Eloise,Carl,mom and I walked out into the yard, it was nice at the prison, we also saw Beth and hershel walking out too, hershel had gotten better from getting his leg amputated, he now used crutches to walk around, I smiled at them as they smiled back, I held my stuffed bunny close in my hand as I always did, it was a peaceful moment, until we heard groaning and snarling.

Beth, Eloise and hershel ran to one door as we started shooting ar the walkers,Maggie grabbed me as Carl,mom,Maggie and I ran to another door, I could hear dad yelling as we closed the door, we ran though the hallways, we turned a corner to see multiple walkers stumbling towards us, we started running again as I could hear mom groaning behind me, "mom are you ok?" I ask her as she puts her hand on her belly, "yeah" she responds weakly, we all run into a room as we border up the door, I had realised that moms water had broke, she was going into labour now, Carl and I stood back as Maggie helped mom, I squeezed my stuffed animal in my hand tighter as I heard mom scream, Maggie's hand was covered in blood, I gasped, did the baby die? "She has to have a c-section" maggie told us, my eyes widened as Carl handed her his knife, we sat down next to mom, "babies I don't want you to be sad ok" she told us as she stroked our faces "this is what I want, take care of your daddy and your sister for me alright" tears started forming in my water lining making it hard to see, "and your little sister or brother"
"You don't have to do this" Carl sobbed
You are going to beat this world, I know you will, you are smart and you are strong and you are so brave and I love yous" she spoke "you gotta do what's right, promise me you will all ways do what's right" she pulled us into a hug as we cried, "I love you mommy" I whispered to her as my voice cracked "I love you darling" she replied.

"Now when I turn you have to do it, it can't be rick" mom tells us, she held onto both our hands as she whispered the thing she would always tell us "good night loves"
Maggie started cutting her open as she screamed, I covered my ears and squeezed my eyes shut and tears streamed down my face, I held onto my bunny as I felt two arms around me, it was Carl, he was crying aswell, after a while I opened my eyes, the second I saw my dead mother my eyes welled up with tears again, I couldn't look at her now, Maggie grabbed my hand, "come on sweetie, we'll wait outside" maggie told me in a soft voice she's also having tears in her eyes, I got up as she hugged me and we walked outside, a few seconds later a loud bang, Carl walked out with no emotion, we made it back outside the door where we came in, everything happened so quickly, a few minutes ago we were all happy with mom now she wasn't with us, Maggie, Carl and I walked out the door, dad started walking over he started looking around for mom, I felt hot tears fall down my face again as I came to the realisation someone had to tell dad, Maggie opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out.

dad looked at the blood covered child in Maggie's hands and our tear stained faces, his face dropped "no no no no" he kept repeating as he started crying, he walked over to Carl and i, Carl was staring at the ground with tears in his eyes, "aw no no no" dad seid as he collapsed to the ground crying, Eloise walked over to us as she wrapped her arms around me, "I'm so sorry" she whispered as I cried, she went to hug Carl too but he just started walking away, "he just needs time, he had to make sure she didn't come back" I tell Eloise softly as she looked me sympathetically.
