I'll remember us (A Carl Grimes Fan Fiction OC/AU)

Chapter Four: We're Watching...

Carl's POV:

As we're all sitting inside the hallway of the Inn with a candle lighting up the room for our group meeting, I see Henry with the baby walk up to us and sits down. He let's out a big sigh, "What am I going to do with her" he says under his breath. "Hey man, things like these happen." Daryl tries to console him. "It's not fun having teenage kids put attitudes on you while you're trying to figure things out!" My dad says taking a glance at me.

"What?" I tease trying to play off that I don't know what he means. "I can talk to her if you want?" Maggie says while feeding Judith. "No it's best if we leave her alone" Henry tells us. "Alright let's get the meeting started!" Abraham interrupts, "Please stand up Henry."
He does as he's told and then we begin. "Ok so everyone here hasn't properly met Henry Patcher." My dad announces.

"I was talking to Abraham about our future plans for the group. As of now" he says projecting to everyone, "So first let's introduce you to everyone." He gives him a manly pat on the shoulder. After about twenty minutes of my dad presenting us he finally comes to me. "And this..." My dad points at me as I stand up to shake his hand, "Is Carl."

"Hello sir." I say smiling. "He is my son. All I have left besides Judith." My dad says softly. "I'm very sorry to hear that" Henry says. "Well now that you have met everyone, I think it's time we start to name positions!" My dad continues, "Everyone here has a position and we all work a certain way." My dad gets close to his face, "But we all fight and survive!"

He takes a step back, "Now Henry, I know that the one thing you want to do is protect your family, but you also need to protect us and not get us killed." Daryl hands Henry a knife. "You're going to go on errands with Carol and Daryl for now. If we need anything, go with them. They'll be teaching you how to get around those things."

Henry takes a glance at the weapon," Alright!" He looks up at the group and we all clap. "You're in man!" My dad gives him a manly hug before dismissing us all to bed. I see Henry go into the room with the sleeping baby in his hands. I turn off the candle and head straight to mine.

••••••••••

As I rise up for morning I see my dad is still asleep and so is Judith. I'm surprised since babies are always awake early. I head out into the bathroom to see if at least water runs in here. I open the faucet and there it is. Nice gleaming water dripping down. I wash my face in happiness and take a nice long shower. I shut off the water until it is complete silence.

Just as I was about to get out, I hear someone rush inside here panting really hard and loudly. They're weeping softly too. I peek through the curtain and realize it was Lindsey. I rap a towel around my waist and rush out the tub. "Oh my gosh Lindsey are you ok!?" I say running up to her. She tries to speak but she can't.

"Lindsey you're pale!" I say wiping her sweaty forehead, "I'll call for help!" I flinch up towards the door but a tug on my hand catches my attention. As she's holding my wrist she looks at me in pain. Panting she shakes her head signaling me not too. I quickly get back in the shower to change into clothes. Her panting begins to slow down. I kneel beside her and give her a hug. "Shh" I whisper. As she buries her face in my chest, her hands claw into my back of the pain.

I rock her side by side," It's going to be ok." I try to calm her down. Her hands begin to loosen up and her breathing normalizes. I let go of her, "You ok now?" She takes a deep breath, "Yes-Yes" She covers her mouth as she lets out nausea sounds. Lifting up the toilet seat she pukes. I try to hold back because I can't stand puke.

She flushes it down and takes a deep breath as she sinks to the floor. "Oh god" she sighs. "Dude you had me worried here!" I raise my voice. "I don't need you to worry about me" she says weakly. "Im being serious Lindsey! I was freaking out! Thought you were gonna die." I bow my head down still in shock.
