6 month's later…
"Hey, what's up bud?"
Jayden just looked at Sawyer, his green eyes wandering the man's tanned face.
"Great little conversationalist I got for a son hey?"
"Sawyer I think he's tired you might wanna go out him down, I've already had Bernard put Hallie down for me"
Rose put Jayden down on the floor, where he stood up continuing to hold the woman's hand.
"Okay, thanks Rose for looking after them"
"Anytime honey, their sweethearts when their not grumpy or running around all over the place"
"Yeh I know, thanks"
And with that, Sawyer took Jayden by the hand where they started to walk towards their tent.
"Daddy…ook, Wallie!"
Sawyer looked over to where the boy was pointing at. Standing outside their tent was Bernard and Hallie playing in the sand.
"Let's go take your sister off Bernie's hands ay bud"
"Wallie!"
"Hey Bernie, unfortunately for you I'm gonna take Hallie off your hands so this would be your cue to stop playing in the sand like a 2 year old"
Bernard looked up, wondering how to answer, when he looked like he had a answer Sawyer just raised his eyebrows and Bernard decided to keep whatever he was going to say to himself.
"She's not tired anymore she had a good nap, I just think she needs a drink"
"Okay thanks man."
Bernard walked off and Sawyer continued to put Jayden down in his crib and then start putting some water in a bottle suitable for Hallie, while holding the excitable toddler.
"Daddy"
"What do ya see midget?"
"Brum"
"Brum?"
"Brum…bruuum"
That's when Sawyer heard it, the familiar whirring, and the same wind chopping sounds. The brum Hallie was referring to was actually a helicopter.
"Helicopter?"
The water bottle that Sawyer had been holding fell out of his hands and landed on the hot golden sand.
"Brum brum!"
Hallie was now jumping up and down in Sawyers arms at the sight and sound of an unfamiliar object.
People had started to come out from their tents, looking in both excitement and anticipation. They we're laughing, shouting, hugging and kissing. The whole camps atmosphere had lit up.
"Son of a bitch! We're rescued!"
He thrust Hallie up in the air, making her laugh and giggle.
"We're saved Hal!"
" Mama"
And that's when the weight of the situation came crashing down on Sawyer. Kate. The minute they were rescued, she would be taken away from him, him and the kids.
At the same time in the jungle…
Kate had heard it, she had heard it and she had frozen. She had frozen because as much as she tried to convince herself it was going to be okay, she knew it wasn't true. She would be taken away from Sawyer and the kids.
So many thoughts ran threw her head, should she run? Could she fake her way on and off the boat without being caught?
No, it would be too risky. But that's when it dawned on her…would the kids want a fugitive for a mother?
The embarrassment it would cause them, no I couldn't do that to them. Maybe they would be better of if she would just stay here, then they could lie about her as they grew up. If she stayed here then she couldn't hurt them by embarrassing them.
And Sawyer, well he had become more the able to cope with them alone. He had grown up so much since they were born, and Kate was proud of him.
She made up her mind…she would stay here, that way she could never hurt them, Hallie, Jayden and Sawyer.
Back at camp…
As people were running round with joy, shouting to their fellow survivors, Sawyer was just standing there with Hallie and now Jayden in his arms. He knew that what was going threw his mind would be the same thing that was also going threw Kate's, and he knew what that meant and he knew what he had to do.
He began to look around, to find someone he could look after the kids. The helicopter was close to landing now and Sawyer knew someone would have to take them on while he went find Kate.
He saw Rose, sitting happily on the beach with Bernard watching the helicopter land.
Bingo
"Hey Rose, Bernie"
Their heads spun round as they heard the southerner's voice. He then started to walk towards them.
"I need a favour"…

Her breathing was heavy and her head was beginning to spin as she ran faster and faster thought the jungle.
The thick foliage would hit her as she sprinted through the large green of the trees. Her heart was beating rapidly as her body began to give up on the running and she found herself slowing down and stopping.
But it was the place where she stopped that surprised her more than anything.
It was the waterfall…
