Mia's P.O.V.

Today mom woke Carl and I up so we could go help her distract walkers at the gate while Daryl Michonne and Glenn worked in the field and Hayes and Nanny watched Judith. We were yelling and banging pots together. "Hey! Hey over here!" I yell as I bang two pots together. We were just yelling and banging pots as the walkers clung onto the fence and wishing they could get to us. "Come on! Over here!" Carl yells as he bangs on the pots. "Hey! Over here!" We repeatedly yelled at the walkers. Wind blew in and it was freezing. Perks of it getting closer and closer to winter right? Wrong. "Gosh dang it it's getting cold." i say as I shiver and bang on the pots. Carl stops and puts his pots down. He takes his jacket off "Here babe i don't want you getting sick." Carl tells me. "No! You need it." I shake my head. "I have long sleeve you don't. Come on just put it on for me please." Carl begs. I sigh and give in, putting Carl's big warm jacket on. Carl zips up the jacket over the bullet proof vest Rick now made Carl and I wear pretty much every time we go outside on me then kisses the tip of my nose "They're done we can go now." Mom tells us. We grab our pots and walk to the basketball court where everyone was. Carl shivered as the wind blew "Carl please take it back!" Carl shake his head "No were going inside now Im fine." he nods as everyone walked inside. As we walked into the prison the air was only a slight bit warmer. I took of Carl's jacket and hand it to him "Put it on now." I demand as I run to my cell. I grab the jacket Carl gave me for my birthday right before this all started. His smell was still on it since it was once his. The jacket was still big on me, it was still comfortable, still soft, it still smelled like him like i said before,it was still....perfect. I smile as I zip it up and take my gun out of my holster. I place it on the little nightstand Glenn got me for my cell. Carl walks into my cell and smiles once he sees the jacket. "Baby.....you kept this?" Carl asks. I nod with a big smile "Still such a perfect jacket. Comfortable, big, soft, has your scent that I love." I wrap my arms around my self and Carl kisses my cheek "Im glad you liked your birthday present so much." Carl says as he wraps his arms around my waist. He slides his hands onto my hips then one down to my leg. Carl grabs my empty holster "Where the hell is your gun?" Carl asks angrily. "I just took it out and placed it on the nightstand. Why?" I ask. Carl lets me go then walks towards the nightstand. He grabs my gun harshly "You keep this on you at all fucking times. Do you hear me?" Carl asks. "We have someone after us Mia! You need to have this on you at all times! Do you understand?" Carl asks me like I'm a five year old. "Carl were inside im fine-" Carl cuts me off "No your not! We have no clue when The Governor will attack or if he will be able to get into the prison! Just fucking listen to me and keep it on you please Mia!" Carl shouts at me. I looked at him shocked.I didn't understand the big deal about me not having a gun on me inside, but I still took the gun not wanting to cause anther fight between us like yesterday. Carl sighed "I just want you to be protected and prepared for anything Mia. Babygirl you gotta understand. I cant lose anyone else especially you." Carl tells me as he grabs my hand in his after I put my gun in my holster. I stay silent
and squeeze Carl's hand with a nod. "It's....it's fine. You just want me safe. Thats fine" I nod. Carl sighs as he leans forward to kiss my lips. I kiss Carl back once his lips are placed onto mine. Carl let go of my hands then placed his hands on my hips. He pulls back "I love you." Carl tells me. I nod "I love you too." I press my forehead against Carl's and place my hands gently on his cheeks. Carl closed his eyes as he softly pressed his lips against mine once again. "Mia." Nanny says as she walks into my cell. I pull away from Carl and he lays his head on my shoulder. "Daddy is about to read from the bible. Maggie wants you there." Nanny tells me. I nod "Ill be there in a second." Nanny nods in response then leaves the cell. "Are you gonna come?" I ask. "You know I don't believe in the crap." Carl says. I frown "It was worth a shot." i sigh. "Why do you do it? You know believe. It's one big lie." Carl says as I pull away from him "Because God isn't a lie in my eyes Carl." I tell him simply as I walk out my cell. I run downstairs and to the little table Momma, and Nanny were sitting at. I sat down next to Momma and I joined hands with her and Nanny. "Good girl Mia." Pawpaw says with a smile. Pawpaw started reading from the bible and I saw Carl pear out of my cell and look down at us. Pawpaw stopped reading after a while. By what he was reading I could tell he was worried about us and the prison because of The Governor. Nanny placed her hand on Pawpaw's arm "You okay?" Nanny asks. Pawpaw smiles at us "What I wouldn't do to keep you three safe." Pawpaw tells us. Rick walks in and Pawpaw automatically stands up "Rick what your about to do-" Rick cuts him off "I cant and I wont." Rick says. "What were you gonna do?" I ask. "Take Michonne to The Governor." Momma explains. "What? No! Michonne is good!She helped me with Carl back at the town! She helped Carl back at the town! She made sure we were safe! She's good you cant do that!" I protest. Rick nods "I....I know thats why we wont do it." I nod at Rick. glass shattering rang through out the prison "Shit!" I hear Carl curse loudly. "Fucking hell! Ow!" Carl yells. I look at Rick and Rick looks at me "What did he do now?" Rick groans. We both run up to Carl's cell. "Carl what happened?" I ask as I see glass all over the floor. "No!No! No! Mia get out now!" Carl yells as he quickly attempts to push me out of the cell. "Carl your bleeding!" I shriek as I see Carl's hand bleeding. "I don't care get out!" Carl tells me. I push Carl off of me "Carl what is wrong?" I ask confused. "Nothing. Theres just glass everywhere and I don't want you to get hurt." i smile at Carl sweetly. "Come on babe lets go get you to PawPaw the glass cut your hand" i say as I take Carl's bleeding hand lightly. Carl hisses in pain I bite my bottom lip, "im sorry." I apologize. Carl shakes his head "Im...I'm fine kitten." Carl says as he lets a shaky breath out. "Pawpaw! Carl cut his hand badly!" I yell down stairs as I carefully guide Carl down stairs. Pawpaw walks towards us and quickly looks at Carl's hand. "thats a pretty deep cut. What happened?" Pawpawl asks. Carl looks at Pawpaw "I uh.....I dropped a picture frame and went to pick up the glass with my hands." Carl explains. "Carl you cant do that baby!" I laugh at him "Hasn't anyone ever told you not to touch broken glass?" . He smiles at little "Yes." I giggle at him. Pawpaw tells us "Were gonna clean it up. The good thing is I don't think it will need stitches." I nod "Thats good." I say. Carl bites his bottom lip "Yeah but the cleaning part will hurt like a bitch." Carl sighs. I slap his arm lightly "Mouth. We don't have to curse every five second Carl my gosh." I shake my head at Carl as Pawpaw brings me and him to a room. "Sorry." Carl frowns. "Where do you want me while Pawpaw is cleaning it?" I ask. "My lap so I can hide my face in your shoulder and squeeze the hel- i mean the heck out of your hand." Carl says. I smile "Carl I cant do that. I would be in the way." I sit Carl down on the chair that was in the infirmary where Pawpaw brought us. "I can stay right here." I say as I kneel down besides the chair. Carl grabs my hand as Pawpaw gets all the cleaning supplies. "Mia cant we just put some water over it?" Carl asks me quickly. "No baby we have to get it cleaned. It'll be okay. Look here you can hold my hand with your good hand." Carl quickly grabs my hand and keeps it in a tight grip. I kiss Carl's knuckles and he smiles lightly at me "Sorry I'm being a wuss." Carl says a little embarrassed by his actions. I giggle "Don't be sorry Carl! It's fine and incredibly adorable." I tell him. Pawpaw brings the supplies over to us and Carl grips my hand harder as I place my other hand on his leg. "Baby it's gonna be okay." I giggle as Hayes walks in. "He is scared to get it cleaned?" Hayes laughs "Pussy." Hayes says. I glare at Hayes as Carl frowns "Hayes come see." I say as I stand up. "Don't leave Mia!" Carl begs as his grip on my hand tightens. I place a hand on his cheek "It's okay I'm not going anywhere." I whisper to him. I peck Carl's lips and let go of his hand then turn towards Hayes. "He's scared it'll hurt! Leave him the hell alone you ass its adorable!" I yell as I kick Hayes's leg. Hayes falls to the ground with a groan from being in pain and I smile. "Don't talk shit about my babyboy." I growl. Carl laughs as I walk towards him and kiss his lips "Don't listen to him Carl. Your not a wuss." I tell Carl as I kiss his lips again. "Thats not what he called me." Carl says with a smirk because he wanted me to say what Hayes called him. "Im not saying what he said especially in front of my grandfather!" Carl shrugs "It was worth a try." I shake my head at Carl. "Okay Carl give me your hand." Pawpaw says. Carl looks at me with pleading eyes "Baby you have to." I tell Carl softly as Pawpaw goes to grab Carl's hand and he yanks it away. Only bringing more pain to Carl's hand as he yanked it away. "If you sitting on his lap gets him to stop yanking his hand away from mine then you have to sit on his lap. It'll take longer but it'll work." Pawpaw shrugs. "You still want me that close?" I ask Carl. He nods "Thats why I want you on my lap, so your close because I always feel better during any situation whenever your close." I sit on Carl's lap and wrap my arms around his neck and legs around his waist. Hayes stood up "Damn woman. You can kick." Hayes chuckles. I smile at Hayes. "Okay Carl I'm gonna start cleaning it." Pawpaw says. Carl nods then he crashed his lips onto mine. With the hand my grandfather wasn't trying to fix Carl gripped my waist. I kissed Carl back as he whimpered. Guess Pawpaw started cleaning it. I pull back "S-sorry I had to get a distraction." Carl says. I smile "Thats fine Carl." I place a hand on Carl's cheek and rub my thumb over it "Your doing so good." I whisper to him. Carl whimpered again as Pawpaw poured something on his hand. "It hurts like....a lot." Carl breaths. He shoves his face into my shoulder. I frown then smile once I remember the topic I've been wanting to bring up "You know whats tomorrow?" I ask Carl curiously. Carl smiles "Our two year anniversary?" Carl asks. I nod with a smile "A whole two years with you." I tell Carl. Carl smiles "Its been a wonderful two years with you kitten." Carl tells me. I smile and kiss Carl's lips as I see Pawpaw bandage Carl's hand up. "Yep no stitches needed." Pawpaw says. I smile at Carl "All done." I tell him. I hop off of Carl's lap and Carl stands up. "I have to go on a run anyone need anything?" Glenn asks as he walks into the infirmary. "Uh yeah me actually." I say as I walk away from Carl. "I need you to get me something for me and Carl's anniversary tomorrow." I whisper to Glenn. "What do you need?" Glenn asks. "Anything that you think he would like I guess. Comicon books, a watch, some type of pocket knife maybe..I don't know. Just anything like that I guess." I whisper. Glenn nods "Will do." He says then walks out the infirmary. "What did you need that you had to be so.....quite?" Carl asks. "Well..." i pauae and try to think of something "Girl things." I lie. Carl nods "Oh okay." Carl says. I nod "Yeah I just needed a few girl things." Carl places his hand on my stomach "Does it hurt? I can rub your stomach like i do sometimes if it does or I can get a hot towel and we can place it on your stomach." Carl tells me softly. I shake my head "Im not on it yet but you know gotta be prepared." I say. Carl nods "Okay." Carl says as I take his bandaged hand and look at it. "Im gonna go clean up that glass." Hayes shakes his head "Already got it." I smile "Thank you Hayes" I thank Hayes. Carl smiles "I know we cant do much tomorrow because we have to stay inside unless we absolutely have to go outside but I promise I'm gonna try and make tomorrow as special as ever." Carl tells me. "Carl you just being there tomorrow with me is enough." I look at Pawpaw "Thank you for fixing him Pawpaw" I smile at my grandpa. He smiles back "Your welcome Mia." Carl nods "Yeah thank you Hershel." Carl smiles. Pawpaw places a hand on Carl's shoulder "Anything for the boy who makes my little princess happy." Pawpaw says. Carl smiles as he kisses my cheek "I try my hardest everyday to make her happy" Carl says. Judith's cries started to fill the prison. "Im coming pumpkin!" i yell as I run out of the infirmary and down stairs. I run into Rick's cell to see a crying Judith. "Oh pumpkin. It's okay." I say to her. She looks at me with a bobbin on her face and calms down at little at the sight of me. I pick Judith up and kiss her cheek like I always do. "Are you hungry pumpkin?" i ask as Carl walks into the cell with a bottle "I thought she probably will be hungry so heres her bottle." Carl says as hands me the bottle. "Look what Bubba got you! Say thank you Bubby!" I say as I place the bottle in Judith's mouth. She automatically starts sucking on her bottle Carl comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist like he always does then starts to sway back and forth with Judith and I. "Can I be honest?" i ask with a smile. Carl nods "Of course babe." Carl tells me. "I love when you do this. Im holding Judith and you'll wrap your arms around me and sway with us back and forth." Carl smiles at me. He kisses my cheek as he lets go of my waist and walks in front of me. Carl carefully takes Judith from my arms. He sits on his Dad's bed and I crawl in after him. "She has moms nose." Carl smiles then frowns. "I miss Mom." Carl sighs. "I know I do too." I sigh as I curl up into Carl's side. "Lori would be so proud of you." I say and kiss Carl's cheek "She is proud of you." I whisper into Carl's ear. He shakes his head as he attempted to burp Judith. "I don't think so." Carl frowns. "Oh but I know so. Whats not to be proud of? You take the best of care of sister, you help the group, you keep me safe, you do your best to never let a soul down, and if you do you always make it better, your strong, smart, brave, always there for your family." I go on listing things. "Im extremely proud of you. You've been through so much yet you still stay so strong and protect your family." I leave a trail of kisses down Carl's neck. Carl smiles as he rested his head on the cell wall. "Mia, babygirl." Carl breaths "Yes?" I ask as I bring my lips back up to Carl's cheek. "I love you so much." Carl tells me. I smile as Judith burps and lets just say im really happy i wasnt the one who was burping her this time because she threw up all over Carl's shoulder. "I love you so much more." I laugh as Carl puts Judith in my lap. "Oh come on! Really Judy? You had to choose today to throw up while someone was burping you?" I laugh at Carl as I hold Judy close to me. "You probably wanna change your shirt." I smile. Carl stands up and takes his shirt off "Gosh this stuff stinks." Carl scrunches his nose up. "Well babe it is baby vomit." I giggle. I look down at Judith who was just staring up at the ceiling. "Were gonna put you laying on your tummy. Get that neck strong and get you to start rolling over sooner. I say as I stand up and lay Judith in her crib on her stomach. Judith whined a little at first but was okay after. Carl went throw his shirt with the rest of the dirty clothes then ran back. "Thank you for taking Judy." I smile at Carl. Carl
Playfully pushes me "Your lucky I love your hot little butt." Carl says as pokes my butt. I laugh as Carl kisses me on my mouth. Carl pulls away and turns his head then yawns. "You tired?" I ask. Carl shrugs "Little." I smile at Carl and walk over to Judy's play pin. I pick her up carefully "Go to sleep ill watch her." I tell Carl as he lays down on Rick's bottom bunk. "No come see with her" Carl says. I walk over to the bed and Carl pushes himself all the way up against the wall then takes Judith. He lays Judy down next to him. "Now lay down." I follow Carl's instructions and lay down next to Judy. Carl sighed as he grabbed Judy's tiny hand. "She's still so tiny." Carl smiles. I nod "Yeah she is." I smile. "Today wasn't such a bad day. It was actually good" Carl pauses "But I have feeling this wont last long. Us being able to just hang out like this all day." Carl tells me. I nod "Carl are we gonna have to kill The Governor?" I ask. Carl shrugs "I really don't know." Carl tells me. "Carl....promise you'll never leave me." I whisper to Carl. "Like leave as in get hurt and then killed leaving." I say. Carl shakes his head as he places a blanket over him, Judith, and I. "Baby I can promise that I'm never leaving, but what i cant do is promise that ill never leave you by dying. I can get hurt and die any day and you nor I can stop that. If it happens it happens." Carl tells me as I frown. "Listen to me." Carl says as he grabs my hand. "No matter what though I am never leaving. Even if I die I will still always be with you." Carl kisses my knuckles. "Ill always be with you too." I smile at Carl. He leans over Judith who had fallen asleep and kisses my lips. "Lets take a nap." Carl says as he pulls away and lays on the bed. "But this is your Dads cell. Wont he want us to get out?" I ask. Carl shakes his head "He probably wont." Carl says. I lay my head on the pillow with a sigh. "Don't stress baby girl. Everything will be okay I promise." Carl says. He looked down at Judy. "Were gonna have to move princess because I wanna hold my babygirl." Carl tells me. I smile as I carefully pick Judy up and place her in my spot. I then crawl in the middle and pull Judith close to me so I was holding her in my arms. Carl wrapped his arms around my waist. I sighed "No stressing babygirl. Everything will be fine. We will beat this war, and everything will be okay." Carl whispers to me, his lips brushing against my ear each time his lips moved. I close my eyes as Carl started to hum. He slipped his cold hands under my shirt. I gasped at the feeling and Carl smirked. He started to rub his hands all over my back which felt really nice. "Carl-" i begin and Carl cuts me off "Shhh, Mia just go to sleep and remember no stressing. I hate to see you stressing, it makes me feel stressed." Carl says as he kisses my shoulder. I slowly fell asleep as Carl left little kisses all over my neck and then kissed and rubbed my back. I fell asleep I wish i could say with no stress, but I sadly cant. I mean when a guy who doesn't even know you wants you to die and plans on killing you, its a little hard to have no stress.
