The Walsh's (UNDER EDITING)

Season 2 ~ Chapter 13

I knew that look Shane's face all too well. He was ready to murder someone and by someone I mean Rick. "Are you kidding me?" he snapped at Rick about march over to him but I wrapped my hands around his bicep and pulled him back. "Calm down." I whispered as Rick stood stunned by the group's reaction. T-Dog helped Rick escort our prisoner to the tool shed before Shane could do anything whilst the rest of us congregated inside the house. We all stood/sat in a circle, Rick standing at the head of it and constantly starring at me whilst explaining the situation. I began to feel extremely uncomfortable, his ice cold blue eyes locking with mine and piercing into my soul. I buried my face into Shane's side in an attempt to avoid Rick's stare, Shane wrapped his powerful and protective arm around my shoulders, holding me closer. "Rick, quit starring at her. Your making her uncomfortable." snapped Shane rubbing up and down my forearm.

Rick just continued talking, completely ignoring Shane's request, I could feel Shane's muscle tense in his arm as he formed fist. Before he could do or say anything, Daryl stepped forward with glare aimed at Rick. "Leave her be man, we're all a little on edge and you starring at her, ain't helping." he growled deeply causing Rick to pause. I stood up straight again and looked at the two men standing head to head with each other. "For fuck sake, the two of you stop. This isn't about me, it's about whoever Rick just brought back!" I snapped making Daryl back down and slink back in between Cody and Isabella. The whole room fell silent, all eyes trained on me as Rick continued his explanation. Shane wasn't buying it, "look at this folks, we're back in fairy land." he stated sarcastically making me laugh. "You know we haven't even discuss what you did at my barn yet, so do everyone a favour and shut up." snapped Hershel.

Shane stormed out, Jason quick to follow his daddy leaving me to take everyone's stares. "My husband did what was necessary at the barn, so leave him alone." I said following Shane, my hips swaying from side to side as I left...

A few days later... (18 Miles Out)

After the prisoner's leg healed up, we took him out to release him. At first it was Rick and Shane going out alone but I managed to convince Rick to let me come. I knew exactly what would happen if these two were left alone. The car ride was silent for the most part, I was in the back whilst Rick and Shane sat up front and Randall (the prisoner) was in the trunk. Rick would occasionally look at me through the rear view mirror but would just as quickly avert his eyes away. All of a sudden Rick stopped the car leaving both me and Shane confused. "Why we stopped? I thought we were going futher out." I asked, "yeah 18 miles or so but I gotta talk to Shane so just stay in the car Kat." replied Rick stepping out the car.

"Do I just sit in the car?" I asked Shane earning a smirk from him, "if it gets a little too aggressive, then yes leave the car." he said planting a kiss on my lips and exiting the car.

It became kind of boring watching them argue over me and the safety of the group, that's right Kate Walsh can read lips, quite a useful skill. I could see red in both their eyes but none of them made a move for each other meaning I stayed in the car. Rick went round to the trunk and Shane sat himself back in the passenger seat. "Nice conversation babe?" I asked, Shane picking up on my sarcasm and spinning round in his seat. "You heard that? Really?" he asked in denial. "No, I can read lips remember." I replied leaving Shane with a slight smirk forming on his lips.

Rick jumped back in and we continued our journey. "We're a little over 18 miles bro." I said but I was ignored (of course). Instead Rick turned into an old abandoned high school where two walkers greeted us at the gate. "I'll deal with it." I said stepping out of the car with my knife in hand. Shane followed, gun present just in case of emergency but the walkers weren't a problem. Rick marched over with Randal and we stepped inside the school grounds. A few abandoned buses, plenty of litter and a pile of burned walker bodies made up the wonderful scenery. "Can we just dump the kid and get going?" I asked, "yeah, that's probably best." replied Rick. The look of surprise stuck to my face as my brother had finally acknowledged my presence and agreed with me. Shane chuckled at me and then decided to help Rick move the prisoner into the middle of the yard.

I'm not entirely sure how this fight started, actually I am. My husband had an idea and my brother didn't agree. Now they were punching, kicking, throwing motorcycles on each other and rugby tackling each other. "Guys! This is so not the place!" I yelled trying to pull Rick from Shane but I was pushed off and shoved into a car. So, the fight continued to the point where Shane threw a wrench at Rick, missed wildly and instead smashed a window. He took a moment, looked at his blood cover face in the mirror and then disaster struck. Walkers began pouring out the window, Rick pulled a dead one over himself for protection and I ducked under a car. Shane, oh yeah, Rick left him for fucking walker bait!! After a few stragglers pasted me, I got up and looked around for Shane. He was trapped on one of the buses with about two dozen walkers pounding at the door.

"Shit." I mumbled looking around for a solution. Instead I found Rick making a break for the car with Randal. "Son of a bitch." I groaned, sprinting in his direction, hoping to catch him. I did.

"Rick! Rick! Where are you going?!"

"Back to camp."

The look of shock written on my face at his words.

"What about my husband?!"

"I told you Kat, he's too dangerous for you or Jason to be around."

"Oh yeah. Says the man that had his nephew pointing a gun at his head a couple days ago!!"

I was so angry, I didn't have words, I was seeing red and ready for a fight.

"That was different! Shane murdered a man!"

"I don't care!! That is the man I love and the father of my children!! Now, get your ass back there and save him!!!"

Rick was angry as well and only because I wasn't agreeing with him but I really couldn't care.

"The man you love!! What about Daryl?! Or did you just play the slut game for a while!!"

Did he just call me what I think he did? I punched him and pinned him to a wall. "You dare call me that. I don't regret any of my decisions in life. I've got three beautiful children and another on the way!! Now, unless I have to explain why only me and the kid came back, go get my HUSBAND!!" I screamed causing a look of fear to spread across his face. We jumped in the car and turned it around. I grabbed my AK47 and stuck my head out the back window. I began shooting walkers down, left, right and center. "Get to the back!!!" I shouted and Shane sprinted to the back of the bus, kicked the emergency door down and slid in the back seats with me.

I threw my arms around his neck as we lay across the back seats, me almost in tears and him trying to regain his breath. "Are you ok?" I asked still nuzzling into his neck. "Yeah... babe... I'm... fine." he said trying to get deep breathes in. I squeezed him tighter and Shane glared at Rick, anytime he looked at us through the rear view mirror.

I almost lost Jason, Daryl got shot and now Shane nearly died at the hands of my brother.

Could life get any worse??
