Title: Baby Blues
Author: Typhoid-love
Rating: K+, because this is meant to be cute.
Summary: Shannon has been avoiding Sayid and he has no idea why. He's in for a big surprise.
Disclaimer: If I owned Lost I would not be writing fanfiction about it... I would be making Shannon still alive! (Pfft, damn writers)
Authors Note: Unfortunately this chappy is rather short. However I do believe that the next chapter (the last chapter) is going to be the longest. By the way I have decided that, yes, I am going to write and epilogue for this fic. I hope you all enjoy this chapter... even though it is short. Sorry if there are any misspells. I'm just too much of a bum to do spell check.
UPDATE, 5/23/11: Fixing some spelling errors, I noticed there were a few.
Sayid's mission was impossible. As a former Iraqi soldier, he knew that there was no way he could do this and actually succeed.
Shannon was now in her eight month of pregnancy and she was craving chocolate like a fat kid with diabetes. She whined, she complained, and she cried for chocolate. She had even kicked Sayid out of the tent because she didn't have her precious candy.
He just couldn't take it anymore. He needed to get Shannon what she needed so he could have one day of peace.
Now he was stomping around the jungle hopelessly hunting for chocolate!
This is ridiculous, he thought roughly running a hand through his pulled back hair. There was no way he would find any damn chocolate on this damn island.
With a sigh of defeat, Sayid plopped down on to a log. It was a doomed mission to begin with. Shannon would be disappointed in him, but at this very moment he didn't really care. He was tired and frustrated. He wanted nothing more than to go back to his shelter and sleep with the woman he loved in his arms. That of course was something he could not do. Shannon was hormonal and he would surely feel her wrath if he returned with no chocolate.
He let out a defeated sigh. This wasn't how he wanted to spend his day.
"Hey, Sayid." A voice interrupted his depression.
Sayid turned to see Hurley walking over to him. "Hello, Hurley."
"Wow, man, you look totally bummed." The big man said sitting down next to the Arab on the log.
Sayid was now so used to Hurley's California slang that he understood what he was saying. "I find myself in quite the predicament, my friend." He replied heavily.
"Well, what is it, man? Maybe I can help you out." Hurley suggested and Sayid snorted lightly.
"I doubt that you can." He mumbled somewhat grumpily.
"Are you and Shan having problems?" Hurley asked curiously.
Sayid was not the only one who had to endure Shannon's hormones; everyone on the island had to. She honestly didn't mean to be annoying but most survivors tried avoiding her, even he on occasion tried to. In fact, this whole mission was most likely an excuse to get away from her.
"Well, she has an extreme craving for chocolate right now and I cannot do anything to help her." He allowed defeat to be heard in his voice.
Hurley's face suddenly brightened. "I have chocolate."
"You—what?" Sayid asked staring at Hurley with big eyes. If this was some sort of joke he was going to kill the big man.
"Yeah, there were some in the hatch and I saved a few of them. Do you want them?" Hurley asked unable to contain his smile; he was always glad to help out.
Sayid shot him a look. Of course he wanted them! "Yes, I would like to have them."

Sayid ran to his and Shannon's shelter as fast as he could. He couldn't believe that his impossible mission was actually a success, with the help of Hurley of course.
He caught Shannon walking, or rather waddling out of their tent. Now that she was eight months pregnant she was huge, and just to think that she had another month of growing.
"Shannon." He spoke her name as he stopped running once he was front of her.
"Sayid, where did you just run from?" Shannon asked looking at her flustered lover in shock.
"I was… that doesn't matter." He stated out of breath. "I have something for you." He then held out three bars of chocolate to her.
Shannon's eyes grew wide. "Is that chocolate?" She asked surprised as she took the bars of sweetness from him. He nodded in response. "Where did you find them?"
"There had been some left in the hatch." Sayid replied waiting for her response. He was shocked when he saw tears shine her eyes. What did he do wrong this time! "What is wrong?" He asked almost hesitantly.
"Nothing. It's just… It's just you're so wonderful." And with that Shannon grabbed Sayid's face and crushed her lips against his.
She took him by surprise, but soon enough he was returning the kiss.
Sayid decided that Hurley was officially his hero.
Hurley is Superman. Please review.
