Hey everyone, sorry I haven't updated in so long! I missed all you guys! School took its lovely toll on me. I'm back with chapter seventeen. Right now, all I'll be updating is this story. I have an idea for my next story, but I want to plan it out a little more. I don't feel it's all planned well. But, this story has I think three chapters left. So enjoy!

Chapter Seventeen: Two Weddings and No Funerals

A week later…

Claire was up and cooking breakfast for Charlie and the kids. She started smashing up bananas for Camille to eat when the phone rang.

"Charlie, can you get that?" Claire asked. Charlie walked by with a screaming and crying Camille.

"Can you get it love? Having a little trouble with our daughter here," Charlie replied. Claire sighed and grabbed the phone.

"Hello?" Claire asked.

"Claire, it's Jack," Jack said.

"Hey Jack, what's up?" Claire asked checking on the food.

"Well, are you and Charlie doing anything tonight?" Jack asked.

"Uh, not that I know of. Why?" Claire asked cradling the phone between her shoulder and ear and trying to set the table at the same time.

"Well, I would like all of you to come to dinner tonight. That is if you can," Jack explained.

"Sure, what time? Do you need us to bring anything?" Claire asked.

"Around six and only yourselves. Of course, if Charlie wants to bring some beer then he can," Jack replied.

"Okay, we'll be there," Claire replied watching Charlie come in with a more content Camille. He sat her in her high chair and then walked out.

"Great, see you then," Jack said. They hung up and Claire finished setting the table. Charlie came in with Aidan and sat him in his little booster seat at the table.

"Who was on the phone?" Charlie asked pouring some cereal for Aidan.

"Jack, he wanted to know if we wanted to come over for dinner. Apparently, everyone else is coming over," Claire replied.

"Did you tell him yes?" Charlie asked. Claire nodded putting the food on the table. "Did he say why?"

"No, but he sounded really excited," Claire said sitting down and started to feed Camille.

"Hm, I wonder why. Ever since he started going out with his old high school girlfriend, Rachel, he's been lighter than air," Charlie said.

"Well, you can definitely tell he loves her," Claire said. Charlie leaned over and kissed her.

"Like I love you," Charlie said. Claire smiled.

Later that day…

Charlie and Claire pulled up to Jack's house. They noticed Kate and Sawyer's car outside, as well as Shannon's and Boone's. And another kind of car, which they guessed, was Rachel's.

Charlie and Claire got out and got the kids out. Charlie wrapped his free arm around Claire and they walked up to Jack's door.

"Hello?" Charlie yelled when they walked inside.

"Back here!" they all yelled. Charlie and Claire walked back to the living room. They placed Aidan on the floor and he ran over to his uncles and aunts. Claire sat Camille's carrier on the table and got her out.

Charlie and Claire both felt out of place because they were the only couple out of their friends who had kids. But now that Kate and Sawyer were married, they could only wait until they had one.

"Hey guys," Claire said.

"Hey!" Kate said as Claire sat down. Charlie looked around.

"Where's Jack? And Rachel?" Charlie asked.

"In the kitchen," Boone said leaning down to hug Aidan.

"Has he told you all what we're here for?" Claire asked.

"No, he just called me and told me to show up," Shannon replied. "He was lucky I had broken up with Jonathan."

"You broke up with him? When?" Claire asked.

"Last night, it just wasn't working out," Shannon said shaking her head.

"I'm sorry Shannon," Claire replied.

"Don't be, it's just another man to add to her hall of fame," Boone said. Shannon shot him a glare. Claire laughed softly.

Jack and Rachel came out and sat down. "Hey guys!" Jack said to Charlie and Claire.

"Uncle Jack!" Aidan yelled running towards him.

"Hey buddy!" Jack said picking him up and hugging him. Claire smiled at them two and she looked over at Kate who had leaned closer to her.

"I'm ready to have kids," Kate said. Claire smiled.

"Have you told Sawyer?" Claire whispered back.

"Yeah, we've already started trying," Kate said. "Cross your fingers!" Claire smiled and did so. Kate laughed.

"So, Jack is there a reason you invited us all here this evening?" Charlie asked.

Jack smiled at Rachel. "Well, actually yes. Rachel and I have decided to get married. We invited you all here to celebrate."

Everyone started freaking out and screaming in enjoyment. They all hugged Jack and Rachel and congratulated them.

"What made you decide this happy little occasion?" Sawyer asked curiously.

"Well, we were in love with each other for so long and this chance meeting two months ago just set us on the right track. So, we made a mutual decision and decided to get married," Rachel explained. Jack kissed her cheek.

"Well, since we're on the subject of good news," Kate said standing up. "Because all of you missed our spontaneous wedding last month, Sawyer and I have decided to have a small wedding including all our friends and such."

"Really?" Shannon asked. Kate nodded. Again, they all started getting excited again.

"And I want you three to be in my wedding!" Kate said to Claire, Shannon, and Rachel.

"And you boys to be in it as well," Sawyer said to Charlie, Jack, and Boone.

"And Claire, if Aidan's up to it, we would like to make him the ring bearer," Kate said.

Claire looked at Charlie and they smiled. "Of course you can." Kate smiled and hugged Claire.

"Oh and by the way, the wedding is in 2 weeks," Sawyer said.

"What?" they all asked.
