A Survivors Story of The Zombie Apocalypse

Surprise

Two months later (September)

I woke up feeling the urge to get sick. I ran to the bathroom and let it flow out of me. I had been feeling like this for a few weeks but just didn't pay attention. As I was getting sick, the door opened and water was running. I heard a clink of a glass and a flip of something wet. When I dared to look up, Alisa was there. She washed my face and made me sip the water. I sat there breathing heavy for a whole and finally I knew I was back im the safe zone. Alisa helped me stand and handed me a box. I looked at it and it was a pregnancy test.

"It's been about month that this has been going on. Take it and we will handle it if it's positive." She said.

"I can't. What if it's positive? I can't bring a baby into this world. How would it even remotely be safe? We are barely keeping this cabin safe." I said.

"Look, I wish I had answers just like everyone else, but how am I supposed to help if I can't get you to pee on that damn stick."

I shook my head and took out one of the pregnancy tests. I waited until Alisa turned her back and peed on it. I set it aside and cleaned up. After washing my hands I looked down at the stick and just stared at it. Alisa looked at it as well.

"Congrats, your going to be a mother." She said.

I sat on the floor in shock. I was pregnant. How could engage gotten pregnant? Now I would have three children to worry about and it wasn't fair to any of them for me to have a baby. Riley had no one but me left and she needed me the most. I would have to tell everyone. Not just Riley or Kade, but everyone.

"Let's just go get you some water and maybe after that you will feel up to a patrol with Kade where you tell him." She said.

"I can't tell him yet. I just can't." I said.

"Look, I know this most be crazy and totally not the ideal situation tonnage a child, but how will you keep this a secret? Everyone has noticed you being sick."

"No one has said anything."

"Because they think that you know what is going on. Now you do. Just tell him and you can tell Riley later. Just don't keep this from him. Have you missed any periods since this thing has started?"

"Two, but I chalked it up to stress, just like I did the vomiting. Never occurred to me I could be pregnant."

"Come, you have a patrol to do and a man to tell."

I scowled at her and followed her out. I went to the kitchen and got a glass of water and drank it slowly and grabbed my gun and bow and headed outside to meet Kade by the cars to patrol the fence, we had finally finished a week or so before. He smiled at me and we began our walk to the gate.

"Late start or were you sick again?" He asked me as we got to the gate and vegan walking along the fence.

"Sick again." I said.

"That's been going on for weeks now. What's wrong? Do you know?"

"Yes I do."

"And?"

I stop walking and look at him, "I took a test this morning and I am pregnant."

With that I began walking again. He followed suit and just stated at me.

I stopped again, "We are supposed to be watching for the zombies damn it. pay attention to the task at hand."

"Excuse me for being shocked. You did just teller your pregnant after all." He said, "How could you not know? You should have known. We shouldn't have done anything. Oh God."

"That's really your response to this? We should have had sex? It's not like I knew it was doing to happen. Hell I missed two periods and it didn't register as a pregnancy symptom. Sorry I screwed up and pregnant. Stay here, Taylor will be here shortly."

I stormed off and went inside and sent Taylor out to patrol with him. I sat on the bed I shared with him and cried. He acted horrible toward the news. At least I knew it wasn't something I knew was going to happen. But I had no choice now. The baby was there to stay and now I had to prepare for that. Riley came up to me and sat beside me.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"You remember how your friend Sarah was going to be a big sister? How her mommy was going to have a baby?" I asked her.

"Yeah, kind of."

"Well, I am going to have a baby."

"Really?"

"Really. I want you to know that I love you and always will. No matter how many babies I have in the future. This doesn't change my love for you, okay?"

"Okay. Does this mean that Kade is my uncle now?"

"No sweet heart, it doesn't mean he is. I don't think he wants the baby."

"But why?"

"I don't know, Ri. I just don't know. Hey, go get your work book and let's do some work."

She smiled and left the bed. I needed to distract myself from the pain I was feeling. She came back with her books and I began helping her as Phoebe always does. Alisa came by a few times but didn't say anything. Today was the day that the scientist was supposed to make his announcement on progress. I heard the radio get clicked on and the sound of it picking up his broadcast.
"This is Phil again. I have been testing cure types for weeks now. I have had a success with one I've been trying on a few scratch victims. They seem to be healing without any illness, but it isn't working for bite victims. I will continue working on this and modifying this. If there is anyone out there, I need assistance. I am in Louisville, Kentucky. Anyone seeking safety, feel free to come."

Alisa came into my view as the radio is turned off, "That's it, you can have the baby there."

"Louisville? With a mad scientist? Please, I doubt it's actually safe. How do you think he gets his victims?" I asked, "Riley, run along please."

She leaves and Alisa said, "Come on, it's the safest place to have a baby. He all but invited us to join him. Plus, it's clean. Come on consider it."

"Why? So some of us can due on the way?"

"No, so we can have a chance at living. Please, the kids, your child, need a safe clean environment to grow up in."

"I'll consider it. I'm due to go hunting in a half hour. I'll take a walkie. Don't call unless it's an emergency."

She just stared at me as I grabbed my bow and arrows and walked toward the door. Kade and Taylor were at the gate. They opened it and let me through. I went into the woods and began looking for signs of any deer or other animal we could eat.
