Domaholic: Will do!

Hekate-trivia: I know! Pretty soon he'll be able to say turnip head! lol. But there's gonna be a bunch of other cute little newborns eventually, and Aaron is still adorable no matter how old he gets. Glad you liked the spice girls part, I thought it fit Shannon well. And yes, they will all be good parents in their own special ways.

Baby Boom
Into The Storm

It was the next morning. Claire trudged through the sand in her light blue chuck tailors that were laced up tight around her ankles to keep sand from getting in. Usually she would wear sandals or no shoes at all, but it was a chilly day and it was going to be raining a lot, and she wanted to be prepared. She carried Aaron in both arms, kicking and squirming and saying "Noon, noon!"

"Would you hold still? Its not yet noon. Its only morning!" Claire explained, sighed in distress. Her back hurt, her feet were swelling inside her clunky chuck tailors and Aaron was getting heavier every day. The kicking and squirming only made it harder to hold onto him.

"Having some trouble there, Claire?" Rose questioned, folding her cloths in front of her tent. "A bit" Claire replied sarcastically, shifting Aaron in her arms once again.

"He's getting bigger" She noted with a smile. "Your telling me" Claire agreed, rolling her eyes as she carefully lowered herself down to the sand beside Rose.

"Where's Charlie? Shouldn't he be helping you what with your condition and all?" Rose asked, curiously. "He's securing the tent what ever that means" Claire explained in amusement, as Aaron crawled around in her lap saying "Noon, Noon, Noon!"

Rose laughed and shook her head. "Poor boy tries so hard" She muttered in amusement. "Well, trying a good thing. According to the other girls he's the only one of our men who dose anything. But that may just be because they're all in a pregnant state of mind" Claire explained, completely numb to Aaron's wiggling and jabbering and tugging at her cloths and her hair.

"Well, I know one think, your crazy for letting that one watch your son" Rose noted, glancing over at Shannon as she walked along the beach in a bikini and a towel.

"Oh, Shannon wasn't watching him last night, Kate was" Claire assured simply. "No, no. Shannon was defiantly watching him. She sang to him and everything" Rose explained.

Claire thought for a moment. "Noon!" She exclaimed, realizing what Aaron had been trying to say all day. "Excuse me?" Rose questioned, staring at Claire as is she were insane.

"I've got to go" Claire explained, pushing herself to her feet and lifting Aaron with her. Rose shook her head and went back to folding close. "Poor girls losing it" She muttered to herself.

Later...

"KATE!" Claire called, marching through the caves with Aaron in both arms. "Hey Claire. Looking for Kate?" Jack questioned curiously, making his way over to her. "Yeah. I wanted to ask her why the hell she left Aaron with Shannon last night!" Claire exclaimed, bluntly.

"Oh..." Jack replied, not knowing what else to say. It was shocking how intimidated an Australian blonde who was five foot tall and carrying a baby could be when pregnant and angry. Luckily, Charlie came to his rescue.

"Claire, what are you doing out here? Its going to rain soon" Charlie reminded, worriedly. "They let Shannon watch Aaron last night!" Claire explained, shooting Jack an accusing look.

"What!" Charlie questioned, turning to Jack with the same outraged look Claire had. "Not me. It was Kate's idea" Jack muttered in self defense.

'It was not!" Kate exclaimed from inside their cave. Claire started walking towards the door, ready to pound Kate into the dirt but Charlie held her back.

"Claire, wait. Your holding a baby" He reminded in a calming tone, holding Claire by the shoulders. "But, she-" Claire tried to defend herself, but Charlie placed a finger over her lip to hush her.

"Lets just get you and turnip head back to the beach before it rains and he catch's a cold. You can kill Kate later" He suggested, optimacy. Claire gave in with a nod.

Charlie put his arm around her and started walking. He turned his head back over his shoulder to see Kate hiding in the opening over her cave and mouthed the word "run."

Kate obayed quickly.

Later...

"Its c-c-c-old" Shannon murmured, hugging herself on her and Sayid's bed as he hung a long piece of tarp over the doorway to keep some of the wind and rain from flying in.

"Why don't you put some cloths on, then?" Sayid questioned in slight aggravation. "To cold to move" Shannon answered simply, shaking her head and her stringy wet hair, sending beads of water every where.

Sayid smiled at her over his shoulder and walked to the bed. "Come here" He instructed, holding out his arms. Shannon scooted over a few inches and laid herself in them, her head resting on his chest, hearing his hear beat. Sayid took the blanket on their bed and wrapped it around her, rubbing his hands up and down her arms to warm her.

"Aren't you cold?" Shannon questioned, struggling to look up at him through her stingy hair. "No. I'm fine" He assured with a smile, continuing to hug her warningly.

"Your c-c-crazy" She confirmed, snuggling against his chest. "Probably" He agreed with am amused grin, brushing her hair out her face.

"Your hands are warm" She murmured softly, slipping her hands out from under the blanket to hold his to her cheek. "Yours are freezing" He noted, playfully. "Sorry" Shannon muttered apologetically, quickly shoving them back under the covers. "Its all right" He assured, idly strokingher cheek with his thumb.

For a moment it was silent, and he thought Shannon had fallen asleep. Then the wind howled loudly outside, knocking the tarp over the opening of the cave into the air and onto the floor with one quick gust. T

he wind and rain came flying in and lighting crack out side. Shannon screamed and put her head under the blankets like a five year old, and Sayid couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Stop laughing at me and go fix it" Shannon demanded, hitting his chest with a tiny, white fist. Sayid slid out form under her and got up to fix the tarp. Shannon curled up into a little ball under the covers, only her eyes showing asshe impatiently watched him gather up the tarp and try again.

Meanwhile...

Sun sat on top of the big plain wheel that served as a chair outside their tent, but had now been pulled inside because of the rain.

She sat with her legs pulled up to her chest, eating a banana as she watched Jin drag the fire wood inside, cursing in Korean. "That's the last of it" He noted with a sigh of relief, dusting the ashes off his hands.

He looked over at Sun, with her bare legs pulled up to her chest and her bare feet resting on the edge of the tire, toes wiggling carelessly.

"What is wrong with you, women? Put some cloths on!" Jin insisted, gesturing angrily. Sun furrowed her eye brows. "Have you been learning words from Sawyer again?" Sun questioned, giving him a warning look.

"No, but you need to cover yourself or you'll freeze to death" Jin explained, grabbing a blanket and throwing it over her. "I'm fine, really" She tried to assure. Jin ignored her, sitting on the tire behind her and warping the blanket around her until nothing but her head and her one free hand, holding the bright yellow, banana showed.

"There? Better?" He questioned, leaning over her shoulder. "Yes," She replied sarcastically, and took a bite of the banana. Jin kissed her cheek, and she couldn't help but smile.

Meanwhile...

The walls of Charlie and Claire's tent shook violently as Claire sat on the bed wearing two long sleeve sweaters, a heavy pair of sweet pants, socks, and Charlie's hoodie, rocking a bundle of screaming Aaron in her lap.

Charlie stood in the middle of the tent, his white t-shirt soaked and clinging to his skin. He had a big square of duct tape on one hand, and a fist full of the roof to their tent in the other, trying to patch the whole that the heavy falling rain had made. After a few tries, he managed to get the tape to stick.

"See? Told you I'd fix it" He gloated triumphantly, flashing Claire a grin. Claire smiled as best she could, but the trembling in her lower lip made it hard. Charlie frowned at the sight of her shivering, all stringy haired and purple-liped and Aaron screaming in her arms.

"Lie down" He instructed, making his way over to the bed.Claire gave him a confused look, but did what he asked, and shifted into a laying position. Charlie sat at the end of the bed and picked the suitcase full of cloths off the floor.

"Charlie, what are you doing?" Claire questioned in confusion, struggling to sit up as she watch him empty the suitcase onto their bed.

"Shh, trust me" He replied, giving her a reassuring smile. Claire didn't feel reassured, but she did trust him. She sat back proped up against the pillows, watching as he lifted another bag of cloths and emptied it onto the bed. In minutes their entire wardrobe was spread across the mattress, warming the surface beneath it.

Charlie climbed over Claire's legs and climbed under the blankets and the pile of cloths and pulled her to his chest, warping his arms around her tight.

"Better?" he questioned, watching some of the color return to her lips and her cheeks. Claire nodded, feeling his body heat wave onto her skin, giving her a strange tingly feeling.

Charlie smiled and kissed her cheek, then the top of Aaron's head. Claire shifted, rolling onto her side so that Aaron laid between them, warm from the heat of their bodies and now ready to sleep.

"I love you" Charlie whispered in a low, rumbling voice. "I love you too" Claire replied with a smile, ignoring the urge to jump on him. After all, it was to cold and Aaron was between them, and she didn't want to take any chance if waking him for fear that he'd start screaming again.

Meanwhile...

"You sure this is a good idea, freckles?" Sawyer questioned, glancing at her over his shoulder. "Yep" Kate answered with a smile, helping him drag the blow-up mattress that had served as her and Jack's bed across the slippery sand, Jack included.

"He's gonna kill us when he wakes up you know" Sawyer assured, warningly. "Yep" Kate nodded with a smile. With that, they dragged the mattress into the water and let the waves carrying it away.

"What if the current gets hold of it and he drowns?" Sawyer questioned worriedly, watching the dark blue mattress boob with the waves. "It won't. Besides, why are you so worried about Jack? If he dies, you get me all to yourself" Kate reminded, folding her arms under her chest and giving him a playfully smile.

Sawyer shot her a confused look, wondering why she would joke about that after her and Jack had been a couple for so long. He was about to ask, but was distracted when Jack began to stir.

Jack felt around the bed beside him. Kate was gone. His eyes opened, slowly becoming aware of the fact that his bed was bobbing up and down like a wave. He looked around, feeling the rain smack at his face and seeing nothing but dark blue.

He sat up, panicked and confused, and squinted out into the near distance where he could see Sawyer and Kate laughing and waving at him from the shore and realized what was going on.

"Kate!" Jack called, trying to keep him self steady on the heavily rocking bed. "Your gonna pay for this!" he insisted, angrily, trying to stand up. He lost his balance and was knocked off the mattress and into the water.

Jacklanded in a kneeling position,and tried to push himself up. But before he could, a wave smacked over his head, bringing the mattress with it, and temporarily covering him.

Kate and Sawyer watched as he reappeared, spitting the salty water our of his mouth and struggling to stand up. He stormed out of the water with a look of determination on his face.

At that moment, Kate and Sawyer both stopped laughing and started running. Jack chased after them. He tackled Kate just as she had reached the nearest tent, knocking down a part of the wall as she fell.

"What the bloody hell is going on?" Charlie questioned, sitting up in his bed. Kate screamed loudly as she tried to squirm out of Jacks arms, but it was no use. He pulled her over his shoulder and carried her out to the water before dropping her into the icy waves and walking back to the beach.

Sawyer and Jack both laughed histerically as they watched her kick through the water until she found her way back to the surface. After a while, Charlie and Claire began to laugh too.

Sawyer was so busy laughing he hadn't realized Kate was back on land until she tackled him at the waist, knocking him to the ground. Before he knew what was going on, her and Jack grabbed hold of his feet and dragging him into the water just in time for a wave to crash over him.

"All right, now I'm mad!" Sawyer exclaimed angrily, grabbing hold of Kate's leg andtugging her into the water with him. "

Hey!" She tried to protest, but another wave came over, fillingher mouth with water and momentarily silencing her. Even she could help but laugh at that. "Here-" Jack offered, holding out his hand to help her up. Instead, Kate pulled him in.

"My god...they've all gone mad" Charlieconcluded from him and Claire's bed, watching the three wrestle around in the water and the rain like lunatics. "Yep" Claire nodded in agreement. "Hold this" She added quickly, shoving the bundle of Aaron into his arms and Jumping out of bed.

"Claire, wait!" Charlie called after her, but it was to let. Claire ran towards the water, pulling off his hoodie, then his sweat shirt, then her sweat shirt, then her sweat pants, until she was in nothing but her underware, and dove into the waves.

Jin and Sun emerged from the tent, wondering what all the noise was about, seeingthe group splashing around in the water like lunatics, laughing their heads off.The two exchanged glances, shrugged, and jumped in as well.

"What the hell is going on, dude?" Hurly questioned, walking out of his tent over to where Charlie sat on the bed.

"I have no bloody idea" He confirmed simply. For a moment, him and Hurly just sat there watching everyone splash around in the ocean.

"Hold this" Charlie insisted, handing the bundle of Aaron to Hurly and hopping out of bed. "Dude! You can't swim!" Hurly reminded, calling after him. "I don't care!" Charlie exclaimed, pulling off his shirt as he ran towards the water, tripping until he reached the waves.

Hurly blinked in confusion. "Excuse me" Sayid spoke up, walking out of the tees. "Why is everyone in the water?" He questioned curiously, stepping onto the sand.

"Are they crazy?" Shannon added, in disbelief. "Yep. That's probably it" Hurly confirmed with a nod. The three stared out at the crowd of loons playing in the ocean.

Sayid turned his head, giving Shannon a conspicuous grin. "No. Fucking. Way." Shannon confirmed, giving him a warning leer and backing away. Too late. Sayid grabbed Shannon and threw her over his shoulder before running for the waves, once again leaving Hurly alone to hold Aaron, who was laughing his little head off and reaching out towards the water, wanting to play with everyone else.

"Think of it this way, little dude. When all of the crazies get hypothermia and die, me and you can have all the food to our selves" Hurly noted optimistically. Aaron giggled in amussement and continued his attempt to wiggle out of his blankets.

The End

Aw, good times. I was out playing in the rain the other day, witch inspired this. Only, I was in a pool. Not as fun as the ocean, but probably just as cold. Now me and all my friends are sick. But it was worth it. And it made for a cute story. Well, hope you all liked it. TTFN!
