Chapter 24- Anniversary Surprise

Time passed happily on the island. The Others were never heard from again and the cemetery stopped growing. Claire and Charlie got married by one of the passengers who happened to be a priest, and were currently trying to keep one year old Hope under control. After she healed from her brother's death, Jack told Shannon his true feelings about her, and the two have been sharing a new romance ever since. Everyone was content.

Sayid crept over to Alex, who was still asleep. He lay down beside her, taking in all her perfection. The early morning sun glowed around her like a halo, making her look like some angel of heaven. His angel.

"Alex." He whispered in her ear. "Wake up, Alex."

In response, Sayid got a mumble and a feeble shove.

The bronze skinned man laughed. "Obviously you aren't a morning person!"

"You already know I'm awful in the mornings, why did you wake me up?" Alex tried to sound indignant, but she smiled in spite of herself.

"Because one year ago today, we met each other." Sayid whispered softly, nuzzling her cheek.

"Oh!" Alex gasped. "How did you remember something like that, when there's nothing to keep time?"

He chuckled. "I have my ways."

"Fine. Be mysterious!" Alex giggled, snuggling into his warm embrace.

"Do you remember the how we met?" Sayid murmured.

Alex sighed dreamily. "Of course. You, Sawyer, Jack and Kate were thundering through the jungle-"

"We weren't making that much noise!" Sayid protested.

"Yes, you were! I heard you and hid, unintentionally cutting off my escape route. A drop of water rolled off my arm and fell on you, and you saw me."

Sayid gazed at her lovingly, drinking in her face. "I thank God everyday for that drop of water. Without it, I wouldn't have met you."

Alex beamed at him. "We didn't meet each other, we found each other."

Sayid smiled back. "When I found you, Alex, I found love."

Alex kissed him lightly on the nose. "I love you, Sayid."

"And I love you, angel."

Alex smiled weakly. Her eyes were full of an emotion he couldn't read.

"Sayid? I have to tell you something. About me. About us."

She caught his hand and placed in gently on her stomach.

The man's eyes widened in wonder.

"Alex? Are you-"

"Yes. I'm pregnant."

AN: PREGNANT? Alex is pregnant? When did THAT happen? Notice I skipped over to a year later, to avoid having to raise the rating of my fanfic lol!

I know I could have ended it when he said "And I love you, angel." but I just couldn't do it. My writer friends at school urged me to just end it, but I can't! I can't just end my fanfic! I have to feel it come to a close, you know what I mean?

Please R&R, it makes me smile!
