The next day Sara awoke around 12 to silence witch was odd because her mother never

slept. Sara was curious so she slipped down to her mothers room to find her father and

mother sound asleep in each others arms the sight made her smile. She got dressed and

ran next door to tell Jena and the bunch and Sawyer just grinned. Claire hit him knowing

what he was thinking and the four made lunch deciding to have a servant drop some

sandwiches off for Sayid and Shannon with a note.

Around 2pm Shannon awoke as a servant left as Shannon tried to get out of bed

she found she couldn't. She twisted herself to find that it was Sayid with his death grip

on her. She gently woke him and he smiled relaxing his grip and Shannon grabbed the

basket the servant had left at the entrance to the Master Room. Shannon took the basket

back to bed where she opened it to find sandwiches, drinks, and fruit with a note. Sayid

laid out some food as Shannon read the note.

Sayid and Shannon.

Its been 15 years since you held one another so we thought it

would be a good idea to supply you with nourishment while you get reacquainted.

Don't worry about Sara she and Jena are going to check out the island for the

next few days and I will take care of the company Shannon. So do us all a

favor and enjoy.

Clair, Sawyer, Sara, Jena, Jack, Kate, Boone, damn the whole island

ps:HAVE FUN and you are not allowed to rejoin the tribe till you are

throughly exhausted.

Sayid laughed as Shannon read off all the names he couldn't believe so many

people were on the island. He smiled at Shannon as she got out of bed and walked to

the open window with a sandwich and drink. Sayid had an idea and grabbed the

comforter and pillows and made a comfortable bed on the balcony witch made

Shannon smile. The two sat and talked about the past 15 years. Shannon talked all

about Sara and how she grew up from her first time on a Sawyer's motorcycle at 8 to

her first heart break at 14 even to her being named prom queen a few months ago.

"Tell me about you," Shannon asked Sayid.

"I became a cop in Istana and I guess I got through. I loved my sons until I

found out Fatima tricked me. It feels like someone stabbed me in the chest with a dull

knife," Sayid said as a tear streamed down his face. Shannon gently wiped it away.

"You and I have been so alone for so long even when surrounded by other

people you and I felt alone," she said kissing his cheek.

Sayid took her lips and covered them with his own and fire erupted inside both

of them. Shannon pushed her fingers through Sayid's long hair and found it was as soft

as it was the last time she had held it so. Sayid wrapped himself around Shannon

emersing himself in the feeling of finding home in her once again. The two took time to

rediscover each other but found that mostly they were the same as they had been just older.
