin grabbed hold of Charlie and spoke in Korean to him. And although he didn't understand it calmed him.

Artie: I'm sure everything will be fine and that we have nothing to worry about is probably what he said.

Charlie nodded.

Kate: Alright Claire you have to push now.

Claire: No, no I'm scared.

Quinn: Claire, we're all scared okay. But I promise you. I will be here scared or not. Now push.

Claire pushed and kept pushing as Quinn and Kate gave more encouragement, then a cry.

They all smiled as the baby kept crying.

Claire shedded a tear.

Kate: It's a boy.

Flash

Jack: God damn it.

Matt was walking back into the caves from the bathroom.

Matt: What happened?

Sun: Pulled a sheet over Boone's head.

Matt: Wait, no, what are you doing?

Sun: He's gone.

Matt: No, no we can still save him.

Sun: I'm sorry.

Matt fell to his keens.

Matt: Why? Why?
