Months past.
Communication was the least on Odette's mind as her and Daryl drove through Georgia to Alexandria with his hand in hers.
Once they got to the gates she walked out with so much on her mind.
How could this happen?
Who could she be so stupid?
"Open the damn gates," said Daryl.
The gates opened showing the people she left months ago.
"Odette!! your back" said Judith.
She hugged Odette "Hey hunny um I need to talk to Negan and Jesus.
We can play later" said Odette pushing her away.
"Odette are you ok you look paler than a ghost," said Carol.
"Where are Negan and Jesus," said Odette.
"Im right here gorgeous, what's wrong?" said Negan.
"Can we talk?" said Odette.
"Yeah, we can talk at my house no one will be in there," said Jesus.
She met Jesus a year ago and trusted him because he seemed like the last good guy in the world.
They walked to the house with Negan holding her close feeling her shake from the anxiety.
Once they were in the house she started slowly pacing.
"Just tell em," said Daryl.
"Fuck im pregnant," said Odette with tears in her eyes.
"Really, congratulations.
I'm guessing you're the father" said Jesus looking at Daryl.
"Yea," said Daryl.
"I knew it, holy shit.
Rick said you looked at each other differently I just didn't fucking believe it.
Congratu-fuck-lations" said Negan.
"Thanks," said Daryl walking to her smiling.
"Are you staying here?" said Jesus.
"Yes, but this is why im not talking to rick about this.
I'm not staying in here pregnant or not the walkers need me.
I don't want to be belittled and I sure as hell don't want people cooing over me.
If anyone babies me I swear to god I will rip their eyes out.
Rick isn't going to know about this until I can't hide it anymore because I hate him and know him too fucking well" said Odette.
Jesus nodded and Negan smiled.
"Fuck im not ready for this, this is going to hurt like a bitch" said Odette.
"You've got a long way to go," said Jesus.
"You've got this angel," said Daryl kissing her.
"Awe ain't that just adorable," said Negan.
She kept kissing Daryl with her middle finger up to Negan causing Jesus to chuckle.

Eight months had passed and Odette was starting to feel her due date.
She laid in bed looking at the stars when she felt it.
A snap and then liquid.
"Daryl, get up we need to go to the infirmary," said Odette.
Daryl shot up looking at her.
"Come on," said Odette standing up.
Suddenly she felt the most intense pain.
She clung to the wall as she held her stomach.
"Son of a bitch, Daryl I need help.
Ow" said Odette.
Daryl picked her up like a bride.
"I got ya," said Daryl carrying her to the infirmary.
He kicked open the door and placed her on the bed.
"Daryl gah, you have to do it," said Odette.
"Nah, im no doctor," said Daryl.
"Darling, you can do this," said Odette.
"Nah," said Daryl.
"Get Negan and Jesus.
I'll be fine" said Odette.
"Fuck" said Daryl walking out of the infirmary.
She laid there with her arm covering her eyes.
"What the hell is my life?" said Odette.
