Juliet/Sawyer, Juliet/Richard, cuckoo bird 4/?

[greedyslayer.livejournal.com]

And finally, finally a really fuckin' high-pitched scream rent the air, apart from the scream the new mother had finally screeched out, and Richard pulled something small and wriggly and slimy and red out and--and sonofabitch, it had to be the lighting from the fire illuminating the dark, but the baby was suddenly the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen in his whole worthless life.

"W--what is it?"

It took a while for James to work his mouth around the hoarse words, "It's a boy."

"It is?" Juliet's voice was exhausted, but he could still hear the relieved, giddy smile in it.

Richard was smiling too, and damn if he didn't suddenly look a whole lot younger then--maybe even his own age. But James wondered if the guy would've looked even more ecstatic if he realized he was holding his own son (and it was then he wondered if Richard ever had kids before--he was certainly impossibly old enough for that). James helped him clean the boy and cut the umbilical cord and swaddle him in a blanket Richard had packed, the whole nine yards. When Richard gently passed the screaming baby to Juliet's arms, Sawyer watched them, and felt something tight and hot in his chest--some kinda pride, some kinda jealousy, some kinda regret and pity for the father and son that had no clue what was going on, for the momma that had to carry it all.

Then all hell broke loose.

There were clicks--but the clicks of guns, not a monster, and coming from both sides.

Immediately Juliet tried to slide back with the wailing kid in her arms, and James just went to her, hauling her up and away. Both watched as Richard immediately stood up, his hands raised, his eyes narrowed. Juliet glanced, found Horace and Phil and Amy and other Dharma folk (but no Dan or Jin or Miles, damn it) with their weapons aimed at Richard--who glanced pointedly at his own back-up, Eloise and Charles and--

"Ben--"

"Horace, retreat and we'll let the boy go," ordered Eloise firmly, Charles at her side with a young Ben held at gunpoint.

With his arms still around Juliet, James snapped, trying to make his voice a helluva lot louder than the kid's, "Richard here just helped save Juliet and her kid--so everyone needs to calm down, and back off."

Another tense few seconds passed, in which the newborn infant's voice only grew louder and louder, and Amy was the first to lower her weapon, along with the rest. A second later, Eloise nodded, and Charles shoved Ben to them, Sawyer grabbing the kid by the shoulder.

And with that, they went their separate ways, Richard and his people back to their camp, Juliet and her son and Sawyer back to what was left of Dharmaville.

"So, what's the squirt's name?"

Juliet slowly rested her head on James' shoulder; his arm hadn't left her side since they started the long march home.

With her son shuffling around in her arms and still crying, but softly now, Juliet murmured, "Isaac."

3 years later

Lara Chang was very patient with Isaac after he pointed a small finger at her growing stomach and demanded an explanation.

"I'm just having a baby." When Isaac crinkled his small nose, she added, "It might be a little boy or a girl for you to play with."

Later, the three-year-old interrupted his mother's poker game with Miles and Jamie.

"Where did Mrs. Chang get her baby?"

Isaac's dark eyes stared at Miles when his head immediately sank into the table. The child heard him groan, and Jamie laughed, patting the other man's head good-naturedly.

His mother just smiled that crooked smile of hers, and promised to tell him when he was older.

1 year later

Juliet was at the motor pool and James had a break in his shift--so it was him that got to pick up Isaac from the principal's office.

James' worries only increase when he found the dark haired, dark eyed kindergartener beat up, with a black eye, some bruises and cuts, his clothes torn and dirty. But the older boys next to him actually don't look much better off.

The principal just told him the obvious: Isaac and these first graders had gotten into a fight, and neither would say what it was about. Of course, they would all be sent home for the day.

Maybe against his better judgment, Sawyer tried to carry the kid home, once they were out of sight of Dharma's schoolhouse. Shit, the boy was only 4 and his legs were banged up too.

But Isaac had stubbornly and angrily refused his help, growling he was a big boy now. Sawyer was distinctly reminded of Juliet.

And so they both walked home, albeit slowly.

Still, James made him sit on the porch when he fixed him up with some first aid, ignoring the way the kid fidgeted, Isaac really just couldn't keep still for one damn minute.

"Gonna tell me what happened?"

Isaac nervously chewed his lip, but stayed silent.

"If you don't tell me, who's gonna get your mom to calm down?" At times, there wasn't much to pressing a kid's buttons the right way.

Grumbling something incomprehensible, Isaac finally started, "They were making fun of me."

"Go on."

"The same stupid name over and over again--"

"Don't sound very creative."

"It's because of my stupid eyes--"

James froze for a split second. Then hoping Isaac didn't notice, asked, "What do they call you?"

"'Guyliner,'" Isaac grumbled, and damned, if that didn't make Sawyer feel like a complete ass. Of course, he'd never even thought that about Isaac, but he'd thought and said it plenty of times about his old man (of course, anything said was always out of the boy's earshot). But still, it seemed an offense to the kid too, 'cause there was no denying Isaac had inherited his daddy's eyes--and his hair, and just, just everything, Isaac looked like he'd grow into the spitting image of Richard when he was older.

"And 'Eyeliner Boy' and they say even Mom's eyes aren't as girly like mine, and Tim sometimes calls me 'Faggot'--"

James briefly saw red--but then he just told Isaac there was nothin' wrong with his eyes, and that kids can be just stupid and cruel.

But Isaac still growled, now with a sniffle, "I hate my eyes."

"Isaac."

The boy froze from his place on a stool at the bathroom sink, turning to his mother framed in the door.

"What are you doing?"

"I--" and he instinctively lowered the scissors from his eyes with Juliet still staring him down. "I was just gonna cut my lashes," he mumbled.

James had told her about this before, and it had calmed her ire.

Juliet just sighed, removed the scissors from his small hand, then carried him out of the bathroom, and sat him on the couch.

"Isaac, your eyes are handsome." The boy just snorted, but Juliet knew he was lucky she hadn't gone with her first distinctive description, 'beautiful.'

"They're your father's, you know."

Isaac knew mom rarely talked about him. The boy asked, "Where is he?"

Juliet told him he died in a shipwreck, and that was that; for now, the boy felt too guilty to ask for more detail.

Later when trying to avoid her own guilt, Juliet shared what happened with Isaac and the scissors that afternoon with the others at the poker table.

"God, he's gonna be a nightmare when he's a teen, isn't he?" James muttered even as Miles snickered, and even Jin and Daniel laughed, while Juliet just gave a tired smile.

1 year later

In the morning, Juliet pressed her nose into James' back, her arms tight around his waist; the man rustled in the covers, pleased. They were barely awake, which suit them just fine--it was a real nice, sleepy morning--

Something bounced excitedly in their bed, and James moaned into his pillow, while Juliet moaned into his back.

But they groggily got up, and James even managed a smirk at Isaac's beaming face.

"What's up, Hotshot?"

"Must be the science fair, Ms. Distine was letting your class watch it today, wasn't she?" Juliet asked, smirking as she leaned against James, her eyes going up and down, watching her son bounce.

Rolling his eyes, Isaac said, "It's my birthday!"

"Really? Plain forgot about that," said James in a chipper, teasing voice, and Isaac just rolled his eyes again. The boy then stuck himself right in between his mother and Jamie. "Can I get pancakes for breakfast?"

"Sure," Juliet said, ruffling his dark hair.

"With ice cream?"

"No, that'll be later."

The phone rang, and Sawyer reached over, grabbing it.

"Yeah?" Minutes later, Sawyer shot Juliet a hard look, and she stiffened. Then her face grew impassive as James rushed out of bed and started dressing.

"What's wrong?" Isaac asked curiously, watching the man as Juliet began pulling him out of the bed.

"Just have these new recruits to meet, Hotshot. Last minute thing, you understand."

"Uh huh," Isaac said, though he really didn't. His mother took him to the kitchen, sitting him at the table. Isaac called out from there to the grown ups' bedroom, "Will Miles and Dan and Jin be with you when you get back?"

"Probably," James called back. When he rushed into the kitchen, he quickly hugged Isaac with one arm, told him happy birthday. Then Juliet gave him a hastily prepared breakfast for the road; she whispered, "did he say who--?" and James whispered back, "gonna find out now, Blondie;" and then they kissed, and James was out the door.

This is absolutely wonderful. The fact that Isaac belongs to Richard, but Sawyer totally steps up to take care of him made me so happy. I love how homey everything feels. Dharma era really is my absolute favorite place to be.

And a tiny Richard! I could just picture Isaac in my head, so determined and headstrong. Daddy!James was a beautiful image. Thank you so, so much for this! :D

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. XD

I think Isaac's my favorite Lost OC. I want to use him more.

Daddy!James is <3
