Do you ever get those moments where you look at someone and wish it was you? Exactly how I felt starring at my son with a bullet hole in his side. I sat on the bed, grasping his hand and praying for a miracle. Rick crept in and sat beside me. His arm had a bandage on it, he hadn't explained why he had it and I was thinking the worst things. "What's the bandage for?" I asked pointing to it, "Shane wasn't the right blood type for a transfusion but me being your twin, I had A positive and you know? He's my nephew." replied Rick smiling at Jason. Carl had fallen asleep on the couch in the living room, tired out from such a stressful day. I was holding back on my freak out but Rick being there, just brought it on. "Rick, what happened? I'm so scared, not just about Jason but also about Shane, what if he doesn't make it?" I started trailing off, Rick pulled me into his chest and I felt some tears trickle down my cheeks. "Kat, Shane will be fine, he's one of the toughest guys I know and your son is just like him. The man, Otis, who is with Shane, accidentally shot Jason whilst tracking at deer." explained Rick gently rubbing my back and stroking my hair. It brought back a lot of memories from my childhood of Rick helping my through some rough spots.

"Momma?" asked a weak voice from beside me, I turned slowly to see Jason's little blue eyes look up into mine. I rushed to the other side of the bed and leaned down beside him. "It's me baby." I said stroking his beautiful blonde hair. "Where's Daddy?" he asked, my heart sank but I swallowed the rising lump in my throat and smiled at Jason. "He went to get somethings that will make you feel better, ok?" I explained and Jason nodded. "It was so pretty momma." said Jason, "what was baby?" I asked as Hershel entered the room. "The deer. It was so close." replied Jason. "I' sure it was baby." I said. "Ye..." Jason cut off and stopped breathing. At that moment, Jason began having a seizure and my whole world came crashing down. Rick held me against his chest whilst Jason jumped all over the bed. After a few seconds he stopped, "he's losing blood to the brain, if your husband doesn't hurry. We may lose him." explained Hershel causing me to cry a little. "I'm ready." said Rick putting his bandaged arm out. "No, I'll do it." I said pushing his arm away. "She may be right. You've given a lot of blood. Any more and you could fall into a coma." Hershel explained making me shudder. "Wouldn't be the first time, now let's do it." said Rick bracing himself for another transfusion.

After Hershel took another lot of blood from my brother, I wrapped my arms around his neck and cried on to his shoulder. "Thank you Rick." I said and he hugged me back. "Don't mention it, he's family." replied Rick smiling at Jason. I heard familiar voices in the living room and decided to investigate. I walked out and there stood Glenn, T-Dog and Cody. They rushed up to me, Cody had the biggest look of concern on his face and I sighed. "He's slipping, if Shane doesn't get back soon. We might lose him." I whispered and he hugged me. "Sorry if you were expecting ma brother but Carol didn't think we should leave the highway incase Sophia wandered back. Daryl being the hero." said Cody giving me a slight surge of jealously but it soon disappeared. Dixon wandered through to the room where Jason was and laid down beside him. "Wow, that mutt has a thing for your boy." exclaimed Cody. I smiled and nodded as Hershel came back in. "Your boy's running out of time. If I operate now it's fifty fifty but it's better than waiting and seeing him slip away." he suggested. I turned to Rick and he nodded. "Ok." I said weakly.

Rick and Cody helped Hershel put Jason on an operating table, Patricia set up a lamp as Rick grabbed my hand. "Kat, Rick, Cody, you may want to leave the room." stated Hershel preparing to cut open my boy. A flash of light, broke through the room window and a truck pulled up. I sprinted outside, hoping to see my husband and as if by some luck, it was. "Shane!" I shouted nearly breaking down into tears. "How is he?" Shane asked and I smiled. "A lot better now babe." I said kissing his cheek. Hershel came out along with everyone else. "Otis?" he asked and Shane hung his head. "Nobody tells Patricia. I need her." he said taking the medical supplies from Shane and rushing back inside. Shane took my hand and we walked back inside. We sat down on the couch opposite Carl, Shane pulling me under his arm and he began humming the song they played at our prom. I looked up at him, "what?" he asked quietly and I laughed into his shoulder. "How do you remember that?" I asked smiling at him, "because during the chorus, you kissed me and then Rick broke it up." said Shane making me laugh even harder. "To be fair, she is my sister." sounded Rick from the dining room. We waited an hour and a half before Hershel came out with a smile. Me and Shane rushed to our feet and over to him. "He might just pull through." he said and I hugged Shane. "You two go see him, I'll help Hershel with Patricia." said Rick and I nodded. Shane looked at the ground before taking my hand and gently pulling me into the bedroom. I wanted to ask what was wrong with him but I decided to wait.

Shane and I entered the room and I broke down in tears of joy on the bed. Shane sat in the chair opposite the bed with his head hanging. "Babe, what's wrong?" I asked, "nothin' baby, just thinkin'." he replied running his fingers through Jason's hair and then messing with his own hair. I moved behind him and ran his hair through my fingers until I came across an area with no hair. "Hunny, I think your balding." I exclaimed. "Ok thanks sweetie." he said jokingly, "no babe, there's a bald patch on the back of your head." I said and Shane ran his fingers over it. "Walker must of caught me." he said, I kissed his cheek and smiled. Maggie came in with clean clothes in her hands, "they might not fit. They were Otis's." she said and Shane tensed up but relaxed. "Thank you." I said and she left. "I'll go get ready." he said leaving the room to find the bathroom. I took a seat next to Jason and kept think about Shane. He was acting really strangely, maybe he's still in shock from Jason or maybe something happened whilst he was out. The door creaked open and Dixon's snout peered in. "Come 'ere boy." I whispered and he trotted over to the bed. He jumped up and lay beside Jason. I began running my hand down his back, feeling his fluffy golden brown coat under my fingertips felt so good. Cody crept in, "sorry Kat." he said reaching for Dixon's leather collar.

"Chill out officer, not harm done."

"Ok, ok. Your boy likes him a lot anyways. Would be a nice thing to see after surgery."

"Yeah, it would be."

"Kit-Kat, you don't look to good. What's up?"

"Shane. He's acting weird and it's scaring me a little."

"Probably just shock, you remember when Daryl got shot. Do you not remember my reaction?"

"Yes I do. You kicked Merle's ass and then your dad's and you nearly killed my brother through a car window."

"Yeah, I apologised. I was just scared about losing him. Like Shane is with Jason and if this were you, he'd probably be the same."

"And Daryl."

"Oh yes and he probably would have shot the guy who done it as would I."

"Nice to know I've got people watching my back."

"You'll always have us Kat, we're family no matter what."

I stood up and hugged Cody. "Thank Dixs, I really appericated." I said and he chuckled. "No problem Kit-Kat." he replied. I decided to go in search of my husband as Cody said he'd sit with Jason and Dixon. I walked down the hall, admiring the pictures on the walls when I heard water running in the bathroom. I peered in the door and saw Shane standing over the sink, looking almost possessed...
