Ben & John's Parallel Lives [Archive] - The Fuselage
Quote:
After running into the middle of the road and getting hit by a car, Emily Locke (initials: EL) gives birth to John three months premature.
During a hike near a roadside in Portland, Emily Linus (initials: EL) gives birth to Ben two months premature.
Emily Locke's nurse says "He's ok for now. He's just real early."
Roger Linus scolds young Ben for 'coming early'
As newborn preemie John is removed from the hospital room, Emily Locke calls out "His name is John! Call him John!"
As Emily Linus dies from a hemorrhage, her last words are "Call him Benjamin."
John meets Horace Goodspeed in a dream, who directs John how to find the cabin.
Roger Linus flags down a car driven by Horace Goodspeed, who later brings Roger and Ben to the Island.
