"Sawyer, Kate?"

Sawyer nearly jumped when he heard Jack calling for them.

"IN HERE!" He yelled.

"What the...?" Jack trailed off as he looked back at Locke, Claire, Baby Aaron and Hurley.

Jack unlocked the armory door and Claire gasped at a bloody Sawyer and pale, distressed Kate.

"Those MOTHERFUCKERS." Sawyer yelled as he marched out of the armory. His anger rushing a raw adrenaline through his body as he kicked around everything in sight, causing Aaron to cry out.

"Where's Libby?" Hurley asked, clearly worried.

"They took her, they took her and they took my daughter."

Ana Lucia ran in, caught her breath and eyed Sawyer.

"They got you too?" She said, pointing to the gash on her cheek.

Jack helped Kate out of the armory and seemed worried.

"Kate, you al right?"

"Yeah Doc, she's gettin' ready to through a fiesta, what do you think they took our kid!"

"...they, they took Libby?" Hurley stuttered.

"Yeah, ran off with her and the baby some time ago, we been waitin' in there for what seemed like forever."

"They came at us on the beach." Jack stated. "Eko killed one, Ana killed another, one got off with Aaron but Locke caught up to him and got him back. Ana shot one of them before they could even get to Ki-Min."

"They launched a full scale attack. Well, to them two outta four ain't bad." Sawyer growled.

"Why would they take Libby?" Ana asked.

"She's pregnant." Jack spoke up.

"She is!" Locke, Ana & Claire exclaimed.

"How would THEY know though?" Hurley sadly asked.

"They know everythin', well, hope they know I'm comin' in and I sure as hell ain't comin' back empty handed."

"Sawyer, I know you're upset-" Jack began.

"Upset? Upset ain't the word for what I am, Jacko. You don't know what its like to have your baby girl taken right out your arms, I was sleepin' on the job and now she's gone."

"I'll go with you." Ana Lucia spoke up.

"No." Jack countered. "Nobody's goin' anywhere."

"You gonna stop us?" Sawyer growled. "You must want a bullet in your head too!"

"Two people are going to take out a whole group of people? We've tried to go after them before, no success. We need to better plan this out."

"You can plan, Doc. I'm a doer, not a thinker." Sawyer stated, motioning for Ana Lucia to follow him as he started out of the hatch.

Locke stopped Jack from following.

"This is Sawyer's bit of Good, Jack. This is his redemption, that baby. Let him go."

Jack sighed and looked at Kate who was leaning against the wall, saying nothing, her eyes to the floor.

"Kate?" Claire asked.

Jack stood before Kate and tried to catch her gaze, a moment later, she lost consciousness and fas she fell into Jack's arms.

---------------------

Sawyer watched Ana Lucia load her second gun. He smiled at her before saying, "Right On, Rambo." Before he loaded a second gun for himself. They tucked their guns in their pants covering them with their shirts. Normally Ana Lucia would just roam in a tank top, but she didn't want anything to be obvious, so she wore a baggy shirt in order to hide the guns. They never knew who, or what, lurked around them.

They started off into darkness, the uncertainty ahead of them.

-----------------------

"She's in shock." Jack sighed as Claire held a cool rag to Kate's head.

"She just had the baby, her emotions & hormones are already out of sorts, now this happens..." Claire stated, her eyes welling with tears. "I feel...I mean, it could have been Aaron, if John didn't save him...Lily...she...she is brand new, she's not even a day old..." Claire fought back the tears with all her might. "When you look at Sawyer...he's like a new person, like having this baby...like he was born all over again. They didn't deserve this."

"I know." Jack stated. "A part of me hopes that they'll come back safe and sound, but the logic of the situation..." He couldn't even finish his sentence, he looked into Claire's deep, beautiful blue eyes and saw the raw emotion, he knew she felt Kate's pain, a mother should never lose her child, and with those thoughts, Jack thought back on the baby Kate didn't carry to term. This baby really was their chance to start over, Lily was their new beginning.
