Welcome to Gaia! ::

((ttyl Kiyo! Let me know when you're online!))

Sun knew it wouldn't be easy. She hadn't expected it any other way. She turned to Jack, now sitting beside her, and placed a hand lightly on his arm.

"I just want to be sure that you do not get so invloved with how everyone else is coping that you forget about your own spirit. You cannot neglect your own wellbeing in sacrifice for others, Jack," Sun reasoned.

She looked at him appraisingly and noticed that since they had first found themselves stuck on the island, Jack had changed. The changes were subtle, but Sun's trained eye caught the lines around Jack's eyes, the glint of worry permanently embedded in his features. She wished Jack would let her take some of the pain away, but he was far too proud for that.

Sayid felt like his world had come crashing down around him, though not for jealously or anger, for fear. Shannon, though strong headed, was barely capeable of taking care of herself on the island. She had lost a considerable amount of weight since they'd crashed, more weight than others. The thought of her trying to carry the weight of another, albeit little, person around and trying to nourish them as well as herself made Sayid wonder if she's even make it through the first few months.....if they were there that long.

His worry must have come through on his face, because Shannon's expression changed from soft, almost questioning, to angry.

"You're mad. I knew you'd be mad." She muttered angrily, pushing herself a few inches aay from him and pulling her legs up to her chest.

"No, no of course I am not mad." Sayid began backtracking in his mind, trying to find words of support, encouragement, But all he culd think about was Shannon, and the baby, wasting away slowly while they waited to be rescued. "I'm concerned for your health. There are very little resources on the island that will give a pregnant woman the nourishment and supliments that you need." He realised, at the slighlty wide-eyed expression on Shannon's face, that this was not something she had considered. Damn. "But I am sure, if we go to Sun and Jack, they will have many of the things you require." After a pause, he scooted closer to Shannon, and wrapped two reassuring arms around her fragile form. "I'm happy for you Shannon.....truly."

"Really?" Shannon pillowed her face against his shoulder and breathed in the salt of his skin.

"Truly." He answered softly. She let a breath of relief out and rested all of her weight against him. He hadn't anticipated it and for a moment the pair shifted sideways but he quickly braced his arms against the sand. Still, she did not look up. She was afraid to look into his eyes and see that maybe he was only telling her what she wanted to hear.

"You..." She said finally. " You won't leave me will you?"

{Yeh..Im just waiting for meri whee }

Finnished with her fish she gets up. With little else to do she takes a stroll along the beach.

Jack rubbed his head, he knew Sun was right, but inside he knew he was unable to let things go. That was just the kind of man he was.
"Shall we continue on?"
Jack stood up and offered Sun his hand.

((Aww thats not good!))
Jack looked up at the sky and furrowed his brow.
"I think we need to get the people off the beach and into the caves, what do you think?"
Jack looked back down the path towards the beach.
