Chapter 12

Kate and Charlie walked back into Claire and Charlie's tent. "Hey Claire," Kate said. "How's the baby."

"Oh, he's fine. Did you come to help Charlie and I pick out a name?" Claire asked.

"Yes, I did," Kate said. "Where should we start?"

-------------------------------------

"Hey, Sawyer," Locke said.

"Yeah?" Sawyer said.

"We wandered into boar territory, so you're going to have to…"

Why can't he just shut up! Sawyer thought. All I hear from his mouth is 'blah, blah, blah'. The only thing I recognize is when he says 'Kate' or 'Sawyer', myself, the hottest guy on the island. Or at least Freckles thinks so.

"Sawyer? Hello? Anybody home?" Locke asked.

"Yeah, there's somebody home," Sawyer said. "Why'd you drag me out here? I'd rather be with Kate right now."

"That's not very nice, James. You should respect your elders."

"Yeah? And why's that? Because you told me to?"

"Well… because I'm smarter."

"I'm going back to camp whether you like it or not," Sawyer said. "You old geezer," Sawyer mumbled under his breath.

------------------------------------

"How about Alexander?" Charlie asked.

"Too funky," Kate said. "I think Tom is nice."

"No, there's no way I'll name my child after his father," Claire said, looking at her son. "How about Ross, or Joey, or Chandler?" she asked.

"Are those names from the show 'Friends'?" Kate asked.

"Yeah. It's my favorite show," Claire said.

"No. He shouldn't be named after a fictional TV character," Charlie said, "he should be named--"

Somebody from outside on the beach had interrupted him and said, "Lenny or Damien".

"Hurley, is that you?" Claire asked.

"Dude, yeah," Hurley said.

"I don't know about Damien. I just watched 'The Omen' right before I got on the plane. I'll think about Lenny," Claire said.

"Oh, all right," Hurley said.

Another voice came from outside the tent. It was that of the con man, Sawyer. "You should name him Aaron."

"I like that," Claire said. "Where did you come up with it?"

"It's my middle name. Aaron," Sawyer answered. "My dad thought it was cute. My mom wanted me to be Zander instead of James, so I'd be called Zander Aaron Ford, but my dad won and I became James Aaron Ford."

"I see," Claire said. "Well, it's getting late. You guys should get going."

"Good night Hurley, Charlie, Claire, and little baby Aaron," Kate said.

"Night y'all," Sawyer said.

"Night everybody," Charlie and Claire said simultaneously.

A few minutes later, when everyone was gone, Charlie lay down on the bed and watched as Claire lifted off her shirt to feed the baby before going to bed.

After Aaron was fed, Claire walked over to the stack of clothes that said 'Charlie' and put one of his shirts on.

"I hope you don't expect me to wear one of your shirts," Charlie said.

Claire giggled. "Nope, I don't."

"Good. I wouldn't have anyway."

"Wait until tomorrow," Claire said. "You and Sawyer are getting your hair cut at Claire and Kate's Beauty Salon.

"Oh yippee, I'm thrilled."

"I'm sure Sawyer will say the same thing," Claire said.

"WHAT!" Charlie heard Sawyer yell. "That bites!"

"Goodnight, Charlie," Claire said.

"Goodnight, Love," Charlie said.

All of a sudden Charlie felt the warmth of Claire's arm around his chest, and for the first time in a month, Charlie slept wonderfully.
