A/N: Here is the new chapter. Sorry for the delay. Hope you like it. THANKS TO ALL WHO REVIEWED!

Jack made it up to his doctor tent in the jungle. Sun was already up there. Charlie and Sayid were carrying back Michael. He was a mess. Blood was every where and he was barely distinguishable. His chest was slowly moving up and down, revealing that he was still alive. Jack made his way up to him as the others laid him down.

"What happened?" Jack asked.

"We were hunting and then there was a roar. The trees shook and the monster tried to grab him. For some reason, we got him back," Sayid explained.

Jack looked at them. "It's been a while since the monster was here. Well, I'm going to get to work. You better go."

Sayid and Charlie walked out of the Jack's tent. Sun came over to Jack, who stood over Michael. His facial expressions gave away that he was deep in thought. He didn't know how much he could do for him.

"Is there anything you need?" Sun asked Jack.

He thought about it. "Get me some cloth."

Sun ran to the supplies and grabbed everything she thought was necessary. She handed it to Jack and he sat it nearby. He picked up a cloth and pressed it down to slow the bleeding. He never saw someone survive the monster before. Well, the pilot was really the only one the monster ate.

"Get a cloth and press there," Jack directed Sun as he pointed to the chest. "It's probably near the lung."

"Jack, he's lost a lot of blood," Sun said as she did as he told her.

"We still have a chance."

"You thought that about Boone!"

"Boone was different!"

"No he wasn't! It was almost like this. Stop fooling yourself."

"I will..." Jack started but was interrupted.

A scream came from nearby. He could hear someone coming close. Soon, Kate and Claire came into view. Kate's face was twisted with pain and she errupted into a scream. Jack looked over at her with concern

"It's the baby," Claire said.

"Has her water broke yet?" Jack asked.

"No. She's been having contractions."

"Lay her down there," he said, pointing nearby.

Claire led Kate over to where he told her to. Kate eased herself down and she screamed again. After a few moments, the pain disappeared from her face.

"I think they are gone," Kate said and then she looked down.

"Your water just broke," Jack said.

"What are you going to do?" Sun asked.

He looked back and forth between Michael and Kate. "Claire, do you think you can deliver the baby?"

"What!" Kate and Claire shouted at the exact same time.

"Kate delivered your baby and I'm busy right now. I promise I'll help from right here," he said in a calm voice.

Claire bit her lip and nodded.

"Ok, Kate, you need to push," Jack said as he ran around, trying to stop more bleeding.

Kate screamed as she pushed. Claire sat at the other end, trying her best to coach her on. Michael's eyes opened and looked at Jack.

"Help Kate," Michael said in a whispery voice.

Jack looked at him and shook his head. "No. You were here first."

"It's your child. Go. Sun will help me," Michael replied as Sun's eyes widened.

Jack tried to disagree but he ended up consenting and went to Kate, who was still screaming. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it so tight that his fingers turned purple. Michael took Sun's arm as she held a cloth down. It was soaked with blood. He looked her in the eyes.

"You're not going to save me. I'm as bad as Boone was," he said to her.

"No...we'll save you," she said, fighting back tears.

"Will you watch Walt for me?" he asked quietly.

"You are not going to die," she said firmly.

He gave a weak chuckle. "You sound like Jack now. Will you?"

She nodded. "Yes, I will but I can't watch him if we get off the island. Jin would disapprove."

"What makes you so sure that he'll take you back?"

"You don't know him. Even if I do not go with him, he will make sure I do not have the boy."

"I understand. Someone will just have to take him. Tell him I loved him."

"You cannot die!"

"Just let me go. I'll be fine."

She shook her head. "No!"

He took in a shaky breath and let it out as his last breath. His chest fell but it did not raise. Sun felt the tears flow down her cheeks. She knew she had to be strong and she wiped away the few that fell. She turned away from him and walked out of the caves. Kate was still pushing for what seemed about an hour.

"It's almost out," Jack said.

"You said that a while ago," she growled.

"Don't worry. It'll be out soon," he said, ignoring the comment.

Claire sat nearby and watched as Kate struggled through the labor. This had to be hard on her. Footsteps came near and stopped.

"Looks like Doc is deliverin' the jungle fling baby," a familar voice said.

"Go away, Sawyer! I don't need you here," Kate screamed.

"Whoa there, Freckles. Calm down," Sawyer replied.

"How canI calm down?"

"Kate, you have to concentrate. I can see the head," Jack said.

Sawyer stood there with a smirk and crossed his arms. Kate made the last few pushes and a baby's cry was heard. Jack cleaned it off and smiled.

"We have a baby girl. You won the bet," Jack said, coming over to the side of Kate.

She was panting and pale. Sweat made her hair stick to her face. She looked sick. Her eyes went down to the baby.

"She's beautiful," Kate said in a weak voice

"She looks like you."

"She has your eyes, though."

"So, what's her name?" Jack asked her. "You won the bet."

Kate thought about it. "Nicole Marie Shepard."

"You want to hold her?"

Kate nodded and he handed Nicole over to her. "We can call her Nikki," Kate said.

Claire looked at them. "Um...Kate, you don't look so good."

Kate sighed. "I don't feel so good. It feels like I'm having my period."

Jack looked down and his face paled. "It looks like that, too."

"Not good, huh Doc?" Sawyer commented.

"Not good at all," Jack said.

"I'll leave you alone," Claire said as she got up and left.

Sawyer smirked but turned to leave. "Bye Freckles," he said and soon departed.

"Maybe I can stop it," Jack said.

Kate held Nikki as Jack went to see if he could do anything. He worked as best as he could but it wasn't getting any better. His face became even paler and slowly counted to five. His eyes met Kate's and she knew the look in them. She knew what they meant.

A/N: More drama! Sorry again I didn't get the chapter up fast. I was away on a trip. Here it is and I hope you like it. Hope it is not to depressing...but it was starting to depress me, so I stopped there. Well, R&R.
