Chapter 42

Ruby's P.O.V~

I finally round the corner to see clover crying at the infirmary door.

"You're not going to die Glenn, we're looking fir somewhere to get the antibiotics and you'll be fine." She cries.

"There are more and more people here everyday and most if them are already getting better." I hear him cough from behind the glass.

"I'm not gonna lose you, I just got you back."

"Well you might okay, and you'll survive if you do, I just need you to keep an eye out for Ruby okay? Make sure Max is good too, he's really tough but still you need to watch out for him." Glenn pleads.

My eyes tear up as I hear him and I decide to walk over.

"What's wrong?" I ask Clover wrapping my arm around her protectively.

"Nothing, it's nothing." She says whilst sobbing.

"Max is feeling heaps better, Hershel thinks he should be moved out into a new ward because he's almost better." Glenn pipes up happily.

I take a proper look at Glenn, his eyes are shallow, his face is gaunt and he is wrapped in a blanket even though there are beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Are you okay?" I ask him desperately.

He stays quiet for a minute before slowly answering.

"No..."

I look at him in silence for what seems like forever, going over memories that i've remembered and forgotten.

Us hugging.

Us laughing.

Us fighting.

Us kissing.

Then a voice interrupts my thoughts.

"Ruby I thought we were going to talk?"

I whip around to see Rick standing behind me.

And that's when I realise.

"Stand back please Glenn." I ask kindly.

He shuffles away from the door and i check the room he's in.

Clear.

I whip my gun out and shoot twice at the dented door knob.

Everyone is quiet as the shots ring out and the door creaks open under the jolt if the bullets and the freeing if the lock.

"This is my answer." I say as I kick open the door and grab Glenn's shirt.

He looks at me shocked before I pull him towards me and smash our lips together.

---------------------------------------------

Glenn's P.O.V~

I am numb with shock as Ruby starts to kiss me.

I can't do anything but stand there with my mouth open.

She pulls back, my shirt still in her hand and whispers.

"I'm in this till the end."

I wrap my arms around her shoulders and hug her tightly, never wanting to let go.

"Ruby?!" My sister yells from behind us.

"What?" She muffles into my chest.

"You're going to get sick!" Clover cries desperately.

I push Ruby away from me in horror when the accusation rings true in my ears.

She simply shrugs.

"Too late now." She says before kissing me again.

Her hands are on my shoulders and I know she's on her toes because she can't reach me otherwise.

I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her closer to me.

Close enough that I can feel her the small, round bump where her usually soft, flat stomach was.

My unborn baby, my little boy or girl.

I can't imagine how great a brother Max will be to the baby.

I open my eyes to see Rick walk away from us and Clover gazing at us happily as she closes the door.

"I. Love. You. Glenn." She murmurs into my neck as she kisses it roughly between words.

"I love you Ruby."
