Charlie laughed at Claire. "Well to make a note you've got to press certain strings...Here" He said placing her left hand in the right position and moving her fingers to the right strings. "Okay hold those down and strum the strings with your right hand" Charlie had been so concentrated on the guitar he hadn't even noticed how close he and Claire actually were. "See...that was a G"

Claire noticed how close Charlie was to her but ignored it. Afterall he was only teaching her how to play guitar. She nodded, "So, how many notes are there?"

"Well there's A thru G. But you've also got the minors and the majors. But you don't really need to worry about all of that. There are some songs you can play with just 3 notes" He said with a small laugh.

"Wow," she said, "I wouldn't remember all the notes anyway." She moved slightly, "By the way, this is proving difficult to hold with my 'bump'," she laughed again gently.

"I can believe that" Charlie said with a small laugh. "Because it's proving hard to get my arms around you with your bump" Charlie said finally realizing how close he was and letting go off her hands.

She chuckled and rubbed her large belly, "Well hopefully we'll be off this island soon and I won't have to worry about him too much." She paused. She realised that as soon as they were rescued-if they were rescued she would have to give the baby up. And she would never see Charlie again. She remained silent a minute.

Charlie's stopped smiling as he started to play with his Drive Shaft ring. "So you're sure your giving him up then?" He asked after a long pause. Charlie had started to become accustomed to living on the island, and though he wouldn't admit he had hoped to play a sortof father figure to Claire's baby.

She stared in to Charlie's eyes for a long time before replying. She sighed and looked away, "I have to." she said, the memories flooding back with Thomas and the pshycic. She felt her stomach doubting her words, "It's the way it has to be."

"Maybe not" Charlie said sitting down in front of Claire and looking into her eyes. "You could come live with me when we get rescued...you and the baby...if you wanted" He didn't want to force Claire to do something she didn't want to, but he didn't want her to do something that she would regret either.

She smiled weakly, "That's sweet. Perhaps. You live in L.A?" she asked. She thought it would be strange for her not to live in Australia.But she would have to get used to change as long as she was here.

Charlie smiled brightly at the fact that it wasn't a no. "Yeah...that's where I was going to go when we get rescued" Charlie didn't like thinking about everything that had led him to LA. The drugs. The band. His brother. "I lived in Manchester, but time for a change, you know? Too many bad memories"

"Manchester?" Claire wasn't too sure where that was but continued to listen, "Oh I totally understand," she replied thinking about the war she was having with her mum and the slight risk of bumping in to Thomas now and again at home. Maybe it would do her good to live in L.A. It would make it easier to give her baby to the couple that wanted her child and she wouldn't have to travel back on a plane back to Australia. Though she doubted she'd ever go on another plane again. "Maybe we've both got things we want to run away from," she accidently said aloud.

Charlie gave Claire a small reassuring smile. He didn't know what Claire could possibly have to run away from, but he wasn't going to push the issue. He had problems he didn't want to talk about and he was sure she had her own problems. "Maybe" He said trying to think of something to change the subject of their conversation. "Want me to get that guitar off of you" He said with a small laugh when he realized she was still holding it.

She looked down at the guitar resting on her knee and laughed, "Yes," she handed it back to Charlie, "Thank you." She stared out to the jungle a minute and felt the condensation rest on her skin, "Well, I guess I've got to get used to the humid air." she wiped her forehead, "Darn jungle." she joked.

"Yeah, it does take some getting use to" Charlie said with a small laugh. "But, anythings gotta be better than sitting out on the beach all day. I don't know how you could stand that. Don't pregnant woman have hot flashes or something?"
