(Sun's point of view)

I love Jin more than anything. Don't make any mistake of that. It's just that he has this temper that he can't always control. I get so sick of it, him being sweet and loving one minute and then raving and dangerous the next. I don't know what to make of it usually. Normally I end up getting angry and leaving him alone for a while. I know it hurts him when I do this but it's usually the only way that I can get through to him that I can't stand his frequent mood swings. Oh I don't know anymore, I hate that I had to lie to him about that baby. Although I might not have been… the child might have been Jin's but my mind keeps telling me that it's not. If only I didn't feel so guilty every time that Jin strokes my slowly growing stomach.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Charlie scolded himself as he nearly ran away from Claire's tent. "She was right there in front of me but I had to get scared and run! Why?" Charlie cried and was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he didn't realize that someone was listening to him.

"Why do you think you are stupid?" Eko asked in his heavily accented voice. Charlie was clearly startled but looked relived when he saw it was only Eko and not some kind of whacked out Other.

"Oh you know, the usual. I had the opportunity to say to Claire everything that I've been feeling these past few days and I ran off like some nut job!" Eko smiled slightly at the way that Charlie managed to use sarcasm even when he was upset.

"That does not make you stupid Charlie. Everyone reacts differently to pressure," Eko replied reasonably. Charlie just shook his head.

"No I have never handled pressure that way before. I used to always tackle it head on, I get it from my father I suppose," Charlie insisted. Eko smiled and seemed like he knew something Charlie didn't.

"Have you ever been in love before Charlie?" Charlie looked taken aback by this statement and had to grope for the right words to respond with.

"I thought I was… once…" Charlie muttered and Eko's smile widened.

"The answer remains right in front of your nose and yet you cannot see two inches in front of you," Eko replied mysteriously. "Did you ever consider that you have more than friendly feelings towards Claire? Perhaps love?" Eko waited a moment for a reaction from Charlie and then walked away. Charlie on the other hand looked stunned at this new idea of… love.

"Okay Kate, don't be alarmed by Henry here. He might try to tell you his sob story about his supposed wife and air balloon but he's already admitted to us that he's an Other. He's good with words." Kate nodded at Jack to show that she understood and Jack slowly swung the door to the hatch open. Inside Locke, Ana, and Sayid were all bunched in a corner and frequently cast shifty glances towards the armory door. At the sight of Ana though, the once calm and reasonable Kate was raging.

"Ana knew about this! I'm the one that was here on this beach with YOU since the beginning but Ana knew about this before I did? Am I one of the last freaking people on the island to know Jack?" Jack looked surprised at Kate's sudden outburst and looked lost for words.

"Kate… I didn't tell Ana! It was Locke's idea and…" Kate glared at Jack and interrupted him in mid sentence.

"That's not the real issue here Jack! The real issue is that you had to have known that Ana was in on this and you still didn't tell me? Am I really that far out of the loop Jack? Am I officially kicked out of your club now?" Kate was now close to tears and if Jack didn't have a reputation to hold up then he might have had some tears in his eyes as well. He didn't realize how hurt Kate must've felt. Then he realized how much hurt SHE was causing him and his guilt was replaced with anger.

"Well maybe you should've thought about that before you decided to randomly kiss me and then run away!" Jack shouted and the hatch was silent. Jack didn't realize how terrible his words sounded until he had screamed them and now the silence was deafening. Kate shook her head in disbelief and without another word left the hatch. The silence remained until there was a muffled cry from the armory.

"Sounds like Jack's got some woman issues!" Henry shouted from his little prison. Everyone ignored him and Ana was the next to speak.

"Well… Jack I didn't know that you and Kate had a little thing going on." Suddenly Michael burst through the hatch door and demanded,

"Where is he?"

Everyone looked in shock at Michael until Locke pointed to the armory door with one of his crutches. Jack without really thinking put the combination in for Michael and he stormed into the armory. As soon as Henry and Michael's eyes met the whole room seemed to be filled with hostility.

"You," Michael snarled dangerously. Gale only sneered in response. "You are the one that caught me! You are the one that tried to kill me. You are the one that told me gruesome tales about my son." Gale only stared back with that sneer still firmly in place. Michael was silent until suddenly he pulled his fist out and hit Gale right across the face. Gale let out a little yelp and suddenly Michael was pounding every inch of Henry that he could get to until Sayid yanked him off. Raving and hysterical Michael tried to push Sayid away so he could get back to Henry but it was too late. The armory door was shut and locked again.

"Michael! Michael calm down!" Sayid shouted and Ana reached over to help Sayid control Michael. Jack just sort of watched with a dazed look on his face for a moment and then finally seemed to come to and helped by dumping a random pitcher of cold water on Michael's face. This left Michael spluttering, cold, and wet on the ground but he had stopped flailing around. Everyone stared in surprise at Jack for a while.

"What? You mean none of you ever tried that before?"

A/N: I know… kind of a weird spot to end it but I ran out of ideas. So please, please, please review! I get way more hits than reviews and I would like to change a little bit. Thank you!
