The Island

Stomach Ache.

My dad paddles towards the island. I'm holding the baby trying my best to calm it down but I'm not good with children and the boy sitting across from me could sense it. I look up, he looks away and rolls his eyes at my ignorance towards silencing a crying infant. I've done everything I could think of to silence her/him but nothing has worked. I start to rock the baby back in forth in my arms cradling it to my chest softly singing an old lullaby my grandma would sing to me. It didn't work the infant just cried more. I look over at the boy and he starts to sign something to me with his hands, I realize he's doing Sign Language. I'm a little rusty considering I haven't studied sign language in bloody ages but I manage to make out what he's saying, "Do you understand me?" I put the infant in my lap considering she/he looks only about a year old and can hold her/his head up by his/herself. I gather what I can remember and sign back, "Yes, are you deaf or hearing?" He nods signaling he could understand me from seeing the look of anxiety and fear I had said something wrong on my face. He signs back "Hearing but you hadn't said anything that i thought you were completely deaf." I laugh and signed back
"No I'm hearing as well I just can't speak right now" he nods and turns away. I look down at the baby lying in my lap that had finally fallen asleep. My head falls to the side and I close my eyes darkness taking over my body.

I am awoken by a yank and I open my eyes to see we had hit the land. I look up at dad and hand him the baby as I climb out of the raft and attempt to stand and run just to be pulled back down by gravity from my body being too weak. The strength it took me to swim out of the plane and current had stripped me of all energy I had. I look down coughing and gagging from the amount of sea water in my stomach. Nothing comes up, there was nothing to throw up. I collapse from the weakness and heat exhaustion. My vision starts to fade in and out until I'm surrounded by darkness.

~Jean Louis POV~

I watch Iris try to climb out of the boat but she collapses. She's too weak, I look down at the child I was holding in my hands he/she is still breathing and looks to be asleep so I think he/she will be fine. I look back over at Iris to see she's unconscious. I had the child to the boy next to me and run to her, I tap her shoulders and ask if she's ok but she's not responding. I pick her up and move her into the shade.

"Help me with this raft." I say to the boy. He nods and gets up setting the child next to Iris. We drag the raft over to the trees and flip it over putting  it in the shadiest place we could find. I pick up Iris and she her on the raft so her body won't be lying on the hot sand and her body temperature will go back to normal going back grab the child and lie her/him by her.
I look over at boy in front of me, "come on we need to find food." I say.

We soon find a coconut tree after talking and trying to find food for about an hour. We knock a couple down and take them back to where Iris is.
"Thank you for helping me I never asked what your name was."

"My name is Olivier it was my pleasure you did save my life after all."
