Hey guys, sorry for the late update, I got my baby! Lol I named her
Maverick Azrael Naolin, and she cries way too much. But I'm glad she's only a computer baby
Ethan: OMG I'm a DADDY!
No you're not, they just won't give me a real baby because who in their right mind would give me a child?
Ethan: I'm a DADDY!
NO If anyone's the daddy its Jack (smiles largely)
Ethan: Just 'cause you write it don't make it true
Really?
(Suddenly Ethan is falling off a cliff in a small lake)
Ethan: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh (splosh)
See I guess that solves that problem!
Pang of Guilt
Chapter 27
Have A Sit Down
Kate cradled Alex as she ran, his head tucked just below her injured shoulder. She looked down at him and he beamed at her. At least he's not crying, she thought as she ducked her head to avoid a low branch of a tree.
To her surprise she was doing better then her chaser, apparently he hadn't been used to the terrain of the island. She slowed down with Alex as she approached the caves. She looked around to see any sign of Shannon, but there was none to be found.
Amidst the chaos of all their belongings scattered everywhere, she found a tiny bag of the medicine Sun had given to Shannon. She quickly pocketed it and ran through some of the wreckage.
She ran by Alex's crib, which had been smashed, and around the water spring which was now littered with garbage. Shannon called out to her from a small hollow in the ground by the spring.
Kate ran over to her, "Are you okay?" she asked.
"I….think….so," Shannon said through wheezes.
"Okay, breath through your nose, Shannon," Kate demanded, "I found this, I don't know how you use it, but it'll help you," Kate explained handing her the medicine.
"…Thanks…" Shannon gasped as she grasped the bag.
"But you're not done yet," Kate added.
"What?" Shannon asked finally composing herself.
"You need to go to the beach now," Kate told her, "You need to run as fast as you can and you need to take Alex. It should only be a five minute run."
"But what about you?" Shannon asked.
"There's still one more gunman, I'll distract him while you run," Kate explained.
"Kate you can't," Shannon cried as she accepted the baby.
"Neither can you, so looks like I'm going to have to do it," Kate answered.
"But you're pregnant," Shannon replied.
"Shannon, I'll be fine, I promise," Kate responded.
"Look at your shoulder, it's already bleeding," Shannon retorted.
Kate looked over at the blood slowly leaking from her shoulder still, she had forgotten entirely about the injury, "That's from something different," she added while shaking her head, "Now go, he'll catch up soon."
Shannon hesitantly ran from the caves and Kate watched until she was no longer in view with Alex. She gently pushed herself down in the hollow, she had nothing to do now but wait.
He remembered walking through the jungle chatting with Sayid about his opinions on Kate's dreams. They walked quietly up to camp in the bitter wind, a little odd for that time of year.
He remembered going to sleep with Kate beside him, tossing and turning because sleep just wouldn't come. He'd stayed up and talked with her, about the dreams, about the people, about what would happen in two months.
He remembered everything so lucidly, up until when he left the cave because of a strange noise outside. He's been hit in the face; he knew that for sure because there was definitely some bruising occurring. What he didn't know was, with what? By who? Why?
He sat on the sand staring into the lush foliage that blocked out any view more then three feet into the trees. He sat idly not moving an inch, and he wouldn't until Kate came out of that jungle, with that half smile forced on her face.
"Jack," someone said to him, he contemplated turning away from the trees for a moment, "Jack," the voice said again.
He sighed and looked over to see Charlie and Claire sitting beside him, "That bruise looks pretty bad," Charlie commented.
"It's fine," Jack said, and turned back to the trees.
"Jack…" Claire started but rustling was heard and Shannon wheezed onto the beach, holding the baby close to her. Sayid started to run over but Boone zipped pass him.
"Oh my God, Shan!" Boone screamed and ran towards her, lifting her crumpling body up before she collapsed, "Shan are you okay?"
"I…Think…. I…Could.. Use…. A.. bit…Of….This," she explained holding up the medicine.
Boone helped her over to where Claire and Charlie sat, Shannon held out her arms, holding the baby.
"Alex," Claire cried, tears ran from her eyes, she took him from Shannon and she and Boone took a spot beside Claire, "How did you end up with him?" Claire asked, "Kate was supposed to have him."
"Kate did, but there was still one hunter guy following her, so she sent me with the baby, she's at the caves."
"We have to go help her," Jack said, "She can't take him down alone."
"She took down that other guy on her own," Claire added, "Alex is bleeding," she suddenly cried, placing her finger in the tiny pool of blood on Alex's forehead.
Shannon looked over, "No that's from Kate," she enlightened and used her sweater sleeve to wipe it away.
"What!" Jack asked.
"She had a cut on her shoulder," Shannon explained, "She said it was from something else."
Jack sighed angrily and got up marching towards the trails.
"Where are you going?" Charlie asked him.
"To go get Kate from the caves," he said angrily.
"Don't bother," an aching voice came from behind him, Jack turned around and saw Kate leaning against a tree at the edge of the beach, her other arm wrapped around her stomach. Her shoulder was bleeding more profusely now, and the blood had made its way to the top of her tank, staining it a mahogany color.
Jack ran up to her, wrapping his arms around her, "You're…"
"I'm fine," she interrupted him as he pulled away.
He felt something wet against his shirt and looked down, noticing the blood, which had now stained his shirt as well, "Kate, you're not fine," he added sternly.
"Jack, I'm fine," she replied.
"You need to stop the bleeding," he scolded as he helped her onto the beach.
Claire took the small blanket that was wrapped around Alex, and tossed it to Jack. He placed the blanket on top of her cut, "What happened to the other guy?" he asked.
"I tied him up at the caves. Jack, really I'm…" She began but fell into him, he caught her by the elbows and she looked up at him weakly, "Maybe I need to sit down," she replied.
"That's a good idea," he answered, and helped her into the sand and sat beside her, holding the blanket to her shoulder.
"Jack," Locke called as he approached them, "Is she okay?" he asked when he finally met the spot.
Jack was going to ask why he didn't ask Kate but he turned to see she'd fallen asleep against his shoulder, "Yeah she's fine, she probably needs stitches though," Jack replied.
"The caves are in a mess," Shannon interrupted, "All the medical supplies have been kicked around or stolen."
"We'll try and help you scavenge what you can," Locke explained, "But Boone, Sayid and I are going to deal with the remanding two men."
Jack nodded, "I still think it's a good idea we live at the caves, it's much easier to keep track of people that way."
"I don't mind the cave," Shannon announced, "It'd be less stressful hiking there and back," she added.
"We'll all go back to the caves in a few minutes," Jack explained to the other survivors, "Right now I think we could all us a…"
"A sit down?" Charlie asked.
"Exactly," Jack replied.
Smiles4eva Those guy would be the military of the country that owns the island. They're evil.
CrAzYhOrSeGiRl88 Nuh uh because I didn't BREAK it, I CRACKED it! Lol congrates on your ten buckaroos. My pal Lizzie one 2 bucks because she said Charlie was gonna shoot Ethan and I said Kate was… I talked to my counselor and it turns out I'm probably gonna go to Toronto, which is good because I heart Toronto
Ethan: Me too, I mean the CN tower is just awesome!
Little to much enthusiasm there Ethan… PS (whispering) I'll share a little secret with you (Ethan walks over and joins the little whispering group) Shannon and Sayid are gonna get together in this…Why? Because I like Sayid and I like Shannon so why not…
Oreata Lol I've decided that I want Ethan to become one of those Beast Wars things. You know the animals that turn into robots…(see contest details below)
Andraste Tree Aww I'm sorry you were in the hospital, but hospitals have doctors and most doctors are sexy plexi! Lol I'm sorry it took me so long to update, but maybe this will quench your Lost fanfic thirst (so you don't get dehydration again)
Gowland Thanks, I try to write as if I were there, but sadly I'm not on a nice warm island, instead stuck in a cold dank basement…
Lara Chubb of Deep Hollow Yeah I know I had to have Locke save everyone, because….Well because he's Locke!
Lostobsessivefreak Awww good I'm glad you could take a break from all the homework
Ethan (in sinister voice): All work and no play…
Alright that was just downright freaky, never do that again…
Ethan: Then let me see the baby
JUST BECAUSE IT'S ROBOTIC DOESN'T MEAN IT'S YOURS!
Ethan: Fine just let me see the baby…
Tatiana OMG CALCULUS GIRL! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND! I'll pray for you
Ethan: Me too
Standardblack OMG YUSS! (gives you a high five) You're my hero! Everyone I know was like "I like that Shannon and Sayid made out" and I was like "NO WHERE'S JACK AND KATE?"
And thanks for updating Bitten (Whenever you do) Lol because I Heart it!
Lindsay Be glad because Ethan has just started out a Rehab program...Ethan?
Ethan: Yes now you can get your patented Shiggity patch, it gives you the intoxicants one of her stories would. (Hold up a kids Band-Aid with colorful designs)
But Ethan that looks like a Band-Aid
Ethan: That's the beauty of it, you put this little humdinger on your arm and it looks like you just hurt yourself, and no one has to know your addicted to stupid Shiggity's stories…
A DAGGER IN MY HEART ETHAN!
FanOfLOST YOU DON'T LOVE SHANNON! BUT WHO ELSE COULD MIMIC BOTH PIGGY FROM LOTF AND PARIS HILTON! Kate's fine and so is Jack, the only deaths that occur are red shirt evil military men and I say good riddance.
Yep NA, very nice. And they go out of the way to teach a parenting program that makes you look at the realities of teen pregnancy. LMAO the doll cries and it sounds like Jim Carry in 'dumb and dumber' when he's in the car and he's like "You wanna hear the world's most annoying sound? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" yeah exactly like that! And it cries ever 3 hours…
Rain1657 But I cut out how Kate tied up the guy because I was more focused on the reunion. And believe me you'll like the next chapters (the next chapter is slow) but chapter 28 is BOOMING with excitement!
Jessa Wowie that is the longest review I have ever received. It's awesome you're from Australia, I'm like the furthest away from you possible, living in Canada. Anyways now on to answering your bombardment of questions (I love to answer questions:))
The Korean people are not in this much because I haven't really focused on them, why I'm not quite sure, the same with Hurley. I just can't find a way to write 14 people into one fic.
Ethan is a bad bad man who kidnaps Claire and kills Scott (or Steve I forget which one)
Scott and Steve are just background characters
I made Ethan nice because everyone hated him and I was like "That's mean some one has to love the poor guy!"
I make them dance because it's my story and I have the power to make them dance (Besides the stories sad at moments)
Only Sun the wife can speak English so far
Aww I like Shannon, I mean you have to have a snotty girl on the island, otherwise there would be no female character to hate.
I love Sayid, he's been so giggly in the recent episodes, you can't help but love him!
Anyways I'm glad you like the story
JasmineHR Yeah I was like smiling picturing the cuteness of Jack sitting in the sand staring into the trees like a mad man…
Ethan: YUSS! Friends! Pillow fights!
Sawyer: GIVE ME MY ICECREAM!
Ethan: HA HA HA NO!
Pink Pinker TEAR I missed the beginning because I was at an Art meeting (We're going to New York!) anyways so I all missed the beginning of it even though I taped it. I got the part where Jin is looking at the watch. So I never saw Sun slap Michael. But I did tape the interview with Evangeline! So It's kinda a win-win situation! And I started swearing at the TV when it showed the ending and everyone was like kissy-kissy lovey-lovey except Jack and Kate! That's Like the SECOND TIME THAT'S HAPPENED! The first in Homecoming when everyone got some Love save for Jack and Kate! I like grabbed a pillow and swore into it…
Freckles-101 Maverick!
Maverick: Beep
Ethan: That's my Niece!
She's not your niece!
Ethan: PWEASE!
Fine.
Ethan: (picks up baby and runs around playing airplane with it)
Lol I'd suggest some Raid for your brain, or just read this chapter…
Itsrikkig No one really saved anyone save for Locke who just likes to throw sharp objects at stationary targets
MusicMonkey88 It's what I do, hoped you liked the update.
Whirlwind-2005 Yeah poor Sayid hiding his head over heels feelings for Shannon…. What's that do I sense another child? Kate knows the terrain better then the army man because he isn't used to the island and she has spent the past year on the isle. Kate told Shannon to go to the cave because she knew she'd lure the other man there and kick his ass. Plus the people at the beach still hadn't been killed…
Ethan: Next time, on Pangs of Guilt
Jack: Pretzels, potatoes and mustard?
Charlie: Sorry about all the bloody noise
Alex: WAHHHHHHHHHHH!
Kate: We can baby-sit him…
