Chapter 7: Pictures of You
It was a week later and Claire was helping to organize Jack's things, as well as Kate's and Sawyer's. Sun explained to her that it would be a good idea to keep the missing 3 things together for when they came back. It had helped Claire when she returned. Rose, Bernard, Charlie, and Hurley were helping too. Since Sun was pregnant, she was in charge of getting the medicine and light things. Locke, whose legs had healed fast, was babysitting Aaron for Claire.
Claire put some more of Jack's thing in a suitcase, when Charlie came over to her. "Hey love." He gave her a quick kiss. "Need any help?"
"No. I think I'm almost done with Jack's stuff." She zipped up the suitcase.
"At least it's not Sawyer's! He has so much bloody things! It's like walking into a department store."
She laughed at his comment. "How's Hurley taking this?"
Charlie looked over at his friend. "Ok. I guess. He feels really guilty." Charlie noticed Claire seemed to be working to hard. "How are you really Claire?"
"I'm fine." She looked away and went back to work.
He knelt down beside her. "The nightmare was about Aaron." He touched her shoulder.
Claire saw the worried look in his eyes. She had to tell him. "Only part of it. Jack warned me to keep Aaron and myself safe. He said "the Others" were coming back for us."
Charlie understood about the dreams. "Was there something else?" He asked quietly.
She paused before answering. "I saw Jack, Kate, and Sawyer get kidnapped."
Charlie was to stunned to talk. Her visions were back.
"Claire? Charlie?" Sun found them. "We're moving the luggage."
"Ok." Claire replied. She hurriedly picked up the suitcase of Jack's things. However, the zipper suddenly broke. Items fell from the case onto the sand.
"We'll help love." Charlie reached down along with Sun to pick things up. "The zipper must be broken."
Claire inspected it. The zipper was fine. "That's odd. It's unzipped. I remember zipping it."
She spotted a wallet lying open in the sand. It must be Jack's. Claire picked it up and brushed the sand off. The driver license she saw shocked her. The picture was a man she hadn't seen in 16 years. "Oh my God!"
"Claire?" Charlie worried from the look on her face. He rushed over to join her.
Sun followed and asked, "What is it?"
Claire looked back at the license and up to them. "It's my dad!"
Her words shocked them. Claire had never really talked about her father to Charlie, and Sun only heard about him a couple days earlier.
"Are you sure?" Charlie asked.
Claire sat down at a makeshift table. "Yes. Charlie, get my diary."
"Ok." He ran off to find it.
Claire took out the license and laid it on the table. "Christian Shephard." She said in disbelief. "Mom told me it was Littleton. Why does Jack have his wallet?"
"Maybe you should check for other pictures?" Sun suggested.
Before she could Charlie came back with the diary, Locke, and Aaron. "Here Claire." He handed the book to her. Locke, holding the baby, wondered what was happening.
Claire opened her diary toward the beginning. She had taped of picture of her dad holding her. She sat the license next to it. Daddy?
"It's the same man Claire." Locke told her. "He's just aged."
Clair picked up the wallet again to search it. She found the part with pictures. As she found a new one she laid them down on the table. There was one of a dark haired woman named Margo; a picture of a little boy, who had to be Jack, in a football jersey; a picture of Jack and her father at a hospital in matching white coats; and one of what looked like Jack's wedding and he was with a blonde woman.
Everyone was stunned at the pictures. Claire was almost in tears. What is going on?
"This looks like Jack's dad." Charlie said surprised. "And Jack's married?"
"He's not anymore." Sun replied. Charlie and Locke gave her looks. "He told me when I lost my wedding ring."
Claire sat with her head in her hands trying to make sense of everything. It felt like her whole world, as she knew it was falling apart. Was I being lied to my whole life?
"Claire?" Sun touched her shoulder. "Look here." She pointed to a secret fold in the lining of the wallet.
Claire reached in a pulled out 3 more pictures: one of her mother Lindsey with Christian; another of herself as a baby; and her senior photo from high school. She was finally able to speak. "Does this mean what I think it means?"
Sun, Charlie, and Locke all gave her knowing looks. Even Aaron was looking towards her. She suddenly remembered Jack being the first person to help her after the crash and saving her life from the plane wing crashing down.
A small smile came to her face. "I'm Jack's sister."
