DISCLAIMER: Still don't own and still want Sayid and I'll take Jack as well for a friend who I know could put him to good use.

Chapter 2: Sayid and Lissie have a talk

"Honey would you like to go on my rounds with me?" Jack asked Ali the next day. "Sure. Lissie, I'm going with Jack." Ali called to her friend who stepped into the small main room from one of the two small bedrooms. "Okay, I'm going to Charlie and Claire's later to watch Aaron for them so they can spend sometime alone together before she has the baby." Lissie answered.

"See you later then." Ali told her friend. "Have fun." Lissie grinned and headed back into the bedroom in the shelter that Sayid, Jack and Charlie had helped them build. All and all it had become a nice three room home for the friends.

"Lissie." She heard Sayid call. "Hey Sayid." She answered stepping back into the main room. "Hello. I thought you might like some of the fish that was fixed for lunch since you didn't come out to get any thing to eat." Sayid said and offered her the plate he was holding. "Thanks. I was going to get something on my way over to Claire and Charlie's place. Would you like some of the juice that Ali and I made it this morning for breakfast? It's a mango, papaya and pineapple combination. Would you like to try it?" Lissie asked.

"Yes. Thank you." Sayid handed her the plate he had brought her and took the bottle she offered him. "This is quite good." He said after taking a drink. "Thanks. We were tired of just papaya, pineapple or mango juice alone and water was getting boring to. So we decided instead of complaining about it we'd do something. Ali came up with the idea of combining them together and we both like it." She added.

"Me too. Is there enough left to fill the bottle again?" Sayid asked looking rather hopefully at Lissie. "Sure. Besides since we don't have a place, that's not miles away, to store it where it can stay, cool we need to use it up." Lissie answered with a grin as she refilled Sayid's bottle.

A few minutes later Lissie said "I'd like to talk more, but I promised to watch Aaron for Claire and Charlie." "I need to go too. I told Hurley that I'd help him and Jin catch fish today." Sayid agreed. "I'll walk with you to Charlie and Claire's if you like." Sayid offered. "It's on the way to Jin and Sun's." He added. "Sure. Let's go." Lissie agreed and stepped out the door Sayid had opened for her.

Jack and Ali talk

"Baby, do you think Sayid likes Lissie?" Ali asked causing Jack to pause. "I suppose why?" Jack asked curiously. "I was just wondering, because I think she likes him." She explained.

"If he likes her and she likes him don't you think they'd be able to get together on their own?" Jack asked gently. "Well maybe, but they've both been hurt and they might need a push." Ali explained. "Both been hurt? I know Sayid lost Shannon, but who hurt Lissie?" Jack asked in surprise.

"I didn't tell you about her and Tim? I could have sworn that I told you about them." Ali asked. "No. Who's Tim?" Jack wanted to know. "I thought I'd told you about them. About five years ago Lissie was living in Miami. That's were she met a CSI, that's a..." Ali began. "I know what a CSI is." Jack interrupted. "Go ahead." He added.

"Anyway, like I said she met a CSI named Tim Speedle and they started dating and fell in love. He was shot and died before she could tell him goodbye and how much she loved him one last time. She moved back to our home state of Wyoming and hasn't dated anyone since." Ali told her friends story.

"Sayid hasn't shown any interest in anyone since Shannon died either."Jack agreed. "Out of curiosity what makes you think that Sayid likes Lissie?" Jack asked.

"About six months after Shannon died he started showing up at our place helping us build our home, like you and Charlie did. Sometimes after we were done for the day he'd come over and bring her a plate of fish or boar. Other times he'd bring her fresh fruit. About three months after that he brought us Shannon's clothes, saying that he couldn't use them and to give them to those who could." Ali explained. "Not to mention the fact that every so often he'll come and ask her if she wants to go on a walk with him. I don't think she even really realizes that he likes her, it's been awhile and she's rusty when it comes to romance and signals." Ali added.

"I think your right. It sounds to me like he's trying to court her or work up the nerve to court her. He's a little rusty too." Jack agreed. "Since they've both been hurt by love it probably will take a pretty good push to get them to realize that they like each other." He added.

"I check into tomorrow with Charlie and Claire and see what they think." Jack told Ali. "Just check in with Charlie. Claire's gone into match making mode." Ali warned. "Well then they'll get together. She got us together after all. I thank her for that every so often by the way." Jack said with a grin and stole a kiss.

"Come on doc get a room. We don't wanna see you kissin' your girl right out here in front of everyone." Sawyer's said in his sassy southern' drawl as he walked by them with his arm around Kate. "We don't like having to see you kiss Kate either so deal with it." Jack answered and kissed Ali playfully again not just to annoy Sawyer but because he liked kissing her as often as he could. 'I might need to talk to Echo about using his wedding service soon.' Jack thought to himself.
