Luke had gone silent after his little sister had been murdered. He didn't know how to deal with it. The shock had hit him hard, before he had even been brought to the island, he had been told Zoe and his mother had died when he was little - that was what his adoptive parents had told him anyway.
Luke was in a kind of trance when Hurley led him around the jungle and back to the village, half listening to what was being said. Hurley sat him down on one of the benches.
"Luke, dude, I know we have already just met, and we are far from knowing each other as well. But we are getting those bastards back. I promise, I will find the individual who shot her and make him pay. Okay? I promise." Hurley said to him. Luke half nodded, his throat dry and scratchy, the whole of his body felt numb.

Mel and Ethan pulled open the doors to the underground hatch that Juliet and the children were in.
"I can't wait to get back to the village to get some rest. I feel like I haven't slept in days." Mel told Ethan as they walked through the empty hallway.
"Baby, you haven't slept in days." Ethan laughed.
"You're right. More reason to get William and get out of here."
"Jules?" Ethan called as he pushed open the door to the make shift nursery.
Ethan held his arm out and stopped Mel from entering the room.
She looked up as he did.
"You've got to be kidding me." Mel cried as she saw a man in Dharma uniform holding a gun to Juliet's head.

Ben was on his side sleeping as he rolled over to hold Sophie. He woke up finding she wasn't there. Rubbing his eyes sitting up on the bed. streching his arms. he got up to find where she was.
Hearing the toilet flush Sophie came out and he smiled at her.
"Wondered where you were?" he said as he went to kiss her. But Sophie moved away.
"I wouldn't i've just been throwing up." she said heading to the kitchen.
"Whats wrong are you coming down with something?" he asked starting to feel her forehead for her temperature.
"I dunno i felt sick all day. Its prob one of those 24 hour things. I'll be fine." as she sipped some water she just poured.
"Let me make you something to eat. We haven't eaten propley for days."
"No Ben everything just wants to make me sick." she sighed. "Thanks anyways." she said heading back to the bedroom. She grabbed a towel and shouted to ben she was going in the shower.
Ben poured himself some coffee. Sitting down at the kitchen table thinking what could be wrong with her. Then it hit him. She wasn't ill. He sat there smiling before saying to himself.
"She's pregnant."

"Juliet, what the hell?" Mel asked from the doorway. "I'm sorry Mel. He made me say those things to Ben. He wanted to lure you here." she answered. "Ethan, I swear to god it's like they are freaking clones!" "Calm down Mel. We don't want to set Christian off." Ethan said as he stepped into the room. "Wait, you know this guy?" Mel said as she looked at the man who had been silent so far. He looked oddly familiar. "That's right." Ethan said. "Hello Christian." "Ethan." the man said stiffly. "What the hell is going on?" Mel wondered. "I will tell you what is going on baby. Christian is not really Dharma. It's an act, much like what I used to get to the island. Christian is a doctor." "I'm not following Ethan." "Christian is here to take William." Ethan explained. "Take him where?" Mel asked as an uneasy feeling came over her. "He's going to take him off of the island, where he will be safe." Ethan turned to look at her. "And why would we want him to do that?" "Because Mel, if he stays here his father might lead him to harm, even if he doesn't mean too." Mel stepped closer to the crib William was sleeping in. "What reason would you have to hurt William, Ethan? Why are you saying these things?" Ethan moved closer to Mel, "I'm telling you this because I want to protect William just like you do. And when I say his father might harm him I'm not talking about me." Mel felt the color drain from her face and was unable to speak. "Mel, I'm not the father of your child. Ben is William's father." Note: I'm not sure where I'm going with this, bear with me!  |

Sophie had come out the shower. She dried herself off and then changed into somefresh clothes. Coming out the bathroom towel drying her hair. Ben stood in the hallway waiting. He went over to handing her a pregnancy test.
"I want you to take this test. I know your pregnant."
"What? Ben thats impossible you know i can't have children."
"But you have symptoms Sophie."
"Ben we only had sex the other day. I wouldn't be having symptoms this quickly."
"Anything is possible on this island Sophie. Just take the test and then we will know for sure. Please?" He asked. Sophie looked down at it then back to Ben.
"I'm scared...."
"Of?"
"Incase im dissapointed."
"You won't" he smiled and kissed her on the cheek.
Sophie went in the bathroom again as Ben waited outside.
.............
Ben was pacing up and down the hall it seemed like forever since Sophie shut the door on to take the test.
"Sophie are you okay?" he asked putting his ear against the door. Sophie unlocked it and opened the door. Ben could see she had been crying. Tears still rolling down her cheeks. "Oh Sophie....I'm so sorry. I really thought this was it..." Ben started to speak. Sophie wiped her tears and started to smile she laughed as she said.
"I'm pregnant."
Ben choked up and then held her kissing her head. As she cried happly into his chest.
"This is it now! Are new start." Ben said as Sophie looked up to him. Ben wiped her happy tear away with his thumb.
"But what about Jacob?"

"What are you talking about?" Mel whispered. "There is no way Ben can be William's father. I was pregnant before I came to the island."
"Yes you were. Because I made you that way." Ethan said.
"Explain yourself right now."
"Mel, Ben has had this planned for years. Out of every woman possible, he picked you."
"I don't understand." Mel said as she fell into the nearest chair.
"Ben wanted, needed, a child. He knew it was impossible to concieve on the island so he turned to the mainland. He couldn't leave the island so he sent me. You were my mission Mel."
"So you're telling me that Ben sent you to find me, get me pregnant with his child then bring me here?"
"Yes." Ethan nodded.
"And you we're okay with this? You were fine with lying to me, pretending to love me. Letting me believe that this was our baby?"
"At the beginning it was just a mission. I've been sent on hundreds, just not one quite like this. So I went and I injected you with Ben's sperm and you became pregnant as planned. I was halfway through with my mission, only it was no longer a mission to me. I had fallen in love with you."
"I remember the day you told me." Mel said faintly.
"That was the day I decided that Ben's plan was wrong. I didn't like how he was using you without you even knowing it."
"So why didn't you tell me? I could have run."
"There is nowhere you could have gone that he wouldn't have found you. You were carrying his child, he wasn't going to let you get away. I knew you would be in danger if you didn't get on that sub so I lied to you a little longer. I got you to this island where I thought you would be safe."
"But Ben had changed his mind." Mel said as she started to understand.
"In a way, yes. I was furious with him when he told me he was developing feelings for Sophie. I told him he had to forget about her and focus on you since he had gone through so much trouble to get you here."
"No wonder we didn't get along when I first came here. Ben was already tired of me."
Ethan looked at her sadly, "I made such a big deal about it that Ben sent me away. Came up with this new mission to infiltrate Dharma. I didn't want to leave you Mel but he didn't give me much choice. When I got back I was truly shocked to learn that you and Ben had developed a real relationship."
Mel laughed, "It's not really a healthy relationship when the man is involved with two different women, is it?"
"I thought you and William would be safe on the island Mel. Now I see how dangerous it really is. It is time to get William to a safe place so he can grow up like a normal child."
Mel stood up and shook her head, "You're not going to take him away from here, away from me."
"I'm sorry Mel, but it's the only way. You want your child to be safe don't you? He's been put in danger more times than I can count. One of these days you aren't going to get there in time to save him."
"Ethan, it's time to go." Christian chimed in.
Ethan nodded and went to William's crib and picked him up.
"No!" Mel cried. "Please don't take him! Ethan you said that you still love me. If you truly do then do not do this." she pleaded pulling at his arm.
Ethan looked down at Mel and she could see the unshed tears in his eyes, "I'm doing this because I love you."
Mel continued to try to stop him and he walked out the door and Christian followed. Juliet finally laid a hand on her arm and she stopped.
"That man, Christian, will kill you if you try to interfere. Let them go."
"But he is taking William!" Mel cried.
"I know. That is why we need to get back to the village, now."

But soon they little happy bubble was burst when Mel and Juliet came in.

"Ben!" Juliet called as she and Mel ran into the house.
"What is it?" Ben asked.
"They took him! They took my baby!" Mel yelled as she pulled out her gun.
"What are you talking about? Who took William?" Ben asked and Mel could hear the panic in his voice.
"It was Ethan and Christian Shepard." Juliet told him.
"It's your fault." Mel cried as she pointed her gun at Ben.
"How is it his fault?" Sophie defended.
Mel didn't take her eyes off of Ben, "When were you planning on telling me that Ethan wasn't William's father? When were you going to tell me that you are his father Ben?"
"What?" Sophie yelled.
"Mel..." Ben started but she cut him off.
"All this time you were so interested in William. Asking how he was, keeping him safe. Turns out you were protecting your own son."
"Ben." Juliet cut in, "They are going to leave the island. They are taking him now."
"Ben, tell me what she said isn't true. You don't really have a child with her do you?" Sophie said growing upset.
"Tell her Ben. Tell her how you picked me from a file. You chose me long before she was ever around. Tell her the truth!"
"Yes!" Ben yelled startling them all. "What she says is true. I am William's true father." Then he looked to Sophie, "I was desperate for a child Sophie. This was planned years before I met you."
"You bastard." Mel breathed. "How dare you play with my life like that."
Ben looked at Mel and she could tell he was being sincere, "I told you we were meant for each other in another life Mel."
"But this is not another life Ben! I don't get another life and I don't want one without my son! You say you are his true father? Here is your chance to prove it. You go and you get him back. You get my son back, don't you let them take him off of this island."
Ben nodded, "I would Mel but I can't."
"Why not?"
The look he gave her made her heart break even more. "Because it's too late. Listen."
Outside they heard a low humming noise. Mel ran out the door in time to see a helicopter take off over the ocean.
"No!" she screamed over and over. "Bring him back!"
She felt Ben's strong arms wrap around her as he whispered in her ear, "I'm so sorry, Mel. I'm so sorry."
In his words Mel could hear the tears he was crying with her. Crying over the loss of their son.

OMG! *cries too* LOL
Sophie rushed out looking at the sky as the helicopter flew off. She turned to look at mel. She screaming for her child back as Ben held her. She watched feeling the similar pain in her heart. Just when things were going right. it all went wrong. She wiped her tear then hearing a whisper. A person calling her name. She turned behind her to look but no one was about.
"Come to me...." it kept repeating. The whispers heading towards the jungle Sophie followed them. She had been summoned. It was time to face Jacob.

It was long after the helicopter was out of sight before Mel was able to truly comprehend what had happened. She stood abruptly, pushing Ben away from her.
"Mel, why don't you come inside and lay down." Ben offered kindly.
"No." she said shaking her head.
"Alright, we can stay out here."
"I want you to stay away from me." she warned him. A crowd was beginning to gather around them, they had heard her screaming, but she didn't care.
"But Mel." Ben pleaded.
She could see he was just as devastated as she was. He was only trying to hold himself together for her sake, but she couldn't give in to him. Not this time.
"It doesn't matter anymore Ben. Nothing matters anymore. I've lost the only things I loved on this island. William is gone. Ethan is gone. I have nothing and no one left."
"There was a time that you loved me." Ben said and looked down.
"And look where it got me!" Mel yelled and turned to walk towards the jungle.
"Where are you going?" Ben asked.
"I was given a task to complete. I think it's time I finish it."
"You said you weren't going to kill Sophie."
"I said I wasn't going to do it right then. Trust me Ben. I just might be doing you a favor."
"What do you mean?"
"She's pregnant, no?"
"Yes, she is. How did you..."
"I know Ben." Mel cut him off. "Think about it Ben, why would Jacob want me to kill a pregnant woman?"
Ben didn't have an answer for her. "Why don't you tell me?"
"I'd much rather it come from her mouth. You might get lucky Ben. Maybe Sophie will get a chance to tell you everything before I find her."
"Why are you doing this Mel? What happened to us caring for each other?"
Mel shrugged, "It doesn't matter what I felt or even what I feel now. You destroyed my life Ben. The way I see it, it's only fair for me to do the same to you." she finished as she turned away from him and walked into the jungle.

Luke and Hurley stared in shock horror at the confrontation that was happening outside from where they sat on one of the outside benches.
"Should we do something?..." Luke asked.
"Best not dude....it could only lead to more trouble." Hurley replied, then his attention was drawn to the outskirts of the jungle. He swore he could have seen a shadow outline of a person slinking through the trees. He blinked, and then the shadow was gone.
Sophie had run into the jungle, and soon after Mel had an agressive confrontation with Ben, she went off in the same direction, gun in hand. Luke couldn't cope with it. More people dying. It just wasn't right. He stood up and walked away from the village, not wanting to witness anything, even if it was just hearing a gun shot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You don't want to do this Mel." Came a voice in the jungle, making Mel stop briefly in her tracks.
"Who said that? Who's there!" She demanded. A figure stepped out of the shadows of the tall jungle trees.
"No, it can't be." Mel exclaimed in disbelief and shock. "Zoe? You were shot, you died!"
"Yes, you are right. I did. But someone was able to help me." Zoe replied smiling, and gave Mel a look of sympathy. "Listen Mel, you've just suffered a terrible trauma. Please, stop, think and don't act rash, don't do anything you would regret."
"You don't understand Zoe, Jacob wants me to do this!" Mel trilled.
"And do we really want to be enslaved into everything Jacob tells us?" Zoe replied calmly. "We only know who Jacob is, but I we all sure of what Jacob is? Have you ever stopped to think that maybe this is all a test? Maybe he set this to see whether you could think for yourself instead of always following orders. Maybe you're not meant to kill Sophie. What if you are meant to do the opposite? Help her survive?"
"No, Jacob made it clear what he meant." Mel replied.
"Okay, let me ask you this. If Jacob told you to kill William, or Ethan, or anyone else you truley loved, would you do it? You are just finding the decision easy because you dislike Sophie." Zoe tried to reason. "Mel, you kill when you have to, to protect the people you love. But you aren't a cold blooded murderer. You know that you will regret it if you go through with this. So I am asking you nicely, please, stop."
Mel looked at the floor for a moment and then back up at Zoe.
"I'm sorry, but I can't." She replied, and went to run on throught the jungle in the direction that Sophie went, despite Zoe blocking her path. Zoe shook her head, withdrew a taser.
"I'm sorry Mel, but I have to do this before you do do something you will regret." Zoe said to her as Mel came closer towards her. Zoe shot her with it, the dart hitting Mel in the neck, and she fell to the floor, her body shaking as if she was having a fit, the drugs soon took charge, and calmed down until Mel's body became limp.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was dark by the time Zoe noticed Mel waking up. But she didn't fret. Zoe knew she, Mel and Sophie, for now, were safe. Before Mel could speak to her, Locke appeared into the clearing, and handed Zoe a bottle of water, and heaving a boar on his back.
"Thanks John." Zoe said to him. Zoe walked over to Mel, and offered her a bottle of water.
"Can I trust to have a calm and steady conversation with you now?" Zoe asked Mel.
