Dudes, this chick Emily told me my story sucked…now I feel bad.
"But you and Michael…"
"We were together," Sun whispered through a searing blush, "but I did not know I was pregnant at that time."
"What about you and Michael?"
"I cannot be with him. I love my husband. Jin is my life."
"That's intense."
"Shannon, do you not feel that way for Sayid?"
"I've only know him like a few months!"
"But still…"
"Yeah. Sure. He's cool."
Claire laughed. "Cool? There's nothing cool about him…he's hot. Like red hot…"
"Are you hormonal or something?" Kate asked.
Claire turned a very nasty look on Kate. "Why do you say that?"
"You're acting…weird."
"In what way?"
"Horny."
"I'm not horny. The only time I ever get horny is when I'm preg-…oh, my god."
"Eww. Charlie knocked you up!"
"No…it's not possible…you don't think…oh, my god."
Shannon screamed. "You're PREG-umph!"
"Shannon, shut up!"
"Claire! You tackled me!"
"Shut up! Charlie's coming over here." Claire scrambled off Shannon and stifling their laughs, the girls looked at the trio of men walking over here.
"Hey, girls. We're heading into the jungle and we wanted to ask if you guys needed anything," Hurley explained as he, Charlie, and Michael walked up.
"Like what?" Shannon asked, confused as to what they would need guys to do that they couldn't.
"Oh, I don't know…manly things?" Hurley said as he flexed his arms and showed off.
The girls clapped appreciatively before shooing the guys away. As they walked away, Charlie now had the sleeping Adrian curled on his shoulder; Shannon asked a question that had been bothering her.
"What are they going to do?"
"Who?" Kate asked.
"The guys on the island. Let's be honest, guys outnumber the girls a lot, and people are pairing up. What's going to happen to the guys with no one?"
"They could turn to each other," Kate replied matter of factly.
"As in…"
"No. Not like that. I mean like company. They can keep each other company so they're not as likely to be isolated."
"I still think that they should…"
"Don't even suggest it."
"Why not Kate?"
"Because it might make certain people on the island uncomfortable."
"Like who?"
"I don't know…everyone?"
"Why would people be uncomfortable with homosexuality?"
"Some people have strong feelings on it, and I think most people would prefer to leave it alone."
"It's hard to though."
"Why?"
"Because of them."
"Them who?"
"The gay couple that is forever left out of the lime light of our show because the producers are saving them for a later story…wait, I mean Todd and Dan. Yeah, that's who I meant."
"Todd and Dan? Never met them."
"There's a good reason for that, Kate. They don't like to interact with the other people on the island. They're kind of nervous about it."
"Why?"
"Something happened in Australia. I think someone got in their faces about being gay or something. Personally, I don't care. They are who they are…as long as they don't go after my man."
"Your man?"
"Sayid?"
"Oh, yeah. Sorry, I'm a little spacey."
"It happens when you're…"
"Don't say it Kate! You'll jinx me."
"Can you jinx someone who already been jinxed…many times by Charlie?"
"Why, Shannon, I'm ever not sure. We should ask him…Oh Charlie?"
"Shut up you two. I need to think. This is…unsettling."
"You're telling me. Sun? You okay?"
"I am…it's just…" Sun burst out crying. For seconds no one moved. They were shocked at this extreme display of emotion, for Sun was more often than not the calmest of the group.
"What's wrong?"
"He won't talk to me, he won't even look at me. That's why I turned to Michael! He talked to me, he SAW me. Jin won't do that. He can't."
"Why not?"
"He thinks I don't know! I know what my father does. I know what Jin did. But he won't talk to me! He won't trust me with him. I just…I can't." Sun looked so sad that Shannon couldn't help but hug her. Looking at the other two there, she knew that they also had no idea what Sun was talking about, but that whatever it was wasn't good for her and the baby.
"Calm down, it's alright. We'll…we'll tie Jin up and make him talk to you."
Sun laughed and hugged Shannon back. She was finally beginning to calm down. "That's alright."
"No, seriously. You have to tell him about the baby anyways. You are intending on telling him about the baby?"
Sun smiled. "Not really. I don't know how he will take it."
"Does he know about you and Michael?"
"I think so. He knows that Michael…comforted me after we had our last fight."
"But you're telling him, right?" Claire asked.
"I don't think I should."
"Why not?"
"I fear what he will do to me."
"We won't let him hurt you," Kate swore vehemently.
"I know that, but he has threatened to kill Michael. And he's done it before."
I always said that Jin was a murderer. Look! You don't listen to me and see what happens?
