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 I owned Lost, I wouldn't make the wait 4 friggin months.
A/N: Arg, I'm sorry I've been REALLY busy and stuff, and I've been having major writers block, so...yah. I'm going to try REALLY hard to make less update waiting time. I've also been working on this Jack and Kate post-rescue fic, so It's been hectic.
A/N2: I renamed the baby Aaron, just to make it easier.
A/N3: I want to thank everyone who reviewed my other story "Prison Break". Thanks a lot to all of you! And a special shout out to Trisha, whose awesome! (When I was writing the Kate part at the beginning 'Let Me Go' By 3 Doors Down was playing o.0 Thought that was freaky)
Chapter 5: The Truth Part 2
Claire put Aaron to sleep. Charlie stood near her, smiling down at the little boy. " I'll watch him for you, why don't you go take a walk?"
Claire agreed, and made her way out of the tent. She spotted Shannon sitting in the sand, making shapes in the sand.
"Would you like to go for a walk with me?" asked Claire.
Shannon turned up her nose in disgust, but she decided maybe she could ask Claire for some parenting tips. "Sure" Shannon answered, mustering up the best smile she could.
Kate had been avoiding Jack. It's not that she didn't like him. She did. And she liked him a lot. It's just that she knew how this was going to end. As soon as they got rescued, she was going to jail, and he would be heart broken. And she couldn't do that to him. Last time, the one person she had truly loved had ended up dieing. So she wasn't letting that happen again.
" Do you to go for a walk with us, Kate?" asked Claire as she and Shannon walked by.
"Uh, sure" Kate answered, realizing this would be a excuse to get away when Jack made his daily rounds at the beach, which would be any second.
As the 3 women walked, small talk ensued. "Can I ask you two a question?" Claire asked.
"Okay" Shannon answered slowly.
" Which one us you in pregnant?"
"I am" Shannon said quietly. Kate nodded.
" Oh! Well, I figured it was Kate because Sawyer said-"
" I asked Sawyer for the pregnancy test for Shannon" Kate explained
"So, I'm guessing the lucky man is Sayid then?' Claire told her.
"No" Shannon shook her head sadly.
"Who, then?" questioned Claire. Kate had been wondering. But she knew a thing or two privacy and not being nosy.
"You promise you won't tell?" Shannon asked as the friends walked down the beach.
"Yea, I guess" Kate said, confused. "Why would we tell anyone? It's not like it's Boone or someone else-" Kate stopped walking when she saw Shannon's face. "Oh my God, it's Boone"
Shannon quickly started explaining " We're not actually blood related. We're step brother and step sister. He's always had feelings for me, and one night I got drunk and-"
"We get it, we get it" Kate said. " I swear I won't tell anyone"
"Ya, me too" Claire replied "Does Sayid know?"
"Yes" Shannon answered. She realized how far down the beach they had walked." We should head back"
The two other girls agreed. The way back was silence, as they tried to figure out the revelation they had just heard.
Claire heard Aaron crying, and ran over to the tent, while Shannon went to go look for Sayid.
Kate wasn't sure what to do, until she realized the person she had been avoiding was walking right towards her.
Thanks to reviewers, who rock my world!
JerseyGrl00320-I've been trying to make the chapters longer, but I've been rushing a bit. This one was pretty short, sorry about that. I hate OCC's, by the way, so mine are as close as possible to the real ones.
miss jasadin- I know there wasn't Much J/K is this one, so next chapter there will be more. Glad you like it so far.
Freckles-101- Trust me, you can write impaired reviews whenever you want.
lostobsessivefreak- I'm glad you liked the kiss, and my story so far. The update took like a month, but I'm glad you liked it.
Whirlwind-2005- That update wasn't soon, sorry, but I'm glad to here you kept reading, and though only two people know so far, more people will find out, I'll guarantee that.
Next Chapter: Back by popular demand, Jack and Kate fluff, woohoo! But, something REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BAD happens (not to them, don't worry)
