Chapter 1
Kate watched him as she drew closer watching his expression but it seemed stunned and he wasn't doing anything. Everyone else who was on the beach was running to greet them but him he just watched. She walked over. "Hello Sawyer."
He stood there with his eyes boring into her like he couldn't or rather wouldn't believe the sight before him. She was pregnant no she couldn't be it must be a figment of his imagination he waited for her why couldn't she wait till she came back so they could be together. "I waited for you and you got yourself banged up by someone else perfect Freckles."
He saw the flash of hurt cross her eyes and he knew that instant without even having her say something. He'd said the wrong thing even before he felt the slap she gave him. He put a hand to his cheek as she stomped off. He saw Jack jerk his head towards her. He raced after. "You know of all the self-centered things these last six months I'd replayed over and over again in my mind that I thought you'd say that certainly wasn't one of them," she said. He could hear the hurt in her voice.
Sawyer bit his lip and looked down at the ground. "I'm sorry Kate I know that doesn't make up for this but why didn't you come back sooner?" he asked.
Kate turned to him and looked at him with tears in her eyes. "'Cause I thought you'd turn me away you wouldn't want this child," she said. That struck deeper than she wanted it too. She regretted it instantly as soon as the words came out she sighed and ran her fingers through her hair.
He looked at her with penetrating eyes. "That just shows how little you know of me Freckles," he said softly. He bit his lip and turned to walk away and then stopped and turned back to look at her. "If you knew you were pregnant why didn't you try to get me to go harder?"
She looked at him and then looked down at the floor. "'Cause I wanted you to come with me because you wanted too not because you felt obligated too." She looked at Jack who was now standing beside a girl she didn't recognize.
Sawyer looked at her and tilted her chin towards him. "Six months Kate six months I have sat when I could on this beach watching for you too return." He stroked her hair softly and sighed. "I did want to go with you but yes I can admit this I was scared of what that would mean."
Kate looked at him oddly like he had grown a second head or something. "You Sawyer are a very strange man but I have wanted to come back but I needed time away from this feud I suppose you could call it." She touched his face gently with the palm of her hand and gave him a soft smile. "It wasn't to get away from you."
He nodded and shrugged a little "well I suppose we were both a little stupid then its called a failure to communicate with the one I love." His eyes widened slightly when he realized what he'd just said and bit his lip when he saw hers do the same thing. What was she going to do now he'd admitted something that had been simmering below the surface for so long.
She bit her lip and looked anywhere but him. She'd been in love one time in her life and that had been Tom but now slowly but surely she'd been letting her heart open again to let someone else in. But she was petrified that since her love always seemed to cause more pain than anything else she was worried something would happen to him and it would be her fault. She finally sucked it in when he was starting to look worried. "I love you too Sawyer."
Sawyers grin widened as the worried lines came off his forehead. He ran his fingers down the side of her face and smiled a little. "Well thats good to hear Freckles would hate it to be one sided." He smirked a little.
Kate sighed and punched him in the arm. Somethings never changed she supposed but she could live with that it would take some getting used to living with him but she could deal with it. She lay her hand on her stomach and smiled a little she was carrying a little baby now she knew how Claire felt. "Well you'd better love me or the baby might have something to say about it you know."
He smiled and knealt down and lay his head on her stomach and felt the baby kick. "Wow its just so different when someone is carrying your child." He kissed her stomach softly. "Hi baby I'm your daddy." Kate looked at him and rolled her eyes.
((this is my first time writing Shayid. While I have wrote Shannon I've never done Sayid and I've never actually done them together either so this is gonna be awkward so bear with me))
Shannon walked up the beach she hadn't seen Sayid in six months and she was worrried he'd moved on without her. Which was silly she looked over and saw Sawyer and Kate reuniting she smiled a little being out in the middle of the jungle had changed her a lot. She saw Sayid walking towards her. When he got close enough he just looked at her. "Hello Shannon," he said.
She bit her lip and almost felt like throwing her arms around his neck but didn't think that at this point in time that was really all the appropriate. "Hello Sayid how have you been?" she asked.
He looked at her with that quiet way he did. Almost like he was scrutinizing her in a way but also in other ways just concerned. He hadn't understood at the time why she'd needed to get away, but she'd lost Boone and like the others she was going nuts with all the fighting. "I'm all right and you," he replied.
Shannon looked down and smiled a little she brought round the backpack she'd been carrying with her. She took a funny little device out. "We found this when we came across this sort of bunker in the forest we don't know what it is we thought you could figure it out," she said.
Sayid took it from her and looked at it. "I'm sure I will be able too thankyou Shannon," he said and slowly started walking off he hadn't known what he would say to her after she came back. But that wasn't exactly how he wanted it to go.
