Final chapter! This is it guys. Oh well. Hope you enjoyed it. This was my first fic so if it wasn't that great, hopefully I'll get better for the next one.

Warning – a little bit of Jack-bashing.

It's over and I still don't own Lost or any of these characters. Sigh…

Chapter 16

When Charlie woke up in the morning, he went over to Aaron and picked him up. "Hey Buddy. According to your mum, I'm going to be your daddy." Aaron looked up at him and cooed. Charlie looked over at Claire, still shirtless from the night before, as she rolled onto her back and opened her eyes.

"Good morning, honey," Claire said, "How's Aaron?"

"He's fine, and good morning back to you, love," Charlie said.

Claire walked over to Charlie and kissed him on the cheek. "Go get yourself cleaned up," Claire said, "For the wedding."

"How come I didn't know about this wedding?" Charlie asked, although he liked the fact that Claire took charge and scheduled this wedding without consulting him. He was head over heels in love with her, and it was fine by him that she wanted to marry him. It took the pressure off of him asking her and waiting for her response. "Oh yeah, by the way, Aaron's wet."

"Kate and I already went around and told everyone but you and Sawyer. That's what we were doing when you and Sawyer started arguing yesterday," Claire said, as she walked over and grabbed a clean nappy that Charlie had made for Aaron. Charlie walked over and put Aaron in his crib so Claire could change him.

"You know, Charlie, once you're his daddy, you will need to change him sometimes too."

"Oh, bollocks," Charlie said under his breath. Then out loud he told Claire, "Yes, of course I will. Hey, if I have to go get cleaned up, how about you come with me," Charlie said smiling.

"Because no one can watch Aaron right now," Claire said, "So go."

"So you're saying that when I'm done, I have to watch my buddy Aaron while you get cleaned up?" Charlie asked.

"Exactly," Claire said.

Charlie walked out of the tent and went over to the ocean. He took off his shirt and shoes, and ran and jumped in when he got out deep enough. When he emerged from the water he felt a splash. He turned to see Sawyer swimming with just his boxers on. He also saw Kate, when she came up from under water, and she was only in her bra and underwear.

"What are you doing out here, Amigo?" Sawyer asked him. "Ain't it a little deep for you?"

"For your information, Claire made me go clean up for our wedding. And no, it's not too deep for me. I've been practicing my swimming," Charlie said back to Sawyer.

Before Sawyer could speak, another voice was heard from deeper in the water. It came from the island doctor, Jack. "Why don't you all go swimming closer to the beach. Only real men can swim out here in my part of the ocean."

"Then what are you doing out here?" Sawyer asked. "You're definitely not a real man."

"Please tell me Jack's wearing a shirt," Kate said as she hid behind Sawyer. She didn't want Jack to see her in her bra and panties.

"Kate, stop trying to hide. I already saw you," Jack said. He muttered under his breath, "Why isn't she with me?"

"Hey Doctor Giggles, go swim into shore where all the little kids swim," Sawyer said. "You'd probably fit in."

Jack looked over at Sawyer, then Charlie, then finally Kate. He sank under the water and started to swim into shore. "That's right Jack, you get your extremely nasty hairy chest out of the ocean," Kate said. "Go play with Ana Lucia."

Jack turned around and Charlie, Sawyer and Kate started laughing because they saw that Jack's eyes started watering up.

"Good one Kate," Charlie said as he dunked his head under the water and put his fingers under his eyes and pretended he was crying.

"Charlie are you almost done?" from the shore, the loving and caring voice of the most beautiful woman made Charlie come to his senses.

"I'm on my way," Charlie said.

"All right," Claire said walking back to the tent.

Charlie started swimming in towards the shore. When he reached it, he got up and splashed Jack. Then he ran towards his tent. When he looked into the tent, he saw Claire getting undressed and getting ready to wash up. "Hey love," Charlie said.

Claire turned towards him and kissed him. "I'm going to go get ready. Try to wear something decent that you haven't worn yet, so it should be somewhat clean."

"Ok, Claire," Charlie said in his reassuring voice.

Once again, Claire kissed him and handed Charlie the baby. "Look after him well," Claire said as she walked out.

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

Claire slowly walked into the water. "This water is so hot, how could this be refreshing," Claire said to herself. "How did Charlie do this?"

From out in the water, she heard someone yell, "Come on in Claire, the water's fine."

She recognized it as Kate's voice. "This water is really hot," Claire said as she walked in anyway.

"Kate?" Claire said. "How can you stand the temperature of the water? It can't be refreshing."

"It's not very nice but hey, if you can wash up it's gonna be fine," Kate said as she dunked her head under the water.

All of a sudden Claire felt a pair of hands on her back. She turned around to see Sawyer looking at her and smiling his toothy grin. "Gotcha."

"Sawyer!" Claire yelled. "You almost gave me a heart attack." She playfully punched him in the arm.

Kate came out of the water and said to Sawyer, "I think we should leave Claire so that she can get cleaned up."

"One question," Sawyer said. "How come I didn't know about this wedding?"

"Because you would have told Charlie," Kate said.

"No I wouldn't have," Sawyer said.

"Oh well Sawyer," Kate said. "We have to go, I'm starting to prune up.

Kate and Sawyer started to swim in towards the shore. Claire swam out a little further and started to wash herself.

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

After Claire had been in the water for more than thirty minutes, she swam in and walked back to her tent. When she walked in she saw Charlie sitting there with Aaron in his arms and sleeping.

"Hey honey?" Claire said.

"Hey yourself," Charlie conversed. "Aaron just fell asleep about a few minutes ago."

Claire came in and took off her wet clothes. She didn't mind if Charlie watched. Preferably she actually wanted him to. She walked over and kissed him. Then she walked over to her stack of clothes and picked out something nice.

She picked out a white dress with purple and blue polka-dots. Charlie picked out a blue button down shirt with a pair of jeans. They put Aaron in a blanket and one of his nappies.

They were getting ready to get married.

They walked out of their tent and walked down the beach holding hands.

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

"Hey Kate, Sawyer," Claire said as they stopped at Sawyer and Kate's tent.

"Hey Claire," Kate said.

"Hey Mamacita," Sawyer said.

"What about me?" Charlie said. "I'm here too. Along with Aaron."

"I'm sorry Charlie," Kate said. "You too, Aaron."

"Well," Kate said. "Are you ready to be wed?"

"Well of course," Charlie said.

"I am also ready," Claire said.

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

Charlie and Claire gave Kate Aaron to hold before they got married.

Soon everybody was at Charlie and Claire's tent, so that they could be wed.

When everybody got there Eko came up and did his thing, and finally he said; "Do you, Claire Littleton, take Charles Pace as your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do," Claire said as she looked over at Charlie and smiled.

Then Eko said to Charlie; "Do you Charles Pace, take Claire Littleton as lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do," Charlie said as he looked toward the other castaways and then to Claire. He also smiled.

"You may now kiss the bride," Eko said.

Charlie leaned over to Claire and kissed her softly. "I'm gonna get you off this island," Charlie said under his breath. "I promise."

"You really mean it?" Claire asked.

Before Charlie could say anything, John Locke interrupted him. "Is that a boat?"

Everybody looked over towards the beach. "I think it is," Kate said.

"I told you," Charlie said to Claire as she looked over towards him and kissed him.

Charlie and Claire ran over to Kate and grabbed Aaron. Then they walked down the beach holding hands and screaming, "We are saved! We are saved!"

Charlie, Claire, and Aaron lived happily ever after. Or did they?
