Narrative

Aurora sat with Evie and Ellie in her arms. Deja and Jaden looked at the girl with wide eyes.

"This is Elowen and Everest. They're my... babies." She said lowly and slowly. Deja's mouth dropped and Jaden rubbed his eyes.

"What the fuck." He muttered to himself. Running a hand down his clean face. Aurora felt uncomfortable, Deja looked at her with a face of shock.

A huge smile formed and her eyes lit up. She jumped up from her spot and knelt down in front of Aurora.

"Oh my, they're gorgeous." She tickled them underneath their chins, watching as they giggle. Drool ran down their chins as they babbled nonsense to the unknown woman in front on them.

"They look just like you." She looks back to Jaden. "I want one." She pouts and his eyes widen and shakes his head violently.

"Nope, nope, nope. No way." He makes hand movements to exaggerate what he's trying to say.

"Fine, guess I gush over these two princesses." She picks up Everest, who had her sights trained on Daryl and Merle. They were just outside of the cell block.

"Dada. Dada." She mumbles making grabby hands over Deja's shoulder. She squeals, a way to get Daryl to notice her. It works, but it also draws everybody's attention to her.

"Uhh." Deja looks to her best friend.

"I'll explain it to you." She smiles, watching as Daryl walks into the cells to grab the demanding baby.

"She's a daddy's girl." He says with a smile and wink.

"You mind taking Ellie while I talk to Deja and Jaden?"

"I'll take her." He moves Evie to one arm, taking Ellie into the other one.

"Thank you." She turns to Deja, grabbing her hand. "Now, you two, come with me." She grips Jaden's hand, pulling him up.

They follow her upstairs to her cell, she made eye contact with Daryl before she pushed her two friends in and closed in behind her.

"Spill. Right now." Deja says, sitting on her bed. Jaden leans against the frame, biting his lip.

"Uhh... I don't know." She shrugs. "I guess we were a thing. If you can say that."

"If you can say that?" Deja raises her brows. "How old is he anyways?"

"23-24." Rory shrugs.

"Oh, that's not that bad I guess."

"Anyways, so when everything happened Shane took us to the quarry right outside of Atlanta." Rory started, she went on to tell them everything that happened up until now.

"You held a gun to her head!" Deja spun on her heel and faced her boyfriend.

"I didn't know it was her!" Jaden threw his hands up.

"Y'all- it's fine. I'm alive aren't I?" She raised a brow.

"See!" Jaden pouted and crossed his arms. "Ro, can I ask you a question? A serious one?"

"That was two right there." She said we a small smile. "No, I'm joking. Go a head."

"Who's the dad?" Her face dropped, happy mood was gone.

"I don't wanna talk about it." She turned on her heels and opened the cell door before walking down stairs. She pushed past Daryl and Merle, heading outside. Growls of walkers filled her ears.

Pulling out her knife, she started to stab them through the holes in the fence. Her vision clouded as everything rushed back to her.

A hand gripped her shoulder and she spun on her heels. Jaden stood there with concern on his face.

"I'm sorry." She sniffled as tears fell down her face. She wiped them with the back of her hand.

"Don't be sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset." He pulled her into a soft hug, letting her lay on his chest.

"I don't like talking about, him." She shook her head a little.

"That's fine. No pressure, none at all." He said. She sniffed again and pulled away from her. "You ok?" She nodded.

She gave him a smile and motioned for him to follow her back inside. The red door slammed shut behind them.

"Hey bae, you good?" Deja asked from her spot at the table. Rory nodded and sat down in front of her, Jaden took the spot next to his girlfriend.

"Rory!" Carl ran over to the group, a box in his hands. Getting to the table he placed down the box, which read 'Monopoly'

"Where are you getting these games from?"

"The baby place had it, it wasn't opened. Brand new!" He sat down in the empty seat next to Rory. "Will you guys play with me?" He asked with a hopeful expression.

"Yeah." Rory smiles, looking to Deja and Jaden who nodded in agreement.

"You cheated!" Deja scolded her boyfriend. He disagreed with her.

"I did not! You sore loser!" He exclaimed. Rory looked to Carl.

"At least it's not us this time." She said, starting to clean up the pieces.

"Alright, y'all can continue to argue all you want. I'm going to bed." She looked up to the window that was barred over, it was dark now. Carl lit a couple of candles about an hour ago.

"Night, love you." Deja blew a kiss to Rory.

"Night, love you too." She blew a kiss back, stopping to give Carl and actual kiss on the head. She gripped the handrail as she went up the stairs. Opening her door, she jumped as her eyes landed on a figure in the corner.

"What are you doing in here? In the dark? Like a creep?" She lit the candle on the desk, lighting up the tiny room.

"Put the twins down to sleep." He shrugged. She furrowed her brows, lifting the shirt off of her head.

"Ok..." she peaked over the playpen side, the twins were peacefully asleep. Sighing, she turned around to the man.

"Why'd you come back?" She didn't face him, she played with the butterfly charm around her neck.

"Wasn't nothing out there for us." He got up from his spot in the corner.

"Mhm." She nodded her head.

"I also missed you, and the twins." He whispered. She stopped her movements and slowly turned.

"I think I'm gonna head to bed now, goodnight Daryl." She said quietly. His confident demeanor dropped.

"Night Rory." He frowned, turning around and leaving. She wiped her eyes and walked to her bed, slipping under the covers.

She blew out the candle before falling asleep.

When she woke up, a arm was wrapped around her and she was warm. Her eyes widened and looked down at the arm around her. She calmed down when she seen it was Deja.

She yawned and rubbed her eyes a little, getting comfortable in the arms of her best friend. Just then the door of her cell creaked open and Carl peaked his head in.

"Breakfast is ready." Rory nodded and peeled Dejas arm off of her, she went over to the playpen to get the twins to see they were already gone.

"Beth came and got them when Deja came and laid back down." Carl whispered. Rory walked out behind him and down stairs.
