Chapter 3! Hope y'all like it 'cause I had a blast writing it. Please review, make mummy happy!
Sawyer had to get rid of the kid. If it weren't for Kate's interest, he would've dumped her onto some unsuspected sap. But Kate liked the kid, therefor Sawyer was 'Pa'.
"Sawyer, It's a nice thing your doing. For that kid. Her parents must've died in the crash." Kate smiled at Sawyer, putting her hand on his shoulder "Didn't know you had it in you."
Sawyer just grinned his cocky grin and leaned back on his elbows. "Hey who said I couldn't be a nice guy"
Kate raised her eyebrows "She's a sweet kid. Take care of her." Kate got to her feet and walked back down the beach.
Struggling to his feet Sawyer sighed. "You ready yet kid?" He shouted, and rolled his eyes when the muffled reply came back. "Just wait pa"
Several minutes later, a shirtless Sawyer was holding Jenny's waist, he little legs kicking away.
"Keep breathing" He said loudly, as Jenny's head shot up gasping for air. "I am! I am pa!" She was beyond excited, her father never had the time for this back home. Despite the face they lived right on the beach.
Kate watched from the shore as Sawyer frantically pulled her head up "I said breathe!" He shouted, Jenny sputtering, nodded.
"Now you kick your legs and move your arms" He demonstrated.
Jenny dived under amazed she was actually moving on her own. She opened her eyes and smiled, her cheeks puffed up, full of air.
Then things went downhill.
Sawyer was glad she'd learnt so quickly, it had only taken a few hours. He hadn't wanted to be down here all day teachin' some kid not to drown.
Of course, he wasn't doing to well. A few more seconds passed and Sawyer looked around. Jenny still hadn't surfaced. In a moment of panic, Sawyer dived under, a concerned Kate was joined by Michael and Walt. "What's he doing?" Walt asked.
Kate shook her head "Sawyer?" She shouted. Sawyer surfaced Jenny in his arms. She was coughing but seemed otherwise unharmed. "How many times do I have to tell you to breathe!"
He carried Jenny back to the beach, setting her on the sand. Kate looked her over, checked her breathing while Sawyer ran to his tent to get a towel.
He returned and wrapped her small body up to stop her shivering. "Thank you Pa" She whispered before falling to sleep out of sheer exhaustion.
Jack raced over as soon as he'd heard the news. "Sawyer! If you didn't want the kid just say so, No need to drown her" He said frowning.
Kate smiled up at him "She's fine, just tired." Jack nodded and rested a hand on Kates shoulder.
later that day...
Sawyer was reading a wrinkle in time when Jenny finally woke up. Sawyer handed her a water bottle absentmindly, absorbed in his book.
Jenny struggled with the lid, grunting as she tried to twist it open. Sawyer set his book down, and took the bottle from her, opening and handing it back.
Jenny smiled gratefully and Sawyer smiled too, he said something, but from her spot on the beach Shannon couldn't hear what it was.
Sayid came up behind her. "I heard about what happened at the beach..I don't think it's wise to let him near a child" He said gesturing towards Sawyer and Jenny, Who were currently, Arguing over a chocolate bar.
Shannon tilted her head to the side. "I don't know...He seems to be taking care of her"
But the little girl stood up, angry that Sawyer had gotten the chocolate. "Don't take that off me! You silly jackass" She screamed.
The look on Shannon and Sayids face was priceless. Sawyers mouth fell open and he hooted loudly. "Well I'll be Damned!"
Sayid had a ghost of smile on his lips. "As I said, I don't think it's a good idea" Shannon smiled taking his hand and staring into his deep brown eyes. "I do know one good idea" She said leading him away from the beach.
"Oh? And what's your idea" She whispered something into his ear and laughed at the shocked look on his face, stunned he followed her into the jungle.
The next morning, as the sun casted different shades of gold over the whole camp, Sawyer rubbed his eyes and sat up. Jenny was snoring lightly. He smiled. Finally, some alone time.
He staggered towards the middle of the beach, where Jack and Sayid were helping to start the fire. As soon as he entered the circle, the whole camp erupted into laughter. Jack stifled a laugh, and Sayid had an unsual grin on his face.
Sawyer raised his eyebrows, confused. Shannon came tumbling out of the jungle "Jack, Claire wants to..." She stopped mid sentance and burst into a fit of giggles.
"What is just so damned funny stixs?" He glared.
Barely managing to stop laughing long enough, Shannon took a small compact mirror out of her pocket. She flicked it open and turned it to face Sawyer.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" He yelled. In the mirror was the face of Sawyer, covered in melted chocolate.
Shannon was beginning to start another giggling fit and to add to the mess, Kate wandered into the camp.
It took a second to register that it was Sawyer under all the chocolate, and soon she too was laughing uncontrollably. "Oh Ha ha" Sawyer said wiping what he could off his face.
Stompin back up to his tent, he found Jenny sitting on the end of his bed, a smirk on her face.
"Hi Pa" She said cheerfully. Sawyer glared. "You..You little..." He mumbled under his breath and dragged her to her feet. "where we going pa?" She questioned. Sawyer didn't answer, just picked her up and swung her over his shoulder.
They neared the fire again, and as he entered Hurley called back "Hey look who's back! Choco-Man!" Walt laughed but was silenced by a smouldering glare.
Sawyer waltzed up to Jack and dumped Jenny at his feet. "Congratulations it's a girl"
He turned on his heel and yet again stomped back to his tent.
Kate smiled at Jenny "C'mon sweetie, me and Jack will take of you"
This last sentence was heard by Sawyer, and he immediatly regretted handing her over...
Kate whispered into Jacks ear as they returned to Jacks spot on the beach
"He'll be back"
