Chapter Two: Search for supply
Ana Lucia, Hope and Kate have just finish going through all the bags and are taking the medicine they have found over to Jack, who has been working on the U.S. Marshal again, Jack stops working on the marshal and looks up at Kate, Hope and Ana Lucia. Jack then takes the medicines from the three ladies. Ana Lucia looks over at Hope and she sees that Hope is holding her back.
"Hope is everything ok?"
"Yeah Ana, Lucia I am fine and I am not in labor and do not start babying me!
"I was just check on you, because you are carrying my twin brother baby!"
"Are you sure you are fine Hope seen that it is very close to your due date?"
"I am fine Jack!"
"I think I should give you a check up and make sure everything is all right with you and the baby."
"Ok, Jack."
"Ana Lucia will you go and check on Claire and see if she has any more contractions?"
"Sure Jack."
" Kate will you go gather up wood to start a signal fire?"
"Sure, Jack."
Kate walks towards the jungle and starts to gather up branches from the trees in the jungle that has fallen to the ground. At the sometime Ana Lucia walks away from her sisters' in-law and towards Rose and Claire. Jack picks up his backpack, which was his carry on bag, that he find on his way over to the U.S. Marshal. Hope and Jack then walk over to a quiet area, which has a large log laying on the ground. Jack help Hope set down onto the log and kneels down in front of her. Jack then takes his stethoscope out of his backpack and he puts his stethoscope into his ears. Jack then places the stethoscope on Hope stomach and finds the baby heart beat right away.
"The baby has a strong heart beat, do you know if you are having a boy or a girl baby?"
"Sigh, I am having a baby girl!"
"Have you had any issues during the pregnancy I should know about?"
"I was going to have quadruplets, but when I was eight weeks along I was shoot five times in my Pelvis and lost three of the babies."
"Have there been any other problems, during the pregnancy that I need to know about?"
"No."
"Ok, have you been having any contractions at all since the airplane crush?"
"No."
"That good, was your husband on the plane too or was he going to pick you up at the LA airport?"
" No, he was not on the plane and he was not going to be picking me up at the airport, Ana Lucia mother Teresa Cortez was meeting Ana Lucia and me and the airport, but my car in the long term parking lot, so I was going to drive my self home."
"Way is your husband not picking you up from the airport?"
Ana Lucia has check in with Claire and is now walking back over to Jack and Hope right as Jack asks Hope way her husband was not picking her up form the airport. Jack stands up when Ana Lucia walks over to him and Jack and Ana Lucia can see Hope is trying not to start crying.
"Because Hope husbands and my twin brother Jose Cortez's was killed in line of duty, the same day that I also got shoots in the abdomen four times and Hope gets shot five time in Pelvis and lost three of the four babies she was carrying."
"I am sorry Hope and Ana Lucia, how did the two of you survive and not Jose?"
"Because in my case the bullet hit three of the four fetuses that I was carrying, which caused me to miscarried three of the quadruplets.
" And I survive because I was also pregnant and the fetus got hit, I lost the baby, but survived. My brother and Hope's husband was shot in the heart five times by the same guy that shoot us, he was shoot first. Then Hope was shot by same guy, who name is Jason McCormack. As McCormack shoot my brother inside of the house, his partner had just finish making the call on the police car radio, which was parked in front of crime lab suv that Hope drive to the crime scene, my partner Mike Walton and I get the call over radio about a burglary. So we head over to the house to take over for my brother and his partner who shift was all ready over. When we get to the house, everything seems too quite and we did not see our fellow offices or Hope. Neither I nor Mike could hear then, so I went into the house first with my gun drew and Mike went around to the back of the house with his gun drew. Once inside I sews my brother laying on the entryway floor blooding from his chest and he was not moving, I check to see if he was breathing and he was not at the sometime Mike reach me and start CPR on my brother I went and find Hope laying on the living room floor, I check to see if she was breathing and she was, I was about to call for an ambulance when Jason McCormack walks into the living room I drew my gun and he tell me I was making a mistake that he was a student and say he was going to show me his ID, so I lower my gun and he take a gun out of the back of his pant and then shoot me four times in my abdomen, I am not sure what happens after that?"
"I know what happened next, I was just starting to come to when Ana Lucia's got shot. Jason runs out of the house and at the sometime my husband partner walking into the living room holding his head and as he checked on Ana Lucia he told me Jason hit him over the head right after he made the call for back up, Jason then take off running my husband partner went after him, but get dizzy and pass out. He say that when he came to he was in the alley way and that Jason was gone. My husband partner then told me that Mike had call the EMT's."
"That horrible did the police catch this Jason McCormack, Ana Luica?"
"No."
"I am so sorry to hear that Ana Lucia and Hope."
"So are we!"
"Has Claire had any more contractions, Ana Lucia?"
"No, the contractions have stops."
"That good."
"Hope I think the two of us should go and take a look around and see if we can find Walt dog and look for any Luggage that survived the crush and maybe we can found that obgyn and birthing Equipment that we brought onto the plane in cause you or Claire went into labor or get short of breath doing the flight."
"Sure Ana Lucia, maybe we will found the portable Logiqbook (ultrasound)!"
"Yeah, maybe we will find your carrying on bag Hope and other medical supplies that Jack will be able to use."
"That a great Idea and can you keep an eye out for a fresh water supply too Ana Lucia?"
"Sure."
Hope's stand up and then both Ana Lucia and Hope's walks away from Jack and they look at everyone that survived the crush as the two of them are walking towards the jungle. Ana Lucia and Hope see Hurley passes out food trays from the plane to everyone. They also see Walt looking around the beach for his dog. When they have walked into the jungle Ana Lucia and Hope stop walking and see Hope's her backpack that she was use as a carrying bag laying by Anna Lucia feet. Hope kneels down and unzips her backpack. She sees that no one has taken anything out of it, so she grabs her spare Sig 9mm handgun out of the backpack and then pull an empty magazine out of the bag and loads the handgun. Hope puts the magazine into the gun and hands it to her sister- in law.
"Hope's don't you need this gun yourself?"
"It is my spare gun."
Hope lift up her shirt to show Anna Lucia that she was wearing her gun belt and that has the Sig that Ana Lucia brother and her husband giver her as a gift for they first wedding anniversary. She puts her shirt down and then rezips the backpack. She then puts the backpack on her back and the two of them start walking. Ana Lucia puts the gun into the back of her jean and pulls her black tank top over the handgun, as they are walking and looking for medical supplies and luggage. After walking for a few more minutes they find a wheelchair.
"This would help us move anything we find back to the beach."
"Yeah it will if we find anything Ana!"
Ana Lucia pushes the wheelchair and they keep walking and looking for anything they could find. A minute later Hope foot hits a large bag. Anna Lucia and Hope look down to see the bag that Hope feet hit along with two other bags.

"That will help Jack out, Ana Lucia!"

"Yeah it will, but lets hope that rescue comes by then and Jack does not have to remove that piece of plane."
Ana Lucia zips the surgical kit up and set it on top of the other two kits. Hope starts walking again and Ana Lucia start pushes the wheelchair again. Then out of nowhere a yellow lab comes running out of the trees. Hope grabs the dog collar and put the ropes she brought with her around the collar.
