Lone Wolf

Chapter Forty-Two

"You stay safe out there." I told him.

"I will. Michonne will be with me." He told me.

I nodded and kissed him.

"Come back soon." I told him.

"Promise." He said.

He kissed me and said bye to the kids.

It's been three days since he left with Michonne. I was sitting on the couch, with my hand on my stomach. The babies are really active today.

"Mom, are you okay?" Carl asked.

"Yeah. The babies are just really active today." I told him. "Can you take Judith out for a walk. I want her to get used to the community." I told him.

He nodded and came downstairs with her.

"Have a nice walk." I told them as I kissed his forehead, before kissing Judith.

"Mama!" Judith said.

I looked at her shocked.

"Did she-" I spoke.

"She did." Carl said.

"Say it again, baby. Mama." I told her.

"Mama! Mama!" She chanted.

I laughed and picked her up.

"That's right, baby." I cheered.

"Go on, Carl. Take a walk with her. I'll make some lunch." I told him.

I made lunch with a smile. I called all the kids back and as we ate, they all tried getting her to say their name.

"Iz!" She said.

I laughed.

"HA!" Isabelle cheered.

We laughed and spent the rest of the day, playing with Judith. Night came and we went to sleep. I had Judith next to me. The next days is how we spent the day. Spending the day with the kids, getting Judith to talk and walk more and going to sleep with her. The babies are moving more though and making it difficult to fall asleep.

It's been more than a week and Rick and the others have returned. He came towards me and put his hand on my stomach before kissing me.

"Have they been good?" He asked.

"They like keeping me awake at night." I told him.

"Dada." We heard. We turned around and saw Carl holding Judith.

"She's talking?" He asked.

"She started talking a couple days ago. Her first word was mama." I told him.

He smiled.

"We have plenty of food and some guns that we found. We still need more, but we can survive longer." He told me.

I noddded.

"I might be able to help with the guns." Tara said.

We looked at her and we talked about a group she met who had weapons. The next day, Rick, Carl, Tara, Isabelle, and Athena went. Enid, Eric, Aaron, Gabriel, and Daryl also went with him including some other people. I didn't want my girls out there, but I knew Rick and Carl would watch them.

As they left, I couldn't help but be sad.

Isabelle:

After we got Daryl, we followed Tara. I could smell the ocean around us. We made it to Oceanside and started planning. Michonne got in a tree as we surrounded the area.
