Chapter 9: Losing trust

"Shannon? Are you awake?" Shannon opened her eyes and saw Sayid staring at her.

"Oh my god! Sayid you're okay, I'm not dead. Where's Claire?" Shannon began rambling on and on about what she had dreamed.

"Shh, you're okay. Nothing happened, you just hit you're head. Shannon you were dreaming. Everyone's okay." Sayid calmed her.

"You mean even Alex?" Shannon asked.

"How do you know about her?" Sayid asked.

"I dreamed they killed her and I after I had my baby, they killed me too, then you say everything's fine."Shannon was shivering.

"You're pregnant!" Sayid was shocked.

"Oops," Shannon said.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Sayid questioned.

"I didn't believe Claire when she told me, but I do now. I dreamed I had a baby girl," Shannon said. She felt sorry that she lied.

"Shannon, who is the father?" Sayid asked very seriously.

"Boone," Shannon started to cry.

"Is that why you were holding you stomach when you fell?" Sayid's voice was beginning to raise. "You're sick, who has sex with their brother!"

"Step brother," Shannon was crying.

"What does it matter! It doesn't make it anymore wrong!" Sayid yelled at her.

"Please don't be mad!" Shannon was begging him.

"Don't be mad! Boone attacked me because, because your in love and he's in love with you!" Sayid got up.

"No that's not what happened!" Shannon grabbed him.

"Get off of me slut!" Sayid shoved Shannon off him and left.

"Jack!" Sayid called. Jack came over to the tent. "She's awake." Sayid grabbed his back pack and headed off for the caves.

"Jack where did he go?" Shannon dried her tears, pretending to be strong.

"To the caves, but I need to give you your medicine," Jack pulled out a pill bottle.

"No not now, that could hurt my baby." Shannon got up and ran out of the tent and through the jungle in search of Sayid. Jack was left in the tent with his jaw dropped to the ground.

Sayid heard Charles scream. Then he say the baby's small face. Charlie was holding him. Claire was drinking water at the stream. Sayid walked over to her. "I just wanted you to know that Shannon is awake, and she's pregnant."

"She told you," Claire looked him in the eyes.

"You knew, why didn't you tell me, or anyone," Sayid asked her.

"It wasn't my business to tell, but I told Charlie anyway," Claire looked at Sayid's feet.

"I'm sorry, she didn't want me to tell because she didn't believe me," Claire apologized.

"It's okay, I just wish she had told me," Sayid sat down with Claire. Claire patted him on the back and then went to get Charles, who was crying. Claire went into her cave with her baby. Charlie sat down at the stream with Sayid.

"The weirdest part is, is that she mentioned Alex," Sayid was staring at the dirt. "I hadn't told her about Alex. Maybe Shannon knows where the others are."

"Maybe," was Charlie's answer. "Maybe your right, and if you are we can save this Alex."

"But that is the problem, Danielle said that Alex was dead, maybe she's alive. We have to get Hurley to find Danielle again. Danielle should know if her daughter if alive." Sayid got up off the ground, and went to find Hurley at the beach.

"Okay then, I'll come with you!" Charlie yelled after Sayid. When Claire came out of the cave, Charlie told her he was going with Sayid and Hurley.

"No! If you don't bring more people, then I wont let you go!" Claire couldn't think of what she would do if she lost Charlie.

"Okay, I'll get more people," Charlie kissed her forehead.

"Good," Claire put Charles on the baby gym, and gave Charlie a good bye hug.

Just for safety, the five guns were passed out. Jack, Sawyer, Sayid, Locke and Kate had guns. Charlie and Hurley had backpacks full of knifes water and other utensils they might need. Before they set off, Shannon came over.

"I'll never trust you again!" Sayid yelled at her. The rest of the group stood around staring for a few seconds and then followed Hurley into the forest.
