Ponyboysgirl1: Glad you liked the last chapter! Obviously if there's an island with little means of birth control, sooner or later, someone will get present. I haven't decided who that someone may be, or when it might happen. But its defiantly a possibility. Oh, and if the story your telling me about is no fanficton dot com, then there's a possibility I've read it, witch would make since.

Hekate-triva: Hey. I really liked the scenes with Charlie and Aaron on the show. I think he makes an adorable father, witch is why I put that in. I have an obsession with little kids, not in a pedophile way, of course. I just really like kids. Being an only child, I'm not around them often. So, I write about them as often as I can. There's a cute one in this Chapter too. And of course Claire didn't stay mad. Who could stay mad at Charlie? Besides, no one cares what Sawyer thinks. Lol. Oh, and I love Shannon. She's very spontaneous. And as you mentioned, very funny. You'll be seeing a lot of her in the next few chapters.

Power Of Possession

"Hey, Jack" Shannon greeted, walking up with a friendly smile. "Hi" He replied, looking at her in mild confusion. "Um...I have cramps. Mind if I look for some Midol?" She questioned casually, keeping up her friendly out look all the while. For a moment, Jack just stared. "Uh...sure. Go ahead" He replied, awkwardly.

"Thanks" She smiled appreciatively and headed into the cave where all the medicine was kept. Once inside, Shannon began a rapid search through all the bags. Digging through bottles of pills and all kinds of medical supplies. Among the millions of bottles, Claire could find no type of birth control pills what so ever.

"Damn it" She muttered under her breath, sitting down on a rock in frustration. "What's wrong?" Jack questioned from the door way. Shannon looked up in surprise. She hadn't realized he'd been watching her. "Oh...uh...I can't find any" She explained, thinking off the top of her head. Trying to play it cool. Jack looked at her in confusion as he walked over to the table where the bags of medicine laid, reached into the first one and pulled a bottle off top.

"Its right here" He explained, reading the label for about a millisecond. "Oh!" Shannon hopped up, trying to act surprised. "Must have missed it. Blonde, you know" She explained with a shrug, laughing nervously as she took the bottle from him. "Right" He nodded, eyeing her curiously. "Well, Thanks" She replied with a shrug, before turning and walking out of the room.

Jack stared at her in confusion for a moment, wondering why she was acting so strange. He thought it might be a good idea to ask her, but, with the blonde jokes at her own expense and the off topic giggling, perhaps it was better that he just let it go.

At the beach...

After the small flood that had hit the beach, a few of the castaways went to help Sawyer rebuild his tent. Usualy, Charlie would not be one to tag along, but because Sawyer owned him money and he wanted to rub it in his face, he decided to lend a hand.

"So, when do I get my money?" Charlie questioned, glancing at Sawyer over the shoulder. "What the hell are you talking about, boy?" Sawyer questioned in reply, shooting him a confused look. "The bet, remember? I won" Charlie reminded teasingly. "You didn't win, you just got to her first" Sawyer corrected skeptically.

"But, I still one" Charlie confirmed triumphantly. "Yeah, well...If you were a real man, you'd give me a second chance" Sawyer noted, sarcastically. "All right, fine" Charlie replied with a shrug. Sawyer shot him another look. "You serious?" he questioned, raising an eye brow. "Sure" Charlie answered, shrugging again.

"All right then, your on" Sawyer agreed, putting out his hand. Charlie shook it to seal the deal, feeling Sawyer squeeze as tight as he could. "ow" Charlie muttered, quickly pulling his hand away. Sawyer grind triumphantly as he watched Charlie shake his hand to get rid of the pain, looking up at him in annoyance. "I still won" He reminded, teasingly, watching Sawyer's grin drop once again. For a while, it was silent.

"Sawyer?"

Sawyer and Charlie both turned to see Sayid Standing behind him. "Yeah?" Sawyer questioned, turning back around as if he didn't care. "I need to ask you a favor" Sayid explained, sounding a little nervous. Sawyer turned to him, intrigued. "Go on" He instructed, crossing his arms.

"Well, me and Shannon have been...looking, for something. And we believe, you may have it" Sayid explained, swallowing a nervous gulp. "And what might that be?" Sawyer questioned smugly, enjoying his power of possession. "Well,...we'er looking for...protection" Sayid finally managed to choke out, receiving a confused glance from both Charlie and Sawyer.

"Like...guns?" Sawyer questioned, eyeing him in confusion. Sayid sighed in frustration. "Did you get it yet?" Shannon questioned, appearing beside him out of no where. "Not yet" He replied, trying not to sound agitated. "Well, hurry up" She instead playfully. Sayid sighed again. "Fine, I'll do it" Shannon explained, stepping forward.

"We need a condom" Shannon explained bluntly. Sayid flinched visibly behind her. "A what, now?" Sawyer questioned with a laugh, his redneck side shinning through. "A condom. You know what a condom is, right?" Shannon questioned teasingly, crossing her arms over her chest. "I know what it is, blonde. I just don't see why you need one" he corrected smartly.

"Because we want to have sex. Duh" Shannon explained bluntly. Sayid flinched again. Charlie laughed. Sayid shoot him a look. He went silent again. "Let me rephrase. I don't see why I should give you one" Sawyer explained, confidently. "Because...your a nice person?" Shannon offered in an innocent tone. All three men burst out laughing. Shannon rolled her eyes.

"Well, what do you want? Money?" Shannon questioned, growing aggravated. Sawyer laughed. "Honey, everyone knows you lost all your money betting on those two with freckles!" Sawyer exclaimed, pointing a finger at Charlie as an example for 'those two'. "Well, then, what do you want?" She questioned casually, growing more and more aggravated.

"That depends, blonde. What are you willing to give?" Sawyer questioned, eyeing her suggestively. "Hey!" Sayid stepped up immediately, shooting Sawyer a threatening look. "Calm down, I ain't serious" Sawyer assured, holding his hands up as if surendering. "unless-" He gave Shannon another smug grin, and Sayid lunged forward.

"Ok, ok. Seriously though, money would be fine" Sawyer explained with a grin. Shannon and Sayid exchanged a glance. "Money has no purpose hear. Why do you want it?" Sayid questioned, hopping to change his mind. "Because, I've been doing some betting of my own with this little VH1 reject, and I need to pay him back" Sawyer explained, pointing over at Charlie once again.

"That's right" Charlie confirmed, shooting Sawyer a stern look. "So, do you have the money or not?" Sawyer questioned. Sayid looked at Shannon. "I'll see what I can do" she explained with a shrug. "Great" Sawyer nodded, a smirk across his face. Shannon rolled her eyes at him once more before walking off.

"Nice doing business with you!" Sawyer called after her sarcastically. Shannon flipped him off in reply. "Well...that's professional

Few minutes later...

"I want my money back" Shannon confirmed bluntly, stopping in front of Kate. "Excuse me?" Kate questioned, looking up at her in surprise. "The money that I bet you. I need it back" Shannon explained. "Why?" Kate questioned curiously. Shannon frowned. "Um...because" She replied, hopping to avoid the subject. "Because why?" Kate insisted. No such luck.

"Because, I need something from Sawyer, and he's being a jerk-off and making me pay." Shannon answered, once again hopping to dodge actually answering the question. "What do you need from Sawyer?" Kate asked curiously, raising an eye brow at Shannon. Shannon sighed. There was no way out of it. "A condom" She explained with an awkward Shrug. Kate burst out into laughter.

"Your buying condoms from Sawyer?" She questioned, looking at Shannon in amusement. "He's the only one who has them" She replied in self defense. "Well, I'm sorry, Shan. But I won that money fair and square" Kate confirmed. "But-" Shannon tried to plea. "Nope. If you want it back, your going to have to earn it" Kate explained firmly. Shannon sighed.

"Earn it how?" She questioned in annoyance. "Well, lets see, there's some laundry I need to do, then I'm supposed to watch Aaron for an hour, then I need to go get some fruit from Sun, cause my stash is running low, oh! And I'm supposed to help her with the garden today" Kate explained hinting, a huge smile across her face.

"Fine" Shannon sighed, giving in. "All right, I'll show you to the laundry" Kate explained with a smile, and lead the way.

Later...

"So, did you get your money?" Claire questioned, Looking up at Charlie as he walked over. "Not yet, but...he's working on it" Charlie explained, confidently. "Oh? What happened to 'If he doesn't give it to me, I'll beat it out of him?" Claire questioned teasingly. "I chose to use my words" Charlie explained, sarcastically.

"That's my boy" Claire replied, smiling and fluffing his hair. "Wow, that's getting long" She noted, running her fingers through his messy strands playfully. "Yeah, I've been meaning to have you cut it" He explained. "Why didn't you ask earlier?" She questioned, curiously. An almost wicked smile crossed Charlie's face. "I got side tracked"

The two laughed. "Aw, well here. You take Aaron, I'll go get the scissors"Claire explained, sifting Aaron into Charlie's lap. Aaron looked up at Charlie with big blue eyes and a wondrous little smile. Always curious. "You look just like your mum, you know that?" Charlie explained, running his hand over Aaron's soft little baby hair.

Aaron looked up in confusion for a moment, not understanding a word Charlie was saying. After a moment, he reached up to grab at Charlie's face with a giggle. "What? It was a compliment!" Charlie exclaimed playfully as Aaron's little palm landed on the side of his cheek in a pathetic little smack. Aaron giggled wildly and tried to smack him again.

"How do you do that?" Shannon questioned, holding a huge bag of laundry as she stopped to look at the two. "Do what?" Charlie questioned, turning his head to look at her. "That!" She exclaimed, waving her hands at Aaron, who continued to giggle as he pulled up on Charlie's shoulder in an attempt to stand.

"What? Get abused by a baby?" Charlie questioned, finding it hard to focus with Aaron hitting him playfully. "No. Making him act all happy. The whole time I held him he wouldn't even stop crying" Shannon explained. "Wait? You held him?" Charlie questioned, acting surprised. "Yeah.." Shannon replied, shooting him a look in confusion.

"You didn't drop him did you?" Charlie questioned, teasingly. "No. But, still. Why dose he like you so much? I'm ten times funnier than you" Shannon replied. "Excuse me?" Charlie questioned, raising an eye brow. "What? I'm funnier than you" Shannon confirmed teasingly. "You are not!" Charlie replied, defensively.

Shannon smiled. "Am too"

"Are not!"

"Oh god" Claire sighed, stopping before the two as they argued like four year olds. Both Charlie and Shannon stopped instantly. "I swear, just because there's a baby present doesn't mean you two have to act like one, too" Claire scolded, taking a seat behind Charlie. "Yeah, Shan. Stop acting like a baby!" Charlie told her accusingly. Claire smacked the back of his head playfully.

"Well, I've got a tun of Kate's laundry to do. See you kids later" Shannon explained, and walked off with her bag. As she was moveing to the water, Sayid ran up beside her. "Did you get it?" He questioned, flocking at the bag of cloths in confusion. "No, Kate had me doing chores so I can get the money back. God, I've never worked so hard to get laid in my life" Shannon explained, sarcastically.

Sayid smiled. "Well, I promise. It will be worth it" He explained, leaning close to her ear before giving her a kiss on the cheek. Shannon blushed as he walked away, putting her hand over her cheek where his lips had been. A Huge smile across her face. "Get to work!" Kate yelled from her tent. Shannon rolled her eyes, sighed, and kept on moving.
