The group was almost to the beach when Claire heard a low cry. She stopped in her tracks and listened for it again. She was helping Jack bring Charlie back to the caves so when she stopped it brought Jack to an abrupt halt.

"What is it Claire whats wrong," he said.

"Listen," She whispered.

Everyone stopped walking and stood incredibly still. They heard crickets and flies but nothing special. Then it came again.

"It sounds like," Sayid said.

"A baby," Claire cut him off.

She lightly let Charlie down and walked to her right.

"Jacob," She called.

Silence.

"Lilah, Jillian, Jacob," she called again.

"Mommy," a petrified voice cried.

"Jacob," She yelled running to him.

He ran to her with Lilah bounding behind him. A little bundle could be seen out of the corner of her eye and she knew it was Jillian. She cried as she lifted her son in her arms. She put Jacob down and grabbed Jillian.

"Come on you two, we have to get back because daddy needs some...well we just need to get back" she explained to the children.

When they got back to the group Kate and Jack were ecstatic to see Lilah, and Sayid was close to tears when he saw Jillian. They got back on the move because Charlie needed to get back.

Jack could hear waves crashing. The sound of angels singing was what it was like to him. They emerged from the bushes and out onto the sand only to see a grim scene. The camp was burnt to the ground. Jack turned to Kate speechless.

"It was the work of Ethan and his chums," she said sadly. "Michael was killed."

Jack looked at the ground in sadness but kept going until they were under a tarp where he could check Charlie.

Claire has tears streaming down her face when she saw the camp. How hadn't she realized it before? She made up the theory that it was too dark and she was to concerned for Charlie and Jack. The whole camp was coming up and saying how much they missed all of them. She smiled and nodded but she got tired of it and went to the cave where Jack was looking at Charlie. She grabbed Charlie's hand.

"Will he be all right," she asked?

"He'll be fine. He's lost a lot of blood so when he wakes up he will be very weak and vulnerable," Jack said.

"Vulnerable," Claire asked?

"He will pass out simultaneously and he will get sick easily," Jack explained.

Claire nodded. "At least he will be all right."

Jack nodded. "He's damn lucky."

Claire sighed and sat next to Charlie. Jack was still trying to a the bleeding, which was only a little. They hadn't said anything to each other for about 20 minutes.

"I remember," Claire whispered.

"What," Jack said looking up from Charlie.

"I remember," she said a little louder.

"Remember what," Jack said confused.

"Catch a falling star," She smiled, looking down at Charlie.

Jack smiled. "He should wake up soon. Do you mind sitting next to him?", Jack asked.

"Oh no of course not," Claire said.

Jack left the tent and snuggled up next to Charlie. She looked at him and took his blonde wisps out of his eyes. She smiled. it was her Charlie, wounded yet safe.

"Catch a falling star an' put it in your pocket,

Never let it fade away!

Catch a falling star an' put it in your pocket,

Save it for a rainy day," she sang to Charlie.

For love may come an' tap you on the shoulder,

Some star-less night!

Just in case you feel you wanna' hold her,

You'll have a pocketful of starlight!", she heard a low mumble sing to her

She looked up at Charlie who was looking down on her smiling.

"Hello love" he said weakly.

"Charlie", she whispered throwing her arms around him.

"Ouch, watch it love", Charlie winced.

"Oo Charlie I'm so sorry", she cried.

"It's okay, it's okay", Charlie said.

"I missed you so much", Claire whispered in his ear.

"I missed you more," he replied. "Where's Jakie".

"Hurly is watching him."

"You know Claire I have been wanting to ask you something," Charlie said. He reached into his pocket and felt that the ring was still there. He smiled.

"What's that," Claire asked looking up at him.

She saw a ring in his trembling, weak hand. "Will you marry me," he asked.

She looked at him as tears streamed down her face. "Yes, yes of course I will," she said. Her heart was fluttering, She had never been this happy.

"I love you Claire," Charlie said.

"I love you too",she replied resting on his shoulder.

They both shared their first kiss. Claire felt like her heart was going to burst.

She felt Charlie go limp underneath her. She knew he had passed out of consciousness. She was little sad the moment couldn't have been longer but nothing could ruin the moment. "Sweet dreams husband of mine," she said kissing him. She walked out of the cave and onto the beach. She saw Jack and walked over to him.

"He woke up but he's out again," Claire said to him.

"Did he say anything," Jack asked?

"Yeah...he proposed", she said showing him the ring.

"Claire that's wonderful," he said hugging her.

"Thank you," Claire said laughing.

Claire sat on the beach taking it all in. After all the trauma she had been through, things had gotten better. Better than ever before. She watched the waves crash, one after the other. She watch the sun sink low in the sky before it was swallowed by the ocean. This had been the best and worst day of her life. She giggled because she knew it didn't make any sense.

She walked over to Hurley to retrieve her son.

"I think it's time you come back to mommy Jacob," Claire said.

Jacob ran to Claire and she lifted him up. "I hope he didn't cause you any trouble," Claire smiled.

"Nope I'm to happy to him back," Hurley replied.

'Thank you Hurley", Claire said.

"Anytime."

Claire went to visit Charlie who was still out of it. She sighed and left the tent. She laid on a blanket beside Jacob in the sand.

"Tomorrow me and you are going to go and get our hands dirty and rebuild ourselves a place," Claire said stroking her sons hair.

Rebuilding. The word rung in her ears. Rebuilding her life.
