A/N: Hey! I'm still mad about Boone, I hope Locke dies a painful death! MUHAHA! Sorry, getting carried away. This story is definently having a sequel, it'll be called, " Just The Two Of Us And You" I'm not a mary-suer, but it'll be good. Anyway, back to this story! I own No Lost People.

Chapter 7: Not Mine

The weeks wore on slowly as Isabella fought for her life. Each morning, Sun would give her an herb for her disease, Jack thought it was an African Sleeping Sickness, which is incurable. She seemed to know it was the end. The person who seemed to take the greatest liking to Isabella was Sawyer. Each morning, he would go into her tent and tell her everything that Cecilia had done and said that day. On the last day of the week, while all the men worked to finish the hut, Sawyer paid a visit to her after Jack said she wasn't responding to the herbs. She was laying on a first class seat with her eyes closed. She looked up as he walked in. She smiled.

" Hello Sawyer." He smiled and sat down in Jack's usual seat.

" How are you feeling?" He asked. She gave a grim smile.

" Well, I'm sure you've heard, I probably only have a few weeks left in my useless life." she smiled again and a tear rolled down her cheek.

" Don't say that." Sawyer said. She sighed.

" Oh Sawyer, even you can't deny it. I've never seen the other world. I've wanted to see it so bad my whole life. But I'll die here, Sawyer, you know as well as I. And I've done it to poor Cecilia too!" She began to cry silently, tears rolling down her flushed cheeks. Sawyer reached out and took her hand.

" Isabella! Don't say that! Cecilia loves you! I don't believe in false hope, but I sure as hell don't think her chances are gone." Isabella wiped her tear-stained face and smiled.

" She loves me, Sawyer, but she loves you just as much. Your what she needs, Sawyer." Sawyer sighed. He couldn't deny it. That's all he thought about. From the moment he laid eyes on the little girl in the dark bushes those many weeks ago, he had loved her. He dreamed, with out meaning it, about her growing up around him.

" And you love her, don't you, Sawyer." She said, as a statement rather then a question. He paused.

" I do." She smiled brightly.

" I'll fight Sawyer, I know its false, but Ill fight." he nodded and stood up.

" Thank you, oh, I forgot" he reached into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled wild violet that Cecilia had given Sawyer to give to her mom.

" She told me, and I do quote, tell mommy CeCe loves her." He smiled brightly and handed her the flower. She beamed.

" Your all I ever hoped for her, Sawyer, send my love to her too." He nodded and left the tent.

He made his way back over to the men who where working on the hut. Kate turned away as he approached.

"She won't be around to much longer." He said, picking up a bamboo log and helping her move it to te easts ide of the hut.

" Your keeping her alive, Sawyer." He stopped. Kate stopped too.

" What do you mean?" He asked. She smiled.

" Jack says a person with African Sleeping Sickness usually die about a week after there off medication. She's been alive for two mothes with nothing more then a few home-remedie herbs." She said, lifting her log up onto the post and picking up a makeshift camera.

"Soo.. What does hat mean?" Kate set down her ammer and looked him in the eye.

' Sawyer, she is sustaining by the fact that you've given her hope, Jack didn't want to tell you, but it's the only way she would have had a chance to survive. Sawyer, she's improving! Jack said that's almost impossible with out medicine." She stopped.

" Why didn't Jack want to tell me?' He asked. She gave a small smile.

" I don't know, he didn't want to give you credit for doing something good, I guess, he probabley thought you'd stop if you knew you where doing good."

" Why did you tell me, then?" She sighed and smiled, picking her hammer back up and banging in the post.

" Sawyer, your not as bad as you make yourself out to be. I figured, well, you needed to know that your doing good." She said. She looked at him for a moment and went back to her work. She didn't know it, but that's what he needed to hear from her.
