Chapter Two

(Charlie's dream)

Charlie ran through the jungle calling for help.

"Jack! Kate! Sawyer! Anybody! Help!"

The first person Charlie came to was Kate.

"Kate, follow me! We have a crisis." Charlie said, his heart pounding.

"Does it involve Claire?" Kate asked.

"Yeah, it does." Charlie said.

Charlie and Kate started running through the jungle until they got to a clearing. The first thing Kate saw was Claire, sitting there with her hand on her stomach. Kate had seen her do this many times before, but now it was somehow different. Her expression was a major look of worry.

Kate ran over to Claire and asked what was happening.

Claire didn't say anything, but she let out a slow moan.

"Charlie, go get Jack!" Kate said. "And hurry."

Charlie ran back through the jungle and straight into the caves. He was surprised to see that no one was there. He then headed straight to the beach. When he got there, the only things there were a signal fire, pieces of the wreckage, and sitting with a sun hat was the beautiful pregnant girl. Claire.

Confused, Charlie walked hesitantly over towards Claire. As soon as he got over there he noticed something was different. "Um… Hello." Charlie said.

Claire turned around, and Charlie's eyes went straight to Claire's arms. In her arms was a baby.

"Meet the newcomer Charlie," Claire said.

"Where's everybody else?" Charlie asked.

"I don't know. When the baby was born, Kate just disappeared like she was never there," Claire said.

Suddenly there was a loud rumbling noise. "What's that?" Charlie asked, pointing out over the water.

"Looks like a plane. An Oceanic plane. The tail section is missing, just like our plane," Claire said.

As the plane was about to crash, Charlie opened his eyes.

He looked to his right and saw Claire sleeping peacefully. Charlie leaned over and kissed her.
