A/N: 'Hola everyone! I know, it's been awhile, and I promised this chapter over a month ago. But I have been really busy, not being busy, if you know what I mean. It's summer! I've had my month of doing absolutely nothing, and now I'm back to writing. But it's actually a very good thing that I took this break. It cleared my mind up of all my stress and I took the time to re-watch the first three seasons of Lost! Oh yeah! :D It was a blast! I got my friend Sarah into it, so I may have her write some chapters/stories from time to time. I hope you've all had a nice break so far! 7 months to go! :( Enjoy chapter...12...I believe...hmm...The finale of "My Bed, Peanut Butter, and Charlie?"

"...I've been thinking about sex." she blurted out.
Charlie looked down at Claire and then back at the ocean. A smile appeared on his face and he looked back over at Claire.
"You have?" he asked. Claire relaxed.
"Yeah...I...God this is embarrassing."
"Why?" he asked. Claire finally looked up at him and frowned.
"Because, I've never really discussed this with anyone but my mum."
He laughed slightly and then slowly reached his hand for hers. He squeezed it and leaned into Claire. He placed a soft kiss on her lips and pulled away.
"So...what does this mean?" she asked.
"Whatever you want it to mean." he said and stood up. He stretched his arms and then pulled her up. He smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist. Claire felt a know twist in her stomach. She'd never really been nervous around Charlie. Except for when she first met him. He was a rocker and well, she just figured that most of them were, well tramps. She didn't say much on the way back to camp. She just ran the conversation over and over in her head. "What the hell did I just do?!" It was either the best, or the worst decision...
"
The next day, Claire woke up before Charlie. She didn't want to wake Charlie, so she moved over to his old bed, sat indian style, and started to think. She figured she only got around 2 hours of sleep last night. She couldn't stop thinking. Her mind was racing around all the moments she had spent with Charlie. Was she really ready for this kind of relationship? It's not like Claire had been with many guys before. Only Thomas. And looked what happened there? What would happen if she got pregnant again? She couldn't handle another baby. Not on this island. Unless they got off the island before hand, which seems unlikely.
"Ugh." Claire said a little too loudly. Charlie's eyes flew open and he shot out of bed.
"Claire? What's wrong?" he said scrambling to her feet.
"Oh, Charlie. Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." Claire replied.
"No, it's fine. Is everything, okay?" he asked. Charlie sat next to Claire and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"...Yeah, Charlie. Everything's fine."
"Good, 'cuz you scared me there." he said taking deep breaths. Claire gave him an apologetic look.
"Sorry." she replied.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong? You looked worried." he said placing a hand on hers.
Claire thought for a moment, and then replied,
"...I guess I am a little worried."
"About what?" he asked.
"About us?"
"...What are you worried about us for?"
"It-it's nothing, I don't want to talk about it." she said pulling away. Charlie pulled her back down and turned her face towards him.
"Tell me, Claire. I promise, I won't get upset or angry...or worked up over...whatever this is, okay?"
"...okay." she replied and sighed.
"I'm just a little worried about--if we--when we do actually...umm..."sleep together"-" she stopped and watched Charlie for a moment. He gave her an encouraging smile. "I'm just worried if I were to--get pregnant--again." she finished, taking in a deep breath.
Charlie nodded and pulled back a little bit. He sat for a minute in silence.
"Oh god, I knew this was a stupid idea!" Claire said standing up.
"No, wait! Claire!" Charlie said jumping after her. She stopped and turned to Charlie. "Just wait, I'm thinking."
Claire held her breath for a minute and then nodded.
"Can we just--sit down for a minute?" he asked. She nodded and they sat down on his bed. Charlie wrapped his arm around her and sighed. "This is a little embarrassing, but I must admit this."
"What?" she asked.
"As I'm sure you are aware...I've ugh...had...I've slept with many different women-"
"Yes..." she replied.
"And I've never really--I don't ugh...oh god...I don't use protection and I've never gotten any woman pregnant before."
"Charlie, I don't understand what you're trying to say-"
"I don't think I'm fertile." he blurted out.
"Oh."
He waited a minute. Still nothing.
"That's it?"
She turned to him and sighed.
"Charlie, you don't know that for sure and what if we did--and then I got pregnant?"
Charlie thought for a moment and then smiled.
"What?" , she asked, "What are you smiling at?" she asked with a smile creeping on her face.
"There's a simple solution to all of this."
"...Which is what?"
"No sex."
"Charlie, are you serious?"
"Yes, of course I am!" he said chuckling.
"You would...you would give up something like that for me?"
"Well, it's not like I need it to survive or anything. I mean look. I've gone 84 days with out it."
"...Wait 84 days? We crashed 83 days ago. Are you telling me that you had sex the night before the crash?"
"Well...yeah."
"With what? A prostitute?"
"Well...no...she wasn't a prostitute."
"Then who was she?"
"Just another fan."
"...See that's what I mean. Sex is such a big part of your life, I just don't see how this will work for you."
"We can try?" he said smiling.
She smiled back and nodded.
"Okay then. No. Sex."
He nodded and kissed her.
"So discussion over?" he asked.
"Yes." she replied.
2 1/2 weeks later...
Charlie and Claire are on their daily walk down the beach...
"So is this a new record?" Claire asked.
"Excuse me?" he asked.
"You've gone 100 days, without sex." she replied.
"Wow. Really? Has it been that long?"
She nodded in reply.
"Huh. I guess I just forgot about it."
Claire stopped walking.
"You're not being serious?"
Charlie stopped and turned around.
"Yes I am."
"How can you, Charlie Pace, rock god, forget about sex?"
"I guess it just kind of slipped my mind."
"So you've never felt needy?"
"Well, I suppose the 'rock god' reference kind of turned me on."
"Oh really?"
"Wait-don't. Don't do it, Claire!"
"Do what? I didn't say anything." she said with a smile creeping on her face.
"Please don't!"
"Well I suppose it's about time to get back, ay?"
"Claire..."
"What?"
He didnt' respond.
"That's what I thought. Now, come on. Time to get back to camp."
Charlie sighed and followed Claire back to camp.
For the next 4 days, Claire walked around calling Charlie her "Rock God". She tried her very best to turn him on as much as possible. On the fifth day, Claire stopped torturing him. She gave up. It was useless. Even if she could get him "needy", he would never cave. She was actually proud of him.
It was now January 7th, 2005. It had been 108 days since the last time Charlie had been with someone.
Charlie and Claire had just got done eating their supper and had put Aaron down to sleep.
"Isn't he just adorable when he sleeps?" Claire asked.
"Yeah...he is." Charlie replied. He smiled and sat down on their bed.
"Are you going to bed now, love?" he asked.
"Yeah, just a minute." she replied.
Charlie yawned as Claire sat next to him. Then he stretched his arm out around her. Claire giggled and snuggled her head into his chest.
"You're so cheesy, Charlie." she said.
He smiled kissed the top of her head. Claire pulled away and gazed into Charlies eyes.
"You're beautiful." Charlie said.
Claire smiled and gave him a kiss. She pulled her head back a bit to watch his face.
"I love you." he said.
"I love you too." she replied.
Charlie watched her for a minute as she brushed the hair off his face.
"What is it?" he asked.
She smiled and kissed him. They continued to kiss for a few minutes and then Claire started to push him back. Charlie stopped her and sat up.
"Wait a minute. Are you trying to--"
Claire bit her lip and nodded.
"Are you sure? What if you get--"
"Shhh" Claire shushed.
"How do you know you won't get pregnant, Claire?"
"Because I just do."
Charlie let out a small laugh and continued to kiss her.
The next morning, Charlie and Claire went for their daily walk, and lived on their normal day. They continued this for the next two weeks. And then, it was time.
"Look, just give it to me." Charlie demanded.
"Why should I give you a pregnancy test? Are you the first male to become pregnant? Shshh, I knew this island was special, but hell, if it can knock you up then-"
"It's not for me, it's for Claire you asshole!"
Sawyer frowned and let out a sigh.
"What makes you think I have a pregnancy test?"
"Sun."
Sawyer rolled his eyes and then walked into his tent. He came out a minute later with a blue box. He handed it to Charlie and smiled.
"Congratulations, daddy."
"She's not pregnant yet. Don't go telling everyone, Sawyer. Like you did with Sun."
"Whatever, ruin all the fun."
Charlie rolled his eyes and walked away. Charlie headed straight for their tent. He walked in and handed the box to Claire. She smiled and took her hand in his. They walked out of the tent and down the beach. Claire went into the bushes and emerged a minute later. They sat on the rock for 3 minutes and then Claire picked up the test and took a deep breath.
