*** Gwen, Jack, and Derek enter from F3-The Caves ***
"...Well, nightmares certainly make sense, given the circumstances. The poor girl must be terrified," Gwen remarked as Jack had recounted that morning's experience with Claire. She'd woken up screaming, palms bloodied from digging in her own fingernails. And though she was calm for now and under the watchful eye of Charlie, the sudden onset of night terrors wasn't exactly helping her situation.
"But I'm not sure there's much we can do to make her less stressed," she added. The three of them were all carrying water to the beach from the caves, but she also carried some of the medical supplies that Jack thought he might need. Plus the leverage she knew she would need to ask a favor of the island's resident hoarder, which she had avoided mentioning to either of her hiking companions since they were very likely to try to talk her out of it.

"But I'm not sure there's much we can do to make her less stressed,"
Firmly gripping both straps of his backpack, weighing down his back heavy with water, Jack carefully treaded a dusty slope in the path as to not fall while being distracted by both his thoughts and Gwen's welcomed input to the conversation at hand. Jack once again proved to himself that multitasking was still his forte as he met the bottom of the small yet slippery bank, especially with Gwen's charming voice eluding the air. Jack nodded in agreement with her statement as he walked closely behind her, "I have a couple of solutions. They're only short term, but they should get her though until rescue finally comes...or until she has the baby. Let's hope for the first option," A flair of anxiety poked out from behind Jack's voice. If Claire absolutely had to have the baby here, Jack knew how to improvise and was confident that he could deliver her baby. Yet, his concern was that if she suffered complications or if anything went wrong, that his resources were very limited.
"We'll have to try our best to keep her hydrated and off of her feet as much as possible. No one in their late stages of pregnancy should ever be going through what Claire's gone through." Jack gave a final word to Gwen on Claire's matter before throwing his head over his shoulder at their new friend who was trailing slightly behind, "How are you holding up back there, Derek?"

Derek hadn't been able to follow the thread of their conversation, not only because he was forming the tail slightly behind but also because he was too occupied in his own thoughts. The sudden scream in the morning, the news about a heavily pregnant survivor, and last but not least, the whole situation at hand, namely the dilemma of getting help for someone he couldn't even mention here to not raise anyone's suspicion, was giving his grey matter enough work for now. So when the doctor suddenly addressed him, Derek seemed rather absentminded, slightly surprised even.
"How are you holding up back there, Derek?"
"Oh - uh, no worries," he replied chuckling, after all. "I might be a nerd, but not in this locked-up-in-a-lab way." Derek assumed that Jack was speaking of him keeping up with their walk while carrying water. Granted, he was not used to physical labor like this, might even end up with sore muscles after today, but well, this whole trip was no picnic, after all.

"We'll have to try our best to keep her hydrated and off of her feet as much as possible. No one in their late stages of pregnancy should ever be going through what Claire's gone through."
"Just for the record, delivering babies was not part of my flight attendant training," Gwen told Jack. "But of course, I'll help as much as I can." The prospect of such an emergency situation left her feeling completely out of her depth and strongly hoping that it wouldn't come to that. But she also wanted to prove herself worthy of Jack's faith and trust in her nursing abilities.
"How are you holding up back there, Derek?"
"Oh - uh, no worries. I might be a nerd, but not in this locked-up-in-a-lab way."
"You are very tan for a nerd," Gwen commented with a smirk. While Derek had been resting at the caves, she'd tried to bring him up to speed on everything that had happened with their group since the crash, including the fact that the plane was hundreds of miles off-course at the time and likely far from any search party's path. He hadn't said much about his own experience out in the jungle and she certainly didn't wish to pry. So the conversation between them had stayed light and pleasant, much like that night in Athens many years ago.
"You've met most of the people at the caves, but there's quite a few more that stayed on the beach," Gwen explained. "Keeping signal fires burning, not wanting to miss the chance at spotting a plane or boat that might pass. Everyone's trying to get by as best they can, and Jack has done his best to maintain the peace, which hasn't been easy. But as a Red Sox fan, we all know Jack is a glutton for punishment."

"I can't take all the credit, Gwen's the real heart of the operation. It's that infectious flight attendant charm." He kept his eyes on the path in front of them as the corner of Jack's mouth flexed into a cheeky grin, returning the light-hearted spin Gwen put on the truth of the situation with a compliment. Jack spoke the truth. Gwen had saved him from burnout on more than one occasion, and everyone absolutely loved her kind and generous heart. He'd be lost without her help and support, especially with keeping everyone from going totally Lord Of The Flies on one another. It had become one of the hardest things Jack had combatted since they crash landed. In fact, it might just be one of the hardest things he had ever had to do in his entire life. He knew that if he could keep everyone from wanting to strangle each other, they could make it a little longer before the insanity would kick in. Hopefully their signal fires would reach some saviors by then, "Speaking of the beach, we're here," Jack slowed his pace as the dirt and grass underneath their feet began to shift to a sandy floor. Jack lead Gwen and Derek through the thinning trees until they emerged from the jungle.

[Mod post: Transcript of NPC scene of what's occurring elsewhere in the current timeline to refresh current players and let anyone interested in picking up one of these canon characters know where these characters currently are.]
HURLEY: John, right? John Locke?
LOCKE: Is this about your census?
HURLEY: Yeah, you know, I thought it'd be a good idea, you know, to get everyone's name and place of residence.
LOCKE: And who's checking on you?
HURLEY: Uh, me?
LOCKE: That was a joke.
HURLEY: Uh, good one.
LOCKE: Yep. You already know my name. I lived most of my life in Tustin, CA.
HURLEY: Cool. And, reason for travel? The reason you were in Australia?
LOCKE: I was looking for something.
HURLEY: Looking, uh-huh. So, did you find it?
LOCKE: No. It found me. Anything else?
HURLEY: [irritated] No, no. That's good. Uh, thanks.
[Hurley approaches a redshirt that's walking by.]
HURLEY: Hey, uh, I know I already talked to you, but, uh, I just wanted to get away from him fast, okay?
