A/N: Here is my fourth chapter. I don't have much to say at the moment except for: please review!
Chapter 4-Changing?
Ana perspective
Ana still is walking through the jungle.
Ana was really confused. She didn't like the feeling of it either. Usually she was the one in control and lately she hasn't been in control of anything including herself. She also had no idea how to correct it. That really bothered her. She usually had all the answers to everything. Now she didn't. It made her feel unworthy of anything. She had already tried to take control but here it was obvious that Jack was the leader and the people wouldn't listen to anyone else. She really wondered why she ever liked Jack. Sure he was a leader and a doctor and the take-charge type of guy but he didn't have the hardness she had. He was softer.
She then began thinking about Sawyer. What was it that made her feel attracted to him? Was it his ways of always coming up on top? Or was it his hardness. But then Sawyer hadn't really seemed to care about anyone. Ana then turned around and ran back to the hatch where Sawyer laid. Now she didn't care what Jack or Kate thought. Screw Kate.
Claire Perspective.
She couldn't be happier. Charlie was just the guy for her. Sure they had had some rough times, but now Charlie was a wonderful role model for Aaron.
Claire picked up Aaron from the crib and cuddled him in her arms. He wasn't getting bigger which was a little concerning for Claire. It continually haunted her that she did not know for that entire week what happened to her and Aaron when they were with the Others.
She started imagining life when Aaron would be a teenager. Then she wondered if they would still be here. How would life be like then? She wondered if she would be here for the rest of her life. If so, she decided, she would be ok with that. She had made a lot more friends then in the real world, a lot of true friends. Of course then she thought about all the dangers of the island. Raising a child would be dangerous. Considering watching Walt and Michael.
Claire looked down at her son. He looked the same way he did when he was born. She decided she would go to Jack and see what he thought. She went and looked for Charlie.
"Charlie, will you go with me to the main hatch to find Jack?" She asked him.
"Sure why?" Charlie looked up from his guitar, which was amazing it was still in tune. He had a huge smile on his face.
"Well don't you think Aaron should be a little bigger or look at least a little different from when he was born? He will be one years old in a couple of months." Claire said.
His smile was still there but it became softer. "Yeah maybe. We can go talk to Jack though." He put his guitar down and they began walking through the jungle.
A little while later
Claire and Charlie strolled through the jungle together with Aaron in Claire's arms.
"So why are you so concerned about Aaron not changing? I'm sure he has changed we just can't see it." Charlie said.
"I think I would know if he changed. I think that it is a little weird and I mean we have no clue what happened to me when I was with the Others. We know what he did to you. Ethan strung you up for dead. Me, what if they did worse?" Claire said.
"Well yes I can see where you are headed but how would Jack know? Sure he is a doctor but he doesn't know everything. " Charlie said.
"Well yes I know that. Maybe there's some reason for Aaron not to be growing. Maybe it is undernourishment or some other normal reason. He can't live on my milk forever. That is also concerning me. When he gets to be a little older, we don't have baby food. What will I do?" Claire looked really worried.
"Well… I--"
Before Charlie could continue, they heard rustling.
"What's that?" Claire asked, scooting closer to Charlie.
"I don't know" Charlie said, looking around for something to defend himself with when all of a sudden someone came bursting out of the bushes.
"Ana, we thought you were someone else!" Claire said, relieved.
" Hi. I'm going to the hatch. Where are you guys going?" Ana asked. Ana looked flustered.
"We're going to the hatch too. But if you're going to the hatch, you're going in the wrong direction. Are you lost? If you are you can walk with us." Charlie offered.
"I'm not lost." Ana said, stepping back and looking offended. "I was just.." She stammered, struggling to find an excuse. " I was just going the long way there and exploring."
"Well you don't look like you are having fun so why don't you go with us?" Claire asked.
"Yeah I'll go with you guys. I am done exploring for now." Ana said, secretly relieved.
"So why are you guys headed to the hatch?" Ana asked.
"Claire is concerned about her baby." Charlie said.
"Oh yeah? What's wrong?" Ana asked.
"Well nothing is really wrong. He just hasn't changed or grown since he was born." Claire said.
"Oh, so what does that have to do with the hatch?" Ana asked.
"We're going to talk to Jack about it." Claire said.
" Oh… Well you know he doesn't know everything." Ana said.
"Why is everyone saying that today? I know that but he is a doctor so I figured I would talk to him." Claire said, a bit annoyed.
"Why are you going to the hatch Ana? " Charlie asked.
"I'm going to see how Sawyer's doing. He's apparently going to wake up soon." Ana said.
They find the hatch and enter.
A/N: yeah I know. They've been on the island for a year so why doesn't Ana know where she's going? The reason is because she was just so mad and thinking so hard she lost track of everything. Please review!
