They'd almost gotten comfortable on the island. Almost adjusted to living here. They had food, water, and each other. But that all changed the night Claire went into labor. And now Jack and Charlie were walking around like zombies, bitterly reminded of the frailty of human life. A little mound in the jungle was all that was left of a vibrant, beautiful woman and the child she'd been carrying.
When Kate came to him, searching for she knew not what, Sawyer just shifted the toothpick in his mouth from one side to the other and held her while she cried.
