Sawyer waited patiently at the foot of his tent. He felt different somehow, like he had accomplished something.

"What are you looking so happy about?"

Sawyer turned around to see Hurley standing there. He looked as though he had lost a bit of weight. But on his face he wore a look of distraught.

"Just the type of mood I'm in and why are you so happy?" he said sarcastically.

Hurley looked at him with a confused look and then suddenly realised something.

"You don't know do you?"

"Know what?"

Hurley prepared himself to say something that sawyer had not a clue about.

"The baby, Aaron, Jack said he's not going to live,"

Sawyer's happy mood changed almost immediately. Sure he hated the crying and all the noise, but apart from that he didn't mind the kid.

"You're joking right?"

"Sawyer, not everyone here jokes like you,"

Hurley began to walk back to his tent. Sawyer got up and began walking towards the hatch. He wanted to see Claire and he guessed she would be there.

As he was halfway there someone walked right into him. As the person looked up, he could see who it was.

Kate.

But there was also someone else. Another baby. But it wasn't Aaron, this baby was different.

"Who popped this one out?"

Kate looked up at him with an annoyed look. She ignored him and headed straight for the hatch. Sawyer followed.

"Are you gonna tell me?"

"Sawyer, you don't need to know,"

"Fine then, but I'll find out eventually Freckles,"

Kate stopped in her tracks.

'Look Sawyer right now I just need a friend, and if you want to know what happened then all you need to do is act like one,"

Sawyer looked taken aback and sat down on the ground.

"Alright then Freckles, I'll be a friend and you be a storyteller,"

Kate sat down and started at the beginning. From when she was sixteen to right there. By the time she was finished it was night.

Sawyer looked sorry for Kate, a look she had never seen before.

"You're gonna tell Jack aren't ya?"

"Yeah,"

"Want me to leave you alone,"

"Na, you can come," she said quietly standing up and headed to the hatch.

The two entered the hatch in silence. Jack sat on the bed next to Claire who was hugging Aaron. Big tears slid down her cheek. Her eyes were swollen and red. Jack had a hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her.

Both Claire and Jack looked up to see Kate, Sawyer and the other baby. Jack looked bewildered and Claire looked confused.

"Kate," gasped Jack.

"Hi Jack, Claire are you alright?"

Kate gently rocked her child with a worried look on her face.

"Ah, yeah I'm fine, um- whose baby is that?"

Claire looked extremely confused .Kate looked stuck for words. Sawyer stepped forward and slowly took the baby out of Kate's arms. She felt tears forming in her eyes.

Then Kate sat down and repeated everything she had told Sawyer.

"So this is your baby?" asked Jack looking a little dumbfounded.

Kate nodded taking the baby from sawyer. He looked somehow unwanting to give the baby up.

"Um- I'm going for a walk,"

Claire stood up with Aaron and left the room. More tears running down her pale face. Kate watched the young girl leave the room obviously distraught.

"So whats going to happen now?" asked Jack.

"What do you mean?"

Kate didn't know what Jack meant by that but she knew it wasn't suppose to be a friendly comment.

'Kate, you don't have any milk or anything, and you will need help with this kid because you don't know how to care for one,"

Kate looked down at her child and smiled at him.

"I'll help,"

Kate turned to see Sawyer standing there looking straight at Jack. This comment surprised her.

Then Jack opened his mouth to say something…
