[warnings: language]

The group had gone silent aside from the howling wind, Georgia never really had cool winds. The air felt sticky, and any dirt stuck to her skin.

Was it a mistake telling everyone in the group that Daryl and she slept together? Hell yes but with the drama going on between the grimes' and Shane; Willow would lie. She didn't think that she could handle anymore issues at the moment. She was too busy taking care of Charlie and carl and searching for her friends to want to deal with a married couple's infidelity.

The box in her hand felt strangely heavy, almost as if rocks replaced the little stick. The box was now crumpled in her grasp as she stood there facing the group. "The pregnancy test is mine. Daryl and I slept together." she repeated a bit louder this time.

"I think I'm going to be sick." Glenn grimaced a hand quickly darting to cover his mouth.

"I had asked Glenn to get the items for me. The test to make sure that I was correct and the pills just in case." Everyone knew what she meant when she said pills. It was obvious who would want to raise a child in these conditions. "Now if you'll excuse me." she said, turning on her heels. Her steps were quick, practically jogging. She was embarrassed. Even if she was just covering for Lori, it still brought a red hue to her cheeks.

Footsteps followed behind her, heavy ones. She knew exactly who they belonged to. "Don't worry." she said quietly just so the two of them could hear. "I'm not actually pregnant. You're safe." she reassured Daryl as they now made their way up the old wooden stairs.

Daryl opened his mouth to speak but she cut him off. "I can't have kids so you're good."

Willow continued inside. Her back turned from the stares and whispers from the rest of the group.

Ones inside the old farmhouse willow went to check on Carl who was fast asleep under the covers. Willow checked his vitals and temperature making sure all was well. When she left the bedroom, she bumped into Lori and passed off the pregnancy test, Lori thanked her and apologized but Willow brushed her off saying that she would've done that for anyone and to let her know the results.

Willow tried her best to stay out of sight from the rest of the group. She wasn't afraid to face she was just afraid of the questions that would come. If she could have stayed away forever, she would have but she had a duty and that was taking care of Charlie. So around four thirty she quietly slipped out of the front door and down the stairs.

Tonight, was Charli's bath night which meant she would be busy for at least an hour, maybe two if she was lucky.

"Did you really sleep with Daryl?" a voice asked from beside her.

She jumped a hand going to her chest. "Jesus Christ Glenn what the hell is wrong with you sneaking up on me like that i could've shot you!"

"Sorry." he mumbled, scratching at his ear. "But is it true, did you sleep with him? I didn't know dirty hillbillies were your type."

"I don't have a type and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you pizza boy." her shoes made soft thuds in the grass as she made her way towards a sleeping Charlie. Her eyes were focused on him and only him afraid if she looked anywhere else, she would catch the stairs of the rest of the group.

"I'm not a pizza boy anymore so that insult doesn't hurt." Glenn quickened his pace to match hers. "Why did you cover for Lori?" he leaned in whispering.

Willow pursed her lips, blowing the hair from her face. "It's complicated and not my place to say." she said in a hushed tone. "When Lori's ready she'll tell everyone but for now it was mine, end of discussion." she said quickly shutting down the conversation.
