Chapter Seven: A Book by Claire Pace

Claire walked through the door later that day. She rolled the sleeping kids in, in their stroller. Claire closed the door and took her jacket off. She turned to see Charlie standing there.

"Hey," he said coming over to her. Claire smiled and Charlie pulled her into his arms and gave her a big kiss. Claire's mind filled with Malkin's words about her and Charlie and she smiled through the kiss and deepened it.

A few seconds later, Charlie pulled away and looked at her. "Someone's romantic tonight," he said smiling at her. Claire smiled softly.

"I am because I have good news," Claire said turning back to the kids. She lifted Camille up while Charlie took Aidan.

"What's this good news?" he asked. They walked up the stairs to the kids rooms.

"Remember how I wouldn't tell you where Kate and I were going today?" Claire asked as they put Camille down.

"Yeah," Charlie said leaning down to kiss Camille after Claire did so.

"I went to go see that psychic, Richard Malkin," Claire said. Charlie looked at her.

"Why?" Charlie asked.

"Now, don't get upset. He didn't tell me anything bad this time," Claire replied. They continued their walk down to Aidan's room.

"But what did he tell you?" Charlie asked. Claire kissed Aidan as she took him from Charlie's arms.

"Well, he read me and Kate. He told me he did know about the plane crash, which is why he sent me on there. I told him all about you and he said you and I would be married forever," Claire explained. Charlie smiled.

"I like this so far," Charlie said kissing her cheek.

"Wait, there's more. He said we're going to have a big family," Claire said.

Charlie smiled. "Go on, it can only get better."

Claire scrunched up her nose as Charlie kissed Aidan good night and they left. "Actually, you might not like this next part."

"Why?" Charlie asked concerned. "What's going to happen?"

"Well, Mr. Malkin knows that Thomas is out of jail. And he wants me to go and make up with him," Claire explained as they walked to the living room.

Charlie stopped and looked at her. "Why?" he asked astounded. "You don't have to go see him."

"Malkin said if I wanted to tie up loose ends then I should," Claire replied. Charlie sighed.

"Fine, but if you do, I want to come with you," Charlie said.

"Okay," Claire said. They sat on the couch and Charlie placed his arm around her.

"So, what did he say about Kate?" Charlie asked smirking.

"Well, he said that she and Sawyer were going to get….married!" Claire said. Charlie's jaw dropped.

"Sawyer, married?" Charlie asked snorting. "Yeah, I can really see that!" Charlie started laughing. Claire elbowed him softly.

"Come on Charlie, I happen to think its romantic," Claire replied. "I picture them getting married in the smallest little romantic tropical island. It'll be beautiful."

"Still, I can't picture the ex con man and ex criminal getting married," Charlie said. Claire smiled and placed her head on Charlie's shoulder.

"So, did Sawyer find a job?" Claire asked. Charlie laughed.

"Yeah, he found one," Charlie commented. Claire looked at him.

"Well, what's he doing?" Claire asked. Charlie opened his mouth to say something but the phone rang instead. "Hold that thought, I'll get it."

Claire reached for the phone. "Hello?" she asked.

"Claire! You will not believe what Sawyer is doing!" Kate practically yelled into the phone. Claire held it away from her ear.

"What's he doing, Charlie was just getting ready to tell me," Claire said. Charlie closed his mouth and watched.

"My Sawyer, is going to run a restaurant! He owns a restaurant! He bought the old seafood place right on the beach! Can you believe it?" Kate asked excitedly. Claire smiled.

"That's great! Tell him I can't wait to eat there," Claire said.

"I will, should I tell him our secret trip?" Kate asked.

"Only if you want to," Claire said. Kate giggled.

"Okay, bye Claire," Kate said.

"Bye," Claire said and hung up laughing. "So, Sawyer is running a restaurant now?"

"Yeah, I thought Kate would've been a little more upset that he blew a lot of their money on that," Charlie replied.

"Well, it doesn't seem that she was," Claire said snuggling back into Charlie's arms.

"Now, we're alone so let's have some time to ourselves before Cammie wakes up. Shall we?" Charlie asked kissing her neck. Claire smiled and kissed Charlie.

That night…

Claire walked over to the computer at about 9:30 that night. She sat down and opened up a word document on the computer.

She had an idea in her head and just wanted to see where it went. She looked over at Charlie lying on the couch watching TV. She didn't want his curiousness to wander over and read what she was writing.

Claire started typing away. Soon she had written about 20 pages of information. She looked at the clock to see it was midnight. Claire looked over at Charlie to see him asleep on the couch.

She smiled at his sleeping form and then read over what she had written.

'I screamed in pain, the thoughts that went through my mind were enough to keep it off of what had just happened to me.'

'This guy, he was just so adorable. I was shocked at the way he just suddenly appeared to help me with my luggage.'

'Peanut butter. Just those two words made me fall in love with Charlie Pace. Who'd of thought that a favorite food of mine would play a part in being stuck here?'

'When he held my hand as I went through false labor that day, I knew Charlie cared for me.'

'The look he gave us, it scared me. Who was this guy, and what did he want from us?'

'When I got back I couldn't remember anyone. Not Jack, not my best friend Kate, not even Charlie.'

Claire smiled as she read over it. She scrolled to the top and put at the top…

'A NOVEL

By

CLAIRE PACE'

Claire smiled. She was determined to finish this book. She stretched her fingers out and saved her document. She looked over at Charlie and decided to dedicate the book to him.

So, what does everyone think of the idea of Claire writing a book? I just thought of it one day in school. Well it's late and I'm exhausted. Thanks to everyone who reviewed for Chapter Six.

Until next time,
