[Woman screaming in distance]
SAWYER: Shh!
MILES: Now what?
[Screaming continues]
SAWYER: [whispers] Nobody move.
[Screaming continues]
LOCKE: [whispers] James!
SAWYER: I got this.
[Cocks rifle]
SCRIPT: “All Sawyer’s efforts to repress his feelings for Kate go out the proverbial window. Because ACTUALLY SEEING HER HERE ON THE ISLAND once again FLOODS HIM WITH TOTAL LONGING FOR HER. He just STARES as Kate pleads with Claire…”
[Woman speaking indistinctly]
CLAIRE: It knows I don't want it, and I was gonna give it away. Babies know that stuff.
KATE: Okay, no, no, hang on. Listen, listen. Do you want this baby? Do you want it to be safe and healthy?
[Claire sniffles]
KATE: You're not alone in this. We are all here for you. This baby is all of ours. But I need you to push. Okay?
[Claire pants]
KATE: One, two, three... push! Push!
[Claire grunts]
KATE: Come on, Claire! Push!
CLAIRE: [Grunting and screaming] Aah!
KATE: Okay! He's coming!
[Speaks indistinctly]
KATE: Push! Push! Push! Push!
[Claire grunts]
KATE: Push! Push! Push! Push!
SCRIPT: “SAWYER is beyond moved by the sight of the woman he loves, doing this incredible thing for Claire - who is doing something pretty incredible herself.”
[Aaron crying]
[speaking inaudibly]
SCRIPT: “Now we’re PUSHING IN ON SAWYER. He knows he’s going bye-bye and he’s not going to see Kate again until God knows when. He DRINKS HER IN WITH HIS EYES, WET WITH LONGING. REGRET. SADNESS.
AS THE RISING LIGHT WASHES HER COMPLETELY FROM HIS SIGHT.”
[Buzzing, magnetic humming. The white light starts filling the screen. Buzzing and humming stop]
[Sawyer grunts and pants. He looks to where Claire and Kate were, but they aren't there any more]
LOCKE: James? What happened? Did you see something out here, James?
SAWYER: Don't matter. It's gone now

Reviews of this scene:
"Time travel does have its benefits -- the scene where Saywer spots Kate helping Claire give birth didn't need words, Josh Holloway's face said it all. Everything was etched right there -- his love for Kate, and the difficulty of finding the restraint not to talk to her."
source
"And then there’s a scream in the jungle and any Lost fan worth his or her salt automatically knows that it’s Kate and Claire giving birth to their son. How progressive of them, awwww. Sawyer goes to investigate and gets all choked up. He sooooo wants to rush into the scene and zomgiheartyoukate! But he can’t and doesn’t and then the time warp zaps them away."
source
"But that detour didn't prevent Sawyer from stumbling upon the exact moment when Kate helped Claire deliver Aaron. (Aside: Was any of that original footage?) In that moment, I can see why Damon and Carlton have said that this will be "the season of Sawyer," and that Josh Holloway will treat us with some really great acting. As his lip quivered and his eyes got all dewy, it was clear that Sawyer will soon be on board with Locke's plan to bring the Oceanic 6 "baaaack"! Just as the music swells and we anticipate an odd, tender little reunion scenario, there's another flash, robbing us of the opportunity to understand what happens when the Lostaways meet with their comrades across time."
source
"Later Sawyer comes across Kate and Claire in the woods. Honesty? I might have cried a little to see Sawyer watching Kate coach Claire through the birth of Aaron."
source
"Speaking of that time overlap, the look on Sawyer's face as he watched the love of his life just inches away from him was emotional and priceless."
source
"The Little Prince" has Kate in the lead, but she is not the emotional center of the episode. That honor goes to her left-behind love Sawyer, as Josh Holloway breaks some hearts when he actually gets to look at Kate one more time."
source
"As the Losties tromp through the time-bent jungle, Sawyer broods about Kate. It's rainy, nighttime, there's some anxious chronology talk, and then an ominous (and familiar) straight-up white light is visible. Miles' nose is bleeding, and eerily, a woman is screeeeaming in the distance! When Sawyer goes to see who - GOOD GOD, it's Kate and Claire, during Claire's childbirth scene from season one. Kate is glowing and beautiful, and Kate and Sawyer are verklempt, separately. Then FLASH, time traveling again, and when Locke asks what Sawyer saw, he mutters, "It's gone now."
source
"Moment where I almost teared up: Watching Sawyer watch Kate help Claire give birth to Aaron. He loves her so much and knows that he’s lost her forever - whether to Jack or just in general. The fact that Sawyer made me cry: WTF."
source
"It's Claire, and although she's in labor, she's practically invisible to Sawyer even though he likes Claire well enough, because her very own jungle midwife is none other than Kate. [...] Eyes wet, Sawyer looks on in lurrrrrrrrrrrve , as Kate, lit only by the soft light of a torch we can't see, tearfully delivers little Aaron from his mother's womb to her waiting arms. Meaningful music drives home the point that this is a powerful moment, particularly for Sawyer (screw Claire who's just produced a new human), since Sawyer seems to be in lurrrrrrrrrrrve with Kate, and the director is highlighting this just in case you just started watching tonight and don't realize that Sawyer's in lurrrrrrrrrrrve with Kate."
source
"James himself, though, soon fell into his own world of pain. More than anything, the island loves to twist the knife when it gets the chance, to pile on misery to a character already crushed by circumstances. Sawyer’s fleeting vision of Kate and Aaron magnifies his loneliness. For consistency’s sake, the scene adds no additional dialogue as he witnesses the birth of Aaron. The scene leaves the audience to interpret whatever must have been going on in James’ mind, with the editing of the scene and Holloway’s reaction shots as the only clues. Although poor Claire is the one going through labor, Kate is also a true mother at that moment, at least from Sawyer's perspective. When he sees Kate, overcome with joy, holding that baby boy in her hands, the sight must remind him of his own mother. He sees his original lost love, the one that he has been lamenting for thirty years, not just thirty hours. The image must also remind him Cassidy and Clementine; it demonstrates the type of parental happiness he missed when he consciously chose to avoid his own daughter.
Moreover, the scene also highlights his second missed opportunity to embrace fatherhood. A few weeks ago on the island, he had referred to the prospect of Kate with a baby as “the worst thing in the world.” In Sawyer’s mind, he can only associate childhood with pain. The island has shown him that starting a new family might have been the best thing in the world for him, perhaps the only means through which to heal his deepest wounds. He twice gave up the chance at that life, and now he understands what he missed. The scene still manages to mix some hope along with the despair. Kate’s words, directly from the original scene, take on new layers of meaning in the context of the Season Five story: “You're not alone in this. We are all here for you.” These words to Claire double as a fateful message to Sawyer himself in his present situation. The event itself serves as a reassurance that she is still out there thinking of him somewhere, no matter how far apart in space and time they might seem.
Kate delivers the most pregnant line of all (pun intended) immediately afterward: “This baby is all of ours.” In the original birth scene, both Jin and Charlie were present. The shots used in this episode feature only on Claire, Kate, and Sawyer (perhaps implying that 'all of ours' refers to those three people). Many images from Season Four suggested an intimate symbolic connection between Kate, Aaron, and Sawyer. During the initial episodes of that season, Kate believed she was pregnant with Sawyer’s child, and she the idea grew inside of her. As the season closed, Sawyer came running out of the jungle to hand-deliver a different baby to her. Aaron entered Kate's life precisely at the time when she lost Sawyer. I also would argue that it is no coincidence that the actor chosen to play young Aaron is almost a duplicate of the young James Ford in Season One’s Outlaws. Kate always had viewed Sawyer himself as a child, by looking past his outside persona to see the vulnerable James Ford underneath, the little boy in need of nurturing. She has come to see Aaron as the new living embodiment of James, which partially explains why she grew so attached to him."
source
"And Sawyer’s all, “I WANT TO GO TO THERE” and we’re all like OMG SAWYER I WILL COMFORT YOU. PHYSICALLY."
source
"Without saying a word, Sawyer made it clear that he deeply misses Kate. As eighties hair-band Cinderella so raspily sang, “ya don’t know what ya got, ‘til it’s gone.” A similar adage is that we always want what we can’t have. This is one of the reasons why so many women go for bad boys-they can never be had by anyone. Sawyer is the perfect example of the bad boy, or maverick archetype. I believe that if the writers are keeping to classic mythological storytelling (and so far, for the most part, they have) Sawyer either must end up with Kate, or he must sacrifice himself for her. He’s really already done the latter, having jumped off the helicopter so she could find rescue. He might have to completely sacrifice himself, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. According to archetype, Kate and Sawyer will end up together."
source
"Speaking of whom, while I have always been a fan of Sawyer, the character, I increasingly find myself more and more impressed with Josh Holloway, the actor. Dude has some serious chops in his repertoire beyond his southern-tinged drawl and comedic timing. The scene in which Sawyer spots Kate helping Claire give birth to Aaron from afar? His wordless look of longing and heartbreak was palpable. As I re-watched this episode a second time it dawned on me that Holloway is playing Sawyer as if he is suffering from an open emotional wound that just won't heal. And this approach makes sense, in that the woman he loves (Kate) and his closest friend (Hurley) and now both ‘gone' from both him and the island, as well as the fact that he finds himself trapped in a ever-changing situation that he is incapable of being in control of."
source
"Suck it up bitches, you only wish your ship broke the space and time continuum like our ship did."
source
Carlton Cuse: Our characters have these encounters with things that took place in the island's past, and none is more significant than Sawyer wandering through the jungle and seeing Kate helping Claire give birth. This is an incredibly powerful, emotional moment for him. (clip plays)
Damon Lindelof: And we realize that this is also the night Locke first saw that light shining out of the hatch. All of these things are happening for a reason, so to tamper with them is kind of like cheating. (Locke tells Sawyer he needed the pain to become who he is today.)
A Journey in Time - official recap show
"Suddenly, they hear a woman scream. Sawyer unslings his rifle and goes to investigate. He creeps through the jungle and sees two women in a small clearing. As he gets closer he realizes -- it's Kate and pregnant Claire, and Kate is helping Claire deliver her baby. And as mind boggling as it is, he can't help being moved at seeing Kate again. He watches as Claire gives birth to Aaron, and then hears the familiar rumbling of a flash coming and --FAAZAAM! The flash washes over him. Now he's in the same patch of jungle but in bright daylight. Claire is gone. Aaron is gone. But most importantly Kate is gone. Sawyer is devastated. Locke comes up behind Sawyer and asks what it was. Sawyer says it doesn't matter, it's gone now. They continue on towards the Orchid station."

Why did I choose this scene?
This scene is one of my favourite Lost scene ever, and it is one of the most heartbreaking scene I've ever seen. Working on every frame almost destroyed me, just seeing his eyes on the verge of tears makes me want to cry ♥ Josh did a WONDERFUL job.
I love this scene so much because we could see how much James is in love with Kate and misses her, all his pain. It's an epic scene. Of all the moments the Island could have chosen to flash in, it was this one: James seeing Kate with Aaron.
The original scene where Kate helped Claire delivering Aaron was emotional and one of my favourite Kate-scene in which James wasn't present. Except we now know he was: he was there! ♥
This scene reinforces the connection between Kate, Aaron and James, one dear theory of mine that became canon.
