This is my last installment. I hope you like it.
"So, this is a D-chord?" Claire asked happily, holding her hands in an awkward position on Charlie's guitar. They were sitting in one of the caves, and Charlie was staring at Claire, a bemused look on his face.
He laughed and walked over her. Standing behind her, he placed her hands in the right position, "This is a D-chord…" His head was right next to hers, as she played the discordant note on the guitar.
She blushed, embarrassed, "That wasn't that good, was it?"
Charlie picked up the hand with his tape on it, and kissed it; "That was beautiful."
Aaron cried from his crib near the side of the cave, and Claire handed Charlie the guitar, joking, "At least he's honest."
Charlie smiled and walked next to Aaron's crib, "I'll play…you can sing."
Claire nodded and Charlie began to strum on the guitar. Claire put her hand on the edge of Aaron's crib and began singing, "Catch a falling star, and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away. Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day. Save it for a rainy day, save it for a rainy day, rainy day." And so they stood their; Charlie, Claire, and Aaron: The Perfect Family.
Epilogue:
Four year old Aaron Littleton sat under his "uncle" Jack's care as he waited for his mother to emerge from the tent they had set up to change in. Ahead of him, he soon-to-be father stood nervously, a flower tucked into the lapel of his brand new suit. It had only been three days since they got off the island, but after waiting all those years, Charlie and his mother didn't want to wait another second.
He watched in awe as his mother came out of the tent. Though she was carrying his 7 month old little sister Katherine in her stomach, she still looked beautiful in her long white dress. As she walked up the isle, several men started singing something softly from the side of the isle. She walked up it slowly as everyone he had come to know on the island watched happily.
She reached the head of the hall and the service proceeded. When it came time for the vows, Aaron listened intently. His mother went first, "Charlie, I've spent four years on an island, and I don't know how I would've survived without you. I don't remember life without you, and I thank God everyday for bringing us together. No matter where you go, I will follow you. To the end of time, I will always love you Charlie, and nothing could ever change that."
Aaron now turned his attention to Charlie, who had tears brimming in his eyes, "Claire, I remember the first time I met you. You were radiant. From that moment I have loved you more than anything in this world. I would do anything for you. I want you to know that I will always take care of you. No matter what happens to us, no matter how hard it gets; I will always be there for you. I love you." As his parents shared their first kiss as a married couple, Aaron smiled. No one could ask for anything more than this. As Charlie and Claire walked down the isle, he joined them, and they walked away to start their new life, as a family.
