Ok folks we're at the end. I felt this needed to be ended it before I butchered it lol. So please review and let me know what you think or give me new ideas for stories, etc. Thanks for reading people!


At the sight of the group everyone stopped what they were doing and crowded around them. Relief washed over the doctor's eyes as he saw Ana and her young daughter return safely. Sawyer had a proud father grin on his face as the islanders eyed up the family; if that's what you wanted to call it. Sure they had a kid together but, Ana and Sawyer were not together. Yet anyways; Claire would gossip about it to Charlie about "How cute Sawyer and Ana looked together. They should get together". Charlie would just nod and smile pretending like he actually cared if they got together or not.

Ana waved slightly to Jack and walked closer to him. She already knew that he was going to interrogate her on where she was and what happened. But, right now that was the last thing on her mind. She returned safely, her daughter returned safely. Now all she wanted to do was make her way to the hatch and take a nice long shower and possibly a nap; if Raquel would allow it that is.

Ana-Lucia told Jack that she would tell him the story later and that right now she just wanted to rest. Jack returned a small smile and nodded and decided that he would grant her, her wish. Instead he walked over to Kate; she would give him some answers.

Ana sat down on one of Sawyer's airline chairs and studied the scene around her. People were still talking all at once and Rose had captured Raquel and was giving her loving kisses on her little palms. Her lips were curled into the slightest smile. To her the world stopped and the only thing she could see was her daughter. Everything else around her was a blur and it sounded like a blur; she could hear voices and conversations but, she wasn't actually listening. It was like tunnel vision and at the end of her tunnel was Raquel; her pride and joy, her daughter, her life.

Sawyer sat next to her and grinned. He counted the minutes she stared ahead. She was lost in her own little world. After about approximately six minutes later she finally jolted slightly and shook her head. Ana had finally realized that he was sitting next to her. After giving her one of his charming smiles she finally asked him what his problem was.

"Nothing cupcake." He said diverting his line of sight towards his daughter.

"It still baffles me sometimes." Ana said out of no where.

"What, that you had a kid or that you had a kid with me?" Sawyer asked with a slight laugh.

"Both…" She said laughing and staring at the ground.

"You look pretty tired hot lips, why don't I take her for the night and let you be free to do… well whatever you wanna do." Sawyer suggested.

She eyed him carefully.

"No it's okay, I'll be fine." She said.

"I insist." He said putting his hand over his heart.

Ana thought about it for a minute and finally agreed. She stood slowly and stretched out her sore muscles. A shower did sound really good.

"Thanks, cowboy I think I'll grab a shower in the hatch." She said making her way to the tree line. Sawyer waved and stood also.

He made his way over to Rose who still held Raquel. He smiled politely and held his hands out for his daughter. Rose kissed her once more before handing the baby over to her father. She nodded before walking off towards Bernard.

Sawyer then quickly retreated back to his shelter away from the slowly dying down craziness. Once inside he laid his daughter down on his makeshift bed and waited a few minutes to see if she would nap or not. After about ten minutes he finally decided that Raquel wasn't going to sleep so he gladly picked her up and held her close. She gurgled while playing with her daddy's shirt.

(Sawyer)

I sat here and played with Raquel for a while before I noticed her eyes getting heavy. I carefully laid her down on the bed once again and I lay next to her. I stroked her tummy slowly and waited for her to finally fall asleep.

A little while later I was watching my baby cakes sleep. I agree with Lulu, I never thought I would have a kid let alone a kid with her. Don't get me wrong she is a great, good looking sarcastic, loud-mouth firecracker but, a kid? With her? I never thought in a million years.

I'm glad I had Raquel with Ana because they're both so beautiful and I wouldn't want it any other way. I lay down next to Raquel and out my hands behind my head and stare at the tarp ceiling.

I over heard Claire one day talking to Charlie about Ana and I. They didn't realize I was behind them but, I heard them talking about how Ana and I should get together. I hadn't thought too much about it; I mean sure we have a daughter together and everything but, us together… as a couple? That to me would be so foreign.

I looked one last time at my daughter as she lay sleeping soundly. I turned over and closed my eyes. Just as I was about to fall asleep I heard someone open the tarp to my shelter. I quickly looked up and was met with the sight of muchacha herself. She smiled.

"Hey, I was just checking up on you guys." She whispered.

I smiled back as she was about to leave I stopped her.

"What?" She questioned.

"Stay, we can have a sleepover." I grinned.

"But what's a sleepover without popcorn?" She asked.

"Sorry I'm all out maybe another day."

She finally joined the two of us in our tent. I watched as she lay down and close her eyes with a content sigh. I followed suit and closed mine also.

Maybe one day she and I will get together, maybe not. Either way it's okay with me because we both have Raquel and I'm perfectly fine with baby cakes…

…although I did realize that Ana was lying next to me instead of Raquel.

I grinned.

Interesting…
