A/N: So everyone! Are you happy to see me back here so soon? So…we left off in the last story (I'm Happy If You Are,) with Boone's acceptance of Shannon and Sayid's relationship. There was a lot of fluff involved! I am hoping that there will be much more angst. I know that some characters are really out of character, but that is the way they need to be for this story. Thisfirst partis short, but I will be getting into longer chapters later! So, without further ado, I give you… "Moving On: Part II of the Shayid Trilogy."


"Aunty Shannon?" A voice cried from the makeshift hut. Three year old Aiden called from within.

Shannon looked over to the hut and let out a small sigh. She was on babysitting duty for the day. She had the wonderful job of keeping up with the three year old for a couple of hours. "What's wrong Aiden?" She asked with a smile.

Aiden laughed and held up his hand, in which a large black spider dangled from a leaf. "Look what I found!" He said, dangling the creature in front of her face.

Shannon shrieked, causing Aiden to tumble in the sand giggling. Shannon couldn't help but laugh along with him. She picked him up, and set him on his feet. "I think it's time for you to go back with your Mom."

The two walked down the beach and Shannon looked around at their island home. The had been here for nearly four years. Within that time, their number had decreased to 30, not including Aiden and the two other children that had been born on the island. Locke had died during a hunt, and they had lost both Scott and Steve. Two women, Natalie and Joan had taken their own lives. Jin had died of an illness, and there had been others. Small huts had been constructed along the shore, and the island was slowly becoming a home for the survivors. Charlie and Claire had been married by Jack shortly after Aiden was born, and Kate had been sleeping in Sawyer hut for over two years.

Shannon looked over to Claire who was busy discussing something with Kate. "Your son is a menace." She said, attracting the attention of the two women.

Aiden ran over to Claire and crawled into her lap. "I showed Aunty Shannon a spider, and she screamed." He announced proudly.

Claire laughed. "I'll watch him." She said to Shannon.

Shannon smiled. "Thanks." She said. She looked down at her stomach and rubbed it softly. Yes, Shannon- formerly known as the coldest woman on earth- was 8 months pregnant.

She ambled over to her hut, and laid down on the makeshift bed. A few minutes later, someone entered the cabin. She sat up and smiled at her brother.

"Hey Boone." She said with a smile.

Boone sat down beside her and rubbed her back. "I saw you come in here. I thought I would come and check on you." He said, concern etched in his voice.

Shannon sighed. "I think it's just the sun." She said quietly. "But I'm fine…really."

Boone smiled. "The other guys and I are still building some more huts. Sayid's on his way back."

Shannon stood up. "Well, I don't think I'll be getting much sleep now." She said, pulling off her shawl. "Besides, we're getting hungry." She said, rubbing her stomach.

Boone smiled and the two walked back out onto the sand. Shannon spotted Sayid a few feet away and ran over to him. He kissed her lightly, and wrapped an arm around what was left of her waist.

"How are you feeling?" He asked, brushing a strand of hair away from her face.

Shannon rolled her eyes. "I'm fine." She said, kissing him gently on the cheek. She wrapped her arms around him, and rested her head against his. She glanced down when she felt a small tug at her dress. Aiden was standing with a white flower in his hand.

"I picked this for you." He said with a proud smile overtaking his round face.

Shannon took the flower and smiled. "Thank you Aiden." She bent down to give the child a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Sayid sighed, and Shannon pushed herself to her feet. He turned to her. "I have to go and finish helping Michael, but I will be back in an hour." He said, running a hand through his curls, and picking up his water bottle.

Shannon nodded. "Go and be a manly man." She said sarcastically. "No fighting with Sawyer." She said, kissing him lightly on the cheek.

Sayid smiled and squeezed her hand before setting off with Michael back down the beach.
