A/N: Thanks for the reviews! I love mysteries. You only get little bits of info at a time. LOL And now we have the first chapter with a flashback:)
Chapter 5: Catch a Falling Star
Two days had passed since Hurley came back. Sayid was now trying to make the castaways calm and become their interim leader. He, along with Locke, Eko, Desmond, Charlie, Hurley, and Jin were forming a plan to get the 3 back. Claire and Sun wanted to help, but the men told them they had to take care of their babies, making them feel left out. Aaron was a month old and Sun was starting to she her pregnancy. The two were talking while the men were discussing plans.
"Sun?" Claire asked. "Do you think they are ok?"
Sun looked at the younger woman. She could tell something was bothering her. "They'll be all right. We will find them."
"But who knows what "the Others" are doing to them. They were going to kill me to take Aaron." Claire admitted. Only Kate, Danielle, and Jack knew that.
Sun was shocked. "No wonder you tried to forget it."
"What if they want Aaron and me back? What if they want you?" It seemed like an anxiety attack was coming on.
"Claire." Sun hugged her. Claire was almost in tears. "We will be fine. Just keep the faith."
She nodded and Aaron suddenly woke up crying. Claire moved over to her son and picked him up.
"What's wrong honey? Did you have a bad dream too?"
Sun wondered what Claire meant by that.
"Uncle Jack, Aunt Kate, and Uncle Sawyer will be fine." She kissed her baby's forehead and laid him down in the cradle.
Aaron stopped crying but he needed to go back to sleep. "How about I sing grandpa's song?"
Claire started singing the lyrics to Catch a Falling Star by Perry Como, thinking about her dad.

4-year-old Claire woke up from a bad dream. "Daddy!" She was really scared.
"What's wrong kiddo?" Her dad walked in and set on her bed. "Did you have a bad dream?"
Claire nodded and hugged her dad. She felt better now that he was here.
"It's all right Claire." He told her. She liked his voice. It was a lot different then her mom's. He had another accent.
She sat back down and looked up at him. "Why can't you be here every night?"
He looked down at his daughter. "Daddy had an important job. He saves people's lives."
"Really?" Claire was amazed.
"Yes." He laughed at her wonder. "Now is my little angel ready for bed?"
"Can you sing me my song?" Claire asked.
"Sure." Her dad started to sing "Catch a Falling Star" as Claire drifted off to sleep.
Present
Claire looked at her son sleeping. "When we get off this island, we'll find grandpa. He lives in Los Angeles."
"Los Angeles?" Sun asked surprised.
"My dad's American." Claire explained. "That's part of the reason I was on the plane. I was going to find him."
