"CHARLIE," Kate yelled from the kitchen.

Charlie burst throw the door, yawning and scratching his messy hair. "What is it," he asked.

Kate had her arms folded across her chest. "How many time do I have to tell you to wash your bowl and put it away when your done eating your cereal," Kate said, pointing to a bowl full of milk on the table. Charlie smirked.

"Yes, mom," he said giggling, picking the bowl up to wash it out.

"Jesus, I'm becoming more like my mother everyday,"Kate sighed, walking into the living room.

It had been a week since Shannon and Sayid's visit. Charlie had been doing much better.

"What's all the yelling about," Jack asked, coming out of his bedroom ready to go to work.

"Me just yelling at Charlie," Kate explained.

"What's new," Jack said rolling his eyes.

"Have a good day at work sweetheart," Kate said kissing her husband.

"Get a room," Charlie called from the doorway.

Kate looked up and playfully threw a pillow at the rocker. "It's our house," she laughed.

Charlie just shrugged and ran his hand through his dirty hair.

Jack left for work while Charlie sat watching television on the couch. Kate went to her bedroom to get ready for a doctor's appointment. As she was putting on her shirt she heard Lilah screaming. Panicked, Kate rushed out of her bedroom to see Charlie tickling the soon to be three year old fiercely. Kate laughed at her daughter's and friends antic's, then returned to her bedroom. After dressing, she stepped into the living room where Charlie and Lilah were watching cartoons and eating Chips Ahoy cookies.

"Charlie, it's 8:30 in the morning and your allowing my daughter to eat cookies," she said, snatching the cookies away from between the duo on the couch.

"Shh Kate this is the best part. I love the part when the Scooby-Doo gang unmask the villain," Charlie said, not even looking up at her but staring intently at the television.

"Your 31 years old watching Scooby Doo (AN...remember this story is 4 years after the crash..Charlie was 27 when he crashed...or at least Dominic was)," Kate said rolling her eyes.

Charlie just shrugged. "What can I say... I don't like to act my age."

"Really, I would have never guessed," Kate smirked, picking up her purse. Charlie chucked his last remaining cookie at her which hit her than fell into her purse. "Thanks," she winked taking the cookie out and taking a bite. "I need you to watch Lilah and try looking for a job will you." Charlie just nodded. Kate sighed and left the apartment.

"Say, why don't we get those cookies back out," Charlie winked at Lilah who giggled giddily. When Charlie returned Scooby Doo had ended. It was followed by a special breaking news report. It showed a male news reporter outside and tiny home that looked abandoned.

"Tragedy struck this little house today when Thomas Hesnan's 5 year old son, Jacob Hesnan was abducted off his own front lawn..."

Charlie froze. The cookie he was rasing to his mouth fell to the floor. "Oh my god," He mouthed silently. He quickly rose from his place and grabbed his coat and rushed out the door before quickly running back inside and grabbing Lilah. "Come on sweetheart we need to go and look for your cousin," he said soothingly to her, more trying to comfort himself.

Charlie ran hurriedly down the streets. "I knew giving him to Thomas was a bad idea," circled his mind over and over. After practically running for a half an hour he came to the small house that was in the back of the news report. He held Lilah by the hand, who was out of breath.

"Uncle Charlie, why did we run here," she panted. Charlie didn't answer her but just went to the door. He knocked loudly. A young woman with jet black hair answered the door.

"Who are you," she asked. Before Charlie answered he heard a hoarse voice yell, "Regina who's at the friggin door." Thomas cam into view, beer in hand. He expression immediately turned to anger. "What the hell are you doing here Pace."

"I just came to see about Jacob," Charlie said innocently. Regina let him inside. "Get out f my house," Thomas barked.

"Look let's just talk. And there's young ears in the room too," Charlie said, pointing to Lilah.

Thomas smirked. "Can't keep your hands off the ladies can you. Maybe you should consider and condom."

Charlie glared at Thomas. "She's not my daughter. She's my best friend's daughter," Charlie answered.

Thomas handed his beer to Regina. "Take this baby," he said, than started to advance on Charlie.

"Are you gonna get her pregnant too than leave her," Charlie said nodding toward Regina.

"That's none of your business Pace," Thomas said lunging toward Charlie. He moved out of the way, dragging Lilah with him, who by now was crying.

"Whoa man, let's just settle this peacefully," Charlie said holding his hands up innocently.

"Thomas stop it," Regina said behind the men.

"Shut up bitch," Thomas growled still looking at Charlie. Without warning, he grabbed Charlie by the throat and backed him against the wall, breaking his grasp with Lilah's tiny hand. Thomas had the advantage for he was about 5 inches taller than Charlie was. Regina ran over and grabbed Lilah.

"Thomas stop it," she screamed, on the verge of tears.

"Shut up, just shut up," he yelled.

"Thomas please let's just settle this pea...," Charlie began but than was slammed against the wall again. His breath was becoming shorter.

"I know what you did Pace. You took that whiny piece of shit. I know you took the kid," Thomas said, his breath wreaking on alcohol falling on Charlie.

"I knew it," Charlie squeaked short of air. "You only wanted him back because you got money."

Thomas chuckled. "Well, swoon you'll be out of your misery."

Charlie wriggled underneath Thomas's grasp. His vision was darkening.

"Thomas please stop it. PLEASE," Regina cried, tears spilling down her cheeks. Charlie could not longer breathe and he felt his knees weaken. He than collapsed to the floor and everything was black.

Kate laid on the table waiting for what the doctor was soon to brief her about. He soon came into the room with a wide smile spread across his face.

"Well, Mrs. Shepard your baby is very healthy," the Doctor said.

"Well, that's good," Kate smiled.

"And another thing," the Doctor said. Kate waited for what he was going to say. "Your going to have twins."

"WHAT," Kate yelled in surprise.

"Twins, Mrs. Shepard," the Doctor replied. Kate smiled in shock as the word went round and round in her head...twins.

When Kate's appointment was over she realized that Jack's shift was over and she would go and tell him the good news. When she finally found him he was already halfway out of the hospital doors.

"Jack," Kate yelled.

Jack whipped around and smiled when he saw his wife. "Well, hello there," he said in a deep voice.

"I have some news," Kate smiled.

"And that us," Jack said in anticipation.

"Were having twins," Kate laughed.

Jack's eyes widened. "Twins," he said making sure he heard right. Kate nodded. "That's great," he said hugging his wife. "Come on let's go home and tell Charlie and Lilah," Jack said, escorting Kate out the door.

When the couple got home they were both giddy with joy. Both smiling and continuously kissing. "Charlie, Lilah where are you," Kate yelled. There was no answer. "Charlie," she yelled again.

"Where did they go," Jack asked.

"I have no clue," Kate said. "Maybe he took Lilah out."

Jack shrugged and checked his watch. It was a little past three. "We'll just wait up for them," jack said and Kate nodded.

By 7, Charlie and Lilah were still not home. Kate was shaking. "What if he, kidnapped her, I mean he is going through drug withdrawal," Kate said shakily.

Jack gave Kate a dirty look. "Why would you even suggest a thing like that," he growled.

"I'm sorry,"Kate said looking to the floor.

"I'm going out to look for them." Jack said picking up his car keys.

"Stay safe," Kate called after him.

Jack felt like he had driven around the entire city of Sydney 12 times but he kept driving. He was about to turn back home when he saw a weeping woman holding what looked to be Lilah in her arms. She was seated on a street corner. Jack parked the car and got out.

"Excuse me Miss," Jack said and the woman looked up. It was indeed Lilah in her arms.

"Lilah," Jack yelled running over and grabbing his daughter. "Why do you have my daughter."

She just cried. "Thomas," she wept.

"What," Jack asked.

"A man came in with her. Thomas...Thomas," she said before breaking out in tears. "He had this plan to frame this man named Charlie with the kidnapping of Thomas's son. I said it was a bad idea. That man just came to ask some questions and wasn't even doing anything and Thomas he..he..," Regina couldn't speak anymore for she was overcome with tears.

"Tell me, where's Thomas," Jack demanded fiercely.

"1722 Lockley Street," she cried.

Jack nodded. He handed Regina Lilah and his key's. "Take her to Sydney apartment complex on Fesston Road. Apartment number 66," Jack said. Regina nodded and rushed into the car. She then sped off.

Jack looked and around and saw that he was already on Lockley Street but a few blocks away from 1722. He ran down the street as fast as he could. Panic filled every pore of his body. What had Thomas done? Obviously it had been bad to make the young woman break down into such violent rushes of tears. When he came to 1722 and hurried to the door and knocked. When there was no answer he tried the door which was locked. He kicked the door in causing it to come crashing down. The lamp in thecorner was on but didn't provide much light.

"Regina what the hell are...," Thomas stopped when he saw Jack. "Who the hell are you."

Jack ran over to Thomas and pushed him against the kitchen counter. "Where the hell is Charlie," he demanded.

Thomas just laughed. "Let's play hot and cold. When your near I'll tell you your hot. If your not near him I'll tell you your cold," he said.

"How bout we play you tell me where he is or I'll be the living shit out of you," Jack growled.

"I liked my suggestion better," Thomas said in a cocky manner. Jack punched Thomas in the face causing his nose to bleed.

"Jesus Christ," Thomas said backing away and then returned the punch to Jack who flew backwards. It soon turned into a bloody fist fight. Jack's nose andcheek poured blood. He then grabbed Thomas by the collar.

"You tell me where he is now," Jack screamed. Thomas put his malicious smile on again and kicked the carpet over to reveal a tiny trap door in the wooden floor.

"Took me week's to build the thing to hide the kid," Thomas laughed.

"You make me sick," Jack said throwing him to the floor. Thomas just laughed hysterically on the floor. Jack pulled the trap door open. It eerily reminded him of the time he, Charlie, and Claire had been kidnapped back on the island. Thomas came up from behind him, ready to knock him inside but Jack turned around and kicked him int the stomach than with his elbow knocked him unconscious. He turned back to the hole in the floor.

"Charlie," Jack yelled. He heard a low whimper. he looked up and saw a flashlight on the kitchen counter. He returned to the hole after retrieving it and shined it down into the hold. It wasn't very deep. What he saw disgusted him. Jacob was looking up at him. He wasn't the handsome boy he used to be. He was scrawny and thin. His large blue eyes were gray. His face was raw and tear stained. Jack jumped down into the hole. A little to the back he saw a heap. He shined the flashlight on it to reveal an unconscious, bloody, and mangled Charlie.

"Jesus," Jack said rushing over to him. His good arm was laying at an odd angle. Jack ran his finger's through Charlie's sweaty messy hair. His breathing was ragged. Jack felt strong anger and hate towards Thomas. He obviously wasn't in his right mind. Jack hurried out of the hold to call an ambulance. He returned to Jacob and Charlie, praying he would soon hear the sirens ring through the night.

PLEASE R&R!
