Jack smiled at his work. The hut was finally finished. He wouldn't let Kate near it since he had started four months ago. He didn't think that a hut would take that long, but afterall, he was a busy man here on the island. Being the only doctor, everyone always wanted him. He had to put it off so many times. The last time he had put it off was when Claire came to him to see if she was really pregnant again. That had happened about two weeks ago. Kate had laughed at him when he still wasn't done after the first month of building.
Kate laid on the beach, looking out at the ocean. Her stomach was huge now and Shannon's was also. She knew the baby would come soon. It was like she could feel it. For some reason, she thought something would go wrong with the pregnancy. A hand was shoved in front of her, ruining her train of thought. She looked up to see who the hand belong to. She smiled as she saw Jack.
"Now is that a way to get me to come with you?" she asked.
"It might be," he said, flashing her a quick smile. He seemed to be happier ever since he found out Kate was pregnant.
"Why do you want me?"
"I have something to show you."
She grabbed Jack's hand and she got up. He walked with her to the hut. She looked at it and gasped.
"It's finally done! I can't believe it!" she shouted, which made everyone turn.
"Calm down. I had time to put in the finishing touches. I had about two weeks without big problems to work on it. Now our child will have somewhere to live."
"So will we," she said with a smile.
"Oh...so now it is we. Last time, you didn't want me to move in with you."
"No. It's is our child. You deserve to be with her."
"How do you know it is a she?"
"I just do."
"Well, I think it will be a boy."
"Are you making a bet with me?"
"Yes. Ok, if it is a girl, you get to name her. If it is a boy, I'll name him."
"I'm fine with that."
He smiled. "Good," he said and they shook on it.
Claire paced around her's and Charlie's hut. Ty stared at his mother, giggling and yelling mum over and over. She didn't tell Charlie she was pregnant and she found out two weeks ago! Charlie stood in the doorway, smirking.
"If you keep that up, you'll make a hole in the sand," he said.
Claire looked over at him. "Charlie!"
"Why are you pacing back and forth?" he asked.
"Uh...no reason."
He went by her side and wrapped his arms around her. "There has to be a reason."
She sighed. "There might be...but I can't tell you."
"Why not? I've helped raise Ty. I can handle almost anything," he said with a grin.
"Notthis."
"Why not?" he asked, starting to frown.
"It's..."she started but stopped as Charlie kissed her.
"C'mon Claire!"
She gave another sigh. "Ok, but you better sit."
He sat on the makeshift bed of theirs. "Now you sit," he said, motioning to his lap.
She giggled and sat down. "Ready?"
"Yep, now that I'm comfortable," he said, making Claire laugh. He put his arms around her.
"I'm...I'm pregnant,Charlie," she said.
"Really?" he asked, excited.
"Uh...yeah. You're not mad?"
"Why would I be? I wanted us to have a child!"
Claire smiled. "Thanks..."
"No problem."
He turned her around and laid down, so she was on top of him. He kissed her gently.
"Can't wait until the baby," he whispered.
Sun ran towards Jack's hut. Walt stood there with a polariod camera. It was a bit beat up but it still worked. He took a picture of Kate and Jack. Soon the picture came out and he ran off. Jack smiled at Kate but Sun soon ruined that moment.
"Jack..."she said between gasps.
Jack's smile faded. "Sun? What is it?"
"It'sMichael," she said.
Jack paled. "Where?"
"Follow me," she said and she started back up the beach.
Jack was about to follow, when he felt Kate touch him.
"Be careful...I need someone to deliver this baby," she whispered.
Jack nodded as he followed Sun up into the jungle.
Sawyer laid in his tent, reading. Hurley hadn't brought him any good information lately. It was mostly about Jack and the hut. He heard someone come up to his tent. He looked up and saw Hurley. He wasn't surprised. He suspected some sort of story on Jack.
"I saw a boat," Hurley said, simply. He looked excited.
Sawyer looked up at him. "What?"
"Out on that empty ocean. There was a boat, man."
"There's been no boats for the past ten months."
"Dude! I know what I saw. It's coming this way!"
Sawyer shook his head. "There's as much chance as a boat comin' as someone seein' the monster." He knew Hurley wouldn't have a comeback. The monster hadn't been heard of over almost all of those ten months.
"Michael was hurt hunting in the forest, too."
Sawyer scoffed. "I'm stayin' in this here tent until I have proof."
"Fine," Hurley said as he walked away.
He's just talking bull shit, Sawyer thought. Curiousity started to get at him though, as he leaned forward to see the ocean. Out on the sea, was a speck. The speck was getting larger and larger.
A/N: Here is the fourth chapter. Later on...I might go back and revise it, putting in extra chapters. Hope you like it! R&R.
