Lost Hope
Chapter 15
A/N: Okay so I lied and didnt even know I was, i will be bringing Penny into the story but only for this chapter and it's gonna be my own twist of it.
It's night time and as we all sit there floating on the life raft, I was Sitting between Desmond, laying my head on his chest trying hard not to fall asleep but it was hard because he was rubbing his hand up and down my back. I hear Aaron fussing and Kate was trying to calm him.
"Is he okay?" I asked her
"He's fine. It's a miracle." Kate said smiling at Aaron.
"I can't believe he did it." Hurley said
"Who did what?" Kate asked him
"Locke. He moved the island." Hurley said.
"No, he didn't." Jack told him
"Oh, really? 'Cause... one minute it was there, and the next it was gone, so... unless we, like, overlooked it, Dude, that's exactly what he did. But... if you've got another explanation, man, I'd love to hear it." Hurley said and I looked at Desmond who just shrugged.
"God almighty." I hear Frank say, "There's a boat. There's a boat out there! There's a boat out there. Hey! There's a boat! You see it?! Hey! Hey! Hey! Over here! Does it see us?" He asks and we all stand up.
"I think it does!" Desmond says behind me.
"Hey!" Sayid yells
"Hey!" Desmond and I shout
"Is it turning? It's turning! Hey! Hey!" Frank said
I hear Jack mumble something
"What?" Kate asked
"We're gonna have to lie." Jack repeated
"Lie about what?" Sun asked him
"Everything, all of it, every moment since we crashed on the island." Jack told us
"Jack... now I know I'm new to this group and everything, but isn't this the place where everybody starts jumping up and down and hugging each other?" Frank said
"Your freighter... those men came to the island to kill us, all of us. You said that our plane was discovered on the bottom of the ocean. Well, someone put it there-someone who wants everyone to think that we're dead. So what do you think's gonna happen to us when we tell them that that wasn't our plane? What do you think's gonna happen to the people that we left behind?" Jack told us.
"Jack, we can't. We can't pull it off." I told him
"Just let me do the talking." Jack said
"Aponta adiante, lá! Lá!" a man shouted
"Uma jangada. Cheio de gente! São oito deles!" I hear another man say
"De onde eles vieram? De onde eles vieram?"
"Ei, aqui! Dá uma olhada aqui!"
"Depressa! Pega uns cobertores e a caixa de primeiros socorros. Traga pra aqui agora."
"Uma jangada com pessoas, Ms. Widmore!" The one guy shouted, wait what? I thought to myself "Ms. Widmore, venha à proa!"
"Throw them a rope! Take them 'round to the stern!" A lady yells and they throw a rope down to us and Sayid grabs it pulling our raft towards the boat and they drop a ladder down. Sayid goes first followed by Kate who's holding Aaron, Sun, Me, Desmond, Hurley, Frank and Jack, I hear Sayid intoduce us all and when he said my name the woman looked at me.
"Freya Johnson?" She asked and I nodded, "I'm Penelope Widmore, my father is Charles Widmore." She said and I looked at Desmond then back at her, "My father hired a man to go to the island, that man was your uncle." She told me, "Did he find you?" She asked me and I nodded.
"How do you know it was my uncle?" I asked her and she smiled.
"Your uncle and I are engaged." She told me and I looked at her in shock.
"Engaged? What?" I asked her.
"I'm sure you have a lot of questions but first how about we get you all cleaned up and into fresh clothes." She said and ushered for us to follow her.
We all got rooms and clothes to change into, after finally showering which felt amazing, we made our way to the top deck to talk to Penny, I was the last to arrive and I heard Jack finishing up telling her about the island.
"You've all been there for that long?" She asked and I went over to Desmond who smiled at me and held up his arm for me, I stood next to him and he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
"Thats right, but here's the thing, no one can know the truth, we have to lie about what really happened." Jack told her.
"Why do you need to lie?" Penny asked us.
"It's the only way we can keep everyone safe." Jack said and Pneey looked confused but she nodded her head.
"All right here's what we're gonna do." She said.
After Penny had helped us figure out how we were going to come up wih a believable story everyone returned to their rooms but I stayed up top with Desmond and Penny.
"So...You and my uncle" I said to her and she smiled.
"Yeah small world" She told me.
"How did you two..."
"We met when he docked in London before moving on." She said cutting me off, "We ran into each other and after we went on a couple dates everything progressed from there." She said to me and I nodded, "We were togther for a year and a half when we got engaged, but then my father hired him for a job and Emmit said we would get married when he got back." I looked down, how was I going to tell her that the man she loves is dead?
"Ms. Widmore." I said
"Please call me Penny" She told me.
"My uncle's freighter found us on the island, something went wrong when me and Desmond were on it. I'm so sorry but...My uncle...was shot, he's dead." I told her and saddness hit her face.
"He...he's dead?" She asked and all I could do was nod my head, I walked over to her and put my hand on her shoulder.
"He dies trying to protect not only me but everyone else on the island." I told her and she nodded and pulled me into a hug as she cried. I fought everyhing in me from crying along with her.
Later that night me and Desmond returned to our guest room and I went over to the bed and laid down staring at the ceiling, then I hear Desmond walk over and lay down next to me.
"Crazy past couple of days." I told him turning to look at him and he smiled.
"Right you are love. I have a feeling its about to get crazier though." He told me and he was right, the plan that we pulled together was going to make our lives different now. That's why I'm glad Desmond agreed that as soon as we got married we were going to get a boat and just sail until it was time for me to have the baby. I leaned forward and kissed him deeply and he put his hands in my hair pulling me closer and opening my lips with his tongue then sliding his in. I moaned and rolled over on top of him and straddled his hips, it had been a while since we were intimate and it felt so good to be with him like this again. Desmond grabbed my hips and I felt the buldge in his pants grow as I went to unbutton his shirt, he lifted slightly and helped me get it off of him and he took mine off as well. I moved away from his mouth and kissed down his neck lightly biting as I moved to his chest leaving a trail of kisses and bites, I heard him moan in his throat and I got closer to the waist line of his pants and started to undo the button and zipper. I pulled his pants slightly and he lifted his hips so I could get them and his boxers off, I placed kisses near his already hard member then ran my tongue along the bottom of it and he jerked. I slowly eased my mouth on it and sucked the tip then using my tongue as a guide I took him in my mouth and started to move my head. He grabbed my hair and groaned as my movements quickened and I went as deep as I could go running my tongue up and down.
"God Freya you're gonna have to stop otherwise I'm not gonna last." He said then grunted as I craddled his balls while continuing to move my head. Just then he lifted my head off and pulled me up flipping me on my back and undid my jeans and slide them down, then he started to do the same thing I did before, kissing and biting me all the way from my neck to my breast then to my thighs. He took two of his fingers and slowly pushed them inside me curling them up so they hit the right spot and started pumping hem in and out, I grabbed the bed with my hands biting my lip to stop from screaming his name. Just then he moved his mouth to my center and started using his tongue on my clit while sucking on it, I couldnt contain it I let out a moan and then put a pillow over my face to muffle myself but then I feel his move him move the pillow away.
"No, dont I wanna hear you love." He said then continued, I really hoped these walls were thick because as he went back he put another finger in moving faster I let another moan out.
"Oh god Desmond" I moaned and then my orgasm hit, I tried to catch my breath but he came up to my face and kissed me then pushed himself in me and started to move his hips slowly just to tease me then picked up the pace and moved my left leg over his arm and his other one cradled my head and he went deeper and faster. My hands clung to his back and I tried not to dig my nails in to hard as he rocked against me, after what felt like forever he pushed into me a few more times then on the last one he grunted as he reached his peak. He let my leg fall and stayed on top of me for a few more minutes and we just stared at each other.
"You love are going to be the death of me" He said and I chuckled then he kissed me before laying down next to me and I layed my head on his chest still trying to catch my breath.
"Good thing I'm a doctor then." I laughed and he turned so that were facing each other.
"Are you okay with the plan you guys set up?" He asked me running his hand along my arm.
"No, not really I mean. why cant we just tell the truth? If Hurley was right and John moved the Island then there's no way anyone would find it. Telling people the truth would still keep everyone we left behind safe." I said
"Maybe its for the best though Freya, we get home, you guys tell a story then you and me get married and start sailing." He told me
"I know but it's just...I have to leave you again to float to another Island with people on it and again wait for someone to come rescue us. I dont feel safe without you next to me and I know that sounds pathetic or whatever but I'm afraid that if I leave and your mind travels back again and you dont remember where you are and I'm not here then what? No one other then the rest of us know about it-" He cut me off with a kiss and then looked at me.
"I love you Freya no matter what we will always find each other, we wont be apart for long, it will only be a couple days. As far as my flashes go I havent had any since the freighter, I told you, you're my constant, you keep me here." He said and I smiled, how could it be possible to love someone this much? He gave me one last kiss and we went to sleep. Tomorrow everything was about to change.
We woke up the next day and I went to the rear of the boat where Jack and Frank were puting a raft into the water.
"How long till we'll hit land?" Jack asked him
"Well, if the wind's not too brutal... eight, nine hours. " He said dropping a plank, "Just long enough to give you a nice, convincing sunburn."
"Well... it's been a pleasure, Frank. I hope we never see each other again." Jack said and shook his hand.
"Roger that, Doc." Frank said.
"Thank you so much for everything Frank." I said and gave him a hug.
"Your welcome Freya, and don't worry I'll watch after him until you see each other again." He said looking at Desmond who was walking over with Kate and Penny.
"Bye, sweetheart." Penny said to Aaron giving him a kiss on the head and I walked over to her and Desmond walked up to Jack.
"Penny I cant thank you enough for everything that you have done for us." I said and she pulled me into a hug.
"You dont need to thank me dear, I loved your uncle and he always talked about you and how much he missed you." She said letting go and I tried not to let the tears in my eyes fall but they did.
"Thank you, I'm sorry you lost him."
"We both lost him love, I know he died protecting you and thats all he would want." She said and I gave hr one last hug then walked over to Desmond who pulled me tight against him kissing the top of my head.
"Ready love?" He asked and I shook my head then he kissed me tenderly but deeply and then Me, Jack, Kate and Aaron, Hurley, Sayid and Sun all got in the raft.
"All right. Let's go home." Jack said and we floated away, I looked back at the ship and saw Desmond standing where we just were looking at me I turned my head away after giving him a small smile and tried to wipe away my tears. I felt Kate grab my hand with her free one and gave it a light squeeze.
"You'll see him soon, dont worry." She said and I nodded. I know shes right, I just wanted to get this over with.
