I figured I'd write this since I miss seeing Charlie and Claire together, they were my favorite lost couple. This is in Charlie Pace's perspective. Thank you for reading and please review if you liked it :)

I awoke with a start, my head was pounding and my heartbeat was rapid. There were tons of memories fresh in my head, memories of an island, of monsters and of polar bears. But...they couldn't be memories, could they? I must have been remembering a dream...that was the only explanation, right? No, it couldn't have been a dream, there was no bloody way, it had to be real. Crashing was real, being tied up and hung to a tree was real, dying was real. But the feelings I felt for her, that was the most real of all. And those feelings were now stronger than ever.

I frantically looked around the plane I was sitting on, oceanic flight 815, every one looked so familair with the exception of a few who must have died during the impact of the crash. I quickly unbuckled my seatbelt and searched the rows for the one person I wanted to see most of all. The one person who had truly understood me, who had been there for me, who had loved me. She never actually said the three little words, but I knew she felt the same way I did, we had a connection that was beyond words.

"Charlie!" I heard being yelled from the opposite side of the plane, "Over here, Charlie!"

When I turned around I saw one of my closest friends waving me over, and I quickly ran over to his seat.

"Do you remember?" was the first thing he asked.

I nodded, "The island? How could I ever forget?"

His eyes lit up as soon as the words left my mouth and he exclaimed, "I missed you, dude! You don't ever die again, got it?" With that he gave me a huge bear hug, and I smiled until I remembered who I was originally looking for.

"Have you seen Claire?" I asked, my eyes filled with hope.

"No, dude. Just woke up and saw you running around, I didn't get a chance to--"

"Alright" I cut him off, "I better go look"

When I got up this time to look around, I studied the faces of each of the passangers. All of them looked shocked, many of them doing the same thing as I was, looking and talking to old friends. Everyone must have remembered, but still no sign of Claire...

"Oh my god...is that you?" was the only thing that I heard, and I immediatly recognized the sound, I would know that voice anywhere. My eyes opened wide as I turned around to see Claire standing in front of me, she looked even more beautiful than I remembered.

"Charlie, it really is you!" She squealed, her light blue eyes shining as bright as ever. Her loving, warm expression matched that of my own and my smile grew wider with every second that I looked at her.

I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out. To my suprise Claire laughed at the fact that she made me utterly speachless, and grabbed my shoulders as she leaned in to kiss me. The kiss was as gentle and warm as it had always been, but something was slightly different, this time it was filled with more love and passion than I could have imagined.

"I love you" she said softly as we both slowly pulled away from each other, "I love you so much, Charlie Pace."

I couldn't help but to grin sheepishly at her words, and finally found the ability to speak, "I love you too, Claire. I've loved you ever since I first saw you and I'll keep loving you until the day that I die." I stopped a moment to laugh at the irony, "Well, I will love you until the next time I die...Your amazing Claire, your the sweetest, nicest, cutest girl I've ever known. I love you."

Her eyes started to water from sheer happiness, and when a tear made its way down her face I gently wiped it away.

"I'm just..." she sniffled, "I'm so glad your here...don't ever leave me again."

"I won't" I stated matter of factly, "And I don't know how we got here, how we're back on this plane, but--"

"I don't care how it happened, all I care about is that your here, that your with me again."she said and I nodded, that's all that mattered to me as well.

"When we land, let's buy a house." I said suddenly.

"If your asking me to move in with you, than the answer is yes...We'll be a big happy family, just me, you, and Aaron."

We then simutanously looked down at her stomach. For the first time, we both aknowledged the fact that she was still pregnant.

She frowned slightly at the situation as she rubbed her stomach, "I don't want to have to go through childbirth again"

"Look on the bright side, at least this time it will be in a hospital." I stated and she smiled the lovely smile that never failed to make me melt.

As soon as we landed landed, everyone rushed off the plane as fast as they could. They were all as happy as I was to finally be landing in L.A.

"What are we gonna do now, Charlie?" Claire asked, "Search for a house right away or stay at a hotel for the night or--"

"Claire, the first thing we're gonna do is...buy you some nutty, creamy, stick to the roof of your mouth, peanut butter."

She smiled before asking, "I just want to say goodbye to everyone before we leave."

I agreed and we started to look around the airport for any familair faces. First we talked to Sawyer, who looked miserable, and because of his depressed state we only talked for a few seconds. Next we ran into Hurley who was walking hand in hand with Libby, we talked to them for a short while and exchanged numbers, there was no way I was letting Hurley out of my life, he was too much fun and too good hearted. Then we saw Sun and Jin who we happily had a conversation with, for the first time, in English. We didn't notice Jack or Locke walk by but we briefly saw Kate who was once again in handcuffs.

One thing I did notice was that everyone we talked to didn't seem to be questioning how or why we all got here, and I assumed we all had the same reason. We were greatful for what the island gave us (the friendships, the experiences), and even more thankful for it letting us return to our normal lives.

"Claire?"

"Yes, Charlie?"

"Now that we're done catching up with everybody, time to start our new lives as Mr. and Mrs. Pace."

Claire eyed me carefully, before asking me what I was talking about, "Charlie, we're not married."

"About that..." I started, as I got down on one knee and looked up at the woman I loved, "I know it's sudden but we love each other, and all we really need is love, right? And I know this isn't exactly a wedding ring, but..."

"Your driveshaft ring?" she smiled, "It's even better than a wedding ring, Charlie."

"So is that a yes?" I asked, hoping with all my heart that it was.

"Yes, Charlie....it's a yes."
