That night as Sara slept she remembered.
"Daddy catch me," she called seeing her father and her on a beach with
the waves hitting the sand.
"I will always catch you my love. Always," he said picking her up and
carrying her back to camp.
That same night as Sayid slept beside Fatima he dreamed of the night he
and Shannon married one another.
"You sure about this brother," Sawyer asked as the two men stood in front
of the main fire pit at the café in front of Jack who was officiating.
"I have never been more sure of something in my life," he replied as Shannon
came down the beach escorted by Locke because Boone was protesting the wedding.
Shannon had on a white mini dress Sawyer had found in some luggage and wore a
wreath of daisies in her hair with lotus blossoms as a bouquet. Shannon took
Sayid's hand and stood before Jack as he officiated being happy finally came the
vows and a tear fell down Shannon's face as she started "Everyone always said I
was useless but you taught me that I was stronger than I looked and that I could
do things I never imagined. Locke once said we all get new lives on this island
lives we get to choose well I choose you. I swear to love, honor and protect you
in sickness and in health and always be by your side. I will be your lover in bed
and partner in life. Now and forever."she said slipping a claggagh ring, Sawyer
had salvaged from the wreckage, onto Sayid's hand. Clair, Shannons Matron
of honor handed her a handkerchief for now her tears were streaming down
her face. Sayid took the handkerchief and gently dabbed Shannons eyes.
"You say I taught you to be strong well if that is true then you taught me to
be weak. You showed me how to forgive myself for my past as we sat and
admitted to each other all we had done in our pasts. You are the light in my world
and I thank Allah each and every day for brining you into my life. I swear to love,
honor and protect you in sickness and in health and always be by your side
forever. With this ring I seal my vow," he said slipping a claddagh ring on her hand.
"For as much as these two have sworn to love let no man and I mean anyone
try to part them. I now say your married so kiss her Sayid we have goodies to
eat," Jack said as everyone laughed. Sayid gladly did as Jack asked picking Shannon
up and swinging her around in circles kissing her passionately and the walked back to
long tables filled with food and back at the beach
As they all sat and at and talked as the sun set Sawyer yelled since he
didn't have a glass to bang, "Yo everyone shhhhh," he yelled and everyone looked at
him and he smiled down and Sayid with a cocky grin, "You know when Sayid told me
he was going to marry Sticks I thought he was crazy but then I started to watch them
and noticed it was love. I'd be dammed but they were in love and I was dumbstruck
because I didn't know what he saw in her but then as I watched them more I noticed
she had changed a lot since the crash. No longer selfish she would help anyone but
still kept to herself except when Sayid was around. Now God knows how long we
will be here but for your two to come together under normal circumstance would be
weird but to do it here means its destiny. So everyone raise your fruit in a toast
to Destiny," Sawyer said and every clanked coconut shells together and laughed
as Sayid and Sawyer kissed and sipped from their shells.
That night as they lay in their hut they had built between the caves and
beach in a clearing Sayid held Shannon close. Shannon was now 7 months pregnant
and had yet to feel the baby when suddenly she gasped and Sayid woke,
"What is it," he asked?
"Here," she said taking his hand and placing it on her stomach just as
the baby kicked again. Sayid and Shannon laughed as they felt their precious
child moving inside of her and Sayid said a silent prayer of thanks to Allah
for giving him Shannon and his child.
