Mia's P.O.V.

I woke up to an empty bed about thirty minutes ago and just found Carl cleaning his gun on the staircase. "This is where you've been? I was looking everywhere for you!" I say as i sit on the step behind Carl. I wrap my arms around his torso "Yeah this is where I've been." Carl says. He throws his head back to look at me "Morning beautiful." he says and pecks my lips. "Morning handsome." i smile. Carl put his gun on his lap then removed his hat. Carl leans back to where his head was resting on my stomach. "Did you sleep good baby?" I ask Carl as I play with the ends of his hair. Carl closes his eyes "Yeah i did kitten, did you?" Carl asks. I nod "Very." We both smile. Nanny, Hayes and Lori come in with some crutches and Carl opens his eyes as they walk into Pawpaw's cell. "I think were practicing already." i say. Carl smiles "That old man can't sit down for anther minute i bet." Carl shakes his head. I laugh "Well thats how he has always been." I say. Carl stands up then places his hat on his head and his gun in his holster. We walked into Pawpaw's cell as he slowly sits up. I smile "Just take your time Pawpaw." I say. Pawpaw got up quickly "Daddy don't push yourself." Nanny says. As Pawpaw stands up "What else am I going to do?" Pawpaw asks as he grabs the crutches. "I can't stand looking at the bottom of that bunk anymore" Pawpaw says and starts to walk put the cell. "Hershel take it easy." Lori chuckles slightly as me and Carl step out of the cell. We helped Pawpaw out and I couldn't help smile. "Wanna take a rest?" I ask. Pawpaw smiles at me "A rest? Mia sweetie you should know me. Theres no time for rest. Lets go for a stroll." Pawpaw says. We brought Pawpaw outside and I hugged Carl as Pawpaw practiced walking around the court. "He's okay." I smile. Carl nods "Yeah he is baby" Carl hugs me back as we watch Pawpaw get use to his churches. "Yall cleared a those walkers out and now this place is really looking like a place we could live in." Pawpaw smiled "Yes but still watch your step. Last thing we need is you falling." Lori says. I look out the field to see everyone fixin it up and stuff. Carl and I walked with Pawpaw,Lori, Hayes and Nanny. "Alright Hershel!" Glenn yells. We all smile. "Your doin great Pawpaw." i complement. "Ready to race me and Hayes Hershel?" Carl jokes with a smile. Hayes smile "Yeah ready old man?" He jokes "Maybe anther day of rest then your on." Pawpaw says. "Im gonna beat your boyfriends butt Mia and his cousins." Pawpaw says. We laugh "I'm sure you will Pawpaw." i say and everyone laughs agin. Momma, Carol and T-Dog came and smiled at Pawpaw. We stopped and looked out at the field for a little while until i started to hear walker groans. I turn around to see quite a few of walkers "Walkers!" I yell as I pull out my gun. We started shooting the walkers in the head but there were so many. Rick and all tried running towards us as fast as they could but they were on the other side of the gates so it would take them a while. "Lori, Carl, Mia, Hayes here!" My mom yells. She was standing by an entrance to the prison. We ran there and mom closed the gate behind us "The lock is broken. Come on." Mom says and guides us inside. We all got inside and right as i was about to sigh from relief that there were no walkers, of course walkers came from the cell block we were about to walk into. "This way!" Mom says. We went through anther door,but i don't know what this one lead to because I haven't been to this part of the prison before. "Get in front of me." Carl says and pushes me in front of him as we run from the walkers. Soon a loud siren starts to go off. I cover my ears with my hands. Lori stops and grabs her stomach as she groans in pain. "Oh shit." i curse under my breath. Theres no way! She cant be having the baby now! Momma runs towards Lori "Somethings not right." Lori says out of breath. "Mom." Carl says worryingly "I think the baby is coming" Lori breaths as we hear walkers start to come. I shoot one "We have to find somewhere to go now!" Hayes says. "Find a room! There has to be a room!" Carl yells as he shots the walkers "Mia go ahead of us but be very carful!" Momma instructs. I nod and run ahead of everyone else. I start banging on doors to try to get into any room. "Come on I found one!" I yell as a door opens. Everyone ran in and i slammed the door shut. Carl bit his lip and looked at me "Mia she cant have the baby here!" He whispers to me. I look at Carl "Carl she may have to." i say. Lori started slowly walking around the room a little "Lori lets lay you down." Momma says and Lori shakes her head "No, baby's coming now." Lori says as she takes his a deep breath and holds onto one of the chains on the wall. "We have to get back to the cell block and get Hershel to help!" Carl says. "Look Carl we cant take that risk." Hayes says. Carl shakes his head "None of us know how to deliver a baby!" Carl says. I grab Carl's hands "Baby i know your scared right now but we have to do what we have to do." I say. Carl nods "O-Okay." he stutters. He was afraid and nervous. I could tell. Lori started taking deep breaths and Carl squeezed my hands "Whats wrong? Can she breath?" Carl asks quickly. I let go of his hands and walk over to Lori "Shes fine but we have to get her pants off." i say. Hayes shakes his head "These stupid sirens make everything so hard to concentrate on." Hayes sighs as he runs his hand through his hair "You pay attention to Carl while i help Momma with Lori" i instruct. Hayes nods as Momma takes Lori's pants off. Lori laid on the ground "You are all gonna have to help me deliver this baby. You up for It?" Mom asks. I nod and look at Hayes and Carl. They both nod "Okay. Good." Mom says. "Do you even know how to do this?" Hayes asks. "Dad explained it to me a few times and I went to collage for helping out the births, but i didn't finish my semester because of the out break so I only know a little bit." Mom explains "A little bit is better then nothing though." Carl nods. Mom looks at Lori "I cant tell if she is ready to push." Mom says. Lori shakes her head as she sits up. "I gotta push, i gotta push." She repeats as she stands up. Lori pushed as Carl squeezed my arm as he watched his mom. Lori yelled in pain and then took a deep breath "Im okay." she says. "Just let your body do the work Lori it knows what to do." Mom tells Lori. Lori pushed agin "No! No! No! No! Lori stop something is wrong!" Mom says. I looked down at my moms hand that had Lori's blood all over it. Lori screamed in pain "Lay her down." Mom says. I help Lori lay down as she still groans and cries in pain. Carl kneel next to her "Mom, mom look at me. Everything is gonna be okay.Just keep your eyes open" Carl says as Lori starts to close her eyes. Mom grabs her hand "We have to get you back to dad." Mom says and Lori shakes her head "Im not gonna make it." Lori whispers. "They had to cut Carl out when he was born, i didn't have a natural birth for him." Lori breaths heavily. "Lori with all this blood i don't think your even fully dilated yet. All this pushin isn't good." mom says. I look and mom was right there was a lot of blood. "I know what it means and I'm not losing my baby." Lori says. Carl started getting tears in his eyes "Mom you know we cant do that if we do we would lose you." Carl says. Hayes started violently pacing around the room. "You've gotta cut me open." Lori says. "No! We dont have to tools for that Lori!" I argue. Carl shook his head "Mom no!" He says. "Carl has a knife. There is a scar from when we had to do it for him. Follow the scar and get the baby out." Lori explains. I shook my head. She would die for sure we couldn't do this. "Mom please no!" Carl begs "Aunt Lori you cant do this you wont survive!" Hayes says as he kneels down on the other side of her. I kneel down next to Carl who was still next to his mom. "My baby has to survive." Lori says. "Maggie please for the baby. Please. Just please!" Lori begs. Momma shakes her head as her eyes start to water like mine do. "Carl." Momma whispers. Carl shakes his head "No i....I cant!" Carl says. I grab his face with my hands "This is what she wants for the baby. You have to do it." i tell him as tears fall from his eyes. Carl looks at his mom "Give the knife to Maggie Carl." Lori says. Carl slowly pulls out his knife and hands it to my mom. I wipe Carl's tears away as mine soon start. I put my hands in my lap and look over at Hayes who was silently crying. "Carl, baby i don't want you to be scared okay.This is what i want, this is right" Lori says. Carl nods as he grabs one of her hands and mine. "Now i want you to take care of this baby and your dad for me." Lori says "You dont have to do this." Carl says quickly as tears fell off his face. "Yes, yes i do." Lori says as Carl starts to cry really bad "You are gonna beat this wold i know you will. Baby your gonna be fine. You are smart and you are strong and you are so brave and I love you." Lori says. "I love you too." Carl says. I started crying really bad with Hayes. "You gotta do whats right baby. Promise me you'll always do whats right" Lori says. "It's so easy to do the wrong thing in this world so if it..... if it feels wrong don't do it." Lori says as she starts to cry herself. "Hayes Mia the same goes to you two it feels wrong don't..... don't do it." she says. "If it feels easy don't do it don't let the world spoil you." Lori cries. "Your all so good." Lori says as she smiles at us. "My sweet babies." Lori says and I smile at her I squeeze his hand as Lori looks at me. "Mia, my beautiful Mia." Lori says. "Take care of my boys and baby please" Lori says. I nod "And dont ever let Carl do the wrong thing. Keep him in order for me. Never let him go ether because he needs you." Lori says "You both need each other so much. You two have a beautiful relationship and don't you guys ever let it go." Lori tells us. We nod "Mia you are a beautiful, smart, strong, funny, girl who will beat this world. You are so kind and we need people like you in this world." Lori says as she puts a hand on my knee "Your gonna change this world along with everyone else. I love you so much and i cant thank you enough for making my babyboy so happy." Lori cries "Thank you so much for bringing such a big smile on his face everyday." She says. I nod as tears roll down my cheeks "I love you so much. Your like my own daughter." She smiles. I smile back "Your like my second mother and always will be." I say. I hug Lori "I love you so much Mia." She says as i cry into her shoulder "I love you too Lori." I say as i pull away and wipe my tears. Lori looks at Hayes "My amazing little nephew. I love you so much and you are just like Carl and Mia. So strong and brave, and you will make this world too." Lori tells Hayes. "You make me so proud Hayes.Your such a good boy. " she says. He smiles "I love you Aunt Lori." He says and hugs her "I love you too Hayes. I love you so much" She says. Hayes pulls away and Lori takes a deep breath in.Carl hugs Lori "My sweet boy your the best thing i ever did and i love you." Lori cries. Carl broke down as he hugged his mother one last time and kisses her cheek. I looked at mom who was crying just as bad as Carl, Hayes, Lori and I. Carl pulled away and Lori took in a deep breath. "Im ready" Lori says. Carl sorta hid his face in my shoulder quickly and i placed one of my hands on the back of his head "It's okay baby. It's gonna be okay." i say and kiss his head. "Maggie when this is over you have to do it it cant be Rick." Lori says referring to shooting her in the head. Carl whipped his eyes. Lori took a deep breath in as Maggie pulled Lori's shirt up. "Goodnight Loves. I love you so much." Lori says then mom places the knife on Lori's stomach and drags it across her stomach. Lori started screaming "No! Stop." Carl says as Lori continued to scream and cry in pain. "Stop it your killing her!" Carl yells. I pull his face into my chest as he clings on to me "Don't look Carl" i whisper as i shake my head "Don't look." I say as i cry. Lori's screams and cries came to a stop and i started crying really bad as Carl balled my shirt up in his fist. "Mia put your hands in her stomach to keep it open so i can get the baby." Mom says. I nod "Come on baby you gotta move." I say as i slowly lift Carl's head up. He sits up as he tires to catch his breath from crying. I helped keep Lori's stomach open as mom grabbed the baby. The baby didn't make a sound "No. Come on." Mom says as she lightly pats the baby's back. I pulled my hands away from Lori's stomach as the baby started to cry. The baby was alive and okay. Thank god. Hayes was now by Carl "It's gonna be okay man. It's...... it's gonna be okay." Hayes tells Carl as they both continued to cry. Mom looked at me with a smile "Its a girl. She had a baby girl at.." Mom stops and looks at her watch "12:36 P.M. Lori Grimes had her babygirl." Mom says. I smile lightly as i stare at the beautiful baby girl. Carl looked at her and slightly smiled at as he sniffled. "She's beautiful." he whispers with a smile. I smile "She is." i say as i grab his hand "She truly is." Carl smiles at me then looks at his mother who was laying on the cold ground, turning cold herself. "Here." Carl says as he takes off his jacket and hands it to momma. She wraps the baby in the jacket and stands up "We gotta go." she says as the baby still lightly cries. We all stand up "We can't just leave her to turn!" Carl says. Mom knows "I know so your gonna have to hold the baby and ill-" Mom says and Carl cuts her off. "No. Shes my mother...... I wanna do it." Carl says. "Carl you don't have to." Hayes says. "Ill do it if you want." Hayes tells Carl. Carl shakes his head "You can stay but I want to do it." Carl says. Mom nods "Ill be by the door." Mom says and walks towards the door. Carl pulled put his gun "Carl, baby you don't have to be the one to do it." I tell him. Carl nods "I know but i want to." He says. Hayes places a hand on Carl's shoulder. I grabbed the hand Carl wasn't using to shot Lori to make sure she didn't turn. Carl closed his eyes "Im sorry." he whispers. He opens his eyes and pulled the trigger. The sound of a gun firing rang throughout the air. I squeezed Carl's hand as the bullet went through Lori's head.I squeezed Carl's hand agin and he squeezed mine back as tears silently fell down his cheeks. Carl shook his head "Lets..... lets just go." he whispers to me. I nod and look at Hayes "We should go find mom." i tell him. Hayes nods as Carl lets go of my hand and runs out of the room quickly. Thats when i let it all out. The tears really came because it finally fully set in. Lori is dead. She just died right in front of us, and we had to watch Carl shot her. "He's never gonna be the same agin Hayes. This is gonna fucking scar him for life he just had to shot his mother!" i cry. Hayes hugs me "I know. It's gonna be okay though. Come on Aunt Lori wanted us to be strong so we have to okay?" Hayes says. I nod "Okay now lets go find Carl and your mom." Hayes brings me to mom who was holding the baby. "Where..... where is he?" I ask as sniffle. "He left." Mom says. I nod as we caught up with Carl. He was sitting on the ground with his knees pulled up to his chest. I squatted down next to him "We gotta go babyboy." I whisper as i rub my hand up and down his arm. Carl stared at the ground then slowly nodded. We stood up and walked outside back to the basketball court as the baby started to cry. "We gotta find them!" Rick says. He looks at us with Pawpaw, Nanny, Glenn, Daryl, and two of the prisoners. Rick looked at us shocked as we got closer. "Where...... where is she?" Rick asks as he looks at us. I started crying and so did mom "Im so sorry" I apologize because i felt bad. "Im so sorry." i repeat as i cry. Rick walked over to Carl as he started to cry "Awwe no" Rick cries. I hid my face in Carl's chest as i cried and Carl hugged me as i cried with him. I felt Carl's tears hit my shirt as he cried and Rick fell to the floor in a fit of tears. Glenn ran over to mom and carefully hugged her since she was holding the baby. The baby started crying more "Carl can you hold her for a moment?" Mom asks. Carl quickly nods as he wipes his tears. He pulls away from me and takes his new little sister into his arms. He smiled at her and i smiled at them. It made me cry more but these were happy tears because the way Carl looked at her was just so special and it was just adorable. I walk up to him and smile at them. "What are we gonna feed her" Daryl asks as Rick sits on the ground just staring at it. "Let me see her." Pawpaw says. Carl brings the new unnamed baby to my grandfather. "She looks healthy but we need formula and soon or she wont make it." Pawpaw explains. "Okay ill go" Daryl says. "Me too," momma says. "Same." Glenn says. "Can i come too?" I ask. Carl looks at me "Mia please no." Carl begs. I look at Carl then nod "Never uh..... never mind im gonna stay here." i say. Mom nods "Yeah thats probably best." mom says I nod as i see Carl hand the baby to Nanny. Rick stands up as he grabs his ax and runs towards where me, Carl, Momma, and Hayes came out with the baby "Uncle Rick no!" Hayes calls out but it was too late. Rick was already long gone. I walk up to him and hug him.I looked up at Carl as he let me go and ran inside the prison. "Carl.." i call out. He ran inside and i ran after him. I heard him yelling and crying so i ran up there to find him crying in the corner of his cell. "I was so fucking mean to her. I was so mean and now shes fucking gone. Shes gone and shes never coming back." Carl cries. I sit down next to him and he automatically clings onto me. He hid his face in my chest as he cried more "Shhh it's okay Carl. She forgave you. She is still with us and she loves you so much babyboy." I tell Carl as i cry myself. I pull Carl away from me as i get that feeling. Carl looked at me concerned. "Wh-what?" He asks worryingly as i continue to cry. I shake my head and run out of his cell and into the bathroom. Carl followed close behind and i threw up in the toilet. I started crying more as i threw up a few more times. Carl held my hair back and rubbed my back with his hand. "You need to stop crying Mia your gonna get yourself even more sick." Carl says as he wipes my mouth with a towel. "Can we just go lay down?" Carl asks. I nod slowly as i stand up. "Im sorry im crying so much. It's just she meant a lot to me too and i know you should be crying more then me and i should be taking care of you so im sorry" I apologize. Carl shakes his head "Baby it means a lot to me that my family means this much too you. Don't be sorry for caring. Plus were dating. Were suppose to help each other no matter what." Carl tells me as i wipe his tears away. We walked up to my cell and Carl shoved his face in my pillow. I started to go to the top bunk but Carl grabbed my arm "Please. I need you." Carl begs. I nod and lay down next to him. He had his back facing me so i snuggled my back into his face as i wrapped my arms around his waist. Carl placed his hands on mine and rubbed my hands with his. "Promise me something." Carl whispers as i kiss his back. "Hmm?" I ask. "Promise me you'll never leave me?" Carl asks. I nod "I promise. Do you promise?" I ask. Carl nods "I promise." he tells me. I nod and stand up. "Lets get you changed into some comfy clothes." i say. I run to Carl's room and grab him a t-shirt with some sweatpants. I go back to my cell and Carl was staring at the top of the bunk. I grabbed his hand and pulled him up. "Come on Carl i know you don't like changing in front of me because your insecure but I'm your girlfriend so get over it. You are a very very handsome boy that i love dearly." i say as i take his shirt off for him. Carl sighs as he unbuckles his pants and I grab my clothes. I grabbed one of Carl's t-shirts that he gave me and some cotton shorts. I changed into my clothes and when i turned around i saw Carl watching me. I blushed a little and so did he "Sorry" Carl whispers in embarrassment. I smile as i laid down next to him "Don't be. It's starting to get a little expected." i tell him. "Want me to play with your hair? I know how it makes you less tense and stressed." i say. Carl nods "Please babygirl." Carl says as he sighs. I started raking my hands through Carl's hair and noticed his eyes starting to get watery. I frown "Babyboy get some sleep." I whisper. Carl closes his eyes then opens them quickly. "Whats wrong?" I ask. Carl wraps his arms around my waist "Im just scared your gonna leave." Carl says. I shake my head "Im not going anywhere Carl" i reassure him. Carl closes his eyes agin as i start to hum to him. "I love you so fucking god damn much Mia." Carl says. I smile "And i love you too so fucking god damn mu h Carl." I says and kiss Carl's lips. "Get some rest" i whisper. Hayes slowly walked in after a while and i pressed my index finger to my lips when i start to hear Carl lightly snore. "Is he okay?" Hayes whispers. I shrug "As okay as he will ever be at this point i guess." i whisper. Hayes nods "We lost T-Dog and Carol too." Hayes says. I frown"Im just gonna go and lay down myself." Hayes whispers to me as Carl's grip on my waist tightened. I laid down next to Carl as i nod in response to what Hayes said. He leaves the room and Carl snuggles his head into my chest. I sigh in sorrow. Today we lost an angel but gained anther. It's crazy how life works that way. You lose and gain people all the time. We were thankful for the baby but we are of course are gonna miss Lori dearly. This is just anther example of what Rick told us about no more kid stuff. Carl, Hayes, and I were gonna have to grow up even faster now. My poor babyboy is gonna be so lost with out Lori. It's sad. Today we lost and gained. We lost an angel and gained an angel today at the prison, and we will always remember this day because of that.
