Sophie saw Bens look as Mel ran across the courtyard with Ethan.
"Ben...."she looked to him. Ben still watching mel.."Ben!" he snapped out from watching and looked at Sophie. "Can you stand?" she asked.
"I don't know."
"We have to get out of here now!" she said. Pulling Ben up. "C'mon you can do this!" she yelled. Ben felt so weak collasping. Sophie pulled him and let him lean on her, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. she helped carry him some where safe.

Zoe noticed Sophie sturggling with Ben, and turned to Hurley.
"Can you manage?" She asked, nodding towards Sophie's direction. "I think I should help Sophie."
"Yeah, I'm cool." Hurely replied. Zoe patted him reassuringly on the shoulder and smiled before running over to help Sophie, who seemed to be struggling carrying badly wounded Ben.
"Hey, do you want some help?" she offered as she approached them.

"Get inside and find our son!" Ethan told her.
"His name is William." Mel managed.
Ethan squeezed her hand, "Go find William. We need to get out of here."
Mel returned within minuted with William in her arms and Sun following her.
"Not far off there is a hatch. We need to get to it." Ethan said.
Mel saw Sophie and Zoe with Ben and had an idea.
"Hurley? Can you go quickly and get Luke? We can't leave him here."
As Hurley ran off Mel handed William to Ethan and ran over to Sophie and Zoe.
Ben picked up his head and recognized her, "Get her away from me." he struggled out.
Mel looked at him strangely before she spoke, "Ethan says there is a hatch close by where we will be safe for now. You should bring Ben, there might be medical supplies and Ethan can take a look at his shoulder. Zoe, Hurley went to get Luke."
As Sophie looked at Mel she could tell she didn't like the situation and didn't want to be anywhere around her but finally she agreed, "Fine. Let's go."
"Good." Mel said as she went back to Ethan and took William, "Help Sophie with Ben will you?" she asked him.
"Of course." he said. "Hey Mel?" he called as he walked away.
"Yeah?"
"Keep your gun ready."

Sophie, Mel, Ben and Ethan set off towards the hatch. Zoe had gone to help Hurley bring Luke with them, catching up with everyone shortly, readily armed for when they needed to shoot the dharma people.
"Which station are we going to?" Zoe asked as they ran through the jungle.
"You'll see." Ethan replied briefly. Zoe nodded as everyone continued to sprint through the jungle, Mel carrying William, Hurley carrying Luke, Zoe and Sophie hauling Ben.
Eight dharma people appeared suddenly in front of them. Everyone capable of doing so didn't hesitate to aim their guns and shoot, killing all eight of them almost at once.
"It better be not much further." Zoe muttered under her breath

"Thank God!" Mel exclaimed when Ethan finally stopped and uncovered a door leading underground. He pulled at the handle and the door swung open.
"Everyone inside, quickly!" he said.
Mel was the first one to enter the dark hatch. It looked much like the medical hatch, The Staff, with doors on each side of the hallway. She opened one of the and found a common room with couches.
"In here." she called as she motioned for the others. She saw a first aid kit hanging on the wall and grabbed it. "Set Ben down over here." she told Sophie and Zoe.
They set Ben on the couch as Ethan came in. He tore off most of his Dharma clothes until he was just in a t-shirt and jeans. Then he bent down to examine Ben.
"Mel, hand me the scissors will you? I want to get this shirt off of him so I can see the wound better."
Mel pulled the small scissors from the kit and handed them to Ethan. As Ethan removed his shirt, Ben began to stir.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Mel standing over him with William. He didn't move but his eyes became cold. "Get out." he ordered her.
"Ben, I don't understand." Mel said.
"Get her out of here, now." he said loudly to anyone who would listen.
Mel was truly confused as to why Ben was suddenly being so hard towards her.
"I think you better leave." Sophie said as she came up to Mel. Mel found it hard to ignore the attitude in her voice. "It's obvious Ben doesn't want you anywhere near him."
Mel rested her hand on Ethan's shoulder for support. She found it comforting when he placed his own hand on top of hers briefly before getting back to work.
"I see." Mel said. "You're finally getting your wish Sophie. Hold on to it while you can. You know how fickle Ben is."
"I'm sure you could tell us all about how Ben is, Mel. Better yet, why don't you tell Ethan?" Sophie countered.
"My, my you can be a horror can't you?" Mel smirked. She noticed Ethan's head turn towards her for a moment as if he was wondering what Sophie was talking about.
"I'll be the one to take care of Ben. Bye now." Sophie waved.
Mel shook her head as she left the room. What kind of mess had Ben gotten her into now?

Zoe listened to the conversation subtly while she went to Luke's side as Hurley rested him in a arm chair. She had been completly oblivious to Sophie and Mel's rivalry before as she had never been around whenever they had fought. She sat beside Luke, picking up his hand and kissed it. She looked up and saw Mel leave the room. Her eyes darted from Ethan, Sophie and Ben to the door Mel had just vacated. Zoe got up and walked out the door to see Mel.
"Are you okay?" Zoe asked concernly. "What was all that about?"

"Let's just say that Ben and I have a history." Mel answered Zoe.
"I see." Zoe said slowly.
"Ben and Sophihe have a history as well." Mel said as she began walking down the hall and opening doors to see what was inside them. "Unfortunately Ben has seen to it that our histories coincide, even overlap."
"Oh no."
"Exactley. That's not to say Ben's the only one at fault. I convinced myself that he needed, or wanted, me more than her. This was all after we thought Ethan had died of course. I never would have considered anything if I had known he was alive. When we found out Sophie was pregnant, I gave Ben up. I told him to go be with her. I may have pushed him away but I wasn't able to stop my feelings for him. There's just something about him that pulls you in and won't let go. He's been going back and forth between me and Sophie for months."
"That's horrible of him." Zoe stated. "Why do you keep taking him back?"
"I wish I knew the answer to that. I can only hope that Ethan will understand and still want to be with me. William needs his true father."
"Do you have to tell him?"
"If I don't I can be sure Sophie will find a way of telling him. She'd love that. Gods, I hope he can forgive me." Mel said rocking William to sleep.
"Forgive you for what?" Ethan asked stepping into the hall across from Mel and Zoe.

Oh crap. Zoe thought to herself as Ethan came into the hallway. She glared angrily at Ethan.
"Who says we were talking about you?" She asked, folding her arms, raising an eyebrow at him. Ethan glared back, with a confused expression.
"I heard my name mentioned as I was stepping out into the hall." Ethan replied cooly.
"That's the point, we were talking about you. Not to you. Has anyone every told you it's rude to eavsdrop?" Zoe replied hotly, managing to start changing the conversation. "I must be right. What kind of father abandons their child? Twice?" She added scathingly. She gave Mel a sideways glance.
"You are lucky Mel has forgiven you so easily for pretending to be dead. Pity it wasn't a reality." Zoe continued.
"I - I had my reasons." Ethan replied, bowing his head, as he felt guilty and ashamed.
"Like you had your reasons for abandoning my mother?" Zoe accused. Ethan looked up.
"What?" He replied, really confused now, he obviously still didn't know Zoe was her daughter.

'Oh hell', Mel thought as she listened to Zoe and Ethan.
"Wait." she cut in. "Ethan, is Ben awake?"
"Yes, but I would like to know what Zoe is talking about."
"You're going to have to wait a few minutes." Mel said as she walked towards the common room.
"Why?" Ethan and Zoe asked in unison.
"Because we are going to get the whole story. The truth about everything that has happened to us. And we are going to get it from Ben."

Zoe followed Ethan and Mel back into the medical room.
"Do we really have to? I mean, is he really in a fit state after being shot?" Zoe asked.
"He's fine." Mel and Ethan replied in unison. Zoe sighed as they entered the room. Ben was on the sofa, awake now. They all went by Ben's side.
"You have some explaining to do for these two." She said to Ben, indicating towards Zoe and Ethan.
Ben squinted at them.
"What?" He asked.
"You know - what you had managed to get to tell Zoe, but not Ethan when we all thought he was killed." Mel replied. Ben looked from her to Zoe and Ethan.
"Ah that." Ben replied calmly.
"What is Mel talking about Ben?" Ethan asked with raised eyebrows. Ben looked at Zoe, staring at her with those lost blue eyes.
"Ethan, when we were recruiting, one of them, as you know, was Zoe. You found it odd why, as you both had an instant disliking to one another, which is fairly strange, but obviously Jacob understood it more then I did. Maybe it because you are so very much a like." Ben began to explain. His eyes darted from Zoe to Ethan. "You questioned why Zoe was so important. Well, the truth is - well, one of the reasons among many - Zoe is your daughter Ethan."

Ethan was quiet for a moment and everyone looked to see how he would react. Suddenly he stood, knocking his chair over in the process.
"You sent me away when you knew I had a daughter here? Not to mention Mel being pregnant?" he yelled at Ben.
Ben looked up at Ethan calmly, "You were needed."
Mel handed William to Zoe and walked up to Ben, "Wait, you were sent away?" she asked Ethan before turning to Ben. "You knew Ethan was alive? You knew he was alive yet you guilted me into a relationship with you?"
"You two had a relationship?" Ethan asked as he took a few steps backward.
"Have is more like it." Sophie chimed in.
"That is enough Sophie." Ben warned.
"No!" Ethan said. "I want to know what the hell is going on. I want answers and I want them now." he demanded as he looked from Ben to Mel.

"I'm sure we would all like answers Ethan." Zoe snapped, holding William carefully. "You're not completly innocent in this Ethan, so I think you are hardly in a position to be barking out orders."

"I discovered an opportunity for Ethan to infiltrate Dharma soon after you arrived Mel." Ben explained. "When I heard that Charlie wanted to kill Ethan it was the perfect cover. So Everyone believed that Ethan was dead, when in fact he left the island to begin his mission."
"You could have just told me you sent him on a mission Ben. Why did you make me believe he was dead. I nearly lost William when I found out."
"What?" Ethan said. "Ben, you were supposed to keep me up to date with what was going on with Mel. You told me she was fine."
Mel looked at Ben who met her eyes and nodded, "I understand now. You wanted me to think that Ethan was dead so you could start a relationship with me. You played on my weakness of Ethan being gone and William not having a father."
"What kind of relationship was this?" Ethan wondered.
"The personal kind." Sophie said from her spot on one of the couches. "As personal as you can get." she smirked.
"Sophie if you can't keep your mouth shut then you should leave." Ben said forcefully.
Sophie's eyes widened in anger, but she folded her arms and stayed put.
"You slept with him?" Ethan asked Mel in disbelief.
Mel could feel her face flush, "Ethan it's not like it sounds. It all started as a show. Ben needed to be with someone who would lead the others into thinking he was a stronger leader. He picked me. Then things just kind of developed from there."
"She's forgetting to mention that the entire time they have been together she's been forcing Ben to cheat on me." Sophie chimed, unable to stop herself.
Both Ben and Mel glared at her, "I never had to force Ben to do anything." Mel seethed.
"Ethan, it was all very innocent on Mel's part, believe me. She didn't want to go along with my plan, in fact in the beginning she quite loathed me."
"But it wasn't innocent on your part Ben was it?" Ethan said moving closer to Ben. "You knew good and well that I was still alive yet you pursued Mel."
"I did what I thought necessary." Ben shrugged.
"I can't believe this, any of this! I come home after risking my life to find out I have a daughter who is grown up and obviously hates me and that the woman who I thought was going to be my wife is an adultress. I'm done." Ethan raged as he stormed out of the room.
Mel followed him, "You wait a minute. Zoe was right, you haven't been a saint Ethan! What about Claire?" Mel noted with satisfaction that Ethan froze. "Did you think I had forgotten about her? How you turned your back on me and our child for some stranger. You abandoned me when I needed you think most and because of your sick obsession you nearly got yourself killed which started this whole mess in the first place!"
"I'm not going to stand here and argue with you. Why don't you go back to your boyfriend and cry to him!" Ethan yelled as he turned and stormed away.
Mel looked at the ground as a new feeling of helplessness took over her. Would she never be at peace on this forsaken island?
