Surviving

Chapter ten

My eyes flutter open. I feel the warm morning sun on my face. I look over and see Carl is still sleeping. I slide out of the bed trying not to wake up Carl. I remove my dirty, blood stained clothes and throw them in the corner of the room. I pick up Carl's shirt and put it on. I look at him and see he is still asleep so I walk out of the room and down the stairs. I walk into the kitchen to see Rick and Michonne sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal. I walk to the cabinet and grab a bowl. When I turn around I see Rick and Michonne staring at me. "What?" I ask sitting down. "Nothing." rick says smirking. "So. What did you and Carl do after we went to sleep?" michonne asks with a smirk of her own on her face. "Nothing. I got him back in the bed and we went to sleep." I say pouring a bowl of cereal for myself. "Mhm. Why do you have my son's shirt on?" rick asks putting his spoon down. My face grows hot. "Well you see. Last night before we went to sleep Carl got hot so he took his shirt off. Then this morning I put it on because my clothes were dirty and stuff." I say hoping he doesn't take it wrong. "He still has his pants on right?" he says teasing me. I get up and walk away. "I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not." I say teasing rick this time. He gets up from the table and walks upstairs to the room Carl and I slept in last night. I hear the door burst open. "Get up boy." I hear rick command. I start laughing and Michonne stares at me smiling. "Dad. Leave." I can barely hear Carl reply. "What did you do with Ashlyn last night?" I hear Rick shout. I run up the stairs and walk up behind Rick. I wink at Carl and he starts smirking. "Oh we just did some stuff." he replies looking at me. "What kind of stuff?" rick replies with a worried tone in his voice. I look at Carl and give him a nod. "Like sleeping dad." he says laughing. "You have your pants on?" he asks worried looking around the room. "Yes I do." carl replies pulling the covers back to reveal them. "You do know he could have put them back on. If he had them off." I say walking to the bed to help Carl downstairs. "Did he?" rick asks looking at me with wide eyes. "No. He had them on the whole night. I promise." i say walking out of the room with Carl leaning on my shoulder. Rick helps me get Carl down the stairs and to the kitchen. We sit him down at the table and I put a bowl in front of him and pour him some cereal. I decide to sit down and finish mine. After we finish eating I help carl to the couch. I sit down next to him but Rick picks me up and moves me aside. He sits down in between Carl and me looking satisfied. I get up and move to the other side of Carl. He puts his arm around me the best he can as Rick watches. I put my head o his shoulder and Rick looks like he is about to attack us. Carl looks down and plants his lips on mine. Rick looks to Michonne for help but she just shrugs her shoulders. I place my head across Carl's lap. Rick gets up and walks away frustrated. Carl just looks at him as he walks away and laughs. "You two are being separated tonight." rick says pointing at us. "Yeah ok." carl says rolling his eyes. "We need more supplies. I suggest Ashlyn and I go on a run together. I think we need to talk." rick says. "Okay. We can go in a few minutes." I say sitting up. "No now." rick says throwing the supply bag at me. "Okay let's go then. Bye Carl." I say as Rick shuts the door behind me.
