Summary: Lovers torn apart, a bomb, a flash of white light. What does it mean? My take on what happens next. A Suliet reunion fic.

I'm Coming Home.

"Change will come, change is here. Love fades out. Then love appears. Now my water turned to wine. And these thoughts I have. I now claim as mine. I'm coming home.

Change has been. And change will be. Time will tell. Then time will ease. Now my curtain has been drawn. And my heart can go where my heart does belong.

I'm coming home."

Reunion by Collective Soul.

She was full of more energy than she's ever had since finding out she was pregnant. She spent the day working with Medics, the only big thing that happened thus far was a young boy had been dared to jump off the top of one of the Temples and broke his leg. He was lucky that it was a single fracture so she set it so it would heal properly but had to wince in pain when she did without any kind of pain reliever, he tried to smile through the pain to show how tough he was. She smiled at him when she was finished because boys were the same no matter what time period you were in.

She walks outside with him and shows him how to use the crutches to get around. He hugs her, thanks her and hobbles off to show his friends. She had now spent eight months with these people, the real Others. When she talked with Claire she kept calling them her people.

"They are your people, your face is the wall one of their temples" Claire told her. "You've been one of them since the beginning."

She feels a slight tingling sensation in her belly and she places her hand on top of it. She takes a deep breath and walks back in and tells them that her baby will be coming today. She helps them set up the birthing area by getting all the equipment and tools they will need while timing her contractions ten minutes apart and about thirty seconds long. She wanted everything set up a head of time so she wouldn't have to worry about it when she was in labor. She was ordering them around in harsher tones then she normally would. Doctors do make the worst patients. She thinks to herself.

She screams out and hunches forward, bracing herself on the table as a strong contraction surprises her suddenly and grips unmercifully at her belly. One minute apart and a minute long. She's sucking in her breath through pursed lips and trying to keep count as another contraction tightens in her abdomen. She had been in labor for eight hours.

They help her to the bed and she continues to moan as the contractions were closer together. Her entire body his trembling and she feels the sweat trickling down her face. They didn't have IV drips in this time so she had Claire giving her sips of water in between contractions so she wouldn't be dehydrated.

Claire knew exactly what Juliet was going through, giving birth on an uncomfortable surface with no pain killers felt like torture, but she knew it was worth it in the end and for Juliet it would be too.

When it was finally time, she wasn't ready. She couldn't do this without James. He needs to be here. She screams "NO!" at them when they tell her to push. "James" she cries out and lays her head against the towel being used as her pillow. "Jacob!" she screams "James needs to be here…" she hisses through the pain tugging at her belly. She knew she needed to push she knew her baby was ready to greet the world. But she didn't want the baby to greet the world without James being there to see.

Claire sees Juliet struggling, her pupils dilated in pain and soaked in sweat, and she runs over to Juliet and grabs her hand. "I know you want James here" She says "But you need to have this baby now and you know he would want that. He doesn't know that you're alive, Juliet and when he sees you and the baby that is all that will matter to him." She places her other hand over Juliet's. "You need to have this baby so you can go back to him"

Juliet stares into Claire's light blue eyes and the tears start rolling down her face. She knows she's right. She curls forward as her body quivers and grips Claire's hand tightly. James

He turns his head and sees the commotion coming from the statue. He sees the dark haired woman with the gun leading Ben out of the Temple with it pushed against his back. A sudden anger washes over him and he rushes towards Ben in a anger so great that Ilana steps backwards as he nears them. He grabs Ben by his collar and throws him up against the wall with rage in his eyes. "This is your fault!" He screams at him. "If you never brought her here than she would've been with her family"

He walked out of the temple slowly as the woman held the gun to his back. He was startled as he saw Sawyer running up to him like a bull and he was the matador. He had no time to react as he feels pain as his back crushes against the wall. The sunlight glistening in the sky made Sawyer's eyes look like they were on fire as he spoke. When he mentioned family, Ben knew he was talking about Juliet. "If I never brought her here, then you never would've met her, James" he replies back.

"I know that" James says through gritted teeth hearing his name come from Ben's mouth only enraged him more "She'd still be alive" he cries out.

Dead, Juliet's dead? That couldn't be true. He first saw her when he was eleven years old she was wearing the blue dharma coveralls from the motor pool. She was leaning against one of the buses laughing at something the blonde man next to her was saying. The same blonde man that was holding his hands in a vice grip around his throat.

When he was younger he saw that everyone in the Dharma Initiative was afraid of him but it was Juliet that scared him. Anyone that could control rage inside of the man he knew then as Jim LaFleur was the person to be feared. Around her everything about him softened, his voice his mannerisms. With her he was just a man in love. When Juliet thought he was lying about curing her sister, she snapped without any warning, knocking the water glass out his hand with such fury that it had scared him into silence. He knew Juliet was a volcano that could erupt at any time, she was the one you wanted watch out for.

He ran to Ben with every intention of killing him for what he put Juliet through. This is the man that made Juliet miserable and made her do terrible things to protect her family, the family that she never would get to see now. He has his hands around his throat and watches as his eyes bug out even more as his grip tightens. He wants to watch the light fade out Benjamin Linus' eyes.

Juliet's dead was racing through his mind as he was starting to lose consciousness. He tries to ask when but all that comes out was gasps of air. Then he smiles, he was going to be killed by the redneck conman that had the love of the woman he wanted since he was little. The man he saw kiss her, whisper in her ear and grab her hand and start taking off her clothes before they would run into the house they shared. The man that made her smile a smile that filled the room with brightness that wasn't there before. When the Hostile had shot him he faded in and out but he saw her worried face hovering over him as she tried to save his life. He didn't know who brought him to the Hositles to be healed, when he got back to the barracks she was gone and so was LaFleur. No one would tell him what happened. They always told him he was too young and it was none of his business. That was all he needed to solidify his deal with the Hostiles. They had promised him things would be better for him if he waited a little while longer. So he waited. Was this Jacob's doing, did he know all of this would happen?

James closes his eyes and could swear he hears her voice calling out to him in the distance. He pictures her face and sees her telling him that this is not who he is anymore. He feels like all his energy was suddenly sucked out of him. His eyes fill with tears as her voice fills his head again calling out to him, begging for him. He lets go of Ben's throat and staggers backwards.

Ben sinks to ground trying to suck in air to fill his lungs; he's on his knees gasping for breath. Why did he let go? Ben saw the anger in his eyes, the kind of anger that consumes you until you finished the job. Then he saw the anger just fade away like morning tide.

Ilana watched as the blonde man strangled the life out Ben. He had so much anger in him and she was shocked when the man let go leaving slight traces of anger still visible deep in his eyes. "Why did you stop? She asks him.

James looks to the woman who spoke she had the rifle strapped against her chest. "He ain't worth it" James spits out and glares at Ben who is massaging his throat where his handprints had left their mark. "If you wanna finish the job, be my guest, Xena" he replies and walks away.

He hears them arguing on whether or not to kill Ben as he goes back to his spot and stares out at the ocean. Maybe he was going crazy but that was Juliet's voice he heard. It sounded like his name was whispered from her lips from somewhere far away. He wanted to hear it again and he didn't care how crazy it made him. He stood there listening for her voice the voice that could soothe his soul.

Out of the corner of his eyes he sees Ben and a few of the others running towards the canoes. Before he knows what he's doing he's chasing after them. He curses to himself because he had spent so long as head of security that was natural for him now. The prisoner was escaping and he had to be caught. He feels some of the others behind him. Ben had a head start and was already paddling out into the open water by time they pushed the second canoe into the water. Ilana sat in the front of the boat, he sat behind her. Miles and Kate had told him that Jack stayed behind. A man named Bram and two others from Ilana's crew had joined them.

They started out slow because everyone was paddling in different directions. He took over and told them how to do it correctly and that this was wasting time. They obeyed and started moving quickly. They reached the open water and scanned it for Ben, his boat was gone, that was impossible that bug-eyed bastard couldn't move that fast. They decided to double back to the beach to see if he did the same. Then they saw his boat in front of them. Ilana and her crew stand up and start shooting at it and the boat started moving faster as the shots started flying at them.

"That has to be his boat, shoot him!" Ilana yelled at her men.

His heart stops as he sees blond hair glowing in the sunlight and blue eyes made bluer by the water. He watches her hand him the paddle and stand up with the rifle in her hands looking like the badass she was. "Juliet" He says and feels Miles grab his shoulders to see into the other boat.

"Stop" Miles yells at Ilana. "That's not Ben, that's us" James yells at them to duck as her shots start firing at them.

Ilana turns to face them "What? What do you mean that's you?"

"That boat up there it's not Ben's it's us from the past in the future" He tries explaining ducking his head as far down as he could as Juliet keeps shooting at them. Juliet had wicked aim, so he wasn't about to get shot by her.

Illana turns around and continues shooting thinking they were crazy. A bullet flies by narrowly missing her head as she weaves out to the way. She hears the sound of metal hitting flesh, someone was hit. She turns and sees one of her men fall off the boat and into the water turning it red. Bram and Kate grab him and pull him back into the boat she got him right in the chest. She turns around to hear a loud popping sound and the boat in front of them vanishes.

He covers his head with his hands but he didn't want to duck too far as he stares at her. Juliet he screams out. She was alive then, but it wasn't now that was their past. She stands on the rocking boat with the rifle steady in her hands, completely calm while shooting at the other boat. Juliet could be holding a scalpel, a frying pan, a gun or a monkey wrench and it looked like it was the most natural thing in the world for her. She could do anything. He saw them all look down shielding themselves from the flash that was coming. "NO!" he screams out as they disappear.

"He's bleeding pretty bad, Ilana" Bram says as he holds his hand over the wound.

"We have a Doctor back on the beach" Kate tells them.

"Fine, let's go back" She says looking back for the boat that disappeared into thin air. They reach the shore and they jump out to drag the canoe on the beach. Bram and Cormac carry Peter over to Jack. Kate had run off as soon as their boat touched shallow water to go get him.

"What happened?" Jack asked as they set the man down in front him, his shirt was soaked in blood and he starts ripping it off him. "Ben shot him?" He asked because it didn't look like Ben was armed when he left.

"Juliet shot him" Miles replies.

"What?" Jack and Hurley say in unison.

Tbc…

A/N: So should Juliet hava a boy or girl?
I used a boy in my other story because of the name. And I haven't quite decided what sex the baby should be for this story.
