The ghost of you! (Maggie and Glenn fanfic)

Part 14: The birthday

Josephine Rogers POV

I smiled as Optimus poured whipped cream
Into my mouth. Me, Optimus, Dad and Mom were sitting in my room being lazy.

I laughed as Optimus fell off my bed. I died laughing and mom smiled.

I was laying in my room with Optimus. I was laying my head on his lap. He sighed. "What are we gonna do today, Poo?" he asked me.

"You have to go fix that gate outside. I'm going to see how my dragons are doing." I corrected him. "Mm."

He then kissed my forehead. "Mkay. I'll see you after." I nodded.

I walked out into the courtyard and saw Riley, Jackie, and Rosie. My three baby dragons were bigger and they saw me. Riley was the biggest one and she saw me first. She walked over and I smiled and rubbed her jaw. She purred.

"Hey. You seen Merle around?" Daryl asked Optimus. The prime sighed and ignored him. Daryl helped him with the gate.

"He says he was sorry yet? 'Cause he is. He said if he knew how close she was to me--"

"He wouldn't have done anything to her?" Optimus sneered. Daryl sighed.

He walked over to the table. Optimus then slammed the cloth down. "He tied me to a chair, beat me, and threw a walker in the room. Maybe I should call it even. But he..." Optimus took a deep breath.

"He took my baby sister to a man who terrorized her, raped her, humiliated her and my mother. I care more about them than I do myself." Optimus stated.

I giggled as I saw the two of his wrestling. Jackie and Rosie, we're fighting in the air over a dead carcass.

I sighed. Riley was cuddling me. I smiled and rubbed her about.

"What happened with you, Glenn, Optimus, Josephine, and Maggie?" Daryl asked.

"I've done worse." merle sneered.

I sighed as I gently rested a hand on my stomach. I knew I was pregnant and so did my brother. We were working on telling our parents.

I then saw Mon and Dad storm outside. "Mom! We were going to tell you..." Optimus tried to reason with her.

"You're pregnant and you didn't tell me?" Mommy hissed. I sighed. "Why didn't you..." She took a deep breath.

"I didn't know how to. How am I supposed to tell my parents I'm pregnant with my rapist's child?" I asked.

Dad sighed. "We will support you, Jo. We would never have judged you just because you are having his baby." Dad said. I smiled.

Riley and the other three followed me to go see Daryl. I found him in his cell. "Hey..." I said. He turned.

"Um, can we talk?" I asked. "Sure--"

"Jo, I need your help," Merle yelled. I sighed.

I went with him.

I walked behind Merle and Michonbe my three dragons behind me. I sighed and felt a small pain. Riley nudged me. "I'm fine," I told her. She cooed.

We saw a walker. Merle grabbed her sword and cut the walker in half.

He laughed. "Oh! You know what? I'd figured you would have run." Merle said to Mixhonne. "I want my sword before I get say," she said. Merle laughed.

"Don't do anything to Jo. There's a reason she brought her dragons." Michonne smirked.

We got to a motel and Merle tied her up. He then walked over to a car. He opened the car door.

I sighed.

He then started the engine. Suddenly a loud ass alarm went off. "Merle?" I asked. "Irs fine, Jo!" he yelled.

I looked around. Riley, Jackie, and Rosie growled as they circled around me. They lit the walker on fire in front of Michonne.

"MERLE!" I yelled. Jackie ripped be walker off him and lit it on fire. "GO!" I yelled at them. They flew up and I got in the car.

Merle drove off.

I winced as my stomach was hurting. I winced and placed a hand on my stomach.

Merle let Michonne go. I was sitting in the place with him. "Merle I'm not letting you do this alone!" I said.

"I appreciate it, Jo." I tensed. "But I'm not putting you nor this baby in danger," he told me.

I felt the tears come down. He kissed my head. "Take care of Daryl for me." I nodded.

I got out of my hiding to see Daryl. "Hey, where's Merle?" he saw me staring at a walker.

I started crying and Daryl pushed him a few times and then tackled him. He stabbed him repeatedly in the head. He dropped backward sobbing. I hugged him crying.
