Conception - Prologue

 Okay. Enough stalling. Let's start posting this puppy...

Feedback: Would love it! Here or at diandrahollman@yahoo.com
Date Finished: Still working on it, but I've got over a hundred pages so far...
Rating: R average with a few spots of NC-17
Keywords: Would you believe I wrote a new story that doesn't have any slash in it? No? Yeah, me neither. Slash, Jack/Sawyer, Mpreg and a pretty good share of roughing up of Jack just because. Let's call it therapy.
Spoilers: Follows cannon, sometimes loosely, sometimes very closely, from the Season One finale through season three. 
Disclaimer: All characters belong to JJ Abrams, Damon Lindelof and Bad Robot. But if any future episodes involve Kate being shot and surviving long enough for her to declare her undying love to Jack and/or Sawyer after approximately five thousand bullets are removed from her chest and Jack goes on the rampage after her killer complete with a lot of yelling and crying then I may have to kidnap them for their own good as well as for the sanity of the viewing audience.
Archive: E-mail me and I'll let you know when I finish it.
Summary: Sawyer's eyes widened as the pieces of the puzzle finally clicked into place in his mind. "You're tryin' to tell me you're pregnant?"
Dedication: To JJ Abrams for creating yet another trippy, mind-bending show for me to totally fall in love with. Even if you did totally walk away from it (and Alias) a year or so ago. Speaking of which...to Matthew Fox and Josh Holloway for making me both love and hate these characters, often many times within a single episode (Matthew especially).
Author's Notes: The timelines are going to be pretty screwed up in this story. Partly because I started writing it before the season 2 premiere and then felt the need to re-write it to accommodate all the stuff having to do with the hatch and the doomsday computer and now it's gotten totally out of control. Working knowledge of the show and character's backgrounds (as seen in flashbacks) as well as several major (and some minor) plot points from all seasons is assumed.
