Keep Watch

(Jasper's POV)

I'm sleeping soundly until something pulls on my foot aggressively, causing me to fall off my bed. "Ow, what the fuck." I groan.

"Get up. We're going on a town run." Cooper stands over me, already dressed. "Ugh, fine. Just let me get dressed. And shut up, you're gonna wake Noah."

He nods and leaves, shutting the door. I stand up and walk over to my dresser. "You're leaving?" A groggily voice says. I glance back over to my bed to see Noah wiping the sleep from his face.

"Uh, yeah. I'm not sure why but Cooper wants me to run to town with him." I shrug while changing my shirt. Noah just nods and glances at the alarm clock. 7:36.

"Maybe he wants to go get stuff for Lexi... maybe she mentioned that she might be pregnant." He wonders. "Could be." I mumble while switching out my pants.

I take a glance in the mirror and style my hair messily with my hands. I glance over at Noah again who rubs the back of his neck. "I told Lexi. I mean she asked about it first but... yeah.

My face turns a bit surprised as I take a seat next to him. "That's great. She wasn't mad?"

"No, of course she wasn't. She's Lexi. And of course her first instinct was to try and ask me about it which... no." He laughs a little bit.

I just smile before remembering that I have a time limit. "We'll be back before you know it. I can't try anything stupid because Cooper will set me straight. We'll be fine." I reassure.

"I'm not worried, Jasper. Just come back in one piece." He smiles.

"Jasper! Hurry up!" Cooper shouts from outside the door. I stand up quickly and slip on my boots. "See you later. I love you." I rush while kissing his face and booking it out the door.

Time skip~

(Cooper's POV)

Jasper and I had drove around for a bit until we found a little town with a beat up pharmacy. There are more biters than expected, but if we're sneaky then we'll be fine.

We pull up to the back of the pharmacy slowly and come to a stop. "We need to be in and out. No messing around, no grabbing things we don't need."

"I'm not a little kid. You don't need to tell me that every time y'know?" We hop out of the car quietly and grab our weapons. Biters weren't really by the pharmacy at all. As long as we're careful, we'll be fine.

There's a back door to the pharmacy, just in front of where we parked. Convenient. We didn't need to shove it open, because it was already unlocked. I creak the door open slowly, which reveals a storage room in the back of the pharmacy. Another door is seen once we step inside which leads to behind the front counter.

"Jasper, I'm going to cover you but I need you to get something." I whisper. He rolls his eyes and nods. "I need a few different pregnancy tests."

Jasper widens his eyes. "She was serious?!" He whisper shouts. I nudge him a bit to quiet him down. "Yes. Now you go and I'll keep an eye out."

Jasper rolls his eyes once again but sneaks out of the door leading to behind the counter. He glances over it a bit before standing up completely. Must be no biters.

(Jasper's POV)

After peeking above the counter, I stand up completely. No point in sneaking around when no biters are inside. I jump over the counter and instantly head toward the feminine products section.

The tests were a bit hard to find at first. After spotting them I grab a few like Cooper had said. I guess more than one brand then. It would be crazy if Lexi ended up being knocked up. I mean, how would they even raise-

A sudden noise across the pharmacy interrupts my thoughts. I shove the tests in my leather jacket pockets and walk a little bit towards where I heard the sound.

Nothing. An item must've fallen. I decide to head back to Cooper.

Just as I'm turning around, something shoves me roughly. Within seconds I'm pinned to the ground and struggling. I manage to push the creature with my arms a bit to get a better look at it's face.

A biter.

I expected this, no doubt. It's snarling was getting pretty loud though. I glance out of the pharmacy's doors to see a few biters walking towards the noise.

Shit.

Cooper, you aren't really helping me out with this. Motherfucker.

I manage to grab for my knife right as a few biters walk through the doors. Before any of them can spot me, I stab the biter in the head. It still lays on top of me and I can barely move.

I hear the biters get closer.

COOPER GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE RIGHT NOW.

I don't move. Just when I think that I'm their next dinner, they walk passed me. Huh?

They wander around a bit as I think to myself. Why would they not-

I take a glance at the biter crushing me again. They must not be able to smell my flesh because I'm covered in the undead..

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Cooper sneaking around the counter. He was obviously aware of the biters' presence. I try to signal him for help but I can still barely move.

Cooper looks around everywhere for me. I can feel the worry growing from under this nasty beast. Once the biters are wandered off farther in the store, I whisper shout to Cooper.

"Cooper! Help me right now!"

His head snaps my way and he sprints up to me, shoving the biter off. "You were supposed to be keeping watch-"

Cooper cuts me off with a large hug. I wasn't expecting this at all actually. Last time I hugged Cooper was after our dad died.

"Damn, I thought you were- never mind." He grunts. We both stand up and glance around once again before sprinting back to the back door.

We hop in the car and Cooper starts the engine. "You got the tests, right?" I nod. "A total of six preggo tests." I grin.

Cooper nods and drives us away from the town.

A/N- I hope y'all enjoyed some brotherly town runs🥺 I love them <333
