Great way of getting him out of the chopper And kate running around the island calling for both of them; wanting someone to come for her was so sad loved the Jex scene!! very cool the birth was really good with Kate writhing and then poor jack at the end!

Nikki, this was a terrific AU as always! I always love your song choices too, but this one was pretty cool, I really loved it.

Your audio manips, and your AU scenes were so great! My favorite was Kate giving birth, that part was edited so well..and then her imagining Jack on the island, dreaming of them together..wow! Well done!

Kat, thanks so much! I'm glad you liked the "Kate's pregnant "part. The audio was really low so I wasn't sure if people were going to get it. The brith scene was my favorite to manip, glad you liked it.


Mandi, Thanks! This video is up on youtube...I just thought the low quality looked so bad and I didn't want it embedded on this site. I would rather people either go to youtube and watch the HQ version or watch it on imeem or download it...But its there if you want to fav it...thanks...I'm honored.

Bel, I'm so relieved to hear that you got the "Who's the father scene" I had such a hard time with that and I couldn't get the audio loud enough and I thought sounded so odd...but yay! You got it!

Kate, Glad you liked the music...I got it from this awesome movie called 'Broken English' you should check it out.

That was so much better when I could actually see it! The quality was so bad on YouTube I didn't even realise which clips you used in parts of it! I had no idea what happened to the baby after it was born -- I didn't notice it there under the tree!

It was really cool, really original. It actually disturbed me a little. Poor Kate (and Kate's baby!) (And of course Jack and Sawyer, although I still wanna know who shot him? Maybe there's another sequel in that? )

I loved the piece of music you chose and you did an amazing job with the audio manips in particular, especially Jack saying Kate was pregnant and asking her who the father was! I don't know how you did it (or at least got it to sound so smooth) but it was awesome.

I wasn't sure how you were gonna pull it all off when you were telling me about it the other day but you did and it was great!

Thanks Samara! I know, why was the LQ so bad on youtube?! Maybe youtube doesn't like mov. files...b/c no one elses vids look that bad in low quality..but then my last vid didn't look that bad! Ugh I even uploaded it a few times...oh well *Sigh* So yay! So glad to hear you thought my audio sounded smooth. I had such a hard time with the..Who's the Father line. I used the scene when he is telling his dad, "What if I can't be the father I want to be" and then used the "Who's" from when he asks Juliet "Then who's blood is it." I'm glad it disturbed you a little...I wanted it to be disturbing...hehe Oh and I don't know about sequel...I guess you never know with me...if a good storyline pops in my head maybe I'll make a part 2.

Ahh I LOVED this Nikki! Your story is so totally awesometastical and you made it so believeable! Firstly I loved how you had Jack tell Sawyer she was pregnant then he jumped. And you made me feel so sad for poor Kate stuck all on her lonesome Also loved the bit where she told Jack she was pregnant and the "I don't know" when he asked whos the daddy? And iccle rescuer Sawyer *sniff* :'( And the ending! I just loved it all! Gold obviously!

Let's begin from the start... My first thought when I saw it was "whoa, psychedelic". Great music choice. All of those repeated voice-overs, like 'where are you where are you?" they created unbelievably disturbing atmosphere. It's dark and twisted and I'm loving every second of it.
My favourite scenes are when Sawyer dies and Kate is digging grave for him. Okay, it was sad on the show when she was doing it for Libby, but oh my god you made it devastating. And the look on her face... I was speechless. It's like you directed this scene, and it meant to be just like that. The one where Kate is giving birth. I can't even imagine how anybody could handle this alone. It's heartbreaking. And last but not least... The final scene. And it's my favourite among the favourites cause maybe I am overinterpreting this, but if I'm not then you're pure genius. My jaw dropped. Obviously Kate is haunted by Jack and it's hard to blame her, right? All alone on deserted island, well... not alone anymore which is even worse. But when Jack is standing on the bridge he hears Kate calling for him. He lost it too. He was haunted by her the whole time. It's so powerful. I had chills all over me. Amazing story. More amazing story telling. Once again you made a video I won't forget for a long time.

Thank you Ali! *kisses* I love you! Everything you said was just the way I intended it to be! I'm so glad it came across that way. And yes Jack is haunted by Kate...I wanted it to seem like they had such a powerful connection when they were together that they had a psychic connection even though they were apart. And I still haven't made my mind up about the baby....Kate will never know who's it is but I think Jack probably knows its his since he heard the baby crying at the end. He has that "connection" with the baby too.
