Jack and Kate share a look between themselves and then look at Charlie.
A very startled Charlie – What me? Why one earth would she want me there?
Kate – Oh I don't know Charlie, maybe because you two have been inseparable for weeks now.
Charlie – No we …….
Charlie there's no getting out of it said Jack.
There's nothing going on you too, I'm just looking out for her, being her friend and that's it! Argued Charlie.
Kate – Ok Charlie, we believe you.
Charlie goes back to looking at Claire sleeping peacefully, while Kate turns to Jack and whispers…… we'll just have to wait and see
Jack – Come on Charlie, lets get her back to the caves.
Charlie moves closer to Claire, so that he and Jack can carry her, when she wakes up startled.
Claire – What? …. Who?
Charlie – Its ok Claire, its me and Jack. Charlie looks concerned.
Oh thank god, I was …..
Jack – Claire are you ok?
Claire – Im fine Jack, I must have been dreaming. The movement just startled me, that's all.
Jack – Ok well just take it easy, we don't want you going into early labour.
Ok I will insisted Claire.
Come on missy, lets get you back o the caves, you need your rest requested Charlie.
Claire – I'm fine really. Charlie, Kate and Jack look at her concerned. Charlie is almost pleading with her to go back to the caves, just by looking at her. Ok im going, happy?
Charlie – Perfectly (gives her that Charlie smile we all love)
Jack looks to Kate as if to say, you go with Claire, I need to talk to Charlie.
Come on Claire, I'll come with you, these two can following a minute added Kate.
Claire – Sure why not? I'd love the company. Night guys.
Jack/Charlie – Night Claire, Night Kate.
Kate – Night (the girls leave).
Jack what was all that about? Asks Charlie
Charlie, keep an eye on her wont you? I know she gets on with Kate and I, but its you she trusts the most. If she feels unwell come and get me.
Charlie – I will, don't worry.
I know you will, that's why I asked replied Jack.
Thanks Jack, Charlie stated.
Jack – What for?
Charlie – Everything.
Jack – My pleasure. Now come on lets go and get some sleep.
Charlie – Yeah sure.
Charlie and Jack walk back to the caves and find Claire and Kate already asleep, so they head towards their own make-shift beds and settle for the night, with Charlie thinking about what both Jack and Kate have said.
