Ana, pregnant before the plane crashed, bonds with Charlie on the island; a bond that continues well after they are rescued. A wishlist gift for Amy xox.

Oh wow Kat! That was so good! Those scenes of the baby crying and Ana drinking were so hard to watch. I was cringing the entire time thinking what the hell is wrong with her!? LOL! I love that scene towards the end with Aaron and Megan in the playpen together and when Megan walks to Claire! So sweet! I can't wait to make part 2! Thanks for asking me! This should be fun!!

Thanks Nik!

Yeh poor depressed Ana, can't take care of her baby

it was hard for me to vid! crying baby

I love when megan walks to Claire, too

that's one of my fave parts of that movie (jack & sarah)

That birthing scene, well ana's parts, are from The Breed. She actually gets shot through the calf with an arrow, but she lurches forward and screams, so I've always thought 'birth scene! birth scene!"

I really liked this a lot.

The manips were nice; and you really chose great clips to show Ana in that state. I like how you used Dell.

The manips; again were fantastic. I thought the story was so great; so was the audio.

Eeeee! I can't believe you made a Chana vid, Kat!!! This is your best, EVER!

*is not biased at all*

This was so stunning!!! I really really loved the manips! It's always a bit difficult to make Chana vids because they hardly have ANY scenes together, but I guess that's the fun!

I really liked the birth scene, I thought that "Breed" clip might make a good manip for that. You used the non-Lost clips SO well

And I really liked the manip of Charlie coming home and seeing "Megan" crying and Ana just drinking. The manips with Claire and Ana were also so good! I can't wait for part two!!! Amazing job!!

:D

Amazing job hon! You do such an incredible job with AUs, you tell your storyline so perfectly with both audio and video.

First time really watching AU stuff, but Nikki'd suggested I watch the series, so hello!

The facial shots and the mountains behind them were well done, and the intro 25secs was an effective way to start the video. The speaking didn't sync up to the words entirely at one point ('I was pregnant on the plane'). I liked Charlie playing the piano towards the end when the piano roll kicked in.

I thought the story was fairly easy to follow, although a little more space devoted to Claire and Charlie in light of Ana-Lucia might have been worth it: I deliberately did not read the description to see if I could follow the story alone, and was a bit lost for a second around 3min in when Claire was taking Ana's place. I could have missed something there, but, if so, then whatever I missed might be emphasized.

On to Part 2!
