Title: Mistakes, Heartaches and Birthday Cakes

Rating: PG-13 (The same as regular Lost, so we've got incest pregnancy, mild cursing and the like)
Summary: An island pregnancy is bringing tension and the threat of the others even closer than before. But that's not stopping romance from budding. Shan/Say, J/K and C/C Disclaimer: If only I owned Lost… If I did, Lost would be Jack and Kate flirting for an hour.
A/N: Okay, Okay. I know I said I would put up a sequel to Warnings. But instead, I deleted it. evil laughter So no sequel. Umm any who, here's my next story, I hope you all enjoy. A/N2: I started writing this story before "Numbers" aired, so purely coincidental that Claire had her birthday here. I was surprised when it happened in Numbers, to say the least

Thanks: To Laura, for being oh-so-supportive of this fanfic(She rolled her eyes when she heard aboutit.)

Chapter One: Routines

Shannon slowly made her way down the beach, as darkness fell upon the camps. She heard the snores of various survivors as she walked. She hadn't been able to sleep the past couple of days, so walking at midnight had become like a routine for her. She involuntary shivered and wrapped her arms around herself. Even if she tried to sleep, all she could her was the constant push and pull of the ocean waves, which had started to drive everyone insane. She found it funny that waves had been what she played on her sound soother back at home.

Home. How she longed to go there. With mattresses and actual food and pillows and phones. A place where she could of actually raise this baby.

She placed a hand on her stomach and smiled sadly. She was positive it was growing. She grimaced when she thought of whose fault it was. Ever since Boone had showed up in Sydney, her world had consistently spiraled downward. No, ever since her father and his mother had married, her life had sucked. Sure, she grew up wealthy, and had friends, but Boone was always there, making a fool of himself. Ruining everything. How she hated him.

She smirked as she watched Kate emerge from the woods and slip quietly into her tent. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Kate had stayed late at the caves again because Jack was there. She thought it was cute, really.

Shannon plopped down on the sand at left the water cover her ankles. She shivered again. Just when she thought she could start over and forget her past, Boone had to ruin everything. She grabbed a handful of sand and flung it into the ocean. She wanted scream.

Out of no where, the rain began pouring, and Shannon immediately felt soaking wet. Now she really wanted to scream. She quickly got up and ran back to her tent. And as far as she was concerned, her walk was over for the night.

Claire smiled down at her two-month old boy, Joseph. She gently placed a kiss on his forehead as he slept in her arms. It was a miracle that he was here today, thanks mostly to Jack. But the real reason she thought she had delivered the healthy baby was probably Charlie. He had been there the whole time, letting her squeeze his hand, and she still hadn't thanked him enough.

"Hello Claire" Charlie stated as he sat down next to her on a log. He placed a leaf with boar meat next to her.

"Hey Charlie. Guess what? I had more dreams last night" Claire told him.

"Really? What about?" asked Charlie.

"Jack was offering me sedatives, I don't know why though. And then I was running away, and you were walking with me. Then I thought I was going into labor, and then-I remember someone standing above us, and I woke up" Claire confided.

"Ethan, the bloody bastard…" Charlie muttered under his breath.

"Charlie. What happened? Why did he kidnap us?" Claire questioned.

"Honestly Claire, I dunno" Charlie answered. "All I remember is him knocking us out, and next thing I knew, Jack and Kate were standing over me." Claire nodded, disappointment on her face. But she knew better than to press for information that wasn't there.

"Speaking of Jack and Kate," she said, changing the subject "What going on between he two of them?"

Charlie smirked "I don't even think they know." They both looked down towards the shoreline. There sat Jack and Kate, having one of there talks. This island threw twists and turns their way everyday, but Charlie knew the feeling of having someone there holding you down. He had Claire.It was hard to miss the dark circles under Jack's eyes.Kate was holding him down. And everyone knew it. Though some hated to admit it (Sawyer), it was painfully obvious. Excpet maybe to Jack and Kate.

Reviews, as always, AWESOME! and i know there wasn't much J/K in this. But it gets better.

Next Chapter: Shannon confesses her dirty little secret to Sayid. And then has to go talk to DumBoone(I hate Boone, if you couldn't tell)
