A/N: I'm so f'in sorry for a long Hiatus, I was working on others stories and decided to place this story on hold for a while. (Which lead to months of Hiatus) But don't worry, this story is back on track now!

Tw: Blood, Open wounds, Needles, Childbirth

The group were secluded in a house to keep from the frost and to keep Rosalie alive at any cost. She was at the brink of death from bleeding out of her wound, she fears that her baby might be dead. She and Joel have slept together whenever the girls are deep asleep, they're first time was at the motel back at K.C.

In the basement, Rosalie let out a scream of pain after Joel put pressure on her wound to stop the bleeding with a rag. Her shirt was pulled up but just to reveal the wound for the others to clean it, her breathing was heavy and ragged.

"J-joel." She called out for him as he let out a cry of pain as she's breathing heavily.

"Shh... Try not to speak baby." He told her as he puts pressure onto the wound, she writhed in pain.

The sound of Cain's whining was heard from behind the door along with scratching.

Unsure what to do Joel decides to let the girls leave them, to go back to Tommy but they declined. Stating that they won't leave the woman that they raise her.

At some point Rosalie's eyes started to slowly, Joel begged for her to try to keep them open but it was no use as she passed out.

Boston, Massachusetts - 2009

She ran. Ran as fast as she could and never stops until she found herself in a seclude house in the woods.

Not scary at all.

When she walks in, she immediately boards up the doors and windows. She cries out in pain while clutching her swollen stomach. She was due any minute now. But she couldn't give birth right here and now. Not when she's in danger.

She quickly make her way upstairs and into a small room where she instantly boards the door with a small furniture, she knows it won't gonna do shit for what's coming.

She backs up to a corner of a room, panting like crazy and groaning as a contraction shot through her like a bullet. She felt the need to push, and she did while trying not to scream. But she couldn't contain her screams of agony anymore as she screamed.

Until her scream were mixed with a small one, she looks down to see her baby right in front of her. She tears up and then picks up her child to held her close to her chest.

Suddenly the sounds of running footsteps going up the stairs, she prepares herself with her gun. She aimed it as soon as she heard something crash against the door which moves the chair against the floor, then the door burst open by an Infected that charge towards the girls.

Rosalie pull the trigger but was met by clicking noise. Dammit she thought as she instead hit the Infected by the metal part of her gun, it fell to the ground and tried to claw at them but Rosalie grab the wooden leg from the busted chair and repeatedly slammed it against the creature until it was dead.

She panted and fell to the ground, the only sound was the wailing baby. She comforted the small infant until she saw the umbilical cord had claw marks on it, she imminently cut it off with her hunting knife. Luckily the afterbirth happen during the Infected attack.

She lovingly hum a lullaby while stroking her baby's back, the baby eventually calmed down and cooed softly. Her small fist clenched against her mother's shirt, she felt her mother pressed a kiss to her small head.

~~~

Hours have passed since the birth Rosalie stayed in the small room with her baby wrap in her jacket so she won't get cold while continuing to hum her a song to help her sleep, when suddenly the door opens to reveal two men and Marlene she lowers her gun as she saw the dead Infected a feet away from them.

Rosalie held her baby close to her chest, "It-it bit into the cord, I manage to cut it before it could infect her."

"It's alright, don't worry." Marlene comfort her. "We'll take her to get check up." Marlene slowly walk towards the new mother and gently scoop the baby into her arms and get a closer look at her, "She looks just like him."

Rosalie let out shaky chuckle mix with tears as she quickly wipes them away, "I know." One of the men helped her up and wrap a blanket around her figure as they walk away from the abandoned building.

~~~

In an abandoned facility Rosalie sat in a chair in a waiting with clean clothes on, her hair was in a braid. Her knees were bouncing as she painterly waited for any news of her baby, she could feel her heartbeat going crazy against her chest.

Then Marlene steps into the room, the energy starts to become tense when she steps in. Rosalie sat up, "How is she?" She ask.

"She's doing fine." The Firefly queen replied. "They tested her and the results came back negative, she's not infected." A relived but stutter breath escape Rosalie's mouth as she sat back down.

Marlene sat down next to her, they sat in silence for a good dead minute. "Henry saved your life. Both of your life." Marlene finally spoke up.

"Yeah I know." Rosalie said, trying her best not to cry again.

Then a doctor walks in with her baby in hand, Rosalie stood up and grab her baby in her arms. The baby fusses a little bit before calming down at the soothing of her mother, "Don't worry, Callie. Mommy will protect you at all cost. I promise."

Present day

Those words stuck to Callie's head 'til this day; her mother had protected her for all these years and now it was her turn to take care of her. And so she starts rummaging through drawers and cabinets until she saw a needle and a thread.

She made her back to the basement where Joel and her mother was, she handed him the needle and thread. He then starts to stitch up her wound while she cries in agony as she held his hand.

Until she fell asleep once again.
