Title: Mistakes, Heartaches and Birthday Cakes Rating: PG-13 (The same as regular Lost)
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, we would being have more make-out scenes that don't involve brothers and sisters.

A/N: I'M SO SORRY! Really, I'm really, really, really, really, sorry. After I posted the first chapter, my computer got messed, up and I had to reformat the hard drive and crap…. So long story short, I'm UBER SORRY!Please don'y hurt me. Updates will never take this long again. So, any who, here's the second chapter.
A/N2: The next episode looks kick-ass, if I do say so myself. I CAN'T WAIT AFTER A BAJILLION WEEKS OF REPEATS (More like three, but who really cares?)

Mistakes, Heartaches and Birthday Cakes

Chapter Two: The Truth

Shannon hasn't been catching must sleep lately, and it was catching up on her. She hadn't realized it until Sayid had brought it up a few days after her midnight walk.

"Shannon, have you been getting enough sleep? You've got huge circles under your eyes" Sayid questioned her as they hung up wet laundry.

"I'm fine" Shannon answered, hoping he'd drop the subject. He didn't. "What's wrong, Shannon?" he asked again, clearly worried.
She wanted to tell him. She really did. But what would he think? She couldn't bear to see the look in his eyes. The disgust. She knew that wasn't Sayid's nature, but she knew what would happen. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

"You've got to tell me what's wrong. You should look at your self," he pleaded, his brow furrowed in confusion. Shannon finally got her voice box to work.

"I'm pregnant" she said quietly, looking down. "But-I…we" Sayid started, putting his hand to his forehead.

Shannon cut him off. "It's not yours" She took a gulp "It's Boone's" It all spilled out from their. Them being actually step-siblings, the fights, the feuds, the anger, and then of course, the one night in Sydney.

" I never want to that dumb-asses face again. I hate his guts. He ruined-oh I'm sorry, ruins everything. I thought-I thought I could start over on this island. But now-now I can't." She placed a hand on her stomach.

The whole time her head had stayed down. But she looked up now. But instead of seeing the rejection she had expected, she saw… comfort. And understanding. He pulled her into a hug, and she wrapped her arms around him and cried into his neck.
He ran his hands down her hair, whispering that it would be okay.

"I'm sorry," she said, wiping her eyes.
"Why are you apologizing to me?" Sayid asked, placing a stray hair behind her ear "Besides, are you sure you're pregnant?"

Shannon sniffed "My feet are swelling, my stomach's growing and I haven't had my period in over a month. I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant"

"I would suggest talking to Jack, and the Boone-" Sayid started.

"I'm not speaking to the bastard again in my whole life." Shannon retorted.

"It is half his fault" Sayid pointed out "And he is the father"

Shannon sighed "You're right, I'll see you later" She gave him a quick kiss and went in search of Boone.

"Locke, have you seen Boone?" Shannon asked. She had been looking for nearly an hour, and her legs were starting to hurt.

"I thought you didn't want to talk to him anymore" Locke said, gutting some mysterious animal.

"I just really need to talk to him" Shannon told him, getting impatient.

"He went that way" Locke pointed to the west, or what was west on the island.

"Thanks' Shannon told him, and pushed through the foliage.

Boone was sitting on a log doing… something. Shannon didn't care. She had come here for a reason, and she was going to tell him. "What do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" asked Boone coldly.

"I have to talk to you," Shannon said, sitting down next to him.
"What's up?"

"I'm pregnant" she told him quietly.

"Oh, I see," Boone scowled.

"It's not Sayid's, it's yours, dumb ass" Shannon snapped

"What? How did this happen?" Boone asked, shocked.

"Do I need to remind you? Did someone forget to give you the birds and the bees talk?" Shannon snarled.
"I know how this happened, Shannon" Boone sighed. "So, what are you going to do about it?"

" I'm going to have it, that's what" Shannon explained matter-of-fact.

"And you plan on the telling the other survivors….how?"

Shannon hadn't thought about that, she doubted the other survivors would understand as well as Sayid did. " I don't yet Boone. But I want you to remember something. This is my baby just as much as it is yours." Shannon told him. She stood up and left the clearing, leaving Boone with only the thoughts of being a father.

Reviews, as always AWESOME! Thanks to my review-ees:

suspencer- Boone gets enough love from my friends, who, in someway, find him hot. Whatever. But trust me, where I come from, Boone has more than enough snuggles.

pamz- I think Sawyer's most likely got all the condoms and BC pills, and getting some from him will be the problem. I'd actually pay to see that conversation. Trust me, I know every spoiler there is to no(I just can't help it!) And I'll work on making the cahpters longer, they seem longer in my journal, but hey, I have big handwriting.

Freckles-101- Of course there's Jack and Kate, whats a story with out Jack and Kate? No, I'm just kidding(I think) Anyway, Shannon and Sayid are a uber cute couple, though I scoffed at it first, it seems to be working.

Lostgurl- Laura, whatever. Jack's hotter. Period.

Carly- This wasn't a fast update(Sorry!) But I'm glad you like it.

Lostobsessivefreak- Not much of a soon update, so again, sorry. Its good to know I'm not the only Boone hater, since I'm surronded by Boone lovers Every.single.day. It's really annoying.

Jerseygrl00320- Glad to know you like it! And Ihate Sawyer/Kate stuff too. There seems to be an abundance of Skater stuff going around(Bleh!) but hey, a month ago it was almost all Jack and Kate. But hey, you win some you lose some. But screwing Kate/Sawyer stuff is what I do (when I'm not supportingJack/Kate stuff)

Whirlwind-2005:Still a secret (for the most part) and I don't undertsnad people who like Boone. But that means I don't understand any of my friends. Oh well.

Mysti Geiger- Not much of a soon update, SORRY SORRY SORRY! But I'll keep that in mind, making longer chapters.

Next Chapter- Since we have had 0.000001 Oh Jack/Kate so far, it's time for some, right? So next chapter Jack and Shannon talk, then Kate and Jack, and someone's pissed OFF! And it's not Boone. Hmmmm...
