Rory, 6 weeks later

a/n: like I said many times before, and I'm gonna say it again. I know nothing about pregnancy or birth, so don't take my word on it, it will NOT be accurate, and will probably be bad😭

I winced as I sat up in the bed. Lately when I woke up my back was hurting more. I placed a hand on my stomach, feeling how active the twins were being lately.

I pull myself up off the mattress with small groan before walking to the kitchen. I seen Lori sitting at the table, Carl sitting across from her.

"Carl, honey. Go scoop some snow up in this." Lori handed him a pot. Since it started to snow, we've been scooping up as much as we could to boiling it and do things like laundry, washing up, and drinking water.

"Ok." He took the pot from her hands and walked out of the room. I sat down in the empty chair uncomfortably.

"How you feeling?" Lori asked me, looking down to my bulging belly.

"My back hurts, everything hurts." I let out a painful sigh, trying to get comfortable, which was also hard lately.

"You should go lay back down, get rest." She pointed back out to the living room. We had taken out most of the stuff in there, leaving the couch and beds we brought down.

Last month Rick decided to start using the fire place to warm up the house. Daryl was out right now, gathering up firewood. Glenn, Maggie, Rick and T-dog were out scavenging.

Carol was watching the back while Hershel and Beth sat watching the front. Carl walked into the room with a pot of snow.

"I'm going to lay down." I rubbed my swollen belly as I walked to the living room, stopping when I felt something run down my leg. I look down to see my pants all wet.

"Uh, Lori?" I turn around and look at her with a worried look on my face.

"Oh fuck! Fuck!" She rushes over to me. I gasp and hunch over in pain when I feel a contraction hit me.

"Hershel!" She grabbed my hand and led me out to the living room.

"What's wrong?"

"She's having a baby... two babies!" Carl shouts and I cry in pain.

"Lets get her on the bed." He pointed over to the bed in the corner, one that me and Daryl have been occupying.

He tore the blanket off of it, leaving the pillows. Lori led me over to the bed. I slowly sat down and placed my back against the pillow.

"Lets get her pants off."

Carol had come into the room, hearing all the commotion. "I'll get a wet rag."

"Rory, honey, we gotta get your pants off." Lori came up beside me. I nodded, giving her permission to take them off.

Beth sat down on the right side of me, closest to the wall. She held my hand, Carl stood up by my head next to Lori, who was sat on my left side.

"Here, put that on her head." Carol came back with a wet rag. Lori folded it up a little before placing it on my forehead. The coolness calming my nerves a little bit.

"I want Rick." Tears stream down my face as pain ripples through my body.

"I know honey, I know. He'll be here soon." Lori cooed.

"Please, please make it stop." I said, to no one in particular.

"She's only 5 centimeters dilated." Hershel shook his head. He covered me up with the blanket, making me less vulnerable.

I sucked in a breath and squeezed Beth's hand. I shifted uncomfortably in my spot. Just then the door flung open and in walked Daryl with a pile of wood.

"What's going on?" He sat the pile down before coming over to me.

"She went into labor." Lori told him. His eyes widened and he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Can I do anything?"

"Sit with me, please?" I cried. I had Lori move, because for some reason Beth being next to me was comforting. Daryl sat in Lori's old spot and I gripped his hand.

"You're doing good." Daryl said quietly into my ear. I squeezed his hand tightly.

"I really want Rick." I groan as my back aches in pain.

"Rory, I know honey. I'm looking for him." Lori said, heading towards the window. I felt a lot of pressure and I felt the need to push.

"Hershel, Hershel, I really need to push." I gasp and squeeze Daryl's hand. I hear him wince from beside me.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I look up at him.

"You're doing great, you're fine." He wraps his arm around me and pulls me to him. I feel as he plants a small kiss on my head.

Woah.

"Rory, you can't push yet. You aren't to 10 centimeters." Hershel shakes his head.

"How many centimeters am I?"

"Eight, you're eight centimeters." I feel my legs twitch and I moan in discomfort.

"Rory, they're back." I hear Lori's voice. But I was more focused on breathing with Beth.

"In, and out." She said softly to me.

"We were gone for two hours." I hear Rick's voice say with panic.

"Well, she went into labor." Lori says and throws her hands down.

"Ok, ok. It's ok." He said, sounded like he was trying to calm himself down.

"Rick, please." I call out for him. He makes his way over to the bed.

"I'll be over there, ok." Beth said and I nodded. Rick took her place. I leaned into him, and he rubbed my back up and down.

"Rory, you're ready to push." Hershel said. I shook my head.

"I- I can't."

"Yes, you can. I'm right here." daryl whispered to me. I let out a small sob.

"Maggie, get blankets ready, someone warm up water" Hershel ordered. "Rory, honey. We gotta do this now." He said.

"Ok, ok." I nodded. I gently laid myself down more, getting into position.

"On the count of three, push, don't stop till I tell you to." I nodded in agreement.

"One... two... three." I scream out as I use all my strength to push.

"Stop." I take in a deep breath, throwing my head against the pillow.

"Push." I repeated the action over again, stoping when I felt the pressure go down.

"It's a girl." I cry I as hear the screams of my baby girl. But then I remembered I had to do this again.

"One more to go, you ready." I nod, wanting to get this over with.

"Push." I squeeze both Daryl and Rick's hands and clench my eyes. That continues for a couple of minutes before my second baby is born.

"Another girl." I close my eyes and let out a deep breath.

"My babies, I want my babies." I pat ricks chest. I sit up and watch as Maggie brings one of them over.

"Carol is washing up baby number two." She hands her down to me. Her cries instantly die down as I place her on my chest.

"Rory." Carol walks into the room with the second one. I take her from Carol's hands and hold her in my opposite arm.

"You got names?" Rick asks softy and I nod.

"Baby number one is Everest Louise, first name credit to Carl and baby number two is Elowen Dahlia ." I smile down at them. They're perfect.

THEY'RE HERE, baby evie and ellie are here🥹
