Mia's P.O.V.

It was cold in the prison just like it always was in the morning. Carl was sleeping on my bed with me next to him. I watched as his chest would rise then fall back down with every breath he took. His beautiful eyes unable to be seen since they were closed, his addicting lips parted slightly as he let out small snores. I smile at the boy who is all mine. All mine. No one else's. This is my irresistible boy. I lean down to Carl's ear and whisper "Babyboy." Carl clutched the blanket that was laying over him closer to himself. "Come on Carl you gotta wake up its 9:30 we probably have some chores to do for Rick." I whisper as I rake my hands through Carl's fluffy hair. Carl groans a little as I kiss his ear. "Carl." I sing softly in his ear. Carl opens his beautiful ocean blue eyes. He smiles at me sheepishly "Morning beautiful." I smile as I quickly peck Carl's cheek. "Morning handsome." Carl smiles as he rubs his eyes with his hands. Carl shivered and pulled the blanket up to his shoulders. "Would you like a shirt?" I ask with a giggle. Carl nods "Please baby?" He asks me. I nod as I get off the bed. I grab one of Carl's shirts that he had in here and throw it at him. Carl sits up then quickly puts it on. "Im gonna go see Pawpaw for a little while. Okay?" I ask. Carl nods "I need to speak with Dad." Carl says as he stands up and kisses my lips "Ill see you around." Carl says as he grabs my hips. I wrap my arms around his neck "Im sure you will." I kiss Carl and pull away. He smiles and decided to push me up against a wall. Carl kisses my lips hard once and then starts leaving little kisses all over my face and neck. I start laughing at him "Carl! Stop!" I whine playfully with a giggle. Carl shook his head with a smile "I love you" Carl tells me. I peck his lips "I love you too Grimes now I gotta go." I say. Carl lets go of my waist and grabs my wrist. I start to walk out of the cell and Carl lets go if my wrist then I walk to Pawpaw's. He was sitting on his bed reading the bible. A thing my grandfather did an awful lot these days. Pawpaw looked up at me from his book. "Hey sweetie" He smiles at me as I take a seat on his bed next to him. "Hey Pawpaw." I smile. "Whats up?" He asks. I shake my head and shrug "Nothing much-" i start to say but get cut off by my name being yelled. "Hey has anyone seen Mia!" I hear Glenn yell. I stand up and poke my head out of the cell "Im in Pawpaw's Glenn!" I yell. I soon see Glenn "Perfect" he smiles. Glenn stops with a frown on his face."Glenn...... whats wrong?" I ask. He shakes his head "Ill be there in a second Mia." Glenn says sounding a little nervous. I nod "O-Okay." i go back and sit next to Pawpaw. Soon Glenn came in with the pocket watch Pawpaw gave him at the farm. Glenn leans against the cell door "Look at what that bastard has done to us" Glenn shakes his head. "He's one man. They'll be others like him. There always have been." Pawpaw says. Glenn shakes his head as he goes to sit down on the stool that is in Pawpaw's room "I know. It's like the walkers, theres nothing we can do." Glenn looks at me and I give him a small smile. Glenn showed Pawpaw the watch. "When you gave me this" Glenn pauses "I didn't fully understand what it meant." Glenn tells Pawpaw. "Such a simple thing." Glenn says as he grabs my hand. I stand up and walk towards him. I sit on one of his legs and Glenn wraps his arms around me. Pawpaw smiles as I do, "I know what it means now." Glenn nods. "I know what it takes." Glenn kisses my cheek. Pawpaw had a small smile on his face. I think he knows something or understands something better then I do right now because I'm confused. "I wanna marry Maggie." Glenn says. My stomach drops, my face showed pure shock. "There doesn't have to be a wedding because I don't even know if we'll last the week but I know I want her to know before" Glenn stopped "God who even knows anymore?" Glenn asks. He looks at me and I just stayed there. So many thoughts raced through my head. "You have my blessing but I think this little one is the one who you should really be asking if you ask anyone" Pawpaw says. Glenn looks at me "Mia I love you and your mom so much-" Glenn says and ai cut him off "Are you gonna stay?" I ask. "Mia of course I will princess! Im gonna stay right here with you and your mom and I promise I will protect you two. I wont leave like your father did." Glenn reassures. I shake my head "That man isn't my father if anyone is.... it's you." I say. Glenn smiles "So can we be a real family? Me you and your momma?" Glenn asks. I nod "Yeah......yeah we can." I say with a smile. Glenn hugs my waist tightly "I love you." He whispers to me. I hug Glenn's neck "I love you too." i whisper back. Glenn smiles "You know your the closes thing I ever had to a Dad." I tell Glenn. He nods "I know princess, I'm sorry about that." Glenn frowns. I shake my head "Don't be. That man wasn't cut out to be my father, but I think you are." Glenn smiles at me them kisses my temple. "I promise ill be the greatest father that you could ever have." Glenn tells me. Glenn looks up at Pawpaw "Thank you." he say. Pawpaw smiles with a nod. "Hey i gotta go princess." Glenn tells me. I nod and hop off his lap. "Glenn wait.." Pawpaw says as Glenn was about to walk out of the cell. Glenn stops and looks at Pawpaw "You keep my girls safe. Maggie and Mia are two of the three most important things in the world to me. They mean everything to me." Pawpaw says. I smile and Glenn nods "I promise I will protect them till the day I die." Glenn looks at me with a smile and I smile back. He leaves and I walk out of Pawpaw's cell "Carl! Carl! Carl! Where the heck are you!" I yell as I run around the prison trying to find him. I see Carl with my mom. "Hey babe whats up?" Carl ask. I walk up to Carl "I need to talk to you thats all." I say as I wrap my arms around one of Carl's arms. He kisses my forehead and my mom smiles "Im going on watch. You two be good." Mom says. "We will momma!" I say with a smile as she walks away. Once I know shes out of the prison I start jumping up and down. "Baby what are you so excited about?" Carl laughs at me. "Glenn is gonna propose to Momma!" I say excitedly. Carl smiles "He is? Mia, baby thats great!" Carl hugs me "You cant tell anyone though." I say as I press my index finger up to Carl's lips. He nods and kisses my finger. I giggle as I pull my finger away "Goof." I call him. Carl smiles and I grab his hand as I see Glenn start to go outside "Glenn" I call put and Glenn looks at me "Can we come? You know to watch?" I ask. Glenn nods "Of course." Glenn says. We all walk outside to see mom looking out towards the field. I stop Carl "Lets stay a little behind and just watch." Carl nods with a smile. "You know what this means right?" Carl asks me. I shake my head. "We can do this one day." Carl informs me "We can get married, and have a baby..." Carl smiles. "Can you imagine that? Us together. Married with a baby?" Carl asks me as he wraps his arms around my waist. I smile at the thought. Carl and I happily married and me with a big swollen belly then a month later we would have our little angel that we created together. "I can imagine it so clearly." I smile with a nod "But if we did it we would have to make sure we were safe." I say. Carl nods "Well yeah." Carl nods. Glenn started talking to Momma and soon got down on his knee. I smiled as Momma's hands flew to her mouth. I grabbed Carl's hands into mine as tears start to fill my eyes. Mom nodded her head and Glenn slipped the ring he had onto her finger. Mom hugged Glenn tightly and I smile "I haven't seen her this happy with someone......ever." I shake my head. Carl smiles "Aww baby your tearing up." Carl points out.I wipe my eyes "Shut up!" I whine. Carl laughs as he kisses my cheek "Your happy for your Mom theres nothing wrong with that." Carl whispers in my ear. "I cant wait for that to be us." Carl rubs his hands up and down my arms. I smile "I cant ether pumpkin." I tell Carl. He nuzzles his head into my neck as I watch Momma kiss Glenn with tears running down her face. "What were you and Momma talking about earlier?" I ask Carl. "I uh....I just told her how uh we had different perspectives on a lot of things." Carl tells me. "And what did she say?" I ask. "She told me her and Glenn are the same way and not to be worried that we love each other a lot and that we will be fine." I grab Carl's hand with a nod "We will. If anything happens im not breaking up with you. I think we should just take a break if we
ever have too." Carl kisses my knuckles "Yeah If we start fighting a lot or something like that I rather us just take a short break then us actually break up." carl continues to leave little kisses on my knuckles. I kiss Carl's cheek "Your so loving and sweet. I love it." I tell Carl. Carl smiles "My baby deserves all the love and sweet words she can get." Carl tells me as he kisses my neck. I giggle as I place my hands on his cheeks. Carl continued to kiss my neck sweetly and I pulled his face up to mine and kissed Carl's lips. Momma and Glenn walked up to us. Mom had a big smile on her face as she wiped her tears. "They're gonna be just like us one day." Glenn whispers to my mom. She smiles and laughs slightly. I pull away from Carl. He wrapped his arms around my waist "Congrats you two" Carl says as he lays my head on my shoulder. "Thank you Carl." Momma smiles. "Babe you gotta let go of me so I can go hug my mom." I tell Carl as I try to pry his arms away from my waist. "Fine but you can only leave my arms for a moment the. You have to come back to me." Carl says as his arms drop to his sides. I shake my head with a smile at him as I walk over to Momma and hug her "Congrats Momma." Moms hugs me back with a smile. "Okay I would like my baby back now." Carl says as he extends his arms out towards me. Glenn laughs "Cant even keep her out of your arms for more then five seconds huh?" Glenn asks ad I walk over to Carl. He takes me into his arms "You just never know these days." Carl says as he buries his face in my hair. Momma smiles "Take care of my girl Carl Grimes." Glenn says. I smile as Carl grips my waist "I swear I will." Carl kisses my cheek. "Carl! I need you on guard duty for a little bit." I hear Carol yell from the door leading inside to the of the prison. "Okay Ill be there in a moment Carol!" Carl yells back to her. I kiss Carl's lips "Make sure to bring more then one clip and make sure they are all fully, put your bullet proof vest on and if you suspect anything suspicious you come tell us right away. Got it?" I ask as I clutch Carl's flannel in my hands pulling Carl closer to me "Yes ma'am." Carl says. I smile "I love you." I tell Carl as I look into his incredibly beautiful eyes. "I love you too Mia." Carl kisses my lips forcefully then pulls away after a few seconds "So much." Carl sighs with a smile. I let go of Carl's flannel "Go do your job babe. Keep us safe." I cross my arms over my chest. Carl smiles at me "Will do kitten." Carl winks at me. I giggle at him as he walks towards the prison. "You really love him don't you?" Glenn asks. "I love him......so freaking much." I sigh with a smile as I shake my head. "Im like still head over heels for this boy." I explain as I look at the ground "He makes me feel special, happy, and loved." Momma smiles "Im glad he makes you feel that way baby." I smile. "Today he asked me something. He asked me if I coukd imagine getting married to him and having a baby." I smile with a small blush. "He wants us to have a future together. He wants us to have a family one day." Momma frowns "Baby you have to realize we have someone who is after us. If we still have someone after us in the future, I'm sorry but I don't think its best to have a baby if The Governor is still after us." Momma shakes her head. I nod "I know Carl said we would wait till we were safe." Mom smiles "Even though I think you guys are a little young to be thinking so much about the future like that, if Carl ever came to us to ask to marry you ill tell you now I would definitely say yes." Glenn nods "Me too. He's a good boy." I smile at Glenn's words as I see Carl go into our place where we watch. Carl smiles at me and I wave with a smile. Carl blows me a kiss "Watch!" I tell him and point to the field. Carl rolls his eyes and I giggle. After a while of talking to Momma and Glenn Rick walked out of the prison and over to us. Rick placed a hand on my shoulder "Where's my boy?" He asks me curiously. "He is on guard duty. Don't worry I made sure to tell him to grab more then one clip, to make sure they were all fully, to wear his bullet proof vest and also if he sees anything suspicious to tell us right away." I tell Rick. Rick smiles "Good job." I smile. "I need to talk to everyone so can you get him for me then come to the basketball court?" Rick asks. "Of course." I nod. I walk towards the fence that barricaded the area Carl was in. "Babe your dad wants to talk to everyone in the basketball court so get your hot butt over here." Carl smiles then nods. We meet each other at the basketball court. "Your sitting next to my man." i tell Hayes who was sitting next to Carl as I cross my arm over my chest. "So what ya gonna do about it shorty?" Hayes asks me as Nanny sits on Hayes lap. "Just come sit on my lap kitten." Carl smiles at me. I sit on Carl's lap and push Hayes's shoulder. "Mia be nice." Nanny playfully scolds me. "Hey just because your my Nanny and you like him doesn't mean I cant be mean to him!" I say. Nanny blush "Mia shut up!" She hisses. I laugh and so does Carl as Hayes blushes too. "Dont worry Beth he is in like love with you! We always talk about you two girls." Carl says. I look at Carl "You talk good about me right baby?" I ask in a innocent voice as I trace my finger up and down Carl's chest. "Of course I do Mia, theres nothing bad to say." I smile at Carl "Aww babyboy." I gush. Carl smiles as he kisses my cheek. "Okay lets get to business." Rick says with a sigh following his words. "When I meet with The Governor he offered me a deal." Rick tells us. Carl growled at the name of the horrible man who made Merle take Momma, Glenn, and I. He pulled me closer to him. My back pressed flat against Carl's stomach. I ran my hands down To Carl's knee then back up "Calm down babyboy it's okay." I whisper to Carl. "He deserves to die." Carl growls in my ear. I tense up at Carl's words and he kisses my shoulder "Im sorry, i know you don't like me speaking like that." Carl whispers to me. I nod "What was the deal?" I ask. "He said he would leave us alone if I gave him Michonne" Rick says. I shot up "You said we weren't doing that!" I shout. Carl pulls me back down onto his lap "No let me go! She doesn't deserve to just be killed! She's a good woman!" I yell as I try to get out of Carl's grip. "I was gonna do that to keep us safe." Rick says "You sick bastard!" I yell. "Let me finish Mia!" Rick yells. "I changed my mind but Merle took Michonne to fulfill the deal and Daryl went to stop him and I don't know if it's to late."Rick says. I frown "She's gonna die if he gives her over!" I stress. Rick nods "I....I know. I was wrong not to tell you all and I'm sorry." Rick apologizes. "Now what I said last year. That first night after the farm it cant be like that, it cant" Rick says. I shiver at the thought of living like a wild pack of dogs again. I do not want to live like that ever again. Carl sense my discomfort and rubs my arms "It wont be like that again Mia." Carl whispers to me. "How do you know?" I ask quietly to where Carl could only hear. Carl frowns "I....I don't but I promise. I will never let you live like that again. That was just horrible." Carl whispers. I grab his hands in mine and lace our fingers together. Carl squeezes both my hands. "What we do, what were willing to do, who we are it's not my call." Rick says. "It cant be." he shakes his head. "I couldn't sacrifice one of us for the greater good because we are the greater good." Rick tells us. "Were the reason were still here not me." Rick says. "This is life and death. How you live" Rick pauses as he looks at the ground then back up at us "How you die it isn't up to me." Rick shakes his head "Im not your Governor" he spits out. "We choose to go, we choose to stay we stick together." Rick says as I squeeze Carl's hands. Carl rubs his thumbs over my hands as he concentrates on what Rick is saying. "We vote. We can stay and we can fight......or we can go." Rick tells us. Everyone stays silent and Rick walks away from us and to the guard tower. Everyone left except for Nanny and Hayes. Carl kisses my back "I want to stay and fight." Carl whispers in my ear. "I don't know what I want." I shake my head. "I want to make sure The Governor is dead." Carl whispers. I stand up as Carl realized he shouldn't have said that "Im sorry Mia! Im just still really mad at that disgusting bastard." Carl growls. He frowns "Please don't go storm off or hide in your cell if we have to fight i just want to spend some time with you before we do. Please Mia." Carl begs me. Hayes and Nanny looked at us confused because they didn't understand what happened. I sigh as I sit down on Carl's lap facing him. My hands go to Carl's hair and i flick hat off. It lands on the cement table that was behind us as my hands grab onto Carl's hair. I press my forehead against Carl's. Carl places his hands on my back "The Governor has more people then us and more fire power. If he comes and attacks us..... Carl were not gonna-" Carl cuts me off "We can make it." Carl tells me "But we wont." I tell him. Carl shakes his head "Don't......don't say that." Carl tells me his voice shaky. "Babyboy you know it's the truth." I say. Carl shakes his head "Can we just go see mom?" Carl asks. I nod "Of course we can babyboy." I kiss Carl and he kisses me back. Our lips move in sync and I tugged on Carl's hair. He gripped my waist "Carl stop sucking off my nieces face!" Nanny playfully yells. Carl pulls away and chuckles lightly. I stand up and look at Nanny. I smirk as I grab Carl's
hands and place them on my butt. "He can do much worse I'm sure." I tell her then look at Carl who was looking at me shocked. "Right babyboy?" I ask
As I lean down and kiss Carl's cheek. "Just go along with the joke." I whisper to Carl in his ear. Carl smirks as he finally gets what I'm doing. "Right I can kitten.I can do much much worse." Carl says as he squeezes my butt with his hands. I gasp and giggle. "Oh hahah now seriously get off of him." Nanny says. I laugh and get off of Carl. "Were going see Lori." Nanny nods "Be good!" She smiles at me. She knew Carl and I would never do anything but kiss right now. I just think were to young for anything else. Carl brought me to his Moms grave. He let me go whenever he was in front of it. I watched Carl as he dropped to his knees in front if the grave. "Momma, I miss you." He whispers. Carl looks down at his lap. "Everything is changing." He says. "Last night I woke up from a nightmare I had. It was about me killing you." Carl frowns. I didn't know he had dreams about his mom. "I had to leave the room because I woke up crying and I didn't want to wake up Mia." I kneel down behind Carl as he talked to his mom. I wrap my arms around Carl's torso. "Judith is beautiful. She's a wonderfully baby. Looks so much like you and Dad." carl says as his voice starts to get shaky. "Mom I miss you." Carl says as tears started to fall from his eyes. "Baby no. Don't... dont cry. Your gonna make me cry." I say as I move to the side of Carl. Carl looks down at his moms grave. His tears rolling off his cheeks and nose. I wipe Carl's tears as he sniffles "Im sorry." he whispers. I shake my head "Don't be. I miss her a lot too." I tell Carl. I wrap my arms around Carl and he hugs my waist. "We miss you a lot Lori. Your babygirl she is a true gift, and your babyboy is still my lovely babyboy too." Carl smiles at me and kisses the tip of my nose. I see Rick run to the gates and open them up to reveal "Michonne! She's okay!" I say with a big smile as Rick hugs her. Carl smiles "But wheres Merle and Daryl?" I ask. "Lets go see." Carl says. We ran towards Rick and then heard Daryl's motor bike. Daryl pulled in and Carl closed the gate behind him. Merle still wasn't with Daryl. Daryl got off his bike with red puffy eyes "Where is he?" I ask. Daryl looked at me and shook bis head "The Governor left him to turn i had to put him down." Daryl says. I frown and hug Daryl "Im so sorry." i whisper. Daryl hugs me back as he cried. This was the first time I had never seen Daryl Dixon cry. "Im sorry." Rick says as he places a hand on Daryl's shoulder. "Come on lets get you inside." I tell Daryl. I take his hand and bring Daryl inside. Everyone follows "I'm just gonna go kay down." Daryl says. I nod and kiss his cheek "Night Daryl." Daryl smiles at me lightly "Good night princess." Daryl says then walks to his cell. Carl comes up behind me and places his hands on my waist. "Ive never seen him so.....down." I say. Carl frowns "I know." I sigh "We need rest for tomorrow. Were choosing on if were staying or not so we need rest." I say. Carl nods "Yeah it's gonna be a lot of moving if we leave." Carl says as we walk to my cell. "Exactly." i nod. I got changed into my usual. One of Carl's shirts and some leggings because it was freezing cold now. Carl had his shirt and sweatpants. We both laid down on my bed and cuddled close to each other with my big blanket over us. "It's so cold." I shiver in Carl's arms. Carl laughs slightly "Yeah." He agrees. I sigh "We can stay or we can go. I think.....I
think I want to stay too." I say. "I don't want to be out there again constantly running from everything." I tell Carl. He nods "We'll tell Dad tomorrow. For now just get some rest princess." Carl tells me. He kisses my forehead as I close my eyes and snuggle up to him real close trying to get warm. "Fuck I hate the cold." Carl curses. "The only good part is that you let me cuddle you all the time." Carl says. I laugh with a nod "Yeah. Thats true." I smile. "Goodnight Carl." "Goodnight Mia."
