Sadly, this is the last chapter of the story. I had a great time writing this story and I hoped you all enjoyed it as much as I did writing it. Chapter Six was the most popular chapter. It received the most reviews than any other chapter! Now without farther adieu on with chapter seven and to see what Sawyer has.

Chapter Seven

Charlie's dozing off figure was startled awake hearing Jack call his name from the jungle. Charlie checked on Claire and then stood to leave the cave. He walked out into the surrounding area to see Jack, Kate, and Sawyer standing together.

"Sawyer! You're back! That's great!" Charlie said rushing over to him.

"Yeah, it's nice to see you too sport-o," Sawyer said. "I have something for Claire, where is she?"

"She's asleep, can I see what it is?" Charlie curious as to what Sawyer wanted his Claire for. Sawyer sighed.

"I really wanted her to be the first to see this but if you insist," Sawyer said. Sawyer uncovered the object in his arms and Charlie looked at the object.

Charlie's heart dropped and tears sprung at the corners of his eyes. In Sawyer's arms was Christian. Charlie gasped and felt a lump in his throat rise. He touched Christian's head softly.

"I'll go get Claire," Charlie said. He ran back to the cave and sat next to Claire. "Claire, wake up sweetie."

Claire's blue eyes popped open. "What is it Charlie?" Charlie smiled down at her.

"Sawyer's back and he has a surprise for you," Charlie said. Claire sat up with interest. "Do you think you could walk?" Claire nodded and smiled.

Charlie helped her stand and put an arm around her to support her wobbly steps as they went to Sawyer. Charlie was to excited to think, he couldn't wait to see Claire's face as she saw her son.

"There you are, I have someone here who is awfully worried about his mommy," Sawyer said. Claire looked at him.

"What are you talking about?" Claire asked.

"Found something of yours," he said uncovering the blanket. Claire's eyes were met with Christian's blue eyes. She gasped and her breathing became rigid. Tears rushed to her eyes and took him from Sawyer's arms.

Claire held Christian closed and cried. "Thank you Sawyer," she whispered hugging him.

"No problemo," he said hugging her back. Claire turned to Charlie and rushed into his arms and cried. Charlie tightened his grip around Claire but was careful not to crush Christian against Claire's chest.

"Charlie, I have my son back," She said through tears. Charlie smiled.

"I know, love. I'm so happy for you," Charlie said. He looked at Sawyer and mouthed 'thank you'. Sawyer nodded and knew how much those two loved each other.

Charlie looked down at the beautiful girl in his arms and her son and couldn't help and wonder if they would be a family. It was his new dream, not looking for his next fix or being a rock god. All he wanted was Claire.

"You ready to go back to the cave?" he asked. Claire nodded and they started walking back home. "You can stay with me as long as you want."

"Thanks Charlie, I'd be happy to be roommates with you," Claire said. She looked down at Christian and kissed his forehead. Charlie was busy setting up a very comfortable bed for Christian and Claire. He turned to them when he was done.

"Do you think you can watch over Christian while I use the ladies room?" Claire asked. Charlie nodded.

"Sure," Charlie said a little nervous. He had never held a baby before. Claire handed Christian softly over and Charlie went to go sit by the wall. Claire left and Charlie turned his attention to the little baby in his arms.

"Well Christian, we've had a long day huh?" he asked. Christian yawned in response and Charlie chuckled. "You look just like your mummy do you know that? I like that, your mum is very pretty. No, not pretty, beautiful. I wish your daddy had been better to your mum." Charlie looked over at Claire's diary and felt bad for reading it now. He had to tell Claire that he read it and wrote in it. "You know Christian, I love your mummy. So much, I don't know what I would've done without her on this island. She's the only girl who's ever meant anything to me and you're the first baby I've ever fallen in love with this quickly." Charlie kissed Christian on the forehead. "I just wish I knew how to tell your mum that."

Claire walked back in then. "How is my little boy doing?"

"Fine, he's good," Charlie said. Claire picked him up from Charlie's arms.

"He might be hungry, he was traveling a lot with Sawyer today," Claire said. She sat down and then looked at Charlie. "Are you going to be comfortable with this?"

Charlie realized what she meant and nodded quickly. Now he was nervous, he would actually be seeing a part of Claire's anatomy he had been wishing to see from day 1.

Claire situated Christian on her lap and started nursing him. She laughed. "Look he's eating!" Charlie nodded, sure he was turned on, but he thought the scene was cute as well. He then looked at Claire's diary and knew he had to tell her.

"Claire, while you were gone, I was having emotional trouble and I..." Charlie started.

"And what? What did you do?" Claire asked worried. "Did you go back on the drugs?"

"Oh no! No! I...wrote in your diary," he admitted. Claire looked at him. "I just needed to get my feelings out. I'm sorry."

She gave him a lopsided grin. "Why are you sorry?"

"I was just afraid that you would hate me for doing that since I read it as well," Charlie said feeling like he was confessing to a girlfriend about reading her diary as if he were in middle school.

Claire's smiled dropped. "You probably have a lot of questions then."

"No, I totally understand everything. I understand what a bastard that Thomas was to you. I can't even believe a guy would do that to someone as sweet as you," Charlie said.

Claire laughed sarcastically. "I'm not that sweet."

"To me you are," Charlie said. Claire smiled at him.

"Thanks," Claire said. "It's like going to confession."

"What?" Charlie asked.

"Writing in a diary, you voice all your personal thoughts, fears, passions, and problems. I call it my confessional," Claire said. Charlie had visions of going to confession and smiled understanding the symbolism.

"I know what you mean," Charlie said. Claire noticed Christian had fallen asleep. She smiled and kissed his forehead. She covered back up and placed him on his bed.

"I'll be right back, I have to go use the loo," Charlie said. Claire nodded and grabbed her diary once he was gone. She opened to the page Charlie had written on.

Seeing how Charlie had written about her, saying she was the most important thing in his life made her feel like she was the most special girl on Earth. She felt remorse when she read how he couldn't keep her safe. She felt hatred to think Charlie would think he was useless, he wasn't to her. But the words that meant the most was finding Charlie loved her. She felt a tear run down her face upon reading those words. She then laughed realizing she felt the same way.

She always liked Charlie, he was sweet to her and took care of her as if she was his own girlfriend. And she treated him like dirt. She felt horrible for treating him horribly. Her heart ached with sadness realizing how bad she had been. She then blinked the tears back as she realized underneath all that mess, she loved him. She smiled as she saw Charlie walking towards the cave.

"Hey, it's getting late, a lot of people are already asleep. We should get some too," Charlie said getting on his bed. Claire nodded and laid down next to Christian. Butterflies rose in her stomach as she debated whether to go over to Charlie or not. Her heart won.

Claire scooted over next to Charlie. He turned to look at her in the moonlight. "May I help you?" he asked.

"Charlie," she started. "I read what you wrote in my diary." Charlie smiled sheepishly.

"Are you mad now?" Charlie asked. Claire shook her head.

"I just want to say, you're not useless. I don't know why you think that, you are a wonderful guy that any girl would kill to have," Claire said.

Charlie snorted. "Yeah right."

"I'm serious," Claire said taking his hand. "You've been the sweetest guy ever to me and I've been a witch."

Charlie looked at her. "Claire, you haven't been mean to me. You care about me, I can tell that. You're just scared after what happen with Thomas. I understand that, if we weren't on this island I would kill him for what he did to you." He cupped her face with his hand.

"I can't believe I'm the most important thing in your life," Claire said.

"Yeah, you and Christian," Charlie said. "You mean the world to me." Claire smiled and Charlie wrapped an arm around her. Claire laced her fingers through his other hand.

"No ones ever said that to me," Claire said. Charlie smiled and took a deep breath.

"I mean it," he said. "Claire, I love you." Claire smiled.

"Charlie, I love you too, more than you ever thought I did," Claire said. Charlie smiled and hugged her. Claire laughed as Charlie pulled her into his arms. All of their problems and fears washed away and they were in paradise. Charlie moved his mouth to her ear.

"Claire, can I kiss you?" Charlie asked. Claire pulled away so there was a one-inch gap between them. She looked into his blue-green eyes and smiled.

"As long as I can kiss you back," she said Charlie smiled and placed his lips onto her soft ones. Claire wrapped an arm around his neck and kissed him back. They pulled out of paradise and looked at each other.

"Claire, will you be my girlfriend?" Charlie asked. "And I promise that I won't let anything happen to you and I'll keep you safe."

"You already made that promise and you've stuck to it. And as for your girlfriend I would love to be your girlfriend, Charlie Pace," Claire said. Charlie smiled and Claire kissed him softly. Claire pulled away and laid her head on Charlie's chest. She closed her eyes and drifted off into sleep.

Charlie kissed the top of her head and placed his chin on her head and closed his eyes. "Thank you," he said and drifted off into his own dreamland of sleep.
