The next morning, Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sawyer take off with Michael. I told Sayid that I'd handle Desmond. I see him pulling the dingy out of the water, a pack full of what I assume is more booze sitting inside.

I run up and help him pull the dingy out of the water. "I need your sailboat," I say to him.

"I wouldn't waste your time. There's nothing out there, sister."

"I'm not trying to leave the Island. I need to get to the North shore of it, and quickly."

"Going to see the hostiles, are you?"

"The who? What are you talking about?"

"You know what, ignorance is bliss. The boat's all yours, sister, for all the good it'll do you."

I stand up straight, my next question the harder of the two. "I don't know how to sail," I say. "Maybe you could—,"

"Then I suggest you find someone who does," he says, cutting me off.

Damn it.

"What did he say?"

"He won't do it," I tell Sayid. "And frankly, I don't think we want him to. He's plastered. Probably has been for days."

"Is there anyone else in the group who knows how to sail?"

"I can only think of one," I say. "But I don't' want to make him do it again."

"You mean Jin."

I nod my head yes. "But Sun won't allow it. She won't want him to leave her again, and I can't ask her to go through with that, not while she's pregnant."

"Then I will," Sayid says.

"Sun says she will get him to agree," Sayid informs me. "We should get ready."

We start loading the dingy. "Hand me your gun," Sayid says.

"Why?" I ask, reaching around for it and pulling it out of my pants.

"I do not want to alarm Sun. I want her to believe this is safe."

"Sayid, you can't deceive her like that!" I say, pulling my gun back. "It's not right! She's pregnant and—,"

"I'm sorry, Tia, but what do you know about this particular subject?"

"I had a pregnancy scare a few days ago," I tell him. "So, yeah, I know a lot about wanting your guy there when he can't be."

Sayid looks at me, shocked. "I did not know."

"I'm aware. I didn't tell a lot of people. Just Kate, Claire, and Jack."

"And you're not…"

"No, I'm not." I confirm for him.

He nods his head. "All the same. She is pregnant, and I don't want to alarm her."

I see her and Jin walking down the shore of the beach, both wearing packs. I can tell she means to come along. Good for her. "Fair enough," I say, handing Sayid my glock. He hides it with his own, under the tarp.

Sayid turns around and notices her pack. "I'm sorry if what I said was confusing, but I asked Jin to come."

"You need someone to translate," she says. "And you need at least two people who know how to sail."

"Desmond managed by himself."

"And look where he ended up," she points out. Oh, I love Sun so much.

Sayid looks at Jin, who shrugs his shoulders. I smile and remove my own pack, full of water and a change of clothes, and place it in the dingy. "Let's get going," I say, climbing into the dingy. Sun crawls in and Sayid and Jin push us into the water, then jump in themselves, heading out to the sailboat in the distance.
