"How did you...?" He trailed off, as he took the baby girl from Ana's arms.

"Leave me." She stated. "Take her back first."

She was having trouble breathing and from what Sawyer could tell, she had lost far too much blood.

"I can't leave you here." Sawyer stated.

"GO, SAWYER." Ana Lucia ordered.

Sawyer stared at her back again, trying to locate where she was hurt. It looked like the blood was coming from her left shoulder blade.

"I'll be okay."

"Look, how the hell did you go into their territory and come out with my baby?"

She glared at Sawyer, raising her arm and pointing off into the distance. "Go." She growled. "Go before they find you."

Sawyer looked down at the baby in his arms, the blanket she was wrapped in was soaked with blood, Ana Lucia's blood, or was it? Either way he held her tiny body close to his chest, his beating heart and her steady paced walking calming the baby girl. He nervously kept checking over his shoulders, waiting for the moment when they would surround him and steal her back.

He wanted to sigh in relief when he realized he was almost there, he wanted to cry out in sheer happiness when he made his way into the Hatch.

Claire jumped up from the floor, where she was sitting by Libby's side.

Jack couldn't believe his eyes when Sawyer walked in with Lily in his arms, but he didn't even stop, he just marched right into the bunks and to Kate, who was sitting with her head in her hands. She slowly lifted her head, crying out when she saw Sawyer standing before her.

She couldn't help but sob when he placed Lily in her arms.

"How?" Jack asked from the doorway.

"Ana Lucia." Sawyer stated.

"Where is she?"

"She told me to leave her and bring Lily back. She's hurt pretty bad."

"How did she..?" Jack trailed off, "Well, where exactly is she?"

"About 30 feet in from the line." Sawyer said, "She's still in their territory."

"I'm going to get her." Jack said as he turned.

Funny, he won't help me get my kid, but he'll get Ana Lucia. Sawyer thought as he shook his head.

Locke offered to go with him, and Jack reluctantly accepted. They were far too lucky getting Libby & Lily back so that meant going one by one into the jungle now would be deadly.

"Give me your guns." Jack demanded as he came back to Sawyer.

"You gonna leave us unarmed in this place?"

"They won't come back."

"Yeah, and you know that for sure?"

Jack sighed, and Sawyer rolled his eyes, pulling one gun from his pants.

"I'm not takin' anymore chances, Doc."

Jack was lucky Sawyer gave him anything at all.

"You get to Ana, she has two guns."

"And if we don't?"

"Ain't my concern what happens to you."

Jack just shook his head as he and Locke left.

"I'll never break a promise to you." Sawyer said as he kneeled down in front of Kate, touching her cheek gently. "I'm do everything I can to get us off this rock, get the hell outta this place, I'm gonna do things right for once."

"I don't want to leave." Kate spoke up, her cheeks wet from crying. "I don't want to loose this..." She said looking at Sawyer and then down at Lily.

"You ain't gonna loose us."

"Yes, I am...If I go back...I can't run, I can't run with a baby, Sawyer."

He looked down at his knees, his jeans torn and his left knee bleeding. He didn't even remember getting hurt.

"James." He stated. "Call me James."

Kate had only ever called him James when he was being scolded or the conversation was of the dead serious nature, and it was the same with the other castaways.

"Sawyer...Sawyer...that's who I was. James, that's who I am."

Kate weakly smiled at him. She was proud of him, and scolded herself for ever doubting him. She was the only person he fully trusted in the world, the only person who truly knew who he was. She accepted his flaws, she embraced him, because deep down she knew he truly loved her for who she was as well.

He reached forward and stroked Lily's head as Kate took the dirty blanket off of her, surveying her body. She fussed as cool air hit her bare skin. Kate ran her fingertips over the baby girls soft skin and smiled as Lily stopped fussing and looked up at her, James stood up and sat himself next to Kate, smiling down at the baby girl. He took her little foot into his hand, and nearly jumped up with shock.

"They branded her!" He exclaimed, as he showed the bottom of her foot to Kate.

There was a fresh burn mark in the shape of a plus on the baby girl's foot.

Kate sighed, "How is that justified?"

"Those bastards are lucky I didn't make it to their camp." James growled.

Kate fought back her tears, quietly saying, "It could be worse." She didn't want to dwell on it, she couldn't she was afraid that if she cried out or yelled, their luck would cease to exist and she would be gone again.

James nodded, she was alive, and aside from the mark on her foot, she was okay.

He stared at Kate in admiration. She was pale, exhausted cheeks swollen and in physical pain, but she was still so strong, still so gorgeous to him.

"You need to sleep." He softly said, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.

She looked at him, her eyes filled with raw emotion. "So do you."

He shook his head, "I'm fine."

Lily started to wail and Kate smiled, she was so happy to hear her cry, know that she was really there.

Kate sleepily nursed the little girl then turned to her side, Lily curled up against her stomach. The morning air was warm, so she laid uncovered, Lily in just a tiny diaper Claire had made for them.

Sawyer smiled as he watched them curled up together, he was exhausted himself but his fears of a full scale retaliation from the others wouldn't allow him to sleep. Instead he made his way to the kitchen, looking for some coffee or tea, anything to perk him up.

Hurley was sitting on the floor below Libby on the couch, running his fingers through her hair.

Hurley watched Sawyer for a moment before finally asking, "Everything's going to be alright, yeah Dude?" He looked back it Libby and then back at James.

"Yeah, everything's going to be fine." James assured.
