Stranded in the Middle of Nowhere Chapter 26: Torn: Natasha Santos, a lost fanfic

Here's the next chapter. It is a Tasha centric. Enjoy! I don't own Lost.

'Sophie!' the two men yelled. Daniel ran forward and jumped on her, knocking her to the ground.

'You okay?' he asked,

'Yeah. Thanks,' she answered, 'oh my God!'

'What?' he asked worried,

'Justin!' she pushed Daniel off her and made to get up, but Daniel pulled her back down. 'What the hell are you doing?' she hissed,

'Saving your life. Look, they're going to look over at us and check to see that we're all on the ground. It doesn't matter to them whether we're dead or alive, as long as we can't go anywhere,' he replied,

'Okay,' she nodded as a tear slid down her cheek. She turned her head again but quickly turned away when she saw Justin's lifeless form.

'Why is it such a big deal that we take this baby?' Andrew asked,

'Because people can't conceive on this island,' Ari said, 'well, they can, but they die before giving birth,'

'Why?'

'Because something happened seventeen years ago,' Madison said,

'What happened?'

'A certain woman was pregnant and she happened to get critically injured. She was in a coma for almost a year and lost the baby. And for some reason, now woman can't have children here,'

'I'd stop talking about it if I was you,' Riley said,

'How do you even know?'

'She told me,'

'Who are you talking about?' Drew asked. The two just exchanged looks.

Sophie stood in between Charlie and Dan at the funeral. She had tears streaming down her face. Finally halfway through Charlie put his arm around his longtime friend. She cried into his shoulder for not even a minute before she walked away from the group and into the jungle.

'I'm gonna kill him!' Tasha exclaimed walking into the classroom, sitting next to her friend,

'Kill who?' Hayley asked,

'I'm gonna kill Mark!'

'Why?'

'He just told me he's been cheating on me for the past two years!'

'I know,'

'You know? You know? How do you know?' realization dawned on her, 'you little slut! Why would you do that to me?!' she was now yelling, 'what the hell happened to best friends forever?' Tasha asked standing up,

'We can still be friends Tasha,' she replied also getting up,

'Oh, yeah, coz it's so easy to forget that two of the three years I went out with him was a lie,' she said sarcastically,

'Nothing's changed. The only difference will be that he'll be going out with me, not someone who is trying to off herself every other day,'

Tasha slapped her across the face, 'that was a one off, and you know it,'

'Oh, so you won't mind showing me the one cut on your wrist, will you?' she said pushing up Tasha's sleeve, 'oh, and look, there is like a thousand cuts on your wrist. Let's see the other one shall we?'

'Stop! Fine. Have him. Like I care,' Tasha said walking out of the room with tears in her eyes.

'Wow. This is awesome,' Parker said,

'What is this place?' Shawn asked in awe,

'This? This is the Hatch,' Locke said walking out of a side room,

'And what's it for?' Parker asked,

'How about I show you two a video to explain it?'

'The operation was a success,' Ari told Ben via radio,

'Good. I will send someone over to get the baby,'

'You can't be serious,' Sasha said,

'I am,'

'That child needs to be with her mother,'

'I'm inclined to agree with her,' Ari said,

'I am sorry but they cannot be together,'

'Ben, no mother should be deprived of their child, no matter what the circumstances,' Sasha said, almost begging,

'I know how you feel on the matter, but I'm sorry it cannot happen,'

'Fine. By any chance do you know what day it is today?'

There was a pause before he spoke again, 'of course I do. It's been what? Fifteen years?'

'Seventeen years,' Sasha replied quickly, 'please, Ben. Just let them be together,'

'Sophie? Are you okay?' Dan asked walking to where he heard sobs coming from,

'I'm fine. It's just…seeing Justin die today, it…. I'm fine,' she replied,

'Do you want to talk about it?'

She nodded, 'fifteen years ago to this day, my brother drowned,'

'Oh I'm sorry,'

'It was my fault. I was meant to be watching him, but I was talking to someone. If I was paying attention he would be alive,' she wiped her eyes, 'and today, it's also my fault Justin's dead,'

'No it's not,' he said walking closer to her,

'Yes it is! If I didn't decide it was a good idea to go in the jungle he wouldn't have come,' she was now sobbing hysterically. Daniel put his arms around her,

'It's not your fault. You weren't the one who shot him. It's okay,' he soothed,

Sophie looked up at him and smiled, 'thank you. For listening,' she then leaned up and kissed him full on the lips.

'Hey Jennifer?' Tasha asked,

'Yeah?'

'You're a nurse right?'

'Sure am,' she smiled,

'Tell me, what's the usual time I should feel my baby kick?'

'You're pregnant?' she asked, mentally filing it away for a huge gossip with Amber later,

'Yeah, I'm almost five months,'

'well, I would have thought that you would've felt something by now,' Tasha looked alarmed, 'but seeing as this is your first, I'd say – hang on, this is your first, right?'

'Do I really come off as someone who sleeps around?' she asked a bit offended,

'No, no, no. I didn't mean it like that. So as this is your first, I'd say two more weeks at the most,'

'Ok, thanks,'

'So Natasha, how have you been since last time I saw you?' Karen asked,

'First of all, I thought we established either Tash or Tasha. And in answer to your question, hmm, lets see, well I found out Mark's been cheating on me with Hayley, umm, I have until the end of the week to pay my rent or else Peter, Amy and I are on the streets. Oh, and I found an even sharper knife to cut myself with! It was a fantastic week!' she exclaimed sarcastically,

'Tasha, we've talked about cutting your wrists,' Karen said sternly,

'Well, yeah we have, doesn't mean I took it in,' she replied, 'Oh and another thing, it's the two year anniversary of my mother killing herself today. And the five year anniversary of my dad's overdose/death! Can't you just see how happy I am today?'

'Tasha, I know how hard it is for you, but you have got to stop hurting yourself. If not for your own sake then for Peter and Amy's. They are only twelve-years old, and you are the only person they've got left.'

Stacey opened her eyes slowly. She instinctively put her hand on her stomach. There was no bump. It was just flat. She looked around.

'My baby…' Stacey muttered, 'where's my baby?'

From the corner of the room a woman walked over.

'Your baby is with us,'

'Please, just give me my baby,' she begged,

'I am doing everything in my power to get your baby back to you,' the woman assured her,

Stacey knew the Others were merciless, so why was this woman trying to help her? 'Why are you helping me?'

She smiled, 'I believe no mother should have their child taken away from them,' Sasha explained.

'Amanda, I just did something stupid,' Sophie whispered in Amanda's ear as she passed. Amanda nodded as Sophie kept walking. She couldn't believe she had kissed Dan. Yeah, she liked him, but she had just buried her boyfriend. Just then Amanda came up to her.

'What is so stupid that you interrupted my conversation with Ryan?' she asked,

'Amanda, we can save your flirting for another time, this is important,'

'What did you do?'

'I kissed Dan,'

'What?!'

'I kissed Dan. God I'm such an idiot!'

'Why did you kiss him?'

'Because I was upset,'

'Do you care about him?'

'Of course I do,'

'Do you just care about him or is there something more?'

Sophie just looked away.

'I'll take that as my answer,' Amanda said, 'and finally did he kiss you back?'

'What?'

'Was there anything on the other side of the kiss?'

Sophie just smiled.

'Oh my God!' Tasha exclaimed,

'What?' Shawn, Kalub, Natalie and Dinah asked,

'I just felt my baby kick,' she smiled widely, 'it kicked again! Here, feel this,' she said grabbing the closest hand and placed it on her stomach,

'Wow,' Natalie smiled,

Dinah put her hand on Tasha's stomach, 'that is so awesome,'

'Yeah,' Kalub said,

'Pretty cool,' Shawn added. At that moment Calypso walked over.

'Hi. What's going on?'

Tasha's smile vanished. So did Natalie's and Dinah's. Shawn and Kalub on the other hand looked up at her and smiled,

'Tasha's baby kicked,' Kalub explained,

'Oh cool,' Calypso actually smiled at them. 'Can I feel it?'

'Yeah, sure,' Tasha answered unsure. Calypso was actually pretty gentle.

'What?' she asked when they all looked at her strangely, 'I am capable of being nice,'

Is this the start of Calypso turning human? Lol. The medical facts about Tasha being pregnant might not be accurate so just ignore it. And despite what someone said Sasha is actually human, as you can see in this chapter. And I decided to have yet another thing about the ships:

So what do you think about Amanda? Should she be with Ryan? Or someone else?

And who should be with Madison?

And one of the things that's been annoying me. Jack/Kathy or Jack/Anyssa?

Now here's the preview:

'What did you do?' Megan asked,

'What needed to be done,'

'Stacey, are you okay?'

'just great,' Stacey muttered before being slammed on the ground again.

'is that one of those statues that Charlie had?' Claire asked,

Brad and Amber looked at each other.

'My baby!' Rosie exclaimed.

'He belongs to me!' Ari yelled.

A gunshot is heard.
