((ah, yes, the infinite knowledge of the internet xd I'm just a major bio nerd with medicine running in the family. I'm adding you to my friendlist, if you don't mind! 3nodding ))
Jack smiled at Shannon reassuringly, wishing that she didn't have reason to cry. He wished he could fix the whole damned situation with one swipe of his hand, but it just wasn't possible. Jack looked around for a moment before replying.
"Boone's doing better, Locke's not going to talk anytime soon and no one seems to be in urgent need of our assistance. Why don't we do it now? I know it'll be a little awkward for you, but I promise to make it quick and painless. We can go around behind the curtain, there's a spare airplane seat there," Jack suggested.
He pointed in the direction of the back of the cave. It was broad daylight, so Jack wouldn't have to worry about sufficient lighting and hopefully in broad daylight Shannon would feel less vulnerable. He led her around to the other side of the cordoned off area and made sure that no one would disturb them. Even if someone walked in, there would be no cause for alarm, Shannon wouldn't be in any sort of compromising positon, but Jack was sure that Shannon wasn't quite ready to share her predicament with anyone yet. It was better for her this way. Jack motioned to the reclined airplane seat and kneeled down beside it, waiting for Shannon to comply.

Shannon sat down a bit reluctantly. She sighed heavily and waited. She wanted to just get everything over with. She oushed her hair behind her ears and another small sigh escaped her cherry colored lips. She knew Jack would ask who the father was, and that was where she'd lie.

Boone rolled on his side and opened his eyes. He rubbed them abit and looked at the wall. He wished he could just stand up and help others, or just walk around. But that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.

((o.O perfect idea! I was trying to think of more personal dialogue. You're brilliant!))
Jack looked at Shannon as she tried to compose herself. He decided it was probably a good idea that she was sitting down for the next question he would ask.
"Alright, Shannon. Before I start I want to ask you a question. I know this is none of my business, but who is the father?" Jack inquired.
He saw Shannon's breath catch in her throat as soon as the words left his lips.

It was like an angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other. Tell him Shannon, tell him it's Boone! You'll feel oh so much better! But then the crafty devil piped up. Now Shannon, what will he say? He'd surely tell all the others! What a mess! Shannon stammered a few moments, hoping that her lie was believable.
"Brian..His name was Brian. My boyfriend in Austrailia." Shannon nodded and coughed out of nervousness.

Jack could see right through the lie but decided that Shannon would tell him the truth in her own time. He respected her privacy. After all, Shannon was a grown woman perfectly capable of making her own decisions. Jack shifted so that he was kneeling in front of Shannon and he looked up at her.
"Just relax, Shannon. It'll be like pulling off a bandaid, quick, only much less painful," Jack stated.
His pathetic attempt at humor got a small smile out of Shannon. Jack gently grasped Shannon's wrist and felt her pulse. It was racing, which was understandable considering her situation and discomfort. Jack continued to hold her wrist while he counted her respiration rate. After a few moments he desisted and released Shannon's wrist.
"Well, your pulse is nice and strong, as well as fast. Your breathing is a little fast, too. I understand that you are nervous, but you need to try to relax. The stress could potentially cause another asthma attack and that won't be good for you or the baby," Jack said soothingly.
He looked at Shannon as she tried to visibly compose herself.
"Now, let's have you lay back so I can examine your abdomen," Jack said lightly.
He smiled at her encouragingly, waiting for a response, be it verbal or physical.

Shannon sighed uncomfortably and layed back on the hard plane seat. She ran her hand across her stomach. Well goodbye to that..She rolled her eyes to herself and sighing again. "I havent had an asthma attack in over a month.." She explained for no reason at all. She just didnt like the awkward silence.

Boone closed his eyes again and turned on his back. He sighed loudly as he tried to get some sleep. If he was going to get better, he needed to get some rest.

Jack sighed silently and continued about with his professionalism.
"Yes, but the pregnancy is putting extra stress on your body and making you more susceptible to triggers. You'll have to be very careful. I still have some of the eucalyptus poultice Sun made for you, so if you're ever having trouble breathing come and find me," Jack said softly. "Now just relax, I'll finish quickly and you'll be free to go."
Jack saw Shannon shut her eyes and place her arms firmly down by her sides. She nervously fiddled with her skirt at her sides. Jack rubbed his hands together a little bit to warm them before lightly moving her shirt out of the way so he could feel her abdomen. Shannon winced occasionally as he worked and Jack wished he didn't have to make it so uncomfortable. When he finished, Jack pulled Shannon's shirt back down and leaned over her as he spoke.
"Your lower abdomen is becoming rigid. That just means that your uterine lining is becoming thicker in preparation for carrying the growing fetus. Everything looks just fine, you have nothing to worry about for now. Do you have any questions?" Jack asked.
He watched Shannon's eyes slowly flutter open and her cheeks redden from embarrassment. Again, he wished it was otherwise.
EDIT: ((right, it's 7am right now. I'm just heading out to school. I don't have a spare today so I won't be back online until about 4pm ish. We can continue this scenario then, LostShannon1190!))

Charlie was still standing there with Locke, watching him carefully, not letting him go anywhere.
"Why won't you help us?" He asked LOcke, not firmly, but softly.
Locke sighed. "The island is trying to show us something . . .but . . .Boone was in the plane . . .he wouldn't get out . . .it fell and he fell with it."
Charlie frowned. "What about the radio I found?" He asked.
Locke shrugged. "I guess thats the reason why Boone wouldn't get out of the plane. Why don't you go ask him?"
Charlie took a deep breath and walke dover to Boone. He looked terrible. "Boone . . .The radio in that plane you found . . .did you speak to someone?"
(Sorry i wasn't on sooner . . .My life is really busy at the moment.)

((I have returned!))
Shannon sighed a little from embarrasment and she averted the gaze of her brown eyes away from Jack. She rubbed her head. "Nope, no questions." Shannon tried to push a smile onto her lips but it didnt work to well. It just came out as a saddened grimace. She couldnt manage this right now. Between what had happened with Boone and finding out that she was pregnant, Shannon felt like crawlong into the cave for a few days and just crying.
