sucktember 21 - Maggie/Alden - Pop

Rated T - Pregnancy/Birth
------------

Maggie was ready to pop, her pregnancy had been a surprise to most of the family but everyone assumed she would get over Glenn eventually just not with who she did. Alden was always very careful with her and oftentimes tried not to step into the group's business but everyone was thankful that Alden was there for Maggie.

She had her son on her hip and a hand on her swelling belly. She was talking to Daryl who was holding RJ while Judith ran around them giggling and collecting flowers when she felt her legs grow wet. Daryl's eyes grew wide as he noticed her pants growing wet.

"Maggie?"

"I think my water just broke." Maggie managed out.

Daryl took Hershel Jr. in his other arm and ushered both Judith and Maggie towards the hospital wing. Judith was skipping behind him not exactly sure what was going on but she was happy to be following. Hershel Jr. was only two, RJ one and a half and now there would be a new baby for her to play with. Daryl was quick to get Maggie in and rush off to find Alden and get the kids out of the hospital wing.

Alden saw Daryl rushing his way. "Maggie is in labor, go quick, hospital wing." Daryl barked as he made his way towards the houses to lay the kids down and get Judith set up with some coloring books and a cookie.

Alden raced towards the hospital wing, he was so excited to welcome his child into the world. He loved being a father to Hershel, as much as Maggie allowed, and he couldn't wait for his child to enter the world. He wanted to stand by her side and help with their children. Alden burst through the door with a smile looking down to see Maggie on a bed and surrounded by her family.

Alden stepped up to stand beside her, he squeezed her hand and kissed her forehead. "You're doing great Maggie, amazing baby." He kissed her forehead again and knelt beside her. He kept a hold of her hand and let her squeeze it as hard as she could. She screamed and yelled but was happy to be bringing another life into the world. She missed Glenn everyday, but she was thankful to be having her baby and Alden. Alden had been there for her from the moment Glenn had been murdered. At first it had been a friendship, Alden just wanted to help her while she was pregnant. Eventually a relationship began to form between them, and from there her pregnancy formed.

Maggie continued to scream, feeling pain as she pushed, everything was coming down to how long this birth took. She screamed loudly and continued to squeeze his hand. "What can I do for you Maggie?" He asked as he kissed her hand carefully.

"Just get this baby out of me!" She screamed again, he only nodded and looked to the doctor who was busy working and keeping her eye on Maggie's birth. Maggie continued to scream and push.

Maggie kept pushing and screaming, Alden kept his hand out for her to squeeze while he cooed her and patted her hair down. He kissed her again and kissed her hair softly as he wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Maggie kept screaming until finally her child was born, everything seemed to feel right at that moment. Even with the dead roaming the walls, and lives falling apart. At this very moment no matter how much the world sucked, no matter how hard it was to wake up the next morning, Maggie had her children, her family, and she had Alden.
