A/N: Hi guys! It's been over a month since Lost ended…tear, but now I'm back and starting a whole new story. I'm affectionately calling it OHAGA, so if you see that anywhere that's my story. The story takes place right now in December 2026.

JoEySaNgEl1534: You put me in your story, I put you in mine. Thanks so much for everything you've done for me. Here it is, I'm finally posting it!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you OHAGA….


Where It All Began

I walked into our generously donated apartment looking for her. " Red. Red! RED! Charlotte where are you?" Then I saw it. A clean sheet of white paper and thought the worst. I put them down and read the following note:

Catcher,

I'm sorry I'm doing this. I just can't take it anymore. I hate the constant scrutiny I'm under. I can't be here anymore. I want people to see me for me, not my mistakes. I know this is selfish, but there it is. I do love you and the kids. I just can't be there for them. I'm still a kid, Holden. I'm not ready for this and I know leaving is probably the worst thing to do. I hate that I'm putting this responsibility on you, but if anyone can raise these kids right, it's you. I just want to see if this is the right place for me or if I belong somewhere else in the world. I left some money under Miss. Piggy. Give Ella and AJ my love.

Red

I couldn't take this. She left. I had to get out of this place, so I packed up the twins and went for a drive. I had no idea where to go, but I couldn't stay here. I had the window down while it rained outside. That was such a good feeling, the rain pummeling down upon me. I suddenly felt myself pull over, and get out of the car. At first I was angry and started to kick the car. Why? Why me? I had nothing wrong. I promised her I wouldn't leave! How dare she turn her back on me! Then, I felt selfish. Why am I so concerned for me? Shouldn't my first thoughts be for them? They're the ones losing a parent. Then, I was sad. She wouldn't be here to help me through this. I started to cry, the rain falling down on me. I realized I had to suck it up and get back to Starts Hollow, so I drove back to the apartment complex. Ella and AJ had fallen asleep on the way back. I left them in their car seats and went into the nursery. I pulled out a baby book and sat down in the rocking chair. It was AJ's. I opened it up and flipped through the book. I couldn't believe that it was almost a year ago. Some how I should've know then this would've happened. I did drag her away from the abortion clinic and adoption agency. Let's start from the beginning shall we?

Red and me walked into Luke's at 6 for our typical Thursday dinner.

" The usual?" Grandpa asks.

" Yea," I tell him.

" Actually can you make my Coke a water?" My eyebrow cocked. I knew something was wrong. Grandpa walked away to start on our orders.

" Are you feeling ok?" I ask. The Charlotte Grace Pruden I know would never refuse a Coke. NEVER! We even made an analogy on this one:

Gilmore Girl: Coffee:Charlotte: Coke.

" I'm fine," she laughed it off.

"Ok," For the rest of dinner she was quiet and didn't eat anything but her French fries. This worried me because Charlotte is a loud opinionated person, who always has something to say.

" Are you sure your ok?"

" Holden, sip your water and stop worrying. You're being a paranoid Walrus and it's not nice."

" Paranoid Walrus? You couldn't find a more interesting animal?"

" Me and Katie were playing the animal game in art. It was on my mind."

" You guys are so weird." I shook my head at her.

" Why thanks!" I smiled. She was so… Red. That was the way to describe her. And it's way more than the red tips in her hair that gives her this nickname. She is everything the color stands for. Bold. Angry at times. Loud. Assertive. Fun. All of it was her and every part I adored… ok maybe not when she was PMS-ing or running out of her house at wild hours of the morning. But I do love her.

" Earth to Holden. Earth ToOOO HOOLDENNNNN. EARTH TO HOLDEN DO YOU COPY!"

"What," she was so weird.

" You were smiling and staring off in space. Were you thinking about me?" she batted her eyelashes.

" As a matter of fact, I was."

" That statement makes no sense whatsoever. As a matter of fact. It's just like that old, old, old Gwen Stefani song. Hollaback Girl. NO SENSE I'm TELLING YOU!"

" Ok that was random. You need to stop talking." And even though I told her this it's not really what I wanted. Some days I would just let her talk, to here what she said. She always had something to say and I love that about her.

" I can't stop talking. It's just not right." I laughed. Grandpa walked over to us and took our plates and he looked at her funny.

" Are you ok?"

" Oh, My God. I'm fine. What is it with everyone?"

" Nothing," Grandpa dismissed it, but I knew something was wrong. It was this gut feeling. " Do you guys want your sundae or what?"

" I'm not that hungry," Red said.

" Yeah just put it on my tab and we'll go." He nodded. I walked over to Red's chair and helped her get her leather jacket on.

" Ouch,"

" What?"

She winced a little, " Nothing, I hit my boob on the table."

" That hurts?"

" Yes it does." Weird. We were sitting in the swings at the Stars Hollow park, when another weird espisode occurred.

" Holden, my god. You really pour on the axe."

" What?"

" Your cologne is making me sick,"

" What are you talking about? I use the showery stuff. It's like soap."

" Well move down a swing."

" Ok now you're being super weird. What's with you?"

" Nothing, it's not my fault that your cologne smells."

" It's soap. You know, it's getting late. I think I'm going to go home now."

" Yeah you're right." I leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. When I got home it was only 9:30, so I watched some T.V. in my basement bedroom/ apartment thingy. At around eleven, Red tapped on my window. I figured John, her wicked step-dad, was giving her a hard time, so I walked out to talk to her.

" Hey. John being an ass?"

" Yes, but that's not why I'm here. I tried to drop it in subtle hints, but that wasn't working and you have to find out sooner or later cause this isn't something that can be easily kept secret and I just want you to know that I love you and can you not flip out?" She said faster than the speed of light.

" What?" I couldn't understand a word that had come out of her mouth.

" You idiot…. I'm pregnant."


A/N: Pretty? I thought so. I know the beginning was kind of confusing, but hopefully it all came together. I hope the title makes sense now, too. R&R! Please, because if I don't get reviews I have to set ultimatums and that's annoying. I hope y'all liked it. REVIEW! PLEASE!
