Pregnancy (based on the walking dead

author's note:
Just imagine Carl doesn't exist and that Paddy is the group leader's son.

for the past few days, i have been having the weirdest events.

first, i kept vomiting, but im not sick. second, my appetite is bigger than my usual and I've been craving a lot of weird food. Third, i felt like there is something on my lower stomach. Most importantly, i missed my period..

I asked Maggie for help and she told me that i should get pregnancy tests. I denied it at first because it sounded ridiculous knowing how young i am, but i eventually agreed.

I sat inside the bathroom, anxiously waiting for the results. I held the test in my shaking hands as sweat builds upon my temple. I waited and waited until the pregnancy test showed two pink lines.

I'm pregnant

I began cursing out loud as i tried to hold back my tears, continuously running a hand threw my hair anxiously. Sweat rolled down my forehead and i threw the test in the trash before holding my head in my hands, telling myself that this couldn't be happening.

When i was little, i always imagined myself to be a loving and caring mother to my children in the right time and age. At the age of 18, i got pregnant by the group leader's son.

Of course, i am excited to be a mother, but what would Paddy think? Its also his baby and were sure to do it in the first place, but what if he doesn't want the baby? I couldn't live with that. Plus, the chances of me dying while giving birth were high, considering what happened to lori and the world.

I love Paddy with all my heart and i know that he loves me as much as i do. Our child is the representation of our love for each other.

My breath hitched in my throat a knock was heard on the bathroom door, followed by Paddy's voice, which is laced with concern and worry.

"Y/n? are you in there?"

Shit, shit, shit, shit!

"Y/n, are you ok? Is there something wrong? What happened?"

I began to panic in the small room, trying to formulate a plan in my head, but unfortunately, nothing came. Giving up, i slid my back down the wall and brought my knees up to my chest.

The door burst open and Paddy came in with a look of worry plastered in his features. He immediately wrapped his arms around my figure when he saw me on the floor, crying.

He rested my head on his chest, stroking my hair comfortingly and rocked our bodies back and forth. "shhh, its ok," Paddy cooed. "please tell me what's wrong, it hurts me to see you like this." I handed him the pregnancy test without looking him in the eye, feeling too afraid and guilty.

Paddy's eyes were as wide as plates. he looked between me and the test in his hands, in disbelief.

"Y/n, i—"

"I know, you're breaking up with me and leaving me because im pregnant." I tried my best not to break down in front of him. "Its alright. I guess i can take care if the baby myself."

"Why would you think that?" He asked. I raised my head up to look at Paddy and see if he was joking or not, but he wasn't. "I would never leave you. you mean too much to me and after all that you've done for me, you think that i would leave you for being pregnant? Nonsense." He then embraced me in a gentle hug. I sighed in relief and hugged him back, "thank you."

"Its my duty as the father if our child," he said, smiling and placing a hand on my stomach.

"just wait until little Paddy or little Y/n will be born, judith will be so happy and—"

"woah there, mister. You have to wait 9 months for that to happen"

Paddy muttered a soft 'sorry' and kissed my forehead before he dragged me to announce the good news to everyone.

WOAH THAT TOOK LOOOOONNGGG BUT I HOPE YOU ENJOYED❤️
