A/N: I own no lost people

Chapter 4: A Day In The Life Of Cecilia

Sawyer had never had the opportunity to stay with Malia for a whole day. He volunteered himself to take her down to the beaches and watch her for the day. Kate decided to come with him, much to everyone surprise. He picked her up and grabbed his backpack.

" Time to go!" Sawyer said in a sweet voice to her. She giggled.

" Go bye-bye!" She said, giggling like she had said the funniest joke in the world. Kate picked up her backpack and they began to walk down the path.

" So Sawyer, mind if I ask you something?" she asked. Sawyer looked over at her. She was asking him something and it didn't sound like it was a retort or a frustrated exclamation.

" Sure."

" Why do you like her so much?" Sawyer's inside froze. He wanted to tell Kate, he wanted her to think of him as not so much of a loser as she did. But how do you tell someone who's impression of you is a bad ass and a womanizer that Cecilia reminds him of the only girl he ever loved? He decided to go for it.

" Do you want me to tell you a long boring story that involves me?"

" It's a long path, spill." Sawyer sighed. Here it goes. So he started on his story. He told her about his mother, her killer, his alias , his job. Then he told her about Renee, he told her about her announcement hat she was pregnant. He told her about his job in NC and how he missed her birth, how he didn't want a girl, but how she had stolen his heart. He felt like a sissy, but Kate seemed to enjoy hearing about it. They had reached the clearing that lead to the beach.

" Do you normally tell people this story?" She asked. Of course he hadn't, he thought, this was the first time he had even said it out loud!

" No, actually I haven't..told anyone." He said.

" Sayewer!" Cecilia, who had been listening silently, broke in. She was pointing at the ocean in awe. Sawyer set her down and let her run ahead of them.

" That's weird, you would have thought she'd seen the ocean by now!" They picked up the pace. Cecilia was running to the edge and running from the waves every time they crashed, giggling furiously.

" Do you wanna go in?" He asked her, pointing to the ocean. She jumped up onto his shoulders.

" With Sayewer!" She said. He picked her up all the way.

" Oh what the hell." He started to walk into the waves.

" Don't go too far Sawyer!" Kate yelled. He turned around, a smirk on his face.

" What are you worried?" She smiled.

" Is it a problem if I am?" Cecilia seemed to love the water. Sawyer showed her how to stay above the water. Kate stood by the waters edge, smiling as they played. After about 45 minutes, they came back in.

" Woohwee!" Sawyer exclaimed, shaking his wet hai out. Cecilia, who was standing next to him, shook her curls.

" Wewee!" She mimicked. Kate laughed.

" That's so cute!" She reached into her bag.

" Do you want some lunch?" She asked her. She looked puzzled.

" Do you want to eat?" Sawyer asked her. She smiled and nodded her head vigorously, spraying Sawyer with more water. Kate set up a blanket and took out 2 large pieces of dried boar meat, 3 papayas, and three bottles of water.

They walked back to the caves, Cecilia racing in front of them. They didn't talk much, though they kept looking up at each other from time to time. Sawyer was happy, he had the opportunity to prove himself as not so much of a loser.

Everyone in he camp seemed to love Cecilia. She was so sweet and innocent. But every time someone mentioned the word "Mommy", She would begin to breath hard and cry, and only Sawyer could make her better.

Kate walked over to where Sawyer was sitting, playing with Cecilia. He looked up at her.

" Tomorrow, we're going to look for her mother, and well, I think you should come with her."

" And Jack wants me to come?" She gave a small smile.

" No, I want you to come." she suddenly looked shocked with herself.

" Well, bye!" She walked back over to Jack. Sawyer smiled down at Cecilia.

" Why didn't you come along before this stupid island?" She looked up and smiled.

" Love Sayewer." She said and laid down on th side of his leg.

" Love you too, Cecilia."
